Why do you do this to me, Napalm?

If only there was a word for what I am feeling.

 

[Schadenfreude]

If only there was a word for what I am feeling.

Oh you.

 

[Lnds500]

So I have 3100. Pull? Yuffie avatar board? Keep?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Keep. None of this is worth it.

 

[Razmos]

We don't really know how rare the Attack Prize Plus skill will be in the future, I think if you have the chance to get one guaranteed right now then it seems like a good idea, the rest of the stuff on the jewel avatar board is pretty great too.

Undoubtedly there will be better stuff in the future, but hoarding like that falls into the same trap as Record Keeper, where people read what's coming from Japan and hoard Mythril for months and months for specific banners. Meanwhile the content is getting harder and you might be left behind if you don't keep doing pulls/buying avatar boards

It's a different situation too on top of that where FFRK was virtually a blueprint and slight deviations were a rare occurrence whereas here the two services do seem to be built on significantly diverging plans tailored specifically to game age, etc.

That being said I'm not sure 3000 for a single medal is worth more or less than taking chances with a 3000 pull or 5 dailies. You're guaranteed it, at least.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Is the Phil medal any good?

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Is the Phil medal any good?

Yes.

AFAIK it's basically a little worse version of DiZ considering it only boosts Power medals but at the same time you probably will mostly use damage up medals on one colour situations anyway.

 

[RalchAC]

Yes.

AFAIK it's basically a little worse version of DiZ considering it only boosts Power medals but at the same time you probably will mostly use damage up medals on one colour situations anyway.

You can use both him and DiZ, general and type specific bonus stack.

 

[Psxphile]

I was happy to get my first Phil since I went and 6*'ed DiZ who was my very first boost medal way back when only to realize the significant cost increase wasn't worth it. A 5* Phil will do the same job while also allowing me to fit one more 6* attack medal in Treasure Trove.

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

I now have DiZ (x2), Vivi, KH2 Aerith (as well as Phil, KH1 Aerith and White Rabbit for color buffs and the TT gang for 1 character buffs). I am curious how buff stacking works and how viable it would be to go all in on it vs just having strong units in their slots.

Ex: Would DiZ x2, Vivi, KH2 Aerith all stack together for a quad buffed super strike with my final medal + friend's medal (Nico's 95% BC Mickey FTW)? Or possibly even a 5x buff for the friend unit if I threw in one of the TT gang or a matching colored buff?

 

[wilflare]

I finally jumped on this.
guess it's gonna take some time before I actually catch up.

is there a "right way" to fuse/level up medals?
I know in Monster Strike, you fuse the higher level to a lower level to cut down the cost of leveling but still get the same bonus

For farmable medals, this would be the most efficient way to get them to max power:

For gacha-only medals, I generally just level them up as I go along and if I happen to get dupes in the future, I level those up to add a dot. I'd rather not keep them at low *s in hopes of dupe draws, just to save some munny / exp / evo medals. Also, we will eventually get access to Mickey and Broom medals, which will add one Special Attack dot to any medal. If the medal has a % bonus already then it will reroll it the same way adding a dupe would.

Nope.

You can use 1 of the units that say "Raises strength by X tier(s) for 1 turn" and one that says "Raises (type)-based strength by X tier(s) for 1 turn".

Stacking multiple units with the same description doesn't work.

You shouldn't worry much early on, but here it is.

Here it is. Units that are 3* or higher have some empty circles, you can see them in the character description. If you feed it the exactly same unit (same medal and rarity), one of those circle will be filled with a yellow dot. As rarity increases, the amount of dots increase too.

I don't know if I explained it well enough.

You would need 7 copies of a single medal to do as seen above. Once they are 3*, you feed three of them to other 3 units. Then you evolve the four remaining ones. then you feed the unit that doesn't have any dot with a 1-dotted unit...

 

[Boogiepop]

Is it better to have both the colorless and colored boosts, or to use one and then fill the rest with normal damage medals? I'm sure someone has worked it out...

Edit: Anyone up for taking me into a Unicornus group? I've been effectively playing by myself because a friend was supposed to be playing alongside me, but he never started. I'm a fairly active player I suppose. As in I will do anything that pops up when it shows up, though like right now there's not much to do except colliseum now that I've finished the story missions again, so it's a little slow at the moment. At the very least you definitely don't need to worry about me dropping off.

 

[Razmos]

Yesss at mission 362, actual plot developments, new characters, intrigue, sinister stuff, why did it take this long?

One-Day Deal huh... not sure its worth it given we know premiums are available in dailys during epic carnivals now.

Edit: I mean, its 200 jewels a medal like the normal daily so that's good. Just not much point without a chance at tier 4.

 

[wilflare]

under my Medal List, there are red upward arrows on my Moogle medals - what do those mean?

Meh, I'll pass. I want my Yuffie medals.

 

[Sölf]

I didn't even know about those dots and leveling up. I think that's nowhere mentioned ingame at all. Welp, I probably should get started on leveling those up then. So far I only saved a single unique medal each and put all my experience medals in those, as well as duplicates (which I didn't level of course).

 

[ash_ag]

I finally started the game the other day and I'm still getting used to the mechanics, but really enjoy everything about it so far. Controls are superb, and presentation is extremely charming. This has to be the most well-polished gacha game I've ever played.

Couple questions:
1. Did I miss the free Aqua medal forever?
2. Is a 1000-Jewel pull worth it? That's all I can do at the moment. Should I go for it, or is it better to save up for a 3000-Jewel one when a good limited Medal is offered?

 

[Kinsei]

We're going to be in the clock tower until quest 400, aren't we?

Well, considering I don't have Namine, Alice, kh2 kairi, no good reversed medals or any other buff debuff beyond vivi/diz/aerith, I thought why not? Still nothing .

The early-game tutorials you're presented with don't mention it if I recall correctly, but if you scope out the Help section they're explained under Strengthening Medals.

I should be looking at those maybe... xD

 

[RalchAC]

I think I'm getting Cloud's outfit since:

- People is hyping Attack Prize + the hell and back.
- Cloud scarf.
- Illustrated Yuffie seems like a really good medal, unless the Tier List in reddit is lying.

Now I'm not sure who should I give my Attack Prize +. Maybe my guilted Goofie?

 

[Tirod]

- Illustrated Yuffie seems like a really good medal, unless the Tier List in reddit is lying.

If you don't have a guilted single target speed medal besides Stitch, than I'd say Yuffie is worth it. You would need to buy both avatar boards to guilt though, you'll just have a 3 orb Yuffie with the Cloud board and she's really meh.

I'm in the ivory tower with a guilted Limit Form (49%) and KHII Riku (32%) so your situation may be different.

It really comes down to 2 things: How much do you want to look like KH Cloud and how rare do you think Attack Prize Plus will be going forward?

I ended up buying both boards because I'm irresponsible

That doesn't bother me all that much. It's more the fact that it's 40 missions in the same environment, instead of maybe 10-20 and then switching it up.

It's because they are matching what [chi] did and [chi] had less missions that went longer. Unchained is trapped in a pick up and play mentality: lots of short missions that are only a few minutes long.

 

[Skittles]

I think what makes the Yuffie boards even more tempting is the fact that each one has an attack boost II. Which is only really attainable once a month from the coliseum ranking
