same here. I'd say about 8:2 for every A and S. I've gotten one SS. I spent £20 yesterday on 300 rubies hoping it would be the one to bring me a tier 1 SSS ;_;

Yea I aws going to ask. Is it worth ascending if you don't have the resources to enhance? What are the base stats of a Draco? Will a +0 Draco be better or worse than the +ULTIMATE that you used to get him?

I'm so torn right now between continuing to make new SSS or upgrading my existing SSS. I really should probably be upgrading, considering I can't make it through Myth mode with them at base enhancement level. But man it's so much less fun than rolling the dice and getting a new ally. If I could just get 1 SSS healer, of any kind, i'd feel totally fine at this point upgrading my team. I know people make it through Myth with Ranran, but I can't help but want something better. Plus, I really want to make Blackaria first since I've had such a harder time pulling good healers and finding healer friends that aren't already full on their friend list. I'm pretty good on DPS with my very lucky SSS DPS combines.
Maybe I'll switch back and forth. One ally to +5, then make a new SSS, then another ally to +5. Then eventually I'll max out whatever.

+0 will be worse than a +U. They aren't 150% stronger, more like 60-100% stronger (at +0).
But that difference will be bigger the more you plus enhance your Draco. They end up at least twice as strong as most units (excluding top tier SSS). I mean, Greywind is doing 25k crits without a weapon.

So let's see. A +ULTIMATE SSS is 150% stronger than a base SSS. So if a base Draco is, say, 80% stronger than a base SSS, 2.5 / 1.8 = 1.39, which means the break even point for a draco is about +4. Give it +/- 1 just to be safe. So maybe we can have a general rule of thumb, don't ascend unless you can get it to at least +5?
I did 14 pulls last night and got all As. Not a single S. That's pretty much normal. It's the same way I combined for seven SSS warriors out of my 9 total SSS. Just RNG at work.
I'm almost 60, and I will get the 280 gems or whatever for hitting that. I'll do 15 or so pulls and will post a video of 15 or so As. I'm cursed!
We were fighting some Level 60 guys who had +ultimate draco units in gb last night. Was ridiculous.
It depends on the unit, but yeah, from what I can see, that seems about right. Bottom tier like Karang the Draco is probably better at +1 or 2 (compared to Ultimate), but top tier it might be +8 or so.
My Draco is doing less damage than my MAX+4 Freyd, but honestly not by much.

BTW, if there's anyone who hasn't followd gamevil on twitch (which I expect to be almost everyone), do it now, even if you have to create a twitch account. At 5,000 followers we get a reward code, and they're less than 140 followers away from unlocking.

Oh nice, didn't know they were that close to 5k followers already. They just might reach it during the stream today hopefully.

Followed. Did my part.
By the way did the new stream on Dragon Blaze is already finished ?
I know it was scheduled for today but I'm pretty bad with time zone conversion -.-'

I've found I think 7 or 8. Sucks that they're only from boss monsters. Means that if you're just doing story progression, you'll get almost nothing, because out of all the hundreds of shoes it takes to clear the story content, you only have 4 or 5 chances. So the only way to get them is literally to grind boss stages.
Yeah. That's exactly what I figured. Just wanted to double check. I've been getting some nice ones from the spider boss. That exact wand on the left is what my Pari is using, going to replace it with the one on the right then have another one like it that will go on my Captain Turq.
Are you using Gmail? Gmail splits your mail into Primary/Social/Promotions tab, and mine went to the Promotions tab.
No, The codes will be posted in this thread by someone, I'm sure. I haven't watched a stream yet.

What would they fix? Seems like it's working as intended. I think this is what they WANT people to do. Makes sense for them, because HIVE is a gamevil owned property, so they want to encourage people using HIVE friends because it gets their existing users playing more of their games.

Speaking of codes, did any of you get the 40,000 Likes code to work in the US? I just kept getting that I hit the maximum number of codes. Never tried it again after a few days of trying once a day.
You might have gotten that reward even if you got that message. I got the same message just a few minutes ago when inputting the SS preregistration code and then checked my in game inbox and found the SS summon waiting for me.

