But they were saying that same characters share the same zenith pool, so if Story SRs get zenith pages that should include the SSRs.

What I understood from that portion to mean was that leveling those SRs will let you use the LB points for those SSR versions whenever they implement it for them.

Well we'll know in 2 days either way.

 

[Fruity Insanity]

So is it possible for me to get past the required raid in "What Makes the Sky Blue?" if I'm new to the game?

'Cause the thing teamwiped me. :|

Nope, just host it so anyone can join, hit him once and wait it out for others to beat him. Can easily be done as a novice.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Yay for dark draw time! Hoping to get some dark SSR's to go with my Narumaya

I get SSR Vira!

 

[Hemlock Study]

I was hoping to get some more dark characters but nothing, nada, not even an R. Well, I've been decently lucky in the past so I guess there#s gotta be some sort of karmic backlash.

That being said I seem to have the ability to MLB dark carbuncle so I guess that's good?

 

[MSMrRound]

That being said I seem to have the ability to MLB dark carbuncle so I guess that's good?

If by that you mean you have 4 different sets of dark carbuncles and you are planning to merge them into one MLB version of it..

..don't make the same mistake that I did, which was combining my SR wind carbuncle into one. Use the stone obtained from casino to limit break them instead. It's better to have multiple copies of carbuncles on hand if the situation calls for it.

 

[Falk]

If you're uncapping carbuncles with other carbuncles, don't, unless you've got more than 3 of them. Multiple same color carbuncles save bums in some hard content.

 

[Hemlock Study]

I seemed to remember something like this so thanks for the confirmation. I have 4 times one dark carbuncle so I guess I won't fuse them then. Seems they appear more often in the gacha recently, or...?
So basically when doing a light raid you fill your grid with them and use them to eat as much ougis as possible?

 

[MSMrRound]

So basically when doing a light raid you fill your grid with them and use them to eat as much ougis as possible?

They raise att/def by about 30% for SR buncle (could be wrong) So if you are rolling a Dark team for a light boss you can also consider using a dark buncle right before your team's ougi chain, or use a light buncle to defect some damage (useful esp if you are in a raid and chaining with someone's phalanx skill or athena shield)

Ah yeah of course, boosting dark resistance against a light ougi makes no sense whatsoever. On the other hand, here I am talking about "raid tactics" when I had to use an elixir during quest 51 against bloody POMMEL of all people. I just didn't have good timing between his defense up buff and his defense down debuff. Maybe this game just isn't for me after all *sobbing*. His buff was just a dialogue box as well, not a buff icon you could clear or anything. Mean. But considering most story content before that quest could more or less be done by button mashing randomly, I think it was the real first story check of "do you know what you're doing?" (I didn't)

(useful esp if you are in a raid and chaining with someone's phalanx skill or athena shield)

I know it's lame but I wish there was a video on in-raid communication. I hear it's done mainly with stickers rather than chat, and you basically need to learn what people mean when they use such or such sticker.
I guess it's easier when you're working with your own guild and talking to each other on discord or similar.

This sticker mean you done goofed

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Only ways you can goof in a raid is.
1. Paralyzing in certain High Level raids above 50%
2. Entering and Attacking in luminiera omega raid above 50% if its debuffed. You will cause it to buff itself. Hopefully you have dispel.

 

[Hemlock Study]

Yes, I was pelted with disappointed Katalina before. Since then the trauma from that day prevents me from entering any raids. I don't even do Hard raids I can solo for fear of disappointing myself (no)

But let's say I was in a Baha raid, or Agni, or, er... that angel like dude with a pope's coif. Are there also things I shouldn't do to look out for there?
Does this mean that in Celeste, Tiamat, Colossus, Ygg, Levi Omegas I can push away at buttons without fear of being judged by the other players in the raid?

There are some guides (sections in bigger guides, actually) about sticker comm in HL raids.

For phalanx, people usually go about it this way:
1.- Use the "Chat" bubble and send the "Casting a shield" message.
2.- Actually use phalanx.
3.- Send the "Phalanx" sticker.

During non-HL raids people usually send the phalanx sticker and let you guess wether they used phalanx already or not (which can be an issue sometimes).

Then there's the "need potions" (healing) sticker/message and the Panacea sticker for when you heal, etc. Perople usually don't let you know they healed unless you asked for it though.

Just need one more Dark Flame Scion for MLB.

Man, being locked out of T4 classes by weapon stones straight up sucks.

I'm 390/500.

Tried for another SSR dark pull and I get another Lyst Sin and a gold moon.

Would rather a new char =/

Not to bring up bad memories, but you can reduce the gacha SR weapons from your attempted spark. You probably got a couple from every weapon class to reduce :x

Oh, I did. I got exactly 0 swords.

And the cerulean stones can let you buy weapon stones in the shop but SURPRISE SURPRISE, I just wasted them all on dragon scales.

 

[Se7enSword]

Never use cerulean spark for stones.

As for sword stones, do poker and buy the 2.5m sword. It's gacha tier.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Pendents are great for stones, though too bad its only 30 a month.

