Hello everyone \o_
I originally started BF yesterday, but accidentally (and didnt know) downloaded EU version, played some hours of it and decided to quit cause so many bugs there and I heard EU version is about 6 months after Global.
Well searched Global version and started this game today (about 10h ago), mostly due to Chain Chronicle beign taken down.
My learning curve is going on but mostly everything is going fine. As playing with phone I couldnt reroll, eventho I deleted game and downloaded it again. I wanted to try cause my first 2 pulls werent exactly good.
After that pulls have been really good, I managed to do 3 & 4 Gem pulls before day changed and did them again. My next pulls in pull order:

Yesterday I got general info about summons that units whose number is >1000 are the ones I should get and well atleast Iam trying to pull them. Nice timing for this event. Dunno if timing has something to do with closing of CC.

Chrome, Vermillion and Rahgan can be evolved to 7* form and are all extremely good. Rahgan is amazing as an arena lead.
Darvanshel is decent. even though he's way past his prime, but he's a mitigator which are essential to clearing harder content so he'll do until you get a better mitigator. Welcome to the game! I feel so bad for everyone who played CC regularly. I would feel awful if BF had closed down so soon and I'll probably still be sad if I'm still playing when BF shuts its servers. Did you get the transfer rewards at least? Selena and Mifune are both excellent units both when starting out and later (7* Selena in a Rahgan-lead arena team will destroy EVERYTHING)
If you have any questions feel free to ask!

So RNG gods have been really good to me
I did fill that form but havent got them yet. Prolly taking some time to get them.
I did use some highbie from my short friendlist and finished 2 quests in Randall. Other one (tougher) took long time and I got "C". Shorter one I got "SSS".
Questions:
Should I use those tix when these new Global units are introduced?
I have made 6 pulls now but I havent got that extra reward unit, should I contact to Gumi? Link to info
Is best way for me to get gems via story mode?Gumi BF said:
Elulu was one of my first summons too. She still has a special place in my heart.
And damn, Chrome, Vermillion and Rahgan as first summons? lucky you. ;p I think my second summon was Elza (who'll be getting her 7* on global soon woot)
If you did 5 summons and didn't get a bonus, I would. From what I heard on the reddits, it's currently bugged if you summon 5 times over the course of the days, when it should automatically give it to you in your present box.
I had to put one in myself.
Starting out, yeah. With those units you should have no problems clearing the first few stages of the main quest. You'll get one gem for clearing each chapter.
Then there's Arena which can give you gems while you level up and the level up rewards from main as well.
Later on you can do Frontier Hunter, (I think you need to be level 40 for that to open?) and you'll get gems from the rewards there as well.

Yes those pics in earlier post are my summons divided between 2 game days (for me everything is made in 10h time) . So I will send a ticket tomorrow.
Iam doing story with auto (nice feature with these units). Trying to get levels asap too so that I can fit all my 5* to party, will help alot now. Later on when power creep starts to hit its time to think party combinations more (if I havent done it already by that time).
Yeah, try to clear as much of the story quests when there's 2x exp. That should make you level up quickly. Starting tomorrow a whole lot of events are starting including half energy vortex, super honor Summon and super fusion rate up. So save your honor points as you can get upgrade material from super honor Summon.
I also added you. I think some high level friends can help you a ton

, I accepted you. Still got room in friendslist. Yea main focus is now to use energy to story and collect gems as much as I can. After event is over I need to use gems to increase my unit inventory.I got a response from my ticket, basically telling me that it is supposed to be per day, but that is not how it is worded in any of the news updates.
It is making it sound like if you summon 5 times during the event, you should get a bonus unit.
"Summon count for the bonus unit will run until Jan. 24, 06:59 regardless of the featured units on rate up."

EU server is actually pretty freaking awesome.
- Their Exclusive units are stupid-OP.
- 'community' events that basically give you unlimited MP.
- Solid compensation when things go awful.
- No expiring dates on present stuff.
- Actual legit rate ups unlike Global.
- 3x game speed for making farming a breeze.
Sure, content is behind....but that is in no way a bad thing. I play on both and find I like EU a bit better.
The new GLBF units are Avani (Earth), and Mikael (Lightning):

It's pretty good. The best gates to use your tickets on are the limited pool gates (Frontier Hunter, Medal Rush gates). They only have 17 units (!) and they are all pretty darn useful. They cost 6 gems per summon because of the very limited pool (no shitty two year old units), but this is also a pretty good place to use them

