>>1385586
The MAs get really big bonuses from them, it's pretty much between them and, idk, Phantom. Kraken and green-element Xingyao get status acc which is ok but not crucial. If you use them a lot then consider getting the first data linkage which has the stat bonus but also has a team buff. Otherwise, bonboning them is more of a luxury for later, if you really like them.

The event shop is done! Bad news is, I ran out of energy to do this. I still think it was worth it though.

Will try doing Target Eliminations tomorrow, I think. No idea how to start.

go for Centaur first, most units need the speed gear she drops
try to only farm stage 7 and above since those drop the 6* pieces of gear

>>1455293
that's what I gather from looking at the prydwen guides - I don't have Alice though, and the only units I have raised proper are Quinn, 04 and Grace, the rest lag behind

After further inspection, I found out something. I can farm Centaur for gear, but I probably need Tech 3 Kanna (status infliction would help, but it is what it is) to do it. My team of Quinn/Morris/04/Sonya failed, so I'll be replacing Sonya with Kanna before trying it again. Unfortunately, because I missed blue chips yesterday, I'll need to wait two more days.

Because I like not having to wait for lots of time for no reason, I decided to start farming red chips. Somehow, I managed to clear all the way until stage 10 with this setup - Catcher support AG helped. Morris really is ridiculous, looping S3 into S2 back into S3 infinitely with leveled skills. Her skills healed around 4.5k HP, which was 41% of her own MaxHP, but 90% of the rest of the team. Everyone gets this donk for free and she's this good, that's insane.

>>1455840

Just from scrolling through her kit, she relies on corrosion status to do anything at all. Her S3 is 95% proc and S1 is 35% proc. To make statuses work on bosses, however, you need status infliction gear, which in earlygame you're just not gonna have. So don't worry too much, she needs gear to work in pve.

>>1455848
>95%
100%*
it's still screwed because most bosses have 50% status resist or something

>Roko is the PvE god for early game players. The poison mechanic allows you to cheese through Harpist stage 9, darkzones and many more. Roko will be benched a few weeks after release as players are able to gear their units properly, but until then, Roko remains one of the best PvE boss killers.

A new season of All-out Battle has opened. You can turn in codexes that you get from normal battles in it (same ones that alliance needs, you get loads of them in EX event battles) there, and get 3 energy cans plus some goodies per 10. So naturally, I started to clear the event shop last second!

I'm also leveling a bunch of stuff on the side. Did you know that you can star up generic 3* robots using around 16 Event Skip tickets on Hard EX stages star them up to 4*, then use them as star up fodder? I've only found out recently. EXP farming is amazing.

Anyway, event summary. Neptune drops on Nio and they have a drastic fight, then she gets back to Gamindustri! It's a really fun short story. Now for the hard part.

Nowa got pulled on the first try, so I made a point of pulling Neptune's banner for pity twice. The reason being was a free random 5* AG ticket at 150 (see here >>1457548 ) and pity pot at 180. Now the hard part. I don't know why, but I think that it's not possible to max all three units (Nepgear, Neptune, Noire) only with what the game gives you. I'm not 100% sure, of course, but this is the feeling the game gives me. Therefore, I'll be prioritizing Neptune first, with Nepgear second.

The event this time around does not give event shop currency directly. You earn a little through daily quests and achievements (play stage X times, beat X, etc), but it's not much. Instead, you drop tickets to challenge the boss with. You win the boss fight, you get to roll the gacha for Nepgear's upgrades.

...anyway, I have no clue how to do this boss fight. I rolled the previous difficulty with 04/Quinn/Morris/Suriel (needed a support AG though), but it looks like this one counters you with skills. 20k power required when my team only has 10k. Any help would be appreciated.

Now then, please share your feelings about the event!

It seems you're really really lucky!

Another realized downside: I cannot farm second hardest stage of the boss on auto because my units would die without support AG. It appears I'll have to blast the boss around.... 100 times with 4 minutes each attempt over 13 days.

