One Piece Treasure Cruise |OT| Golden Hammer ---God--- Usopp

Besides Zorro, I should use a Perona and/or Smoker?

My team was:

Zorro/Zorro
Mihawk/Voyage Dream Sanji
Usopp/Izo

He always healed himself and I couldnt take off enough damage.

You shouldn't need Usopp with a double Zoro setup. You can tank enough hits to survive. Ivankov heals when below 20% HP, so you need to be using your specials just before that point and burst damage. With double Zoro, you can afford to use turns to get your orbs in order when it's close to 20% and to do the burst when the defense buff is off. If you can't get the last 20% down with specials and one turn of damage, then you need stronger characters.
 
Nine Ivankovs fed, one skill up. It's gonna be a long night. I've only fucked up once when I missed a perfect on my burst turn but otherwise my Law/Zoro team has been pretty reliable.

Damn, double Zoro + coffin boat = 60 bajillion HP o_o. Every hit from Ivan just tickles me. Then I realized not every sub is a slasher so I switched to boring Merry. boo

Maybe I'll just switch back so I can feel like a god again.

Got an Ivankov on my first 30 Stamina run. Tried a 40 stamina run, just for the gem but screwed up at the end. Oh well, I probably won't even try the 40 stamina, because my guys are still pretty underfarmed and was just lucky the first time to get him down.

Will try and farm the fortnight more for red baby turtles and pigs to level up my chopper for Doffy. Do I need a high level Jozu for Doffy or does his special just need to be as close to max as possible?

I think the only thing you need Jozu for is his special. He won't do much damage to Doffy since he is a QCK unit. Also he doesn't get any damage multipliers from using MC so you won't be relying on his damage at all.

whew, got Ivankov on my first 30 that I somehow beat despite fucking things up

now I dont have to sweat it, Dogpen continues to be the only event character I'm missing.

Did both the 30 and 40 stamina version. Quite easy. It's easy to stall for a long time here. I may gem a bit tonight after I finish at the uni.

Hopefully we'll get a harder boss soon. This one seems easier than Monster Chopper.

I did the 30/40 stamina too. I got my drop, so I'm going back to farming the Halloween Island. Here's hoping some more Law books drop...

Im not sure what to do.

My Croc is at 19 turns (one more for max) and my Franky and Nami are maxed. But Luffy and Chopper aren't...

On the other hand Islands will return and they don't need to be super low since they're situational at best.

did for the 40 for the title, figured what the heck I'll get through it with my shitty team even if I have to spend a couple gems

spent a couple gems, got to the critical moment, used everyone's powers... and dropped the combo right in the middle, Ivankov heals.

RIP stones
 
I adjusted my crew a little:

Zoro / Zoro
Law / Apoo
Coby / Usopp

Didn't have enough survivability without the second Zoro and even now I can only reliably clear the 30 stamina version. I guess it would be easier if Apoo's cooldown was shorter.
 
Think I'm gonna just run 5s to get more Halloween p1 drops, seemed like Chopper turned up a lot there.
Any luck with this? I think I'm going to spend the rest of the day farming the SHs, but I wasn't sure if it would be beneficial to have more runs at 5 or if the drop rate would be too low and 30 would be more efficient.

I tried different teams.
Double Zoro was too boring for me. You can tank a lot and don't even need to pay attention.
Law/Zoro was the team I used the most.
Law/Law is possible but it feels to risky right now.
G3 team works pretty well even without matching orbs.

I got 12 ivankovs and 3 skill ups but I'm done with him for now. Will wait for the return since sockets aren't out yet. Also I need another Franky skill up. He's the only one who isn't maxed from this fortnight v.v

Ughh I need more WB books but they are absolutely refusing to drop. Not a single drop these last couple days, even with gemming. I still need 4 more skill ups T~T sighhh

You actually managed to max Usopp but not Franky? That's pretty impressive.

Yeah, Ivankov's special seems pretty useless. I'm not sure if I'll bother to run him at all anymore. At 17 turns, it's useable at least, compared to other raid bosses with special level 1 at 20+ turns.

Oh right. Usopp exists, too. He is so rare that I forgot to mention him. xD and nope he is still skill level 1. I think I got a total amount of 6 in 2 weeks.

fuinally beaten 40 stamina..used way more stamina that i imagined..definitely not farming him now since i don't have a team that's it 100% sure of defeat him..although most of my runs were screwed by accidentally lowering his hp too much

gonna use the rest of today stamina on hina trying to get some skillup.

40 Stam keeps killing me... getting Ivankov to 30-40% before I have to burst as I can't survive another 3 hits off him and then bursting him down to 2-6% remaining on 3 attempts... thinking of switching out Coby to Onigumi or Smoker to survive.

Initially i was going to run a double zoro team, but this double law team im using has only failed me once when i forgot to stall on stage 4 properly when the stage 3 turtle had 1 turn initial and i took too many hits from him stalling.

Friend law, law usopp, mihawk, bellamy, doublefinger. of course everyone is max level(law is 98)

Dont even use mihawk special unless i only get 1 single orb from using both law specials. I burst when the buff goes away the first time, usually for 900k-1.4 mil

Try to get meat on stages 1 and 2, and save it for 3, stall on turtle a few turns. heal it back. if the unit countdowns or turtle was unfavorable-such as turtle on a 1 turn and 0 meat-kill everything on stage 4 except purple crossbow or blue big guy, locking usopp or all dex units. then if dex units locked quickly tap DOOM when usopp attacks to not kill the guy.

Disgustingly ive run this around 40 times and my ivankov is still special level 4. Meanwhile i see korials name seems to indicate he maxed him in 20. RNG is a harsh mistress.

The first two runs had drops, then I hit four runs with no drops except fodder. Switched it up to 10s, and had better luck with drops. Just not so much with skill ups, heh.

