RNG has a lot to do with the amount of bouquetes we can get , and for a free player with only 3 normal slayer cards , it's pretty hard to aquire that amount unless he has good luck , or a pretty big stockpile of consumables. Which i still have quite a bit , but i don't see the point in wasting my all for 1 card....and still not be certain if i'll get it because of bad luck anyway.
Not assuming anything. I just posted all teh facts from my playthrough of the event.
I'm a F2P player, have never dropped 1 gold into this game. I have only the 3 N-Slayers. Outside of using the namin halves I got from the event itself, I started with only a dozen (or two, can't remember exactly) namin halves. On top of that, I must have consumed 5 to 10 namins.
That's it. I just played through.... And no, it was definitely not good luck. Over 75% of my chances have been 5~10 bouquets.
The only injected consumables I had in this event were around 300 pink keys I bought in N-Gacha/Key bundles.
THAT is what gave me enough radars to get many chances and reach these values.
Is RNG involved? Of course.
Is RNG the be-all end-all that surpases the Gods in this game? Not so much.
Any RNG (no matter how much it hates you, and believe me they ALL hate me. Viscerally) can be overcome with enough overload of probabilities.
That means spining the slot enough times that the laws of the universe itself say you have to get your desired reward.
In this case? Spending 10 times more stamina give you 10 times more chances to spin right. Spending 10 times more keys give you 10 times more chances to get the right reward.
That eventually builds up:
10 times more right spins give you 10 times more chances of having keys/cases in the wild.
10 times more cases/keys give you 10 times more chances of having radars.
10 times more radars give you 10 times more chances to spin right.
Rinse, repeat.
As I said before: You need to find a delicate balance between overhoarding resources and overspending them.
Also, the card itself is not really the best one out there (in fact is the second worst Moe card in current Nutaku PPS, just barely above Mayuko Abe).
The thing is that as a F2Per you can't afford to just Meh one card if it's within your abilities to get it. The P2P/F2P gap is big enough (and expanding) without self-sabotage.
As I said in the chat a couple hours ago: You (I'm not finger pointing anybody in particular here) need to learn how to approximately calculate an accurate standing for yourself in the upcoming event, and just stick to it.
That's what I do in PPS: When the event is announced, I make a guesstimate of how well I'll do; then, when the event starts, I make a better one, and I also guesstimate which prizes/rewards I'll be capable of getting. Then, I make sure I do.
For example, as somebody that normally ranks in the Top150~250 range, and with good stockpiles of namins from last event, I decided I would be able to get rewards for Top500 and 200 locs, but was skeptical of getting the 50k SR... So, I simply said: If I push for 3.6k bouquets a day, I'll get that card by last day. I never even thought about getting any higher reward. Then, I aggresively consumed all my half namins for the first two days. As such, I'd be able to get a good idea of the feasibility of my goal, while not throwing away all my resources (not even touching my full namins). By end of 1st Phase I was almost 2 days ahead of schedule.
Right now, I'm pretty close to ending today with the card in my power.
Last event, even after they fixed the amounts, I calculated from the start I would need to throw absolutely everything I had to get Kanae, and even then it wouldn't be a sure thing, so I decided it wouldn't be worth it, and spent all my normal resources (regen focus/sta) into spawning Airu for other people, or helping with Tomokos for lower leveled friends.

For example (and this is directly for you lolix): Why in the 9 circles of hell have you stockpiled your radars? As a F2P there is no conceivable way you'll ever reach Top50, and any betterment to rewards by having double resources in the next PeroGamble won't even make a difference of over 15% on the quality of such...
You'll get, what, 10 more SR levels from being Top100 instead of Top300? Get 10 more WCs from one-time rewards?
Those are pretty much the same amount of rewards you've lost in this event for not pushing hard enough, and ending below Top500.
If you had used those when the loc costs were lower, you'd have gotten more cases/keys to refill your resources, and you'd be closer to the 50k goal.
