It's really only "better" if you're completely lacking in golds and/or you weren't a fan of Anemone/Cactace/Cattleya/Dendrobium from the last gacha.

Well if you are someone who was going to spend 5k+ gold this month on the game anyway, you'll generally get much better results from this than doing 10+1s from the gacha. It may be a worse deal than the last one but those people probably bought that one too, and it's still a heck of a lot better than 10+1 pulls.

As a free player though none of this is really relevant to me, I'm just sad that there isn't a FG option.

I'd really love to roll this, but it's waaaayyy to expensive. Gonna wait for a better deal like other people are.
