Evolution of your main team

Ok, here is my story:

Started around one week before the 100 days event and I picked Dimael from 2 star ticket eventhough he is starting to fall behind the meta back then because why not, lol.

Spend some days (Team that time is Clause, Dimael, Cleo and Frey in Ch1 just grinding and not compelled to continue the story further) to familiarize myself to the mechanics of the game and there are many realizations that sticked to me:

A. There is no gacha of heroes in this game, only their respective UWs B. Any hero is viable,there are no bad heroes only bad team synergies C. There are many waifus in the game D. Even if there are no hero gacha in this game, the resources used to build a character is no easy joke and are time-gated meaning I need to plan accordingly

I just tried the game for fun back then to pass the time (playing other games like SW, 7k, Light Fellowship of Loux, Marvel FF, MSL, SS etc) and somehow KR hit my sweet spot back then. Playing many mobile games, I developed a policy that I am not willing to spend a dime unless I got lucky first (it is my theory that every account has inherent RNG value tied to them at inception - for example in SW there are accounts that are already 2 years and still no NB5 pulls from any sources), and so I test my luck and got some decent artifacts and Cleo UW.

And then came the fateful sneak peek notice for the 100 days event detailing the generous rewards. Then and there I said "Damn this developer, this guys are awesome. Vespa eh, you really got my attention now". Because of that, the OCD and gamer in me worked in overdrive. My thoughts back then were "Okay I need to theory craft now to maximize Vespa's generosity to catapult my progress in KR and plan the future ahead". Visiting Reddit and King's Raid wikias I gathered the information I needed and theory crafted a team that are all waifu material (I am but a simple man) and synergizes well with each other. The team is Jane, Maria, Aisha and Laias. Then I plan accordingly on how to acquire them: Selecting Jane from the 3s New User ticket, Buying Aisha from shop, Choosing 5s Maria from the 100 days ticket and lastly buying Laias also from shop. I am kinda willing to spend back then because:

a.) I have proven to myself that somehow my inherent RNG value in my account is decent in a sense

b.) There are no hero Gachas making it easier to build my dream waifu team and lastly,

c.) Vespa is the most generous developer to my experience up to date. Upon research I found out that they are a new and small gaming company in S. Korea so I guess it's okay to support them a little.

With that in mind, I adhered to my plan and bought the heroes that is needed and chosen Maria in 5s selector. Used the UW selector from 100 days event for Aisha, then tried to whale thru Mileage the UWs for the rest of my team (Helped greatly a lot by the free 1,500 tickets from the first Summon event and the Mileage tickets from the hero purchases and costumes purchases). Then I steamrolled the contents and farm like there is no tomorrow to play catch up to the older players that started ahead of me.

Thru Heroes Inn, I tried to grow my harem roster by recruiting waifus: Selene (recruited because she's THICC), Epis (because she is one of the reasons why I started playing KR), Rodina (because she says she's always ready for action) and despite not being a waifu I recruited Phillop (because I got his UW from Free daily summon)

The thing is I really like Epis but I don't have her UW. I tried to pull for her UW thru the free resources but as RNGesus decreed, I got Reina. I reviewed her skills extensively and felt that she is the best PvE assassin but I feel that she needs UW to shine. As I was in the Arena, I miscliked the Arena shop and I was reminded that this one also exists. I saw my accumulated points is almost 30k then I got to thinking. "Hmm, interesting. Almost 30k heh, I can use that for Epis. I haven't build any assassin yet and my books are almost there to max one assassin. Ah fuck it, I am building her". With that I build her and T2 her too.

Then came the 2nd summon event notice, the one where with 5 10+1 pulls you are eligible for a Random UW ticket. I thought "Hey it's not that bad. I already have stockpiled 3 10+1 tickets, I just need to whale for 5k rubies. Not a bad value, and also I needed that new swimsuit costumes especially Jane and hnnng that Epis
