Yeah, this week is definitely support-themed. I was hoping to get my hands on either Farlin (easy mode anything) or Nympha (I only have 10% boosters) but seeing as I have a rather crappy team I'll just pull whenever they release Ocean's Dawn.

Thank you everyone!

That's where Lilith makes it all better. I don't fear bombers anymore.

I tried using a Lilth friend and it still required micro management, although it makes the boss wave easier.

Still, considered I auto all the story quest with just a sub lv60 party every quest with bomber should automatically +20 in its difficulty.

Man, I stuck level 80 Liam in my coliseum defense team and I'm getting so many wins now. I think it's like 1/3 successful defenses, whereas before I basically never beat anyone.

I'm tempted to try pulling for Aludra to go with him, but I think I'll hold off until pickups at least. I'd really like to avoid getting any Mimus.

If you get Aludra, that 1/3 becomes 2/3 atleast, or 3/3 on good days lol.

I'm waiting for the gold tickets so I can get Liam.

Everyone will get Liam and colo will be the same as today. Or worse for new players who couldn't get Liam.

Just did one pull and got Rowendia. Now I have MLB Rowendia and I hope that her blocking and special power boost will be useful someday.

At least she has a good kizuna ability even if she isn't a useful party member.

If you put two mages at the beginning then a full soldier team like mine can rush one unit and kill them at the same time before they have time to use their specials. I think that a single mage protected by 3 knights/soldiers is more dangerous than two mages.

One dash and the back mage is gone, so it doesn't matter if there are one or two...

Grr, I am starting to do the v2 quests, and I am getting these gold cards..... That are just taking space because they can't be sold.

Thanks, I always wanted more stuff that I won't use.

I decided to use Prysma for inventory. I had it at 165 before v2 hit, now its 500. Rest of Prysma (and 10 tix) goes to save for Dawn of Ocean (or whatever its going to be called) Tavern pulls.

I have Liam in main party as leader. My subparty is for Vienta & Phoena or in questing its Deed & Phoena.

With Trystan I can't reach the back mages with the dash, if there is a unit in the middle of every lane, though that might change once I have ready my MLB Yoshikage and his 30% speed bonus to other soldiers (I MLB him while trying and failing to get Yoshino with V2 rates :( ).

500 inventory. Holy crap. I thought I was in good shape a month ago at 100. I bought a bunch during the expansion sale. Wish they'd hold one of those again. I'm brushing the 100 easy now :(

Yeah 500 is max :(. I had 20 prysma when the sale was on so it didnt work for me. Abudance of prysma was the reason to upgrade inventory to max. Cause I know that if I left it to later time I dont have the prysma or the prysma goes to another things.

Oh I wasn't aware that Trystan dash doesn't reach the end. I use Sonya.

If in doubt pull at V2 tavern with cute arcana on the new map. I think the first real V2 tavern should be implemented in the next month together with the new main story chapter.

Hmm... pulled Deed with 2000 arcana. Is she good? I have ~250 rings, so I could MLB her if I collect a few more.
She's a good unit that's later outclassed by her 2.0 version. That being said, even though she is outclassed, she still makes a great kizuna for her V2 version so definitely keep a copy.

I LB'd all three of the current gatcha characters [Deed, Nina, Mefalnash], since the drop-rate on the gatcha was so generous and I had a bunch of Arcana Coins to burn through. Having them LB'd will improve the stats gained from having them kizuna'd [since it's based on their level], but it's not as massive as you might think. You probably only need one, but if you don't have Nina [or Mefalnash] I'd say it's worth pulling more. Nina is an amazing kizuna for archers/gunners/etc. and Mefalnash has a unique AP-restoring ability. Again, you really only need one of each, unless you're insane like I am. :/

you can't kizuna Deed V.1 with Deed V.2 as they are considered the same character and the no two copies of the same character in a party rule applies :p

Deed V.1 is good for getting Deed V.2 though in her tower event

Oh, you can't? Well damn, I figured since they were different versions that rule wouldn't apply. :(

Oh well, at least she still has some use for getting V2 Deed, so there's that!

If anyone else is going through the hunt missions, today's 30ap daily has 12 Cryones in it, only place to find them at the moment. Takes 150ap, but I picked up 7 rings as well, so it wasn't too painful.

I probably know the answer, but can you MLB Michidia and the other 4*?

If not, what purpose do they serve other than taking space and being "Kizuna" characters?

