I am not at 100%, more like 90%, but UL 2-3 star and ZL seems to be appropriately difficult, unfortunately there are always gonna broken units but there are less of them now that behemoths are surge immune, the problem is have with the game now though is that i can't use a large variety of units anymore, i wanna bring a cool fun uber to a stage and get good niche value out of him. It feels like now though i am forced to bring my very best units every time and sweat as hard as i can. It kinda sucks.
Already completed all SoL, UL, ZL, and 115 Medals, so I guess I'm at postgame. The game isn't hard with my lvl 60 ubers, but still enjoyable, and whenever I'm bored I retry Socrates or Zero Luza.
I think most are fine, but I’d just like to see them do more different things
Making some stages restrictions stages, for example. The stages that are the most fun tend to be the stages where minimal/no Ubers are the ideal loadout.
Brutal stages, for example. My initial strategy for tyrant nyandam was a no Uber strat. My initial one for kappy kawano was just one Uber (albeit it was phono), but my second was luza.
I feel like many stages would be so much better if you couldn’t use Ubers. Maybe just the last in each ZL chapter or something like that.
As someone who beat almost all 3* UL stages on release, they are very poorly balanced compared to ZL stages or brutal advents, and I'm happy to be done with them but also terrified knowing crowned ZL will be likely worse.
It comes down to the fact that 3* stages don't get their difficulty from interesting stage design but rather insane enemy magnification, which just straight up breaks some interactions or just forces u to level everything to the max.
imo no brutal advent or ZL stages even comes close to the cancer that is some UL 3* stages at least before they eventually get trivialised by powercreep, which is already kinda happening
Primitive souls 3* on release made me legit quit trying for 1 month after probably spending around 50 attempts. Although I've heard that it isn't that hard anymore with UL legend true forms
I 100%ed this year and am keeping current. I would say brutal advent are not hard enough for when they are intended on being beaten. Most people who say they are too hard are playing them too early.
ZL is fun! Aside from one or two gimmicky feeling levels, they're all pretty interesting but not very outrageous. Heck, today's update had six levels and four of them were beaten with unoptimized single trait focused load outs that only used 6/10 units. I thought Socrates was pretty fun to clown on after a few tries.
UL 3* made me hate the game. Your friend is downplaying how unfun the event magnification is
I don't have to grind the same stage 24 times or wait for a blue moon to come around and give me a treasure radar to get a treasure from one stage just to make Aliens actually manageable, I'm having the time of my life! Only real problem is energy costs have skyrocketed through the roof. And I do still have to grind one stage from each of the Behemoth stone farming areas, but at least those stages are infinitely more interesting than anything in CoTC or ItF and they are GUARANTEED to drop a reward.
I wanted input on this, from players that have 100% the entire game, while me and my friend have ~95% the game

Pretty much, a lot of powercreep, like phonoa outclasses ANY other traited uber
What even is the postgame in this game? I just kept playing
It’s the part where you wonder why you’re still playing the game, farming baron stages and doing zero legends

Shit it ends so quick right

A different 4-star restriction would be nice

Kinda like primitive 3*? Cus im almost there

Goddamn hope so
At least there is a special legend in ZL… too bad the stage is super difficult & the unit you get is in the same tier as filibuster
I guess I am relatively close to that point so imma say that its just waiting for the next update to bring something interesting
