So the last 2 step is nothing more then skill bloom and dress bloom with no guarantee what you will get...
Is this risky?

Yes, not to mention that step 5 is a GOLD bloom. If it were a Rainbow bloom, it would be an okay price, but for gold? I don't think it is. If step 5 and 6 were guaranteed dress blooms it would be a better deal, though I do think 1,500 would be a better value for a rainbow dress bloom.
Step 3 also isn't that great a deal, it's basically the paywall to get to step 4 if you're okay with about any rainbow knight.

any random rainbow knight except Dogwood is good.

I bet that deep in your heart you're actually a big Dogwood fan, hoping your pretence of disliking her will sometime result in 11 Dogwoods on a premium pull.

i had to lol at that one xD

I don't know why you guys focus on the latter steps when you should only be looking at the first two.

A lot?

I feel like you're either overestimating the number of whales, or underestimating the number of sensible spenders.

This is hardly the first gacha where going part-way was the better deal as opposed to going all the way.

Except no?

That's heavy gambler's fallacy speaking.

As far as getting good value out of your spending, then objectively speaking, steps 1 and 2 are a bargain simply because a normal 11-pull would run you ~$50 vs. $3/$5.

Anyone who wanted to roll would obviously jump on that. If they get burned by it, they obviously don't lose as much money, so they'll shrug and call it a day.

If they were shooting for better results, they would've jumped on the previous deal, or wait for one where they could pick their own gold.

Even previous step-up gachas had $10 steps for a guaranteed gold, not $20. It makes more sense to wait for those.

Again, I'm thinking you're overestimating how impulsive some people are, or generalizing the whale population as "anyone who spends, period".

I mean, fuck, if I got bad NG rolls, I'd sooner use my FGs than spend more cash.

Me - Stage ones a gift stage 2 is fairly well priced - stage 3+ Im out

Stage 2 - it was a trap



Now I'm off to the hospital to treat the large BURN this game just gave me

Stage 1 - 1 gold a dupe...apple of sodom so OK

Only got one gold, a dupe of a character that I already have maxed out, out of the first two sets. I would be nuts to go further. I don't mind spending a few bucks for the early pulls but there had better be something really special guaranteed if you expect people like me to go further in step gachas like this.
