Summary
In this special solo deep-dive, Jakub from 2.5 Gamers breaks down everything you need to know about gacha system design, from token economies to deck-building, duplicate handling, meta shifts, and the subtle art of collection drivers.
If you’re building a game with gacha mechanics — or just want to understand why Genshin, AFK Arena, and Clash Royale all work so differently — this episode is essential viewing.
What You’ll Learn:
The 3 core gacha models: Solid Token, Shard, and Merge Gacha
Why deck size and collection drivers are make-or-break
The truth behind duplicate value, token pacing, and gacha depth
How games like Monster Strike, Puzzle & Dragons, and Survivor.io manage their meta and scale content
The trade-offs between luck, grind, and progression friction
Why Asia and the West design gacha systems so differently
