It's a pretty sneaky way of saying "Just keep throwing money at us until you get the characters you want at the star rating you want".
But Money can't buy you Rank ups though, since most of the heroes won't drop naturally as a Rank 5*
Well, here's the thing.
You either get lucky and draw the character you want at either 4 or 5 stars.
Or you level them up, spend the extremely rare feathers to boost their star rating, and level them up again.
The only way to get feathers is either the extremely meager amounts gotten by greeting your friends and the arena battles- or by refunding characters you don't want.
The quickest way to get feathers is just sending back the characters you don't like.
So in either case- by getting lucky pulls or refunding your characters- the only way to get 4 and 5 star characters is through summoning.
Going through various forums, I think that's the biggest quip everyone has with the current system- just how expensive things are, either in real life cash and/or in-game resources. Some people have already completed the current campaign on all difficulties, and thus have no way to get more orbs. Later levels and higher difficulties are absolutely monstrous to your stamina bar. And the feathers are always going to be a nightmare.
So if they want to keep this game going, they're gonna have to be a little more generous on the resources front. Stamina and feathers being especially prohibitive.
EDIT: Either I missed it, or Kaimax edited that in just now. Small note- the feathers go up a factor of 10 for each stage. 20 feathers for 1 star to 2 stars, 200 from 2 to 3, 2000 from 3 to 4, and the total go-fuck-yourself-with-a-serrated-dildo from 4 to 5.
