Bruh, last time you said that you got awesome Fuji or something and you still haven't put more time into it. Even if you get Akainu, you're gonna fall off again. This game isn't about just 1 or even 6 units, you need to put in effort to socket and skill them, can you do that?
That's a good point. It might be beyond saving for me.
Well, if they ever get rid of sockets or make it easier to swap them in/out (maybe have them as equippable items you can craft and then socket/re-socket your characters), that might do it. I love the gameplay, and don't mind skill-up's, I just cannot handle all of the different socket combinations, especially for characters that are used across many different teams. It's just a headache. :/

Gonna do dupes later as I'm kinda busy.
Glad I ended up maxing diamante as I actually saved 32 of his books just in case I'd pull him , which I actually did. Considering he won't get new books for a long long time I'm glad to get rid of that requirement.

i'll probably wait for the permanent skillup increase before using my almighty books on fujitora..they are too valuable
the only sockets worth planning for is for the dream teams of the legends..for the other you better just go with whatever you find first as long as they are good...
just remember that
lock and despair are crucial but it's useless to put it on any character,so just look if you have already many units with the same classes socketed with those,otherwise they are the ones to choose first IMHO
orb is not worth more than a lv 1 as long as you are not talking about shooters or driven characters,in that case,they go with fuji or sw ace,so they need orb sockets
cd reduction is the most useless of the useful sockets IMHO..yes it can make the difference between a completed run or a game over, but usually you build teams without considering them, so they are mostly just a luxury
autoheal should be your go-to socket as long as you are talking about units with 4 slots, and a serious candidate for anyhing with 3 slots. Only put them on units that will go on teams with lots of sockets (so teams that you have a lot of RR or colo unit for), otherwise is kinda useless...300 per turn would hardly make a difference..500 per turn is reasonable but more of a luxury than anything substantial,1000 per turn is heaven..so put it only if you can commit to that lv 5.
damage reduction has gained a bit of poularity as the contender for the 5th place against orb matching... i would use it only on units that will go on dream teams...or maybe if you have tons of RR units of a certain class. Personally i only have it on colo coby as of now.

Good skill up luck this time around. Maxed RR Kalifa with 25 books (seven left over) and maxed Colo Apoo with what I farmed over the week (his sockets were a bit less successful, sadly). Got Duval within 2 levels, if I'd farmed 30 on Friday instead of stopping at 20 due to laziness I probably would have been able to max him.
The highlight was getting my last Croc skill up with the one book I managed to get after the last skill up ended. So glad I got that one out of the way (also won't be tempted to use the Almighty Books). So I maxed Legend Marco with 19 books, maxed Croc with 23, and with 21 books so far my Sengoku's gotten a mighty 2 levels. Only so much luck to go around.
I'm not sure I want to do any more Hannyabal (only got him down to 17 since I got a somewhat low amount of drops, but that works with Caesar), so I'm not sure what to do today and tomorrow before the WB FN starts. I guess I could resume the hell that is socketing a maxed Raid Mihawk?

What sockets are you using for Apoo? Curious what is the best for him. Just Bind/Despair/Heal?
I gave him Bind/Cooldown/Orb, but that's just because it's what he was getting. I wanted Autoheal on there, but he got one AH on the first set and proceeded to get no more for the remaining 43 copies.
I'm not sure if there's anything in particular he favors, so the usual stuff would be fine for him. The one thing I can think of is that I think he gets used occasionally on Blackbeard teams to ramp up the damage you take, so I guess that would mean Despair isn't good for him. But I'm not sure if that team gets used much at all.
It's just because he's only got one socket, and since I had him skill-maxed (and level maxed too) before sockets were even a thing, there's just a very low chance of getting anything useful at all when I feed him copies. Socketing him as you skill level him is much easier.
Mixed bag of skillups.
Got Wiper , Z, and a second Ain to max skills easily.
Had some luck with duval (I think half).
Aokiji? After farming him with gems since I finally got a good reliable team? Went 0/15. That really hurt, I really need his skill lowered by a lot
Few other mixed bags. Hannyabal was also disappointing but I didn't have many copies.
Whatever, BRING ON INTHAWK BOOKS

Finally got the Mihawk!
Though I had to use a couple of gems
Good luck on Doffy tomorrow.
I think ill go with G3/G3/Hack/Mihawk/Jozu/Golden Pound.
I "only" need like 40 copies... lol this will be fun.
Maxed SW Luffy, which was the only important unit this go around.
Also maxed Hannyabal (but went 5/3 on CD/Heal, but eh), got my last skill-up on SW Sanji and a few more unimportant characters maxed.
I also have 3 GPU dupes lying around, but I'm uncertain if I should skillup my 5/5 bind/despair GPU first or start a heal/CDR GPU already, since Usopp'n is just around the corner.
I also really need SW Luffy friends with a nearly maxed special level for tomorrow. A quick glance at my friend list showed a total of zero, which would make farming with my go-to-team kinda hard.

