So she throws her allies in the way to protect herself and autorevives those who fall? Sounds useful but doesn't death reset buffs/stacks?
Also, setting Shade for all team's attack type is cool but probably not very useful.
>cue some dude in 2 days using it to 1tAF Lavoger or something

>>1104341
Shade resistance is relatively common on a lot of fights. If you run Alter Shion he'll make those enemies weak to Shade. I'm curious how Blood Contract will interact with AS Soira and AS Heena who redirect attacks to themselves. Does that take priority over Blood Contract? What if they have Blood Contract? Do they take x4 damage? She looks potentially really broken, but I think to some degree it will depend how all of her mechanics play off on other party members.

>>1104341
No they explicitly said they don't actually die so it doesn't reset statuses

They didn't show Iphi's free banner, did they? I wonder who else will be rate up.

>>1104510
I'm gonna guess Eva based on absolutely nothing, iven Melissa is Minalca's rate up.

>>1104516
She's on the paid banners, so I don't think Eva will be on the free one too.
Personally my guesses are solo banner, Daisy, or Ilulu AS, because of the whole unlife/purgatory connection.

>>1104398
That's not her coffin. That's the coffin she puts her enemies in when she's done killing them.

>>1104537
>Personally my guesses are solo banner, Daisy, or Ilulu AS, because of the whole unlife/purgatory connection.
Hopefully Daisy, could be Zeviro.

>>1104633
Really hope it's Daisy. Even if I don't get the new character, I won't say no to more shadow points.

>>1104633
I'm only missing Daisy, Ilulu, and Alma so I'm hoping for one of the former 2.

>>1104510
Based on the notice it won't be Eva, as her banner is being rerun, or Melissa, who has a paid guaranteed banner.
Based on that - NS/AS Nagi, the ruiner of all good banners.

>>1105078
you don't even need Necoco AS, Iphi can already do that with a second use of that skill

>>1105080
Iphi only does it for allies, Necoco AS does it for allies and enemies.
Necoco will also be able to use Dark Spirit Wisdom since Iphi might not have an equivalent, and having 2 characters able to make your party match stance lets Iphi set up knockback immunity while your other characters still use Shade attacks.

Have you ever wanted to just preemptively deal 99999 damage to your own character with a basic attack before?

Biting Shade Stance effects:
>Shade type attack damage increased
>Non-Shade type attack damage increased
typo? or just a smaller increase than shade damage
>Damage against resistanced increased
>Another Force Gauge fill method changes
>All Type attacks increase Another Force Gauge

And Blood Contract gives the characters Risktaker Lunatic just like Milsha's song does.

>>1105528
With her, it's basically like having a Flash Zone, especially since she changes everyone's Type to Shadow. In fact, with the other buffs she hands out (+50% Int/Power/Speed) she's basically better than Melissa or Hardy for first turn AF's, unless the enemy is specifically Null or Absorb to Shade.

With 5000 CS, I managed to roll Suzette ES and Iphi 5*. I got Melissa from the guaranteed paid banner, and used my SDE on pic related who will help buff my Flam. Overall, not a bad haul. Claude ES was the better choice but Nagi ES appeals to my fetishes. I have his NS so I'll just grind his codex's in the long run.

Spent 4k and got nothing, guess this is the price for getting Eva and Melissa on my first 10 roll during their debuts.

6k CS, got Shannon NS and Hozuki AS.

So at least I get a partial refund from manifest awards and a few more character quests to do.

How in the fuck do I update this app? Do I have to uninstall it and then download the new apk and then install the new apk? I assume the app updated but that I must do something to actually update it. I'm new and using emulator so AE isn't in the store like a normal app

>>1106084
Use QooApp.

>>1106085
Thank you that worked perfectly

For any new anons looking to reroll or even just getting into Another Eden (with the anniversary going on it's the perfect time to start), here are my Free-Banner Rankings.

