Games worth discovering

First, a preface of what other games I played and what I think of those games. At the very least, you'll know where I'm coming from.
I've played Arknights (I still play it. I love the game. You get about like 30 pulls a month by default, but there's no real pressure to pull, since content can be cleared with low star units.), Langrisser (When I left, dailies were like 2 hours a day, guild wars another hour a day and your weekends were fully consumed just manual farming during events), FEH (I saw the powercreep and fled. It was inferior to Langrisser in many ways)
The endgame content is pretty much locked until you max dupe 5 SSR units (1 original + 3 dupes). Other games do not have that system. The game's generosity has to be considered in this context.
Pulls and pity
Nikke has 40+ SSRs and the meta does not care for easily half of them. The basic recruit has done well by introducing a wishlist system which limits the pool to 15 SSRs of your choice. So, you'll never have to worry about a diluted pool as the game progresses.
Nikke is on paper generous with easily 300+ pulls in the first month, but... there is zero pity, and even with a 4% SSR rate, math can be unfair and players can go 100+ pulls with zero SSRs.
They have character molds with theoretically 61% odds of getting an SSR, but there's still a 39% chance of failure, and again, zero means to mitigate the bad luck.
There are "friendship point" pulls with a 2% rate, but again, with zero pity, can be pretty meaningless when you strike out repeatedly.
Nikke has a sparking system for 200 pulls with caveats. Make 200 pulls. Unless it's a banner unit, you get to buy a character's dupe, not the unit itself. The dupe is necessary on your path to your 5 fully duped SSRs. However, not every unit is sold in the sparking shop, and your only option is to pull further.
When Nikke players say the game has "pity", they are talking about the 200 pull "sparking", and they tend to hype it as a generous "pity". Players who have played other games have seen better pity systems and find it unacceptable.
New players are discouraged from pulling on new character banners unless they're metabreaking or if they're confident they can max dupe them in a mass pull, because their dupes will not appear in the sparking shop after the banner is over.
A reasonable estimate, not assuming cursed levels of bad luck, for unlocking endgame with 5 SSR units is within 3-4 months if you choose your pulls carefully. As probabilities go, there are also cursed accounts which have terrible pulls and are still stuck for 5 months now, and the game does not do enough to mitigate this anomaly.
Many pulls. Many many pulls. Zero pity. It's fine when many pulls -> many SSRs. It's not fine when many pulls -> many duds. And the game does not do enough to help the unlucky players.
Mentioned games
First week good. First month bad
The good
Character art is very nice and graphics are good 7-8/10 overall.
Music and sound design is also good 8/10
In the first week the early campaigns are easy to progress which means easy rewards to keep players investing into the game.
Interesting story and some interesting dialogue. Characters interact mainly through text messages and can have funny or cute interactions. I was enjoying and obtained 12 SSR characters.

In this game it's all about the money(around 60USD 20 summon which is a bit expensive) and luck. The ssr drop rate is only about 2%. Without money you can summon about 5 times a week which is understandable. However, for people who are not particularly lucky such as myself it takes about /70 summon in average to get one SSR. Although R characters are useful in some cases, ssr is needed if you are hoping to get through chapter 10. And so I am stuck at chapter 10-12 for two month now.😓😓😓

Firstly,This game is the most generous gacha because the gacha system is so good that you can get SSR even when you don't have the pity.
Secondly,Even after you get SSR your pity won't reset.
(The standard pity for a guaranteed SSR Weapon is 80)
Thirdly,When your beginner there is a quest that when you get 700 points you will get a ssr selector box that you can use to get what SSR weapon you want.
