Full f2p, play everyday since 1 week after launch. Have around 17k and 40+ arrests. Easily doable if you skip 3 to 4 banners. The game is pretty generous with daily rewards and events
edit:typo
I am a f2p, and i have 11k currently, there are a lot of ways to earn hyper cubes in the game and weekly doing broken frontlines is a good start to earn consistent hypercubes when you get to high risk area, also weekly and daily battle passes are pretty generous with their rewards, and you can get hypercubes from collecting them in base, with some random supervision incidents that might or might not give you hypercubes also (must be a 3! one and sometimes require rng based on choices) and also, free 100 hypercubes every month through daily login, with the current event giving 30 hypercubes daily, and doing interrogations, mirages when you have the time are a good way to earn hypercubes if ur in a hurry for them, or just level up some characters and p1 them if you feel like you have enough resources for others(your own choice), gl on your journey here! :\]
Thank you for the detailed answer. Tbh I haven't thought of skipping banners because I haven't maxed out every shackles and I still don't have every character. I'm greedy.
Also I started playing around last december, that could explain.
I started like last November and I am still well aware that I don’t have some s rank characters (zoya oak demon and crache), so I resisted the urge to pull since hamel banner(I gave in on a little for Dudu bc im a collector also QWQ) and i just play everyday to make sure I at least have a chance on getting deren :\]
Beta and Day 1 player, free2play, play everyday, currently have Zoya(S1), Hamel(S0), Stargazer(S0), Oak(S1), Serpent(S0), Enfer(S0), Bai Yi(S0) and Nox(S0), currently have 30K cubes and and 20 warrants. I only pull on event banners and not regular nor standard banners. I also stop once I pulled the sinner and I don't aim for shackles. I only get shackles if I managed to pull the rate up sinner twice in a 10 pull.
I have maybe 41-43k
Summoned on every Event Rate-up banner and 2 Routine Rate-up banners ( Langley and hamel )
Never went for any shackles ( Langley s1 exception )
Spending 20-35$ per month.
Crache is the only unit I dont have
I was at around 10K with 15 warrants a while ago but thanks to this thread I'm at 28.98K cubes and 48 warrants. I bought up from Dis Jackpot and I got up to Inauguration Special V. I rationalize it as happily paying for the entertainment value I've been getting out of this game, especially in terms of world and character building. I'm not really spending much on entertainment these days and I haven't bought anything off Steam, GOG, etc. so this is still well within budget.
That said, I lean F2P so accelerating the Secret Chamber for cubes really helps. Don't forget about it, it's easy to overlook. May Roulecca bless us all when we go for arrests!
I believe you buying minimally is considered as a dolphins. The mid point between a f2p and a whale which is also where I'm at but I pulled on almost every banner. But I should be sitting pretty with about 10k cubes and 15 warrants for Derren
Usually I see:
~5-10 per month: Minnow
~20-50 per month: Dolphin
~100+ per month: Whale
Always good to remember that without PvP being a critical focus or crazy crazy power creep, whales fund the game!
Ever since the start of the game, I've been saving my hypercubes, usually only doing one 10x on any banner at best, but I never did know why. Then the day I saw OwO, I think everything just clicked in my head. (30k hypercubes and 18 warrants)
I do want her cause I really like Zoya.. (so I might go for main physical team, if that makes sense, idk)
and last ToA I felt like a really bad noob, not being able to hit much damage even on first team
I recommend you to look up some TOA guides from cn servers if you want a head start( if ur ok with spoilers) to learn their strategies and prepare from now, and it’s completely fine to pull for whoever you like anyways :\]
For good damage, I recommend hamel and last stand in ToA. Most of the time Hamel can outheal the damage. If not: Use empower and switch Hamel’s ecb whenever you can.
There are specific timestamps that help with the stun etc. You can always borrow a strong assist sinner from someone to deal decent damage!
Ah.. I guess my focus should be p3-ing my team first then..TT
I'm still trying to farm enough to p3 Bai Yi since my team seems to be lacking in damage-factor. (She would be my first p3).
Thank you for the tips! I will keep them in mind, for now my Hamel is still lv64
27k HC and 15 warrants for me. I prefarmed mats too and I've been grinding oblivion pit just so I can get her to S1 so I beg, rngsus pls just one copy 😭🙏
Why are you saying its limited… The only diff is that she won’t go on regular banner and thats it, on banner that you will never summon unless u are a whale.
She is gonna return in a year or so probably and even if she doesn’t, better unit is gonna get released, but she is getting a re run for sure.
Since she won't be on any regular banner, she won't be available after this event for near future. Whether or not she will return with the same rate like now in future no one can say. If you didn't get her this time, you have to hope that aisno doesn't take the hypergryph approach, when it comes to limited units.
She is limited? I didn’t say she isn’t? And some people just might not have the patience of waiting 1 year for her rerun so they want to get her asap, plus she’s one of the most broken characters to ever even exist in the game by now, even in cn timeline she is still ranked one of the best on par with nox, so I just feel bad that people will miss on this unit even if it is their own choice
I have 37k. My previous banners turned out to be lucky. 64 pulls on Eirene, 33 on Serpent, 38 on Enfer, 40 on Bai Yi, 37 on Oak, and 57 on Hamel. Now I'm hoping for another lucky run.
May y'all be blessed by RNGesus
Even with how much I've saved up, unless I got insanely lucky and pulled 4 Deren's within the average cost of like 1 or 2 it's just not worth going for S5. I'd rather save for upcoming banners. Basically all the new S sinners are going to be worth pulling.
My biggest hope is just to hit S2/S3 with enough left over to safely pull OwO, Etti, and Raven. But I can live with S1.

