About Discord, has anyone tried the app? I find myself using my Pc exclusively for pc games and writing papers, so I wanted to install it in my tablet. I fear it might drain as much battery as LINE though.
Iam using it in laptop works nicely, sometimes it stops loading pictures and I havent found what helps (other than booting pc). Dunno about battery life tho :/.

I'm using discord in chrome. Works fine. I dont see any point in app on PC.

It seems browser version doesn't work on Android devices (unless I missed the option), but I wasn't sure if installing it on my tablet would be a good idea.

I have just downloaded it, though, so I'll try it out and decide in a couple of days - I need my tablet to run in a single charge for about half a day (a bit more, actually), so I can't risk it discharging fast.

Thank you both!

Just got the dagger. So what's my next goal? I'm still a little slow on this. Maybe the SR crystal for 5k? Doubt I'll get the 30k for the katana.

Though someone mentioned you can save points for next event?

Gold/silver certs. AP/BP items. Fire staff for farming. Gold nuggets to work on Guild wars weapon.

Yes you can save points for the next event.

So, we have an eta for English tomorrow? Currently it's already 9am in Japan, so I was wondering if the notes said AM or PM release

Gold certs sounds good. Always need those.

I second yari's question. What's the fire staff do? I'm getting pretty close to the first one with gold medals.

oh cool, just reached enough points for the dagger so I was wondering what to aim for next

I guess certs sounds good, even though the sr crystal is tempting lol

or i'll just be indecisive and hoard points, not like i'll reach 30k by the end of this

What does the staff do?

increase item drops but must be the main weapon for skill to activate
also, in case others ask:
wind harp boosts exp
earth sword gives hp and def boost to earth units (kinda surprised there isn't a water weapon)

So, we have an eta for English tomorrow? Currently it's already 9am in Japan, so I was wondering if the notes said AM or PM release

well it's only the 10th in Japan
but to hazard a guess, the game usually updates either during the new day change at 1 PM PDT for log in bonuses and 90 gp gatcha pull refresh or at like 3 AM PDT when new events and gatcha events start

You're brave, summoning outside of a Legend Fest, haha. Congrats, I'm glad it worked out for you! I still need Vampy. Maybe with the next Surprise Ticket...

Yeah I know I shouldn't have but I really needed another SSR, and 600crystals was a small price to pay to land one.

Star halo was at 7am this morning and now it's at 2am tonight for my group:( I ran out of all my fodder leveling points dagger to 72, but it will at least make a nice stat stick for me at this early stage and I'll have it at 100 by guild wars.

My wind weapon pool seems better but because I have no wind summon yet vs Lucifer for my light team, my light team does so much more damage. Will be nice when I can finally do story tomorrow and get casino open to start on Anat. although I'll probably just spend all day reading menus tomorrow
 
from the recent radio broadcast, here's the events for the rest of the month:

April 11th: Vira and Danua 5 stars
April 15th to 24th: Street Fighter collab returns and New Street Fighter V collab (Karin and Rashid)
End of April: Athena 5 star and story quests arc 2

are we gonna straight up fight Akuma?

Probably, we fought Vega M.Bison ans Sagat last time, seens like Akuma would be the next logical step.

I was wrong.

I'm assuming Karen and Rashid are the SR characters that you can get btw.

If you're in NA, expect it sometime in the afternoon on Sunday (that'll be 5AM Japan Time when their day resets).

And if it doesn't happen then, probably 14 hours later because that's when the new Gacha gets released.
 
Street Fighter Collabs?

according to grandcypher

A new Street Fighter collaboration event will be starting on Apr. 15th. Rashid and Karin will become available as event characters, and Necalli and F.A.N.G will be appearing as enemies.

Ultra Granblue Fighter will also be returning, and you will be able to obtain Ryu and Chun-Li (if you haven’t already), and fight Sagat and Vega again.

Anyone kind enough to write some basic tips for beginners now that the english language option is coming soon? Like what mistakes to avoid and best items to buy

I'm dumb. So for iOS you have to do JP account to play and the English thing is just a patch for it? There's no actual US release?

Correct.

You don't need to necessarily play through the app on iOS though, you can play via Chrome on your PC (or through the Chrome browser on your smartphone). If you really want the app, you can create a Japanese Apple account and download it from their store, but I'm personally just using Chrome. It's a web-based game anyway, the app itself is just an optimized version of it (that has a tendency to run a bit slower than the browser itself).

Is there any way to get it on my ipad and still use my normal account ?
The account is cross-platform, all you need is the information and you can log into and play on whatever device you want (PC, iOS, Android, etc.). You're essentially signing into the online service, so platform doesn't really matter.

So, about these event weapons. I need to have the staff as the main weapon for the + item drop rate to work, but is it the same for the sword, harp and dagger?

Having to use a fire dagger with my water team sounds like a huge drawback.

It's a MLB weapon with 2000+ attack of its own at lvl 100 - so not so much of a drawback.
And it's doesn't really matter what element it is as the only skill it have is +points one.

It is if I equip it as the main weapon. I'd lose all the water buffs the rest of my weapons provide as well as the main summon's atk increase.

I take it works just fine as a sub weapon?

Can someone elaborate on the best way to use Yoda? I got him through the start dash and read up on how he works and I get the general gist of the fact his finisher (which I'm assuming is the skill you use when the yellow bar is 100%) does ridiculous damage if he has all 3 of his stacks remaining, but obviously you need to use the stacks in order to do anything. I'm assuming there is a go-to strategy to make the most out of him and time the bar filling up when you have 3 stacks.

Yes, only staff (septian burner) is required to be equipped in main slot. Rest weapons works in any slot.
Dagger though should be levelled to lvl100 first to unlock its skill.

Level him to 45 lvl to get his 3rd skill which instantly gives him 3 stacks. After that do ougi right after you get 100% gauge (use 3rd skill if necessary).
After that just hope that he lives long enough to get to next 100%/3 stacks - he deals half the damage and receives twice the damage when he have no stacks. Normally I can pull 2 full ougi and almost never 3 full ougi.

FYI:

Suzaku Katana mlb mats needed. Those 20 elements you get from absorbing sr /ssr weapons. I heard that one can get materials by extracting archangel Katanas, I need to test this when I get those.