Personally, I recommend settling for level 1 or 2 orbs. By default, you have a 16.67% chance of matching orbs on any individual character. you need 5 socket points for level 1 orbs (20% matching chance), 10 points for level 2 (22.2%), 20 points for level 3 (25%). That's expensive for some small RNG manipulation.
the jump from level 2 to level 3 is twice as expensive as the jump from level 0 to level 1, with the same increase in odds. It's also as expensive as the jump from level 0 to level 2.

that's what i wrote.
usually i would settle for lv 1 and call it a day,BUT shooters a driven go with sw ace and fujitora,and they deal a shitton more damage with matching orbs than without...that's why even a little increase it's IMHO worth it
especially with fujitora since you already have 3 possible matching orbs for every character..it makes those unlucky turns with no matching orbs very rare
That was quite brave of you, I would have waited until we got Japan's perma-skillup boost plus a skillup event.
There's a very good chance that I'll be so concerned about using my Almighty Tomes "correctly" that I'll never use them. More likely I'll wait til after the anniversary sugo to see if I pull a legend whose books are far off.
If I pull Kizaru, those suckers are going right to him, though. I don't think there's a better target out there.

Got 15 books waiting to pull him. Only slasher left I really want from RR though I'd love Kizaru.

Same. Not sure who I should give them too so I'll wait forever. I really should just give them to Ray since I use a Ray team for everything. But he sucks as a sub so who knows.
I'd hold off on committing since Ray's special isn't the greatest. He may be getting a super evolution that changes everything, so that could be sweet.
I'm hoping he has something akin to Sabo where he boosts both HP and RCV by 1.2x; it'd make him far easier to use for more diverse content.
Man i hate this game....
3/5 Meat from Snails. G3 team can run Doffy reliable finally. Farm 10 copies. Happy as fuck.
0/10 skillup.
Not even interested to go back anymore - same with Kalifa, farm books for 2 weeks and get 2 skill ups. Just a mess and waste of time.

Couldn't agree more. DQ7 is keeping me busy instead and I don't feel like my time is wasted.
Well my first Doffy runs went about as well as expected. Success of around 60% right now, but most fails are due to me still being sleepy and dumb.
My double SW Luffy team would work, if I had a few higher level/skilled friends running him. Easy time stalling, but I shouldn't mess up my perfects as frequently. Like, I had about 5 misses on Doffy once, no wonder I died. But yeah, it works.
Double MC with SW Luffy sub is pretty fast and kinda safe. Messed up a few times on fodder.
Double BB with Marco sub is slow, and I'm missing 1 or 2 CDs on Marco to make it totally foolproof, so I won't run that quite so much.
And first 5 Doffy brought me zero skillups. Hooray!
Will run a few gems on 40 stamina later to see the droprate.

Alright, maxed Kalifa & my two fukuros.
Not sure what to do now as I'm pretty much done with Hannyaball. (not gonna skill max him, I'll do that if I ever return to this fortnight in case I get SW luffy.)
On that note, is there any unit in this game with such a large quantity of useless versions as Fukuro?
Dude's got 3 versions and from what I can tell they range from useless to vastly inferior to units that are significantly easier to get.

Chopper, maybe? I know it's kind of cheating since he has 1000 versions. But he has some really good ones version to compensate.

Right, there's plenty of useless versions for most chars ... but usually there's at least one or two really solid ones.
Fukuro's just ...nothing is even close to good.
Tried to re-socket Legend Mihawk with autoheal, and got to 3 in maybe 10-12 runs. Thought I had another hour when I saw "1m left" on the thing, and then the last run gave me damage reduction or something. I'll get it next time he's around.
I need to socket a legend Doflamingo but I just do not feel like running that raid ever again. I think I'll take my chances with socket books instead, since they're fairly common nowadays.

Got one meat up yesterday, spent it all on Coby and got no skillups from his books. Bah.
HOWEVER, I did run the straw hat isle with double baccarat, got FOUR Usopps. So, that's almost as good.
Spending the day between Coby and the prison thing, but mostly I'm waiting until turnover tonight for INThawk and some good socketable units

Did like 20 Mihawk runs. I was going to socket him with either Bind or Autoheal. But I got 3 Despair sockets in a row so I decided to keep those. I couldn't bother to finish him though, so it has 4 Despair sockets right now.
I'll finish him next time, and maybe start a second Mihawk or something. I would love to have a Mihawk with Bind and another one with Autoheal, since they are the two most useful sockets out there. There aren't many enemies with Despair all things considered.
Or I could pull INThawk and forget about it.
I did 3 Doffy runs today and got 1 Bind socket. He is at 3/1 Bind/Despair. But I hate socketing units that are already skill maxed, especially when it's a raid boss and costs 60 stamina...
