>>55651922If you started playing as soon as Kiki released, you'd need to have at least 36600 (iirc) gems to guarantee getting him at least once. Most months let you earn less than that, assuming you can clear all the content. If I were you I'd either play enough early-game/events to scrounge up at least that much during a longer stretch of time, or wait until he released and reroll (spend whatever you have for him and if you don't get him delete the account and retry, rinse and repeat until you get him).
Game is pretty newbie-unfriendly with the content they've been adding, it's only because I've been playing since the beginning that I can keep up somehow. I'd consider the rerolling thing.
I don't like gachas either, but I've never spent money for Masters (or rather, I've spent very little, we're talking a couple of coffees max, and it wasn't even actual money)
