wow. Frau in ring store already? I thought it was next month for some reason. Damn. I only have around 200 rings.
...you had to go and get my hopes up.
She's not actually available until tomorrow, but they've updated the graphic a day early (because LOLGumi).

I finally acquired 70 fortune rings. Are any of these current characters must haves or should I save my FRs? Reading a few posts above, should I get Frau tomorrow?

Ring Exchange characters are basically four-and-a-half star arcana. Their base stats aren't as good as tavern-pulled URs.
The real advantage of ring exchange characters is that you can buy they have a 100% effective drop rate; if you have the rings, you don't need any luck to MLB the character. While a MLB'd tavern character will still have higher stats....most players won't see that without sinking $$$ into the game. MLB ring characters are some of the best options for a free player.
Frau is a bit of a special case, though. She does get better stats at higher levels, but her biggest selling point is that one of her abilities is supposed to slow down the mana reels in-between rounds, making it easier for you to select the mana you want. (Only slot # 1 can lock in; my understanding is that slots 2&3 are still effectively random. I can't confirm that....since she's not available til tomorrow.) Her ability triggers from the sub party, so getting 1 copy will be a valid strategy for some players.
I would recommend selling off 3* arcana and really try to LB Frau as far as you can in the next 2 months...but whether you'd rather sit on your FR until you can MLB a ring character is a personal call.

Just saved up 40k honor points and did a 10 pull in honor recruit...
5* Lephret
5* Sasha
4* Celeya
4* Enchancer (archer)
Rest 3* arcana
It's definitely better to do 10 pulls rather then individual ones
Whoa. I've definitely pulled more than 10 times but only gotten 3* units. That's a great haul!
Yeah the sale figures are only for the Japanese release, which is a pretty good figure, but Western sales are pretty negligible at this point. Stuff like Chain Chronicle needed over 3 million downloads in Japan to get to this point and Western sales are *only* one million.
Thanks for that, been looking forward to this game for a while and hope SEGA at least handles localisation this time. Hoping it continues to be a fair game for F2P players.

Decided to take the plunge thanks to you and only managed one decent 4* Celeya with everyone else being a 3* with my 10* pull. At least I got Slay for another Chain Story.
I'm holding on to my honor points, just in case the rates for it get upped along with the tavern rates in V2. Or if they have a rate up at some point at least. Despite how easy they are to get, it just seems like a waste to use them now. The CCF data collection has 5* arcana at 1.81% and 4* arcana at 7.77%.

So is Frau still considered a must-have in global? I have a crapload of silver enhancers in my giftbox waiting to be cashed into fortune rings. I blew most of what I collected MLBing Lindsey. =x

This article always hyped her up pretty hard.
If you're going to buy her probably do it like this.
1) Buy one copy.
2) Level her up and use her a bit.
3) Wait two months.
4) Decide if you want to MLB her.
Actually, I think to this day (even after Candice, FR gacha character with both slot slow and increased chance to get 2+ mana) Frau continues to be the best slot control character to have in the main team.
You usually won't want to waste a subparty slot on mana control, since most subparty buffers offer too big an advantage to lose in favour of an ability that is in effect when in the field as well.
To that extent, both Candice and Frau excel on equal terms, since they are both "field-able", while Sherry is stronger the less mana you have (and I presume rotate slow will be used to hoard as much mana as possible) and has a 3mana skill, and Niu is a 3* warrior (good for casino but that's about it).
What makes Frau better than Candice is the fact that Frau is a pure support character, while Candice is a DPS gunner that loses one self-buffing ability to get an utility one. This seems ok in most cases, but chances are Frau excels in gCC's current meta (that is, Selene stat-stick) due to making big numbers even bigger through pure support, while Candice will leave numbers as they are and the DPS probably won't be as high, due to her MLB stats being not-so-good (incredible for a FR character, but still fairly on par with a continent of sins LB0 gunner).
Also, do note that Candice left the FR gacha around the 15th last month, so Frau won't get a decent contender for a while.
On a side note: I didn't write about the other 4* mage the author of that comparison post mentioned because I don't have said arcana, but then again, if it is the one arcana I think he is, he is Kizuna material more than anything else (1mana at the start of battle).
And that about sums up my reasons for MLBing Frau in gCC. Hope it helps those of you who are on the verge decide wether to get at least 1 copy or LB her.

Wow this AP buddy system is pretty tight.
I don't fully understand it but I think it's basically 100 free AP every day as long as your friends are active. 50 AP guaranteed because you get one AP for every AP you send.

Yeah, I think it's a demon raid per month or something so I guess we should see two before she leaves, maybe V2 gets released as well, makes it a bit easier.

