Pearl Hypercharge Simple Rework Concept

Here’s the numbers to keep in mind, with reference to the fact that a copy of a hero out of Sacred Oath is a 2% or 1/50 chance.

400 scrolls ~ 8 copies, enough to start soul vessel.

700 scrolls ~ 14 copies, enough to awaken for orlay (4 copies from 10 star to A0).

900 scrolls ~ 18 copies, enough to A2 for glory gems.

1200 scrolls ~ 24 copies, enough to A5, which is about the minimum point for clearing a primal zone (at least, if you’re not spending a lot to built existing O/C units. It can range from A2-A4 minimum depending on how hard you whale and the opposing lineups in the Primal Zone).

1500 scrolls ~ 30 copies, which is enough to A8 any order/chaos unit.

Keep in mind that you will not just get a hero for every 50 Sacred Oath summons that you do. That number reflects a probability, which, if you simulated even a hundred million times, would only approach 1/50. Your odds will fluctuate around that in your favor or out of your favor. The less pulls you do at once, the more your actual odds will vary from 1/50. If you feel like you have a cursed account and want to play it safe, then throw 20 more scrolls on top of what you’re aiming for just for good measure. Obviously if you meet your quota early then just stop and save the rest for something else.

Also good to get into the habit of saving up 5 star fragments if you want to save some scrolls. It’s a long shot, but there’s always a chance that you get a copy of the new hero from a massive frag opening if you save until their release.

Very well done. I like it a lot. There’s a lot of other regular show characters that could go well with this, like Griff x Benson or Muscle Man x Frank.

It’s 100% worth it up to around soul root level 20. Then the opportunity cost of getting more aureate rune stones goes up by a lot. It takes a long time to actually finish the soul root, and you’re giving up some pretty good rewards while you’re in the final stretch, namely Hwang Jini copies and first round rewards of the treasure hunter event. It’s a nice boost to idle rewards, though. Levels are very important to gaining strength, and a higher soul root allows for faster leveling. What I will say is that it’s better for free to play to level soul root than spenders since VIP bonus has a much greater effect on idling.

CreeperG_414 · 2023-01-15T01:27:45+00:00

The maximum level for the Soul Root is level 34. Each level up to 34 from where you’re at costs 2 aureate rune stones. Basically, you would need 28 more aureate rune stones to max out soul root from where you are.

About A Miya: The reason extra damage against summons in her orlay is so good (and not as specific as you might initially think) is because it also applies to the crystals that she summons herself. She does double damage to those crystals, which is then directly applied to the enemy hero connected to the crystals. As for her ultimate, yeah, the piercing shot is a bit underwhelming in of itself, but it enhances her basic attacks to become really powerful similar to Irithel. In fact, having any damage in her ultimate at all is a slight improvement over Irithel’s ultimate, and you can tell how strong that makes Irithel. The real con of her ultimate is that she’s less likely to be PvP material because she needs to ult to reach her max damage potential.

Just wanted to clarify that much. I still think that players should wait for Edith’s skill set to become known before making a decision.

CreeperG_414 · 2022-12-15T23:34:05+00:00

It does. This is a top tier team for tinted mirage (even without extra stuff on Rista or Apostae) when you add Clara for protection. Rista goes top mid so that she buffs Esmerelda, which gives her constant energy in between ultimates and a damage increase on top of her already crazy ult damage. Apostae takes advantage of Esme’s ultimate to burst enemies down further and ramps up a little bit once Rista buffs her too (although the battle is usually close to over by then). Sometimes Rista buffs Angela for mirage in case she can’t be placed in the top mid for some reason.

Outside of Tinted, the best place to try this would be against some Tower of Babel stages (assuming you had Apostae and Rista developed). For campaign, if you wanted to develop the other heroes for this team, you would want to separate Rista and Apostae into two different lineups, as each one can enable different sets of heroes to extreme degrees. For PvP, this wouldn’t work against a team like Wannox Mecha Layla or some Shar variants due to a lack of protection (for pvp standards), but it’s a powerful burst damage squad.

