#Exchanging for Emas

There's an exchange system for most other items; giving players the ability to exchange for Emas would be a worthwhile addition. I think the way this could work is by exchanging a certain number of duplicate Friends. Since Emas are meant to be rare, I think a good number would be 100. At the regular prayer rate (5% chance of rolling a Friend), this would require 2,000 Prayers (10,000 Seal Crystals and 3,000,000 Coins). God Crystal prayers can bring this down, especially with Step-Up prayers and the occasional discounted Prayer, but it would still take a while to reach that number. Regardless, the dev team can set the number at whatever they feel is appropriate.

Obviously this wouldn't work if player were required to hold all the dupes in the Friends tab, so there could be a new tab on the Prayers tab where players could add the dupes, and it would slowly build up to the number needed. Another stipulation could be that players cannot add a brand new Friend to this exchange, i.e., if a player has never rolled Mokou before, they cannot add the first Mokou they roll to this exchange.

This wouldn't replace selling dupes; players could still sell any Friends (including brand new ones) for coins, spirit points, and tokens. However, they would not be able to sell them AND add them to the exchange pool. They would have to choose.

Basically 1k tokens for an ema

Not quite. Using tokens for the exchange would allow players to sell Story Cards to reach the required number, and that would drastically cut the required number of Prayers to get the Ema. Every Prayer produces at least 1 token, and there is no player so unlucky that they would have 1000 consecutive Prayers result in 3-star Story Cards.

to sum it up
you need to obtain "100" duplicate friend right?
the thing im concerned about is, well, by the time you've reach that 100 friend threshold, you've already gotten all of the available friend in exchange ema, and by that point exchange ema is worthless

#

i have played for around a month at this point
minus all the duplicate spent on limit breaking, i have 7 duplicate
and already have owned half of the exchange ema cast
by the time i reach 100, i would have to be extremely unlucky to not own all of them at that point

#

they honestly should just shove it somewhere in scarlet tower

thats why i think 1k tokens also could make sense

yeah, token shop is lacking in its conents, outside of cubes nothings really worth it, putting emas there would give them even more purpose (either awaken units or buy emas for a friend) and would make sense (didnt get a gen friend you want for so long, get it by saving tokens you get from dupes and useless cards)

It's true that you'll pick up a lot of new Friends through rolling when you start out, but once you get to the point where there's only a few Friends left, it becomes more difficult to get those last few.

I've been playing since the week the game was released, and there are 4 standard prayer Friends I have not rolled yet (not including Kagerou and Wakasagihime, since they haven't been added to the general pool yet).

Conversely, I have rolled about a dozen copies of Reimu and Marisa each, not including the copies given out at the beginning of the game. Those first 4 copies were useful for MLBing, but I've sold the rest.

People use tokens for awakening which is much better used for strengthening the units, you need 200 tokens to max awaken a unit. Spending 1000 tokens, which means spending materials to max awaken 5 units, possibly UFES etc, to get a gen unit, while there are only a few decent ones of them and still need tokens to be maxed and dupes/dolls to MLB. Seems fair to put it for such actually high price in a shop. Also, the more you play, the more chances you already got a decent gen unit, at that point ema is basically for vanity to get a favorite friend. Devs want many things just as we do and thinking of what they might think doesn't mean they really do and that their mind can't be changed with a sensible suggestion. Especially since their for example SDT rewards are more set than token shop so there's actually much less chance of getting this stuff or any other new stuff in SDT than kinda abandoned token shop

doesnt discard the fact that that way one can use 5 decent characters worth of awakening for a gen unit thats always accessible and doesnt have any festivals going on