Another thing is that the 40k likes code was active even before they announced it. I claimed that code at least 2 weeks before they announced it was live, because I saw it posted in some thread. So it's possible people already received the reward, but forgot exactly which codes they claimed, so then they go to claim it again once they officially announce it and get the error message since they already received it.

Correct. I'm guessing there will be a new patch every 2 weeks or so that adds more content. I think we'll get one more area in normal mode, and then after that we'll get hero, legend, myth, and nightmare.
Korea version got a new area every 2 months.
I don't know if we will follow their pace or not.
But letting people time to farm the content is nice too.
2 months?! I think most of us will finish this in under 2 weeks.

How long after initial release of the game did they get season 2?
Hope so.
Been farming the new raid boss, got 3 SSS already. 2 Shields that I don't know what to do with, one of them has
Accuracy +17.7
Critical Rate 12.7
Defense Penetration 23.6
Lightning Damage 155.1
Other is
Critical Damage 31.9
Accuracy 14.2
All Resist 6.4
Holy Damage 137
Which one should I use? The top one seems best for a possible Ascended Deathcrown. I think Critical Damage is pointless for Allies because its difficult enough to get the critical rate up.
And I got a pretty nice dagger I think, from the Raid.
Critical Rate Inc 15.9
Weapon ATK Inc 175
Accuracy 14.2
Additional DMG 255
Not sure if I put that on my Rogue or on Greysoul (When I get him)

absolutely no one coming up for matching in myth komodo fairy
Komodo fairy can go fuck itself. I hate all the shit players in myth deus raid.
No crit rogue? Why the fuck is he even playing?
Also, some shit players like this shit priest called Darkaheal that doesn't even use any active skills.

I hate them too, but to be fair, when you're levelling an alt, chances are you already have fully powered up allies and as a result your main character suffers. I main'ed a warrior, everyone is decked out in fully upgraded Myth Blazing gear, but I started leevlling up a rogue. he's 55 now, almost through myth, and his gear is complete shit because the allies carry him. But I still need to clear those raids at least once for the first-time ruby rewards. One solution is to give him gear that is farmed by my main, and I do that to some extent, but now my main is 60 already and my rogue is still just 55. So my main is doing the new raid and not getting level 55 gear.
So ultimately, I just want to clear DC and DDC once, get the reward, and then level him up to 60 and give him gear from new raid.
I agree it sucks, but the system is designed in such a way that some players are definitely going to be shit because it's an alt.
all I need is one win ;_; all i've met so far is bots which die pretty quick, and i'm not wasting revives on them.
Of the 2 shields the first one is better since crit damage is meh like you say concerning crit rate on allies, but for shields in general they are both pretty bad. I have a Sta,Str,Def,Boss damage shield on my byron I'd just prefer adding more hp, and def on a tank first and then accuracy would be nice too if its on the same shield, whatever else would be a bonus, thats just me though regarding shield stats.
You could just keep the shields until you get a better shield or another SSS equip so you can just feed em to it unless you really need to use it then just equip the better one for now.
For the dagger I think prioritizing crit damage for greysoul is better because of his ridiculous passive when he kills an enemy(+79 crit rate, +212 crit damage), crit rate could be useful too but there are diminishing returns on stats right? so up to you on that. Both crit rate and crit damage would maybe be perfect.
If your rogue needs the crit rate then putting that on him would be fine too, its a pretty good dagger.

Except that is their main character.
With raids, I don't bother trying to get into raids with an alt that I'm powerleveling until it is fully equipped.
There are ways to play this game properly with respect for other people but these fuckers are just pieces of trash.

If it weren't for the ruby rewards I would agree with you, but it's like 400 worth of rubies, so I can see why people are too tempted by it and just try to squeeze through with someone carrying them.
In any case, if it's their main character or they're not even using skills, then yea that is bullshit.
It's there, and you get them in the mail after you claim them in GM reward I think.
No just for raid bosses and some other specific quests. It's a nice amount of Rubies if you make it to 55 or 60, but that;s quite a long road.
At this point I wouldn't do it anymore. I prefer farming stages that yield Essences.

yeah, the counter is in the monthly rewards tab. Just fill it up to 10 and you can claim your two. It'll count multiples too. So I did 20 yesterday so it gave me 4 allies.
