I spent some money but mainly on shards chasing deacon. I knew the fusion was coming and saved resources right after yoshi to use for the fusion. I could have completed it without spending anything.

I'm 100% FTP - never spent a dime on the game. Will finish the last of the pieces today to fuse him.

FTP on day 85 now, no money spent. only need to level up Fenshi, before I can claim Brogni

the biggest hurdles were: time and shards (had to open 1,1k mystery shards to make the last summon event). I dont know how ppl do these events on mobile only, my phone would burst into flames I think

I am in Silver 3, so I could do the Arena ones. still painful but atleast doable in Silver 3

Short ten Mordecai frags to complete fusion, wasn't able to complete the first arena tournment, just spent ingame gems, no $$

For those that missed some fragments, there will be a pack with those fragments, watch out for it.

100% FTP too and I got him, but it has been very frustrating and stressful. I probably won't do a fusion event again.
