Yeah, if you desperately want to clear MoC now, rolling for him might be your best choice... but we're going to get more defensive characters (free ones too), you'll probably get spooked by a Bailu/Gepard sooner or later, and so on. From a pure ROI perspective, spending 100-or-so rolls on a new character just so you don't miss out on a handful of MoC Jades is a pretty terrible deal.

And also, questionable investments, I think, are almost never as big a deal as you think

A mindset that has helped me here is "Yes, I might eventually want to build a unit that makes better use of this premium skill, but while it's just sitting in my barracks I'm making zero use of it."

It's true that this game is a limited-resource environment and it's perfectly logical to be considering the possible opportunity costs of your actions, but you shouldn't let it get to the point where you let every opportunity pass you by. And even if you make a suboptimal decision, you're playing a game, not trying to maximize the returns of your investment portfolio. You're allowed to "mess up" here and there. Nobody's keeping count except yourself.

but yeah i do miss the days of just slapping fury+desp on an offensive unit and being good to go

You'd think that after the disaster that was SSS they'd learn that simply dropping obscenely bulky enemies into a boring stage and calling it endgame content was not going to fly, but here we are.

Just guessing here, but I think OP may have misread the handwriting and it's actually supposed to read "ned so houchprozentig" ("not such a high percentage"), probably as a direct jab at the CSU's pretty disastrous result during the 2018 elections.

I'm also not very familiar with Bavarian, but that sentence makes a lot more sense to me.

(Coincidentally, the percentage of votes the CSU got, 37.2%, is almost identical to the minimum amount of alcohol fruit brandy is legally required to contain, 37.5%)

Just for the record: If you just send the card from the ED straight to the GY, you wouldn't be able to activate the effect to SS itself because it wasn't properly summoned first
