Princess Connect! Re: Dive CN Server Clan Battle: Are Scripts Taking Over?

Recently, a player highlighted a concerning trend in the CN server of 'Princess Connect! Re: Dive': the competitive Clan Battle scene is increasingly dominated by automation. It is alleged that 6 out of the top 20 guilds are utilizing scripts to secure their positions.

For those unfamiliar with the game, the 'timeline' (or 'zhou') is critical, requiring players to trigger character skills within frame-perfect windows. Because manual input is punishingly difficult, scripts—which execute these inputs flawlessly—have become a hot-button issue. With massive rewards (up to 20,000 diamonds for the top 3) at stake, the lack of intervention from the publisher, Bilibili, has left manual players feeling marginalized and disadvantaged.

The community response has been polarized. Many blame the publisher’s recent layoffs for the lack of enforcement. Others argue the real culprit is outdated game design; they believe that implementing the 'full auto' feature found in the Japanese server would solve the root of the problem. Some players even cynically argue that scripts are a 'necessary evil' to escape the monotonous, labor-intensive grinding that the current Clan Battle format demands. Conversely, others maintain that cheating is cheating, and no amount of 'game design flaws' can justify exploiting the system.
