Chain Chronicle |OT| Funding Valkyria Chronicles 4 One IAP At A Time

At least the new event missions are ok. Got all the chests in one full shot of stamina and the 8ap one seems good for grinding some xp.

Actually the 10AP one has the best ratio. 1100 exp for 10 stamina, that's 110 exp per stamina!

There's also a 2* enhancer in the 4th chest.

The 8 AP quest gives you enhancers in chests 2-4, though. I think that works out to more enhancer XP, even taking into account that the 4th chest of the 10 AP quest is a 2*.

A 2* is worth 10780 and 1* is 2960. You need 3.6 1* enhancer to get the equivalent of a 2*. Now if we had drop rate, it would be better to make some projection. I will certainly run the 10ap one since I need the exp to rank up.

Also, my luck at pulling sucks. Just got Darnady so far.

The rates for chests during the daily quests (with Nimpha) are:

1st - 100%
2nd - 58.5%
3rd - 26%
4th - 19.5%

Assuming the rates are the same:

8 AP Quest = 3078.4 XP worth of enhancers per run = 384.8 XP/AP
10 AP Quest = 2871.7 XP worth of enhancers per run = 287.17 XP/AP

Also, the 8 AP quest has knight, soldier, and cleric enhancers, while the 10 AP quest has knight (1*) and archer (2*) enhancers, so the 10 AP quest is even worse if you aren't leveling an archer atm.

I suspect the drop rate of the 4th chest with a nimpha would make the 10ap one more efficient. I got it in 3 tries exactly.

The only thing I don't like about the 10ap one is I have to pay some slight attention. Too many fast runners.The 8ap one I can just ignore.

Got a dannady and an Angelica (already have one in my main party so will LB).

Also got a Toka, and I have Haruaki.

Any point keeping her? I usually use a warrior team, but already have a lv60 Coro, MLB Trystan, lv50 Angelica, MLB Selene (at lv40 so far)

Touka has wave heal which is really cool for going without healers, like demon raid. Ogre damage bonus is a bit more situational of course.

So today I decided to whale it up, since I really wanted several of the arcana in this event.

And on the 3rd pull FINALLY MY WAIT IS OVER

But 8AP has warrior and cleric enhancer, which is more useful than a archer one. So to me it is about 2.91.

It took me 5 or 6 tries to get the 4th chest on the great, so I don't think the drop rate is that high.

Are there any better healers than Lilith in v2? Just managed to draw her and am working my way through Adelle's chain story with the 5* cleric weapon at the end as was thinking of putting it on her.

For pure healing Lilith is the end game.

The only one comparable is Trelancia but she's a lot more for buffing than pure healing.

Does anyone else get offended when they pull particular characters?

Only did 2 pulls here, one trash plus one Johan. JOHAN~!!

Managed to bag~a~Mei at weekend but not sure what to do with her, esp. with Selene etc. to level up. She can sit in the corner and stare for a while.

I pulled one more time just because. Ended up with Adelle. Ooook. I guess that's not terrible. No poison heal is rough though. And 2 mana for her heal is tough too.

Thoughts on Adelle over a LB1 Melvina? Her regular heals will be far superior so maybe for that reason alone I should work on her. After Selene and Trystan that is lol.

It's so tempting to just blow through the remainder of my tickets.

Lilith has a chain story as well, and I think it rewards an A-rank rod, you should check it out, just in case.

In other news:



I got the drop from JPCC's (better) version of the Mei quest woo

Oh, congrats! Have you tried her? How is she? I'm tempted to try get a copy, but Mei burned me out.


Off-topic rant: Damn the Sins Casino. Who on earth thought the mono-archer quest was a good idea?

Minimo follows me everywhere I go. But that's okay since I like her :3

All the extra copies are being used for rings to help my "Lindley MLB relief fund" but seriously Ryubi seems intent on wasting my premium tickets :(

I really am tempted to just keep pulling. Even if v2 hits, I can't think of someone I'd want more than Lilith and who knows when we'll see her "featured" again.

Haven't tried her out yet since I'm running low on exp but looking her up, she seems to be a good defensive knight. Her skill is way too expensive though but her abilities give her passive defense boost and a heal lowest hp unit per wave. Not too bad.

and lol on the mono archer quest, saw a video on that, crazyyyy

She doesn't stay forever? I thought she would be added to the Holy capital tavern.

She_should_get added to the Holy Capital Tavern. But Gumi, lol

I think Garath meant featured as in "increased rate".

I was going to say Gumi wouldn't do that, but ... Well, it's Gumi we are talking about.

Yeah. I meant the increased rate and smaller pool even for v2. I'm so close to doing it lol. 3% is soooo low though.

Just got Adelle so maybe should just use her.
 
It also depends on if Gumi will follow Sega's lead in V2 and have featured units for each taverns which have increased rates out of all the SSR/SR.

These change every month or two which helps in knowing if you want to pull or not yet.

Which reminds me that Lilith is featured right now...

The problem with lilith is that Holy capital's tavern is crowded, and pick up isn't fail-safe, I have pulled Sasha, Cheery (twice in a row! Instead of sensei!), Angelica, and a lot more while they weren't on pick-up.