Those exclusives aren't as OP as I thought. The first seems like he could be the new arena meta, but the second doesn't do anything for me.
Not sure I want to pull
Not sure I want to pull
Avani looks extremely solid to me. Top tier Spark damage buff on SBB (100%! That's the highest in the game - only Charla has a Spark dmg buff this good) and the best Spark vulnerability buff too! I'm definitely pulling for Avani, even more so since I don't have Rahgan. Knowing my luck I'll get Mikael as my gift box freebie though
Got an answer from Gumi. It seems that initial (not surprise) starting pull is not counted to this event .
.Gumi said:Greetings, Summoner~
Thank you for addressing us this issue. Upon checking my records, I have verified that you summoned five (5) times. However, you were unable to receive the bonus unit as advertised in the current summon event.
We apologize for this inconvenience, Dear Summoner. (๑◕︵◕๑
that's me ;p
Yeah I noticed that it might be you.
Btw did you play CC?
If not, would you like to have 5 tickets and some goodies?
I did play CC with 2 accounts and I cant claim rewards twice to BF. So I could give them to you (cause you been so helpful here).
All I need is your ID number and I think email (you can send them to me via private message).
If you have claimed CC rewards I need to find another helpful person that hasnt.
I never played CC, so I am not sure I can claim the rewards.
Lets test, nothing to lose. I add your ID & email to my alts CC account. This is done ingame so I think it should work. Toss me pm with ID and some email.
I think it worked
It says from 22 onwards. But for me it took around 24h after I submitted that. So if it is same for you, you should get them around 23h later from this post
.Youre welcome.

Looking at the full stats now, Avani's kind of sick. 100% Spark dmg buff on LS. Another +100% Spark dmg for 3 turns on her SBB. Then that UBB with the huge freaking 1200% AOE, another +130% Spark dmg coupled with 100% Spark vuln. Definitely trying to pull for her.
EDIT: Nope, got a Mikael (Guardian) for my guaranteed. Oh well, I did pick up a Febros and Rinon, so I'm not totally salty.
^ RNGesus is blessing you, Rix.
Sweet! I guess we'll find out in a few days. Thank you again!
I did one summon for Avani and got a 6* Rosetta. Is she still worth keeping? I see she's a good sparker. (But I have Elza too)

Elza's got a 7* on the way, Rosetta currently does not, so at the moment Elza is more future-proof.
Yeah, I'm anxiously waiting for Elza's 7* lol.
Ok, decided to use all my tix. Didnt get dupes but rather got outclassed units and my first 6* which prolly is outclassed too (it has 7* form but still)? Krantz is Oracle but Ill live with it.
When I have enough cost to add 5x5* to party should I focus to form party from these units:
Rahgan / Chrome / Vermillion / Charla / Krantz
Who to use as leader?

Chrome is better designed for harder content Offensively while Charla is a good lead for Defense.
Rahgan is basically Arena meta w/ Hadaron.

Lol it's only been two hours since the global exclusives got released and I already found someone that has a maxed out Mikael. Some people are crazy. Used ten summon tickets for the global exclusives, got Piany and a bunch of dupes for my trouble. Giftbox was a Guardian Mikael.
Shot you a friend request Rixa, I'm just "Justin" on Brave Frontier.

And its accepted.
So after spending some gems to unit & material inventory I decided to use rest of my tix & gems to "Super Rare Summon+" (2 summons yesterday, 3 today). I made slight mistake, upgraded Lord Charla to 78 and next pull was Anima Charla.
Is there use for 2 Charlas and if not what I do with another one and is Anima better one of those (I dont mind if I lose some exp)?
Second summon yesterday evening was 5* Darvanshel (I have that 4* version too).
So today evenings 3 pulls, I first looked I got two units from 800 series thus I was thinking they are outdated and I got one nice unit & 2 not so nice onces. Then went to check & favourite those units and was wtf these are not 800 series but 8000 series.
After those I went to see inbox cause I have got new stuff there and wth? totally forgot that special offer "Guaranteed 1 bonus unit of either Avani or Mikael for every 10 summons"
Ahem yeah those pulls & unit inventory in pics:

