Having never played gacha games but getting a good laugh out of this, is this really a thing people play? How different is the real gameplay?

RNGesus is far, far, far too nice on this game. :)

In real gacha, the odds of pulling something good are generally super ridiculously low.

The odds are generally so bad that they will implement a "pity" system to avoid the awful PR from the common case of spending a ton of money and getting absolute garbage.

If the battle has numeric controls for blocking and other actions (assigned to 1,2,3...) the game would be more fun to try and optimize.

document.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {

  // Map the keys '1', '2', '3' to array indices 0, 1, 2
  const keyMap = {
    '1': 0,
    '2': 1,
    '3': 2
  };

  // Check if the pressed key is 1, 2, or 3
  if (event.key in keyMap) {
    const targetIndex = keyMap[event.key];
    
    // Dynamically fetch the buttons currently in the DOM
    const buttons = document.getElementsByClassName('block-button');
    
    // Ensure the button exists at that index before clicking
    if (buttons[targetIndex]) {
      buttons[targetIndex].click();
    }
  }
});
