| R2 | Monetization | 0.33 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.50 | |
The game incorporates several design mechanics that can encourage excessive play, such as variable rewards from drops and reinforcement, and an overall design for infinite engagement. Monetization through microtransactions, particularly for reinforcement, may create pressure to spend to remain competitive. Social risks include potential for social obligation within guilds and competitive toxicity due to ranks and titles.
