This is the biggest reason of why this new system may be even worse than the previous one.

In the beginning the shards seemed to be the safety net that the players were looking for, to avoid wasting thousands of kobans for nothing, however the randomness on when the shards drop makes it all utterly crappy. The fact the the number of shards dropped is variable is irrelevant, all things considered.

In addition to the fact that they kept that stupid thing of making 3 out of 5 girls pachinko only, without a constant drop rate of shards after a reasonable number of battles, Kinkoid proved once again that they do not care about the players.

Here is an example of real safety net: shards of event girls drop after every 2 battles against the troll. So, worst case scenario, you have to fight 200 times to get one girl, which is a reasonable number even for free players, who only need to invest more time in the game, or refill.

Put it on 5 girls and you will get them all in no more than 1000 fights. Textbook safety net.

The drop on adventure girls could be after every 4 battles and still being perfectly fine.
