Alt -> 7 pulls 14* Oguma and 5* trash Kiki
Surprised that alt got 5* at all tho.

Main -> 5 prem tix pulls: Roxymusic & Aoi \o/. I did want 5* healer. To get Rox & Aoi in 5 pulls \o_.
 
Gumi added total of 16 UR to chain fest?!?
They did add (after announcement):
Cheery, Kiki, Hajad, Sasha, Parchelle, Karen, Teresa, Sonya, Juliana, Islem, Aludra, Barienna

SR that were added: Fan-Fan, Vorg, Celeya, Hassan, Popra, Lucana, Rebecca, Phillip, Orianna and Nazuna

^^ Most of wont have csq. My alt made 7 pulls and got Oguma 4* (csq) and Kiki (trash 5*).
A shame, I don't know if I will even bother to use all the 1000 prisma I grinded last weekend. I hopped for a good chance of getting Lilith.

Man, what disappointing festival. But considering Julianna is there I'm tempted to pull once or twice. Must. Stay. Strong.

Did a Chain Story and got a Phoena. I read she is really good while in subparty (especially with a staff? The bad part is that she needs to be level 60). I've got a Deed on the Challenge Gacha which I guess I'd try to level up a bit.

I have 1200 Prima and 6 Premium tickets. Should I pull on this event you're talking?

I also think about pulling with my 12 premium tickets and leave 500 Prysma for v2 Tavern 2.

I'm really lucky with the Challenge pulls these days although I've been using no more than 10k Arcana Coins. Got 2 Deeds and 1 Nina. I'll keep them for later.

Hero, Kain, Patricia and the other v2 versions are actually pretty good, aren't they?

Yes, if you have that many tickets you might want to pull 2-3 times. Maybe even use up your 6. Don't bother with phoena just yet, though, her quest is hard and the resources you'd be using to level her are better used to level Orca or any new UR you get.

As Gizuko said, I would use those 6 Prem Tix for pulling, dont use Prysma at all. Save it for the later.

Phoenas leveling time is later, its expensive to level her to 60 and before that you dont do anything with her. At level 60 her 2nd ability quest is really hard and costs a lot AP (120 total). Also you will die on that quest (4 battles) thus you need to have many revive fruits ready to use :).

My alt cleared whole V1 world without help of Phoena. Only did her quest after V2 hit.

tl;dr Pull 6 times, dont bother with Phoena (yet).

Pulled with 12 Premium Tickets.

Got Alvert once and Nayel twice.
I also got Lilith and Aoi (yay!).
The rest was some 3* I don't need (unless they have some good Kizuna Ability, I'll look that up).
And I unlocked 3 Chain Stories.

I'm not disappointed I guess.

Pulled the trigger. Used my 6 premium tickets. Results:

1st pull: Lilith (isn't she like the best healer in this game!)
2nd pull: Roxanna (she is quite good, right? At least it looks like she is)
3rd pull: Kai
4rd pull: Slay.
5th pull: Dragon Slayer Vorg (he looks awesome, his second skill sounds awesome. Is he awesome?)
6th pull: Vorg again.

Even my noobness gets that I must have had good luck. But has it been awesome luck?

Awesome luck!

Your next goal is to get Lilith asap to 60 level, she is your new healer (Arietta can retire now).

Roxanna is one of the best buffers. It will help you a lot later in the game. You can use mage enhancers to her. She will be core unit for you later in the game for raids & quests where you need extra damage.

Edit: I dont have Vorg so cant say anything about it.

Gonna quit while I'm behind.

Used 6 tickets. 4* popra. Rest 3*. :(

I have another 6 tickets and 800 prysma. I just want musica. Or even another Lilith to LB my current one.

35 pulls:

5*'s
1x Parchelle
1x Cheery
1x Filiana

5* drop chance @ 8.5%

4*'s
3x Rebecca
2x Nayel
1x Roxanna
1x Celeya
1x Oguma

4* drop chance @ 23%

No Musica or Lilith but I can't complain with Cheery, Parch and Roxanna

My pulls got me Lilith, Parchelle, Oguma, Islem, LB1s for my Lucana and Cleora, and enough rings for my first Inami. Successful pulling I'd say!

I'd have preferred Aoi (less child-like, prefer burst heals), and Musica, but after getting characters like Roxanna and Sasha lately too, not like I'm complaining at all. Lilith is... welll, LILITH, and Parch will let me make knight teams that don't even need a healer at times. Great compliment to my MLB'd Deed and Mirielle!

I also like how many of these characters are single-mana use. Find it harder to max chain attacks when everyone takes 2 or 3 mana.

Should finally have enough chain stories to LB Phoena too. Rare meteor use will become more useful!

edit: Vorg is awesome for a 4*, sure. He had been my best Warrior for a LONG time, and I thank his atk increasing battle lust for getting me through lots of fights. I'd love to MLB him someday, efficient chara for the party cost. He still fills out my war teams.

Happy to report my pull, 41 pulls just one single Aoi. No 4* worth mentioning except I get 4 copies of alvert to mlb him.

I am so glad I didn't spend any money on this game. This is $100 worth of pulls and I would be so piss to trash $100 for this.
 

Gizuko

Member
Sigh, so many Liliths and I'm stuck with Filiana. Gonna have to rush Alvert's CSQ :(

Or not, at worst Filiana is worth 20 rings (even more if I wait enough).

Congrats everyone!

I made 5 pulls and got all 3* trash. I guess this is the gacha gods punishing me for pulling this week when I already have Lilith and Musica.

Did 4 pulls myself, Lilith (LB1 lol) and Lucana.

With this massive pool it's quite a surprise I managed to pull one of the few URs I have. But this gacha is a typical gumifest, bloated with units that don't even have a chain story.

