    Ive been under the impression all the AST cards are balanced around 90-180s CD for single use, and 180-360s CD for Royal Road use. Since if you maintained the odds but removed the RNG of it thats where youd end up at.
    180s/3m being the least amount of time it takes to do 6 draws, 360s/6m the time it takes to do 12 draws. The 90s/1.5m and 180s/3m minimums there to accomodate probability improvement from Redraw, likely a bit strong of an improvement in comparison to practice, but in 0 RNG environment halving it would be its effect, even tho redraw serves no purpose in 0 RNG and would be pruned out.
    So whenever you beat the odds in succession, it feels super OP.

    Probability also doesn't account for pulling with a stacked deck (AOE balance ready to go) or synchronization with other buffs like trick attack and hyper charge (in current raids). Keep in mind that we were skipping the entire Lapis Phase of A11S before echo started.
