Hello Bodens,

Due to the 08/30/15 Apple policy change we’re no longer able to feature a coupon code redemption system in-game.

While this may have caused some of you an inconvenience we’d like to assure you that even with the removal with the iOS Coupon Code redemption system we’ll still be issuing rewards during our Streams.

These codes will be delivered by using a different method (For an example, please see this thread.)

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thank you for your understanding,

– The Dragon Blaze Team

To resume : no more codes during stream, thanks to that.

Just like for allies :
- you can only loot gems from rank C to S
- higher rank are only through combine or lucky summon or arena shop.

I combined for Caberra today. I really like her sheep utility but I reaaaallyyyyyyy need a Draco.

Caberra's great to put in your back pocket in the Arena. She's great for Lab, too - timed right, she can be the difference between wiping and moving on.

Saving up for DBrightspark, I had a choice between deifying Turq or Caberra. I went with Turq.

I'm currently ranked 13 in arena and there is about 2000 points worth of difference between me and 10th place. Even if the person in 10th place doesn't score any more points, which is unlikely to happen, I don't think it's reachable for my team. Most teams at this level all have Shabelle as the ally backup unit and I just don't have an answer to her. I can take out half of the enemy team before shabelle shoes up and she just revives all and they all end up wiping my team. I am running with a priest so it's not like me not taking any action will help my team kill slower.


The only counter against Shabelle I can think of is more firepower. And boosting my dracos ain't happening anytime soon.

Sigh.

Oh well, top 50 it is. And I am never inputting this much energy into arena ever again. Way too exhausting.

I started to beat shabelles by putting my best AOE (BS) as a helper. So when BS comes in, she just wrecks everyone that is low health/just rezzed.

Yeah, Arena is fun until you start being surrounded by the beastly teams. Top 10 is out of my reach until we reach the point where it is hard to make progress among those 5 units.

If I ever get 5 ULT Allies, then perhaps I can do it. But for now, it takes too much time refreshing and all.

I still love Arena and I think it played a huge factor in all the SSS I've made. Its a quick way to generate Friend Points.
But I only play it the first days after reset.

I really need to upgrade my Shabelle. She's useless at +0. But I want to use the resources for new SSS.s

Trying to get some GB done, but no one's biting. Looking at the other Guild members, I can see why. It's pretty much just wapple and Jigsaw left. A bunch of inactives (some as long as 21 days), and the rest are not at a competitive level. Tbh, I don't recognize 90% of the names. Are they even on Gaf? Who's our new Guild leader? Seriously, the Gaf guild has all but fallen apart.

Come with us then, even garath went over to the other guild. It's called Nocturna and you can join whenever, plenty of room.

Daily GB on the other guild.

Ah I see, I thought you left the gaf guild. Some of us are in Nocturna if you wanna continue doing gb :)

I hate to do it, but I might have to leave the Gaf guild. Will check out Nocturna, though I wanna see if I can get myself into any of the top guilds first.

Nah, I was just kinda inactive the past 3 weeks because of vacation, though I might leave the guild now. I took a look at the rewards for the #1 guild, and the top 10 contributors get 300 rubies! That's roughly what I get from all my weekly rankings combined.

Lol, now look at their contributions. No way in hell you're getting top 10 in those guilds. The 300 rubies they get probably barely even covers the rubies they spend to get that high of a score
 

Yaari

Member
I'd agree. The 300 rubies only go to the top 10 contributors. You'll probably have to put in 400 points per week too (minimum requirement, the top10 will be pulling 1000's of points). I don't see myself making that. Plus I'd have to put every single one of my tickets into it.

lol, you're right. It's probably some absurd amount that I'd have to spend hours and tons of tickets on to match.

@Yarri, is Nocturna top 5%? I really just want to get the costume.

It's not 5%, but we only have 37 members. We're trying to fill the last 13 members with people who GB a lot, and if we do I have no doubt we'll be getting top 5%

Oh I was aware about the vacation. Well if its any consolation, top guilds have gb req and Nocturna has been getting top 50 lately with no gb req, up to you though ^^

Sakia, Yurisica, Gengai. I would've named one of my characters kimchi but someone got it and isnt even active with the name lol.

