The hooks (what makes it different)
- Honest gacha — drop rates published and the pity counter shown on-screen, not buried in a Terms of Service. (You can verify it in the simulator above.)
- No ads in battle. Ever. Stamina recharges free; difficulty is never paywalled.
- Manual by default — real tactics, not an autoplay slot machine. Auto-battle is opt-in and tier-gated.
- 200-floor roguelite — a persistent Tower climb and a roguelike Abyss descent share one roster, with perks, artifacts, and per-run map variety.
- FFT / Tactics Ogre DNA on a phone — the itch a lot of grid-tactics players have missed for years.
