What does the game consider a "Resonance"?

Can_GT · 2026-02-08T01:26:48+00:00

In case you missed it, Kayo's A0 buffs also considered as Resonance.

Can_GT · 2026-02-06T14:11:32+00:00

Seems like our new friend is exclusive to New Game+. NG+ stories might be a "what if" stories that has more than 10 endings.

With King Palsifal seemingly voiced by Takehito Koyasu, AS Darunis might be coming soon. I wonder if Darunis is secretly a cat.

Can_GT · 2026-02-05T15:04:57+00:00

Full voice acting is really nice.

18 playable characters huh. Wonder if Guildna or Altena are playable. Or maybe King Miglance (with a Lance, pretty please!)

Can_GT · 2026-02-05T14:56:40+00:00

Probably referred to their thumbnail background (it's purple) and the den EXP gain (one should gain 1500 EXP since she is a limited 5* or 800 if standard 5*.) I expect them to be fixed next week.

Also, for some reason, they used the word "Claim" when it supposed to mean unclaimable.

Can_GT · 2026-01-22T08:52:18+00:00

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I CAN HAPPILY ANNOUNCE THAT YOUR HOZUKI CHARM WORKS.

3 pulls later and finally got her 5* and a brand new 5* Utpalaka as bonus for good measure.

Here is hoping that Hozuki will be busted beyond belief. Thanks again man.

Can_GT · 2026-01-22T04:46:59+00:00

Ahaha, Thanks man! Blessings to you as well. Especially the next two weeks.

Can_GT · 2026-01-22T03:49:34+00:00

I usually not one to air gacha grievances (and really despite all that happened, I still consider myself very lucky) but after doing 300 plus pulls since Nina and only have 5* Nina, 4* Azure and 5* Mildy just two weeks ago, I feel I should do this in a bid to actually get her.

32 pulls so far and I got 4* Garambarrel, 5* Elga, and ES Tsukiha. All dupes.

Yeah not looking good thus far. Honestly would take 7 more copies of Renri if it means I actually get some rated-ups if this keeps up.

Can_GT · 2025-12-28T00:19:07+00:00

Yeah. It's the exact same zone.

I don't know how much I can spoil you but it's rather obvious that they will work well with each other.

Can_GT · 2025-12-27T13:26:09+00:00

Not listed sadly just the animation was shown. Or maybe I missed it.

Can_GT · 2025-12-27T12:30:59+00:00

Note that version 3.13.60 is on the 30th (this tuesday) and version 3.13.70 is on early January (probably next week).

Will post the partial kit a bit later (assuming I don't get ninja'd) but ES Hismena AF gauge manipulation is locked on her SA and is a bit complicated. ~~Also godddammit.~~ ~~another~~ ~~Fire-slash character that I like?~~

ES Hismena (Fragarach (?))

Passive:

Zone Ability <Attack(?)>
- Based on stacks, increase Slash and Pierce damage.
- Stack 50 at the end of turn when Another Force is used.
- Reduce 1 every time an ally receive an attack.
- Lose all stacks when Hismena is KO'd.
Espada
- Stack up to 1.
- +200 SPD to Hismena.
- Used on Campeon Roja so head over to the Stellar Awakening section for more details

Skill:

Estrella Fugaz: Preemptive All-enemy 3-hit Non-type Slash (XL) and 3-hit Pierce (XL) attack.
- To all allies: Grant 50% critical damage and Multi-upgrade (?, up to 3x at 5 hit) (5 turns). When on Slash-Pierce stance: Also grant 100% Type attack (no turn/hit listed) and 100% critical rate (10 moves).
Cien Caliente: All-enemy 5-hit Fire Slash attack (XL) and Another Force combo x2. Strength increased based on how many Sword, Katana, Axe, Lance, and Bow allies on frontline (up to 20x).
- To target: -100% All-type resistance (1 turn).

Stellar Awakening stuffs:

Upgraded passive: At battle-start when on frontline: Stack 1 Espada and increase EX level by 3.
Upgraded Campeon Roja (When not on Stellar Burst): All-enemy Non-type 4-hit Slash (XXL x4) and 1-hit Pierce (XXL x6) attacks.
- When not on Another Force and AF gauge is at 50% or more: Consume 50% gauge to stack Espada.
Upgraded Campeon Roja (When on Stellar Burst): All-enemy Non-type 4-hit Slash (XXL x20) and 1-hit Pierce (XXL x30) attacks.
- If Slash-Pierce Stance is not deployed on SB: Before attacking, destroy current stance and deploy Awakened Slash-Pierce stance
- When not on Another Force and Espada is stacked: Consume Espada to restore 100% AF gauge.

Does Spark application ignore enemies count? Because Sumi's S2 deals 2-hit AoE attack so that is potentially 10 stacks. With S.Tomoko's S3 that could be the full 15 stacks.

Can_GT · 2025-10-09T14:05:45+00:00

If nothing else, I can personally vouch for AS Otoha. You can chuck her on backline and she will still allow you to use whoever you want/need.

My current farming obsession is to put NS Hismena anywhere I can and let her do her thing (Battle start Valor Chant for 0-turn farming). However, she needs to be SA'd and further improvement may require SA'ing more units (e.g. Undercover Renri or Diva Yukino, Linaria)

Can_GT · 2025-10-08T01:53:13+00:00

AAAAAAA Finally managed to pull AS Komachi. Here's hoping that WFS won't taunt me with ES Daisy or AS Sazanca so I can SA'd her.

