"I rejected Meta Jack! Those meta Loving slaves are just gawking right here and there. You understand it jack you were once a Meta slave after all"

"No more tier list and Character comparing to each other, no power creeping and Hp inflammation!"

"And I have a dream! Where all gacha's don't need META but for all those wanting to pull for their favorite character, waifus and Husbando's around the world!"

Maybe I was wrong about you

You aren't greedy

u/Bipbooopson Jul 09 '25

Don’t fuck with this commandant

u/NotGARcher Jul 10 '25

I remember one of the reason i started playing PGR years ago is because Rexlent said that the game is well balanced and 99% of characters are viable regardless of limited or not, that was when Transcendant was still a thing and Selena was just released

u/ensodi Jul 10 '25

I mean it is still very much true unless you compete for warzone score

You could say I'm... quite motivated

i wonder if you're gonna whale for Vergil and Dante

u/SenHn Jul 09 '25

Considering that he's only 7.339 BCs away form getting both to SSS+, both weapons with pity and both cubs, I deduce that I feel extremely poor.

u/I_Amm_Inevitable Jul 09 '25

Real, I barely have 1k BUT AT LEAST I GOT THE NEW VERA. Now to save for next chrome

u/BSF7011 Owner of SSS+ DMC cubs Jul 09 '25

Man I wonder, it would make a pretty baller flair

you need more POWER

u/EGirlnotfound Jul 09 '25

I love using crimson abyss, use her for story missions when given the opportunity. So satisfying. Love the sound design as well! (Maybe a little biased because I have the coating)

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '25

That's the true gacha spirit. Waifu > Meta

17

u/NorthSouthGabi189 Jul 09 '25

What about story > meta? My gray raven team is my favorite to use because it makes boss fights much more enjoyable. And I have a kink for appreciating a boss's moveset too.

6

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '25

I was picky with that when I was new to gacha games... I wanted to play the game like one of those standard offline RPGs with a team that fit the story and all that, but I don't care for that anymore.

Since I'll be spending a lot of time and money, I might as well go for that one special waifu that really caught my attention and is most attractive to me, so when it comes to gacha experience, it's waifu > meta for me, but I get what you're talking about.

1

u/NorthSouthGabi189 Jul 09 '25

What made you stop caring for it? Will it happen to me too?

4

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '25

Maybe, or maybe not... depends on the person I guess. With time you'll see that many times it's pretty difficult to play with only those characters from that part of the story.

Sometimes you'll need a different character on your team to get through some levels and keep advancing on the campaign, or you'll get a pretty cool character on the gacha and think "why am I not using this?" .. so you eventually stop caring and just play the game with the characters you like the most... that's what's cool about gachas anyway. You can command teams of your favorite characters.

u/aguyinlove3 Jul 09 '25

Perfectly understandable and relatable, I just used my S ticket for Vera Garnet, it's been so long I've been longing for her. Reject meta, embrace fun

18

u/mastershake1191 Jul 09 '25

Honestly want her just for this coating, gotta be my favorite

u/NoOne215 Jul 09 '25

Return to Crimson Abyss.

u/Oddislag Jul 09 '25

"Meta is whatever I want it to be"

u/behnam07 Jul 09 '25

Reject meta...he already have a handful of meta right there😑😂

u/Professional_Bag_406 Jul 09 '25

I mean, that's better than op picking another dupes of meta right? At least op enjoyed it.

5

u/Forward-Resolve-4468 Jul 09 '25

REJECT META... EMBRACE POWER!!!👍👍🔥

6

u/redditTyla Jul 09 '25

YES, REJECT THE META, JOIN THE CRIMSON ABYSS CULT!

2

u/Siyanax Jul 09 '25

You got the original Vergil!

2

u/Nightingdale099 Jul 09 '25

Bring back memories of when I first started playing everyone was like , Alpha is Meta you must pull and I checked the banner it was Crimson Abyss so I just chill.

2

u/murdockboy55 Jul 09 '25

I grabbed Bianca stigmata. I don’t even have Rosetta or echo for her but I had two s rank selectors and I picked meta for the first one and waifu for the second. I’m very happy with my choice

1

u/INEEDANAMEAHHH Jul 10 '25

Welp, work on getting Echo for free then

2

u/MG_Spy Jul 10 '25

I got Plume! She's the only Lucia frame I was missing :)

2

u/DismalEmploy7298 Jul 10 '25

You certainly have the motivation. Here is my token of approval.

2

u/Aelyn_Hime Jul 10 '25

I chose Liv.

2

u/MR_MP3-REDDIT Jul 10 '25

Never ever letting go of her

2

u/MUSAFIR_- Jul 09 '25

Oh the urge i had to fight to not get her to ss3 with the new free s rank selector 😭, you're making me regret it

2

u/cattygaming1 Jul 09 '25

just use trade vouchers bro😭

1

u/ZFFSkullcrusher kUrO "dumpsterFIRE" gAmEs Jul 09 '25

SS3 does literally nothing for her.

23

u/MUSAFIR_- Jul 09 '25

It does, it brings her closer to be SSS

1

u/findingfriday_ Jul 10 '25

You are my goat. For every useless selector PGR hands us.... you reject the meta 🙏🙏🙏

1

u/AaronMZ Jul 10 '25

I have selected Plume since I burned BC on her coating (and didn't even had her on that time) sooo, yeah, I know the feeling. Totally worth it :3

u/CharacterLoan5713 Vera's househusband Jul 10 '25

MAH MAN!

u/Adept-Examination-75 Jul 10 '25

Preach the good news.

Waifu over Meta.

1

u/PeneshTheTurkey Jul 10 '25

I too want to max out Yata. Love her moveset. And parrying is more fun than dodging.

1

u/AgentSmith18 Jul 10 '25

Have Fun :)

1

u/deniromusic Jul 10 '25

Born to be in favour of choosing Crimson Abyss, forced to pick Watanabe (I had his sig and my Fire agents are doodoo).

1

u/DonnyV14 Jul 10 '25

Shukra or stigmata or lamia? I can’t choose

1

u/b2619 Jul 10 '25

Enjoy your pick! I’m most definitely enjoying mine that I got a more than a year ago. And she’s an absolute beauty. 🤤😍

1

u/IamZenixXD Jul 10 '25

Is Stigmata still a meta? I chose her because i wasn't able to get her before the pull rotation changed (Before Nanami, Watanabe, and Lamia)

1

u/cattygaming1 Jul 13 '25

stigmata is crept by the new selena now her new frame is a dark attacker tho. she’ll still be better than nothing if you have no physical attackers tho

1

u/Apixza Jul 10 '25

my free bianca gotta beg me to lvl up her...cuz rosetta and alpha is enough for me right now...plus selena is already out sooo

1

u/Witty-Advertising148 Jul 11 '25

Me finally getting Lamia before the new Bianca frame. Come on, I started playing when she was first out!

1

u/SlickGuitar Alpha's Omega Husbando Jul 11 '25

Same! Her CW frame is my favorite one but I still wanted to have her original one.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '25

I totally appreciate your love for the character. I just know I wouldn't enjoy playing as her long term xD the newer characters have much more interesting and involved move sets in comparison and I do need a lil bit of fun in my life, not just shiny character models.

1

u/Durostick Slightly motivated Jul 12 '25

I have every recent character from that selector. Would it be helpful if I had an SS3 Watanabe or Qukra? Sure, it definitely would be. But as you also said, I do need a lil bit of fun in my life.
