tell me one f2p with a full team of monarchs bro 🥀
alright
i can give u a few of my friends users rn
its not rare to have considering the amount of rerolls u get
zSvoler
even if people dont have one now
its an arising issue that'll become a big issue in the future
kinda like als but not nearly as bad
so because everyone can get the trait its bad thing?
im saying from a perspective if u have 4 monarchs in ur team and a new upd comes out
are u gonna use the units if u dont get monarch on them aswell
you do know the units do more things than just damage right?
yes clearly go look at 99% of av players rn
they dont
I wasn't asking the players
bc cid is horrible since he doesnt do crazy braindead damage
The thing is that theres not a lot of units that are bad with monarch (even ragna is decent with one, if at least we consider ragna as decent)
Well i thought monarch was balanced around the fact that it was really rare, having multiple monarchs makes the already pretty easy game into a babies game.
exactly
Double the cost 
how does rarity balance a power boost? that just makes it more p2w if anything
unique or "monarch" was always a p2w trait
thats why it worked in aa so well bc it was so p2w
it doesnt work as well in a game as f2p as av
I was just echoing what i heard from a tester a while back
I fail to see how the p2w is a good thing
exactly
thats why i made this suggestion
a p2w trait doesnt work in a f2p game
I don’t really fw traits in general 
its unbalanced horrible
I KNOW
if they'
are done right
its fine
so, monarch is too easy to get so it should be nerfed, because it would be too hard to get on new units therefore you would never use new units.
Doubt they would ever change traits tho
Do you see my confusion with this whole argument?
Ive never seen one game that does traits right 💔
awtd does it good
How good
if u get sjw gogeta rom and ran all monarchh
right
Wouldn’t say its good
and the next update comes out
with good units
ur never gonna use them on ur team unless they either have monarch, or ur playing a gamemode where traits are disabled
so many youtubers have addressed their concern with this
I like how nobody ever acknowledges that the damage part isn’t usually the problem with the trait’s strength and gogeta is the only unit that actually really benefits because he’s a one place
but none of them care
but if monarch is as easy to get as you say, why wouldn't you just get monarchs on the new units....
when did i say it was easy
and if its too hard to get on the new units, then that voids the first half of what you said
its all rng based thats the point of the issue there's no telling when or what ur gonna get
and when u do get it
its horribly balanced
Huh
Gogeta has the problem the worst, sure he is usable without but completely poinltess to spend 200k to max him without Monarch
he costs 200k?????
Yeah i don’t know what poster is talking about
So because you correctly invested your resources and went all in on strong units, you should be punished by us nerfing monarch to make you want to use the new units? Wouldn't you still just prefer the stronger units anyways?
yeah i dont think ur reading this correctly
I think the point they tried to make was “I got monarch on my last update units, and they’re gonna be better than the next update units if I don’t get monarch on the next update units, this is bad design”
Yea around there
kinda
except for the fact
people only go for monarch on meta units
with monarch they are useable for like who knows how many updates
What if most every unit that releases is meta though….
No one will be...
So what im hearing is we should have way more powercreep to incentivize people using the new units?
Maybe they aren’t meta because of monarch but because they have strong kits…
ur going backwars now
That doesn’t sound backwards to me
no its 100% the monarch
No, no it’s not really.
I think this suggestion would be better if it was "make units like ragna"
if nerfing monarch means rescaling content would that not mean it would decrease the powercreep
It’s just that monarch shines in short form content because of its cost efficiency
Since when is content designed around monarch?
If you had unlimited yen in every stage, monarch would more often than not just be a worse outcome
since its the main thing everyone in the game aims for
If Monarch wasnt the best and intended by design, more units would experiment with placement above 3 
I mean, even 3 placements tend to lose out to eth/deadeye now
my point is they could have been way more creative with their trait system
Monarch’s biggest strength is the cost efficiency
Your right, but the game launched as an AA reboot and the traits are direct reflection of that.
Because very rarely will you have a mode that’s long enough to make use of all your placements
i know i said that earlier
it worked in aa purely bc of how p2w it was
Also there’s literally no way to nerf traits at this point
is this game anywhere near as p2w
Without causing a huge uproar in the community
Yea its far too late for that
yes im just adressing what so many other people have wanted to
Because people spent money and/or grinded for those traits, so if they were nerfed in any way, it would end up being a terrible move
yeah i just wish they put more thought into it
trait systems ruin games
Which sucks, because it’d be nice to have them a little closer together or maybe make monarch one of those placement scaling traits, because it means 1 placement units have to be very thought about because monarch just makes them absurd
Please just delete ts
Case in point, gogeta
thats exactly what i was aiming for
But there’s no way to rework it by now.
