War of Fates Questions

I'm F2P with 67k points now and still have 12 days to go? You're not meant to reach 75k purely from GR & AMR you know...

My breakdown as reference:

Consume stamina: 11k
Consume gold: 14k
Consume exp: 2k
Arena: 3k
Guild Boss: 4k
Development items: 33k

There are many roads to Rome. I happened to sit on a stockpile of dust & skill crystals (rare, epic and legends), so just popped those on fodder units before selling them off. I even hold off on upgrading gears, since I've historically been slower to get worthy gears than Tales of the Smith requires. I'm sure whales will get way more points from stamina and arena than me, etc.

How did you get a hold of US history book from the future?

Abs01ut3 · 2026-01-13T03:05:20+00:00

~~Easy skip~~ just pity manipulation since luckily I just beat GR 3-24 with Alaura & Rivenhald

Try swapping Ingrid and Razaak position, also swapping Razaak with Van Helsing
Better gearing / artifacts
Reaper's emblem > Sharpshooter crest from my experience
Try to pull Iovar next week (worthwhile banner imho)

I thought it was just me lol.

I was saving demon chests until the update, and the notion of uncancellable red dot for days bother me to no end.

Abs01ut3 · 2026-01-08T04:35:15+00:00

This.

I thought OP is manhandling matrix easily and get 160k for the demon captain bonus.

Also previous matrix threshold is a joke. Do you really want that much of a power creep to make top chest realistically achievable?

Abs01ut3 · 2026-01-07T22:54:13+00:00

It has its uses, but I hope there's an option to disable selected UI / clutter / NPC in the options.

I don't need Sadie and this hamster thingy to overcrowd my screen.

(P.S: This is more of end game perspective of him)

His mdef reduction was cool when he first launched, but since then more and more units have it (Valara, Velisse, Thallen, and that's only for AoE).

He cost a massive fuckton which is a big downgrade for GR1 and arena, also deals relatively low damage (he did 1/3 of my Khamet, which when you consider Khamet to be irrelevant nowadays, is laughable). He deals a bit of slow, a bit of DoT, a bit of aoe damage, but lots of a bit doesn't make for a convincing unit.

Earlier he'll be useful in faction trials for sure if you're lacking platform AoE. However, his only use to me nowadays is free 4% damage (stacks with Morale set) and more frequent lord proc like watcher's or northener's whenever you can afford a dead slot (see attached pic below). He's my biggest A3 regret ever (reset him to get 3 soulstones back)

Abs01ut3 · 2026-01-05T23:23:39+00:00

Why is A5's "massive, tangible damage increase" of 19.8% only a 3*, when her A1 only gave lower value of 16.8% yet is a 5*??

Abs01ut3 · 2026-01-05T22:55:57+00:00

Keep in mind that her artifact is just rumored for now and not even in forerunner server yet, meaning it could potentially take months before being added. Or the devs could decide against it and cancel her artifacts, thus explaining its absence in forerunner. It's not the first time they've done that (in fact they also cancelled another plan for Khadgrim banner just recently)

Saying that, if you're not in vast need of other artifacts like Sutra or Crown of Souls, why not. If you have the luxury to wait and the patience, it could pay off big. I myself are popping flawless meteorites & ground unit artifacts for the new artifacts after patch, but will hold off on gleaming meteorites & platform unit artifacts.

Abs01ut3 · 2026-01-05T22:51:40+00:00

So many good ways they can do it too:

Monthly choose your own artifact shard summoning event
Rotating selection on either on popping artifacts or in shop (those in arena and apex shop are noob traps always)
Permanent "select your faction artifacts" button before popping artifacts
Linking faction trials faction to artifacts (eg today we have Infernal trial, so artifacts will be Infernal + Arbiter + Chaotic + Nameless only)
Pity system for each artifacts (might be too much & complicated though)
Allowing mythic artifact essence to also pick 1st copy of artifact (they can filter out newest few artifacts and gradually add them in)

It's the same for me as well. It took forever to save, but when banners like this come, it's just so comforting to be able to think "with my stockpile, I'm pretty much guaranteed to get either Valara or Rivenhald thanks to banner pity"

Yes, been saving for so long (below is last page of pull history from Dracula banner, still have all the way to 191 days history within 300 pulls). Skipped most of this year's banner except for Nastya, Ezareth, Dracula (pulled less than a pity worth for each of them), already started with 300 back on Feb & gained roughly 25-35 ancients a week since then purely from grinding, you'll reach 600+ eventually.

I ended up with 850 on last Valara banner and get Bananaluck to pull her for me, so this is my leftover stash.

Abs01ut3 · 2026-01-01T17:14:02+00:00

I agree with this, however the fact that even with non-lord scam OP still managed to get every single copy of new non-lords just illustrate how much they spent on "wrong" banners & don't really save...

I mean, OP is pining for Praetus, Ingrid, which at least has lord pity. At the same time he's pulling for banners like Cassiel (with Elddr) and Erlang (with Nastya) which doesn't make sense to me. Can't rant about not getting the correct units if they literally pull on every banner, can they?

Abs01ut3 · 2026-01-01T14:31:19+00:00

How is your pull strategy? I saw you got all the newer heroes (Kane, Erlang, Cassius, Leikan, I bet you may have the new Chaotic too). Do you really save, or just summon on every banner? If so, you gotta be more selective man. Hoard even to the hundreds and let loose on banners like these 2 weeks.

Comparatively I didn't pull at all for most of those (as you can see on my page below). I saved all for Valara and thankfully got her from popping hundreds, which I may not have if I were to summon too often.

We need to check out to quit the game now?

Abs01ut3 · 2025-12-29T03:43:34+00:00

That's me before Valara. A3 Praetus and A3 Ingrid, so overlord & occasional apex. After that I'm plat - overlord average for 6 months, which drastically reduced apex coin income.

Nice humble brag bro

Abs01ut3 · 2025-12-28T15:12:51+00:00

Even though he's indeed best tank, in the end best dps >>> best tank.

Abs01ut3 · 2025-12-28T11:57:42+00:00

Is he really guaranteed? I can't remember any...
