The Elite 11 are on their way!Starting with Cerna the Merchant!
Where do I get these elite fragments
>>1259990By watching Cait Ads. You need 100 elite fragments to get Cerna and any future Elite 4-Stars. Assuming that each one gets you a single fragment, and you’re watching 8 ads a day, it’ll take you 13 days to get her in your party.
butt
By the by. Here’s the latest scoop:>8/23 - Krauser, Traveler of Memory A wind-type merchant. He can use a powerful attack that can increase his power for two turns. And can use an attack that can increase his hits for two turns...but can only use them once per battle.>8/30 - Rondo, Traveler of Memory A light-type warrior. His sword attacks can also hit light weaknesses. The first of his kind.>9/06 - Trinity of LightStarring Z’aanta, Eliza and Hasumi. (Millard? Who the hell is that?). The final pull in the step-up guarantees you get one of these three!
>>12600058/30 is also gonna be when Bestower of All 3 hits. This will count towards both August AND September (Bestower of All 4 hits on October).We’ll also get some improved gifts from Cait ads, Memory Fragments, Wisdom Orbs, etc.Also extra Feats which award us some stuff. And even some rubies too.We’ll also be able to acquire Cerna by watching ads and getting 100 fragments.But one other thing is that we get Awakening Stones for 15 of our 4-Stars:>Trish, Sigurd, Kurtz, Noelle and Meena through Fortune’s Gameboard>Devin, Cless, Merrit, Cedric, Heinz and Cerna through Historic Fragments>Pia, Rita, Bertrand and Fabio through Memory ShardsTheir Awakening Stones will allow you to get them up to A4.
what do you guys play this on? my chink shit tablet isnt cutting it
>>1260060Samsung Galaxy A32 5G, never had issues since launch.>>1259983Oh shit! Looks like that one dude from last thread won't be quitting after all! Nice.
>>1260060My gaming phone with built in macros kek
>>1260020I should also mention this. Bestower of All 3 takes place in Hell Edoras Castle where you can get Thorned Hellweapons. One thing I can say. We’re getting a SHITTON of War Souls in the Exchange. Including Krauser and Rondo, the Champions of Memory and the Marine Travelers.
is it safe to convert my guide stone shards into gold guide stones?
>>1260060Samsung S8, although I got it mainly for Dragalia.
>>1259983>watching adsDid they fix the unskippable vertical ads yet? I never touched it since they introduced them last April. Did they at least enabled the fucking skip tickets?
>>1260231I haven’t had any Vertical ads. So I don’t know about that one.But the skip tickets won’t be available until until NEXT Wednesday. And you’ll need one of the passes to get those.
using 300 rubies and getting nothing, not even a 4.5 is soul crushing
>>1260376If you’re going free-to-play, then don’t pull unless it’s to spark a character.If you’re using paid rubies, do the Step-up. You’ll at least get something out of it.
>>1260382NO
>>1260386Then don’t cry about not getting anything. Not all 10-pulls yield a 5-Star. Sometimes you need to do it twice. Sometimes you need to do it 10 times. And sometimes you either go for the spark or cut your losses.
>>1260395Don't be an asshole, he's not wrong that getting fuckall from a 10 pull feels like shit. This is true whether you have enough to get pity or not. The rates suck ass considering how scarce rubies are.
>>1260005>Krauser and Rondo releasing only one week apartThis is fucking terrifying. I know they've been really dragging their feet with releasing MTs, but speeding it up like this means Rinyuu will probably come immediately before Triangle Strategy or immediately after. I'm so, so fucked.
>>1260454You're not fucked. Just save up and pity her on the first MT banner with a featured character you want after you have the rubies.
>>1260454Worry not.Levina comes before Rinyu.
>>1260455Fug, that'd cost 6000 instead of 4500. With how many banners are coming up, idk when I'll hit 6k again, if ever. The next must pull MT for me is...Tatloch, who came a month and a half after Rinyuu in JP. Wait, shit, she's not an MT, she's an MC. Let's see, next would be the super special Bargello+Sonia banner, though I remember there being something weird about that banner and its pity. That came to JP last Halloween. After that would be the Elrica+Alaune EX banner. I guess I'll just keep saving rubies and see how things pan out, but all I know is I gotta get all the TS collab characters as that collab was the #1 thing I asked for on the CBT feedback survey.>>1260482I know, and while she's another unfortunate skip for me (like the character and she'd help with my worst element), if they keep up that pace it'd be Levina in the first week of September, Rinyuu in the second and Triangle Strategy in the third week. Maybe they'll pump the brakes a lil bit after releasing 2 back to back MTs though.On a completely unrelated note, if the anon from last thread who can farm Yan Long in 5 turns is around, could you walk me through your team/actions? I wanna farm him next now that my race to clear Master Training is over.
>>1260504First week of September is the Trinity of Light featuring Hasumi, Z’aanta and Eliza.Levina might appear on the second week of September. Who can say? Third week of September’s the week of the next update and probably the Triangle Strategy/Master of All Gameboard.Leaks should be arriving next week though. So we’ll know for sure then.
>>1260504You'll want to break him on the 4th turn and kill him on the 5th. He follows a very predictable set pattern, but since you'll be breaking him on his fourth turn, you only need to memorize what he does in the first three turns.Turn 1: Yan Long does nothing.Turn 2: Yan Long targets a unit with Twofold Bash and then follows it up with Broad Bash which hits your front row. In my experience, this turn never kills (even if he crits), but if you're finding that it does, put some max HP accessories on.Turn 3: This is the turn you need to look out for. He uses Blossoming Ice which lowers staff resistance, and then follows it up with Draconic Bash. If Draconic Bash kills a major DPS unit, you might want to reset.There are multiple ways people have avoided losing a unit to turn 3. Managing speed so that you can swap units between his actions (since Bash isn't dangerous without the staff resistance down) can be an option if your setup allows for it. Fiore EX is okay if you have her, though in my personal opinion Olberic is the superior choice as he can hit sword and spear weakness, and you'll want normal Fiore to apply defense down with Crumbling Cut anyways. Sorry, if this explanation wasn't very good. I've uploaded a clear on Youtube but the quality is pretty bad. And I don't have A2, I accomplished this with general pool warriors and Richard holding soul weapons. Fortune weapons didn't make my clear any faster, though they did make it much, much more consistent (before I wouldn't have enough DPS if Richard didn't land his sword resist down, now it's not necessary).
>>1260637Also Pia is worth bringing along for this fight. She can either shave shields on turn 2 with 4x spear attack and use her ultimate right after (which is basically Lynette's but only physical) or help cap physical attack up with Take Command and Ultimate right after. Pia is also used in spear-based clears because I believe she is the only character that can inflict spear resistance down. You'll also want Fiore or somebody who can lower defense down while dealing damage on the fourth turn. I believe A2 also has a move like her Crumbling Cut (I wouldn't know, because I don't have her). Bringing units that can hit light weakness to the front on turn 3 is also a very common strategy to shave shields.
I can't think of any other pointers right now. Uh...If you're a whale that has Auguste A4, Joshua, and A2, it is possible to three-turn Yan Long.
whats the strategy with hunts? load them up to 6/7 and then use one a day unit i pull an on banner unit or its a +10 event?
>>1260683There are two ways to approach Hunts:First off is default. Raise your Hunt tickets up to seven then do three hunts a day, one from Normal, one from Expert, and one from Otherworldly (Bravely Default).The Second is the Promo style. If you have a new player you definitely want on your team, this is the way to go: pull the traveler IMMEDIATELY on Wednesday, the day of release. Once you have him, dump all 21 of your tickets. Your promoted traveler will receive +10 Guidestones for each normal and expert hunt, for a grand total of 245 Guidestones at once. The promotion lasts for five days, meaning it ends on Monday. So build your tickets up to 5 and on Monday use them up again. That’s 175 more Guidestones for your promo traveler, giving you a grand total of 420 Guidestones for the Traveler with the promotion, and 180 for everyone else.Of course with this strategy, you’ll need to wait a week to build your Hunt tickets back up afterwards.
>>1260683In addition to what >>1260683 said: make a team of 8 and call it “Hunting Gold”. Bounce point if the influence points were 600 - preferably Fames-. If one reached level 99 pull him / her out for someone else.
Can we buy infernal forest polishstone somewhere instead of having to grind it?
>>1261017Maybe with the next soul shop update. For now I don't think there's any other way than grinding hell Valore mobs.
herminia makes me feel funny
Soul weapon's damage increase got a separate dmg cap, right?
Welp. No Krauser for me. One full round and what do I get? Alfyn (A2) and Harley (A1).Decided to go for the spark instead.And now With Fiore EX (A2) and Sofia EX (A3), I can finally close the book on the Marine EX girls...until next year.
Krauser is only 150 to pity, is that typical for all Memory Travelers while on banner?
>>1261360Yep. 150 for the featured character. 200 for the other Travelers of Memory.
>>1261365are the the Memory Travelers also back on banner? My plan is to wait for Elrica, hope I get her on banner and then pity Rinyuu
will we ever get 100 for 4.5 pity again?
>>1261370??? They never left.Any time a new Traveler of Memory pops up, you always have a chance to get one of the previous ones (at the same rate as a regular Chance Encounter).
>>1261538Except bargello and sonia iirc. Well, their banner isn't called memory traveller in jp in the first place.
>>1260637Thanks!>Fiore EX is okay if you have her, though in my personal opinion Olberic is the superior choice as he can hit sword and spear weakness, and you'll want normal Fiore to apply defense down with Crumbling Cut anyways. I have Olberic but he's not A1 so I hope he's enough. Though if he's using 3 BP on turn 3 to Defend the party, doesn't that mean he can't properly contribute damage to the kill?>Sorry, if this explanation wasn't very good. I've uploaded a clear on Youtube but the quality is pretty bad. I don't care how bad it is so long as the moves being used can be read, so I'd really appreciate seeing the team in action. Speaking of, could you post the team along with skills and gear?>>1260641Oh wow, I didn't know Pia's ult was that amazing! I guess I should max it, but it'll takes weeks to get all the wisdom orbs for that...Yeah, A2 has a def down ST nuke, but it's dagger and not sword so it won't hit weakness.>>1260643I'm no whale, I'm not even a light spender. I do have Joshua and A2 (A2) though. No Auguste, sadly. Josh is still level 80, too.>>1261124Yes, the added effect of hell weapons doing more damage in Hell and fortune weapons doing more damage in Orsterra is a damage bonus that stacks with everything else.
>>1261286Guys...I did it. I finally got the bastard.I got Alfyn (A2)I got Harley (A1)I got Kouren (Completed + 1)I even got Joshua!And at long last! I got Krauser!Now.. for one brief shining moment. I have all the travelers!
>feintz's accessory is kinda weak>sword iv is a lot of work for less atk than a soul weapon and no bonus damagefeintz deserves better
>>1261608So...after 10 10-pulls, should I try to go for the spark? Or would it be better to just hold off for other people?
>>1261705yeah its only 15 pulls for spark 5 more pulls, cant get cheaper than that
>tfw can't pull for Krauser because not a whaleFeels bad man
>>1261646Feintz has higher attack (550 Vs 530)and grade compared to Soul Weapons. The passive is also great on characters who don’t have multihit skills like Olberic.
>>1261711of course you can still pull for Krauser, friend! All you need are 6,000 non-whale rubies :)
Wait, did we get the 3 star challenge rubies yet?
>>1261707Problem is I would need to activate my whale powers once more. Bad I’m nearly cleaned out. And I could do it too...but that’s a power I could use for a future banner.>>12619604500 actually.>>1261984Not yet. And thank God for that. I could really use those rubies right now.
>>1261960Like the other guy said, it's "only" 4500 free rubies...and I have 1700. Which is still a fair bit considering I had to blow my entire load of 6000 pitying Fiore EX, but still, no way can I pull for Krauser now. The only reason why I even have this many is because I never fought any of the lv100 NPCs and I blazed through them to finish the limited time Master Training missions.>>1259983When exactly is Cerna and elite fragments being added to the game?
>>1262491Wednesday. 8/30. That’s when the next update hits.You’ll get elite fragments as Ad gifts. You get them in either batches of 5 or 10. Get 100 and you get your Elite 4-Star. Good luck!
LEVELING UP FUCKINGS SUCKS
Goddamn... I’ve just about done everything.I now have every traveler in my party. All 124 of them, Krauser included.I’ve mastered the Arena Champs. Leveled them to 100 and got their accessories.I’ve completed all the towers including the Ultimate Tower and the Master Tower in its current state.The story...of course is caught up with.Defeated the Black Dragon and the Red Dragon.The L80 Veterans and the L100 Masters have been trounced..I even grinder out the L90 Champions and got their accessories...Twice!All that’s left is for me to defeat the Dual Veterans in Hell Cragspear and He’ll ValoreAnd yet I’ve got the Devil over my shoulder telling me to pull for Krauser again. Even though I got him. Get him to A2, maybe even with Ultimate 10. Go for the spark.But maaaan...I need to save up my money. And I’m almost cleaned out of rubies. Pray for me boys...
>>1262571DO IT
>>1262571Hell Cragspear should be much easier with Krauser, right? People were already beating them with Gilderoy and W'ludai.(as for me, I still have to finish getting Largo to level 100... but his fight is such a slog for me to do. Easily the most un-fun Arena fight to learn, it's literally just don't hit past specific HP threshold and damage check)
>>1262658I feel your pain. Largo was the hardest one for me. You just gotta find a strategy that works. This was the one I ended up going with:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CvXdaFx_9lk
By the way, for those of you wondering, here are the Elite Eleven, a group of extra 4-Star Travelers that got released alongside certain 5-Stars early on in JP but are only NOW getting released starting with Cerna next week:* Jorn - Warrior/Dark* Cerna - Merchant/Dark* Durand - Thief/Light* Cornelia - Apothecary/Thunder* Narr - Hunter/Dark* Lolo - Hunter/Light* Efrain - Cleric/Fire* Brigitte - Cleric* Kenneth - Scholar/Ice* Levan - Scholar/Light* Paula - Dancer/DarkThis brings the total amount of 4-Stars to 43. And from the looks of it, we’ll be getting their Awakening Stones released in three batches.
ow my rubies
>>1262772Insane accessory though, not a bad one to go for
>>1262772Did you spark yet?
should i buy that pass for a year so i can a4 my fiore by the time the rerun happens haha
>>1262777honestly i kinda wanted to mainly spoil my fiore with a shiny IV and her personal accessory, but yeah it's absolutely insane>>1262780yep 220 guidances total, including one paid step up
>>1262802I lucked out and managed to get Fiore EX and Sofia EX to A2. But when it was time to spark, I went for Sofia, since it would get her closer to an A4.