It's not 5%, but we only have 40 members. We're trying to fill the last 10 members with people who GB a lot, and if we do I have no doubt we'll be getting top 5%

So everyone's active and competitive in the Guild? If so, sounds like a winner to me. Do either of you guys know the Guild leader? Should I PM them beforehand or should I just apply?
 

Yaari

Member
Just apply you should be good.

I think we were top 9% last time. We're getting there. Only getting better.

Not sure if everyone GBs but I like them and they seem nice. I'm happy I joined.

Not everyone does GB, but I would say most people are very active. We got 9% last week with only 37 members. We've got a lot of people that get over 200 points per week, a few who get over 800 regularly.

Thanks for the tip.

I was actually planning on deifying Turq by feeder her Caberra. I can't wait any longer I'm falling too far behind.

FINALLY got an SSS healer. Now I don't know if I should work towards a Blackaria or save for Rio Angel like I was planning :( I got Konfi, aka the worst SSS healer, so she's no good to me in and of herself.

As someone who knew that pain for a long time, gratz !
Now it depends on your goals but both are great at almost everything. If you're more interested in improving your score on WB and arena go for Rio. For everything else, unless you seriously lack dps, go for Blackaria.
Also, depending on your essences and the amount of fooder you have, you could still make Blackaria first and Rio later on when you have farmed enough angel essences.

el rio is about 2.5 weeks away and thats before you start saving up 10+ angel essence, if you have enough to deify konfi tomorrow id say just go for it, you have plenty of time to make the angel archer in the future

The competition in GB has gotten way tougher. Only won a handful out of the 20 or so matches I did.

I'd go for Blackaria, if only for the fact that you need an SSS healer and Konfi is kinda bad in that department.

You'll get Shabelle right after making Blackaria.

Damn right it is, been getting murdered out there. Blackaria + Brightspark with a magnify priest is really, really hard to deal with. Although I did get killed in literally one second with an Ultimate Bloodwind crit...that was fun.

You guys are right. Blackaria will make the biggest difference since I have only Viri and Rio is just more DPS. I'm millions of gold and one SSS fodder short. The good news is that since I'm making Blackaria, I can scrap my Viri so I only need to max out the SS I have in my stable already.

I honestly have no idea how to beat the Blackaria/Brightspark magnify teams. My team dies instantly.

Are there any ascended characters in current Korean meta that match or surpass Draco Brightspark in terms of sheer OPness?

Most of them are just more powerfull than her.
The angel mage is bit special because he has longer cooldown than Brightspark but he is a good opener while sometime I just shout at my screen "BRIGHTSPARK USE YOUR SKILL!" lol

And I agree with others Blackaria would be a + for ya.

so lucky, nice dude. I'll go cry in a corner with my 30 blackaria essence now :(

anyone else prepped for enhance fail bonus? 750rubies ready for premium summon, 500fp, 34B's waiting to be eaten, couple draco enhances ready, 1 SS and couple S to enhance. Hoping for maybe 2 SSS combines tonight if lucky.

Congrats on the SSS healer. Still haven't seen one I could use after all this time. Have Shabelle but don't really want to give that up mainly due to arena backup.

Looking forward to it. Maybe that 30+% bonus on DBS will finally come in handy (failed the past couple of tries last week using S only).

Got an Ultimate Mercedes with 19 essences and a ton of S units ready to go. Will buy any essences necessary to get Blackaria to at least +6. I also have 1000 friend points, hoping to get at least 2 more SS, so i guess you' could say I'm ready :)

Yep, Mercedes is shit imo, i think she's only rated highly by people who don't have her

ya i have mercedes and shes quite meh, i didnt use her for diefy though, just sit in the corner now just in case future content needs a 2nd healer lol, my guess is that she becomes better in the future when allies can wear full gear, can stay alive much longer and dual heals are good for story stuff

I guess you can look forward to her awaken form or w/e they are calling it if you keep her.
