grinding

Grinding in this game requires significant time investment, making it feel demanding and potentially tedious, especially compared to other titles like Multiversus whose PvE mode is seen as easier but also grind-heavy. While grinding can unlock cosmetics, the overall payoff may not justify the time spent for some players.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “Multiversus' PvE mode is unpolished, wildly easy, and very grindy. There is no point to play PvE unless you want to earn more cosmetics, which the mode does offer, but at a high time cost.”
- “The story mode might actually turn out better than Multiversus' PvE mode, which heavily relies on grinding.”
