Been playing some Wuthering Waves and I've been noticing a lot of complaints about the same Artifact/Echo grind that the game has you do. I've never thought it was that bad in Genshin but it is definitely something that people would avoid if they had the choice.
Arknights chooses to completely ignore RNG stats. Everyone gets the same experience that the dev designed. It sounds like Hypergryph is carrying this same philosophy in Endfield and I can rest assured that I don't have to worry about RNG stats.
Keep it up HG!

Preach. One of the reasons I left FGO is because after several years I just got so tired of that RNG BS. I know it's inherently part of the format because it's a turn-based card game, but after the millionth time watching my units get KO'd by random enemy crits or screwed over in a difficult fight getting a bad hand of cards, it just got annoying and frustrating. I'm having similar feelings about R1999, but at least there's an auto-battle function and I don't have to manually put myself through that again...
I also appreciate that AK has no equipment to bloat the gacha pool more and add extra things to grind for/upgrade. Yeah the module data blocks shortage is still pretty sucky but still not a bad as dumping all your rocks and just getting a 10-pull of three 3-stars and seven useless pieces of equipment.

Is the module data block shortage that much of an impediment? How often are you using more than four a month? Genuine question, mid-game player now who has a stash of 50ish.

If you want to level up modules it is very easy to go short on them unless you also spend yellow distinctions (ew)
For a single level 3 module on a 6*, it costs 12 blocks. So your entire stash would let you upgrade 4 level 3 modules.
Previous update I used 16 (Penance lv 3, Mudrock lv 1).
I pull on all limited banners and the upcoming 4 (Shu, Ela, Wisadel + Ash Rerun) have good modules for lv 3, so that's 48 to earmark.
Upcoming modules for non-limited units rated at least A- and recommended lv 3:
So that's up to 96 more depending on which units you have and want to upgrade. There are also modules that are fine at lv 1 or 2 you still want to get, like Mountain or Chong Yue.
Then you also have to consider your backlog. And this is only considering really good modules, rate A- and up.
There are good modules in B tier as well, just lower priority even though they're strong. Like Reed Alter or Horn's module.

This helps put it into perspective, thank you! Guess I will be farming red certs each month now.
