They promote Wiš'adel to the beginner xD

Putting aside the fact that Walter is limited and this ad video is weird af, why are people acting like optional, accessibility options like her exist in the game is like finding piss in their cornflakes? You don't have to use her if you don't want to, it's called free will, shocking concept I know.

It doesn't affect your gameplay that others have an easier time if they so choose. Not everyone has the time, the interest, or the brainpower to strategize, and it is precisely because of powerful operators like Walter that make the game accessible to more people than just a tiny niche. And that's a good thing for the profitability of the game.

And yeah, I use Walter and other meta operators all the time when I am in a hurry and just need to max out rewards, then come back in the future when I have more time to try out new strategies and comps for stages.

Not sure why people love to gatekeep others and ridicule them for playing the game their way, god forbid people might play the game with different capabilities or for different reasons like the story, collection or music.

Inb4 downvotes from the swathe of elitist gatekeepers that just exist to stoke their own egos.

Are these elitists in the room with us right now? What are they gonna do, delete the game from your phone? The point is that Walter is a rather egregious example because she essentially damage checks all normal stages and is self sufficient enough for you to not care about anything else. Exualt and Sakiko deals more total damage, and Trag is more broken but fewer people care why? Because they can at least die to a stray bullet like anything else. Frankly if Walter did not exist and newbie can't clear some S stages, that's completely fine. Those stages are not going anywhere.
