>>1545859Simona/Auguste waiting room, otherwise my team is complete.
>>1545859Saving for Cocoa
>>1546116Yeah I need Auguste as well.Kinda want to get Saffiyah, but she doesn't really fit my team at the moment so I'm thinking I should skip her so I can save for Auguste.
I'm like 100 pts away from RadianceAlmost gonna make it
>>1546257Where can i see future units?
>>1545859thank you, I was worried we wouldn't have a shelter in vmg when vg dies after honeymoon phase
>wasn't done rerolling>launch rewards gonewell guess I'm not playing this shit game.
>>1546358We've been on vmg longer.>>1546483The fuck were you going for?
>>1546296
>>1546646Putting Saffiyah and Auguste so close together is kinda cruel considering they're both top-tier characters.I guess it goes>if you use Dantalion on your main team and/or you don't have Col, pull for Saffiyah>otherwise, pull for Auguste since there currently aren't any top-tier Breakers yet
>>1546649Rawiyah alter is also a seeker and is a more reasonable prospect considering the amount of skippable characters before and after. Only really after the trio of death is Acambe as an alternate to Beryl, Homa if you want an alternate take on a Breaker, and Tristan for another alternate to Beryl. And Saffiyah alter is also coming soon, and you can't run both on the same team.
>>1546695Acambe is more for mobbing and grouping enemies together, Homa is not a DPS and Saffiyah Alter can be run with the OG once she's released.
>caring about metaI'm just gonna save my rolls till I see a banner that makes my peepee go weewee, which from the looks of it seems to be that chocolate belly dancer that sometimes gets posted Simple as
>>1546763>they actually let you run both SaffiyahsRawiyah fans in shambles...Also Homa is still the 2nd best breaker, and no one else gets close. Except Stormbreaker in AOE situations.
Was Rawiyah alter a freebie character for anniversary?
>>1546646>alter this early>alter instead of class changethis game keeps fucking up on purpose
This new event is garbage.At least it lets you brute force the code so I don't have the interact with the retarded gibbons in my guild chat too much.
>>1547065makes me wonder if other games let you run a whole team of a single "character", blue archive is probably getting close
>>1547644Code Geass Lost Stories lets you run a team of 9 Kallens (out of a squad of 10) iirc. Unless they released a 10th Kallen since I stopped playing.
>>1546843the best way to play is spirals anyway so who really cares about the banners outside of just wanting a unit
>didn't attempt the first day of the guild event>it says expiredMotherfucker.
>>1548567RIP your 100 luxite, account bricked
>>1547644There are now too many Lucy alts for me to fit them all on one five person team in Seven Mortal Sins XTASY.>>1548638I think it's 120, RIP that guy.
>>1548930>>1548638Well, counting two days of inactivity means i lost 200ish in total but, eh.Was pushed into playing triangle strategy to "broaden my vision" as my circle said it (my prior tactics experience was just the gameboy one). Surprising to say, the only thing i don't like from the game is the same as soc, the localization.Thankfully i understand japon a little so i didn't get that much pain reading fanfiction.
What does the game even look like at level 60? Feels like this game is a race to the level cap.
>>1552704Tower, PVP, spam Spiral as a roguelike when you have nothing better to do.
>>1552860Pretty much this. Tower and PvP (the real-time version, not the dumb asymmetric version we have now) are the only game modes that matter in the long run, everything else is just side-content. Spiral is a good filler because it takes a lot of time to 100% it and it doesn't cost any stamina.
anyone has the answers for beryl event?
>>1554549Trial and error my fwend.
>>1554549They're all ridiculously easy. Which one are you having trouble with?
Got Simona on my first multi, nice. Now I can go back to hoarding.
Just started playing this today and got some flat bitch named col from the beginner legendary thing. Is it worth getting her battle pass shit eventually? What about the 5 dollar monthly subscription thing?
>>1555235Col is good, her costume pass is kinda whatever. Monthly is fine for what it is.
>>1545859I hit Level 38 today. Played a month, spent $20 on Cornucopia and the daily bonus. Dantalion was my first drop, then Garcia and Alexei, besides the starter chars. Dantalion is GOAT, especially since his banner buff stacks with the core characters'.Events have been consistently meh, starting to lose interest in the game.Best TTBRPG I have played in a very long time though.
>>1555320Dantalion is good yeah, you can build a strong Iria team around him since his aura buff is great. Try to get Saffiyah once her banner comes along since she's a strong unit that synergizes well with him.Alexei is potentially good but he's greedy in that you really need him to be at a high star level to get the most out of him. He's still arguably the best tank you're gonna get at the moment with his lifesteal and ability to become immortal for one turn (2 turns if he's 5*).I don't have Garcia so I can't really comment on her.