So yeah, this event is quite good in that regard.

And yes, Trelancia and Lilith are on pick-up, gotta get one at least :p
Which reminds me I should pull at soul island too, a couple poison users would do me good. I want a kemonomimi arcana, though D:
 
True, I ended up getting an Aludra from the Vice Capital gacha while I was seeing if I'll get lucky to pull a Hanf lol

Kinda waiting to see what the upcoming tower event will bring

Wow. Pulled 3 more times.

First 3 pulls were:

Robby
Roy
Franz

Last 3 pulls were:

Robby
Roy
Franz

Is the game messing with me?

edit: LILITH!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT.

Wow. So I did 9 pulls and got:

Robby x2
Roy x2
Franz x2
Maurice
Adelle
Lilith

Omg. So happy. That is my first non-ring, non-demon 5*.

edit2: Now should I get greedy and try for another copy? Is she good enough at LB0?

Stop pulling! We're still talking about a 3% chance, and unless you want to dump it all and there's something else in the gacha you want, you already got the main prize.

Lilith is already good enough at LB0 that she'll carry you through v1 and dare I even say most of v2 content, provided your other team is strong enough. Each LB is only a mere 500 ATK more.

What's even more silly is that she has a 30% single target heal per wave. Throw a Selene in your party and that number rises to 51%.

Anyway, congrats on what most people consider to be the best healer in the game.

Don't get too greedy :p There are folks in this thread who pulled 20+ times and didn't get a single 5*. You got really lucky, gratz!

Lol yeah. Even though I wouldn't mind an UR knight, I'm going to leave well enough alone and save the remaining 8 tickets for v2. I honestly can't believe I pulled her. I have had the worst luck in Chain Chronicle. Like not getting anything for free. No extra demon pulls, no UR pulls, no Mei, etc. So cool.

Unfortunately this is yet another character I have to level now lol. I'm also a little short on cost to bring her into the party with another 5* sub :/

I know how you feel, I've also never pulled anything higher than 4*, had super bad luck on the two demons raids (only 1 extra coro), no extra Armilus, no Mei even though I grinded that quest a number of times - then suddenly I pull Lilith and Aries in this event :p

Good news about Lilith is that even as a normal type, she gains a lot of the stats early. Mine's level 19, and already has almost more ATK than my LB0 Melvina at max level lol. I'd advise you to just get her to 30 fast for her second ability, and you can slack off a bit with her leveling - the stats are just that insane.

I know this post is serious #firstworldproblems, but I was getting jealous of the luck everyone else was having and did 10 pulls with all of my remaining prysma. I got 8 junk 3*s, but also Lephret and Lilith.

...but I have LB3 Mei, who I've already leveled up to 27 or so. Is LB0 Lilith that worth it over LB3 Mei?

Good advice. I may lay off the Selene leveling for a little bit then and work on Lilith till 30. 1-30 never takes THAT long. It really slows down around 40.

Heck yeah.

Sidenote, This is a LOT of Lilith pulls. She has to be higher than 3%. This many people getting her with 10 pulls or less is crazy.
 
I guess I'll always roll from the Holy Capital tavern from now on. Worst case scenario is getting more knights for my (useless) knight team but I can also get Arrieta, Toka or Lilith which are all Arcanas that I want to obtain and Limit break.

I remember seeing some comparison, and LB3 Mei is pretty close to LB0 Lilith. Ultimately I guess it comes down to which passives you like, and if you prefer 1-mana short heal or 2-mana, longer lasting heal. Lilith has a single target heal and Mei has a 5% damage reduction.

Dump Mei. Like, right now - just don't sell her. My condolences, though, getting her was painful enough.


Also, congrats to all of you getting Lilith! Best upgrade ever.

Edit: Before I forget, Lilith's range+healing increase vs Arietta's (Open Heart - same as Mei):

Did around 40 pulls in total spread over 2 days (around 2000 prysma I had
from Amazon coin sales and promotions
) and this is what I got in terms of 4* and 5*:

5* Lephret x1
4* Dannady x1
4* Ihelmina x1
4* Adelle x1
4* Elda x1
4* Toka x2

Chance of pulling 4* or higher is at about 17.5%. Chance of pulling 5* is about 2.5% from my sample.

(BTW that Lephret came out on the 35th pull... I was about to throw my Galaxy S3 out the window by then)

At least I can make a Knight team with some of these. Elda seems like an easy sell. Haven't decided what to do with Toka yet. My warrior team is already pretty strong, sigh...

ok. You have done solid work here. I will cease pulling. On the bright side, the 2x Toka will be good for demon raids with the wave heal.
 
Wow!5 tickets spent got me Parchelle and Arietta so at least I'm out of the Latty ghetto but...
dat Lilith...

Logic says to stop but with some of the pulls here+what I got it almost feels like the rates are somehow better than usual.What's the best percentage event she can possibly be featured in v1?

Oh wow, yeah, I didn't notice since I had failed 3 screenshots already, but I really should have put them on the center square since this way is misleading. Both areas are measured while the character is on the leftmost square.

Sorry for that.