 

[ohlawd]

Oh, I did. I got exactly 0 swords.

damn

just damn

all I can say, oooh man.

 

[Vic_Viper]

Is this playable on US iPhones? Just got a new phone finally and have been looking for soemthing to play.

I know the Op says JP only, but I wasnt sure if it had been added since. Some sites say its available WW now. Where is the English version avialable to play if not the App store?

 

[demidar]

Same for me but with staves.

100 rolls, no SR or SSR staves.

you use something like the QooApp to download the game from the Japanese store, then you change the language in-game to English.

Or another way is that you can just play the game directly from your computer at home.

@Call me

You are just in luck! Surprise ticket+legend gacha. Can always hope to get/select a sword character to get 200 stones

Definitely picking up the Percy skin when it hits, too.

Any weight to the rumors that this surprise ticket is going to be different from regular ones?

I just realised that Lowain is voiced by Minoru Shiraishi. What the hell.

edit: 3k crystals in Time Limit crate post maintenance ! Salt fuel, get !

Surprise ticket coming up? mmmh... time to get at least one viable dark character I guess... *picks Vaseraga over just about anyone in a fit of madness*

 

[Call me YHWH]

Holy christ.

All this new stuff: the primach weapons, rose queen weapons, character zeniths.

I wish there were comprehensive patch notes.

Schoolgirl Cagli reprint? Yus!

It seems like all First and 2nd Birthday Outfits are getting a re-release. I believe someone here said as much would happen. Asides that, Narmaya's new outfit is cute.

[Hemlock Study]

Alright I'm going to be good and listen instead of just ticketing my mediocre husbando (even with 5* apparently). Who is a good starting Dark SSR to ticket ? I'll take them all. Vira, Narmaya, Vanpy, Veight, Marquiares, Cerberus, Forte, Beatrix, Dark Jeanne, Zeta... I'm drawing the line at dark Sarunan because I remember hearing he's the absolute worst (or is it his light version?) Hopefully I'm looking for "easy to use right off the bat" but I suppose an investment on a great character with a learning curve is OK too. Sort of looking at Narmaya because I keep seeing her doing amazing things on youtube, but maybe not a great investment for a noob.

DJeanne.

Vira, Narmaya, and Vampy are all good choices. But DJeanne is just so good.

 

[MSMrRound]

If you are low on SSRs go for the star legend gacha first, you might even get a top-tier SSR by chance. Only when you are comfortable then should you use your sup tix, so that you can avoid accidentally drawing a dupe character for a gold moon

E.g my SSRs were only at 6, I ticketed Yuel for my first sup tix and then drew her as a dupe on Fire Rate up when I was hoping for Perceival ._.

 

[Hemlock Study]

Thanks for the advice ! Yeah D. Jeanne seems pretty up there, she's labeled as "attacker" but apparently fills in great with support. My only dark SSR is Lady Grey which is apparently "ok but not all that" à la Vaseraga, so I'm really hurting for more dark SSRs. Which is mean to all the potential good dark SRs I have but heh, everyone knows that ultimately SSR is where it's at (so shallow ! )

If you are low on SSRs go for the star legend gacha first, you might even get a top-tier SSR by chance.

B-but I already bought the birthday special draw... And star legend could be any of the other elements, for which I already have at least decent SSR pools. And hey, any gold moon is another step to Siero's special pick! /s
Well, I can always use the 10-pull ticket first, see what comes up, and then use the surprise ticket. Character weapon boost is up and I don't believe in my luck with legfes anymore, so now's as good a time as any.

edit:
10-pull was a bust, predictably. Got a bunch of fodder and bronze moons for my troubles. They want to make sure I never run out of pots, clearly.
Now wondering whether I wanna shell out extra for Star Legend. I own ... 31 SSR characters, none of which are limited. The current SSR pool contains... 72 characters, none of which are limited either. Chance of gold moon is a bit less than 50%...

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I bought vane outfit. Seig or lan chan next...i kind of like the tattered lan chan outfit lol.

Has anyone got the final form of the seraphic weapons. Im on 2nd level sword of michael.

 

[Uthred]

I wish there were comprehensive patch notes.

I'd even settle for non-comprehensive patch notes

 

[Wyndstryker]

So apparently having narumaya and vira for my ssr dark team means I'm already halfway to having a meta dark team

My rank 52 self can use all the power it can get

Also got hades and celeste omega for summons

Jesus, that's amazing. Hades is extremely rare and is the summon used for the best endgame dark grids. So I'd say you're pretty much set

Some of these skills are looking really nice! Sucks that the 4th finds itself locked until 10 turns though. Does anyone think that the 5* Materials will be the same as with any other SSR or much harder to obtain?

 

[Velinos]

w00t!, got my last Dark Flame Scion. Now to see if I can finish off that Dominion Harp before the event ends.

There was talk, I believe, during the anniversary stream, of the uncap requiring Damascus ingots. So it's safe to say it's going to be involved.