>20 more perma events not done; each should take 3-4 fuel boxes

pretty sure it all works out though, so if it does, then even you should be able to clear the gacha pool if you only do second difficulty

Another daily update. I've left my alliance and will be able to make my own tomorrow. If there are no objections, I'll name it "wewlad".

Progress on permanent operations is going smoothly. I've found this thingy when I was doing daily annihilation. What can I even do with this? Two gold stats, one of them SPD, but it's 5*, not 6* and the set is not useful. Troublesome.

I've finished my Neptune rolls. Hit 3 pity at 270 rolls total. Not one of them scored a Nep on her banner, leaving me with Rank 3 Purple Heart. I will probably be able to obtain more BonBon XXL's later down the line to cover this - which means Nepgear's gacha is next. This means that I will finally be able to 6-star Neptune with her copies too.

I estimate that I have 50-ish more rolls in Permanent Operations and around 20 in Main Story (before I get walled by other content). I can get another BonBon from the Charge button if I spend around 70 more rolls, so if I go for another 90 rolls of pity, I can get two more Neptune ranks. I think it's out of my reach now, though. After I finish up Nepgear's gacha, I'll think about blasting the rest of my AP/stash on it. If anyone can offer any advice, please do so.

I hope you exited your alliance by now, Pacific bro.

FINALLY
Roko with her Corrosion status carried me here. The boss had 70% status resist. It didn't matter. I may have had to use a Rela on 04 to delete the initial swarm of enemies, but after that, defensive AG + Roko damage carried me. Final team was Morris/Nepgear/Roko/04.

I had no idea I could beat this!

Here's another daily update! I've managed to complete all the Permanant Event content (don't look at To Glory, it has a troublesome EX-4 stage I don't want to do). It took quite a lot of time to do. This gives me a little under 34 rolls, which with a release of another Permanent Story in 2 days, 3 tickets from login rewards in 2 days + main story progression will push me towards first Black Heart pity, which will give me a final BonBon. That'll be it for this event in terms of rolls.

I've tried very hard to make Extra stage NewThx consistent yesterday. I've only found out that the best team around for it is Morris/Nepgear/Black Heart/04, as ailment procs on the boss with 70% resist are inconsistent at best. I'll have to do this boss today too for 150 event currency, what a pain.

After this mess, I'll finish up Nepgear's gacha and try to progress in Main Story as much as I can. So how is your progression? Are you doing well?

Today, I've done it. Rolled the last 40 pulls on Noire's banner. Got TWO (2) Black Heart ranks, plus the one from pity, plus the last BonBon from the charge track. Amazed at such a display of love from the game, I promptly decided to rank Black Heart up further - she did, after all, have straight +ATK rankup bonuses. The final result is Neptune at Rank 3 (rolls spent: 270) and Noire at Rank 4 (rolls spent: 90). Noire LOVE

Today I've started work on max level Alice - the wiki says she's bread and butter for so-called cleave setups, which forego speed and health for the sake of more damage in terms of gear. Given that I have no gear to speak of at this time, I think it's a worthwhile investment. Here's hoping this pays off.

Special shoutout to alliance fren who generously donated three 3* skill level chips. I've leveled Roko's S3 up to the ailment boost with your help, man. Much appreciated.

Finished off Nepgear's gacha today. With 5 days to spare, too. Good going. I think that it's time for me to start doing Centaur Eliminations + Main Story soon. There's also Distant Trial to think of - no clue how to start there.

With Nep event coming to a close, there's a few things that need to be decided. First off, I'm gonna have (90x5 days) 450 more SEPlaneptune game disks, bringing the count to 810. I have no idea what to spend all this on, but I'm leaning towards fodders and EXP. There are a lot of things to level, after all.

Second, according to the schedule (source: none), F. Nio banner will be rerun soon. Normally I wouldn't care about anything other than a bunch of neppers, but it's a Nio (main girl) and she has a self-revive and an SSS PvE rating. Naturally, after spending 360 free rolls, I don't have anything except whatever's left of the main story to go around. We'll see how that works out.

