Yeah. The crazy jobs (like bezerker) require 2500cp. Would be very difficult to get otherwise.

Tier 4 jobs are locked behind a grind worse than guild war characters. Wouldn't worry about not having enough CP for those.

I may be a bit jealous.

btw: I don't get any Rupie from coop. Is it because high level players always join my room and kill the monsters too fast?
The money is in the drops you get. The gold coins are worth 1000 and the gold drops are 5000.

Alberts charge attack looks fantastic and is the best. I love it, I cant believe I wasn't using him and was relying on Auto Select all the time. They need more stuff for making light parties useful in story mode.

Also this extra story mission with the missing children
and them playing Hide and Seek and fell asleep while playing for the reason why they were missing
made me laugh quite a bit.

I assume I have to fill the talent meter on the SSR weapon within the event period to get the skin unlock? Does it fill the same way as loyalty (ie. based on ap expenditure)?

And it seems I have to equip it as a main weapon to fill it because it isn't gaining any points when it sits in my pool...

Can Sagat drop the Gold Shadaloo Emblem? I've been grind him on very hard and I've gotten about 10 of the Super Combo things but I still only have 1 of the Emblems.

The SF event is kicking my ass. I can handle up to Hard decently enough, and I've got a good enough Wind Team to barely sketch out against Very Hard FANG, but VH Necalli just annihilates me. Can I expect to at least get Karin sticking to the easiest stuff?

It's much much rarer, but yeah, Hard Necali does drop golden souls. So does Fang, really. Unlike Ultra, here, both bosses drop both types of items, just one less often than other.

I've seen the same thing with ultra though (on very hard)? They do drop both, but it's not very common.

He does on extreme, but the ratio is about 1 GShadaloo to 3-2 Super Combo. I imagine lower difficulties have very low drop rate.

Edit: all these posts are making me doubt if I made up those extra drops lol

SF event is a slog. 30ap per extreme run. I've done both sagat and bison at least a dozen times and still not enough for chun li. Can't do maniac. That was a waste of AP.

Stinks that there's no raid component.

He can, just a very low ratio compared to facing Dictator.

My Daily Report: 2800+ AP spent.

I just wanted to say that it's really nice seeing some new faces here. I'm glad to see that the English release brought some people in, since GBF is a lot of fun and it's cool seeing the community grow. Here's hoping that it continues!

Needs to be more! GBF is the only mobage to play! :D

I'm interested by this game, and I plan to try it once it is released in the West. I wanted to know if the gacha in this game is fair, and if the game is overall fun. Well, obviously it must be, otherwise no one would play it, but after "Final Fantasy: Record Keeper" I'm looking for a game in which I won't fall asleep auto-battling 90% of the content (this is not an hyperbole, mind you - I did fall asleep in the train doing just that) and in which I won't engage in tedious shenanigans, such as forcibly close the app and start again a battle because of unforgiving RNG.

It's probably never coming to the west, this is the closest you'll get with the english option.

And this game is far beyond FFRK, there's no nasty RNG death in comparison. It's all a matter of skill and utility here. (Unless you're just massively underleveled. Don't go into Maniac/Omega as a newbie.)
 
I'm not really sure if spending the AP to grind out the SF event weapons is worth the trouble, I I'd rather just pick up Karin and call it quits.

I got one event weapon as a drop off sagat. I don't think I'll grind materials for it but if I happen to get one or two that'll be nice.

Is this the amount I can expect to spend on these events? I've been spending about 600 a day but I don't have a large amount of AP pots stored yet

Depends on your luck! I still need 3 more water gloves. . . And TBH thats kind of on course since I am trying to get all the gloves from the shop too. I still have one left in shop, then the other two have to drop.
 

Gizuko

Are the water gloves that good? I kind of switched to GBFV once the first one dropped and I bought chun-li.

I'm still trying to decide whether I max the earth fists or the water ones. I have so few earth weapons it's a bit silly. On the other hand my main team is water.

They just had to overlap GBF and 1/2AP/EP too :<

This may seem like a dumb question.

Can only your avatar equip weapons? It says I have something like 10 weapons equipped but I can't find any options to equip my other characters with weapons?

So where are all my weapons equipped?

Weapon pool affects the entire party. The main character weapon is the only actively equippable one. Rest are basically passive buffs. And no, you can't equip any other chars.

Weapon pool is common for all your party - they will get bonuses based on element/proficiency from it (i.e each character "uses" all 10 weapons).

So my pool of equipped weapons, affect my whole teams dmg and affinity.

Is the pool of weapons equipped at one time based on how many people are in my party and sub party?

And there is only 1 main equipped weapon for my avatar.

Thanks for the replies.

Weapons from collabs are considered unknown type. Dmg is multiplicative between magna, normal, and unknown so grabbing 1 or 2 unknown types is best for maximizing dmg

Question, does the cerulean trial drop different elemental uncap materials on certain days or something? Been running hard hoping for some scrolls to uncap ryu and rashid but i keep getting stuff for water and dark units, or is it just rng? :X

The equipped weapons are shared by the whole party, and each nets bonus stats if the character is proficient with it (I.e. Charlotta wields swords and thus gains bonus stats from each sword equipped). I think a weapon also gets a +20% stat increase just for being equipped in the main slot.

I better max the water one then. Thank you!

So having 50 weapon slots doesn't seem like a lot now. Since I have to match affinities and elements to each specific battle as the game gets more difficult.

This is awesome.

It has incredible depth to it, dare I say, I don't think any other mobage compares in depth:

Take a glimpse at this:

I can already tell that I'm going to be loving the depth of this. It's simple enough to not demand a full sit down all the time but still engrossing enough when I want to actually sit down and think about it. Also, despite the hiccups in the localization I do like the story much more than 99% of other mobile games thus far, it's a very close contender to Terra Battle for me.

I also love how generous the game feels in general I don't really feel pressured to reroll accounts and feel happy even though I don't have any SSR weapons or characters. Mostly just plodding along at my own pace and just taking it in, learning as I go.

If there's any room in the GAF crew mind if I join up?

The progression in this game is very rewarding. Best I've played in a gatcha game. There's no real weird spikes and you aren't going to be carried by a SSR character or anything. You have to build your team and your weapon pool and you will get stronger over time at a pretty steady pace. Its very cool.

Ugh just lost over 6mil at 100k bingo.... I think I may never play this game again. (At least never touch the casino again)

This is the norm though.
Any stories about big payouts are really just in the tiny minority.

I've been playing GBF for 9 months, never won Super Bingo, and I rarely get over a few millions, just to lose it again in a day.

Yeah. I've been playing the 10k 10man. A few days ago I climbed from 450k to 900k. Then I got to 1.1mil the next day only to drop to 650k. Bounced between 650 and 900 for a couple days then made it back to 1.2mil. It's really not a quick climb unless you get pretty lucky. I had a couple of 20-30 game stretches in there with no wins.

What should I be doing with all t hese normal weapons I have? I have a few hundred. Was going to just sell them because it takes so long to move them between my stash/inventory/etc.

Sweet, beat Bison on hard (pls tell me he drops gold shadaloo emblems).

Is there a way to reset the summons you can use without attempting an event? Those are key for me.

If you're in a guild, you can feed Guild Ship with them.

If not, just sell/upgrade weapons. I believe you can sell straight from mail.
 
limit break/uncapping characters is some real bullshit. Trying to get all the materials, and getting your progression severely stunted because you hit the level cap is some real shit.
