Jason Kidd murdered my dog in cold blood!
You know, I'm starting to see why it's so tough to get into the top 5%. I know there's gonna be more people joining, but the top 5% roughly consists of 200 people. Think about it. You have to be among the top 200 people playing this game out of the thousands to get into the top 5%. And those 5% are probably dedicated people consistently improving their team. So I guess it isn't so bad if I don't ever make it into the top 5%.



They're trying to see how many times you'll fall for the challenge bait.

I always accept the challenge :p I just did it again, but easily beat the team of 54s. TAKE THAT.

It is absolute garbage that a level 53 mage team with only a single MAX SS tank and the rest SS with no enhancements can beat my team of fully MAX SS, +3 SSS as a 55 rogue.

That's the tier lists for you. She had Snow and Shabelle

Top 5% should be about 400ish people I want to say. Top 1% last week was 50-150ish I think?

Maybe i'm mis-reading it but

Your opponent - 53 mage - MAx SS tank, rest SS - no enchance. Did you mean SSS?
Snow can be black snow SS but Shabelle would be a SSS.

Your team - 55 rogue - Max SS and you have 3 SSS?

Yeah, it was black snow. Is there a SS version of shabelle? She had the stupid looking hat (best description ever). Her team was all SS.

Yes, my team is all MAX SS with a single +3 SSS mage. My helper is a +1 SSS Gar. Not exceptional but has the nice stun.

So I've been playing for a week now pretty religiously and have hit level 42. Is there a GAF guild on the US side? I'd like to find a guild that is at least, somewhat active.

Pretty addicted to the game though...Quote fun for a mobile title..

Okay I was getting confused because you first stated her party was all SS than later on listed Shabelle. So it's a SS team with a Shabelle (SSS) healer- no one enhanced.

Are you auto battling in arena by chance? If their Shabelle has no +'s than I imagine as a 55 rogue you can Focus target her and she should be taken out easily especially with no 55 gear. That would stop her from reviving the whole team (If that's what's stopping you)

Snow belle and black snow are very OP, once ability upgrades come out... well lets just say it wont be pretty unless you have one.

That could have been it. I wasn't paying attention. But just strictly on stats that shouldn't be happening. RNG I guess. Probably didn't start with full vigor too.

Yeah. It's ugly. Only thing I can do is keep combining.

Was actually looking at tier list and realized I've been sitting on a Dark Marble Tiehr SS. She's ranked tier 1. Probably MAX her and use her instead of my Hunter Misty rogue or something.

She is? Huh, guess I shouldn't fuse her for SSS, then. She IS pretty solid for single target damage.
 
I have been trying to gather details on the ascended units that will be introduced in season 3 and this is what I have found. Please note that I have not actually played the Korean version so none of this is actually verified and can very well be wrong.


  • There are 5 ascended units, 1 for each class type.
  • You will need to upgrade a SSS unit to ultimate in addition to another item that you can farm or buy for rubies.
  • The ascended unit you receive will be the same class as the unit that is being ascended.
The following are the ascended units:
Warrior (Deathcrown) - http://www.hungryapp.co.kr/bbs/pop/pop_projectsr.php?idx=1192&type=pop
Archer - http://www.hungryapp.co.kr/bbs/pop/pop_projectsr.php?idx=1193&type=pop
Priest - http://www.hungryapp.co.kr/bbs/pop/pop_projectsr.php?idx=1194&type=pop
Mage (Brightspark)- http://www.hungryapp.co.kr/bbs/pop/pop_projectsr.php?idx=1195&type=pop
Rogue - http://www.hungryapp.co.kr/bbs/pop/pop_projectsr.php?idx=1196&type=pop

So my take away is even if you have the worst luck in the world, keep trucking along and you can force your own luck later with the best units in the game.

This stuff kinda puts a damper on me wanting to continue. The grind is on a Korean level in this game. Not sure if I want that kind of commitment in a mobile game.

Are all your characters +'d out? I might try that approach, I have Porin and SS Vivi so that's 2 priest down already.

Edit: 3500 points in Arena. Out of tickets now sadly. I wasted my 20 bonus by doing a stupid fight.

If your a rogue, found you in arena!

Huh, interesting, this looks promising. Do we have any idea of the timing of seasons? When's season 2? I don't have any of the top top top tier units (Patta is my best, and he's pretty awesome), but I can reasonably complete most content so I was thinking of just sitting on my combines and rubies until season 2.

This stuff kinda puts a damper on me wanting to continue. The grind is on a Korean level in this game. Not sure if I want that kind of commitment in a mobile game.

By the time we get to S3, we should all have enough SSS to reach some guys to ultimate.

FML.

530 rubies on premium summons then proceeded to combine for an SS, got SS Archer Veri.

This make me think if I should save up my rubies if one day we will got this update.

swGIhXm.jpg


In KR, at least, they have a system where, after you pull X amount of A cards you'll get a guaranteed S. Also if you pull X amount of S cards, you'll get a guaranteed SS. And same for SS and SSS.

