From what I've seen, I'm not convinced that there are actual rate ups going on right now. People are pulling from the newest batch, but more hits are happening from the ones that aren't being featured currently.
Also, and more disturbing, is that with the server instability folks are getting double billed for rare summons, FH, quest, etc. So, tread carefully.
I, just recently "finished" the troll trial 4. Basically treat it like fighting Reed in lv6 and keep may alive and only harm her when passing emilia's hp thresholds. I know she does it at 50% if may isn't alive and immediately after may dies for sure, so if you can get it past there without killing may outright, it should be "easy".
Unfortunately for me, the servers are down again, so I have no idea if I actually "finished" it or not...
My wife's two games were kicked out of the game entirely (new server disconnect option they have apparently), and she was forced to re-credential her games via facebook. Love these new "features". It also makes me think GUMI is getting DDos attacked for whatever reason. FH and better honor summons I can't imagine are wreaking this kind of havok on their own. The re-credentialing thing sorta nods back to that too...
Edit: nope, my run through trial 004 didn't count. I was "rewarded" with -100 energy, -100k exp (the game "de-leveled" me temporarily it seems), no unique completion, no actual trial completion and my arena orbs appear to be borked again being stuck at 2 orbs.
Oh well, I "only" pissed away 2 holy lights, 2revive lights, 2 fujins, and 2 angel idols on it... Screw it, I'm going to sleep...
yep. while we discussed attack isn't an important stat buff compare to the others, having it as a 'freebie' isn't so shabby.
Kuda's SBB combines attack up (100%) and critical up (40%) in the same unit, in addition to being 24 hit, so he's definitely an improvement over Mariudeth as far as BB spam and Attack up.

Guess I'll try for him when i can log in. Maridudeth would be nice to use another Crit booster for different situations. Mariudeth is who I use for damage while I use other units to boost BC generation, heh. So Kuda might be good to use when I want to use more heavy-hitters and lower the number of BC generator units.
Kuda's LS will become important for Tilith strategies when it gets buffed to 25% like it did in Japan. His LS combined with certain spheres can bring Tilith's BC cost low enough to be filled by a friend Tilith's BB. There's a video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTJ3OGiE6Yo
Anyone who doesn't have Zellha or Phee (the other units with the same LS as Kuda) should probably pull for him. I'd wait until the servers are stable though, people have been getting screwed by connection errors i hear.

You can get it back by emailing support. The sooner the better, but seeing as these server problems have persisted I doubt you'll get helped in a timely matter.
RNGesus at work man. I pulled 15+ times during Hogar's release and another 15 times during his 6* rate up, never got him.

This weekend is easily the longest span in which I haven't been able to log in at all. Hope the Gumi engineers can get it back up since its Monday morning in Singapore.
As far as RS pulls, Im convinced Players' Choice events have the best rates. 5* and 6* events seem poor in comparison.

Folks have posted more pulls out of this batch when it wasn't featured than when it was featured. I don't know how to explain that at all.
Summon ticket compensation bonus is in the inbox now too. Also, this rate up feels like a real rate up. I've tried 9 pulls and got 3 from the batch, although 2 were rowgen, so 2 dupes of him although I did pull a lord instead of a guardian (again) or oracle so it wasn't all bad. I also pulled kuda, so I am happy about that.
I was hoping for more than this across the 25 pulls in total that I did. I should have just waited till today to do any pulls at all it seems. I really could use ulkina still and nazra would be a good backup for the upcoming content. Tia wouldn't hurt either... Lol.
Tomorrow is pots/idols, so it won't be that long of a wait relatively speaking. However, considering the game was basically down for 3 days, they really just should have left them up. Which reminds me, anyone run FH at all over the weekend? I think I only did it like 15 times in total, which is pathetic.