>>1262571>Get him to A2, maybe even with Ultimate 10.Do it, Krauser NEES u10. That's why he's considered a whale character, you need those dupes. Maxing his ultimate is as important to him as it is to Lynette, it's integral to his kit.
>>1262843One turn to set up power one turn to set up multi then break nuke and after break ult and repeat. He then needs additional turns in the back to recharge his sp to full before he can go another round. By the time he's ready for a third cycle the fight will be over. His ult 10 is not nearly as important to him as Lynette's is to her.
>>1262772I'd have been happy with just one. Maybe next year.
>>1261605>though if he's using 3 BP on turn 3 to Defend the party, doesn't that mean he can't properly contribute damage to the kill?If he's level 90 or above he should have at least 2 BP left after defending on turn 3. He should still be very well capable of doing damage as long as he has a decent sword on him.
>>1262921SP's not as much of an issue in the future with people who reduce SP costs and grant more SP regen and the 50+ turn fights in JP make longevity something to value. We're not always gonna be one break clearing like we are now. Sure that's looking ahead, but by the time Krauser wants more longevity the most and your two points are moot, his dupes will be unavailable. The only other character I think of off the top of my head that relies on his u10 to enable his kit is Auguste, but he has other options like kill/revive cycling allies while Krauser doesn't.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPd2aMRdQ9g&ab_channel=edcaousI think I found Anon's clear! Thanks for recording this and showing gear! Fug, I don't have A1 on Olberic, I don't have Lars (only warrior in the game I'm missing) and I don't have Feintz Blade IV. I won't have Lars' priority break which I see used in a lot of sword weak clears, but maybe I can just outspeed with A2? She can also use Double Wide Burst to break/shield crack on turns where sword weakness is locked. Shoot, not sure if I'll have a second to spare these next three days to try testing but maybe this will finally be the key to cracking this bastard!
Wait, shit, no, this won't work with A2 instead of Lars. She needs to take a turn to set up Berserk. Back to the drawing board...maybe I should use my anniversary selector on Lars instead of Ophilia. But I've missed nearly every 5* cleric out there, I think I need her more. Yet every clear of the content that gives me the most trouble is using Lars, whether it be Yan Long or Ruby Dragon or some of the Master Training stuff.
ahhh, mou, suGOKU TANOSHIMI
>>1263656I miss this chick, that line's delivery is grand. But at the same time, I don't want another arena champ anytime soon. The scars Largo left still won't heal.
>>1263659You forget that there are NINE Arena Champions in this game.
>>1262921What move set would you recommend if Krauser reaches A2?
i didnt want to do this, but now i have no choice:what do we use to macro the nut battle?
>>1263876Can’t help you there. I did the nut battle without Macro.
>>1263876I did it on Bluestacks.
At this point I'm down to doing desperation single pulls for Fiore. At least I didn't come out completely empty handed, but would have appreciated Fiore.
>>1264127That’s kinda what I’m doing for Krauser. I only have three more pulls before the spark. How many before you spark Fiore?
>>1264260I won't have enough for pity before the banner is gone so it's just hopes and prayers at this point.
>>1263497So in a marathon fight he goes from not being able to do his combo for 40 turns to not being able to do his combo for 35 turns. Great. He doesn't need it in a short fight and you won't even notice it in a long fight. In conclusion: meh.
So if I had to choose between using Ultra Tempest Spear (increased Potency) and Ultra Stalwart Spear (+1 Attack Count), which would be the better of the two?
>>1259983Hold the fuck up!! I missed an elite? I got everyone else in the second floor except for one. Where is that?
>>1264301the world map will tell you
>>1264297one is for damage, the other is for shields
>>1264449I know. But I can’t necessarily go with both. Which one would be better to go with?
>>1264467Wouldn't that depend on what you're fighting? If you need extra breaking power go for that, if you need damage go for damage.
>>1264548Suppose I’m just going for general trash mobs and grinding for Exp or materials.I can always adjust the moves when I’m doing a battle against a particularly hard opponent.
>>1264080how did you get blue stacks to work? it always force closes the app for me
>>1264589I always favor break power on general content teams. Elites tend to be dead as soon as you can break them anyway.>>1264602You need to create a Pie 64-bit instance and have Hyper-V enabled on your computer, just google how to do that. Sometimes it still hangs before the title screen but restarting the emulator and/or closing and reopening the app repeatedly tends to fix it.
Am I the only one who noticed this oddity?>Tempest Spear - 2 hit spear attack which hits all.>Stalwart Spear - Single hit single target spear attack>Stalwart Tempest Spear - Single hit single target spear attack... but better.So...What’s the point of Stalwart Spear then?
>>1266761nothing really, they always do that shit, look at kersjes skills for some reason the devs think most people will be using the units at level 43 or some shit
>wasnt paying attention>used 300 on the krauser banner instead of the beach oneis this guy any good....wish it was a fiore haha....
>>1266801Did you at least get him?
>>1266839yeah haha...
>>1266875That's great, if you got him with just 300 rubies. He is a good enough unit.
>>1266875You got the Devil’s luck. If I had gotten him in a single day 10-pull I wouldn’t be gunning for a spark. Then again, once I spark, I’ll have the bastard at A2, making him a great deal more viable for the fight.Also, once Torch Points come into play, he’s got a special passive which allows him to bust the Damage Cap by 100,000 HP. Make of that what you will.
>>1266801Krauser right now in JP is absolutely cracked. He got incredible buffs and now he beats Leon by a mile.
anons, i need your helpi've been searching for something for a while now, as part of a rite of passage from my village. i've already figured out its weakness, for you see what i'm hunting for is...a spouse. i've planned it all out and what i need to do is retrieve an item from a corrupt noble but don't have the courage to do so alone. can i count on your assistance?
>>1267551I was okay reading this the first time then every 3 star had repeating stories....
>>1267523Did they give him a rerun when he got buffed? Have any of the MTs gotten reruns in JP? I can't afford to go for Krauser now, but maybe next year...
>>1267795I was so high when I finished most of the 3* stories that I don't think I ever noticed lol
>>1267807go for him now if you want him, you might not even be playing next year....
anyone got another link to the maps? the regular doesn't have the newer stuff
>>1267807Yes, Krauser and Solon both got a rerun alongside the update that came with their buffs.>>1264263In long fights where you focus on a boss's spear weakness, bringing Krauser along will shorten that fight significantly. Here's an example of JP Krauser being used in a "long fight":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8y3jGecEwwBeing able Recoup twice and use his combo one more time goes a long way, especially when there aren't a lot of good offensive merchants to begin with and none of them can hit as hard as he does. I'd absolutely go for the u10.
>somehow managed to get tytos, auguste, fiore, sophia and kauser>plus alfyn from the unit select freebie>still have a ton of units in the hunt pipeline>even if i use my gold guidestones to max them i wont have the nuts to level them upJUST
>>1267939You get the same effects of having him at ult 10 by just pulling for Bargello as evidenced in your linked video since he doesn't have ult 10 there anyways. Resources spent chasing his ult 10 are resources not spent better elsewhere.
Welp. I did it. I finally got the spark.At Awakening II no less
>>1263548I didn't expect you to find it after I unlisted it earlier that day... Well, I don't have A2, but can't you berserk mode turn 1 and shave 8 shields w/ double wide burst the next two turns? Lars only gets to shave 5 shields before switching with Eliza on turn 3, so I think she can replace Lars pretty easily. Especially when Trifold Slash on turn 4 hits 8 times instead of Lars' 5, and A2 in general does more damage than Lars.
Who should I pull for / is more relevant between Rinyuu and FiorEX?
>a3 sophia>only one fiorenice rates
>>1268652I would say Rinyu’s the more relevant of the two. She can constantly heal you while she’s sitting in the back row.Fiore EX can block single or random attacks but it’s your guess as to whether or not you’re dealing with physical or elemental attacks.
just to put it out there, i am guessing that my millard can be put in the back of the hunt line?
anyone got a team to go through the bonfires for gold farming?
>cless' storythe hell was that? i feel like i'm missing a ton of lore was this another mainline offshoot that i'm forgetting?
>>1269110When your level is high enough, just go with a well balanced team to cover every weakness. If you got more than one, switch out and use a different team. Continue this until your teams run out of SP. Then rest, rinse and repeat.
>>1267939>Yes, Krauser and Solon both got a rerun alongside the update that came with their buffs.Excellent, thank you! They're both guys I'd like to have 'cause I like all the story characters, but they're not my favourites so I'm skipping them for now.Completely unrelated, but I bought awakening stones for Tikilen and Yunnie this week without thinking even though I have them both at A4 and U10. Is there any use for these duplicate stones in the future, or can I spend my warrior/hunter tokens on other things like the wisdom orbs I'm constantly running out of?
>>1268623I found it through a link you included in your own comment on a previous version of that vid that wasn't unlisted.Thanks, you've inspired me to give it a go with A2, but I'll pretty busy until September 1st so arena grinding will have to wait.>>1268921Yeah, he's sadly one of the worst 5 stars and could really use a major rework and buffs.
>>1269110https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GTnePwS5LM&ab_channel=cotc_grindThis is my daily routine for farming leaves. I didn't make the vid, but I can copy it perfectly.
>>1260428>Don't be an asshole, he's not wrong that getting fuckall from a 10 pull feels like shit. This is true whether you have enough to get pity or not. The rates suck ass considering how scarce rubies are.Boohoo faggot don't make poor rolling decisions that and you won't feel so bad
>>1269390I'm glad you're proud about getting fucked in the ass by big corporations, but the rest of us here are actually sane people so please just put on your dunce cap and go sit in the corner over there.
>>1269188Nope. Well, if you haven't gotten them to level 100/gotten their accessory, you can trade them in the arena exchange for fragments. I might do that with Largo.
no i will NOT save 6000 rubies before i pull on a banner
>>1269643Based and spend 4000 rubies for one copy of Lionel pilled.
>>1269669you WILL aplogize to Lionel once he gets his upgrades
>>1269674>auto-provoke while above 50% HPNice, now he can actually act as a tank. Now let's see that skill–>475 ST Sword Nuke that costs 200SPWTF? Why would you use all of his SP when he needs it to buff his defenses?His passive is nice QoL, but his new skill is worse than Guardian Rage, which at least can hit above cap due to being divided into two hits and doesn't require his entire SP pool.
>>1269643Absolutely based. Never had more than like 1500 rubies at once and I've cleared everything except the Hell Cragspear duo.
The cost to spark is too highThe monetary cost of the rubies is too highThe rate we get free rubies is too lowsaving up 6000 is just insane
I don’t even have 300 rubies thanks to me sparking three banners in a row. Gonna have to skip Rondo and some other banners to make up for it.Still gonna save up for Triangle Strategy and the Sacred Blaze banners.
i've been easy hunting for so long i forgot about the feats, and they require so many kills each
>>1270207Just do those first. Then once you get all the feats, then just Easy Hunt from there.Can’t wait to Easy Mode the Job Towers and get all their shit right from the get-go.
Got me a golden Warrior Cookie.Is this a sign? Should I pull for Rondo after all?
>>1270288if there is a god orchestrating gacha pulls then it is surely a cruel god
>>1270288Don’t do it, Rondo will be powercrept very soon by insane and far more powerful sword units. One of which is another free unit Elvis situation.
>>1270288If you’re really want him, save up the rubies for another MT banner and you may pull one there. Otherwise spark for him.
so how do i get cerna and these new fragments?
>>1270804Get 100 elite fragments from watching ads.You’ll get them in batches of 5 and 10 at a time.Good luck!
>>1269643 here,i actually just got Rondo from all the free rubies we got today haha
>get to the chapter boss going in blind with my farming team >my two damage dealers both get nuked after the first break >trying to die instead of force closing the app so I can still see the weaknesses>Alaune just spams her fucking heals, regens and defense buffs and my dudes just won't fucking die but I also don't have anyone to consistently do decent damage or breaking. What a bitch>>1270816Nice, me too. I don't know why, but even with all the banger units in the pipeline I just felt like pulling for this little nerd and got him in two multis.
did they dilute the ad rewards with a bunch of trash or are the rates for the good stuff the same as ever
>>1270983They removed some of the trashiest rewards and replaced them with fragments (historic and the new 4* fragments) and boost berries. Rates for ad reward rates haven't been visible until today's update so we don't know for sure if they're the same, but the way it was presented on stream made it sound like they were just replacing the garbage no one wanted anyway.
>they threw all the old souls AND the new souls in exchangeso much for all that time spent farming 2B's, but also thank goodness, i'm going on a shopping spree
where is that veteran's sacred seal?
>>1271092Read the in-game announcements. Next week.
Are any of the 4-star A4 accessories worth it? Looks like Cless, Heinz, Devin, and Merrit are on the exchange.
reminder that ads reset twice daily now at 9:00 and 21:00 utcso you have three hours for the first batch
>>1271126theres more in the board exchange
>>1271126>>1271140There are even more than that. Accessories are split between the gameboard exchange, historic fragment exchange and memory shard exchange. Quite a few of them are pretty nice. Fabio, Noelle, Pia, Cless and Kurtz are all great to name a few.
Any advice for a new player? Really enjoyed OT1 & 2, and after having finished 100+ hours of OT2 earlier in the year, this has my interest.
>>1271244savesavesavethis is not a game where you can easily get every character you want, so while you may feel frontloaded on resources at first, be especially frugal and aim for your absolute favorites foremostyou can look at all current and future travelers here>https://phrygian-tuesday-3c6.notion.site/2dd50eb0e188493fbecee1f55b8691c2?v=b41cb236e9bc4a7686380dd295153e9fterrible gacha aside, the rest of the game is top notch
>>1271244If you get stuck somewhere, gather materials and armor in that region until everyone in your team can equip it.The game shouldn’t start getting hard until the end of Master of All.Also, if you’re willing to spend, do the Step-Ups. You’ll be guaranteed a 5-Star at the end of the 5th Step.I’d actually recommend using your rubies to build your team up until you get past Master of All. THEN start hoarding your rubies for the stuff that’s up ahead.
Ok guys this is serious now, I need teams to farms those boards
they really need to move these BT battles to the memoirs
>>1270983>>1271000Well turns out that was not the case. Your ruby income/seal drops will be roughly the same overall but they want you to watch twice the ads.
>>1271373rubies are already tight, now they converting to judaism sheesh
By the way for those of you who don’t quite grasp the concept of a Traveler of Memory, check out pic related.Also...when you see it......you’ll be shitting bricks for the rest of the game.
>>1271244If you do get the urge to pull but want to save: Go play Opera Omnia or the Romancing SaGa game on the side. Do not play any of the Final Fantasy mobile games cuz they suck. Bad.
>>1271691>Do not play any of the other*Goddamnit. Also avoid playing Another Eden because playing both Octopath and Another Eden is going to destroy your life.