I've got Gloria and Simona. I think I'll try getting Auguste once he releases since he's apparently top tier, and make a Union team. Are there any other good Union characters I should be on the lookout for?
>>1556088Better off just running some generic good supports. Ballista is arguably the best generic Union unit, the others are either worse than the named or outclassed by alternatives.
>>1556075Garcia is the best seeker so far imo. She finishes off units put into Dying state inside a 3x3 grid around her, her hook grab is another free attack, back attacks five her a huge crit bonus and her movement range is broken.
>>1556757Yeah, I love my Garcia. Her only flaw is she doesn't have Jump like other seekers. I can't wait to get her to 5 star, I'm farming her shards now. I've heard she hits the highest single target damage among seekers at end game if you go all in on her, but that's a few more months away for me.
>do the Simona summon>get Nergal>it's the second time I've gotten Nergal and he's the only legendary I don't useThink I'm gonna dump the game, the gacha shit ruins a great TTRPG. The summon mechanics are going to lush away paypigs.
>>1557143You can play Spiral of Destinies if you don't want to bother with the gacha shit.>The summon mechanics are going to lush away paypigs.Nah, gacha sucks BECAUSE of the paypigs. It doesn't push them away because they love that shit. You can go on Twitch and watch people throw away hundreds just on a 0.4% chance at getting a single character they like or whatever. Being cucked out of the character you want isn't something they quit the game over because they'll just spend more until they get her. It's literally a gambling addiction, except instead of maybe winning something real you win pixels on a Chinese server.
>>1557143>>1557346Yeah I was going to say anything pay to win / get ahead is right up these retards alley. I saw a post that Langrisser pulled in millions and one dumbass posted that he hadn't even played the game in like months / years and came in and dropped $400. Grabbing a couple purchases here and there to support a game you got for free is fine but these people are addicts. Same types that support OF whores, I imagine.
>Japanese whales are single-handedly making the game successful
>>1557536i kneel
So is there anything "worth" spending for in this game? Everything ive seen so far seems meh for the prices but I'm still new so maybe I'm missing something
>>1557536as always
>>1558600Blessing of hope gives 2700 gems for $5. It's more efficient than any way of buying gems even with the first time purchase doubler.The Cornucopia's a bit of a mixed bag. At $11, it still gives more gems than buying without the first time doubler (680 vs. 800). The other stuff is... alright. 70k powder is helpful, but not enough to get a single piece of gear from 50 to 60. The coins, exp and dust are all still in abundance for me at level 54. The cornucopia weapons are good, but really need 5* (i.e. buying the pass 5 times). There's also a random trinket which is never bad.I wouldn't go for anything else unless you're really after extra stamina to powerlevel.
>>1558600selector and passes, maybe.
Stikk love the gameplay but the combination of gather hope luxite>worthless summons loop and ratcheting difficulty with artificial difficulty like placing grapple seekers is forcing me to metagame and pushing me away from the game.
>>1561759what is artificially difficult about grapple seekers? I barely even see them in any mode.
>>1557536Yet, no porn
How's this game for someone who doesn't log in daily and doesn't pay? Can I just do stuff with lower rarity/worse units?
>>1562479You can but you might find yourself looking for youtube guide quite often.
>>1562479There are videos of people clearing some of the hardest content in the game with only free low-tier units, so yeah it's possible. Takes a lot of trial and error (or following a step-cy-step guide) though.There's also the Spiral of Destinies game mode which is like a story mode that's mostly separate from the rest of the game. It doesn't rely on gacha and has no stamina limits.
>>1562513step-by-step*
>>1562513>doesn't rely on gachaTechnically you can bring gacha characters for easier runs...
>>1562517Yeah but you don't need to use the gacha to make use of that. You can just bring in some of the free units you get, and you get plenty of free units in SoD itself. You can even get units in SoD you can't get through gacha at all, like legendary versions of normal units.
>finally max out all the weapon trials>stuggled quite a bit with the lvl 65 bosses>it's okay because I'm only level 52, so I'm still ahead of the curve>out of curiousity, look up how other people are beating them>mfw niggas on Youtube are beating them with level 40 non-legendary units
>>1558600Not really outside maybe the monthly gems pass and the unit selector. The pull rates are not bad but getting dupes is really awful in the game since they are farmable and later upgrades take 2 or more copies of dupes. Thus, buying summon currency is quite inefficient in this game.Everything else offered by the packs are either farmable or does not provide enough to make a difference. The castella that let you open more skills is probably the most unique thing to buy since you can't easily farm it, but you don't really need them unless you are raising a bunch of units, or completely messed up your build. I'd pay for skins but there are only 2 now and one is behind the stupid wish system.
