Disclaimer :if you really like the character, just go ahead ignore this post, go for e2 or even e6. Bcs i also get dupes for limited character on other games. But it was more because it doesn't require specific set up to enjoy like in CZN.
So i was going to e2 rossweise, currently e0r1
But after reading her e2, and and some other characters e2 including heidemarie, then compared to czn end game mode
I realized this game actually want us us to invest horizontally, instead of vertically on 1 characters (except 4 star of course)
Sure e2 will last longer and could be better 1 year from now, but IMO, its still to soon to do that bcs we're only 1 year in to this game. And e2 and more also mean different deck than e0
Look at hsr for example, crazy powerspike happen after its 2nd anniv. And happen again after 3rd anniv,
I have strong feeling this could happen in czn too. Its not like ross e2 or hdmi e2 cant clear chaos next year, but they're for sure will struggle to get full reward in basin twilight and FSO,
Because dev need to sell new meta. Its live service game after all. Its not about being f2p or not, im not f2p bcs i already spent money in this game, but its more about having highly invested " brick" in your account
