Correction : Daily - 420 Quartz Weekly - 290 Quartz PVP - 50 + 80 Quartz Season - 20 + 25 Quartz Punch In - 80 Quartz I miscalculated in the video for the daily (60 x 7) = 420 Quartz

Saving is the harsh reality of games, but it’s rewarding when u get a good pity rotation on a good banner, or when u can flex ur fortune of rare currency

yeah refreshing the shop 5 times daily really helps in the account's progression. not only people can get blue contracts there but also ship parts and many of the workshop crafting materials as well. But unlike SEA, I have a feeling that Global players might have to reduce the amount of their daily shop refreshes due to the fast pace of content releases there

Good video, hope people understand how important the pack is. But I think with globals different schedule the problem will not be buying the pack weekly, it will be that buying the pack weekly wont be nearly enough to get even half the awakened chars. Id expect them to give more quartz here compared to SEA due to the schedule, but it doesnt seem like they added more ways to get classified recruitments. That could be an issue later on.

Since a defense loss doesn't lower your rank in Strategy Battles, I made my defense team with only low level or low rarity employees so others can climb ranks easier. To those who helped me climb to Plat3 by doing that same thing, you the real MVP.

Dude we get 60 every day so it should be 420 rather than 60, nevertheless this is a great video.

Good vid by GR as usual. I do have to respectfully refute the claim that “you will run out of quartz” though. I’m a filthy casual f2pbtw sitting on 44k quartz after a year in SEA. And that’s getting my classified package every week. I recommend skipping shop refresh and gold binaries. By skipping these 2, you would save 39k quartz a year. And as GR has demonstrated, after 1 year, you will be overflowing w most of the resource you want from shop refresh. Gold binaries are too rng n I think most of the time, the 1k quartz would be down the drain. (Well, Maybe that’s why after 1 yr, I only have 1 x 72% CDR set). Just want to encourage f2p-ers that the game is generous for one to do sufficiently well if you budget yr expenditures (ie build or pull only useful ships or units)

Thanks for the calculations! But there are a few corrections: 1) As Aryan Sharma pointed out, 60 daily quartz = 420 quartz per week 2) Even if you reach Platinum, you can still fall to gold. (But you cannot fall below gold) 3) Do we get 600 quartz from the free Counter Pass every month? If so, I believe that it should be added to the regular f2p income.

5:41 Bryan is So Smart, Pog

been playing global for 6 days, whatched tens of your videos, they are very helpful to me, and this particular video is pretty funny.

Damn not being able to get the black tickets as f2p every week kind of kills the game for me...

dude your mic is on stereo, can you put it on mono, so your audio stops fluctuating between ears?

8:00 Tickets for A.units... thx for the video!

as a F2P (or kinda, kekw) on SEA server, i never run out any quartz tho and trust me you can buy those black tickets everyweeks *IF* you doesn't use your quartz for pulling any single time yep, i always refresh the shop 5x per days and it's really worth to do, even i can spare my quartz to buy some skins idk, they're really generous to give player enough quartz almost every single week

Nice video. Hope to see your next video about Defi Warrior. This game is heading towards the metaverse. Thank you

Goddamnit the way you explain us stuff as if we were dumb af is iconic XD Nice video

thanks as always guitarock you have the best and most reliable counterside content!

you forgot monthly quartz from the free counter pass + monthly dive

when your finnancial planning in gacha games are better than what you do irl 😂

Wow i was actually wondering if I shld buy that package .. thxx 💕

You actually get 965 quartz a week. 420 a week from dailies. With the math, that's 3,860 quartz a month. Enough to get a classified contract and set binary pack. You would have to not do shop refresh though.