>>1269500Damn, those are the only two I already have at level 100 with their accessory. Good to know this'll make it easier to get arena frags for the other champs.>>1269643>>1270816>>1270946Fuck, don't you two dare tempt me with your insane luck on Rondo's banner! I actually like the dude so having to skip his banner hurts more than skipping Krauser.Also,>elite fragments aren't guaranteed with every adWhat the FUCK is this bullshit? When they added "viewer's medals" to watching ads in the SaGa mobage, they were added onto every ad reward you got in ADDITION to the normal reward! This is gonna take way longer to get the forbidden 11 than I thought! Also, I missed 5 ads today because apparently now I need to set an alarm to watch my ads twice a day instead of watching once a day whenever I feel like it. Way to be scummy, you bastard devs.
>>1271356Ask and ye shall receivehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV6s-1bErzs&ab_channel=free2PlayerCotC>>1271373>half rates for rubiesDamn. Felt like I got them fairly frequently before.
>>1271373>You can pay to skip ads!>Also we halved the value lol
>Cerna's A4 accessory added to the game according to the notice I wonder which of the three exchanges that feature 4* travelers' A4 accessories it will appear in? Or will we get it like a 5* traveler ie once we summon her with elite fragments five times? There's no way to know because no one can get Cerna yet, but it's got me scratching my head.
>>1271720Is there a list somewhere with all the board enemies weaknesses?
>>1271726Pretty sure ive seen it in the exchange already, but it's locked
>first elite in new chapter>just about ready to break it>goes out of turn to switch itself from max mag resist to physical>my team is mainly physicalrude
>>1271729Found it, thanks. For those who want a quick guide to this dumb scavenger hunt, there's the 4* A4 distribution:Memory Shard: Pia, Rita, Bertrand, FabioHistoric Frag: Devin, Cless, Merrit, Cedric, Heinz, CernaFortune's Gameboard (Wealth): TrishFortune's Gameboard (Power): Sigrid, KurtzFortune's Gameboard (Fame): Noelle, Meena>>1271727You can see the final bosses in that vid, but unfortunately some of the mini bosses are randomly chosen between two enemies. Luckily, if you use the teams in that vid, you will always have someone who can handle the weaknesses no matter which enemy appears. For example, at reward spot #2 in the wealth board, it can either be a shield guy or a big slug, but both share fan and wind weaknesses.
I found the Board weaknesses same meow site: https://meowdb.com/db/octopath-traveler-cotc/enemy-weaknesses-lv-46-100/Search: Dice [Wealth/Power/Fame] [Zako/Rank]Zako are the spawns on tiles and Rank are the flag bossesI think
>wild sixfold slice>hits one traveler 5 times
somehow managed to first try the new chapter holy fuckwent in with all fortune weapons out of curiositycoincidentally got the last break right before alaune does a super buff/debuff, elrica survived with just a pixel of health, and funny enough fiore can get priority before post-break recovery attack
>>1271727Game8 has all the weaknesses listed. Herminia is weak to dagger, axe, tome lightning and dark, and her lady is weak to axe, bow, staff, fan, and wind. The guard of the second flag is weak to dagger, fan, and wind, while the slug is weak to tome, fan, fire, and wind.Tytos is weak to spear, bow, fan, fire and light, while both the leopard and researcher in the second flag are weak to sword, axe, ice, and light.The fame board has a ton of shared weaknesses. If you bring Sword and Ice units you should be all set. Only the guard from the second flag isn't weak to either of the two, but he is weak to lightning, so if you have Cyrus, he'd be great to bring along.
A lucky pull from one of my Traveler Seals. Now Hayes is A1.
>damn empress, stew correction is needed..!!>let's release this genocidal prostitute, burp, she's good, I feel it (no remorse was shown whatsoever)>but how about we tell her the weak point in our defenses, she'll surely help us to strengthen it>....>IT JUST WORKS>now Tatloch lusts for Bargello (Oskha was right, he's greedy as hell, Levina can't satisfy him anymore)>off to Hell I go, Velsnort is waitingDon't mind me, I'm just trying to catch Rinyuu's train of thought. So far I just came to conclusion that she's dumb as bread and should be tied to Erabareshimono as a backpack.
>>1271681>>1271889By the way. New mechanic revealed. Bosses now have a BP meter. When it fills up, they’ll attack you with an Ultimate. You should also know that Hammy has this mechanic as well. Enjoy yourbfight with her!
if you end up getting cerna, how would you even limit break her?
Elite Fragments: 15>>1272521Just use your silver Guidestones.
>>1272521Silver Guidestones will do the trick. You’ll need 2600 total. 600 for the three awakenings, and the rest to bring her to level 80.You...have been saving up on your silver guidestones...Right?
>>1272526>>1272545yeah saving haha....
>>1272576You laugh, but there’s 10 more 4-Stars after Cerna.
anyone else like helga with an auto provoke?
2 days in and 5 elite fragments. I can't believe I'm seriously going to have to pass over 4 star characters for being too expensive. Ridiculous.
I'd like to point out "OCTOPATH" is merely two letters away from "sociopath", though it was interesting
>>1272703i have 10!
>>1272703What do you mean pass? Just keep watching ads until you get enough of the fragments. This is a marathon not a sprint.
>>1272768I'm not watching that many ads so I'm just going to pick the most valuable of the remaining 11 and skip the rest.
>>1272477Rinyu a dumb shit. Feel nothing but sympathy for velnorte
do these stack? if not, why would they do this? 4 stars are already limited in amount so they should at least diversify the abilities in their accessories
>>1272808They do indeed stack.
>>1272477>”hey owo… let’s release this war criminal who ruined nations and cut off the leader into pieces like Exodia… there’s good in her trust me owo”>now she can suck off the dead without the ring but cannot do that to the living??? Huh ?? Did i miss something or are they going to explain it later?>now she’s standing with us without anyone batting an eye …. Huh????? Are they retarded ? Or did they figure let’s have a temporary truce because we have the entire Hell on our asses?>damn… that nigga is a chick magnet, no wonder Oska went nuts of jealousy>now that retarded owo is walking in Hell freely, but didn’t the Thumb lady told us it’s dangerous to walking around without her light?I swear to God, if that bitch did anything stupid I will pull out my perfect Fortune Dagger and cut of her ponytails.
>>1272880Gotta say, that OST that played in the boss kicks ass.. wish i can search but fucking JP players love to post spoilers in the fucking thumbnail because they are fucking assholes
>>1271244For those who joined recently: Save up rubies until our favorite nigga Barrgello banner release , then spend everything on him. He’s the most anticipated character
ads are soul draining garbage, why couldn't they tie the new characters to literally anything else
>use apothecary sofia as a support>4* accessories let her give SP recovery and dagger damage up to her paired allydamn this is comfy
>>1272895Nobody is actually rolling for a fucking nigger homo...right?
Hey! It’s that time again! Time for another round of leaks!>But Mario! I thought the leaks were-Is what I’d like to say... but t it appears that our sources of leaks got dried up.>Yeah, that.It appears that SOMEONE reported the leaks to Square and now they’ve put the kibosh on our latest source of news.>If you wanna get mad at someone, get mad at Reddit. It’s those guys who reported the source of the leaks.And this is why we can’t have nice things.>Ain’t that the truth...But as we learned from the previous Tavern Talk, our next Banner will be the Trinity of Light starting on September 6th.>Featuring Hasumi, Z’aanta and Eliza! But no Millard...Wow! It’s almost as if Millard has no value at all!>I know. Quite the conundrum...Also the next Tavern Talk’s on the 18th... meaning...>Triangle Strategy, kimi WAAAAAAA!!!That’s right! Most likely, on September 20th, We get the Triangle Strategy Banner featuring Roland, the Thunder Merchant and Frederica the Fire Scholar!>And best of all...we get a freebie! A 3/5-Star Warrior of Fire: Serenoa!Not only that, we got a whole new Gameboard to deal with featuring Triangle Strategy!>Wait...I thought it was Master of All.Actually, Luigi, it’s both.>But if the Trinity of Light is in the 6th, and Triangle Strategy is on the 20th, then what’s on the 13th?Well...your guess is as good as mine.>Oh yeah...No more leaks...Could be a new traveler. Could be the Trinity of Darkness. It could even be nothing at all.>Thanks Reddit... your the reason we can’t have nice things in life.Guess that’s it then...until next time!>If there is one...And also...remember to eat your pasta!
>>1273125I love TS and want to pull for them but then there won't be any rubies left for MT chars :(Butts lead men to their fall
>>1273080>fucks Levina every day>increase damage cap of front row so my units hit harderMeta calls. If it makes you feel better, he shares a banner with Sonia and if you get them both, you can imagine your ringbearer NTRing him.
really wish i could refund some A4 accessories i have since the 4* ones are good and i'd much rather have the awakening shards
>>1272675I don't think so right now, it's why Edea's A4 accessory (which grants provoke) is considered by some to be the best A4 accessory.However, Serenoa, the main dude from Triangle Strategy who is a free maxed five star like Elvis, has an A4 accessory that grants auto-provoke and def +15% for the first 3 turns of battle, so there's that to look forward to when the collab drops later this month.>>127270310 for me, it's horrible. Their official reason for taking all that time was to figure out the "best" way to implement the forbidden 11 and they do it in one of the worst ways they could've.>>1273125>Wow! It’s almost as if Millard has no value at all!It hurts, I'm the guy that still doesn't have Millard despite having all his friends from launch multiple times over.So we have something like 5 or 6 days left before the anniversary selector expires. I'm gonna choose Ophilia. I was trying to wait until the Veteran's Seal they announced was here, but those missions are coming on Sep 6th, which I think is the day the selector expires. If my Veteran's Seal is Ophilia, I'm gonna be kinda mad.
dudes i fucking suck at this gameanyone got poverty builds for the boards? no i dont got no fucking richard
Ok so Helga and Miles both have auto provoke, is there a set up of just those two to back pack on each other
>>1273575Richard isn't really a game-changer. His passive is a nice boost but for the boards is completely unnecessary. A2 is also pretty suboptimal for the boards as battles already end in 3 turns or less without her.Since battles end so fast Helga is often picked for her auto-taunt + passive attack down at the start of battle. You just have to keep her health at max or else the taunt falls. The rest depends on what board you're doing. Tytos and Auguste are the easiest of the three because they waste the first turn. So you want to break them as fast possible and kill them turn 2. They have very little health.As for a poverty build... against Tytos you could try bringing Helga, Pia, Barrad, (or any other source of spear damage you have) Cless, Lucetta, and a healer? (Note that I have not tried a 4-star only run of the Power board so this hasn't been tested)
got 20 elite fragments already!
>>1273684I'm still at 10...keep getting trolled by memory frags and historic frags thinking I'm getting elite frags.Though to balance that out, I got a gold class-up seal for clerics AND a gold class-up seal for merchants today from my hunts! I don't need them, but I've never seen two drop in one day before.
Are Equipment and Skills saved per Party Set?
>>1273575I did the power board on max difficulty and cleared it with 4 stars only (technically with one 3 star), so I don't think it gets more poverty build than this.
Probably gonna use my selector soon before I forget. Who should I pick between Cyrus and Therion? Have A2 and Viola for thieves, and only Odette for scholars.
>>1273821My personal pick would be Cyrus since you already have Viola and I don't think Therion adds *that* much more utility, but there are plenty of tier lists that say you should get Therion first.
>>1273804this is what im talmbout, what are the accessories
>>1273836Pia has the anniversary scarf and Devin's a4. Lucette has Kurtz's a4 and Yunnie's a4. Sigrid has Elvis' a4 and a sword damage accessory, Helga just has hp regen, Felline has Tiki's a4 and the kitty cape, Ramona has Merrit's a4 and the rest are just filler for stats and interchangeable. Didn't use any non free 5 star a4s. Also since Felline only reduces physical attack replacing her with Kurtz probably would've been the better idea.
>>1272526Elite Fragments: 20
>>1273996i seriously don't think i'll bother with this shit after cernacerna is the only 4* i really care about, and maybe brigitte and paula, but at the end of the day they're just fucking 4*'s there's no reason they should be so annoying to get
>>1273575How far are you into the game? I would say if you’re missing 5-Stars, use 4-Stars in their place. Cerna and other Elite 11 are a cut above the other 4-Stars.If you haven’t gotten past Master of All, I recommend using your free rubies on any free banners. Like the Trinity of Light coming out on Wednesday.
>>1274021Think of it this way:Extra feats for getting the characters.Extra rubies for doing their storiesExtra 200 influence for leveling each one up.Extra feats for building the cumulative levelsExtra feats for building their Ultimates.That’s why you wanna get them. But feel free to do this all on your spare time. I already have all my 4-Stars currently maxed out. So as time passes I’ll grab the Elite 11 tickets one by one.
>>1273761Yep, that's the main point of 'em. I have one set for whatever arena champ I'm grinding, another for my daily leaves farming and another for the gameboard parties.
>>1274021They'll also take a billion extra silver to max them out compared to everyone else since you can't dupe them. Not worth it in the slightest.
>>1274105You could dupe them. With another 100 elite fragments. You’ll just end up with 80 of the character Guidestones.Just hoard up a bunch of Silver Guidestones. You need 2600 to max out each one.
Could someone post the new ad reset time that's partway through the day in a time I actually know like eastern or pacific? Or just give me a (You) when it rolls over please.
>>12742065am EST and 5 pm EST.
>>12742069 UTC and 21 UTC I think
>>127420610 minutes
>>1274206it's reset, also your laundry is finished and you left your toaster in the oven too long. It's burnt now.
>>1273996Elite Fragments: 30
how do these guys get like 100k from the boards? just resetting each roll?
>>1274220>>1274222>>1274312Thanks lads>>1274326>toaster in the ovenWell shit, there goes the neighbourhood
>do story>all bosses are status ailment spam>cant even farm accessories to resist it
>>1273125> RedditFuck that shit, weren’t they supposed to be 6 feet under or some shit? Can someone burn the fucking thing already?
>>1274331Elite Fragments: 35
I'm up to 15 and giving up. Not watching another ad fuck them.
>>1274817Okay. I’ll bite. Why the frustration? Haven’t you been watching ads beforehand? Why is it bothering you now? All you have to do is just keep pushing through the stupid ads and you’ll eventually get what you want. And they even give you two shots a day to do it with too.Keep at it. You’ll eventually get the 1100 Elite Fragments you need before you can swear off ads for good.
>>1274827The feeling of the ads being optional for some occasional rubies vs feeling forced to watch them. Rubs me all the wrong ways. I can see them locking Hammy's arena fight behind being a pass subscriber now.
