Is there a point where free players hit a wall? Do they need to be super lucky? How is it, overall?

Tough. But not insurmountable, depending on your goals.
If you're a F2P player, you need to take full advantage of everything you can, as well as a slice of luck. You need to rely a lot on alchemy, painstaking saving of gems for the long term, and effective usage of them. You need to get every coupon you can, and focus all your energy into exploring and melding legit cards.
It takes a long time, and the reality is that a paying player will ALWAYS have advantages. But there are very, very few creatures better than Graboid w/sac, Swordmaster/Horned Beast w/recycle, Twins w/recycle/sacrifice, Royal Dragon w/disposal, etc etc. There are a lot of really good options that anyone can get, and Naruto has proved it's possible to at least beat the biggest spender in the game with just time and STAR (if you don't even use STAR, that is going to be real tough. It's really good value if you can afford $6 a month). You can easily get every 4* hero with a good guild and constant finishing of gauntlet/trials. You can get a bunch of great 5* from a good guild.
Just set more realistic targets- keep long and short term goals. Long term goals should be exploring Oracles/Horned Beast at minimum, as well as unsealing at least 2 Thalassa and Spider Queens. Short term goals can be getting the materials together ready for meld days- look at what you have ready to go, and make sure they're ready to evolve. It's all about patience to really start getting a killer deck together. I've been playing around 3 months now, and it's only in the last few weeks my decks have really transformed- once I started getting 4* melded creatures I really saw a difference. And I'm far from hitting a wall yet, there are lots more things that can improve my deck that I'm working on.

If you don't mind, how many 4 and 5* creatures and heroes do you have?

Yes ftp does hit walls constantly. I got stuck on map 7 for a long time, then 9-10 and 10-5. But thats the fun of it, it gets hard, u work harder to overcome it, makes u think, struggle. It wouldnt be fun if it was so easy. I really enjoy the game as a 100% ftp player. Good luck bud

very fun actually! Nothing beats the feeling of stomping on paying players with your essentially free cards!

Go Star, otherwise the game slowly becomes less worth playing as you progress, considering the time investment you'll be putting in.
I've been a Star F2P player since November. I've never purchased a gem bag, ever. Key aspects to this is careful use of gems, and make sure you join a Guild with good communication.
My deck power is now at 8600+, I've placed 1st in Arena several times now, and can throw punches with the majority of players.
I do have trouble with a few P2W players (those with two Mythril Drones, two Paragons, etc.) but I still play.
The biggest hit in my motivation in playing this game is the recent Sky Arena and Runes update. Sky Arena because of being forced to literally play every two hours round the clock in a week, and the Runes because they've essentially widened the gap between P2W and F2P players.
Oh, and make sure you like the Deck Heroes Facebook page. I regularly get about 1500 gems / month just by participating in their social media.

It's "hostile" to even small payers and STAR as well. The advantage for spending a small sum is so small that it will diminish pretty fast. Even spending $100 will not grant you much advantage over F2P.
That being said, this game greatly rewards knowhow. If you know every minute detail of this game, actually you may not feel much of the walls except dealing directly with the big spenders in some game modes (like Tournament). Of course luck is still a factor that may divide make or break an account, but knowledge can compensate for that.
Just be really patient.

When they ask for feedback, try to be constructive and ignore the posts that complain. That's basically it! Use gems for boosters and Ultima Chests.

I run around 6 account, 2 of different language. On my f2P accounts it kind fast at first then slow down later on but if you don't mind having 2 accts atleast of f2P, one of it will always find some luck some days so you won't feel that hold back.

This game needs patience and how will you get some? Just save up your money and buy beer instead, beer is good for patience.! How you say? Come lets have some beer and some talking. Hi, my name is voldrox, i have been playing this game since february. I never spent a single dime on this game, not even for a Star. And i am now level 70 old, have a few nice 5* cards, an ok or below average deck i guess with 7300+ power (i can stretch it upto 7500+ but for gauntlet purposes i keep it low). But that's ok! I have multiple copies of swordmaster, harbinger, so I am just chilling waiting for 2x meld day and i will have a few awesome cards with recycle. I know i will EVENTUALLY get there, that is why i just play the game for fun and keep doing regular game chores so that i keep levelling my Heroes regularly. The point is that you will have a slower progress compared to paying players but the that is not going to matter much in the long run because eventually your deck will become as strong if not stronger than theirs. You occasionally hit walls a few places, i know i was stuck at dungeon map 8-10 and had to a get 4* Hero then, and i now am stuck but chilling at 10-9, not i a hurry really. You will hit walls but the walls weaken over time and you will move forward. And we become more appreciative of things that are harder to get, and free players occassionally get awesome cards if they have been playing for quite some time. If you ask me, it's actually much more fun to play completely free because i don't have to worry about things i can loose if i don't have time to play, i can enjoy the game thoroughly without worrying about loosing things or being regularly online. I don't worry about being raided or losing rank in arena much, because i know i am making progress because the game allows you to progress slowly even if playing attack you, you only get stronger with time. My arena rank is 300 but my % win in arena is 62% , lol i am more worried keeping that percentage figure than scaling down in rank. I chose pride over prize. Bottom line: Have fun playing the game, don't feel compelled to spend money on it, save for beer. If you want you can occassionaly skip a beer or two for a month's star. Spend your gems very wisely, collect coupons, do the gauntlets, trials, guild maps daily, join a good guild, you will get many coins and good 5* cards from a good guild team. On the whole i am ok with IGG, this game can be played completely free. Fun fact: I was tempted to buy a Star once, but fortunately my bank rejected google wallet for some reason. I am lucky i can't buy things on playstore with my debit card, or else i would have wasted quite some money for games.

Dude.. How can you manage 6 accounts?? I tried running my second account but i am all absorbed with my main account itself i can't concentrate on my second even if have lots of free time. I have to check if my guild has kicked me out there, not surprised if they already did.

In case people are doubtful on the gems, here's my haul just from last week's posts on their Facebook page: That's an easy 750 gems just in the last week. Hope this helps.

You will Need luck to get nice creatures. But we are realists, you will Need luck in every game.
The whole game depends on three aspects: Creatures, the Hero and the right combination of them. Especially when you are someone, who has that Feeling for right combinations or is a strategical Genius, you have good chances in this game.
But a p2w has nearly always Advantages compared to f2p.

I purchased Star for the first time through opinion rewards about a week ago.
Completed all explorer maps (on easy).
I've been #1 in Arena many times and easily hold a top 20 spot (if I remember to leave my main deck active)
Been 41st in Tournament, but easily maintain top 100
Completed through 94 in trials. Very often getting the 50 gem reward
Deliver over 2 million damage on guild maps quite often.
Complete gauntlet in 2-3 turns on auto.
Patience, time, a little luck and whole lot of strategy is all you need. I have a lot of fun with the game as it appeases my strategy gaming cravings
