No legends, a Mihawk with a cooldown that probably wont work. as far as good str units I've got:
I'm not going to write a wall of text when I already wrote thousands of words about Mihawk, so just give a look to the guide we (Cloggr, Heng and I) wrote for Mihawk.
I recommend you to give a look to the Monster Chopper, Kid and Mihawk teams, since for what I've seen in your pics you have the right units to easily build any of those 3.
Thanks
Later in the post, I mentioned I was thinking of switching to anti-gloom. However, there are already Colosseum stages where healing or damage reduction is far better than anti-lock or anti-gloom, such as Secret Bon Clay, which involves killing a high HP trash mob, then whittling down Bon Clay until his special rotates his type to something you can burst against.
What I didn't mention, though, and perhaps I should have, is that it's questionable just how relevant raid Mihawk is to endgame anyway. Why worry about which spec to use when you're going to be using legend-filled Doffy burst teams that can spec into healing, anti-lock, and anti-gloom at the same time?
I also noticed the other day that, under a recommended strategy for a different Colosseum stage on Gamewith, there was a highlighted note that said you will probably lose if one of the boss's mob comes in at a low AT, regardless of ability orbs, levels, or special cooldowns. So we may not even have the units yet to farm endgame reliably. With multi-level specials coming in, and game-changing timeskip Strawhats potentially around the corner, our idea of what's good and bad may end up completely dated.
Still, you're probably right. At max-all endgame, healing could take too many ability sockets to be worthwhile. If we swap it out for anything, though, it's probably going to be something like anti-poison or damage reduction, alongside lock and gloom prevention. At that point, I picture having multiple raid Mihawks--one cooldown, one anti-lock, and one anti-gloom, so that you can always have an unimpeded path to a boss, and quickly combine percentage-cut specials and a damage burst to set up someone like Sugar.
Or, to put it simply, endgame is going to require whatever ability orbs the devs want it to require. With ranking, they've proven they know their game's system inside and out, and I'm sure they'll be sadistic to the game's veterans. I can picture a time where we will all be desperately respeccing Mihawks into anti-poison to farm Ultimate Krieg. Or how about Ultimate Bonney, who Fallen Angels you to 1HP every turn and switches every orb to meat, and the only way to survive is to spec a Boa/Bonney/Garp RCV team into meat boosting abilities?
Dark times are coming, I tell you.
Yeah, thinking about it, that's probably safer. I'd sub skill max Mihawk or Mr.3 in for Slasher Croc or Jozu, though. If you have the HP for it, you can take a hit from a single turtle, stall longer on the penguin, and have Mihawk ready to trim cut 30% off the top. With Mr.3, you can farm STR orbs for both Choppers and Arlong, then 1-turn stall on the seahorse stage to retain them.
If you have an orb booster at low CD (Kaku, Coby, Doffy, etc), you could also sub them in, which could potentially speed things up as well.

mihawk has a 17 turn CD, it's gonna take way more time stalling than what I'm gonna again using his special, since with this team I really just need gp usopp ready at 10 turns CD and I'm good to go.. theoretically
The inevitable Magellan raid boss is where poison will really come into play. They could do something where he re-applies poison every turn, meaning you can't just bring in the Dugongs and call it a day.
I need sockets, box space or whatever NOW! It's annoying to clean up your box after every two runs.
Oh and if you didn't know that Doffy is OP, I can tell you a nice little story:
I accidentally used a guest captain Apoo instead of a friend, and so I only had the 3x attack boost. Thanks to Doffy I still beat Brook!

We'll almost certainly get a box space increase tomorrow with the update. They're fully aware that we're all kind of at our breaking point with box space here and Mihawk coming out before the skill up is even more reason for people to buy box space. Toss that on top of all these turtles and it's just like, well damn. The question is, 100 or 200. They expect a lot of money coming in with this Anniversary between box space and the SW Ace/Mihawk Sugo.

Calling it now, Magellan will be a INT raid boss and the perfect team to beat him will be a Marco burst team with 100% poison resist sockets. SW Shanks teams will be able to beat him regardless because of how OP they are.

