So how exactly, without paying or waiting, does one get it then?
By having hoarded crystals which are available to players for free. The difficult bit, admittedly, is knowing which characters are worth using some of that hoard on, but then this is a resource management game after all. Ultimately, this character will be obtainable at 7* as quickly as any new marquee character, and will probably be very useful even without that ability active.
Merrin will be farmable in about 8 weeks. From that point onwards, assuming you haven’t earned any extra shards in shipments or packs, you can easily earn 4/5 shards a day doing the 25 and 50 crystal refreshes. For the remaining 250 shards it will then take approx another 9 weeks to hit 7* which is plenty of time to earn any needed gear. So 4 months from now even ftp players will be able to have a maxed Merrin. That’s faster than most new journey guide characters when they drop and from the kit Merrin looks almost at that level.
One final thought. If this ability was only gated at g11 you can bet that you would need at least 300 kyros to get that far. That’s weeks of gear farming assuming you don’t need them for any other toons. The g12 req really won’t make that much of a difference for the majority of players.