Franky is 3
Luffy is 6
Nami is 4
Chopper is 3, still.

But I did my runs of Iva 30 and Iva 40, fed the 40 drop to the 30 drop and got one skill up, so I'm done with Iva. The rest of today is farming Halloween drops.

Wow this skill up event has been pretty kind to me. Maxed out WB in 19 books (although I started at level 2 on this event), Crocodile in 17 books, Law in about 20 something books (25 or 27, I don't remember), and Zoro in about 18 books. I also got 3 levels off of 5 Hina and I'm now 1 level short of max, and I got 1 skill up from 1 Ivankov from my 30 stamina run. I hope this luck continues next week for SH part 2 without the skill up event.

Also is there a way to have the Japanese version of the game on your phone with the global version installed? I don't want to turn on my laptop just to play it.

Lvl 58 unevolved Ivan with lvl 9 skill.
Think that was 20 Copies. Really lucky.
Was thinking of evolving him and done.
Gonna do 5 more and hope to max it.

You could install qooapp. It should let you install any japanese mobile game.
 
Out of curiosity, why are people farming? Iva seems a terrible unit...

Hahaha, I have no idea honestly. Completion maybe? The only real combo, at least for now, is if you have a Capone as well. Even then though, I'm not really sure that it's worth the effort.

But, I'm not going to lie, I've considered trying to max him as well. It's just part of the addictive nature of the game I guess.

Edit: Also, Ivankov pulling his face off in the 30 Stamina version is super weird.

Yeah, getting a raid boss during a skill up event makes it tempting to farm them, even if they aren't useful.

He's still got solid stats, after all. But yeah, I'm just going to save my gems for something else.

There was an update, but the character spaces for Upper Yard aren't added to the log yet. I was guessing we'd get Halloween 2 and Upper Yard tonight, but maybe "late october" means the 31st?

Only skill that isn't maxed from the current fortnights for me is Law and his book's drop rate is terrible. I also don't need more red pigs and baby turtles taking up space. I'll take the beli, blue daimyo turtle and guaranteed Ivankov drop from farming him. I'm not using any gems though. Ivankov might have a fit in my Boa QCK team along with Capone, Kaku, and Hina.

Even though I don't play in Japan... I'm excited to see Monster Luffy's stats and special. I'm expecting Mihawk/Dofla levels of awesome.

So any chance the new Halloween event is also going to give out turtles and pigs like candy? Could really go for some blue or green.

The SPLV rate up going on at the same time is a good excuse. Comparably with dependent on how many gems it cost a player, it's better than an unfavorable RR pull.

That being said it took 40 copies for myself to SPLV max. I'll be taking my time on levelling him however, haven't evolved him yet.

I'm kind of hoping he's the 2xATK/2xHP captain for fighters. It's a bit less exciting, but it'd make him very usable and potentially help put fighters on the map.

Could be 2x ATK/HP for the secondary "Mighty" or "Tough" type. I'd like to see a double HP brawler Captain too, but Nightmare Luffy isn't pure brawler with the sword on his back. He's all, "100 souls worth of experience lets me spec into both Brawler and Swordmaster. Min/maxing for days."

Actually... come to think of it, he might be Slasher/Brawler, with a bonus to both, sort of how Afro Luffy boosts STR and Brawler. That would mix up strategy big time.

Damn, double Zoro + coffin boat = 60 bajillion HP o_o.

Double Doofy + Mihawk + Arlong/Vista/etc. + Coffin is HP boost porn.

Well shit, looks like I never read Afro Luffy's description closely enough. Now I want Nightmare Luffy to do that, and I also want Afro Luffy.

Got Iva in the dumbest way possible. Didn't read up on him and had to waste quite a few gems after I realized he heals at 20% lol oh well, don't plan to farm him until his second coming.

Back to halloween farming.

Gonna do one gem's worth of Halloween runs, and then that's it for part 1 for me. Didn't max people and I can't imagine they'll have skillbooks at any point, but the skill ups have dried up and I don't need books for characters I haven't got, so one last shot and then I wait for tonight.

Farmed a bunch of them. Failed twice through the day, mainly because I haven't completely nailed how (s)he must be done.

Got her special to level 3. I'm going to resist the urge to farm more because 8 hours of class have exhausted me and tomorrow I must get up early.

The raid boss itself was quite easy. The only complications were my high CDs (I couldn't farm Kalifa properly so she was at 22 turns) and the fact that you were done if you missed the last turn and (s)he healed back. I used meat orbs quite often and my (friend) Law was quite useful, since he gave me both a bit of extra damage and HP.

I'll probably try to max him next time. He won't see much use though, as I have both Killer and Ace in my box.

After a bunch of runs I'm still at 61 Rainbow Gems. I'll save them for a while hoping that Strong World 2 gives me good results.

The Whitebeard 3rd batch (which came along 6* Marco) was the one after Strong World, right?

Halloween Part 2 event is now live! I already got Robin/Sanji/Brook.

It's a shame that Robin's special ability was changed from a silence removal to a simple gloom reduction, we already have/had Halloween Chopper. :(

I'm really enjoying these halloween events for some reason

I think it's because you have so many chances for event characters to drop

Same here. The skillbooks are nice too.

Unfortunately I don't have nearly as many characters to correspond with the skillbooks for this one as opposed to the prior island, but it's still not bad.

I'm hoping that's an error. It's a weird thing to change (not to mention I don't think there's any other units that differ between the versions of the game), and it's not like blind removal is super-broken or something.

Anyway, it's a fun fortnight so far. Already got 2 Marco books from running all four difficulties. Just need to get another 38 or so. :p

I can use... *check* Ace and Usopp, nothing else. Maybe I'll take a day and try to get Bellamy.