Did people really not watch the full video? Even with GR miscalculation, the whole point of this video is GR telling F2P players to manage their Quartz resources wisely, since in the long run you are only getting 965 Quartz WEEKLY which is not even half of what the weekly classified recruitment costs. Meaning as a F2P eventually you won't have enough black tickets to pull every single OP future awakened unit unless you have god luck or you spend money. Sure you can add in the free Counter Pass that gives an extra 600 Quartz and the dive rewards gives some Quartz as well, but Counter Pass is a MONTHLY thing and the future dives reset will be 3 months long similar to other servers. Yes the game is generous if you know how to manage your resources wisely, but that's only because global just launched not long ago so the devs are giving tons of rewards for now like they stated in the server launch video. When Global with it's accelerated pacing catches up with other servers, the game will slow down a lot and you won't be getting the same amount of rewards you are getting on launch just like what SEA server is experiencing now. At the end of the day, CounterSide is a gacha game and the devs need to make money as well.

Your guides have been very helpful! I know you are planning on doing more so I'll just say I'm waiting for an operators one, I don't really understand if I should level them, and how the skills enhancement(?) work.

I skipped everything but the black ticket , the occasional skins, the occasional life time contract nowadays. This allow me to buy black tickets every 1-3 weeks or so depending on the events.

Returning back to counter side after more than 500 days.

Thanks for the content fam. Gotta save for those awakened units! f2p btw

It's so funny that this video was uploaded right after I wasted quartz at the beginning banner lmao

Although you did made this video late, at least its mentioned. Though as someone who played gacha a lot, I did expect this. But its always better late then never right 😂 Its very frustrating to hear that I won't be able to purchase those weekly black tickets weekly anymore soon though TuT

With this system, f2p will find it hard to compete in pvp because paying players will quite easily get the awakened units and dominate the pvp, that's why if you f2p just try to focus in pve and ignore the pvp especially the ranked battle...

Your math is off

nice guide, really helpful

I just got rid of the new ceo banner cause it got to me lol

you broke my dream ... it feel like when I was told Santa is not real. Can't stay FTP BTW for long ...

You forgot the weekly 50 progress.. It gives us 100 quards so we can actually buy 11 pulls every month

Me who used 7500 quartz to pull for Karin Wong *chuckles I'm in danger* and my last 3 days I didn't find a single blue ticket in the shop refreshing 5 times. Used 51 tickets I had trying to get sigma, I didn't, and I regret not saving them for Estel. I have made several mistakes and ended my honeymoon too early I think lol

I was F2P for half a year in SEA, even though quartz week is low but they keep putting event into the game. I never run out of quartz to buy black ticket. Day 1 player BTW.

DAMNN BRO your guide vids are really amazing!!! it lets me understand the game much ezz

Im the unluckiest man when it comes to awakened pull. almost 300 pulls i pulled one awakened unit and it was pity

I wasnt planning to pull for Sigma, but when i played her event, i really wanted her, but this probabilities really suck, i pulled 93 times just to get her. I also got 4 or 5 ssrs that i didnt want (some of them i already had)

Hah my honeyphase already ended after the first few days, already awoken to the true grind

Hello i know iam late here but i cant play story mode they ask 100 Quartz , i has like 1000 and they still ask to start the story now i have 0 🌝and the story not open and they ask also 100 Quatz , i need help with that >_< HELP😩💔

Hey unrelated question but I started on Global but I kinda wanna start another account on SEA servers. Would you recommend it or should I stick to global?

guitar do you think can we use sigma proplerly with the gear from the event shop?

what a sad truth for f2p folks, can we affords to buy the weekly black ticket if we buy the counter pass?, as a f2p player im thingking of leaving the game rn, coz its kinda hurts me, the facts that f2p is being forced to pay only to buy a weekly black ticket package. edit : even with the guitar rock off math, we still won't be able to purchase the black ticket weekly

Me who used 8k wuarts on sigma is like hmmm ....nice video

8:00 dang why me again kekw

If the classified employment contract comes up in the shop that cost quartz I don’t buy it?

Guitarrock. Im a little scared on this game later on will it really be that heavily reliant on awakened units and will players be punished hard for not having awakened units? The game is really fun so far and its worrysome to think that lateron pvp will devolve into paper scissors rock of who has the better awakened unit. From your experience can you tell what its like in sea server later on with pvp?