I dont mind the ads, since it gives me an exuse to look away from the game, but what irks me is that sometimes there are no ad, it was alright since it was just random shit, but now units are locked behind ads :/
>>1274775Elite Fragments: 45
i have yet to pull lynette, who is the discount poverty version?
>>1275151There's no one who really does what she does. Eleonora can somewhat do the same job on physical teams if you disregard the fact that her ultimate serves an entirely different purpose (and that's a pretty big thing to disregard seeing as Lynette's strength lies in her being able to provide three separate, stacking buffs to both offensive stats). Pia is a popular 4 choice for having a party wide attack buff skill and an ultimate with attack and speed up, but she can't provide a passive attack boost. Those two together could theoretically replicate what Lynette does for physical teams specifically, but then you're dedicating two character slots to passive buff bots who might not always have anything else to contribute to a specific fight.
Q!
>>1275151Pia for physical, Fabio for magic.
>>1275151my cute wife!
>>1275331(she's not poor though, she's the head of a very esteemed trading company)
>>1275151I assume it’s the attack buffs you’re after. In that case you’ll be wanting Primrose. She can buff P.ATK and E.ATK.Keep the n mind there’s nobody besides Lynette who can buff up your attacks as an Ultimate though...
>>1275365>there’s nobody besides Lynette who can buff up your attacks as an Ultimate thoughPia was brought up 4 times in this thread already.
>>1275386Wrong image.
>>1275388this will increase duration with kurt tmr right?
so i finally made it to Hellshould i finish the rest of the story or is this a good place to pause and catch up on my farming?
>>1275212I think Lynette can be replaced in spear-centered content at least.Richard's full health passive gives +15% passive attack up and Torrent Formation gives active spear damage up, while Pia provides the 20% ultimate buffs while lowering spear resistance on enemies. Their respective buffing skills also cap active physical attack up. And of course, Pia can also work as a tank now that we have 4 star A4s.It's not relevant for any content right now besides Hell Cragspear (and I'cirlo if you haven't completed that already) but if we come across spear-weak content in the future, it might be more optimal to go with the above instead of bringing Lynette.>>1275392Getting started on some Hollow weapons might be helpful because Hell Weapons enjoy a 10% damage bonus to Hell enemies, but none of the enemies are particularly hard if you can hit their weaknesses. Don't invest too hard into them until you reach BoA chapter 3 though. Souls are BS and I'd avoid dealing with them unless they're absolutely necessary to overcome a certain roadblock.
I finally beat Thief Tower! Gonna give the Dancer one a try, I couldn't beat the final EX floor the first time around. But now I have Summer Fiore.
And there's Dancer down. She was surprisingly easy, just took a long while because dancers don't hit very hard. The 2 minions died a lot faster than I expected. Now to wait for Cleric and Merchant towers next month.
>>1259983>to farm this arena champion you need to get your hands on fortune weapons>to farm fortune weapons & souls you need to farm the board>to farm massive medals you need to crank up the difficulty to the max>to beat this board difficulty you need fortune weaponsSigh… I’m sick of this cycle.Picrel is the team i made after looking up many suggestions for the wealth board farming. Is it sufficient? Any further suggestions?
>>1275664Need to know available units to make suggestions, but you can always just do a test run without using tickets if you aren't confident.
>>1275670I tried a test run with one ticket, things went well. Tried maxed out test, got ass raped by her because she was fast as fuck and her bitch boy was unusually savage. I pretty much pulled most units but half of them are underleveled.The characters i don’t have: Alune, Sofia OG, Krauser, Hayte, Jamillia, Elorena , Adelle and Joshua.
>>1275674Completely forgot about the sacred flame banners, I only got Oddette and Dorthea from there.
>>1275674I just use my general, unoptimized farming team (pic related) for all the boards because I'm lazy so I'm sure you can do it anon. I do have to reset for luck on occassion, usually only when a miniboss opens up with an aoe. The other two bosses are a joke, but Herminia can be a bit of a bitch. For her I use Cardona as a sacrificial lamb on turn 1 with her priority provoke (though Fiore EX will obviously do). I just go all out on nuking her servant as Herminia herself will waste several turns doing nothing after the first two turns. I don't even bother breaking the servant, just nuke her down with your hardest hitting shit. Hell weapons did the job for me before I had fortunes, but your mileage may vary. Sometimes you just have to reset, but Fiore EX should help you survive long enough to get the job done eventually. Once you've built a few fortune weapons for your best damage dealers it should become more manageable too.
>>1275680Thank you, I will keep that in mind.
>grabbed the two tower seals>5* chloe and z'aanta, both of whom i didn't have
>>1275729Nice luck!That’s the nature of the beast right there. You never know when you’ll strike big.
>>1275664Try doing it using only 8 tickets. Get yourself comfortable. Then use a ninth to raise the enemy difficulty by one. Get comfortable with that and raise the difficulty by 2. You get the picture.Anyways, just remember that the enemies you face on Fortune’s game board are glass cannons, especially at the highest difficulty. Hit hard, hit fast, break your enemies as soon as possible and you’ll win.A high leveled, well balanced team will get you through any situation. You won’t NEED fortune weapons,
Scholar Tower’s up. Don’t forget to Awaken your Varkyn!
Apothecary Tower’s up. Don’t forget to Awaken your Gertrude!
Up to 20 elite frags and just now saw rubies for the first time since the bastard devs cut the rates in half. The terrifying thing about this bullshit ad wall for the forbidden 11 is there's no pity (unlike SE's SaGa game that does this), so there's probably gonna be at least one unlucky player out there who will fail to get them all before EoS.
>open chest>25,000 Leavescome on man, this is aint right
>>1275864I wonder, if i got that bitch and any of the 4stars for that matt.. do i have to use the generic silver stones to boost them up and no other way?
>>1275908You could get another 100 elite fragments and pull for Cerna again. You’ll get 80 of her Guidestones that way. Other than that, just use your silver Guidestones.
which of these elite 4 stars are even worth having? by the time the rest of them release and you have enough elite fragment you would probably have a pretty good account
>>1275950Nah, you can't. There is only one seal in exchange. Prepare your 28600 generic silver guidestones.>>1275953All worth having, none worth using. The influence boost and some of their accessories are nice and that's it. Though they can do you some good once they get their Solistia buffs.
so to unlock the dragons i need to beat all the elites on the living world map?
>>1275106Elite Fragments: 50
>>1276004are you trying to be a 12 hour clock for people or what because it's getting kinda annoying
Just finished the latest story chapter and wanted to make sure I got all the elites. I found Cursed Flame Guardian, Great Infernal Insect and the three Defenders (Wealth/Power/Fame).Also, I couldn't find a new Hell NPC duo, what's up with that? It says I've interacted with all 7 NPCs in the BoA Ch3 area.>>1276002Yep, plus the boss elites (idk what to call them) in each Bonfires of Battle area. And the second dragon needs the first dragon to be defeated first, I'm pretty sure.
>>1276009Just showing you all how it’s done.
>>1276015There's no new Hell NPC duo this chapter. Wait for BoA 4.
>>1276064Ok, thanks!
>>1276020The proper "way its done" is to just live without. You save time and you don't encourage them to cut free content and then act like they are doing you a favour by selling it back to you.
>>1276152What are you talking about? Cerna and the other Elite Eleven are still free content. They’re not selling you anything.You waste no money doing this, only time.And since it’s still free that means You’ll eventually get it. So there’s no reason for you to “live without it.”
Time IS Money
>>1276163you know what's good free content? arena championsyou know what's bad?>not respecting the players' time and other obligations by forcing them to log in twice a day when you dictate, instead of letting them play when they can>for something that isn't gameplay>isn't related to the game>and most importantly, isn't funon top of what that other anon mentioned is withheld content by their own design
>>1276197You know it amazes me how much people can get irritated over 30 seconds of optional commercials...even though you get nice gifts and loads of experience points after the fact.Would it be better if the Elite 11 were simply added to the Chance Encounters? Possibly. But they’re not. A lot of changes between the JP version and the Global version are present and most of them to our advantage. Including a free shot at getting the more powerful 4-Stars without having to waste rubies on a banner.The thing is, I can deal with the ads. I can play them at any moment. And as time passes,>I will acquire the Elite 11>I will do Their Stories>I will raise their levels>I will get their Influence>Hell, I’ll even boost their ultimates.Because I know that in the end, this is another thing the game throws at you. And like everything else, I’ll overcome it.
>>1276267They simply did it in a godawful way. If the elite fragments were farmable from the town and the ads were truly optional and just a way to speed it up I wouldn't be mad. If it were an actual added bonus and not just taking existing content and locking it behind ads with no effort I wouldn't be mad. As is it's like they designed everything to piss me off.
Why do you guys even think that watching ads is a waste of time? Do you guys watch them sincerely instead of clicking the button and doing something else?
>>1276390You either can't fully commit to doing something else because you have to start and stop the ads or you have to start it and then let it run for hours as you do something else. It's a waste no matter how you go about it.
>arena champions>respecting the players time>you have to redo the fight 100 times is this nigga srs rn?
>>1276267>optional commercialswhen you lock characters behind them, they're no longer optionalwhen you force people to do something they don't want to, they get upset, and you personally being willing doesn't change that facti don't know how they're implemented in JP, but assuming they were added to the normal pool then you're not wasting rubies for them, you just get them passively while aiming for others, so it is effectively just as free as you're purportingyou also explicitly can't play ads at any moment, you have 12-hour windows you have to hit. by comparison, hunts give you 7 days of storable leeway for example, and towers have weekly entries>>1276420if you're extending the scope of the comparison, sure, arena refights are also bad by virtue of huge grindhowever, as they're also actually usable 5*s they directly compete with their monetization, so adding on the grind makes senseand do you "have to" do them? no, you at least have options, it is wasteful but you can throw the champions in hunts, and you can just use different accessories
>>1276004Elite Fragments: 55
>>1276414Just watched an episode of One Piece and blitzed through 8 ads. Having some difficulty fathoming an ad which requires you to sit for hours on end without a skip button somewhere in there.
>>1276669You can either stop paying attention to the episode every few minutes to click on and off the ad or click the ad start watching and then when the episode ends click off the ad letting the ad run for 20 minutes, repeat for all 10 daily ads.>hurr durr out of two options I picked 1, so why didn't 2 happen
>>1276350I've said it like twice, but they had a perfectly good example of how to do this available in another SE game, Romancing SaGa Re;UniverSe, and they chose to ape it in the worst possible way. All they had to do was make elite frags guaranteed on every ad watch and given as an additional prize on top of what you were getting from the ad anyway (nuts, rubies, etc). Since launch, RSRS has had six daily ads where you watch a 5 to 30 second ad and get a roulette spin. Every space on that wheel is gems for gacha pulls, there are no other prizes besides premium currency, the only difference is how many you get (anywhere from 10 to 300, it's 300 for a single pull in that game). Then they decided to bring over a character from JP and lock him behind watching ads, so they made a new currency, viewer's medals. Now when we watch an ad, we get the jewels they normally award PLUS an amount of viewer's medals based on how many jewels we got (iirc it's 100 to 3000, I think it was 30k for the character). Now everyone has that character maxed so this month they've added new, useful upgrade items to the viewer's medal exchange.SaGa utterly mogs Octopath when it comes to all the aspects of being a *gacha* game specifically, but Octopath mogs SaGa with story and the explorable world's RPG elements. Music is a tough call, but I'd give it to SaGa but it's not really fair due to its longer, more prolific legacy. If a gacha game took the best aspects of these two SE mobage, it'd be the ultimate 10/10 gacha game for sure.
>>1276414You are exaggerating lol. Well, you are not entirely wrong either, irritating things are irritating even if it's just little stuff. But I find it comical when some guys talk about how much attention and time-consuming ads are as if they are trying to min-max their daily life to the utmost
>>1276886>If a gacha game took the best aspects of these two SE mobage, it'd be the ultimate 10/10 gacha game for sureThrow in Mobius FF's system where you don't need dupes and all the good shit from the gacha is permanently removed from the pool once you pull it and I'm sold. Even with the dumpster tier rates for supreme cards, getting a new job, skin or supreme card always felt good even if it wasn't the one you wanted. Probably not the best move in terms of milking whale money, but from a f2p or light spender's perspective pulling in that game felt great once Square Enix decided to stop screwing the playerbase after two major monetization related controversies.
>>1276665Elite Fragments: 65
>>127690310 30 second ads daily for 7 months is 18 hours of compromised time for literally no reason or benefit. It's not anywhere close to an exaggeration.
>>1277429That’s still five minutes a day when you get right down to it. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.Besides, every ad you watch gets you an 11% chance of getting some Elite Fragments. Like everything else in this game, you just gotta keep at it.
>>1277429the benefit is literally the rewards you get from the ad....
>>1276912SaGa already has no dupes being necessary but yeah, removing from the pool would be nice as I got fucked the other day trying to get one of 3 featured characters and getting the other two 3 times each plus 2 off banners before having to pity him.>>1277112>still at 20This fucking suuuuuucks. If they release one of the forbidden 11 each month, it'll still take over a year for me to get one copy of each at this rate.
>>1277112Elite Fragments: 75
Veteran’s Seal got me Nona (A1) today. What did you guys get?
>>1277954huh what veteran's sealdid you nab the passes or something
>>1277954>>1277965oh shit new tasks, thanks for the heads up anonawakening shards for me though
Fuck, I should have saved the anniversary seal. Got a dupe for alfyn who I already got from the anniv seal
>>1277954H'aanit A2. Also got my Fiore up to A3 from some regular seals I had lying around. Not sure if I had those from earlier or if they're from the tasks because I just press claim all and don't really look at that shit.
>>1277954I wish I had Nona. Got a Lynette dupe which immediately went to shards.
>>1277954Haanit dupe. I could a1 her now, but I never use her so shards it is.
>>1277954I got a 4.5 Cyrus... from the trinity of light banner step one, which is great, have him now at A1. Even higher EATK.
>>1277954Two chance guidances got me Lumis and A1 Therion. Then the vet seal got me A4 Lynette (who already has her ultimate at lvl 10) :)
>>1278005Don’t worry about it. Nona was my Selector Fragement choice and I just got her from my latest Veteran Seal. Think of it as a perk for Alfyn. You’ll definitely want him at A2 if you can.
>>1277954The 5 regular seals got me nothing as usual because they're garbage; can't remember the last time I got something from one of them.But the veteran's seal was...A4 Fiore! Call it cope, but I'm more than okay with this. Fiore was my starter, is my favourite of the main 8 from CotC, and now I have her unique accessory! One more dupe and I can max her awesome ultimate. I got spooked by her on her EX banner and had to spend 6k rubies to get her EX form, so it seems a lot of resources tend to go toward this absolute cutie. She's the one I always use in story cutscenes too.
