Well, DW is trying to make sure some people roll on Story Gacha.

From westerners standpoint, who usually F2P, its silly move as people most likely suffering from severe lack of Quartz, thus aiming solely for gacha with limited units and CEs as limited status easily put it value goes beyond other units that easily available.

However for most of Japanese players, its one nice option because story-locked units are:

1) Rarely SSR, made it easier to get;

2) At most cases, they are stronger than others with same rarities, which is way better than gambling with new limited SSR / SR requiring certain efforts to make them fully optimized.

3)  Story locked often offering strong alternatives you can't found on other units. E.g Caster Cu as the only survivalist among R Caster, Nero being the only survivalist among SR Saber, Tesla being the only SSR Archer with extra damage against Sky or Earth by normal pool, allowing him to be good substitute to Gilgamesh.

FYI Japanese players are willing enough to NP 5 story-locked through story gacha if the story-locked units are proven to be worth of your effort in case its not because waifu reason.

Closest example is, Yagyu Munenori, who in JP got praise after several people who burn their wallet through story gacha doing showcase of him, showing how he offers strong options that you most likely won't see on other Saber after him (and then, some players straight NP 3+ him when his rate-up come).

Pretty much different mindset, you see.