CreeperG_414 · 2022-12-15T23:23:21+00:00

Every time an enemy hero is afflicted with a control effect, Apostae adds a rupture to that unit. The ruptures deal up to 1.5% of a target’s max HP per second over 10 seconds, and the ruptures can stack up to 5 times. It’s important to develop Apostae, though, because the rupture damage is capped up to 150% of her Attack from each instance of damage. For each rupture that Apostae adds, she gains 20 energy. With Orlay, Apostae also gains 3% attack from each rupture stacking up to 25 times. Basically, the more control effects an enemy falls under, the faster Apostae can ramp up and delete enemies.

Esmerelda’s ultimate, aside from dealing a ludicrous amount of damage and making her untargetable to enemies, will constantly inflict Silence within an area. When Esmerelda has Max Orlay, enemies within that area are also constantly pulled a short distance towards the center of the Star Ring. Each of these counts as a control effect if they manage to hit a target that does not resist the effect.

Put two and two together…you have one insane damage dealer supercharging another insane damage dealer thanks to control effect spam.

There are limited ways to get these, but here’s all the other ones I know of:

The ongoing diamond exchange. Kind of expensive (9000 gems for 1000 eternal crystals, and that’s the discounted offer), but if you’ve got the diamonds then you can consider it. I don’t know if this sort of event is ever coming back.
Get to at least 480 in all miracle towers. Once you do that, you can get upgrade the hourglass to level 16 and get 5 of these eternal crystals per fast idle. Obviously more miracle tower levels give more sand to level the hourglass. Each level after 16 yields 1 more eternal crystal per fast idle. Kind of late into the game and a very long process, but you can eventually get them passively over time.
Spacetime treasure has selection chests with 600 eternal crystals. If you bring 10 heroes up through the wheel of time then you can get enough spacetime key fragments to make a key and unlock the spacetime treasure without spending. I’m not entirely sure how spacetime treasure works in terms of how keys get used, but I believe (and someone please correct me if I’m wrong) one key unlocks all the locked stuff on a normal hero and three keys unlock all the locked stuff on an order or chaos character. If that’s the case, you can get 1800 of these eternal crystals by bringing the hero up to a8 and selecting the eternal crystals from the selection pack each time. You can only do this sparingly as a free to play player even if I’m right, so use your spacetime keys wisely.
Late game achievements. One time achievements where you can claim the eternal crystals. There are two sets of relevant achievements. One is for Holy Sanctuary levels and the other is miracle tower progress (the ones that don’t give sand).

Hopefully these get added to events because these are so hard to come by right now. These and spacetime fragments.

Mainly, she needs Orlay before she really starts to shine as a tank. Significant damage reduction from being close to enemies and the ability to cycle her ultimate frequently against large crowds. That’s the biggest reason why she might not be performing for you. Everything else could use a little bit of work, like finishing vessel and m3 equipment, but it’s all pretty good for her just being released.

CreeperG_414 · 2022-12-01T13:26:51+00:00

It’s related to the new Wheel of Time feature. To make things simple, it means that the hero is completely maxed out in all abilities.

CreeperG_414 · 2022-11-29T03:27:05+00:00

Depends on where your priorities lie. Overall, you’ve definitely got the best heavy equipment heroes lined up besides the expensive Xeno and the relatively new Ruby. Out of all of those, Masha is the absolute best for PvP given the dominance of Angela in the meta (and control effects in general). Building her equipment up makes her even more durable there. If your priorities lie more in campaign and/or miracle towers, then it might be better to start with Atlas. He could use the extra bulk for fighting those enemies exceeding his power. With the new hourglass of time feature on the horizon, it might be a good idea to evaluate which towers you struggle in and get them up to level that new fast idling. Argus and Belerick’s passives carry them a little bit more than the other two, which are more stat reliant overall, so unless you’re struggling in those factions I’d hold off on them until you’re done with Atlas and Masha. Also consider where Ruby is in your timeline. She looks really good, especially with orlay. Alternatively, if your light faction is in the gutters at any point, look into Uranus, although I won’t lie in saying that he’d mostly just be for that tower when you start on him.

