also to add insult, this game got a military simulation tag? seriously? they are students not soldiers, the proof is they got a terrain preference in order to fight decently. grunts don't have that luxury, since we get deployed in different places and can't choose where to fight.

I'm completely F2P and I managed to not only complete the entire story, but also get a lot of good students in the game by simply grinding. You can get a lot of pyroxene in a lot of different ways. Reading is one of the best, just by going through either relationship stories or the main story, side stories and whatever else may be, you can get about 40 pyroxene for every episode. By 3-starring whole areas in the missions section, you get a bonus 200 pyroxene. Also, by completing a certain number of tasks, you can get a student and 1200 pyroxene (That's how I got Nonomi and Hina lol). This game's rates can be bad, but it's way better than other gacha games, and the pity system means that I can get the students that I want in an event eventually (Literally how I got NY Fuuka and Kayoko). Never spent a cent on this game.

Bro, Supercell games are more P2W
