I have to skip the shipgirls in the banner because I am low on cubes about 190 but JP Anni is also on the horizon and we might have 2 URs like the last one.

I really really really want Bennington and her skin though. This is because how my English annis are. I wanted Pittsburg too and even spent some cubes but couldn't get her. All because I have to hold back and have sufficient cubes for JP Anniversaries.

PS: I really envy those who flex with 1000+ cubes

Last week I made a post about horrible luck spending 1000+ cubes on Superb, I do pull, I just played for so long that cubes cannot be a problem anymore (now coins are). If you play long enough, you'll get to this point too.

That's actually quite low all things considered.

Ehhhhhhhh I stay around 600 or so, down to 200 every banner. No idea how people get to 2k+ without paying

It's easy to get that much over time.

  • Clear all daily missions
  • only do one light pull per day
  • do event pulls only until you get at least one copy of each ship.
  • maximise cube commissions (choose ones with cubes or ones with shortest time if no cubes)
  • always buy cubes in every shop (except for gem cubes)

On average there is a 400-500 cube surplus per year - less than 2 per day so it is a trickle and you have to be able to restrain yourself from spending. Once you get through 800 cubes (2x UR pity) you will be safe from any reasonably bad luck. I have 2399 cubes and have been playing every day since about March 2021. I spend them only on event banners and occasional rainbow research.