>Rose Unseen
Biaka AS: 2/5; gimmicky but not in any gamebreaking way. She requires setup before each attack and for the single target to already be under 50% for the really attractive damage. The extra poison/pain damage might be relevant some day but I can't think of any fight where it would matter.
Cetie AS: 2/5; needs his manifest, and once he gets it he's a solid AF nuke, but he doesn't really stand out and other DPS can do his job better
>Total: 4/10

>Moonlight Flower Hismena
Moonlight Hismena: 5/5; god-tier, being able to fit in any slash/pierce/blunt/magic team with amazing damage, debuffs, and zone awakening.
Nagi: 4/5; solid with her true manifest, but requires beating the difficult TM fight. Nagi also lets you sidegrade her to her AS and ES, the former is similar to Biaka in requiring setup for her damage move (but contingent on being slower than the enemy, rather than the enemy being almost dead) while the latter sets Sea of Stars and is a great damage/support hybrid.
>Total: 9/10

>Fireside Cat
Necoco: 4/5; flexible damage/support/healer who works with any elemental zone.
Necoco AS: 5/5; cuts out the damage and reduces the healing to crank the support role to 11.
>Total: 9/10; both require zone setters for max usefulness, but Aisha sets 2 of them for free, you can get Wind for free with a Grasta or with Sevyn, and Necoco AS herself comes with Earth or you can upgrade Chiyo to AS.
(1/2)

>>1106237
>Noble Blossom Tsukiha
Noble Blossom: 5/5; top-tier Fire damage/support, zone awakener, extends Another Zone, and has end of turn heals based on fire attacks.
Tsukiha: 3/5; mediocre damage dealer, but she can be sidegraded to her AS (stronger than her NS but not standout) and her ES (a solid pierce zone damage+support, whose auto-pain on battle start alone can be worth using her especially in 1-1-1 dungeon clears)
>Total: 8/10

>Eva
Eva: 5/5; top-tier water/crystal mage who starts with lunatic already active on the front line, repeats her attacks, great self-buffs, and can inflict break
Tiramisu: 1/5; really fallen off in usefulness now that Tiramisu-But-Better aka 500k-fixed-damage-on-a-free-unit aka Noahxis exists.
>Total: 6/10

>Iphi
Iphi: 5/5; phenominal buffs and debuffs, her mere presence on the front row is a massive damage buff for the rest of your party, and she's a pseudo-healing inverse tank in that she redirects area damage to a single other party member, and raises them from the dead if they were to die. And if she absolutely must do damage herself, her main attack ignores defense.
Thillelille: 4/5; solid single target damage dealer, and can be sidegraded into a great AoE damage dealer.
>Total: 9/10

Lots of solid banners. Necoco and Tsukiha are really safe because regardless of which on-banner unit you get you can sidegrade to the other form by farming the materials.
Iphi and Hismena both have 2 strong on-banner units, although you'd rather get them than their bannermates.
Eva is the biggest gamble, with a high high and the lowest low.
And Biaka's banner is going away soon, which should be a disappointment to absolutely nobody.

>>1105984
Solid fucking choice. Nagi ES is really good, plus she's an extremely cute character. I still use her for lots of superboss clears. Her only real drawback is that it takes a bit to get the AF gauge fully charged, and she has to set Seat of Stars zone by swapping in with her VC. Also, Crystal weakness tends to be fairly rare, as is Crystal Resistance so even you can't often use Alter Shion to swap for the weakness. But now with characters like Iphi and Alter Tsukiha, who can change the element on her attacks, I think she'll be even more useful.

>>1106268
>>1105984
Water/Staff also has tons of free support between Mayu and Aisha. As long as boss doesn't null magic or water, you can generally set Mayu up for mitigation (use her like Kid and spam her att skill on t1AF to build up her buff increasing stacks) and pound them down with Flamm/Eva/Nagi.

>>1106237
>>1106239
Actually going to expand on this for brand new players; these rankings are mostly for "who's strong and who's trash endgame" but I also understand that some characters have trash early skills, but great lategame skills (or vice versa)
So I'll also rate their level 1~60s, in case any are notable for being particularly helpful early on.

>Biaka AS
Bad early levels
>Cetie AS
Bad early levels

>Moonlight Flower
Great early levels, with a strong preemptive AoE that inflicts Weapon Break, a great buff, a great debuff, and a niche skill that does 5x damage if the enemy resists it. Also she gives your party 1 guaranteed crit on battle start.
>Nagi
Bad early levels

>Necoco and Necoco AS
Necoco NS, but not AS, gives your party 1 guaranteed crit on battle start, like Moonlight Flower.
Both NS and AS Necoco have the same early levels, which include MP regen+status healing, physical+type resist, [element] buff+debuff which matches zone but defaults to earth, and an... okay damaging move. Decent early levels, but won't be winning any damage awards.