>>1278238That’s me with Viola. Except I’ve got her stuck at A2.I’ve got a completed Fiore, so I know exactly what you mean. She’s definitely worth it!
the guy that got krauser in one random 300 pull here, just tried him out, damn he is goodanyone else like him with the ability to extra attack a nuke?
>>1278238My starter was Gilderoy, and he's been at A4 Ultimate level 10 for a while. I didn't know how busted his ultimate was until I unlocked his level 10. Activating it makes him virtually unkillable, assuming all the typical buffs are maxed out, and it comes with a built-in Lynette buff for four turns.
>>1278371I love this guy! Shame that his wind skills aren’t as well utilized as his spear attacks.
>wrote over the wrong party setthey really need some type of party lock to make this retard proof
before i run the macro to farm 8 of them, does the tytos extra attack accessory apply to all attack types? not just sword right?
>>1279397Yeah. But I think it’s just a 20% chance of activating. Feintz’ sword is guaranteed to have an extra attack.
>>1279433Cool, i need them for the different weapon types so I can auto attack to farm silver and bronze soul material>farming so I can farm something else easierJUST
>>1277946Elite Fragments: 85
i got 85 too, but im not gonna show off like that guy
Need to filter the word elite fragments now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WitGfSCP-u8I can't replicate this clear as I'm missing Krauser, but it seems like the Hell Cragspear duo has become very manageable with the addition of Rondo. Also, amazing showcase of Gilderoy being unkillable with limited support. The dude's massively slept on by the majority of players, and he doesn't even require any specific fortune fan or A4 to be a great tank. Just ultimate level 10 (maybe) and an understanding of how his kit works.
>>1279665If he's gonna do it for every 4* traveler I might as well too.
>>1259983GOTCHA BITCH
>>1279903Nice! Your first Elite 11! Hope you enjoy the story. She’ll be pretty useful once the Master Tower releases their EX floors.
No elite fragments for me. But I did get 15 rubies in its place so... I guess I can’t complain.
im at 95 :/
>must be fucking nice to be free of this shit
>>1280261Almost there! Keep at it!
>>1280265>theres still 10 more units
is there anything in the future to save thats game changing like the fiore ex? if not i am gonna save to a4 edea
>>1280359Aside from Rinyuu, Bargello's the next big one. Both are pretty game changing in their own ways.
>>1280359What this >>1280283 said, but also prem, Haanit EX , motherfucking Grifith, the evil ToT cunny and Tatloch
>>1280359Do you have Sophia EX but struggling to get her tight ass to the maximum potential? Aim for Tatloch because she will give her 20 buffs turn one
>>1280371>>1280384>>1280385SIX (6) upcoming game changing units? come on now, this can be right, im f2p
>>1280390Okay okay, of you are f2p and have a good roaster I suggest Bargello because he can break the damage limit and his banner is the most valuable because he shares it with Sonia
>the evil ToT cunny which one is this haha
Job tower completers, do you think it would be worth me getting 8 of these for the their 10% weapon damage up? (bow, sword dagger)
I have some questions about Cless' A4 accessory and Wingate.So, my understanding is that passive damage buffs stack together to hit the passive "damage up" cap of 30%, and Cless' A4 gives 10% dagger damage up with paired allies. Does the person equipped with the accessory also get 10% dagger damage up, or just the person in front of them?Wingate famously has a passive that gives 20% damage up only to the person in front of him and only during break. So if I gave Wingate Cless' A4 accessory and put him behind, say, A2, who has no passive damage up by herself and uses a dagger, would A2 cap her passive damage up during break (20% from Wingate's passive and 10% from Cless' accessory on Wingate)?
>>1280261>>1280265I'm at 25. This is fucking insane.>>1280390Don't forget Elrica and Alaune EX! Luckily, they share a banner. Two of the best travelers ever released.>>1280404It's a spoiler if you haven't reached Bestower of All yet, but they're talking about Signa.>>1280413Nah, you should be able to get by with that amount right there. Feel free to farm a few on the side if you want, but don't waste too much of your time on them.
>>1280359Let’s see...there’s a lot that I want. But here’s the general consensus:Rinyu - Can channel healing from the back row. As long as she isn’t disturbed, your party will constantly be healedBargello - Not only does he do insane dagger damage, but he can also raise the damage cap of the ENTIRE FRONT ROWElrica - Powerful Sword user. Can deal LOTS of hits.EX Alaune - Alaune in Dancer mode. Can channel BP every turn from the back row.Leon - Strong spear user. And can use certain techniques to attack twiceOdio-S - Insanely powerful dark-user. He’s also a cleric.Sazantos - The most powerful sword user in the game. How powerful is he? Well his boosts can go to 2, 4, and 6.Remember my friends. Don’t just go for all the strong units, go with your gut and get the ones you want too.
>>1280359I wouldn't call Fiore EX game-changing, or not now at least. I don't think there's any content that requires her in EN.Alaune EX is the first unit I'd call game-changing. Giving your party extra BP each turn is huge.
>>1280359You can get a taunt at full hp accessory later from a tower challenge that's not in EN yet. Saving for edea's a4 as a f2p over getting new units would be a waste.
What are the common weaknesses in BoA Ch3? Gotta get a squad together to farm the new armor. I remember ice being pretty common, maybe fire too.
>>1280611if you have a strong enough lightning aoe (cyrus) unit, that plus eliza back pack, laura and betrand can farm anywhere
>>1279535Elite Fragments: 90
>>1280455You can check in battle buffs, top left "View Status"
>>1280646Nice. Yeah, that should do nicely.
>>1281042Dark with Heinz a4 and wind with menno can work too
>>1280455Only for dagger, if she used her sword skill it would only be 20% yes from Wingate yes.
It's Zegna next wednesday, I just know it.
theres someone on my auto farm team that inflicts aoe poison, i dont know who it is or how it happens
what stats do i put on my fortune and hell weapons do i put on for my tank weapons (miles, helga, gild, fiore ex)
>>1281398For a general tank, you’d want to buff up physical defense or elemental defense depending on the situation (you’ll need to make a decision).For EX Fiore, you want to dump them all into SP, since her tankiness relies on using either Physical Counter Melody or Elemental Counter Melody. Her defense isn’t an issue since her skill BLOCKS attacks.
>>1281457That first line isn't good advice. Both defense stats have a negligible effect on the actual damage received. Most of the damage reduction from equipment comes from its grade anyway.>>1281398You typically want HP, but in some cases that isn't even necessary. Remember: physical/elemental defense % buffs have nothing to do with your actual physical/elemental defense stats. You could have 0 for both and they'd still work. Instead they give you up to 30% damage reduction for each category. So let's take Gild as an example: Gild's tankiness comes from his ability to give himself multiple kinds of damage reduction. He gets active defense buffs while taunting with desperate resolve, has a passive defense buff at the beginning of the battle, and increases everything even further with his ultimate.Add these together, along with some attack debuffs, and he can reach 100% physical damage reduction reducing hard-hitting attacks to single digits. So bring the Thorned series with Reduced Damage from Hellfiends souls whenever possible.
Did I beat out resident alarm clock to it?
>>1280875Elite Fragments: 5And now I finally have Cerna. And it only took me 11 days to do it. That’s one down, 10 more to go.Next stop: Paula[\spoiler]
>>1281742And after all that, I go and forget my picture.
>>1281720I think three people did. That’s okay though. As long as people continue to persevere, it’s all good.
how good is cerna? i got her today too, it would take my last 2k silver guidstones to 80 her thoughmy spear situation is kinda tragic
>>1281880She has the same P.Atk as Barrad, and they both have a 220 Spear nuke. The main difference is that Barrad has a 3-hit spear skill, while Cerna's best shield-shaving comes from her random 2-hit spear skills. Cerna's kit seems to be more focused on applying debuffs than Barrad. Damage-wise she's probably tied with Barrad for first place among the four stars. Compared to the five stars, she'll do comparable damage to Largo (still higher than 9S and Millard EX, but lower than Gilderoy, Nona, and the other 5 star merchants).In terms of general usefulness, I'd place her pretty low based on what I'm reading from her kit. She has to compete with Pia who inflicts AOE spear resistance down (reliably), buffs front row, tank, and also carries Lynette's level 10 ultimate around for physical teams. Whereas Cerna gets a "low chance" of landing her passive spear resistance down.
>>1281398For tanks that aren't in swimsuits, you want Hell weapons with as many damage reduction to Hellfiend souls as you can get. If you're not in Hell, you can go for an HP fortune weapon.
>>1281146Thanks, was just thinking about dagger damage.>>1281565That webm is awesome.
some parts of the hell maps are blocked and the guys i need to defeat to clear the path just wont let me contended themdo i just need to continue on with the story or am i missing something?
>>1282238Try going to their real world counterpart and interact with someone. You might unlock something new.
>>1282253that worked, thanks
We got Cecily this week. Five months too late but at least it’s something!
>>1282556Cecily‘a a light merchant. She also uses Axe and Tome attacks. Would’ve been perfect to use against Tatloch.
>>1282576Wait, is she the one who sponsors olberic in OT 1?
Was Efrain skipped or something?
>>1282556I still only have 45 frags, fuck these devs.Also,>beat Glossom in 10 turns for the cupI guess I'll see how powercrept this fight is because my dark damage still sucks.
>>1282608Yes. They also have Grieg the Unbreakable from Olberic's chapter 2 as a unit.
>>1282625Kinda weird they gave her the solistian influence instead the orsterran one.
>>1282617They’re gonna bring over the Elite 11 one by one. Efrain will eventually come.
hows the revenue for this game? are they desperate enough to add ff units yet?
>>1282927Not yet. But who knows what our next crossover will be.
is there any material i need to preemptively farm for the pets?
>>1283258There are certain pets which are only available through Awakening Stone Fragments. You’ll need about 6000 for each one.Other than that, no.
>>1282927One of the lowest out of the SE mobages and that's been pretty consistent throughout its life. When it comes time for SE to axe another of their many gachas, we're probably on the chopping block. As for next collab, I hope it's DQIII HD-2D but they announced that game years too early and it's still vaporware.>>1283258The gacha lol
>we're probably on the chopping blockuhhh spendergoys this cant be happening
So whats the plan with these? Aside from the Unit specific souls, I should just be buying the damage against hell up?
>>1284488For offensive units, %damage against Hellfiends souls is the priority. That bonus is the only reason why you'll ever use a Hell weapon over a Fortune weapon. You're not picking these weapons for their stats.If you're bringing Gilderoy to the Hell Cragspear duo as other people have done, he (and every other tank that's not Fiore EX) wants reduced damage from Hellfiends souls. Gilderoy's whole deal is stacking as much damage reduction onto himself while dealing back spear damage, and reduced damage from Hellfiends souls help with that. If you're bringing Fiore EX, then she's better off with a Fortune SP fan.
it takes me more time to do these fucking ads than my dailies
>>1284577heh at least you get ads to show up....
>>1284087I was expecting this and went for it anyway, hopefully SE will make it “offline” version or a proper single player game for those who ignored it primarily for being a gatcha.
>>1284577>still getting vertical adds on the ios that you can’t skipFor fuck sake
Cecily’s out...but unless I feel REALLY lucky within these next two weeks I’m gonna have to skip her.Also, for those of you who don’t know, the Master Tower has floors 1 EX and 2 EX available. The reward for completing it is 100 rubies. But you can only use 4-Stars.Gonna wait on that one until more of the Elite 11 come out.The Muttering Codger is weak against Dagger and Wind.The Ild Storyteller is weak against Fan and Light.
Close, but no cigar. Feels like I need to make 2 more fortune fans to have a shot at it.
Damn, so close. My fault for slacking on building fortune weapons I guess.
Went for Cecily knowing that I would need to skip Rinyuu and the Triangle Strategy collab. Got fucked in the first round of step up with my only 5* being a dupe Nona. Second round was better with Cecily appearing at the end with Lumis so I avoided the worse case scenario. If there wasn't a step up and 4* version pity I would have never gone for her because fuck these rates.
Differences from regular FG100:Shields: 26 down to 21HP: 385660 up to 525660E Atk: 1987 up to 2087Differences from regular VH100:Shields: 23 down to 19HP: 331800 up to 481800P Atk: 1892 up to 2142So, outside of the 4 stars only restriction, they also have more HP and hit harder.
The Glossom cup race is just free rubies at this point. After a little bit of optimization and thinking, I got him down to four turns. How did everybody else do? I've been seeing a lot of Alfyn's Pomegrante Panacea strategies but I did my clear with Primrose, Gertrude, and Theo.
>>1285035I tried copying this 5 turn clear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23okeYieRUM&ab_channel=TorterraHousebut my Gertrude being still at level 80 because fuck arena farming and my speed stats being out of order plus not having Hayes caused it to be 6 turns just barely (the first attack on turn 6 finished off Glossom).>>1285028Wait, they gave them MORE hp? For a 4* fight? Madness, I'm not touching these yet.
Oh wait, Cecily's a five star? I thought she was another forbidden 11 but I guess Cerna's the only merchant of that bunch. She cute, but gonna have to skip as I'm still recovering from losing 6k to the summer banner and my next targets are TS and Rinyuu. She doesn't seem terribly good as it's just spear/axe/tome aoes, though I suppose it's valuable to have one character you can bring to three different types of fights.
Went and made one more fan and then got the clear on my last ticket.
I’ve got almost all my 4-Stars to level 80, but I’m not even gonna touch the EX Floors until I get members of the Elite Eleven that correspond to said floors.In this case:Durand - Thief/LightLolo - Hunter/LightLevan - Scholar/LightPaula - Dancer/Dark
My shit frag luck finally came around. Got 5x elite frags, another 5x frags and a jackpot 10x frags in the batch of 5 ads I just did. Guess I'll get Cerna before October after all, I'm up to 85 all of a sudden.
>>1285150i just got rubies for the first time since the change, and still sitting on only 70 fragments
fiore ex worth using over 50% of my generic guide stones to 100 her?
>>1285177I would argue that no traveler, no matter how good is worth dumping all your Gold Guidestones on.If you wanna get her to 100, put her in hunts, and periodically use the regular gold Guidestones at your own discretion.
>>1259983I fucked up, lost my account info or some shit. Reroll advice? Who is the top tier OP meta.
>>1285286same as before, get viola or lynette at the start then go for cecily since she can cover 4 weaknesses
>>1285286you can wait a week since theres gonna be a new collab according to the news
>Do the first 150 pull of the step up>Get CecilyNice.>>1284577>>1284622>>1284899>Not having skip tickets.
>>1285338Nice! Dammit, I’m being tempted to pull hoping this same luck will rub off on me.must wait until next Wednesday....
>>1285183I was wondering, what is the primary use for the generic guide stones ?? Make them exclusive to the ultimate?