>>1545859I rolled Magnus on my guaranteed beginner. Is it over?
>>1563640Nah, Magnus is pretty useful. The tier lists for this game honestly don't matter much since different characters are good for different game modes. For example I've got Iggy who is low tier on almost every list, but he's been my MVP on Tower of Conquest more than a few times. And if you really need a top-tier tank, there's the Cocoa banner coming up next week.
>>1562513Thanks, I'll give this game a try then.
Damn the game should've had the trading post mechanic as a default feature in SoD. The new Elaman storyline is more fun than any of the others because of it. It could stand to be more complex but at least it's more interesting than just sending dudes out on combat missions every week.
>mission where you have to guard the border crossing while inspecting civilians>the civilians count as enemies for some retarded reason>when my flame sorceress inspects them, she automatically sets them on fire because of her passiveFucking hilarious.
>>1568046There's a similar one where you're distributing supplies to refugees and if you put her on top of Samantha at the start she'll set her on fire and Samantha will bitch at you about it. Thankfully I had teleport to warp her away before her turn started.
Is this a taiwanese game?
>>1570213They're based in Shanghai.
When's auguste.
>>1575655Gonna take a while. We'll get Acambe next (confirmed), after that it's probably either Saffiyah or Homa (or both), and after that Taair or Auguste.
>>1575716>We'll get Acambe next (confirmed)Oh my God, how long am I gonna have to wait for Saffiyah? Global is crazy.
>>1577297Looks like it'll be Acambe -> Saffiyah -> Auguste -> HomaWhich is kinda bad for me because I want Saffiyah, Auguste and Homa. Doubt I'll be able to get all three of them without whaling, since my luck hasn't been great so far.
>>1577846Jesus, how many Luxite can i get by speedrunning Spiral of Destinies?
>>1578303Not enough.
>>1577846>Which is kinda bad for me because I want Saffiyah, Auguste and Homa.Oh shit, I'm the same as you. This is gonna suck, I'm pretty sure I've had the worst luck of anyone still playing global. My 10k lux surely won't be enough as I've never gotten a banner character without hitting hard pity.
>Saffiyah next week.Fuck...
>>1584402I've got about 80 pulls saved up. Hopefully it'll be enough, but I'm not looking forward to having nothing left for the next character debut. I get that a game like this is designed around not giving people enough resources to do everything so you're pressured to spend real money, but it still feels bad.
Hag wife.
Kinda wish I had a Deck for this. Or a better phone with a controller attachment I guess
Damn this game is fucking boring. The town simulator mode is fun, but it always feels like I might as well play a real game.
>>1587049Right now the best content gameplay-wise is the Tower of Conquest IMO. High level Tower is the only game mode where you actually have to think about how to approach a level.Fool's Journey and Spiral of Destinies are basically just for the story, in terms of gameplay they don't have much to offer. And everything else is only there for the daily grind.
>>1586386I've had to skip pretty much every banner to avoid losing my guaranteed 180 debut pity before Saf gets here. Just a few more days...
>120 pulls on Saffiyah>get Inanna and XavierKill me.
>>1589491Rough. I got her in one x10 pull. Did have about 40 summons from previous banners as pity.
If I want a team that's good with acambe. should I get saffiyah? I really like the idea of positioning enemies and fucking them up.
>>1592201Acambe needs people to buff him and people to feed him NRG, especially if you don't have the Cornucopia Staff for NRG. So characters like Cocoa and Edda work really well with him.
>>1592201DESU you'd be better off running them on separate sides for TOA, unless you plan on/have enough rolls to also get Auguste (or don't mind sacking TOA until Rawiyah alter).
>>1589491>be me>start playing 2 days ago>get coco on my 30th beginner banner roll>get saffiyah on the first roll after that>get iggy soon after
>>1593337built for caging
>>1593337Are u having fun? Was thinking about starting too
>>1592201Safiyyah is great on her own, the character you really want for him is Taair and he's either after Auguste or after Homa.
The achievements on the Fireside chat are absolutely fucking ridiculous. 8 turns to handle giga-nigger enemies is retarded, fuck these dumb niggers for this.
>>1595129Have fun, the next event is about as enjoyable!
Is there a good place to look for guilds?
It was fun until it became a chore and then not fun, especially with everything being thrown at us. I hear it's only going to get worse. It's a shame, I even had 10 days left on my monthly.
>>1595262>>1595335Yeah, I'm out actually. I beat the one I was aiming for, and the next two have the same modifiers, but require massive AoE, hav revives, and after that you can have the joy of playing the same stage with the same 8 round time limit. I should have known when I saw videos of that future tower content this game was going to be retarded. These chink devs can go fuck themselves.
