User blog comment:MotoStinger38/Latest Frontier Rift - Last Straw - What happened to you, BF?/@comment-26140304-20181011054750

It is actually possible to clear the rift without using Nia (provided you have really good nukers), but I can most definitely agree that enforcing the use of a unit featured in a gacha isn't a healthy thing for the player base. You could use Nia as a friend, but then you probably would want Elaina in your squad.

Content lately has revolved around Elaina's UBB that it's gotten quite unhealthy for the latest content released in the game. There's also another thing about "what if I don't have Elaina and what options do I have?" I've created a video guide using a no LE squad (barring Hetepheres) but time after time, people would complain about the usage of Elaina. At the same time, I just wish Elaina was always available for purchase with Rift Tokens so she could be available to all players.

One of my guildies went over 75 summons without a single Nia and that hurts. Thankfully this Frontier Rift is here to stay permanently, but I most definitely hope rifts don't start to nearly revolve around the units featured in Rift Summon. While this is a source of revenue for gumi, they're not really doing it right.
