Jason Kidd murdered my dog in cold blood!
I hate the casino most of all when I have a King showing, 25k up, go for the double and pick lower, and a fucking Ace is pulled. COME THE FUCK ON. GO DIE IN A FIRE

Also personally I would recommend NOT to play 10k max bet bingo - it's a waste of time. Expected return on 10k table only slightly better than in poker and reaching 7m super-bingo pale in comparison to 77m bingo (and they have the same expected time).
What I did and what I recommend my friends (and they more or less successfully follow it) - reach ~5m in poker and go to 100k table. You will be reasonably protected to start off and once you reach 10m - it will became just steady flow, sometimes unlucky, sometimes very lucky.

$5m in poker would take HOURS.
More like several days. Full attention playing you can earn around 200-300k per hour in poker on 100 bet table.
This part is the same as any other part of the game - it's hard to start and there is a lot of grind, but once you have basis - it's easier and more smooth to continue.
 
Oh, yeah, I know. I lost a lot on 6, so gave up on it.

Is there any way to tilt Bingo in your favor? I just lose all my chips eventually every time.
The best way is to get the extra ball on the last ball. Extra balls are always an empty square, plus there won't be any proceeding balls that can overlap with it, giving you the most chances at getting something on the board.

You'll still lose a lot but you'll find yourself, over time, winning a lot more first and second place prizes, which should give you more time at the table to find a super bingo.
 
Need some advice on what Row 3 job to master next.
I have Weapon Master, Holy Saber and Dark Fencer done.
I'm leaning towards bishop or sidewinder?

Several days work and to lose it all in a few hours (very high probability) isn't something most ppl would do.

I have ~6200 valor now. Worth buying another wind SSR gun or hold onto the valor for the inevitable light team? I just need Jeanne and I'll have the characters for it. Would be nice to immediately start building that weapon pool. Or think more immediate and make my wind pool stronger?

I'm actually leaning toward buying a wind weapon I think. Replace another normal weapon with another SSR omega weapon.
 
For poker, if you have at least 10k chips, it's faster if you play towards the long game and double up until you lose or get to the big wins. I won't double up with 6-9 cards if I have over 10k in the pot, but I always try for the 50k max. You won't win money nearly as often, but it's virtually impossible to lose more than 50k before the next 50k win.

Can't speak for bingo, my luck hasn't been very good so far. Probably just need to keep grinding it until RNG blessings.

Thanks for the information mate. Only issue is I don't think you can walk away on a 6-9. Once you choose to continue on or not you are stuck until you pick H/L. Is there a way to walk away with your winnings once you see the card dealt to you is a 6-9?

The next card is always the previous card.

I.E. first double up is a 2 so you choose high, it flips 6. If you choose to keep going, the next card you need to high low is that exact 6.

So it's pretty straightforward to decide if you are gambling or not.

Also keep in mind card cannot repeat. It's dealing from the same deck. So if you've seen 4 aces, there will be no more that chain.

Not a very high probability.
I am gonna run montecarlo simulation somewhere this week to get probabilities of losing 1-2-3-... millions, but no-win streak of 30 games (straight loss of 3 millions) is 3 sigma event.
Bingo has net positive returns even without super-bingo taken into account. So all you need is reasonable buffer to resist volatility of returns on it.

This has just changed my game completely. Thanks

I would rather have one super strong team and delay making the second team a bit. Light is going to be a long grind as it is.

Seems like the Sakura Wars event is not translated? Hope it's not a start of things to come. Finally got a SSR weapon from Leviathan and it's the bow :( booo

Ugh. So I caved and bought the guaranteed draw offer.

AGAIN I got a character I already have. So, no new character.

Seriously, fuck this game. There are dozens of characters I don't have. I have, like, 6 characters, 2 of which I've pulled twice. So frustrating.

What a waste of money.

You can only blame yourself and the Power of the GachaGod.

Guys, help me out with this Dance of Flames quest. It's annoying not being able to win over and over with preset characters.
 
As someone else said, the key is to use Stan's defensive ability on the turn you reduce Druj to bellow half health. So that he tanks all of the hits.That's about it.

Yeah I'm not dropping another dollar in this game until we get another "pick almost any SSR" draw.

Just ain't wurf.

Tiamat needs to stop giving me summons dammit.

I don't even know what to do with all these. I've already reduced one too.

Yep, as much as I want to try and get a random SSR, I'd prefer to choose my own. I mean during legfest I got only a dupe so I'm not taking any chances.

I don't blame you, but those are just very rare. I've been playing since January and I think I saw it happen twice.

I spent some money on the last legfest and got 3 Beatrix's.

Did the guaranteed SSR draw and got this:

Two SSR weapons! (and characters). Really nice. I now have a gacha SSR weapon of each element (exactly one of each, how strange). The SSR characters were Vira (dark) and Agielba (fire), but I somehow also got an SSR summon which I have no idea where I got. It's [Skybound] Ranko Kanzaki (dark). I have no idea where I got this, but awesome!

This was a pretty nice pull for a beginner like me

You used the Brynhilde summon's skill 40 times. That's how you got Ranko. There's more copies to max LB her with, the final one unlocking at 666 uses of Brynhilde. But that's quite difficult to do.

Perhaps you don't even have your own Brynhilde and those were all friend-borrowed summons.

Grats on the rolls. Good stuff.

Oh, that's really cool and totally unexpected! Thanks for letting me know! They were all from friend uses :p Ranko just randomly showed up in my Summon inventory so I didn't know what I did to get her

Good drops!
 
Has anyone ever tried to save crystals till you have enough for 300 cerulean sparks in one go? Not sure if I wanna do this lol, it'd probably take me over a year.

It would be awesome but there's no way I could resist pulling with that many crystals earlier. That's what, 90000? Lol.

You guys and your pulls are making me want to do one. However, I think I'll wait for the next Surprise Ticket (however long it takes), for the SSR of my choosing and a ten-pull in addition to that.

Congrats to everyone though, some really nice character drops in here.

Google Wallet is the best bet.

For science I actually went through Japan Code Supply yesterday which resulted in a somewhat entertaining experience - had to basically prove I was who I said I was at the purchase address listed, which involved sending a utility bill screencap (heh).

Code eventually arrived and worked, though it's just at a premium because you pay slightly above retail price since it's a reseller, and for w/e reason the code redeems like 3% less mobacoins than advertised.