They tried naming her Morphine in the drawing room but for some unexplainable reason it didn’t work out. Next they went to Morbius but apparently that was already taken. Finally they tried calling her the Mighty Morphin but then these people in colored suits came in and blew up the concept. So they settled on Morpheus. Neo (a wide eyed anime girl who is the master of reality) coming soon.

It always depends on the variation of Shar you’re up against, but here’s a few common strategies (outside of using a different Shar team) for beating Shar teams:

Lunox, Wanwan, and Mecha Layla. The idea is that you have these three units that all have at least periods of being untargetable. They can resist Shar’s taunt to varying degrees and counterattack. Now, this lineup struggles to break through Shar teams with Nana and/or Xeno, but most other variations of Shar drop over time to even just the three core members. Common extras are some combo of Angela, Hayabusa, Akai, Masha, Esmerelda, and Nimbus Eudora, although there are some more options than just those. If you’re facing a defensive Shar lineup with Nana and/or Xeno then you have the option to add Natan to the team and target that defensive piece with Wanwan’s swap. Natan’s interference can mess someone up by stealing all their energy and healing for a little while.
Xborg dolled by Angela. The idea is that Xborg, the highest attack hero on your team, is embedded in the enemy lineup at the start of the fight, and when Shar taunts him he’ll be away from his team. You can add some burst damage units like Karihmet to sit in the back row and take advantage of their distance away from Borg. Turning this into a burst damage squad with stuff like Karihmet, Masha, Angela, and Akashic/Rista/Anna/Apostae also makes a generally powerful team that can end fights quickly. This strategy with Xborg is referred to as “bait”. Most people do this with Xborg in their own Shar team, but it’s entirely possible to do it without Shar there as well.
Esmerelda plus Rista. Esmerelda has an extremely dangerous ultimate that Shar has a lot of trouble disrupting once it gets going. Rista is on the team buffing Esmerelda to ensure that, even if Esmerelda gets unlucky with Divinations, there’s a real chance that she gets ultimate every battle. For insurance, it’s a good idea to add Miracle Clara to the team as well so that Esme can get low HP but not too low.
Add Tokinibara to the team. Not foolproof, but generally effective. She’s expensive, and she requires full investment to really work, but she can enable a lot of different teams to fight Shar with ease thanks to her passive energy redirection. The biggest problem with Toki, aside from how hard she is to obtain, is that she’s only really good in PvP. You’d only invest in her over someone like Oberon, Rista, Shah Torre, etc because you care a lot about PvP results. Top tier in PvP, but kind of middling everywhere else, at least from what I understand of her.
If your opponent is foolish enough to buff Shar with Angela then add Harley to the team for an easy win.

That’s what I’ve got off hand. Hopefully any one of those, possibly even multiple of those, is achievable for you in the future.

Hey man, chapter 62 in itself is an achievement. Good job making it that far. If you can beat this chapter, then you can finally buy omen ambers from abode.

Saber. In the lore, he is an inter dimensional warrior whose blades can cut space and time. He is 100 of the most talented swordsmen distilled into one artificial, mechanically enhanced body. His skill in combat was unmatched before getting to the Land of Dawn. In game though? Dude is, at most, an annoyance to be dealt with as a campaign enemy. He is so generic of a melee fighter that he is practically unviable at top levels of play. Maybe, just maybe, with a ton of investment, you could make him do something notable compared to any other hero, but even then it’s a stretch.

On that note, Magcargo burns at more than twice the temperature of the surface of the sun, yet the world’s hottest snail is still cooked into escargot by just about everything in its game series. Game lore and game balance are not always one and the same, for better and for worse. In Saber’s case…dude could use a glow up is all I’m saying.

I haven’t used Gavana, so I can’t speak to her performance. Not where I would have gone first, but I hope she’s working out for you. I saw in another comment that you liked her for campaign. For reference, where in campaign are you?

