Is NTE F2P friendly? Can I enjoy it without spending money?

NTE is very F2P-friendly. Version 1.0 provides approximately 418 free pulls — enough to guarantee 2 limited S-rank characters plus their signature weapons. A-rank characters perform well in most content when properly built, with a manageable gap compared to S-ranks. Daily commissions, weekly tasks, exploration rewards, and events provide steady resource income. Monthly pass and battle pass accelerate progress but aren't necessary. All core content — main story, open world exploration, dungeon challenges — is fully accessible without spending. F2P players can enjoy a complete and high-quality experience.
