Veteran here (2904logins, lv156) finally did LB7 (I'll often sit on new singularities, lbs, etc until there's an event coming up that requires clearing, then pound thru in a couple days)

Were these raids "p2w" or... veteran2w? I got the same feeling about tower events, I dont have trouble because I got hella servants and CE purely on account of playing for so fucking long. But the same exhaustion shit in a STORY quest? I saw the little disclaimer about if u get stuck u can reset all the fights, but isn't that still effectively a softlock for a newer player who has been leaning on supports and consolidating resources into a handful of 5*s and relying on CS continues or something?

What did you guys think about the "raids"? It wasn't really a problem for me because I've been playing so fucking long and have passively accumulated such a massive roster (I did not use a single 5* for any of the gauge battles, until it was the final 3m fight one where everyone was available anyways) and just unga'd everything with kscope+mageassoc mystic code with rando 3/4*s that had class advantage (same shit i do for towers). Particularly interested in the experiences and opinions of newer players, did anyone get 'softlocked' and need to reset? did you feel like it was BS or unfair? Or was it *actually* tuned perfectly fine and doable as long as you pay attention to class advantage. I only have my own perspective, and by my own perspective and with my own arsenal, they could have added a third or fourth raid and I'd have been fine but I know I have a ton of shit because of how long I've been playing, but the whole thing just felt a little "unreasonable" for a story quest. Or am I completely off base here?

That said, was cute to have olga back in LB7, and despite her not being very good in most of the fights she was forced support in, she wasn't as gratingly bad as sashi in shinjuku was. Also jesus christ sitonai and jalter made an absolute mockery of every single "gimmicky" bossfight