>>1285686For Bronze and Silver it’s inconsequential since you basically get a bunch of them by doing pulls.But for Gold. They’re kind of like an emergency stash. If you need to raise a cap on the fly, those are your go-to.Or if you’ve gone on hunt after hunt and you’re close to breaking a cap or want to skip a level. That’s how I use it. The generic gold Guidestone is meant to be used periodically. Bit by bit. Remember, it takes 2000 Guidestones to bust the cap to maximum level. You don’t wanna waste that many Golden Guidestones on one person, especially since they’re tough to come across.
>>1285177I think she has enough sp to function without being near max level anyways, so I'd save them for Rinyuu and then dump all of them getting her to level 100 instead.
>>1285055It’s not so bad, especially now that we have fortune and 4 star A4s.
>>1285686personally, if it's someone i want in my main squad, i don't mind using some to get them to 90 for the extra starting BP and stuffpast 90 though it scales too expensively so i just wait for hunts
>>1259983I'm bored with emulating FF 1 and 2, how good is this?
>>1286363pretty good (if you reroll)
So, during the 1st Anniversary, I reserved my 5* selector to summon Theo. I already pulled the rest of the Original 8 and Theo finally completed the party set! My previous apothecary was Lumis and obviously I relegated her to the reserve. But wait, there’s more! Read on…

>>1286429So that’s the story in the nutshell. I forgot to mention that I sought after A2 when the Nier collaboration showed March. Also managed to get 2B. The Android Trio met up with Agnès and are currently skulking around the Nameless Town. The End
>600+ hrs>all those level 80s>20s influencethis guy aint even playing the game and has better units than me FUCK YOU
>>1286433Nice story.Here’s a sad one for you guys:>Only one day left before Rondo leaves.>Fuck it. I’m gonna pull.>Feel the telltale tug and->My brother-in-law decides to call me AT THAT VERY MOMENT to ask me a favor. I agree to it immediately.>Right...now where was I? Ah yes! Time to do a Step-Up!>Unfortunately, the moment I f the tug has already passed as I soon learn that the first four steps are duds.>That’s okay. The last Step is a guaranteed 5-Star with a 15% chance of Rondo. It’s in the bag.>And so I pull.>10th one. Cards appear (Okay...)>Fame is pulled. (Yes!)>Ai no chikara ga!/>FFFFUUUUUUUCK! (Wrong Warrior)
>>1286486The punchline: I now have enough Memory Fragments to Spark Rondo anyways. But with 8 more Traveler of Memory banners on the horizon it’s not worth it yet.Moral of the Story: If you feel the tug and you get interrupted before you can act on it...DON’T PULL! The moment has already passed.
>>1286486I was cleaned out of coin uniting the Starting Eight and the Original Eight from the main game, as well as summoning the Champion Trio, and then EX Fiore. Best moment I don’t want to experience again… Primrose was my main in OT because of her story, and her looks. This is the moment she finally joined my band and linked up with Sunshade’s other bold brunette:
>>1286440I’m finally advancing the story now that I have the Champions lol. Unintentional hilarity ensues if you have Herminia, Tytos, or Auguste on the frontline interacting with NPCs on the map. The downside? They can’t appear in cutscenes as your Feature Character because, story reasons. I even tried Richard as the cutscene rep to no avail. Feels bad, man.
>>1286634Well, here’s the consolation prize for CotC cutscene shenanigans: Female android witnesses a poignant moment in Master of All
>>1286634>>1286642Interesting. But I guess it makes sense give. The storyline. The bad guys are supposed to be dead and Richard hasn’t even appeared yet.
>>1286486Joshua Frostblade?!? AHAHAHAHA! OH WOW! What a macaroni for a swordsman! He reminds me of the Three Musketeers or picrel. Speaking about macaroni, this is what I'm referring to: >https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaroni_(fashion)
>Pull for Cecily.>First Step. Golden Ring right off the bat!>Is it gonna be Cecily?>Nope! Just Scarecrow (Completed)
>>1287491>Scarecrow Ultimate Level 10Now you can 4-turn Varkyn!
>>1287595Good to know when the Varkyn Cup comes back.
Four more days to until Triangle Strategy/Master of All
Well, I’m getting Cerna. Sure, it might be smarter to use them all on Paula instead, but I like her design.
Should I swap my 3 star apothecary Rodion for the 5 star apothecary Hayes?Rodion is lvl 18 like the rest of my band, and Hayes has a dumb backstory, but those stars tho...
>>1288700Yup, they're worlds apart. Congrats on Hayes, he's one of the 2 meta characters I want the most from the general pool.
Feeling blessed that the game forces me to unlock content by watching 10 ads daily for thinly veiled malware/spyware apps. In a sense it redistributes money from spyware to gacha provided I don't download the spyware, so there is some justice in it at least.
>>1288700Rodion isn't great. Even at A3 he'll still have worse stats than Hayes. Also Hayes gets a skill that applies entire frontrow Regen early on, and that's a huge upgrade over anything Rodion offers in terms of healing. Damage wise the gap is even larger lol.
>>1288766>>1288705Thanks for the tips. I like Rodion as a character so was hoping to get a way to justify using him, but I'm also stoked to hear Hayes is so good.I'm only lvl 19 so far, so there's so much to learn. Blown away at how high quality this mobile game is
>>1288823Just remember:5-Star > 4-Star. Always.
>>1289063There are absolutely cases where a 4-Star is better than a 5-Star at something, just not in healing or damage. Pia is a better physical buffer/spear support unit that any unit that's not Lynette right now and Aslyte is almost required for ice teams to be good. Devin and Pia are also both better at tanking than Lionel (who doesn't even have a taunt right now).
Three more days...
What's the deal with the Caits I keep finding in the wilds?>Can only do 1 damage per hit>Drops absurd amounts of XP and gold>Found one every day since I started playing, two yesterdayIs this a quest? Is there a way to optimize the hunt for them?
>>1289427yeah just flee from everything until you get them
any future general pool units worth pulling for? the 10 multi pulls for 4.5 unit is finally back
>>1289452Primrose EX and H'aanit EX are the big ones. Ogen is also pretty good.
Am I the only one that thinks having to record the fight to submit is retarded? Surely they can just check the most recent victory?
>Power beats/robs people>Fame begs/tricks peopleWhy did the devs make Wealth the only White Knight path
>>1289427Coats are this game’s metal slimes. Difficult to kill, but when you do, you get a shitload of EXP for it.No matter how strong your hits are, you can only deal 1 HP of damage, so you want to focus on attacks that deal more hits rather than big damage. The ones in the wild will never run away on the first turn so try to break their shield points as much as possible and hope they don’t run away on the second turn so you can break them and (hopefully) finish them off.
>>1289613And how exactly would they do that?I’m pretty sure they’re having you submit it because they can’t just check your battle status automatically.
>>1289613isn't it hosted by EN CMs? JP doesn't do it so the devs don't have an in-game way to track the conditions>>1289627wealth bribes/corrupts people
Huh, apparently there's a cap to the number of orbs you can have at one time.
>>1289666they are useless after level 3 or 4 anyways
>>1289379>new boards for this shit>multiple endings>a secret endingI have a question for those who played JP and TS: are these boards complete spoilers fest? As in they expected you to play TS prior to COTCThat’s just ridiculous if that was the case
Is the story even beatable F2P or am I better off just watching it on Youtube? Just beat the initial story set up to when Tower mode is unlocked.I loved the OT games but this gacha system makes me wanna puke.
>>1289666Are they actually capped or is it just visual like leaves capping out visually, but still adding up past that?>>1289849It's beatable just fine for a f2p. You will need gacha characters, but you don't need anyone specific or any crazy limited banner units to keep up with the story. As a new player you likely will hit a wall at some point though before your daily resources add up so you can boost up your characters, but as long as you don't expect to blitz through everything a day you'll be fine.
>>1289856Appears to be visual.
Two more days until the main event!
>>1289894>they mentioned a possibility of releasing a brand new content for ENDo you think it’s going to be Pardis as playable character? What are your hopes?
>>1289900I think they’re referring to the Triangle Strategy crossover event.You get Serenoa as a free 3/5 Star. And you can get Roland and Frederica on the Triangle Strategy” banner. I should note that Roland and Frederica have some improvements for this version.The big thing is that we now have some Master of All Gameboards, which Star the heroes from Triangle Strategy, hence the crossover.
I fucking love TS but the butt took my entire ruby stash away :,(
>3m downloads>cant even get enough for ONE (1) multi pullthese guys are stingy for no reason
>>1290033>>1290050Don’t know what you’re going on about.Krauser pretty much brought me down to 0 and after saving rubies I’m now almost at 2000. All of them free.
>>12900672000 isn't nearly enough to get the collab characters.
>>1290076It is when you’re feeling lucky.
>>1290067Yeah, no way I am going to risk my new stash without being able to guarantee a pity, that too on a combined banner
>>1290169Perhaps I can help you with that problem, good sir.
Very curious about the global buffs they're gonna reveal in half an hour. Are the only other characters with global buffs Lionel, Harley and Mooloo? Can't remember if there was another one.>>1289846I've played through TS (and loved it) but unfortunately I don't play JP so idk how spoilery this'll be. I really hope it doesn't spoil too much of TS for people. Bravely Default spoiled that game's most famous twist and NieR wasn't THAT bad so long as you didn't look into the memoirs too hard.>>1290050Yeah, they're being stingy as usual and not giving out much for this collab. Hard times are coming this week for TS fans like me.>>1290033Same, had to spend 6000 and went down to zero, then went beyond zero doing Master Tower to finish the pity. I'm back up 3500 and I might be able to hit 6k if I kill the last four NPCs and the one floor in Master Tower I didn't get the rubies from plus traveler stories. I've been on a bad luck streak recently, I really need to turn it around for this collab. Definitely not going for dupes, just one of each.
All this talk of the TS crossover, should I as a new player be saving my rubies for it? I've been spending on the "Step Up Chosen Traveler Cecily" and "Step Up Trinity of Light" things
>>1290210Nah, they're not meta so this is only for TS fans like me. Those banners you're pulling are aren't good, they're permanent characters that'll spook you while you try to get stronger limited ones. You should be saving for a good Memory Traveler (limited characters from the main story).
>>1290187>Are the only other characters with global buffs Lionel, Harley and Mooloo?Nicola (passive), Kersjes (potency up), Molrusso (3-hit ST Wind and passive change), Jillmeila (her Dark attack and active buff got changed) and Falco (2-hit ST instead of 1-hit 230 potency nuke and added Evade to another 230 potency nuke).
>>1290219Right! Thanks.
>>1290210Frederica is a Molu with extra steps. Easy skip for most people who aren't diehard Triangle Strategy fans.Roland is a spear resistance down debuffer. He has an "extra attack" mechanic that makes it possible for him to do significant spear damage, but it's hard to use.Unless the global buffs they've been teasing make them a hundred times better, it should be a skip for most people, and a skip for new players on a budget either way.
Holy fuck, these buffs are INSANE! So much more than any other global buffs. I'm overjoyed.
>you'll be able to straight up buy the original 8 cotc travelers (Lynette, Viola, etc) from the paid ruby shop, once each, permanently, for eight bucks USD eachThey are clearly aiming for people like me who are still missing Millard after getting multiple copies of the other seven. I've played countless gachas over the years, but this is the first time I think I've heard of gacha characters being added permanently to the cash shop.>Promme being released but literally paywalled behind this eight dollar shop
Looks like Prome will be $2.99 (not a limited time discount, a permanent discount) and instead of once, you can buy him 6 times to A4 U10 him. Someone pointed out this costs less money to A4 U10 him than it costs to buy 2000 paid rubies, which shows how fucked ruby prices are.But still. Actually paywalling characters, this dude was just a permanent 5* in the general pool in JP.
>>1290243>They are clearly aiming for people like me who are still missing Millard after getting multiple copies of the other seven.Rolled Millard as my starter a few days ago. I was salty I didn't get to choose right up until this comment
Damn I wasn't expecting the buffs to Frederica and Roland to be this good. Might have to skip Rinyuu instead.
where can i see the buffs?
Frederica skill changes:>1st Passive: Self 30% Fire Damage -> 15% Damage Up + extend Ailment Duration by 1 turn.>2nd Passive: Self 20% Elem. Atk when foe has combust -> Elem. Atk and Elem. Damage Up by 15% to entire front row>4* Skill: 1x170 potency that causes 2 turns of combust -> 2-hit ST 85 power that causes 3 turns of combust and lowers shields regardless of weaknesses>5* Skill: 1x230 potency with 1.2x power against foes with Combust -> 260p with 1.5x power against foes with combust>Ultimate: 1-hit AOE 600 potency with 1.2x power against foes with Combust, three turns of no BP regeneration -> 800 potency with 1.5x power against foes with combust, 2 turns of no BP regeneration
>>1290338They're not up yet but>https://phrygian-tuesday-3c6.notion.site/2dd50eb0e188493fbecee1f55b8691c2?v=b41cb236e9bc4a7686380dd295153e9fThis site shows all differences between JP and global skills/passives/etc for characters who got buffed for global. It's also my favourite database for CotC characters in general, it has everything you could think of and more.I can't remember all the buffs for Frederica and Roland because there were SO many, but they didn't just buff skills and passives, Frederica's A4 accessory got buffed and Roland even got a 50 point increase to his speed stat.
>>1290352>1st Passive: Self 30% Fire Damage -> 15% Damage Up + extend Ailment Duration by 1 turn.I am convinced they lowered her 30% fire damage up to 15% in order to sell Prome's A4 accessory (15% fire damage up and sp regen) for $14.95.
>>1290352Roland changes:>Speed: 300 -> 350 >2nd Passive: Raise 15% Polearm Damage and 30% Speed at full HP -> High chance to lower foes' Polearm Res. by 15% for 2 turns >2* Skill: 1x150 potency -> 1x150 potency, lowers Phys. Def and Polearm Res. by 10% for 2 turns.>4* Skill: 1x230 potency and decreases Phys. Def by 20% for 2 turns - > 1x180 potency and decreases Phys. Def by 20% for 2 turns, +1 hit with Opportune Attack>5* Skill: 1x260 potency with 1.2x potency if the target has not acted yet -> 1x260 potency, +1 hit with Opportune Attack>5* Skill: 3x80 potency, + 1 hit with Opportune Attack -> 4x65 potency, + 1 hit with Opportune Attack>Ultimate: 5x115 potency, Lower Polearm Res. by 15% -> 4x125 potency, Lower Polearm Res. by 20%
>>1290352Do you have the buff to Frederica's A4, too? I think it was the elemental atk up for the whole party was increased from 10% to 15%, not sure if there was something else.
is it just me or is Roland just Krauser esque now
Nice buffs. Maybe I should just try my luck with the pulls
so whats the verdict on the new pay bait? i think 2.99 for one copy is def worth it, i wouldnt buy all that way to a4 from the get go, first time seems a okay
>>1290403I want to collect as many characters as possible as a mostly f2p, so I'll likely pick up a copy of him. Helps that clerics are the job I have the fewest of and I only have one proper fire user (Cyrus).