Third, while rolling for all the other mess, I pulled Sirius and Oona. Their kits seem neat, but I haven't raised them at all - and what's more, they (kind of) conflict with Black Heart's niche in my roster, which is Green (green-ish?) single-target DPS. Coupled with CR Suriel (level 50 and tech 3 now!) being sorta useful, I'm not actually sure what unit to spend my 5* skill keys on (20 rn). I can bring those two up to speed no problem with the massive amount of EXP from Neptune's shop, but how useful are they? I don't know. If anyone has any experience with them, sound off.

I also got Ginga, but even if the tierlist says she's SSS-tier in PvE at first, after Purple Heart, who looks to be doing the same job, raising her seems kind of strange. Would Ginga + Purple Heart + Morris + Alice be an effective Centaur farming team? My guess is no because only Alice S3 offers a persistent debuff and I have no gear to compensate. Decisions...

>>1463547
I have 82 of those things and around nine useful 4-stars to raise at MOST. There is seriously no need.

>>1463781
>only Alice S3 offers a persistent debuff
Just checked and Centaur is SPD down immune. I can either slot in Foxy or fit in Nepgear's S3 magic. Just need +100% ailment boost from gear for both her and neptune somehow fffff

Another daily post. I've started to make progress into Centaur elimination research. My first Centaur 8 auto seems to be really janky right now and takes a lot of time, but still works fine - you may observe it in this here webbum. I bought a Gavialis Cat Orb and put it on Neptune - it works wonders right now. This is where I'll put most of my sanity from now on until I get a decent set of gear. I've managed to complete the event 9-square that was expiring on 9th May by spamming elims too, so go me.

And that's it for today, pretty much. Because the elims take so long to do, I have about 25 leftover energy cans after all the dailys and elims. In fact, they're still running in the other tab. The goal of all this is, I wanna get some decent gear, then make a Centaur 9 auto somehow, then level it all up and blow up the main story for F Nio rolls.

I've almost forgot to mention, but I leveled Nepgear's Unique Armament to level 20. At 20, she gets a passive that reduces her S2 and S3 cooldowns by 1 if no allies have debuffs on them. That seemed pretty broken to me, so as a result now I'm a little bit poor. Maybe. It'll fix itself with time, probably.

It took me around 4 hours, but I've cleared this week's rewards from Distant Trial. This boss had 70% deflect on atk while debuffed + bonus turn riposte + every attack was aoe healblock+spd/atk down on one target. This boss took a lot of time and without CR Suriel, I would not have made it.

Excuse me while I fall unconscious

Today was not a very busy day, but there was a lot of planning involved. With the downtime at hand (and my massive supply of 4* skillup keys), I recognized that I should raise a bunch of useful 4* AG's. Thus, today I brought Maika and Corax to level 50 (6 stars + tech level 5, all chip stages are open on sunday) using the event currency - for EXP cat orbs and starup fodders respectively.

Maika is a Tank, who is oriented on giving all allies action bar boosts. When she gets hit, her allies get sped up, and when her ally gets hit, that ally gets sped up. To be honest, raising her seems pretty overkill with Morris and Nepgear, but I'm sure the game will throw a lot of tanky, desperate looking fights my way. Her information can be found here - https://www.prydwen.gg/artery-gear/characters/maika

Meanwhile, Corax is a DPS unit, who seems to focus on speed. She can grant herself speed buffs and Stealth, in addition being able to 100% stun targets with her S3. One thing to add though, is that all bosses are stun immune, so it doesn't look that helpful. Her information can be found here - https://www.prydwen.gg/artery-gear/characters/corax

I've also decided to completely invest in CR Suriel that was rolled earlier. The reasoning behind that is that I need a solid red DPS unit, which I can farm SPD/ATK/crit gear for and that has utility. My second pick for that was raising Rosemary - she technically does a lot more damage, but an ability to grant partywide debuff immunity and no-sell death once every so often is just too fancy to not take. After maxing Quinn's S2/S3 and CR Suriel's S1/S3, my 5* skill chips count rests at 0. The rest of the chips go into Sirius development fund and towards Unique Armament leveling. Sirius and Angelica are due to be raised next, former because meta (I bet she facerolls even without skill chips) and latter because I want a green SPD/atk/statusacc set user that's not Roko. Used up almost all of my purple chips!