>Noble Blossom
Solid early levels, with a regen+damage shield that can also give MP regen, a great buff, a top tier fire buff+debuff, the ability to set Fire Zone, to awaken zone, to extend the zone's awakening, and to change your partys' element to Fire. She's only really missing her big damage move.
>Tsukiha
Bad early levels

>>1106347
>Eva
Great early levels, with a decent AoE that also functions as a strong single target nuke that attacks again if the target is above 50% health, a solid water/crystal buff that restores hp, and which doubles in effectiveness in Lunatic up to a full heal+granting Mental Focus, an MP restore skill, a crystal/water debuff that attacks again, and a weak skill that does 20x damage if the enemy resists magic, while also debuffing power and int if they have more than 50% hp
>Tiramisu
Great early levels, with a fixed (up to) 5,000 damage for 12 MP, and a fixed (up to) 15,000 damage for 23 MP. None of her other skills really matter, just reach the Spirit stat benchmark for her Summoner's Ritual/Gift and deal fixed damage ignoring defenses.

But seriously, Noahxis is free if you do the Time Maze a few times after chapter 22, with solid skills in addition to the fixed damage one, please get him instead of chasing Tiramisu.

>Iphi
Her Blood Contract gimmick is innate from level 1. Her early attack is preemptive, restores the party's HP by a fixed 20%, deals 5x damage on the first turn, and can inflict sleep. A much more solid skill in the early game than at endgame. Her buff is great; 50% PWR+INT+SPD and the rare (and niche) knockback immunity. Her debuff is solid, either 15% or 25% (depending on if you're using the 1st or 2nd version of it) debuff to PWR, INT, SPD, and Type Resist and it's preemptive. The Pain/Poison isn't going to be too relevant early on unless you pull someone like Suzette or Felmina off-banner who can exploit Pain/Poison naturally. The delayed status cure and immunity might be useful for some bosses, and if nothing else she can set Shade Zone and then spam the move to make your entire party's skills become Shade element.
Really strong start.
>Thillelille
Great early levels, with a 50% Speed and Phys Resist debuff, a solid self-buff for Fire and Shade attacks, and a great damaging move if you meet the HP+Lunatic conditionals.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HERE'S YOUR EXCLUSIVE CHARACTER
>soul crushing tragedy in the character quests
I mean 3/3 so far, was not expecting Iphi's to hit so hard.

>>1106532
It was a mistake doing that second quest thinking I could finish it then get a good night's sleep right after.

>>1106538
Very surprised she didn't have Lovesick or Funeral added to her personalities after the third quest.

>>1106532
A bitch and a groomer
I want her as my wife

>>1106635
I swear 30% of her dialogue is lifted directly from Kisunomonogatari.

How are dupes handled in this game? The smart thing to do is to wait the 10 days before I pull for Iphi, right?

>>1106642
Dupes get you additional Light/Shadow points for the character, which at certain thresholds grant stat bonuses or additional skill/equipment slots. Helpful over the long run but not something you should be actively chasing.
Free characters can increase their l/s points by running certain dungeons once you unlock the dailies, which is one of the reasons why Aldo remains competent if not meta.

>>1106642
For the second question, early on you'll be getting so many stones that it's not worth it to be stingy. Rush the main story up to the point where the crossovers open up, then rotate those and the main story.
Don't worry about grinding for tomes/scripts/money/weapons - all of that shit has been more or less negated by late game content (for instance, before last year people would have to grind for days for a single piece of fully upgraded endgame equipment. Now you can get 2-4 from a single two hour run of the roguelike dungeon, which isn't even the most efficient way to use).

>>1106645
>>1106648
Cool, thank you anon

>>1106532
the only soul crushing tragedy i got were my pulls.

>>1106645
Aldo is a special case, after chapter 83 he gets some huge buffs to his skills depending on his light level.

I took our GL-first units plus Curio and backrow healer Uquaji to bully Wyverus, since I've only ever T1AF'd him with Kikyo AS and Victor before.
Wyverus Turn 1 is the perfect situation for Iphi, since he does 3 AoEs which will normally kill everyone but Iphi which will get her to max Seance stacks immediately.
I opted to give Curio and Melissa Hold Ground so Melissa could use Taunt turn 2 to take the triple single target attack for the third Seance, with Iphi wearing the Giant's Badge so her buff would come after Melissa died.
Then it was just a matter of Shade Resist Big Numbers, with Awakened Shade Zone, Transient Glory, Walpurgisnacht, and Lucent Magi being a fair and balanced 20x damage skill.

