Just got my first SSR from Luminara, the gun.

I was in a raid with one other person so I got 2nd mvp and 6 gold chests(compared to my usual 4). Was this just a coincidence? Everything I've read is that besides 1st mvp, it's random what you get

2nd MVP gives you an extra chest. Not a red chest but just a regular chest.

There's also a chance of a 5th chest normally. It may be coincidence but any time I've gotten the 5th chest (not for 2nd MVP) I get an SSR.

Here's Noi's post on stopping the email spam:

Made my Korwa sacrifice, 4 tickets, 8 single crystal pulls and my Surprise Ticket 10 pull. SSR Catherine, SSR summon Morrigna, SR Danua were my best results. Eh, just going to write it off as two bad LegFest pulls. Can't bring myself to start whaling horrible rates again like I did in PAD. At least I got SR Feather from my fist pulls.

......O_O!

I'm tempted to try for her, but I know I wouldn't get her. Not with my single ten-pull, I'm never that lucky. Better to save up in bulk and do multiple summons in a row, maybe then I'll get a usable character.

Speaking of characters, for the SF event do the character items drop from Very Hard, or is it just Extreme/Maniac? I already have Chun Li, but I'm finding grinding for Karin more difficult, since Necalli likes to single target characters of my party until they're dead, and healing/damage reduction can only go so far. FANG doesn't seem as bad (since he has an Over Limit gauge and I can extend the break with my Medusa summon), but Necalli is proving troublesome for me. I can win sometimes, but I'd rather not take the risk, not for 40 AP.

Funny thing is, if my F/GO luck is anything to go buy, I totally could get her in a single 10 pull right now. But I can spend like a dozen of ten pulls and not get a single Sen in return...

Just transfer your F/GO luck over to Granblue and get her in a single pull. Problem solved!

My Main team is Light, but I seriously consider changing to wind because pretty much everything I get has Wind as a Element...

Took me way longer than it was worth
 
I'm new to this game, what just happened? What does Korwa do?

basically she's a pure buffer that uses threads which recover at a rate of 2 per turn and 2 per taking damage

the killer is that her ougi is to extend her buffs by using all threads you have and improve them even further

the kicker is that she has no upper limits in hoarding threads or even how long you can extend her buffs

so she can basically make her buffs last forever
and they are new buffs so they stack onto existing ones like petra's
and for the hell of it, she can heal when you are zombied

for example, her buffs are the bottom ones, that last 100+ turns

I now have 3.1 mil chips. Should I buy the first anat which I need so bad for my wind team and go back to 10k bingo or keep rolling hard with 100k? I jumped from 1.5mil to 3.1 today by winning 5 2nd bingos and 1 3rd bingo. Haven't gotten a single 1st bingo though lol
 
That sounds amazing lol, does cygames ever do balancing nerfs to characters?

It's a bit of a tricky thing to balance chars in these games. Notice how everybody is talking about potential refunds. If you nerfed a character, a huge amount of people can now argue they paid all that money to roll for a character that is now not as good as when they paid for her.
 
people are saying refunds cause they did exactly that when they released a too op character, that booby chainsaw girl

the difference was that they nerfed and refunded 3 hours after release

here, it's almost 12 hours since release and they already 'fixed' her (made her buffs dispelable), so it might be intentional now

If she does get nerfed and a refund is given to everyone, then in the future I guess I will just keep all my pulls until they release an OP character with the chance of refund

I said it in the Discord chat, but they just need a policy.

This time they need to refund everyone and nerf her. Then they need to make an announcement saying that they'll only refund up to 3k (or whatever they deem) in future cases of this.

I mean, it's pretty obvious she's gonna get nerfed. There's just no way she can stay in the state she's in now. They're probably just mulling over their options for refunds right now. They definitely don't want to, but know they have to. A policy would take a lot of blame off them should this happen in the future.

"Look, if you really want a character you should wait a few days while we do some balancing. We're only going to refund 3k if we gut the character, and we'll have a pretty good idea of a character's strength after 48 hours, so be patient."

But that wouldnt be in their interest. Refunding isnt a big deal to them because it doesnt "cost" them anything. The money has already been spent, so when they refund you with in-game currency it doesnt affect the profit they've made and in fact creates the expectation or temptation to pull for OP characters because "We'll get a refund". They already have your actual money and by refunding in-game currency they've made you further invested in the game. Your policy would dissuade both "whaling" and casual temptation on OP characters which they definitely dont want. If they're hesitating on refunding I'd suggest it has more to do with them wanting more people to pull than them being hesitant about giving back fake money.

I'm newer to the game, just signing up along with the release of the English patch.

I see people recommending to save up to 3000 crystals for the gatcha/draws as it apparently guarantees at least 1 SR or 1 SSR. I've also seen people recommend to wait for the festivals at the end of the month since it doubles chances of getting an SSR from 3% to 6%.

I've gotten up to 3000 crystals now going through the Story chapters and the Free missions, along with doing the story quests for the Street Fighter event. You only seem to get crystals for the first time doing these quests though.

I'm still not exactly sure on how do you get more crystals then?
It seems like it would be hard to get 3000 every month.

This game is getting difficult without SSR weapons.

Edit: Still don't think i've figured out how this game works yet.

Bought my first Anat from the casino. Feels good. I notice a little more damage already.

Back to 700k. This time I'll probably get to that 3-4mil mark and keep going. I just really wanted that first Anat.

edit: does main summon anat and anat friend stack? I think I expected more damage.

Got a sr/ssr ticket from the 4th board and decided to use it because legend fest was going to affect so why not. My second SSR, Korwa! Welp time to blow through the main storyline before they nerf her. And I have spent nothing on this game so from my wallet. Google credit spent $1.00.
Oh and also is there a list for open gaf guilds? or do i just post when someone mentions that there is room now?

Are we able to get Korwa from the Beginner's Draw Set Special they're doing right now using the ticket for a character of our choice?

Yes, any character currently available at the time (even limited/exclusive ones) can be obtained via the Start Dash ticket. This is assuming you started during the time the character was active/available.

Hmm... looking for her but no luck. Started playing a few days ago.. T_T

If you started a few days ago, you won't be able to get her (since she just became available in the last 24 hours or so). The account needs to be actually created when the character is available, unfortunately. :(

Spending on 4 Anat and then buying every item daily/monthly limit for like 2 months will be nice. I'll still keep playing just for the wind weapon eventually. lol
I'm tracking my 100k bingo games


Achieving bingo first (and second) is extremely more likely than third or fourth

EDIT: I noticed that the profit value of super bingo is wrong (should be 77,677,777 instead of 77,777,777), but it doesn't change much
Yeah I looked at your data and decided to just grind it out. You get a 8% chance at Super Bingo pretty often. I think it was my 4th 8% chance that I got Super Bingo on.

Bingo. 3M should be enough of a buffer (it was for me). 5M is much much safer.
Want that new wind SSR so bad. Will probably drop some mad money on rolls next week when I get paid.
If she's not nerfed. And shes, TMK, not that great until very late game?
Got Feather from melee ticket. Quite nice.
3rd I know, nice!

New SR looks so meh to me. Saving my 9k crystal and two ten pulls for something better. Didn't have much time to play today because or RL stuff. Is there any wiki for drop rates?

My luck with gacha (or rather, the lack thereof) never betrays me. I got 0 characters from my ten pull. Z. E. R. O.

One can only hope.
They just donated two times more money to the earthquake relief efforts than Honda did (100 million yen) and set up their own cash burning anime studio among other things. I think they most definitely have the money.