kinda like sovereign in apd
oh be quiet go to bed
Buddy it's 11 pm what are you talking about
Units are still generally good with or without monarch because of the way their kits function, anyways
I ain't the one making an ass suggestion
it aint ass its brought up a good discussion
And the strength comes less from the damage buff itself but more about condensing the damage into a unit that costs a third or quarter as much as usual
katakuri, dante, vsjw
I mean, if you’re looking at units in a vacuum, a vast majority of them are better without
But there are circumstances where the condensed damage is just better. Like Yamamoto or vsjw if you wanna play around elite summons
And also just… Every progressive stage lol
but 90%$ of this community just want to place units and be done with the stage
Actually comical that the RNG trait is becoming the best over time (Deadeye)
Yen makes the gameplay go round
yes f2p 🥀
I’m level 235 f2p I don’t have a single monarch
So I’ve read a bit and I think I’m understanding the “point” you are trying to make however i feel like you are pretty bias because having a monarch unit doesn’t mean you can’t use any new released units, with that logic, since I have gotten Toji and sukuna monarch back when they got released I should be still using them above anything else because “Monarch is too op to try anything else” but, you are missing one of the most if not the most important part of the unit, the passive, you could have monarch saiko would you use her instead of cid ? Or if you have monarch sasuke would you use him instead of katakuri ? Monarch doesn’t do everything, sometimes even with monarch the dps isn’t good or worth it or it’s the passive that’s lacking, those people who are doing the “not using if not monarch” are usually heavy p2w players with a lot of monarchs because they have “unlimited” robux (Nagblox) and even him use different units based on the passive when needed even so he has around 30 monarch and yes he would go for monarch on every units he wants / needs because he can, monarch makes obviously progressing easier but passives are at least as much important
Enjoy the yapping 
🥀
Ayo read it, at least 3 person or I wasted my time typing it ahaha
(Btw more units are getting released without needing monarch to perform well or be optimal, Virgil Dante, Ragna…)
I prefer monarch seiko than cid tbh lmao
Damn poor cid
I can say it cause i actually have monarch seiko 💔
If cid didn’t lose his buffs on swap he’ll be really good Ngl
Oh, i feel sorry for you now
It has her niche for worldline but traitless lancer is far better unbound
That would make him op
He is alr in a good state
I think he’s still very good, he’s in my current team
Okay, never used her once despite having 16 or 20 saiko, i should have evo’ed at least 1 tho
I rolled on okarun back in the days, kinda regret it
Okarun released in such a bad state, hes prob the worst curse unit in the game
I will say it can seem like there are a lot of rrs being given out but at the same time monarch is a .1% chance or at least it’s 1/1000 and even if you spend 1000 you’re not guaranteed to get a monarch and I have monarch sukuna but I use other units because he’s not actually that good unless I don’t feel like farming for the stage I don’t use him often and the whole point about the game is to use the units you like but yeah sure sometimes you have to use a different unit for a certain stage but for the most part you can play how ever you want to play and I’m still playing waiting for updates from my anime’s jjba and naruto and when those updates do come out I’m gonna get the units shiny and hopefully save enough rrs for a monarch. One thing this game does really well is not power creep super heavy sure sometimes units are better than others but it allows you to use your favorite units. Monarch isn’t necessary but it sure does make progression easier
My shiny ethereal is crying rn, but Yeah not a lot of units where good during that update, I’m glad
The av team changed since then
Oh the shiny is fire tho
Yeah I like it too, not having power creep often, makes the grind worth knowing I’m not wasting my time grinding just to throw the unit away 2 weeks after when a new and better one gets released
Yeah pretty Nice, only good thing about the unit
this suggestion completely ignored the fact that the devs made TRAITLESS gamemodes
i don’t even see the real argument honestly, as long as we don’t get units that literally require monarch every single update to be meta that would be fine. Though even now deadeye is the best trait for dps regardless and monarch is just a money reduction factor almost always
react to chair
and monarch is fine the way as it is
its not needed on every unit to deal good dmg
🪑
Literally got a f2p battle pass unit that out can potentially out dps monarch gogeta with ethereal/deadeye, and got another battle pass unit that hits top 3 with deadeye 💔
i got 11 Monarchs as basically a F2P
since none of my Monarchs was reliable on pity or robux bundles
i only bought battlepasses who only got me Shiny Units, bc the Rerolls barely got me Solar sometimes
well that means you are not f2p then
eh
ayo don't steal my name 
i still think Monarch as a must have is kinda bad
bc i miss 5-6 placement units
Cha-In was the only Mythic+ with 5 placements
I wouldn’t really say it’s a must have though honestly
Deadeye Cid out performs monarch Cid in terms of overall dps in infinite even if you don’t use his ability, deadeye dante out performs, deadeye vergil majorly out performs now that his doppel is fixed, deadeye vsjw out performs monarch in some modes, lowkey don’t even see the problem
Gogeta was realistically the only unit that 100% required monarch
Fr like where did they go
They gotta add more
They talked on stage about adding a lot more units that weren’t monarch exclusive, but then again bro also said “you guys have dante” etc when we meant like ragna 💀
Yeah would be nice to get more units like Choy that function on having more placements for dps
Rather than just go get monarch on everything
Or make them mega cheap at least so the point monarch don’t even matter compared to other traits dps 💔
That also sounds cool
Cheap but high placement
We got ichigo for cheap but the cost is sad
Rem and ram was good
Yeah rem and ram was by far one of the best non monarch progressive units for a while
most ppl who have 4 monarchs have been playing since the winter upd most of the time so I don't rlly see the problem
ong
Dante Monarch with a good Birb outperforms Deadeye in any Mode.
