Just updated the KD's Recommendations for the game to include a small idea and an idea given by Boilertribe in the Line chat:
Little ideas - (4) Gem sale promotions including 6* and 7* tickets

Gem sale promotions including 6* and 7* tickets
Simply as the title suggests, promotions offering 6* and 7* tickets as you buy gems would be very appealing to lots of players. At my time writing this, we're only getting promotions including rare ingredients which only appeals to the biggest spenders and the new players.Buying 6* tickets for money (Boilertribe)
This idea is relatively simple, but can make a huge impact to the game by giving paying players guaranteed results. In the past we had a guaranteed featured legendary every 6th pack. This game is built around the RNG of a gacha, but having some guaranteed value from buying and spending gems is a good way to encourage people to spend their money. The exchange shop opens up lots of new possibilities for the company to make money, reward old timers for their +9 legendaries and to help boost new players by giving them some extra legendaries for their collection.For this idea to work, the gacha must remain the primary way to release all new monsters and the shop should be mostly used as a place to dump older monsters, with only a few unique (new) or powerful monsters being added. This way, the overall monster release system will not be affected and the ability to buy 6* tickets will simply be an additional source of revenue. Additionally, there must continue to be a decent number of 6* tickets rewarded in the game for playing content so that the balance between P2W and free players doesn’t get hurt.
The target market for this would be medium to big spenders who are looking to expand their collection with things they want by straight-up buying particular monsters from the shop. There are (and will be more) key monsters people will happily spend some money to get rather than the wait for the free 6* tickets to save up for. Also, if old legendaries eventually get retired here so they are no longer in any egg pool then newer players without these monsters will want to buy certain ones for teams they’d like to build. The big spenders will most likely buy a bunch of them when they start playing the game while also pouring money into the gacha to get the stronger monsters available there. This may also encourage low spenders to put in a bit of money to get a few more 6* tickets and grab monsters they really want from the shop.
It’s already been shown by the shop so far that monsters will be entered with different costs. Old (weaker) legendaries have been added for 6 tickets and stronger legendaries are 12 tickets. With this in mind, I don’t think the ticket pricing should undermine the gacha.