>>1290368Whoops, I made a typo here. Roland's ultimate was upgraded to 5x125 at level 10, not 4x125. It's a direct upgrade.>>1290395Yup. Before he had a problem of some of his single-target nukes not benefiting from "Opportune Attack", but now it applies to all of his spear skills. He'll have a much easier time applying debuffs as well. I think Krauser edges him out in pure damage, but they'll both hit 2x99,999 anyway.>>1290360>>1290369Frederica's old A4 accessory gave frontrow 10% Elem. Atk Up if an enemy had the combust status and increased the duration of ailments by 1 turn. It seems they've moved that last part to her new passive and in exchange, increased the bonus to 15%. When combined with her new passive, it caps out at 30%.
This was posted in an earlier thread but I still don't remember: Do Tikilen/Yunnie awakening stones serve ANY purpose now, since they can't be exchanged for shards? Will be they exchangeable for pets in the future? Or do we avoid those stones entirely when their towers refresh?
>3.3 rolls for 3mil downloads "celebration"this fucking gamewe even just got 100 rubies for a random login bonus
>>1290443no :)
>Roland and Frederica have been a individual paid banners (but share a free banner).>But you are Guaranteed a Roland or Frederica at the last step of their respective banner.Goddamn, I did not prepare for this. My wallet is gonna hate me. At least this banner rubs for three weeks instead of two...
>>1290497do these two change the game in anyway? maybe make farming something easier? if not ill skip
>>1290500They became very good units with the new buffs, but no where near game changing. Skip them if you don't care about TS
>>1290446>meanwhile, SaGa global gets 30,000 jewels for 30million downloads (it's 3k for a ten pull, so it's like if CotC gave out 3000 rubies)Not that this game will hit 30 million, but still, it should've been 300 rubies.
>>1290526What 30 million downloads!?!? That can’t be right
>>1290352>>1290368Sigh… I wish they overhauled BD characters too because they have been powercrept since last November.Good on TS fans, that was an unexpected surprise
Will they add a new 4* character along with the collab?
>>1290876Not this time. Maybe next week. Wait for the leak, hopefully.
Dumb noob question, how do I use the exchange to get more Sturdy Timber?There doesn't seem to be a way to search for items, just swap one stone type for another
Just started playing, is it dumb for me to get the weapons from trading gameboard medals in? 40+
>>1291147exchange - other - memory shard
>>1291148yeah it is dumb
>>1290573That's for global, so everywhere on Earth except for Japan, so I imagine Asia's pulling a lot of the wait. Still, people expected it to hit that much sooner. In JP, the game's dramatically more popular to the point that the gap between JP and global's profits is the largest of any SE game by far and maybe the largest of any major gacha game.Back on topic though, I have two completely unrelated CotC questions.First, is global Frederica the first non-thief traveler with a shield crack skill?Second, what happens if I use two provokes at the same time? For example, using both Tressa's and Gilderoy's aoe taunt on the enemy.
>>1291186> First, is global Frederica the first non-thief traveler with a shield crack skill?Yep. I think so.>Second, what happens if I use two provokes at the same time? For example, using both Tressa's and Gilderoy's aoe taunt on the enemy.The. I’d depends on speed. The faster of the two will go first. Think of regular moves as a Priority 0. Tressa and Gilderoy’s move would be a Priority +1Olberic’s defend and EX’s Counter Dances would be a Priority +2.
>>1291214Ah, okay. So whoever inflicts the provoke status is who'll draw the attacks and of course that'll depend on their speed if they try to inflict it at the same time. Makes sense, thanks.
i am never touching an ad again
Oh shit I got 30 rubies from 1 ad, is that normal?
>>1292083That was a jackpot, congrats
I hate, hate, hate, HATE this game's gacha!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!My pulls were>nothing for 70 pulls (no 4.5* offbanner dupes, I mean literally nothing)>Roland>absolutely nothing for another 30 pulls>Roland (A1)>another 10 pulls of nothing>Olberic (A1)This is after getting screwed to the tune of 6000 rubies on the summer banner to get Sofia and Fiore once each. I have the last 2 level 100 NPCs in Orsterra to kill for some rubies, then I don't even know if I can take on the two Hell NPC fights. There's 200 in the master tower from me not being able to clear one of the floors on the first try because my staves and dark suck ass. Either way, I'm gonna have to pity Frederica, I don't know if I have enough time to get 1800 fucking rubies, probably not, right? And I have to go out and do shit today all day so this "please enjoy the game at your own pace" game is gonna screw me out of bonus hunt guidestones for her even if I can somehow get those NPCs knocked out.As one of the biggest TS fans itt and the guy who's been waiting for this since the beta test, I am feeling especially bad today. JDIMSA
>>1292151make sure you watch those ads!
>>1292156Doing it now. Nothing, of course. I've seen 5 rubies twice since they cut the rates in half. I just got a $25 gift card for my birthday from a friend, I think I might cave and use it to buy the TS 300 paid ruby pack to do two steps of Frederica's step up for 100 and 200 respectively. I'll have to check carefully to make sure the paid pulls actually give the right pity frags. Of course, due to conversion and taxes, it will leave me 50 cents shy of being able to get Prome, so I'll miss out on his limited time guidestones too, but he'll be here forever now and Frederica is priority. I hate it when these slimy fucks win and take advantage of my legendary bad luck.
>>1292161haha happy birthday, make sure you also buy the awakening stonescant have your faves at only a0 can you?
>>1292163Birthday was last month, but thanks. If I can't afford 4 bucks for Prome I certainly can't get the awakening packs. Gonna have to wait til Christmas, I'm the poorest motherfucker you know.
Pulled because I need a spear user to beat that Hell Cragspear level 100 duo with.>>1292151Sorry to hear that anon. I dipped the second I got Roland and never looked back. These shared banners must really suck for somebody who wants both units.
>>1292175Thanks and yes, they suck so hard. All this pain and misery could've been avoided if that second Roland was a Frederica.I felt legitimately sick to my stomach buying the 300 ruby pack, and could see and hear those jap fucks sneering in my mind as the first step of her paid step up, which had the 3* dull blue light, popped out a 4.5* Frederica after I hit the skip button. Guess I'll hang onto these 200 blood rubies for some other step up in the future.Though speaking of the future, I am now completely and utterly fucked for Rinyuu and Bargello's banners now that each banner seems to be either spend 6k to pity or pay actual money. The future is one without hope.
Welp, the latest update killed the game on Bluestacks X.Worked fine last night, now >Code: 00000032Thanks SE
>>1292285just use normal bluestacks bro, you have a super computer right haha
Here’s my funny story:Get Promme (A2). The. Get Serenoa. Then get some rubies for my epic pulls. Do the step ups and get my required Roland and Frederica, plus their A1’s from the extra Awkenibg Stones.In addition I get Z’aanta, Tressa and Primrose (all Recyclables at this point). The Gacha is not being nice to me. I’m at 190 pulls and I only have 200 paid rubies, so I decide to do a 1st Step-Up on each banner.Roland’s gets me Molu (A3). Frederica‘a gets me...FREDERICA (A2)! Alright! Time to Spark Roland and get his A2 as well!Go to the Exchange...and suddenly I realize too late...Oh shit...that’s not Roland...
promme or the original 8 worth buying? i dont have lynette nor fiore or scarecrow
>>1292400Damn. You should consider contacting support. It's worth a shot.
I pulled even though i shouldn't have, luckily got roland in just 3, free multies
>>1292464Promme is cheap, so I’d get him for that alone. But him at least once just so you have him (the Awakenings are optional at this point since he’s kinda lame in comparison).Lynette, definitely. Fiore and Scarecrow are also strong. The only one not worth it is Millard. But at the very least the price is right.
>>1292524As much as I’d like to get those 200 Memory Fragments back, you gotta consider the fact that I got the feats from getting him, got his rubies, watched his story and pumped experience nuts into him to get to level 70.And besides, any mistake that gets me a new character is one that I can live with. But thanks for the consideration.
Is Rinyuu 6K?
>>1292853i think its 4500
>>12928534500 if it’s her banner. On any other Traveler of Memory banner it’s a straight up 6000.
Been thinking about the new global practice of paywalling characters. On the one hand, paywalling Prome means global is skipping his banner, which means all the awesome limited travelers are coming one banner sooner on an already accelerated schedule, giving f2p even less time to save their meagre scraps of rubies. On the other hand, moving him to the shop instead of the general pool means global has a permanently increased chance of getting anyone in the general pool over JP because Prome's not diluting by a very minuscule amount. I'd say it's still a net loss for f2p, as those who choose to be f2p purely out of principle (which are a fair number of mobage players) will never have a chance to have Prome.
How’s everyone doing on their Triangle Strategy Board?Here’s some advice on the final boss:It’s Idore, the final boss from the Frederica path and the Serenoa Path. Here’s what you should know about him.First off his weaknesses are: Sword, Spear, Tome, Fire and Thunder. All the damage types inflicted by Serenoa, Roland and Frederica.Second, Idore uses magic attacks, so if you’ve got EX Fiore, have her use her Elemental Counter dance in order to bypass most of his attacks (he still uses an all wind attack though).Third, this fucker regens himself A LOT. I mean...it’s like... 5-Digit Healing we’re talking about. Hit him HARD. This is NOT a battle of attrition.Lastly, WATCH OUT FOR HIS BOOST. If you don’t break him before his boost attack, he’ll summon an Aelfric Crystal. At that point you’re gonna need to motor or you’re fucked.The Aelfric Crystal had 90 Shield Points, has no weaknesses and only takes 1 HP of damage. What it does, is set up a count down. You have 3 turns to destroy Idore. If you fail to do this, you’re fucked. The Aelfric Crystal will explode and demolish both rows. KABOOM! INSTANT FAILURE!
>>1293476Got Serenoa to a3 and level 89. Don't know if I care enough to go beyond that. Haven't lost a fight to the final boss yet, but came real close one time.
Need some terminology help>A1/A2/A3/etcStars on the traveler's card?>U1/U2/etcLevels of that traveler's ultimate attack?
>>1293476how do you fight him? where are flags 5 and 6?
>>1291148The lvl 60 weapons are worth buying (X of Fortune). They are currently the best weapons for content outside of Hell like Towers, Arena and most collab events. They take heavy investment and luck to hit full potential, but they essentially fix characters like Tikilen and Eliza that are marred by their weapons and boost characters that actually work well like Fiore or Cyrus even further. Armor is up to you, HP regen might be better than negligible boosts in Def. Especially considering how defense buffs work.
>>1293508The A’s refer to Awakenings which is how you power up your character beyond levels. You can Awaken your 3-Stars and 4-Stars easily. But for 5-Stars you need to pull a character repeatedly to get their Awakening Stone.A1 - Stats +50A2 - 4th Skill SlotA3 - HP + 1000A4 - Exclusive Accessory U refers to Ultimate Levels. Ultimate 10 Requires an Awakening Stone.>>1293550To reach Idore you need to see ALL 5 of the previous endings.Ending A is in Board 2.Endings B and C are in Board 3Endings D and E are in the Final Board
how do we get more of these event board tickets?
>>1293853You spend your memory shards. 30 per day.But right now you get 3 extra a day from your daily tasks, all the way until 10/11.
>>129389630 per week actually.
The 20 free seals from today and yesterday got me a 4.5* Ophilia. I should've picked Lars instead of her for my selector earlier this month!I think this means I have each of the OT1 original 8 at A1 or higher now...except H'aanit, my fave girl from that game. I shouldn't complain though, after those many, many empty 10 pulls on the TS banner yesterday. Ophilia will serve me well in the Cleric Tower.
i am getting my ass beat refighting the TS final bossgetting those multiple +3s is deadlyi think ill just farm the robots, at least they can be auto'd....
this guy here >>1292605pulled again, again i shouldnt have, but just had my spider sense tingling, got fredall in all, dropped 1800 in free and 200 in paid (did step one on both) and made out with both new unitscant be mad at that
Got Serenoa up to A3. But now I only have 1 Conviction Ticket left. Guess I’m gonna have to wait until I can build more of them up.Getting 400,000 or even 700,000 Conviction Medals is gonna be a BITCH.
Something with my team composition isn't working but I can't tell what. Input?>Lars, 32>Gilderoy, 32>Hayes, 32>Frederica, 30>Wingate, 32>Primrose, 30>H'aanit, 32>Opilia, 31
>>1294655the levelduh
>>1294655It might just be your equipment.
>>1294708>>1294703Their equipment is mostly up-to-date, so I'll focus on their levels. I wanted to see if I was using the wrong travelers or something before I invested experience nuts. Wingate, for example, is only 4 star, but I lack a 5 star thief to replace him
>>1294720check the shop and consider buying viola ;^)
>>1294655I'm guessing Wingate is behind Lars, correct? I suggest placing Ophilia behind Hayes. You don't need both of them applying heals in the same turn, and Hayes doesn't mind missing out on Ophilia's heals because he has his own heal. I also recommend bringing a unit that has an extendable debuff. Viola is one option, but if you don't have her, Cless is a good alternative for lowering physical defense/Kurtz for physical attack.
>>1294756>>1294768Kurtz's debuff looks amazing, thanks. It will hurt to lose the 20% damage buff from Wingate, so I'll have to learn to use him right. I don't have Cless yet and $8 seems kinda steep for Viola, so will give that a try for now.Should I be hoarding Traveler's Sacred Seals for future banners or using them on the current Sacred Guidance?
>>1294926use them, you might get viola
>normal gameboards you just roll and get fucked>new gameboards you can just avoid threats completely
any other pass piggies here? i bought the ones with the awakening shards to exchange, but its not available for limited units.....should i just buy seals?
i did it, just bought seals, got 3 4.5s from themworth it
>>1295168It can be used to awaken limit units, but not seasonal limiteds, collab characters or villains. So you can use it to awaken Richard in a few months when he gets added, but can't use it for Fiore ex, Roland or Tytos.
>>1295197so the only limited like sacred blaze and mt
Holy crap I just counted my units, I have at least 26 units I need to put into hunts (25 minus Millard) Excluding Pomme a few else I could buyExcluding the free unitsExcluding the Arena units Also I am autistic and I feel icky if the unit I use isn't maxed level.
>>1295225Sounds like you need to stop pulling on banners until you're caught up.
>>1295246itll take over a year....