Eth/Monarch Vergil with good Black Spirit outperforms Deadeye with a good Birb.
this guy gets it
Never Heard of Deadeye Cid being any good so idk what to say abt him
the only time that scaling is based around monarch is in tournaments or other modes that have a trait disabled mode to be w it
cid is better with monarch the argument here is still dunb
monarch shouldn't be nerfed or anything
All units are “better” for progression with monarch
Though dps is literally a different story except for placing limits almost
ok but cid's nuke and passives actually make him better with monarch he's like one of the few cases
The argument entirely is dumb
Trait scalling for tournaments is fine, i Heard of Traitless lb run
His passives don’t make him better as monarch, but his nuke yeah
but i think its NOT happening
I'm fine w that I'm saying that almost nothing that the average player is FORCED to do is locked to monarch cuz of scaling
No one is forced to get monarch fr 🥀
as in the swap bmg bonus for nuke
yea u can beat the game with ethereal units
my friends have before
you can literally beat act 1 cid raid with all rares and inumaki
it just takes 30 minutes but hey
we all want tho😭
yea CID raid is the only thing that may take monarch on hard mode
Yeah that’s the point 💔 You want monarch but it’s not needed
that and later legends stages but u can transfer now so
You won’t even want monarch if they nerf it or rework it
traits are just a horrible thing in the first place
only reason it’s here is bc this was originally an aa copy
As It goes, im not using new Units traitless, only If they are supports, i got so many good Monarchs that using new Units without a trait is pointless
Majority of units would have to be deleted if traits were removed because many of them are trait dependent
ik but the devs are creative who knows what they could do
obv it’s too late now
I don’t see any harm in traits considering in AA you could get roughly 600 rrs after a year probably, and in AV it takes a week
traits are only good if done well
AA also nuked their traits with double traits
And the fact you could get double unique on vegito
only reason unique was good is bc their game was super p2w
this game is way different
also, Unique Dps increase for 3 placements Units was bigger than Divine
As long as that’s not done with some obscure power scaling with needing monarch to be required to do anything it’s fine imo
I’ve been playing AV lately with traitless units regardless just because there has been no one i’ve wanted to roll on besides VSJW
I don’t get the real argument as a whole 💔
Since the last updates, Av has been working on the fact that the passive is the most important part of a unit. And not the blunt damage. That's why traits are not the most important thing in many cases. And since the game is very f2p friendly, you can easily get traits today anyway
Almost anyone can create an account and have a 50/50 chance of getting monarch with just the rerolls in shops alone
Deadeye outperforms Ethereal in most cases now, i think the game is getting in a good way
Yeah deadeye definitely out performs ethereal now, Bird is saving it heavily and I also think the game is getting in a more f2p direction not being as reliant on monarch
I currently only have a gripe with the familiar system
isnt that a good thing?
Yes
Though, there are arguments being held on this discord saying “monarch is too easy, nerf rrs overall or remove monarch” lol
Bad takes all around honestly
fr
this guy probably paid for stuff in AA and is upset av's equivalent to unique isn't that special

me 💔
ngl getting Monarch now is like a need
isnt a super fantastic moment like AA
Its just "wow, now this Unit has a good trait so i can start use it finally"
Cid ahh situation
Why do people say that
It really isnt
yeah
just don't understand why monarch should be changed
INDEED
thats not really what i was pointing towards
its more that the devs could have been more creative but ig its in the past too late for them to make any changes now
I wouldn't say that they could really make traits better
i will explain MY case
with all that, i kinda dont need to use the newest units, only If they got monarch/other situational good trait
like i genuinly only started using Cid after getting Monarch on him
otherwise i prob wont ever use him, only for tournaments

i have 7, my friend has 8, my other friend has 6
Indirect flex, but atp, to care for the game and discuss points in the suggestion section the minimum a Release player should have is something near me
game isnt based on monarchs
take katakuri for example
having solar on him is better than monarch
i played from release and have 7
but
i have 2300 rrs
saved
If you are a true F2P, its understandable
us
just vip and bp and can be considered f2p
and rarely bundles
p2w is for ppl that "whale"
thats only a few units tho
like spend huge amount of money or pay their way to win stuff
i classify bundles as p2w unless it is stricly cosmetic 🤷♂️
only a few units that will keep pouring
thats why i buy the bp
same with the units that u aim for monarch on
i was called whale by getting Vip and Bp
for the shiny
lol
bundles give like no rerolls apart from the 10k robux ones
which is considered p2w
so what would you suggest they rework monarch into?