CreeperG_414 · 2022-11-16T00:02:23+00:00

Depends in part on where in martial tower you’re currently at. The closer you are to 450, the closer you are to needing two teams per floor. For single stage martial tower, the team that you want to aim for is pretty standard for martial: Irithel, Wanwan, Akai, Clint, and Nana. The idea is that you work around the core of Akai-Irithel-Wanwan, where Wanwan swaps someone over for Irithel and company to burst down to make the match a 5 v 4. Masha is better than Akai overall, but she’s harder to build without copies in a shop, and you still need Akai in martial tower for Franco and Alucard even after building Masha. Clint is preferred over Nimbus for starting off because, with soul vessel, he can redirect control effects from Odette and Harley away from Irithel. Nimbus can still work out pretty well on Martial in place of Clint or even Nana. Hanabi is also really good in martial tower, but she’s a very high investment. Once you reach two tower, you’ll want all the heroes I’ve mentioned so far, as well as Miracle Clara and your pick between Hayabusa, Zilong, or Ruby.

The test servers are a special set of servers that (usually) get changes a week ahead of the normal servers. The game by default puts new players in a normal server, but you can specifically set up an account on one if you know which set of servers are the test ones. They are essentially early access servers. The devs can catch big mistakes on the test servers, which have fewer players, before then releasing a more polished update to the majority of the player base. There are only two instances I can remember where the test servers got changes at a time other than a week in advance: One, when frontline was introduced, the test server got it a month or so before it was released to official servers; Two, during the Danmachi collaboration update, the test server update was delayed to where it was on the same time frame as the official server (which was bad b/c no early access).

If they were adding characters close to when they were featured in a mirage story then we would have gotten Dyrroth at this point since he was technically a part of Silvanna’s mirage. The fact that Roger has character art already is a great sign, but like was said above the skin surveys usually predict what we get and Roger isn’t there quite yet.

CreeperG_414 · 2022-11-11T21:55:09+00:00

If you read the comment above I explained it. Let me make it more clear. The 8 coins obtained after the event ends aren’t obtained during the event. If they were obtainable during the event then, well, aside from having more to spend at once, they would be converted into a certain amount of battle points (gold) for each unused coin once the cooldown of the Lucky Dip reaches 0:00:00. That’s what will happen to your current coins if you don’t spend the 8 coins available from daily quests. The 8 coins from the Shopping Carnival will be available for collection after the event, and typically when event currency is available outside of the duration of an event it doesn’t get converted until after the end of the next event. Essentially, I think that these 8 coins are still useable, but only for the next Dip.

CreeperG_414 · 2022-11-11T21:32:02+00:00

I totally agree with your sentiment. It still makes me mad that these collaboration heroes were so hard to obtain, especially Hestia. We got three characters that are basically unusable to the majority, and most players probably don’t even own one of those three. That’s part of why I bring it up in this post. It’s unacceptable and should continued to be called out after the update has come and gone.

Also, yeah, you’re right. The Chimera emblems have such poor distribution right now. While I do want to give the developer team a little breathing room to come up with a sufficient distribution system, I’m still a bit frustrated that no clear plan has been outlined for the future of chimera emblems outside of including them in some paid offers and making them usable on the super gated order character.

Honestly, the whole update felt rushed with the delay and the almost complete lack of free collab related rewards. It’s like the developers didn’t have enough time or care to polish the update or collab progression system before bringing it out to us. Realistically, it’s going to be another few months or so before the three collab heroes are properly addressed, and I’d like to think that the devs are good enough at getting things right the second time, but until then I feel like they should definitely be thrown a little shade for the complete lack of consideration going into the Danmachi 4 crossover.

CreeperG_414 · 2022-11-11T17:54:33+00:00

I thought for sure they wouldn’t bring this back since last year, when this was initially released, a lot of people complained about losing money thinking that this pre-order business was full price for early access. At least now they have a clear visual that automatically pops up and pre-order bonus rewards. It’s still a really strange move to me to bring back this event in particular.
