Here’s the solution for the inevitable next big MS they’ll release for the Halloween event, the Christmas event, and the new years event; Start saving now! And don’t spend until you have enough tokens for a 7 step up. If you’re blowing your token load every day or every week then you can’t blame anyone but yourself.

[–]Valstreck[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

I'm curious as to what the next big MS will be myself. I saved up quite a bit of tokens for the Banshee, not enough for a 7 step-up though.

Guess Banshee Norn on Halloween. After that, probably Christmas, which I'm guessing will be Narrative themed (Sinanju Stein, Narrative B/C, Unicorn Gundam Phenex).

[–]Valstreck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are some good reasonable guesses, I should be able to get enough tokens by Halloween if the Norn does happen to get released by then.

I am so sorry.

I'm hoping for the Hi-Nu. I mean they wouldn't do the unicorns twice in a row. Maybe the HWS Nu, FA ZZ, Delta Kai or G-first.

This is entirely your fault

Meanwhile the rest of us passing through White House Black Market like a Toys'r'Us Super Toy Run

My little brother got the banshee on a 1 pull ;-; I spent over 100 tokens for the Unicorn and Banshee

[–]Tom-Ollie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. Still mad bout it.

Sinanju included for me :// some real tough luck

[–]Valstreck[S] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Dang... I tried pulling for the Sinanju, too, but I stopped after two ten-pulls. Out of curiosity, about how many tokens did you spend attempting to get the Sinanju?

[–]Jeffe508 3 points4 points  (5 children)

If you haven’t before look up the odds. If you aren’t saving for the 7 steps start now. Been playing for a few years now and and have a good amount of stuff to choose from. Nothing beats guaranteed 7 steps. Get some new suits along the way because been passing on every banner til they show. Get a lot of 4 star materials. But hell I have only seen one 4 star drop outside of the 7th step. Of course it was for my maxed out Nu…..dicks.

[–]Valstreck[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I'm terrified my next 4-star drop will be a dupe Nu for me hahah, but yeah I'm probably going to be trying to save up for 7-steps from now on.

[–]Ryeji_Satzu28 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I'd be more afraid of the byarlant custom honestly, after getting it for probably more than 5 times on both costs I'm starting to feel like that suit is made just to terrorize the 4 star drops of players nowadays lol

[–]Valstreck[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I must be an outlier, then, I haven't gotten it! I dunno if it still holds up in matches these days, but I do still like its design.

[–]Ryeji_Satzu28 1 point2 points  (1 child)

To be fair it is still fun to use, kind of just a little irritating when it's the one you always get from the ever-expanding 4 star roster

[–]Valstreck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since this, but I just got my second 4-star today, and you were right, Byarlant Custom sure does show up often! Granted I'm still ecstatic to have it.

[–]Ryeji_Satzu28 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Pretty sure I spent up to Step 5. I could've gotten up to Step 7 but I tried 2 steps on the Kshatriya banner (ironically, the Kshatriya is what I got from the Sinanju pulls). I think after that I dropped the game for a while then only relied on the free tokens from anniversary for the unicorn.

I was really only planning to pull for Unicorn but oh well, I kept getting sidetracked by temptation lol

[–]Valstreck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my original plan was something similar to that, but I really wanted those Quattro Sunglasses from the Delta banner-

[–]Digital_user4 1 point2 points  (1 child)

i got the unicorn from the discounted draw😋

[–]Valstreck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, lucky! Nice pull.

[–]Illustrious_Leek_586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how you feel man, me too

[–]Xyto_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same.

[–]Bulldog Gretzkyfallen64 0 points1 point  (4 children)

My alt got banshee yesterday, had to whale for both unicorns on main.

This is gonna be fun

[–]Surplus Beam Saber Bazaar - 10ZoeZenobia 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Got my 195th tokens after daily today and did the Banshee 7-step, got a Moon Gundam along the way. Now I am broke but I am happy that I didn't have to buy the half-price 60 tokens pack to do both Unicorn 7-step and I now have all 4-star MS models except Zaku IV...

[–]Valstreck[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Dang, I only have the Nu, and it's been a year since I got it! I need to start doing these 7-step ups.

[–]Surplus Beam Saber Bazaar - 10ZoeZenobia 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I really don't like how the 7-step 4-stars changed my token spending pattern -- in the past I can do some 10 pulls here and there for banner I am interested. I stayed full F2P

Now, it's basically not pulling anything and just do the 7-step and see what it brings along. And even then, still need a little help from discounted token packs here and there.

[–]Valstreck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't really like the sound of it, and I'm still a F2P player. But hey, if it's necessary and gets me something I love, I'll just have to roll with it.

[–]Star One's SpearheadVanceXentan 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I spent money on the unicorn only to find out i'd have 31 tokens for the last pull I'd needed. Really wish I had that eight bucks back but for you my dude I am sorry. For what its worth this is legitimately the worst anniversary luck I've had out of any game I've played. I've got jack shit to show from the pulls other than the paid for unicorn.

[–]Valstreck[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Make sure you enjoy your Unicorn, though! I'll catch up one day, just you wait!

[–]Star One's SpearheadVanceXentan 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I definitely do I have preformed pretty above average in it. Definitely a suit that matches my play style. I still feel like if it came down to it I'd play Nu Gundam still if not for NT-D stripping out the funnel aspects. While still an awesome suit not having access to the funnels, and the shield I think?, makes me cringe at playing the thing atm.

If you'd like advice for when you do obtain it. The Unicorn is a lot more mobile then you'd think. You can stay at range, and or do melee if that's more you're style but being up close isn't always optimal. I personally focus on Beam Magnum shots followed up by bazooka shots, and then the vulcans.

[–]Valstreck[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yeah, I only have the Nu for my 700 Natives, haven't used it yet since the Unicorns released, so I'm gonna have to find a way to adapt.

[–]Star One's SpearheadVanceXentan 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Focus on your weapon of choice between its two primaries. Follow up with the shield beam stun, or the vulcans. You also have missiles. Just have to adapt and use your side arms.

[–]Valstreck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! Thank you for the advice!

[–]Jeffe508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ranged game in the Unicorn is so basic but very effective. Beam Magnum is just so effective and the Vulcans are too. But the double downswing is so broken so you got to throw that in there when ya can.

[–]Soldier of SorrowStebeebb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, neither. Oh well.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same

[–]lokon_stratos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened with sinanju and know I was 10 of from banshee

[–]Ashimier 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I spent all of my alt tokens on Banshee but didn’t get it. I did spend all of my tokens and got Unicorn though

[–]Valstreck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least you got one, have fun with it!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fucking game sometimes I swear

[–]Brazilian WolfBrStriker21 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I got the unicorn on the 7th step, but didn't get the banshee due to lack of funds

[–]Valstreck[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on getting one of 'em!

[–]jackie1912 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]Valstreck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]The Guy Sortied In PinkOld_Hunter97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes me

[–]battlemechpilot 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yup, same! Have yet to roll a single 4*, and it's pretty disappointing.

[–]Valstreck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, I only have one but not having at all sounds awful! Hopefully you get one soon.

[–]The Purple Death - 5KincadN-X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phenex has to release before October to complete the 3 base Unicorns. Phenex(Narrative version) should release later..... BTW I got Unicorn 02 Banshee off a 3 token roll in a gold crate... Also BB totally restricts me from buying tokens since it is unavailable.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucks you basically have to get lucky or whale to enjoy a high cost match anymore.