>>1295225Basically my approach is this:Get yourself a selection of teams. (I have 7-ish teams so far). These guys are your priority.Put 8 of them into a Hunting Team. Use them daily for hunts. You should be getting 15 Character Guidestones a day (21 if you have a pass).To speed things up, use the regular gold guidestones on the highest level character, once he gets enough to break through a level cap (so you bust two level caps at once). You get 8 characters getting their levels down, plus you get one leveling up faster so you can cycle out your character a little faster.
Alright confess, who bought Promme?
>>1295856Alright you got me.
>been ignoring learning how to use the game board feature>finally try it>lose 11 tickets over 5 attempts to clear the first traveler's boardAHHHHH this thing is FRUSTRATING
>>1295897Word of advice. Start with 8 tickets (with enemy difficulty set to 0). Then give it a whirl. The monsters and bosses hit hard (especially in higher difficulties) but can’t take much of a hit themselves.A well-balanced team should get you through most of the boards (with Idore being a major exception to the rule).
>>1295897start with 0 tickets and max difficulty, thats how you test
>>1296008How the hell do you do extra difficulty at 0 tickets? You need 5 tickets to set it at max difficulty.
Let’s see who’s left on Chance Encounters...WARRIORS: Aedelgard (Fire), Grieg (Fire)MERCHANTS: NoneTHIEVES: Sarisa (Fire)APOTHECARIES: EX Primrose (Thunder), Ogen (Ice), Morffins (Ice)HUNTERS: EX Tressa (Fire), Sertet (Wind)CLERICS: Yukes (Fire)SCHOLARS: Nina-Lanna (Dark)DANCERS: Lemaire (All), EX H’aanit (Fire), Neha (Ice, Dark)
>>1296075Also...SACRED BLAZE Zegna - Apothecary (Dark)Leon - Merchant (Staff)Canary - Thief (Fire)Ditraina - Scholar (Light/Dark)Nivelle - Scholar (Thunder/Fire)
>>1296049you do not
>>1296075you ready for pay for all these guys?
>>1296075You can really see how SQEX forgot about Merchants when you realize the last time a merchant unit released was back in 2022 and it was Millard EX.
>>1296098I'd pay 3 bucks for some of those, certainly not for things like Yukes though.
>>1296098You do know what Chance Encounters are, right? These guys are gonna end up on every banner eventually. You could potentially skip every one of them and still stumble into them on a random banner pull.
Wasn't there supposed to be a Triangle Strategy photo spot? I don't see it in memoirs.
>>1296152It’s there. Have you completed the Conviction Boards yet?
>>1296186Ah, no, haven't done the boards yet. Been really busy this week and figured it was all permanent content, so I've only been doing dailies.
>>1296186The boards are permanent content. The pictures are not. Be sure to do at least one board to get the picture. You’ll get a few extra rubies for your trouble.
>3K rubies>Not a single 5* Okay fuck you game, i'll just keep saving for Rinyuu.
>>1296249halfawy to spark bro! did you know the triangle strategy units got buffed!!
>>1296259No fucking way. I have just enough for Rinyuu. Pulling is the worst part of this Game.
>>1296264Rinyuu will come again, Triangle Strategy wont!
>>1296000Why specifically 8 tickets? And is that true for every board, including event ones?>>1296008Difficulty really changes things, wow. I wasn't expecting reward point bosses on a lvl 25 board to be *55* with max difficulty
>have all these questions to ask and stories to share>have to wait for new thread because autismThis is hell and I am suffering. Which is fitting because one question is if it's true that you visit hell eventually in this game
>>1296310anon this is /vmg/, it will be several days before archival, let alone page 10what makes you think you'll be visiting hell? because you're right
>>1296295Because the Gameboard uses a multiplier system with the reward. For each ticket you use, your reward multiplies by +1. So 8 tickets gets you 8 times the game medals.When you raise the difficulty, your reward is increased by .2. Raising it to 5 essentially doubles your reward.So using 8 tickets will mean medals x8, but add in the max difficulty and you get x16. And as you go through the Gameboard, you can increase the difficulty even further, thus multiplying your rewards even more.
>>1296536Also, this applies to every board.By the way... The maximum number of tickets you can use will increase from 8-99. But that won’t happen until after Bestower of All
>>1296235Thanks, I think the stream said the collab banner is til October something and we still have like 10 days of the login bonus so I should have time to get it. Will hopefully have time to do a board today or tomorrow.>>1296249I feel you, it took me 80 pulls here >>1292151until I saw even one 5 star; I didn't believe I could get so horribly screwed. Pulling in this game really does feel worse than any other.>>1296282TS will very likely come again. JP's had reruns of all collabs except their most recent and global's already had a BD rerun.>>1296310Anon, it will take at least a week for this thread to die. Post as much as you want.>>1296561Speaking of gameboard tickets, after the collab ends and we don't have the limited time daily mission for TS board tickets, is the 30 in the memory shard exchange each week the only source of them?
>>1296572Actually the Roland and Frederica banners will last for an extra week; it ends on 10/11, rather than 10/04.And yeah, once the Triangle Strategy promo ends, the Memory Fragments will be the only way you can exchange Conviction Tickets.
>>1296619Thanks
>>1296655Anytime, man.
Just started playing. am I supposed to be getting my shit kicked in by the master board with level 60 gear?
>200 pulls>no Frederica>two RolandsI should've stopped at 20 pulls, when I got my first Roland. No regrets, tho. Help me chose:>Roland A1 and lvl 10 Ult;>Roland A2;>Roland A1 or lvl 10 Ult and Frederica.
>>1296806Roland A1 and Frederica. Better to have a character than not.
>>1296806Seconding Roland A1 and Frederica. Our gal Freddie got some juicy buffs plus if you're rolling for TS, I imagine you want both. I got the same after burning everything I had, sorry you had similarly shit luck.
>>1296765yea
>>1296806Roland Ult and Fred
>contend a guy>he has a level IV swordanymore of these guys? i want dont to craft them all
>>1296810>>1296814>>1296830I'll take Frederica and save Roland's Awakening Stone to see what he needs more. Considered these characters to be good long-term investments, especially Roland. It doesn't look like they'll be easy to replace, since Roland is now the core of any merchant party. The merciless and selfish attacker like Krauser may at some point be replaced by Oskha, Partitio or someone else. But Roland will stay, Nona's company is enough for him to shine (she and Lionel became the friends I made along my way to pity). Thank you, much appreciated.
>>1296908what u talkin about, Krauser and Leon are the easy replacements
Ok guys, I have 500 fortune tickets, what is the farming strategy?
>>1296915Right now... do each of the “Master of” with max tickets.Or you could save up for the Dragon Gameboard, the toughest of the. All.
All these posts about how hard the boards are make me feel smug.Cyrus w/ Bloodstained Cup + Book of Fortune loaded with Mag + Eliza backrow deletes everything except that one Pardis fight (which you don't have to grind). The game is even generous enough to put full healing points before the bosses in the Final Board which makes blasting everything perfectly viable. Bosses just get broken by A2 and whoever else by Turn 2 so you can kill with Cyrus on first Break.
>>1297006Yeah, I haven't been having any trouble with the boards either (haven't posted on this board lately, still grinding Largo). Therion doublecast Hellfire with an elemental fortune dagger murders everything that's not a flag boss before they can attack. I bring his steal SP skill in case he needs to recharge, which happens about every eight fights or so.
boy it takes a long time to get through this final gameboard
Any recommended teams for the TS gameboard?
>>1297256Therion, Cyrus, Fiore ex and healer and debuffer of your choosing.
Elite Fragments: 100 (again)
>>1297339Anyone made a tier list for the remaining 4 stars? Which has the best A4 and so on
>>1297342>Jorn - dark Warrior; best A4 by far, lowers sword res by 10% when breaking; Jorn himself is rather useless.>Durand - light Thief; one of the worst A4, lowers speed at start of the battle; if nothing else, he can be a decent backpack in short battles.>Cornelia - lightning Apothecary; A4 raises dmg by 10% when exploiting weakness, probs good for characters who have stronger version of this effect as passive (like Largo or Edea); Cornelia's passive reduces SP consumption, not really good, but can work as a backpack.>Lolo - light Hunter; A4 lowers bow res by 10% when breaking; one of the best 4* units - 4-hit RT bow, 3-hit ST bow, 2-hit light AoE and he can be decent backpack in bow comps when we get Solistia.>Narr - dark Hunter; A4 raises dmg of crits by 10%; Ashlan's copycat.>Efrain - fire Cleric; A4 gives 15% staff dmg up and 50 Patk, would be pretty decent if we had more staff attackers; Efrain is a staff DPS, needless to say that 4* aren't really good for dmg, especially if they exploit rare weakness.>Brigette - non-elemental Cleric; A4 gives some aliment res and sweet 500 HP; has full frontrow heal, full frontrow 15% Mdef up and can reinforce someone else Edef debuff by 15%.>Kenneth - ice Scholar; A4 lowers ice res of all foes by 10% at start of the battle, pretty good if there's something that can prolong it (Aslyte for example); Kenneth has decent ice coverage and 3-hit tome ST just in case, he also can be SP restoring backpack.>Levan - light Scholar; A4 lowers light res by 10% when breaking; weakest Scholar in terms of dmg, utility and coverage, but can doublecast like Odette and he's still the best light DPS among 4*.>Paula - dark Dancer; A4 lowers dark res by 10% at start of the battle, neat synergy with Wingate's and Heinz's A4; passively restores SP and HP, has useless crit up buff (she can't even cap it), atrocious dark coverage (all her attacks are just 1-hit AoE with increasing potency) and the best Ult that lowers dark res by 10%.
>>1297065Sounds like I gotta finally get around to making an elemental dagger for Therion. I keep putting off making more fortune weapons because each one lately has taken weeks of void dust just to get the right skill on the rainbow character soul and I'm running low.
>>1297256Fire
Google Play is being a punk, there's a slider to use my $ balance in the CotC shop but every time I flip it, nothing happens and it resets to off.Anyone know a solution to use your balance? Not finding anything online
Dicking around with Frederica's ult to see how much damage I could get out of her. Seeing her hit the cap against the cragspear level 100 hell duo when they weren't even broken was satisfying.
>high-fuctioning autistic>always play lawful good in video games>can't bring myself to entreat/contend/purchase from NPCs in this game>...unless I'm drinking, like rnThis game is literally driving me to drink
Serious question, should I rather play this game, or the original console games?
>>1298528this one, the game is the friends you made along the way
It's so weird not having healing items. Sometimes I'd kill for a potion, other times I'm in love with healing my team in the back row. Reminds me of ArenaNet trying to break the Holy Trinity tank/healer/DPS in Guild Wars 2>>1298528This is an actual RPG, and uses most of the assets of Octopath Traveler 1 so you'll get a kinda similar experience. Just with lots of gacha and timer stuff bolted on. On the other hand, OT1 is still $50 and OT2 is $70
>>1298528if you want one linear story, cotc is betterthe mainlines as the namesake goes tell 8 different stories that can be hit or missgameplaywise they're fairly similar, but starting with cotc may give you a taste that entices you to play the mainlines as well
>>1298528CotC is nice because it has much more content due to being live-service and the battles are harder than the console games. But I personally like the console games more.
>>1298528Personally the console games start to bore after just a few hours but I love CotC. I've tried to get into both multiple times, but they just feel too aimless and empty to keep my interest and I can't stand how inconsistent the difficulty feels because of how wildly gear scales among other factors. If wandering into an endgame area from the start of the game and immediately picking up some gear that'll trivialize 90% of the game sounds appealing to you you might like the console games. If you'd prefer a more structured experience with a more curated difficulty curve, the mobile game delivers on that very well. I also vastly prefer the 8-man party system with actions being selected simultaneously over the way the main games' battle system works.
>>1298528Why not both? That aside, if you want a one off, complete jrpg experience, play the original games. If you want good gameplay and doesn't mind the shit gacha and some grinding, play this.Just to be clear, gacha being shit refers to the character collecting rather than the game's clearibility. Also you can skip most of the grinding without too much of an issue if you are not trying to minmax everything.
>>1298528The originals.
>>1297954Jesus. They're not broken and they're not natively weak to fire. Frederica after global buffs must be the most powerful character in the game, at least when it comes to her giganticly buffed ult nuke. Do you have her maxed out with A1 and U10? It's sad knowing my Frederica will never hit those numbers because I'm both poor and unlucky.
>>1299498>>1297954This is impressive but 2B and A2 from the Nier collab this summer blow her out of the water
>>1299537Neither my A1 2B nor my A2 A2 have ever hit damage cap to an unbroken boss despite buffs and debuffs and the boss actually being weak to sword or dagger. A2's doublecast from berserk will actually make her outdamage Frederica when the boss is broken due to damage cap rewarding multi-hit moves over single hit nukes but as far as raw damage in one big hit, Fred's on another level that no one can currently reach. Wish we could see beyond the curtain and find out how much over the cap she's supposed to be doing on a Sunfall nuke to a broken, fire weak foe.
>>1299498a1, ult 9 level 92, so still room for moar power. Tried to get her to ult 10, but had to settle for ult 9.
>>1299710No U10? I don't have the A1 buff for some more points of eatk, but I might hit numbers like that one day with enough buffs then. Nice. I wish this was a game where I could say I'd save rubies to pull for dupes on a rerun, but there just aren't enough to go around.
Should I just blow my load on the banner? I have both just at a0, but they seem like future proof units
What stuff is ongoing?
>>1299936Nah, they function just fine at a0. Save those rubies for Rinyuu and Bargello.
How far are you guys along the Triangle Strategy Conviction Gameboard. I just recently got Serenoa to A4. 600,000 more Conviction Medals and he will be completed.
>>1299954What makes Rinyuu and Bargello so in-demand?Also, not that anon, but does that advice apply to hoarding Traveler's Sacred Seals too?
>>1300518I've been slacking, Serenoa's still at 3.5. Nothing about him has me super excited so I've not done much with the boards
>>1300553>RinyuuSits in the back and chants permanent awesome buffs>BargelloParty damage cap up and great damage among other things.>Traveler's Sacred SealsMight as well spend them as soon as you get them. Almost all the OP travelers are limited, so getting some general pool dupes can be handy to power up when you have to skip some good limiteds 'cause rates are shit and we get too few rubies.>>1299937Pretty much everything in this game is permanent content. For current limited stuff, there's an art contest that a mere 10 people will win 300 rubies taking the place of the usual community limited time events where everyone can get 300 rubies. The Triangle Strategy collab is on now but the only limited components of that are the photo spot, the banners for the TS characters and some extra daily missions. The TS characters also get extra guidestones if you bring them to hunts for a limited time.
>>1300573It might be worth saving them for when Primrose and H'aanit EX join the pool.