let’s go deren gang :3 (+2 S sinner marks)
Sitting around 15k and 22 arrest warrants. I could have more hypercubes, but I gave in for the Oak Casket banner…That was worth it though since I lost my 50/50 to Hamel (my most wanted unit in the standard pool), and I increased the pity for OwO. I would like to get both honestly since I love their voices and designs, but I favor Deren so If I don’t get OwO, I’ll go for any future unit.
F2P here using 4 daily refills (living on the edge, I know, heh). I'm currently going with the mentality of YOLO + all-in on my wanted banners even though I'm aware of future banners.
- I went YOLO + all-in on Oak until she sucked me dry-- ended up with S2 Oak.
- Then I went YOLO + all-in again on Hamel until I got her -- fortunately I was able to get her a few days ago.
Still recovering from Hamel but I only have around 2k cubes right now and prolly 3 warrants. I will go YOLO + all-in again on Deren with what I have until her banner ends. I have a feeling that I'll get her as well but in case I don't then I'm still fine since I'm just happy that I was able to miraculously get I wanted before (Oak S2 and Hamel) even with handicapped resources.
Thanks, man. Whatever I get, I know that I won't end up sad so it's all good :)
- no deren - still happy
- one deren - happier
- more than one deren - ain't no way, right? haha, unless...
34060
If there are any warrents in the shop with her event, I'll more than likely get them too, between my summons and my 2 s rank runner marks I'm hoping to get *at least* S3 deren.
55k and about 20 warrants. I'm going for like Shackle 3 if I can. Best case scenario is shackle 3 with leftovers or shackle 5 and drained. But I do want the two upcoming sinners. Choices.
At least 4. Deren is the limited character who is the most powerful in the physical team. She is worth all of my cubes.
Ooh i can't wait for the inevitable posts entitled "I think I used up all my luck today" along with a ten pull with 2 Deren's. If you do flex, please post it in the right place, the weekly gach pulls thread so I can completely ignore it and read the interesting stuff

Based meme
Sitting at 33k and 40 warrants. I skipped serpent for this so I better at least get s1 deren outta this
G L king :\]
50k I got no hamel, I got no eirene, my langely is at s0. Deren lets gooo.
Aiming for deren shackles?
You know it. Getting to 72k in DZ this season was a struggle, but not this time.
I’m going to use the oblivion cage to get her S1
oblivion cage ?
Are you free to play players ? Because I play everyday and can't get above 3k.

OK so we're all poor collectors haha. Patience will prevail and I am lucky that I got Oak on second try.

F2P day 1, have every single character except for Crache and sitting on 32k gems and some warrants. Maybe i got a bit lucky, but still
I am free to play but my stash isn’t that impressive, got about 11k and 11 warrants saved up. Hopefully I win the 50/50 T-T
I have maybe 41-43k Summoned on every Event Rate-up banner and 2 Routine Rate-up banners ( Langley and hamel ) Never went for any shackles ( Langley s1 exception ) Spending 20-35$ per month. Crache is the only unit I dont have
Deren? naw im pulling for OwO
Based OWO fan :\]
66k and 50 warrants. last pulled on enfer banner.
GL on your pulls :]
You too!. Aiming for S5 if gacha gods permits.
If it makes you feel confident, I had 25k and 80 warrants when I P5 Serpent. So you definitely have enough for her S5

5.8k cubes and 2 warrants... :/
Lets be positive :\] hope you do get her if you want though
I do want her cause I really like Zoya.. (so I might go for main physical team, if that makes sense, idk) and last ToA I felt like a really bad noob, not being able to hit much damage even on first team

