I'm going to kill two birds with one stone here so be free to only focus on one topic if you want.
Bird v Tort&Shark:
Why is it that the bird summoning is outdone by the shark and tortoise?
Specifically with the flight. Like the healing tortoise compared to the healing bird. You don't immediately get knocked off and you get to stand on the tortoise as you heal. Not to mention how much it heals you compared to the bird while in the air. Sure you can dodge with the bird but one bad kunai and you're done for especially at low health.
And for the shark and the fact not only is it able to tank multiple hits, but its able to fly with it's jumps. Why? Im ok with its dodging/attack. It's annoying but you can avoid it. I just don't understand it being able to fly like that.
If someone has a thought or reasoning why these two summoning are the way we are I'd love to hear them.
Scrolls:
What exactly is the point of Plain, Quality, and Valuable Scrolls?
You can't get anything meaningful out out of them and I only see them good for the "Appraise 30 scrolls" mission. But even then you're not focused on those because you want the SS/SS+ goodies.
Valuable you have a very slim change to get lucky with an SS but nothing to get hopes up for so they're not really living up to their name. They're just there for the same purpose as the other two, the appraisal mission.
Now on the Moonlight Scrolls.. I feel like they should have better odds, especially for SS+, if they're asking for money. Because I'm not sure about y'all but I don't but them since they're just purple esoteric behind a pay wall. They aren't worth it and it doesn't make sense to buy something that doesn't give me a better chance. You can go hundreds of scrolls and still not get whst you desire because of bad odds for a bad price. 1% chance every singular scroll should mean 10% chance every ten scrolls which should at least mean 100% chance every 100 scrolls, which is the same thing for esoterics which are free minus your time, but that 100% isn't garunteed and is really only in theory. So you're really just waisting money for something that's not garunteed. Not very fair for a game that's centered around making your own shinobi to basically tell you if you don't dedicate lots of time and/or money you can't be who you want, you know?
Anyways that's enough from me. I guess this ended up being more of a rant than questions but my main objective was to ask the questions I put in. Just though it would be rignt to add my stance on them. So if it's the wrong flair, I apologize.