*Confirmed with pictures X = 3

This means after 27 pulls you're guaranteed an SSS.

Not sure if it's just because KR gets more love (their 30 day bonus is an SSS I believe, ours is an S). But I would hope it gets implemented in NA.

Are the Ascended units already per-determined? Like warrior - Deathcrown only and mage - Brightspark only? Or are these just the placeholder images?

Hmm they look cool and it makes sense for brightspark and deathcrown to be their since ascension is to obtain the Quinque Draco, or so i've read somewhere anyways. I'm curious though if enhances change their color or something? I saw a screenshot on the gamevil forum that has ascended brightspark but she was red instead of blue.

That won't be enough for 1%. Probably settle around 4%.

From my understanding the ascended unit is per-determined. So for example if you use a Dark Gnoll, you should always get the ascended Deathcrown.

Is that based on a running counter or does it be done all at once? I would rage hard if the condition was all at once.

its basically a " if i dont get it by the 26th time, I will 100% get an SSS on number 27"
basically counter resets i think if you pull an SSS beforehand. so basically, pull if you got enough for 27 if you want guaranteed 3SS and 1 SSS and the rest being A and S

Ohh it can be any unit? I was talking about if it had to be deathcrown ultimate to turn into ascended. Was thinking that if that was the case I could just Ultimate my Deathcrown now to prepare.

So your current impression is that Dark Gnoll (Ultimate) + Material (This is what determines which ascended it turns into) = Ascended DeathCrown?

Yes, this is my understanding of it. Please keep in mind it can potentially be wrong.

Edit: From my understanding, the "Material" does not determine the unit but the unit itself does.

There is a new tab on the cash shop and from I read on Reddit it's for paying costumes for your Allies (not sure, I don't read Korean).


So, I assume that the player in your screenshot paid 350 rubies an alternate skin for ascended Brightspark.
 
Are you connecting to the right server?

So turns out this was the problem. If you create the account in America, travel to asia, and restore your phone, i guess it gets confused and crashes every time at startup. And if you reinstall and connect through hive, it puts you on asia by default, so you have to change back to America manually

ah that makes sense, didnt expect costumes for units to be a thing. If the Ascension depends on having the regular SSS version of that unit it would just be too cruel, makes more sense to have whatever class that unit you ascend to give the corresponding unit to make up for bad rolls from combining but eh dunno till we get it or someone playing the korean version can verify it.

Finally got a dagger with some crit damage, I dont feel like such a leech in raids anymore doing my crappy 5-7k crits.

Nice just combined for Belle Snow...Now it time to figure out which skill card I should use on her.

Been wondering the same thing, but you will soon see how broken she is, Whatever helps her with survivability seems to be key, the longer she is out, the better.

Oh is it just the base unit class? So anything classified as "Warrior" + material turns into Ascended Deathcrown? Any "mage" type will turn into Ascended Brightspark?

Grats. I really hope to get her someday.

These Korea updates really showcase how fun this game is going to get. Our version, while having plenty of content, feels pretty bland when I look at these things. I hope they keep the content coming at a decent pace so that we won't get tired of the game. That's an issue other games tend to have.
 
Been playing a little while now (very nice work game, with all of the auto-attack :). I'm at the point now where I have a bunch of decent (some apparently great) units, but I almost have choice paralysis - no idea which ones would make the best teams for Arena, Labyrinth, World Boss and regular dungeons. I'm a L55 Archer (Aim/Perfect Shot build), and I'm working up a Rogue (Dance of Death/Perfect Attack + Vanish build) as well.

Here are my SSS and SS units (plus Priest RanRan +2 as a good S healer):

SSS: Turq, Freya
SS: Dark Breath, Dark Lance, Punisher Roq, Healer Unity, Black Snow, Tirahl, Otehr, Misty, Tarq (x2!), Idun, Ger and Urk.

Any opinions on what would make the best team in each of the game modes? They're all pretty much L55, and slowly getting decently geared. I gather that Tarq and Idun are trash (and possibly Freya?).

Thanks!

basically counter resets i think if you pull an SSS beforehand. so basically, pull if you got enough for 27 if you want guaranteed 3SS and 1 SSS and the rest being A and S

So it is a running counter where I can go do something else and then come back and resume the RNG roulette. Good to know. Thanks!

Make some more SSS units... Keep black snow, thats your best SS unit at the moment (due to hero summoning being broken (in balance terms) trust me, you've got way too many SS units and should make them into SSS, even if you get rick Gnolled, it'd do more damage than a good chunk of those middle tiered SS units. (just refer to a tier list on whom you shouldnt get rid of.) KEEP BLACK SNOW at all costs.

The update actually makes buying gems a tad more appealing (should still make more gems for cash though)

Oh I read that as if you have the gems for 27 straight pulls than do so since you get a SSS out of it. That was the impression I got from reading on it (I could be wrong)

Its 27 times, however you might as well save it up to do it 27 times just to get it out of the way XD, would be glorious if it knew current pulls so we could go in with better pulls in season 2.
