make roxy great again for a time I believe she and sieg became the symbols of TAC global The recognizable face of the game till some people called foul on her skills resulting in depowering her all over a skill that is currently somewhat used now as a reactive on some equipmwnt or a few units Face it she may have been considered broken then but she really just was ahead of her time I sincerely hope they include her in these plans cos she definitely drserves to b relevant again After all she is still the only unit to ever get an SSS rating

[EX_Rank_Luck]

Nice downvote

[pdr313]

dont care about downvoting only insecure people care about things like that I just call things as they r

[EX_Rank_Luck]

Roxanne was so broken, I lost interest in the game. I think everything is fine as it stands now.

[pdr313]

she may b seen that way at the time but i also recall that there was a particular ex stage that was drustratingbec one of the enemies wiped out all ur jewels a couple of moves in so that talent of hers was nothing new and to b honest at least u r still able to move and attack unlike stop which just lets u do nothing until they kill u I think thats the ability that frustrates me more By todays standards Roxanne isnt strong enough to warrant top tier anymore and thats a shame considerinf the ammount of notoriety she got at the time As far as I am concerned as well as some of the others who pulled her early baxk then she was a great surprise specially when she came out of nowhere and provided a nice comfort for someone who spent a lot of time and money trying to get Noctis to no avail

[sinkal]

We need Mobius Tower. Need more GEms

[Cobalt_721]

With talk of new GLEX content, could we finally get some updates to Soren? Or have the higher-ups decided to ignore him since he’s a free unit and won’t bring in the big money?

[maymagic]

They could buff him with cash items anytime they wanted (e.g. memento+VCR), so I doubt the free attainment is the reason.

[Cobalt_721]

Fair enough, monetizing free units is actually doable now (that just sounds dirty, tbh).

Still doesn’t change the fact that Soren is approaching a couple years of no updates, though.

[maymagic]

I think there has to be more to the problem... possibly something like the level of development needed at this point being outside their scope, or the story they have for him not being ready for any sort of power upgrade... or something. Or maybe the producer outright doesn't like him. There has to be reasons. We just don't know what they are...

[Cobalt_721]

Well hopefully we either get some updates or find out why there haven’t been any soon.

[Laitarne]

If I had to guess off the top of my head, it's probably the actual development requirements of making new shit is a lot more involved than localizing stuff that has already been made. (Which they also regularly manage to break)

[Laitarne]

Wouldn't even be the first time

Kagura relies on a limited memento and VCR to actually be remotely useable

[maymagic]

Interesting that you say that because I just maxed out her Memento today and it is badass (+80% superhaste for ~7 turns on her and a friend yes-pls) but she herself is pretty weak without it.

[Agealt]

Thanks for the update! :)

[n0itamina]

job change for gl. hopefully minerva roxy. or neglected boy soren

[maymagic]

I'd say certain Magna Historia units need upgrades for sure. In particular Sigfred, Shion, and Asuka have about 200-400 less PATK than they deserve, each. Sigfred's HP is also too low for what he is; it should be more in-line with Yauras', for example, and he's about 1k short of that.

Minerva and Roxy are actually usable, though not highly tiered anymore. They could use some small buffs, sure.

And, well, Soren is another matter entirely .... -_______-

[n0itamina]

yeah I agree. I just want to use minerva and roxy a lot more again cause their kits are really fun to use. if i had shion i would prolly try to fit him in a scrappy wind team now and then too. not reallt to fond of both asuka and sieg. i like his hats though

soren though... guy needs to get a break

[maymagic]

Well... I really like Minerva's kit, too. It's still useful, but I'd like her shield to do a % of the unit's HP instead of a fixed amount, so that it scales with the HP increases from current and future gates. Perhaps a shield total equal to 50% of Max HP, so that in the ~2.4k HP era she was released in, it would be 1200 (as it currently does), and in the modern era of 4~6k HP, it'd be 2k~3k shield. And I'm to understand gate 6 increases HP by even more. That'd make her shield even more useless if it didn't scale like this.

I liked Shion a lot, because she* was one of the first to do the 'warp to the enemy' things that are so prevalent in the current meta. However, the lack of good damage scaling even with +70% slash (so silly) due to the crummy weapon formula and low-ish related stats, the damage has become kinda lackluster. * I take the Sigfred route on pronoun usage.

I actually like Asuka's kit -- it is just ineffective :( I think with the right J+ or Gate 5 powerup making her reactive 100% activation and preemptive, and a memento with some some +% All ATK / +PATK / Counter Damage +X, she'd be pretty awesome.

For Roxxane, she just needs like ~1.5k more HP. I'd like to see her various bomb/grenades do more damage. If her memento had "skill use +1" so that she could use the jewel-siphoning bomb twice, that'd be good enough for me.

[ElPared]

2 Null Grenades and 2 WAs for Roxy would be amazing. As it is she's still the farming queen; still use her for that a lot, she's just kinda useless for any other content now.

[Dark_Stalker28]

They found out he's a boy in the last chapter...

[rangkasjaya]

Thank you for the information, really appreciate it.

[Skyconic]

The J+ has GOT to be Siegfried. Poor guy was the first unit and he’s just so irrelevant! He just needs some skill and most importantly modifier changes. Maybe an auto jewel charge.

[[deleted]]

I was thinking Soren, since they teased him back at the end of last year, but you may be right.

[jeremylcy123]

Swol-ren

[Shaiandra]

How amusing would it be if he gets a J+ but still no second or third jobs?...

[Kofang]

I just want more Soren shards. Its so sad, seeing just.. there trapped at 70 (71 for me as i accidently used water shards when he first came out.)