Fck 10k quarts and 39tickets wasted on sigma but I have 9 accounts but I am still crying inside

3 days in a row without blue or black tickets in the shop after I refresh 5/5 my luck is pretty bad I'm starting to wonder if it's worth it if I continue to lose more than I gain now after the shop reset I still haven't tried to see if I'm lucky or the string of bad luck continues I have time to think for 20 hours

Alternate title: how GR make counterside player cried Anyways, im just gonna spend my money when awakened na yubin and awakened horizon came then i go back to the ways of f2p

To late i did into quart summons day one lol but im following your rules now lol

If only this vid came day earlier :/ Spent 10k+60 tickets to get Lee Yumi -_- Ouh well

i think you forgot to multiply daily quartz

This video was so late, I have 0 left from buying all the branches.

the day i run out of quarts is the day i quit

Thanks for the video! Can you also make a lightspender guide?

Currency is called Quartz, calls them diamonds in the first 30 seconds

Did u add the quartz Weekly MT compensation?

Ppl focus mostly on ssr, so game developers give away free ssr and create a even better tier... Pretty sad that 85% new game are in this direction...

the truth hurts. Sadge.

Unless u spend ur gems on pulls even doing refresh everyday you'll still have enough gems to buy weekly black ticket. Ive been playing for almost a year now and there wasn't a single week that I didn't have enough gems infact you'll have more than enough. Just don't use them on pulls. Why would this guy said you'll run out of gems? Shouldn't he the first u know that? Since he also play on SEA. Its a misinformation.

I wish you did this vid earlier during release

Hi guys, I’m really struggling with Chloe’s Info Search stage currently on global. Any advice using the available units?

why didnt you multiply the daily income by 7 when youre calculating the weekly income

So then my ? Is what is the right thing to buy as a small spending player to get enough quartz for the weekly classified tickets?

Black ticket

yang harim cost me 10k quartz T.T only to manage to get her at 147/150 Now I'm crying even more!

i am on 3650 quarts right now i only bought 1 skin for xiao lin that free skin but also buying the classified recruits and refreshing shop sometimes and sometimes the eternium but there is a free ad for it so it will not be worth it just get the free one and also for the unit space (edit: i also got cucked on sigma banner by bbc) (another edit does the arena work rn? because for me it isn't)

they limit the gacha currency per week?

I got sigma in my first 10x pull

I pulled another awakened hilde from daily what do I do with it

Thank you for the video And I hate you for doing this too late Have a nice day 👍

can i use Stigma in full counter team or she is only for mech team?

i made 2 consortiums one somehow got stolen from me lol had the name “CounterSide” and lost it

aw man i just wasted 15k on sigma :D now i feel sad

Can we get A.Hilde on other banners?

11:25 got Sigma in 10-pull yesterday :p keep going!

Nice Math lesson, 😂😂😁

I have 10 accounts ahem not a problem for now hahaha

How much GB is the game rn ?!

Okay so a question for if you are a low spender: The monthly admin coin bundle gives you 70 admin coins per day which is 490 per week. There's a weekly 2x quartz petite package which you can buy 3 times, costs 150 admin coins and gives you 300 quartz (so 900 Quartz a week for 450 admin coins). If you don't spend your admin coins for anything else, that would be a good deal, right? And regarding that: What is actually worth it to spend admin coins on (except skins because that's cosmetic stuff. I mean in terms of value)?

The PVP part is pretty much useless until you have at least 1 fully maxed team and that is gonna take time for sure in F2P.

Ah no

no facecam insane

Psssssssssh time pull out the wallet

what else to get than black tix claudia nelson skin XD

dude you didnt do 60 X 7

I'm screwed I used my 15k quartz to pull for sigma 😔

Does this game require you to "download the latest patch in the appstore" when there's an update?

This shoulda come a few days earlier, could have saved me :(

First!

Still P2W for me 😅

to late .......

I F’ed up

too late :( got sigma though

Welp too late.m already did last night lol

too late... T-T

>3

F2P=Free2Pain...