What is your guys' arcana limit? I'm debating whether I should spend the prysma to expand mine as I'm a bit of a hoarder.
KenjiGlove
Banned
Just increase it a bit, in the end, 50 prysma is just going to be a 3* or something.
I've got like 80 slots myself, zero problems with inventory management.

I jumped it from about 70 up to 100 during the sale late last week. I have too many weapons right now; waiting until v2 before using them. My typical arcana load is the mid-50s plus enhancers.

So I'm not 100% sure on how it works but from what I noticed it works like this:
Every day you can send one AP to all your friends (you can also press the "send all" button to make it easier)
For every point of AP you send you'll get one AP in return from the game itself. As long as your friend list is full you'll basically get like 50 free AP every day for free.
You can claim the AP your friends send you, this basically means that every day you can get up to 100 AP if you have a maxed friend list.
Your AP can go over your AP max, meaning that you can have something like 100/50 AP, your AP won't regenerate though.
Anyway, this system rewards you for having active friends.

Upcoming demon raid event character and the demon herself in JPCC:
Thanks for the explanation!
man why can't they be reversed, I want the princess as the demon
KenjiGlove
Banned
She's easily the best card I've ever seen, I think I'll save up prysma just to get her in Global 8 months down the road.
So after getting the 8M points I'll have to grind the hunt missions. I seriously want that princess.
By the way, what happened with the oni lady? That one with the cooking knife and the yandere-ish look?
Ps. Is it known why there is a rod as a 15M reward? I mean, what is the difference between that one and the one with the same image but lower point requirement?

I'm guessing the yandere oni lady will probably a future something? I think we assumed it was the next FC character but that was proven wrong so dunno, maybe the total war event?
I think the 15m rod is the same as the 1m or something rod, lol
Just giving you a second chance to get a 15 attack rod I guess
I, too, thought she'd be a FC character, it wouldn't make much sense to add a new unit to the 9 territories and all... Oh well, time will tell.
As long as it isn't a better version of the one we have already it's all good in my books haha. It is true it has the same star rating so that's probably it.

That artbook is looking good! Although I'm a bit tired of Velnar at this point, seeing the kemonos take the stage is very welcome.
No princess here, the gacha even decided to add insult to injury by giving me a Rowendia. I did get 2 copies of the hammer soldier and the SSR from the FR gacha, so it's something.

Any one manage to get the last chest drop from the "Desert Exploration - Expert" quest?
I'm 0 for 9 tries so far and I feel like I'm just wasting my AP... I bet the reward isn't even worth it
Reward is a rank B blade. http://chain-chronicle-global.wikia.com/wiki/Shamshir
Haven't tried expert yet, since I'm missing one of the chests in the prior quest, & I'll probably try for the free 4* arcana when that quest goes up tomorrow before tackling expert.

the artbook is pretty nice
a lot more full page art than the first one
haha, you can still be helpful by putting up treelinca again~
EDIT: lol, the demon's 2nd ability basically gives her an auto-revive+full heal
so op
guess I'll put some effort into this demon raid
Will do, after all I'm going to end up with either a MLB Rowendia or a lot of rings haha.
I won't give up though
I didn't know that! There are very few knight-class demons, so I was interested to begin with, but knowing that, I'll be spending some VF this time around.

Will posting the entire CC OVA here, subbed and in decent quality get me banned lol?
Going by the anime thread rules, that's not a good idea, unless it's been put out officially.
Looks like I'm gonna just miss out on the coliseum top 50 tonight, had to waste too many battles defending during the day. Still, pretty happy to have climbed back up so fast after missing the last several hours a couple days in a row.

Yeah, pretty cool. Brave Frontier collab right?
I check in every once in a while during the day. If someone knocks me down, I fight the highest opponent on my old list to both gain ranks and cancel out the defeat I took. If it's been several hours and no one has attacked, I refresh the list to try to have valid opponents when I am hit.
Then at the end of the day you need to have at least one battle left. When the clock hits 14:50 or so left, attack someone and pause the battle. Unpause with a little time left before the end and get your rewards. It's actually impossible to hit the top 50 anymore without using the pause trick, because when someone is currently being attacked they can't be attacked by anyone else (it gives you the "your opponent's rank has changed" message). This means that when you get to the very end, all the top 50 has someone attacking them with a paused game. So if there's, say, 2 minutes to go and you try to challenge anyone there, you won't be able to fight anyone.

I just checked the MAL page of that OVA and I noticed that the Seiyuu's are all pretty well known and stuff, at least for me. I never noticed it since I play without sound so it was a bit of a suprise.
Ah, that seems pretty smart I guess, maybe better than doing everything at the very last momentt. I'll probably try it out tommorow.
So you're swimming in Prysma right?

I never though that the old opponent list was valid so long they hadn't changed their rank already. I assumed that if you lost a rank it wouldn't let you use the old list.
Good to know.