I can confirm this myself. At first, I rolled a dupe (Melchior) but then I rolled Kuda, Tia, Ulkina, Tia in succession.
Servers are dead again, le sigh.
Got punked on trial 005 due to not owning a status removal unit essentially, which I'm not happy about at all. Insult to injury was the server going down as I tried to re-enter it again. The sad thing was, had she actually killed one of the two units she paralysis/curse locked initially, I'd been fine since I had both of my revives left unused.
Oh well.

get an ulkina!
I can put up my darvanshel if you need. SBB 10 and has been sphere frogged.
26 attempts in total to get ulkina.
0 to show for it. Not enough gems left to possibly make another pull prior to the end of the rate up event, never mind having enough time to evolve ulkina to 6* to ensure she doesn't get curb stomped during that trial (IE need fire totems, can't get them till thursday).
That's how I approach FH these days. Pretty much get the rewards then run it once a day and stay within the top 50k. Otherwise it gets kind of tedious trying to run it whenever orbs regenerate to try to get a +3.

I ran a few FH this weekend. Trying to keep it up so I can rank up twice.
Gonna work on leveling up Aneils and Kuda this week and probably getting SBB for Narza as well, I think.
Gonna also try to get Maxwell this week. Just need to setup my teams and execute properly. Any thoughts on how I should divide my units into teams for it? My available units are below. Got a few more below those but they're mostly fresh pulls like Rowgen

ulkina darvanshel rowgen (don't see it but you mention getting one), lily matah (lead), filler for any other damage dealer you like (that isn't dark).
Grah friend.
Should be able to solo. Just be super defensive.
This, but for saftey's sake, do make a 2nd team at least that is mostly offensive, but has some defensive capability.
So grah lead, nazra for mitigation/prevention, Rashil, Luther, and either uda, mariudeth, or alyut (assumes SBB). Bring a friend that is good for BB production as well (I like zelnite here, Kuhla will work as well, or deemo/miku/elza if you like to live life dangerously). This group will need burst damage so that you can break the SS cycle while also being tanky enough to not get wiped in the process. Tickle maxwell with grah/luther BB/SBB to get maxwell down the first time, then spam everyone else the next round (hopefully luther gets his regular BB up from the recharge available to participate again as well) which should secure the 2nd kill soundly.
My wife pulled 2 on her phone and one on her tablet in total. I had more pulls than both of those games combined and got squat.
One of my inlaws got one too, but the other 3 who still play got squat as well.
Also, use those +atk imps before you do the fight. Sure, you might not need them, but I think getting the win rather than a loss and wondering if they would have made a difference would be a pretty bad feeling to have after sinking 30+ minutes into the fight.
a 1 target infinite SBB spam unit helps a ton for pretty much all 1 target bosses.
well worth powering up for maxwell.
Maxwell's cap on imps is pretty low, so between a FH season and some misc imps along the way you will cap it out.
They are supposed to carry over. I know there were some problems before with folks and they weren't carrying over. I haven't tested it myself yet though...

Yes, Imps carry over through evolutions. Just watch out on fusing past the limit, Global doesn't give any warnings when you've reached your imp limit on a unit, it'll just keep letting you fuse.
Really pay attention to this.
The color will change from yellow to a orange/brown color when you hit the cap.
The unit analysis on reddit has the caps listed for the units covered there as well. Better to be safe than sorry and do them 1 at a time when in doubt.
I did around 400 pulls, 0 sphere frogs.

There was a guy on reddit that had 1400 pulls and only got 1 sphere frog.

Yeah, but it is on that better nalmika character. So that would be stacking on top of potential injury/weakness effects and not able to be resisted/immune from anything.
Basically making the possibility of normal attacks from bosses entirely meaningless and their special attacks not have as much bite in them.
The Fire unit looks like a zelnite/Lillith hybrid. The thunder unit being strictly better than darvenshel given how defense works and unless there is a buff clash for +atk somewhere in the team. The added benefit of not getting stomped by water units is a nice bonus too i think.
The damage absorption LS sounds like they could be really strong as well.