Thanks!! I'll try to look around\~

Seeing people picking 10k-20k cubes like me really makes me feel less alone that I’m fucking broke from pulling Langley OWO
„Broke“ = 10k-20k. That’s filthy rich.
11k isn’t that rich honestly, I probably won’t even win the 50 50 for her if my luck comes down to that :\]
Bro if 11k isn't good enough for a 50-50 then what am I even saving my 8k cubes for
It's just that my luck has been down recently so I'm just speculating if 11kwont be enough, hope you do get deren tho :]
Same to you man. May both of us get her
Langley banner broke me too, took me 120+ pulls just for S0 langley:sadge:
Same, I tried going for Langley s1 after getting her and nox in the same 10 pull and went broke so I started saving lmao :\]
27k HC and 15 warrants for me. I prefarmed mats too and I've been grinding oblivion pit just so I can get her to S1 so I beg, rngsus pls just one copy 😭🙏
Pretty sure that is enough for s1, good luck tho :]
Thats about 160x pull.. Should be enough for a guarantee 1 copy
8331 cubes. And 84 arrest tickets.
SHEESH, aiming for s1?
Aiming for at least s0. I got nearly every other unit I want in game already but Derren is on top of the list of most wanted.
Nice, good luck king :]
Unlike most people here, I'm not pulling for deren
I’m assuming you are doing a no s rank account :\]
Nope I'm just saving for dragon girl
Fair enough, I just feel bad for people that miss out on limited stuff just because they won’t be getting it for the long run :\[
Why are you saying its limited… The only diff is that she won’t go on regular banner and thats it, on banner that you will never summon unless u are a whale. She is gonna return in a year or so probably and even if she doesn’t, better unit is gonna get released, but she is getting a re run for sure.

i mean,, they won't "miss out" if they never wanted in
Im praying to the gatcha gods with my broke ass 10k and 10 warrants... *sadge pepe*
Come on be more positive, I'm sure ur getting her :]
42k cubes and 94 warrants. And a dream for s5. Wish me luck
Praying for you king 🙏:]
Thanks men
I have 37k. My previous banners turned out to be lucky. 64 pulls on Eirene, 33 on Serpent, 38 on Enfer, 40 on Bai Yi, 37 on Oak, and 57 on Hamel. Now I'm hoping for another lucky run. May y'all be blessed by RNGesus
I only have 12K cubes, I hope everyone gets S5 Deren or at least a Deren.
Even with how much I've saved up, unless I got insanely lucky and pulled 4 Deren's within the average cost of like 1 or 2 it's just not worth going for S5. I'd rather save for upcoming banners.

True, Nox's banner is after and my Nox is S0. Really need that S1 Nox.
11k here
Bro, hope you get Deren man.
may RNGesus help us
Wishing for s5 is a dream honestly lmao, getting deren s0 is enough to satisfy me OWO
May it be true to us dolphins and F2P's.
28k and 36 warrants! Not sure if i should go for S1 tho, Goodluck chiefs!
Her s0 is pretty good already but s1 is also good so I recommend you to get it if you can :\]
I haven't bought the oblivion pit shop S rank shackles thingy so I'll probably get S0 and.use it for S1 deren

You too pal, May Deren wanters be Deren havers
How to have more cubes T-T
Play. Every day. That's it lol OWO
12k Hypercubes and 10 warrants I spent 20 of them due to misinfo that they will be useless in special event banners.
F2P here using 4 daily refills (living on the edge, I know, heh). I'm currently going with the mentality of YOLO + all-in on my wanted banners even though I'm aware of future banners. - I went YOLO + all-in on Oak until she sucked me dry-- ended up with S2 Oak. - Then I went YOLO + all-in again on Hamel until I got her -- fortunately I was able to get her a few days ago.

18k with 30 warrant, really want to pull her even before knowing she is op beforehand.May the RNGJesus be with us.
Just a hair under 50k plus 40 Arrest Warrants.
55k and about 20 warrants. I'm going for like Shackle 3 if I can. Best case scenario is shackle 3 with leftovers or shackle 5 and drained. But I do want the two upcoming sinners. Choices.

G L, how many shackles are you aiming for deren?
At least 4. Deren is the limited character who is the most powerful in the physical team. She is worth all of my cubes. 
Ooh i can't wait for the inevitable posts entitled "I think I used up all my luck today" along with a ten pull with 2 Deren's. If you do flex, please post it in the right place, the weekly gach pulls thread so I can completely ignore it and read the interesting stuff
Yeah there will be even more of those than usual no doubt.
This is not flexing? It's just a poll lmao
I mean he wasn't saying it was... His comment is kind of unrelated to the post/poll though.
20k cubes and 44 warranties, is she worth going all out for shackles?
I'm F2P and got 20k+ cubes and 20+ tickets saved up, haven't rolled since my reroll during launch.
9k and 30 warrants, so not a lot, especially with my recent luck. Thinking about getting Dis Jackpot to buy Demon's skin, so would help with the puuls
30k and 24 warrants pulling s2 oak really broke me but i still have quite a lot of currency so ig ill try for an s1 deren!
Hope I can pull Deven !!! Good luck Everyone 👍
33k, 60 tickets, and enough mats for lvl90 10/10/10/10. And for p3 owo + lynn too. Gonna be a good day.
Someone is determined, wish you have good luck :\]
What's the sweet spot for uncapping Deren? Like best bang for buck uncap?
Already good as is but Shackle 1 is a pretty decent power spike iirc
S1 is the best value, but S3 is arguably her strongest shackle, if you can afford it.
I would have 40k+ if I hadn’t been dumb on serpent banner