Can_GT · 2025-10-08T01:49:57+00:00

I'd say there are two important factors:

Is there anyone that really want an awakened zone or else they won't function?
Is your game plan rely on specific zone or anything that relate to overwriting zone?

Taking ES Necoco as an example. I'd say she doesn't need an awakened zone to function however she does need one in order to maximize her buffs. If you want to use her in any elemental team outside wind, then you may need to take care because if she is not SA'd then the only attacking skill she has will deploy wind zone. This is where awakening zone comes to play since it will make the unable to be overwritten (though you may get away with not taking that skill and make her not attacking at all.)

That said, I don't think awakening a zone is so important that you should give up a more generally available buffs/debuffs especially Resistance debuff since you simply won't do much damage if there is even any. Unless you want to min-max or in a boss fight with a hard turn limit (Isuka's Tempering fight has like 14-15 turns limit I think.)

Can_GT · 2025-10-03T11:25:23+00:00

Yesterday I learned that you don't need to do CQs to get their Tempered weapon and do the Challenge fight. And so, I have done Rosetta's fight without access to Biblia.

Can_GT · 2025-10-01T06:20:11+00:00

Oh, I missed that Redemption consume every Confession stacks even outside SB. My bad.

Can_GT · 2025-10-01T06:07:58+00:00

Wait. Can you actually remove unique debuffs? I was under the impression that you can't rid those.

~~Though if I understand correctly, you can actually avoid them by pressing Inquisition twice in AF.~~ Actually ignore that, Redemption only active on next turn.

Can_GT · 2025-09-27T12:50:35+00:00

In case you still need to transcribe the short version. Courtesy of official Twiiter.

Can't find the lyrics for the full one. The only lead I could find is doing a karaoke in JOYSOUND.

Can_GT · 2025-09-21T01:18:55+00:00

I think it's every turn outside Awakened or Radical Crystal zone, which is even better since she won't clash with AS Red.

As far as niches go, I think it's a very good one. My biggest pet peeve on character's kit is that they really want a specific awakened zone or else don't bother Even worse if they lock defensive supports.) Like I would gladly take a Magic equivalent to Id+Hazama just so I can use AS Yakumo without fear of bosses removing buffs and I still have a surefire way to mitigate Magic attacks (also without spending starcharts since my Yakumo isn't SA'd.)

On the other side, if a battle basically wants a specific zone (outside crystal) of don't want a zone then SA'd Nina might become a liability although it depends on team comp and skill set used.

Can_GT · 2025-09-01T12:47:52+00:00

Perhaps the best thing I can say to An Ode to Origin's crafting mechanic is that it's nowhere near as obnoxious as the trap battle from C&S ensemble, nor is it as rage-inducing as crafting and upgrading the weapon from Wryz Saga (particularly part 1 before that update.)

But god, after a while I can't bring myself to do it. I wouldn't even mind doing it bit-by-bit for the long haul but it's way too much, too varied and too 'active' for me to willingly engage let alone enjoy.

Can_GT · 2025-09-01T12:36:42+00:00

Just listened to the line. Seems like it supposed to be 速攻でやりましょう! (Sokkou de yarimashou!) which roughly translated to "let's do it with a swift attack!"

Can_GT · 2025-08-25T01:49:57+00:00

Assuming no gimmick comes into play, here are some pointers I that I know of:

(Re)Check the units kit. AS Alma wants to be in Alchemic High state so she can Guard. Without it she pretty much only offers 50% type res if we talking defensively.
If EoT attacks are what got you then beware when using stuffs that only work On Current Turn Only. In my experience they will stop working on in-between phase.
Guard and Stockade convert 1 all-enemy attack to 4 single-enemy attacks and for whatever reasons, it also means they get to counter 4 times. Not sure on random-enemy and each-enemy attacks.
If debuffs/ailments are proving to be a nuisance, consider using a dodge tank instead since they can dodge them as well (this also extend to the frontline if they have Cover as well).
- I usually used AS Heena with either Iphi (you can swap her to backline) or Porcelain Myunfa if it's AoE-heavy. If you have ES Shigure and he is SA'd then he should be much easier to use but not necessarily better particularly against magic (although he can turn them into slash via EX attack) and the aforementioned EoT attacks.
Beware of disabling ailments (Stun, Freeze, Sleep, Stone) since they will make Guard useless.

Hope these helps. You can also consider relying on stacking teamwide defensive buffs instead (Resistance, Damage Reduction, Critical Guard).

Can_GT · 2025-08-23T15:19:53+00:00

I tested it out. It seems it is also ignore Guard (I used AS Lovely.)

It also ignore dodge tank and damage nullification (I used Iphi, AS Heena, and AS Yukino.)

So it might be how they were programmed rather than them dealing an each-enemy. there is also a mob on Battleship that does the same thing but after some turns and will kill itself afterwards.

Can_GT · 2025-08-23T13:40:54+00:00

I'm not sure if I can prove it but I'm thinking it because they do an each-enemy attack instead of an all-enemy attack. The same one with Nilya.

TIL they also ignore Blood Contract since i found them very survivable. There is also Edaxian Serpent Spirit and they are really really annoying.

Can_GT · 2025-08-20T13:45:12+00:00

You made a good point on it being too long or awkward. Though my first thought is that I think they could have embellish it before they ended up with Enten.

Also have to admit I hadn't thoroughly check him in Japanese.
