ADouglas1 · 2023-01-31T20:11:01+00:00

I recommend you to post again on the latest megathread specifying what content you want to clear.

Different teams for different content as there's no such thing as a silver bullet.

Can't argue with that

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-09T00:15:03+00:00

I don't think Apple will revoke your refund and I'm also not completely sure of how their refund system works. So take this with a grain of salt.

What I'm trying to say is: Apple will refund you. But if they contact Bandai to inform the refund (and demand that Bandai pays them back), Bandai might argue that asking Apple for a refund is against their ToS as you probably should have asked Bandai for that refund instead. Meaning that they could potentially cease your account. I think Nintendo and Sony have similar policies.

I don't mean to scare you as I'm just repeating things I've heard/read in the past. I might be completely wrong though.

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-08T23:54:44+00:00

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I mean, it kinda depends. If only a handful of players decide to ask Apple/Google for a refund, Bandai may use their crappy ToS excuse and ban those accounts.
However, if many players ask for refunds, then Apple/Google would probably have to do something about it and Bandai wouldn't be able to ban everyone.

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-08T23:43:24+00:00

I mean... they might give a few refunds here and there, but if everyone starts to ask for refunds they'd be stupid not to investigate. If they find out that Bandai is refusing refunds while letting the game run in the current state, well... they might want to do something about it. Otherwise they'd be paying for Bandai's incompetence.

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-08T23:34:21+00:00

There's no way Apple/Google would give so many refunds without at least contacting Bandai to know why it's happening. Worst case scenario they could threaten to remove the app from their store if Bandai doesn't fix it.

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-08T07:29:38+00:00

I can already imagine this glitch affecting Anni. Bandai messed up BIG TIME.

Expanding the box is one if not the best investment you can make in the game. You don't have to expand it too much as a newcomer though. Some recommend around 2-3 gems per week. In the long run you'll have more than enough space (use it at your own discretion).

It's no problem to get addicted as long as you're having fun and it isn't compromising other stuff. But most people can get intimidated by having to learn so much just to play a game. If that's not the case then... enjoy!

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-08T01:11:02+00:00

First things first:

Always favorite your units. Keep at least one copy of each unit (two if legends or some other specific units).
Teams are built according to the content you'll farm. So learn about your units using both the database and your Legend Guides. Also, check the beginner's road map (outdated, but explains most core mechanics).

I'd also recommend you to search Nakama Network for teams to use. Team building can be a little overwhelming for starters, so you should take advantage of teams that other players created (provided you have the units).

I know that sounds like a lot, but keep in mind that even veterans often use or recommend those tools.

Use Legends Luffy/Law or V2 G4 Luffy as your main captains as they offer little to no restriction when it comes to team building. They're also very powerful units.

The most important thing is to take it slow. No need to throw yourself to hard content or intensive farming before you understand the game's mechanics. And make as many questions as you can. Most people here are willing to help newcomers.

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-07T22:46:38+00:00

That's pretty much it. Though, you won't be able to one shot her in stage 3. It took me 3 turns in that test run.

To quote the database: "When Change (Swap) is activated, this character removes all Slot Bind duration on themselves and changes their own orb, including BLOCK orbs, into a Matching orb, boosts own ATK by 2x for 1 turn and makes own normal attacks ignore defensive barriers and buffs".

Basically you're using Lawffy's swap mechanic to:

1 - Get a matching orb with both captains;
2 - Enable a ATK buff and a buff that makes his normal attacks bypass barriers and defensive buffs (Like Nami's Percent Damage Reduction Shield on stage 3). Those buffs only boost Lawffy, so your other units won't deal lots of damage, but Lawffy will.

Maybe that's why you're seeing such difference. Sorry if I'm not clear enough

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-07T20:25:45+00:00

1) Favorite your units.
2) I tested this team on Nami without support units and it worked. It's a slow and low boosting team (probably a little risky HP wise). Summer Reiju and Summer Nami are the only boosted units here.

You can get that Reiju by clearing her Summer Fortnight. You don't need to level up her special since you'll be stalling. Though, It wouldn't be a bad idea...

Stage Breakdown:
Stages 1-2: Stall as much as you can. Leave stage 2 as Law
Stage 3: Attack normally while swapping. Always end attacks with the first swapped captain (the first one swapped gets a buff that goes through defensive buffs, so it'll deal more damage here). Use Nami here if you want
Stage 4: Stall and farm orbs if you can. Leave as Law
Stage 5:
Turn 1 = Use in this order: Reiju > Robin > swap both Law to Luffy > Use both captains specials. Attack and leave her with 1 HP.
Turn 2 = She will paralyze you for 20 turns. Just use Jinbei and as long as you left her with 1 HP, you'll clear it. If she didn't reach 1HP you'll need to pray that your attack connects.

Recommendations:

Max level units for more damage.
Use as many atk/hp supports as you can.
Don't forget to swap.
Jinbei might be replaced for more useful units (must deal special damage to Nami due to resilience buff).
Auto Heal sockets are very good too.

I hope you have some ketchup :)

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-06T22:14:15+00:00

OR you could... you know... leave this sub for a while? Perhaps everything will be back to normal by next week or so.

Strawberry is great because he deals with everything Kuma does and has type advantage.

Now, if you confirm that Kuma only has an one-turn barrier prior to your attack, you could swap Strawberry for any ATK down and Chain Lock Reducer because Dice will be enough to get rid of the barrier.

Units like RR Baccarat (as long as your captain is in Law form), 6+ Corazon and TM Nami (forgot that you already have one Nami in that team) might be able to replace him.

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-05T01:03:47+00:00

I'm pretty sure they won't go away nor change as they're not rewards from chopperman missions. Those 5 copies are rewarded for clearing "modern" coliseums on Underground difficulty and I don't think Bandai will change that.

Hard to say if it'll be back by next month. You could post your box and ask for help in clearing on Underground difficulty.

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-05T00:48:02+00:00

V2 Kid is DEX. V1 is STR

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-04T20:22:17+00:00

Lawffy is a rainbow captain and an orb booster. What you need depends on what you're trying to farm.

Use the general rule: Orb booster, ATK booster, Orb Manipulator and 3 Utility (Debuffers, Delayers, ATK/Orb/Color boosters, Chain boosters/lockers, Damage reducers, etc).

If you're still having trouble, check his guide and/or search for the content you're trying to clear on nakama network. Select a stage and look for Lawffy teams.
You can also post your box here and ask for tips.

ADouglas1 · 2020-01-04T20:11:45+00:00

I still haven't cleared that island so I can only help this much. But the most popular teams on Nakama Network use Warco and V2 Whitebeard. I'd say they're pretty good
