Q & A

What are the three main types of teams mentioned in the script?

The three main types of teams are Aron-based teams, Faal follow-up premium teams, and Firefly premium teams.

Why is Firefly considered a cheaper team to run compared to the others?

Firefly teams are considered cheaper because many of their top characters rely on limited or multiple Eidolon characters, making them less expensive compared to other high-end teams.

What is the biggest opportunity for monetization according to the script?

The biggest opportunity for monetization is creating a limited five-star Harmony MC (Main Character), which would appeal to players because Harmony MC is a free character with a lot of potential for monetization.

What makes Harmony MC appealing for future sales plans?

Harmony MC offers a unique 'super break' mechanic, which is essential for Firefly teams. By creating a premium version of Harmony MC with enhanced abilities, the company could easily sell this upgrade to players.

How could the 'super break' mechanic be expanded in the future?

The company could introduce more DPS characters with super break mechanics or release a five-star limited version of Harmony MC with multipliers or enhanced super break abilities.

What is one way Firefly's longevity could be sustained in the game?

One way to sustain Firefly's longevity is by introducing dual DPS characters who can work together with Firefly in a super break team, extending her relevance and ensuring better performance in future reruns.

What issue does the character Runme face in break-oriented teams?

Runme's break extension can be counterproductive for teams focused on the initial break effect, as it prolongs the duration instead of enhancing immediate break damage. This makes her less effective for teams relying on instant break damage.

What is the concept of 'double break' and how could it impact the game?

The concept of 'double break' involves allowing enemies to be broken twice, potentially using a weaker secondary toughness bar after the initial break. Introducing a character with this ability could revolutionize break strategies in the game.

How does the super break mechanic differ from normal break in the context of Runme's abilities?

Super break extends the breaking effect over time, which aligns well with Runme's abilities. However, for teams focused on the immediate impact of breaking an enemy, Runme's abilities might be less effective.

What are the potential challenges in introducing new mechanics like 'double break'?

Introducing 'double break' would require balancing the current game mechanics and potentially changing the strategies players use. It also poses the challenge of integrating this new system without overshadowing existing characters and abilities.
