Its supposed to be slow lol

If you level freeze, then anyone who's decently knowledgeable and not level-freezing will surpass you in power. The only exception is if the level freezer is a spender, but then again, compared to a normally playing spender the level freezer will also fall behind.

The only real benefit (though it is a big benefit) to level-freezing is that you get easy advanced refines in Sage Battlefield, and possibly matsuri.

Also depends on if you're a f2p or not ofc. If you're a f2p~medium spender, level freezing will help a lot since you won't be able to match the power of heavy spenders anyways. So might as well get the adv refines, you need them.

A heavy spender though has little point in level freezing, since they can play just as well in 'normal' sage matches, and by not level-freezing they can dominate in Kyuubi Capture and GNW