As seeing Avani being also 8k series, are those Global exclusive units or some collabs (Halloween?)? Frankly now I dont know what to. Atleast I know I dont need to summon anything for some time. Used 33 super honor summons too. My unit inventory limit is 135 so room is not the problem. Who should I use those crystals etc?
Damn, Rixa, you're using up all of the luck from the summon pool. That's a pretty stellar set of initial pulls you've gotten yourself.
When it comes to typing, Anima is generally considered to be the superior choice due to the bonus HP. It's not all that big of a deal in the end, though, so don't feel like you need to burn your Lord Charla to raise your Anima version.
Of the rest of your pulls, Jed, Ciara and Avani are standouts. Jed is a Brave Burst gauge filler as well as a Burst Crystal/Heart Crystal drop rate adder, which makes him good for pretty much all content. 7* Ciara is a monster of a unit, about the best elemental damage and attack buffer out there. Avani is the new arena sexy, and has some use in certain high-level content due to her normal attack rate buff.
7* Semira is a status affliction unit, which makes her really useful in particular content and meh in others.

Thanks to Rixa, I got those rewards from having a CC account.
Anyway, I tried to get a Krantz since his rate up is today, and I swear I never have any luck with using tickets. Got a whole bunch of nothing (3 dupes and a Behemoth lol the other one only had 6* potential :\), but I did get a Kira in my inbox. He seems alright, but I really don't know what to make of him. His LS is very niche, I have a Griff for the Crit up, but Kira has the chance to inflict Attack/Def down, which is nice.
Anyone else have some input?

Thanks for the info.
Beginners luck or something
. Ill raise Krantz to 80 & another Charla to 80 and after those I check how many Crystals I have and what colour they are and try to get as many units as high as I can (GS Rate Up).Iam not sure is it some prolonged campaing or why, but I seem to get "Christmas & New Year Login Rewards", today got "Day 4/30" -> 2 Crystals of every colour.
^^ EDIT: I think I get some days and when it ends, it ends for me too so wont get to 30 days rather getting under 10 days total, but its nice to get stuff I didnt think I get at all.
Iam really happy that it worked. Would been such a waste to let that other account be nonused.
Btw I havent got that missing unit yet, not sure when I get it.
Thank you again for it. Shame those tickets didn't really amount to anything (except merit points lol), but that's the way it always seems to be with me haha. Game trolls me.
From the other day? Neither did I.
Kira's real strength is in the Raid Medal Rush mode, where his crit buff and def ignore work well to blow through the content. Other than that, I mean, he doesn't suck or anything, but there's certainly better (coughZeduscough) units.
Hopefully that "Other day missing unit" is atleast good for you
. Is there list somewhere what those units are?Hopefully that "Other day missing unit" is atleast good for you
It's from the pool of 18 units in the popular summon gate.
Some updates about my progression:
Level 52
Unit slots 170 (going to increase these)
Item slots 185 (going to increase these)
Teams I use
Arena: 6* l.Rahgan / 6* Selena / 5* Vermillion / 5* Ciara
Everything else: 4x5* l.Chrome / Krantz / Vermillion / Avani
Yesterday I used most of my stamina to hardest level of Friday Dungeon and grabbed shitton of materials, Zel & Karma and got about 20 levels. When Monday hits going to do same with monday dungeon, if Iam correct its ½ Energy so it should be fun
Arena with my team is now really fun. Managed to get party cost up and evolved Rahgan & Selena to 6* versions.Huge improvement from 5* versions, now I have BB ready at 2nd turn while before it was ready 3-4 turns (and usually I ended up beign dead).
Then managed to get from "Brave Slots"
- Carnage Edge (+40% atk)
- Divine Sword (+25% atk)
- 2x God Armor (+25% hp)
Gave CE to Rahgan, DS to Selena. Iam not using these units outside of Arena.
With help of friends managed to beat Thunder, Water, Light Mecha Gods. My energy max is 52 so thankfully those dungeons are now ½ energy. Going to do more Mechas during this weekend. Rahgan & Selena are now ready for 7*, not evolving before I have enough Crystals & party cost.
I have done some raiding and just opened 2* raids. I know that in raids when harvesting you get stuff that you cant otherwise obtain but:
Whats the idea with raids, get rare materials at higher difficulties or can you acquire some units from there too?

Set Avani as your Arena lead and have Rahgan as sub instead. Avani is amazing in Arena.
You can get done characters in Raid but they're not that good. Raid is for farming rare materials to craft incredibly powerful spheres like Malice Jewel (30% all stats), Buffer Jewel (35% all stats) and Occult Treasure (40% all Stats)