Overall, Iphi's already one of the most fun characters in Another Eden, and I can't wait to see all of the superbosses and boss rush stages that she and Blood Contract can fuck with.

>>1106738
I need to run that more to try and get the healing stuff for Uquaji.

Damn. If the bat kept appearing after taking Iphi out of the party, I could say with near certainty that the bat is a buddy that simply isn't functional because the system isn't fully implemented in GL yet, but since it only appears when she's in the party it might just be a graphical glitch where they forgot to add the "backrow characters are invisible" flag to the bat.
It could still be a buddy of course, but I can't just come out and say "IT'S HAPPENING".
Even with the bat itself showing up on the roadmap.

>>1106347
I'm still very new and I'm taking the game at a very leisurely comfy pace, but I still cannot properly gauge the gem income and I'm someone who is typically a bit of a hoarder in other gachas I've played

I have Iphi, and Hismena, and I got a Black Clad Sw. somewhere in there too. These already seem to be insanely overpowered for where I am in the story, but is this even sort of a cohesive team? Is there anyone on this banner who is an additional "must pull" for a 4th slot, like this Necoco person? Like I said I'm normally a hoarder, and I probably want to use some of the free units in this game eventually just for fun, but I wouldn't mind summoning a little more if it would build me 1 cohesive team. If my team is already a hodgepodge that doesn't work together in the end game, then this hypothetical 4th character wouldn't really matter to me

>>1108484
>1 cohesive team.
That's not really how this game works. You're going to be swapping characters a ton, especially at late game content.
For now the best thing you can do is roll for Necoco until you get one of her forms (meaning her 4* or either of her two 5*s), then play normally and gather the crossover characters.
The Chrono Cross chars (mostly Kid and Harle) are two of the best support units in the game and are widely used even by whales.
As for hoarding, the next "need to roll" banner isn't for a few months, which will be ES Mariel. The banners up right now are as good if not better than any that will come for the next few months, so you'll have time to replenish your stones.

>>1108490
>That's not really how this game works
Oh, interesting. I figured there'd probably be a few teams I'd be rotating through at end game depending on what I'm doing, but I wanted (if these characters have synergy) to maybe get a 4th that way I have at least 1 cohesive/synergistic squad going. That's cool about Kid and Harle, because I like both of them, and thanks for the heads up about how far away the next must pull is. I'll roll for the Necoco after all

Oh, and while on the topic of hoarding, this game doesn't seem to have a pity system? Or does it and I'm just too new to recognize it? I would prefer to have 1-2 pities saved for "emergencies", but it doesn't even seem like that's a thing here

>>1108496
No pities, the listed rates are the rates.

>>1108496
Necoco has synergy with everyone, as long as there's a stance active.

Necoco AS brings new life to a lot of characters that used to be held back

>>1108632
>Icicle Zorch but x element
You love to see it.

>>1108658
Absolutely, I might even use my star dream on alma just so I can have crystal zorch too.

Is there a possibility we'll get another SDE when the new Main Story Chapter arrives? It's rather unnecessary for me but seeing bigger numbers makes me feel warm inside.

>>1108862
It's not very likely, so I wouldn't count on it, but there is a possibility.

>>1108864
If it doesn't oh well. I'm pretty sure Minalca is going to do some big numbers anyways.

Violet lancer underrated for dungeons and exploring in general. Turn 0 mp for all chars is a huge qol plus generally being good. And I like who she is

>>1109230
I see her rated well whenever people talk about her. In fact for dungeons I see her as overrated.
0 MP consumption has been a thing for a while, between Tsubame AS, Flammelapis, Cup of Invincibility Grasta, and most recently Noahxis.
If VL released during the P5 collab era, where the 0 MP clear meta was from VC attacks like Joker and Hismena, then she would absolutely deserve a spot in history, but being the 3rd or 4th gacha unit to accomplish a similar thing, when the Grasta had already existed for a while and with Noahxis being a free option soon after, she's not much more than a footnote.
Her Another Sense for superbosses, however, that's where she really carves her own niche.