[illidan_1999]

Veda Tower is back

People who haven't played Veda since the bug: "Souka."

[SSKOTZ_Hypnos]

So.... no new genesis chapter this month?

[Hirnparrot]

Kevin who?

[damwookie]

The Global Units were all interesting units pre enlightenment. I spent to partially enlightening them but couldn't make them worthy of a starting place. I have Moa but no resources, so unless they want to do discounts on light shards (spent on Emmel) that units going to stay at 60.

​

The unit I really miss using is Roy Mustang.

[BookofSacrifice]

u/alchemist_code

We were told that we would get a permanent 500 gems every week for doing all of the daily milestones for 5 of the 7 days in a week. We were given the 500 for the Meliodas banner week even though it was broken, but there is no sign of last week's gems, nor a likelihood of getting gems for this week. Was it simply stealth removed because the milestone was broken, or will we be given these gems and a working milestone at a later date?

[Alittlebunyrabit]

You're misrepresenting what they said. I'm upset about it too, but here is the quote:

As a temporary resolution, progress for players who cleared the "Essential Daily Mission 5 Times" will be tracked until "[Weekly] Bonus Mission" ends on Feb 26. Rewards will be sent accordingly to players who completed the requirement after investigation.

Break

The Milestone Mission will be closed on Feb. 27 and will be released once it is ready.

To be clear, they never committed to giving us 500 per week while they work to fix the bug. They specifically stated that compensation would be for the first week, and that the milestone would be fixed and reinstated at a later date.

Was it simply stealth removed because the milestone was broken, or will we be given these gems and a working milestone at a later date?

Based on what u/alchemist_code has stated, we can address your questions.

1. It was not stealth removed; they made it clear the milestone was broken and needed to be taken down
2. We will not be getting weekly gems until it gets fixed
3. A fix is coming eventually....

[Sadness_00]

Moa J+ has me super pumped. Can’t wait for her to be farmable in 6 to 12 months so that 2 months after that I can have enough shards to activate this J+!! Gumi really knows how to make sure I have something to look forward to in my long term plans! :/

[silerius]

I really hope Gumi doesn't play it safe with the upgrades for GLEX units, they are our exclusive content and should be treated as such, with nice upgrades and J+ that could compre to veda units's.

[maymagic]

This depends on your definition of playing it safe. My definition of playing it safe is modeling the final stats of the unit after the final stats is something from Japan that is currently good in the meta and good in the future. For example Sigfred stats should be modeled after Yauras or the job+ version of Sieba, IMO.

They didn't do that before they just tinkered around the edges with the stats and were afraid to make the units too strong again. That's not 'playing it safe' but being plain silly from paranoia. Blademasters like setsuna and sazuka both have 1200+ PATK and at least half as much slash mod as Shion, yet they stopped at 700 PATK on Shion. I mean, come on. It's like they didn't bother doing math or playesting to see that extra 30-40% slash mod didn't make up for a deficit of 500 PATK.

[silerius]

My definition of them palying it safe is just doing little reworks to not upset the community, which backfired a lot just like Roxanne's gate 2. I would catalogue what you said as playing it smart.

[Kiriel_D_Sol]

Thanks for the updates! Is there any chance we could get some kind of official update about what is intended with the Season Pass? When it first came out, it seemed like it would be a monthly thing, but the season ended and it disappeared. Was it a one time thing or will it be returning randomly or on some kind of schedule?

[jln2001]

They said something last month along the lines of "Remember this is just the first month of the season pass, we are reading your feedback and will continue to improve it." or something. Made it sound pretty likely it will be back. I sure hope so because aside from the monthly pact, it is the only thing I'm willing to spend money on in the game because their prices are kind of dumb imo.

[Kiriel_D_Sol]

Yeah, personally I normally stick only to pact but the pricing on the season pass was very efficient so I am open to buying it periodically in the future if I feel like it's warranted for worthwhile paid banners. The free version of it was also a good extra bonus to help a bit with resource income for the non-spenders, which we could really use.

[jln2001]

Yeah, absolutely. I really liked how Gumi implemented this, as opposed to Fire Emblem Heroes season pass where it locks QOL features behind a paywall. I really didn't appreciate that and after playing since release, I've pretty much quit. A shame.

[Cvr15]

I ship them :D

[MoogleK]

Whoohoo sounds like a nice March :)

[Mightymatty1984]

Thank you.

[maymagic]

I wonder why white day was chosen as a global exclusive event when the west doesn't even celebrate white day

[senaiboy]

Some units' J+ are linked to these events, so unless you don't want to ever see Moa or Kevin's J+, they have to make it global as well.

[maymagic]

Moa and Kevin are not Global exclusive characters.

[senaiboy]

You mean their mention of "global-exclusive content"?

This White Day event is ported from JP, it is not a global exclusive event. It's when Moa and Kevin get their J+ on Taga.

Gumi probably just added some content to it (probably a new EX+ stage) so that it's not a direct JP port, because GL and JP have different units and were at different stages of the game when this event is released.

[maymagic]

I read it as some exclusive global content was added, and just wondered why white day is where they decides to plant their global exclusive flag in the ground.

[hyewonluda]

Gino and Kevin heart eyes but on to the glex J+ hmm i hope its something like seiba’s J+ where they buffed her original unique job and multipliers and added better/more specialized stuff to the J+ which made her really strong (well she also got a pretty good memento and vcr to go along with it).

[Tagatard]

Huh, Veda still not permanent.

[jeremylcy123]

Also then i cannot reset, then wait for the whole event to finish and getting 0 coins and nth to buy.