I wanted to know if there were good places to look for guilds that aren't just shitty and dead.
>>1595533join a /vg/ guild, I'm in Sorceress HatApply to it then reply to the OP or recruiter in /socg/ with the last 4 digits of your UID and mention the guild you are applying to along with your current profile picture.
>>1595335>>1595426Godspeed to both of you, and may you find a more fun game.
>>1595335>>1595426I feel you guys, I hate this Voyager event and haven't even tried the new one 'cause all I keep hearing is how hard it is. They're really squeezing me with all this limited time content too, I wanna take advantage of the cool training event that gives tons of exp from the daily dungeon because I'm tapped out on exp from bringing people to lv60, but I can't spare the stamina when the Voyager event gives insane amounts of other highly bottlenecked resources. I'm not uninstalling, but this is definitely the most unpleasant the game has been so far.
>>1596041Doing just a couple of runs in Fireside Chat without having all the modifiers maxed out (which is what makes it hard as balls) gives you a ton of Canned Octopus which helps with grinding. If you don't want to spend a lot of time on it, you can just do like two runs and get the most important rewards (the secret fates and the three items). Then you can focus on the Voyage of Discovery and focus on the Talent Materials which are going to be the most important in the long run. Neither of these events are worth 100%ing IMO unless you simply enjoy the challenge. Meanwhile Voyager's Conondrum just requires you to be in a guild that isn't shit and it takes like 20 seconds a day to complete, and the New Chapter event can be speedrun in under 5 minutes by just clearing repeatedly 0-8-2 in one turn. I agree that the pace of events is too high, especially having two high-difficulty ones like Fireside Chat and Voyage of Discovery running at the same time, but if you're not a completionist you can at least get the most important rewards in all of them with minimal effort.Also, I wouldn't worry too much about EXP since you'll get it passively anyway. If you already have a decent team, training more units isn't the highest priority. The Level-up Training and Rank-up Trial modes having 99 bonuses per day is a huge trap, you don't want to spend more stamina on them than necessary. Aside from hitting your dailies (which doesn't take much) and making sure to keep up with Weapon Trial and Memory Retrieval, focus your stamina on events and Star Trial.
>>1596083Thanks for the detailed breakdown bro, really appreciate it. I finished the Fool's Journey event, the guild one isn't an issue and I haven't done any extra runs on the level up campaign like ya said. I'm focusing stamina on Voyage of Discovery (I can't beat the boss on Diff 5 so I'm doing Diff 4) and trying to get all those 99 talent chests.For Fireside Chat, it immediately wanted me to select one of three difficulty levels (highest being lv55) and I just backed out; is that something I can change later? I'll check it out later today and get those most important rewards you mentioned.That just leaves the Elaman route in SoD, which I haven't touched. I have until Nov 5, I hope this route isn't as long as Iria Route, which is the only SoD run I've done since launch (got the good ending).
>>1596471>I can't beat the boss on Diff 5Remember that the final level is randomly chosen from a preset group. Some levels are hard as fuck, others are relatively easy. Since you only spend stamina if you win, you can just nope out on certain boss fights and restart the run. It costs a lot of time but this way you can finish level 5 with relative ease.In my opinion, the boss difficulty is as follows (hardest to easiest):>Agatha>Safiyyah + Nungal + Nergal>Gloria + Auguste>Rawiyah + Maitha + Faycal + Beryl>Miguel + Col>Wolf>LilyWill>NonoWill>TeadonBut of course it depends on which units you have available and which buffs you picked along the way.The Elaman route is fun, but it's not especially short. It's not any longer in terms of days spent, but once you get enough caravans rolling at once you'll have more battles to fight per day. On the bright side not every caravan results in a battle, otherwise it would be too tedious.
>>1596496Yeah, the only times I've made it to the end in Diff 5 it was Agatha, then Safiyyah+Garcia, then Agatha again, so I guess I'm really unlucky.Also, I remembered why I needed so much exp. I still have to do the final tarot and weapon trial stages (65, not the 70s that just came out) and that means having exp to level up like 10 low rarity characters I haven't built yet to follow the only video guides that don't use legendaries I don't have.
>>1595590I see I'm going to hold off to see if I want to keep playing. I like the game and I have the team I want to build but with the way stamina is gated it feels like the game doesn't even want me to play unless I spend money. It's a horrible system. I don't mind a casual play once a day kind of game but it also is expecting me to grind like 4 different events and the fucking story. I don't understand the logic.
>>1596843It was better if you started day 1 but even day 1 players are getting tired because of how hard the events are.
>>1596963I don't personally care how hard they are. I get it's a problem but I just want to experience the content which I can't because it's just something that requires a shitload of grinding.