as to not recieve backlash from the community
well yeah cus they make all the cheap bundles give like 500k gold and 0 rrs 💀
and a super cool nice skin
make Monarch do 500% dmg
not my job sorry bud
meh some of the skins are bad
so my Monarch Gyro Will be boosted
No? How is this trait even p2w
Majority of the best traits on units aren't even nonarch
like the casual skins i find underwhelming
you must have a slight idea tho right? its not like u can just say make the game better and give not the least idea as to how right?
i neva said the trait is p2w can u reread it i beg
i adressed the concern not how to fix it
when devs ask for unit ideas people give names
not full unit overviews
tl dr he says u need monarch on new units cuz u will just keep using monarchs u already have
thats it
no shit 💀
spot on
and needs to be reworked to not make them needed
but
80% of players have atleast a monarch
I dont see how they can change something ppl even spent money on
if i have the rarest trait on my unit why would i rather use a new unit without one 🙏
ive already said that
Oh wow saves time
That stage might give a huge debuff and better options?
thats why i save rerolls for the new units
but stand alone why would i rather use a new unit with no trait vs my monarch
exactlyt
thats my point
monarch does not need changing bro 🙏
thats how it works
same issue as in aa
it will fall off in a few updates
it cant stay meta forever
Like i said let's assume a stage is giving energy drain
And ur monarch isn't immune to energy drain
Or has sth like -50% dmg on that element
It's going to be common sense to use another unit
the rarest thing in the game should not be powercrept by a brand new unit
so u will be forced to get another one
never said it should be
ik, which makes this post even dumber
ur just in a fantasy now
hes a little right tho
i have full monarch team
i wont be using any guilty gear units unless i get monarch on them
but theres no fix to this now
new units just get dumped in the bin unless u get monarch on them or they have a gimmic which makes them better with deadeye or smth
thats right
i was just brightening the topic
And reworking ts js gonna annoy many ppl
ig only solution would be to add more traits that offer a wider range of variety?
like not stronger than monarch
like how celestial was
20% of dmg is converted to true
slow stuff
etc
just need a bit more strategy with unit building or smth
to help make units certain passives stronger
ur just making it harder to get monarch
it wouldnt change monarch
just add stuff
ur smart aren't u bud
u cant go more than 100%?
they have already confirmed to not be adding any new traits or changing previous ones
they said "at the moment"
where?
It will make it harder indeed but maybe for the better
in the qna summary
it doesnt matter, devs can go back on what they said at any time if its needed
for 15 waves, i bet u should be joking
they also said they wont be buffing or nerfing units from past update
idk i feel like traits are in a good spot right now
Yh for 15 waves btw
I'm talking about maximising damage obv
other than eth
i will spend more time to do an inf list, hold on
this kris guy actually has a brain
I mean i do feel the same but more useful trsitd would be better
But i do agree monarch most of times is the most cost effective trait
getting an ethereal is a stab in the heart just remove it from the game
at the end of the day its just our own opinions on ideal av
dont feel like arguing cus neither of us will change our opinion
idk ur basically speaking against making it more f2p
how
Yh we got different visions on what we want the game to be
So i feel we leave it like that
( image debunked)
Units like Dante and Vergil, with a good familiar can be used with monarch
Also Yhwach can be used with mon on inf mode
Choy is 1 Monarch and 3 Deadeyes for comp
Yh i agree but in most cases monarch isn't the best to maximise dmg
But sometimes monarch cab be better obv
monarch what
yeah
why?
i even thinked abt these imagens could help u question helpers
abt people always asking for Best trait on X unit
vegito is better with ethereal
we have this already
yea i forgot him
alu solar, boo monarch
ts is most for Lb application
cause no one is using Alucard with Eth since his blees tick got buffed
so is this
it was made by top players from previous seasons
and Buu can barely get kills for summon with DE
i ask frequently to top players and they change opinions
vegito ethereal
i still got him Deadeye anyway
ye i got it 🙏 😭
cus u can have 2 goku swaps for cc and a vegito for rupture
like most of DBZ Units would be better with Deadeye if you counting only DPS
like Goku
Understandable