I just hope we get Ocean's Dawn soon so I can blow my prysma for Morgan/Mira and not have to worry about these fests :p
 
20 pulls, the only UR I got was Aludra. Well at least if I get MLB Liam I am going to do great in Colo/Gaunlet (I already win most of the times though).
No more pulls for me until we get to know next week event.

10 pulls: Lilith, Sasha, & Alvert (LB2).

May YOLO a few times yet, but all the extra URs make it tough to feel confident about trying for Aoi & Musica. Even though I'd like Karen, Kiki, & Barienna for their CS...there's a bunch of non-CS characters added as well (like...Sasha for instance).

Probably better holding resources for Hati & Minoa than hoping to find a Musica in a haystack.

Now that I've got a bunch of good units lately (Lilith, Vorg, Roxanne and Deed) I need to look for a way to level them up for a bit.

Now that te crab quest has left us, where should I farm enhancer arcana?

I pulled with six premium tickets and got 1 Nayel and 5 trash 3*s.

Saving 10 more premium tickets for Hati, and then about 800 prysma (so far, aiming for 1000 by the time I get there) for Ocean's Dawn.

Edit: Also, if you read the update on the Chain Story festival, Gumi confirmed that they've nerfed Aoi's skill.

I really want Musica, Cheery, Roxanna, and [especially] Juliana, but the diluted pull is making me hesitant. I already have Lilith so I'm good there.

I think I'll hold out for Ocean's Dawn tavern, since I'm aiming for Morgan/Mira.

If you don't mind being slightly less efficient in completing hunt missions, Spark of Battle is a great quest when you have a Golem hunt mission.

-One golem per mission
-8 waves, so easy to get the mana for a max chain
-Can use the Margas and Yoyos for the limit break missions
-Not exclusive to this quest, but easy enough to get dominations every time since you're setting up for a max chain special finisher anyway

Okay guys... Something's definitely wrong with my luck lately. Not that I'm complaining, but that's the third time I've pulled Deed from Challenge Pulls. I also pulled Lilith and Aoi with Premium Tickets (Lilith's heling range is insane!).
Hmm... should I just MLB Deed with when they're about to get removed? I still have 4 Rasphias left, so I'm not too short on Rings when her v2 version appears I hope (I currently have 300 rings).

Challenge pulls have an insanely high chance of giving UR ring chars, sometimes I get them in two consecutive pulls. Unless you already have some better MLB knights I say MLB Deed.

Deed v2 is a tower event reward, so you can't buy her with rings. If you mean buying her v1 during the event (Deed v1 was available in the FR exchange during said event) then simply MLB her now.

By the time Deed v2 comes Deed v1 will be largely irrelevant. On top of that since they are the same character you can't use v1 as kizuna and field v2.

If you *need* Deed v1 I wouldn't wait until later. If you want her for any other reason then that's up to you, but if you have rings now and can MLB her by the end of the month I would just buy the remaining copies the 31st.

This is correct. I've pulled Deed almost 6 times even when she's MLB. I just sold her for rings for next month's ring characters.
 
Aren't next weeks characters also going to be in the Challenger Gacha (hopefully with the same ridiculous rates)?

Kinda makes Rings almost useless outside of buying stamina fruits and such, hopefully there won't be events related to ranking with others anymore. Because if it is events are going to be super time intensive since AP isn't a factor anymore then.

Supposedly we're eventually going to get really good fortune ring gacha characters, which will burn through our rings pretty quickly.

well it only took me like 700? rings to MLB her in JPCC?

200 for the guarantee copy and like 500 for pulls

How is she, once you get some quests done with her? The trial quests they put up didn't really sell me on her, since most of the time (casino quest) I felt like I would rather have a different knight instead.

she's pretty much a psuedo warrior with that critical rate

her charging skill and first ability works well together, you'll always get at least a 60% atk buff before her skill comes down

she probably won't build a team by herself though I would say, she lacks synergy with others, but is pretty splashable on a knight/something team if you needed someone else

depends if you need more knights or not I would say

I went and waste my rings on Inami, and see how many would it takes to max MLB her. Spent about 350 rings and got her MLB. Hope she at least good for coliseum lol.

Mmmm sounds good. Might toss some rings her way if I ever break out of the 400s, since she might be a nice replacement for Reilan in shorter battles. Thank you for the helpful insight!

Thanks for the answers. I'll wait until October 31st (maybe I'll get another copy until then) and will MLB her then. She would be my first UR MLB.

What's the best way to raise rank outside of story events?

I basically caught up on V2 and now I just want to raise my rank up to deal with AP and party cost increases.
 
Well, after farming the crap out of the quests the past few days and saving prysma I did about 30 pulls hoping for Lilith, Musica, or Cheery. Lilo and Nayel love me, also got Sasha and a bunch of rings. I pulled one time on my alt. (which I almost never use) and get Lilith! That is the universe laughing at me my friends.

If time spent isn't a big issue for you, the best way to raise your rank right now is to just run the 4ap quest in Breezeway over and over. You can loop and run it endlessly by using the arcana coins you gain from it to pull from the challenge recruit, selling everything you get for rings and then using the rings to buy stamina fruits to run the quest more.

Man, I got my second Musica.
When I saw her appearing I felt a pang of guilt and disappointment that only grows whenever I see someone hoping for her and getting someone else :<
Also stealth bragging because I'm still mad about Filiana.

edit: Wow, an unworthy post for a new page. Seriously what is wrong with my luck lately.
edit2: oh, I know. Whenever I start a colo match I get stuck in the loading screen, so I reset my data/wifi connection and that allows me to continue to the match. However, once I finish said match, no matter wether I win or lose my rank doesn't change. Is there any other way around it? Due to this shitty bug I got knocked to rank ~10k and can't climb back up.
