Design risks

| R3 | Social risk | 0.61 | |
The game presents significant risks related to dopamine manipulation, including variable rewards from card systems and daily quests, and an infinite play loop common in MMORPGs. Monetization pressures are high due to pay-to-win mechanics via attribute-boosting cards and frequent spending prompts. Social risks include competitive toxicity and social comparison driven by customization and stats tracking, though stranger chat is absent.