That honor belongs to Brook.
You think so? His special seems decent, swaps trouble to match and rerolls opposites. Seems like a decent manipulator piece since he doesn't change neutral/matching orbs.

How often are Block orbs really relevant though? They're such a rarity. When it comes to orb manipulating, there are much better choices like Slasher Croc and Heracles'n.

depends..it seems to work very well with 6 stars crocodile
Whats the point of the crew cost increase every other plvl up if you are around plvl 250+?
With 5 legenda the cost would be 275, so after that every increase would be pointless. Would be nice if you get something else. Or are the costs of new legends higher than in global now?

It hadn't occurred to me till now but I should probably socket Halloween Zoro before Asura. Halloween Zoro has 3 sockets and will probably see more use now anyway with the abundance of DEX slashers out there.

the game totally screwed me with halloween zoro..farmed tons of copies and only got a couple skillups..him and brook are the only halloween characters i have not maxxed..and he was the best of the batch
Had forgotten legendary croc was even a thing, almost never see him pop up in my friend list. Good point though. Looks like they're both niche with Nico having a stronger upside when she is applicable (which I submit would be less often than Brook for most).

I've reached critical mass at 500/500 since I keep getting Brook copies, which I've desperately manged to keep due to the fact that could actually use them as he has quite a few skill ups to go. I can no longer save a pig and see if I can evolve it with some lucky drops. The 2 or 3 slot wiggle room is gone and I find myself looking at my inventory thinking "Am I ever going to use Mozu or Kiwi? One day they might be used for a mission or something but..."
My darkest day has come and I fear there may be some victims.

Yet.
Wouldn't be surprised with a future feature with something like fusing characters for extra effects but with an increased cost.
The only one that can hold the 7* title is GDRoger.I'm thinking 7 Star characters are inevitable
If they do add 1, it have to start with him then G4 Luffy is one of them.
Second Turtle Time of the day was kind to me, got 6 Elders and some Daimyos on just one bar of stamina. Was able to get Raid Enel and Okama Sanji evolved. Normally I wouldn't use INT turtles on non-INT characters, but I wanted to get those two evolved and ready for whenever Blackbeard comes back (and I'll probably be using the upcoming QCK turtle time to level them).
Also on the plus side, evolving characters opened up more box space. I should be able to survive until the box expansion (if it happens).

I haven't opened any of the daily evolver mails due to box space issues. Will the mails still be there after the update?

This first event is a little... easy? It'll be done in no time (as of this post already at 2,251). The announcement of the anniversary event itself got 4,700+ shares on its own.
I'm guessing the second phase has to be something similar, except with milestones in regards to including INT Mihawk and/or SW Ace in the Sugo which probably begins the moment the second event ends given the timeframe. I do wonder however, if they'll be a limited time inclusion and not be a permanent addition to the Sugo pool. That'd be one way to really get a gem/money grab.

Nah, they will be as time limited as the other Legends.
We should start getting Shooter raid bosses soon, too... The current state of Shooters isn't that good.

well it's better that way.. we already got more than 3500 shares.. Maybe they'll add something like they did last time
we have to match the 20 gems Japan got last time
I'm thinking NBE forgot a "0", haha. 30,000 Shares makes more sense, but hey free stuff!

I wonder if we'll get a free stamina refill after the update drops.
I got the Drop Crocodile on MAX, which version should I evolve him into? The first or second one (Sir Crocodile VS Sir Crocodile King Of Sand)?

slasher croc is the usual choice..better stats,good socket guy for slasher teams,special that works well with doffy
poison croco is instead worse but it's really useful for the princess turtle runs,and i heard it works very well with aokiji when it will be released
the choice is yours
Aight, picked Slasher Croc; thanks!
I guess Princess Turtles are called Hime Turtles in the Global version. The other turtles have different names too, so I guess it's not a surprise.
Weird that the Global version gets the Japanese terms (Hime, Daimyo), though.
I like it when they add a little flair to the ability descriptions. Just about every Franky has them, too.