And this is mostly it for now.

I think I'll skip Purple Heart. If she lands all her lightning stacks, S2->S3 looks mean, but I should start saving rolls for the pavo

Today! Today I rethought my farming priorities. After staring at the screen for minutes on end (as each Centaur 8 farming run takes approximately 3 minutes, with a chance of failure), I came up with a master plan to raise Verbena and replace Nepgear with her - after all, all her skills inflict DEF down (-70% somehow), including S1. Thus, she is now level 50/60 tech 5. I'll think on how to use her and what to do with her tomorrow.

I've also almost finished my second SPD/ATK/crit%/critdmg% set. I plan to use it on pure damage-dealer type characters like Black Heart, Sirius, Corax and CR Suriel. Right now I have 4 pieces done - they're not COMPLETELY okay, as some of them have +HP% and +DEF% where there should be flat ATK or crit dmg, and only one of them has a gold SPD stat. But all of them ARE from Centaur 8 or 9, which means it's time to farm Harpist 7. Here's my auto - it doesn't use the SPD set pieces yet. I wonder if this is good enough.

So whats this factor thing about? Do i have to get 5 more copies of her before Nio is worth using?

>>1469721
Her copies give her bonus effects when you rank her up, and you can't Bonbon XXL her. But her main selling point is coming back from the dead and I think she does that from the start (unlike Factor Hokuto). You don't have to worry about maxing out Nio, in her case they're mostly nice extras.

I'm sure you know but you can buy tokens from the monthly chore program and trade them in for another copy too.

>>1470007
Thanks for the info. I thought the token stuff was weird but I couldn't find it in the standard shop. Found it now. Too bad I don't do enough chores to get anywhere near enough points for a unit. How come rela is cheaper?

>>1470544
Did you already buy a Nio? A character's cost goes up by 30 tokens every time you buy a copy of them.

You're absolutely right. She's cheapest because she's newest, and then when Factor Pavo comes out, Pavonis will be 300 per 10 tokens, and Rela will be 450.

Hello. I played this on launch in Global but although I liked the plot eventually it got too buggy and my tablet broke down, with the replacement having no space for further games.
I heard that it got a ''Final Maintenance'' announced which I assume is borderline EoS but with the servers running.
So I have a few questions. At a time.
Did you enjoy the story? Did we get answers on what Puppets are and where they came from?

I don't want to count that fucking Frame Arms Girl blockchain bullshit game.

Did you enjoy the story?
Did we get an answer where Puppets come from, a cure and the like?

>>1611375
Is there any mecha musume game incoming that isnt total slop?

>>1611669
Puppets came from space. They're a sentient alien infection. Nio got real infected but tl;dr her tremendous love of the commander (that's you) transferred human emotions into the puppets and they are no longer a threat. There was also an arc about Queen Lisa Autoluna trying to take over/destroy the world.

Now that the earth is at peace, commander and a bunch of gears set off on a new adventure to explore space. There was a timeskip to an epilogue where all of humanity has gone into space and left cat orbs in charge of the earth.

I skipped a bunch of stuff, and I probably forgot some things but that's more or less how it went?

>>1613896
>Puppets came from space. They're a sentient alien infection.

>alma getting triple mind controlled but ended up helping you again iirc
>zhimin and totally-not-china with their impeccable and untainted state helped the union's AGs live fun normal lives until they all joined together to resolve everything
>after the millenia timeskip, izumo was revealed to have been left behind to take care of the cat orbs and earth forever, nio left a recording of all the fun memories the union had together and implanted it in the cat orb Tankukimari so this factual record of AGs bolstered the cat orbs' fanatacism of recreating AG life that they regarded as legends, all while keeping track of space signals hoping for word from humanity even after 1000 years
