Just realized that of the * specific gatchas the only one that doesn't allow free magatama use is the 5*. Man, it really does seem like they are going out of their way to screw the free player. -_-

It really does suck how malicious they are being towards free players. So far I'm enjoying the game. But I'm sure I'll eventually hit some kind of free player progression wall, eventually. I guess I'll keep playing until the progression starts making it not so enjoyable any more.
