yes edo deidara needs 4 stars to be skillbroken/trialled. i'm quite comfortable with oasis putting these breakthroughs behind a paywall actually lol because it means that other low level players like me can't use it in sage, and i get to use my outdated meta to win xD

i dunno how u can be so naive as to still believe that f2p players have a fighting chace at all when whales literally pay to win.

you seem to be under the impression that if edo skillbreaks were available to f2p players, you could easily beat p2w players who miraculously somehow??? don't have a skillbroken edo deidara??? despite it being free?? like,,,let me tell you, if edo dei's skillbreak was easy to obtain, you can sure as hell bet an even larger number of whales would also have skillbroken him by now. and you still wouldnt be able to scratch them with your f2p skillbroken edo dei.

the paywall prevents small to medium spenders from skillbreaking him. small to medium spenders are people f2p players still have a chance of beating because the power gap between a small to medium spender and a smart f2p player isnt that big at all! the paywall doesnt prevent huge whales (who have enough time and money to get a 4 star deidara with additional frags and experimental vials) to skillbreak him. but why should what huge whales have matter to you? your power difference means you would have lost to them even if they didnt have a skillbroken edo dei (or even if you had one). except now you lose...faster.

so yes, im very happy that this paywall keeps the small to medium spenders in my sage slightly less intimidating, and slightly more beatable.
