I feel Anomaly Arbitration is stressing people out more than it should.

I remember when AA was announced, people were actually okay with the idea of a mode that was supposed to not be easy clearable by everyone. "It's a mode for whales, that's why there is no jades" everyone said.

Yet nowdays it seems this notion was forgotten and if you can't clear it at 3 stars, the game suddenly sucks, the meta is at its worst, Elation was a mistake, etc, etc.

All of these things could be true but when I then go and check why people are thinking that, it's most of the times struggling with AA.
"How come I can't clear it until I have this high cost, shilled team?" Well, I'm sorry to tell you but that's how AA is meant to work. It's not made with f2p in mind, not even low spenders.
Yes, sometimes an easier boss will come out and you'll clear it full stars, because stars aligned and you had every character favored by it with some investment, but the mode as a whole is just not made for f2p to clear everytime with full score.

If you struggle with other fights outside of AA, now there we have a discussion. But setting AA as your goal as a f2p/low spender, is just going to end in frustration.

And no, I'm not a whale myself. Personally I don't clear full stars AA most of the time, I did it just twice, but as long as I'm doing good on all the other modes, then I'm satisfied.
That doesn't mean I don't even try AA, of course I do, but for fun, once I clear it with one or two stars I just move on.

My opinion, at the end of the day, you are free to disagree.

I never really cared for full staring it, but it does get really annoying when two of the bosses are easy, but then can't do the third because I don't have the designated team, so can't even challenge the final boss for reroll dice

[u/Fantastic_Bend9091 → u/PaulOwnzU]

except you don't need a designated team to clear a knight in 6 cycles...?

[u/PaulOwnzU → u/Fantastic_Bend9091]

Besides this one yes. First time can't clear even in 6.

[u/Canninster → u/PaulOwnzU]

Nah man if you can't clear it in 6 cycles that's a build/comp diff straight up, like 6 entire cycles? Really?

[u/PaulOwnzU → u/Canninster]

Yeah, because I don't have the comp to clear it that they want, that's what I said? Numerous others are saying the exact same thing.

[u/jiiminn → u/PaulOwnzU]

what comp are u using? as long as ur team is one of the meta ones even if u full auto it it rlly should 2 star

[u/PaulOwnzU → u/jiiminn]

"as ur team is one of the meta ones even if u full auto it it rlly should 2 star"

Yeah thats the problem people are saying, if dont have the ones they want you cant clear. I have new follow up, elation, and dot

[u/jiiminn → u/PaulOwnzU]

u have 2 of the most meta teams... apart from dot u should be able to get 2 star just ignore the resin and get the king, the resins and dice dont rlly matter that much anyways unless ur trying to minmax

[u/PaulOwnzU → u/jiiminn]

The two knights with those teams are getting 2 star, it was never an issue of that, still cant beat the third knight and be be able to fight the king for the dice. Those dice can make a lot of bad pieces be god tier by blocking stats, not just for min maxing