They say Marina is best 4* healer (LB0). Tho Iam using Orianna (LB1) so I dont have own experience of how good Marina is.
 
her stats at level 50 are 3200 HP and 4600 attack

then her first ability adds a bonus 30% on top of them

4160 HP and 5980 attack

she has a one mana burst heal and a per wave heal lowest hp unit

her only flaws are no status healing and no range, but she's arguably one of the best 4 stars healers out there and even more for people who haven't been able to pull a good healer

but basically the upgraded v2 characters are great if you haven't been able to pull a 4/5 star class, plus they have extremely low party costs for their rank

That is really good, if any of you Gafers dont have good healer, you should definetly max level Marina v2.

For myself I think I wont bother to raise Marina tho, I like that extended healing range. Orianna lvl 55, lb 1 stats:
3950 HP and 5650 attack
2 Mana required for skill heal and "Treatment" gives 20% heal to lowest hp on start of every wave.

Yeah I'm still using my LB1 Arietta and it doesn't matter that her raw healing output is slightly worse than Marina v2, but I have leveled Marina v2 to use her kizuna later (increase normal heal power by 7%, immunity to daze).

Does Aoi have a good kizuna ability? My main healer is LB3 Lilith so I won't be changing for a long time. Wondering who would be better to put on her once we get the update.

Aoi's kizuna is party wave-heal, according to the japanese wiki.
I always use Adelle, since she has same-tavern bonus (to make up for her SR-boost) and mana training.

Oh right, completely forgot Kizuna feature, yeah need to level Marina V2.

If you can take a strong friend with you I doubt you'll have much problems.

The third part is kinda hard though.

Completed the first two parts with a bit of managing but the third one kicked my ass quite badly. I'll wait for a bit before trying again. The skill is good, but I don't think it's worth a revival fruit considering how I can do the story missions without problems so far.

On C-C-F member Kobold has made Kizuna lista Kizuna recommendations / 1-3* arcana to keep. Very nice stuff about Kizuna units & low rank Kizuna units.

Fuck, I sold Faceless because I read in the 3* page that he is totally useless... well, I guess I could live without him.

Yeah I'm still using my LB1 Arietta and it doesn't matter that her raw healing output is slightly worse than Marina v2, but I have leveled Marina v2 to use her kizuna later (increase normal heal power by 7%, immunity to daze).

Happy to see that she is so useful, since I redeemed one with the Festivity Tickets. Now I'm not sure if I should try to grasp as many units as posible (to MLB her) or try to get a Toka next since she is Haruaki's sister and I want to see how their story ends.

I'll keep her and wait for other ring characters to spend my rings on.
 
Anyone get an Inami? I just got her card, but I'm not sure if she's worth MLB...

nah, not really

there are better ring gatcha characters coming up, so keep one for kizuna is good enough

-------------------------------------------------------

I like that JPCC introduced quests that require you to use 4 stars and 3 stars units. Also heard, there's one that requires 1/2 stars units. Really asking you to take advantage of all the arcanas out there.

Too bad my selection of 3 stars and below are pretty terrible. Not good enough to reach the deal 9k damage mission :[

Maybe I'm missing something but almost none of these look that good, I wouldn't know who to go for.

When you consider the dismal rate, you are looking at like 600 rings to MLB one.

I know global currently has higher rate, but no guaranteed it will be there.

Imo, Candace is a must (MLB). Aile is BiS in the subparty with volunteer's bow (attack only, not defense), but you only need a copy (she is good-ish in the field, due to +20% atk buff + missile skill.

Pentarou missed the soldier between Lilac and Candace, who is a curse user and a double edged sword (curses party if she dies), but has good stats and seems a fit candidate to MLB overall.

Rineia, the dual swords soldier, is nothing out of this world but has some uses (probably wouldn't mlb).

The runefencer is actually pretty good if she fits your team.

Keep in mind, the catch is that both the casino and subjugation events require you to have a wide variety of characters and teams. Therefore, if you have no knockbacks - get someone who can. If you can't build a mono-something team (except clerics, who are mostly for whales) get enough units. And so on.


Is there any post with the recommended v2 3* units in ccf? I'll put one together later if not.


Edit: the 9k mission is indeed hard. I'm at 8k, and probably can't get another 1k damage, even lolis have a limit.

Anyone tried doing the fr loop to level up?

Farm ac at breeze way.
Use ac to challenge pull.
Sell arcana for rings
Use ring to buy stamina fruit
Repeat and repeat

With the high rate from challenge pull, you can probably break even on rings. So it becomes free exp.

-------------------------------------------------------

I understand this, but can I wait 6 months for Candace? Maybe yes, but its not fun. I have waited a year for V2 and now I have to wait again? After a while we'll learn that there will be more powerful arcana down the road and some will write that we should hold and wait for it again. It's boring and never ending.
