The monetization aspect of the game features a standard gacha system for hero collection, with no option to farm or directly purchase heroes, which some players find limiting.

Overall, the monetization approach is seen as average, with no standout elements compared to other idle games.

- “No ads that I've seen.”
- “Good, there are no ads.”
- “Purchased ad skipper, charged for it and went to use it and I still have ads.....please fix this.”

- “Hero collector with idle resource gathering mechanics / art style is unimpressive to me / standard gacha pulling system, can't farm or target buy a hero unless you summon enough times / I didn't find anything unique after playing for 2 weeks.”
