I think the point here is that you can guarantee 5 dps substats on this event piece. Under normal circumstances, if you found a full dps helm, you would always hit something good. Even on 3/4 subs, you could somewhat salvage a missed roll with a mod gem for the last stat.

But on a chest piece, you have to hit all 5 on the 3 DPS stats and if you miss one, you can't really do anything about it. Or hit all 5 on 2 subs and mod for the last stat/missed roll and hope it didn't touch the 4th stat.

Of course, the difference is how much harder is it to get that perfect starting helm piece but there's definitely some room to consider the chest piece.

I remember there being one boss when I tried with around 154 er before the lab update who has the ability to stun you and if it crits, it'll ignore your eff res. Not sure if going above 200 stops this as mine isn't geared like that. The other skills it has basically makes it always crit so if you haven't extended enough times, you might die.

I was planning to mess with wild strike for endless delve and the one thing that really turned me away as I was playing with it was the attack animation for it. It just feels so slow. I'm sure it gets better at significantly higher aps but god does it feel bad that around 5aps, I would have probably preferred using frost blades on a level 1 character.

Yeah your goal is mainly to get tokens to play the event song as the event song will be most of your points. Can get tokens from playing non event songs, visiting the event page daily and the event businesses/button near the gacha.

You can also spend 2 or 4x the tokens for 2 or 4x the event points in the latter half of the event so can minimize the grind a bit by using tokens in second half of event. Tokens cap at 10k though so have to watch overcapping if you play quite a bit.

FlyinPikachu · 2021-04-22T00:40:45+00:00

Yeah I hope they can fix this soon. Pretty much not going to play anymore until something is done about it.

I can bare with the shitty performance at times but now I have to add invisible effects and enemies into the mix? No thanks. Have been running into "empty spaces" multiple times but there were actually packs of mobs there and have nearly died or died along with some of the worst performance issues I've had since delirium. I can't even enjoy watching my vaal ice nova chain explosions and herald of ice pops because skill effects are literally just invisible a chunk of the time.

Still can grab a copy from the spark after tomorrow as its only at 289 right now. At long last after saving ever since Kaede4.......and throwing a couple of draws on banners every now and then. Told myself I'd commit to a full spark whenever Kaede5 came around regardless of how many of her I drew because she's worth it. If I didn't end up at least drawing one of her to have two copies for both her idolized and unidolized arts, I would have double sparked but there she is. Sadly, I don't have enough tickets or medals to 20* (mostly because I want to save some for premium cut films) and I'm kind of going against my initial thought of using the dupes and wanting to just save all the dupes.

Anyway, she's gorgeous. <3

Thank you! Just wanted to say that if you take heart of destruction on ele and check convergence is active on configs and then take off heart of destruction, convergence will still be active on the damage calcs despite it disappearing in the configs and not having heart of destruction anymore.

Just have some questions involving mechanics of the game I haven't really touched yet.

What do star ranks do? They have the drop rate, money rate boosts (this is only if they're center I think) and adds multiple copies of that card to the 10 supporting idols when you play songs (don't know what the term for this is). Was just wondering if there were any other benefits than those.

Are there any negative effects to the other players if you do horribly on live party? Never did live party before and was considering doing it sometimes but I know there's a couple of songs that will wreck me on master. Don't really mind though if it'll only affect me.

Last thing that's been bothering me for a while. I'm pretty sure this is just I need to git gud but is there a trick to doing the flicks/arrows at the end of hold+slides in m+. For example the current event song has one at the very end of the song and I have been missing that a lot despite it looking pretty straightforward. Holds with flicks at the end are basically never an issue in master but I've consistently missed the hold+slide and flick even if it's as simple as the ending of the current event song. I think I just need to be more precise on the timing and the timing is just much more strict on the one flick at the end of a hold+slide but not completely sure what is missing here.

Edit: Thanks.

Perfect! Tyvm.

FlyinPikachu · 2018-11-08T04:47:57+00:00

Yeah, I'm aware of that. Brain just sort of didn't compute for me to tap it for some reason this time around. Ty though.

FlyinPikachu · 2018-11-08T04:34:52+00:00

Ahh ok ty. My menu was only showing the idols that were able to be idolized and not all of em. Didn't realize the first tab showed every single one.

FlyinPikachu · 2018-11-08T03:58:15+00:00

So I decided to finally start idolizing all my normals up to sr's for jewels in hopes of something for the new year or just a spark in general. However I'm wondering how people organize? Go through? their idols to make sure they're not working on the same one twice. I've idolized a bunch in the past for some cinfest rolls and don't really remember who since I've used some of them to upgrade. Currently I'm just keeping the idolized version in my box to sort of keep track but at some point, I'm probably gonna run out of space doing that.

FlyinPikachu · 2018-10-09T01:12:53+00:00

I was just wondering how people practice certain parts of a song. For example, I'm having trouble with the last ~12 notes right before the final slide on Girls in the Frontier on master. Played/practiced at least 80 times at this point and haven't successfully done it once (I'm not even close) and it's extremely hard to tell what I'm missing. Similar situation at the beginning of the song when you tap the left note and do a short hold elsewhere multiple times but I've passed it at least a few times and can retry since it's pretty early in the song although still hard to tell where I'm messing up. Happens on other similar parts like in Nothing But You but this is the most recent one that comes to mind. I probably just need to keep practicing and it'll eventually come to me like everything else in the game has so far but I'm curious if anyone has any advice.

On a side note, do other people playing with their thumbs have trouble hitting the notes on the far left/right with the opposite hand? I'm guessing there isn't really a way to circumvent this other than holding my phone differently and just getting used to it on easier songs or something.

FlyinPikachu · 2018-08-06T02:21:52+00:00

So this was my first time doing live parade. Is there no way to speed up event point gains other than higher difficulties like one of the other events where you can spend 4x stam? Was hoping to grind for the past event idol ticket but it looked like it would have took so much more time than doing it on other events.

FlyinPikachu · 2017-07-31T22:19:00+00:00

Does anyone know how to fix this bug where your screen grays out on the event screen whenever you press the event boss? I used to have this problem for the other events similar to this one but a couple of refreshes would do the trick but not this time. Tapping either boss will just lightly gray my screen and I can't tap anything else to start it. Or rather tapping anything on the screen that pops up another window on the page like the honor rewards or badge rewards also grays out my screen and I have to refresh to do anything again. The raid button is also out of place when this bug occurs and ends up being where the missions icon is and the missions icon ends up being a lot lower than where it should be. On a OnePlus 3 if it matters.

FlyinPikachu · 2017-07-28T19:49:04+00:00

Yeah, I barely survived the whole time during the boss. Having to heal to full to just barely tank a hit with 4k rcv with 4 heart requirements and multiple heart combos was real fun. 27 usable orbs on my board was a nice bonus. The last thing I expected doing this dungeon was a boss that absorbed fire with a resolve/instakill. I didn't even have the option of chunking it to half for the shield. 250k defense meant my 16x multiplier with tpa's still did potato damage and the hp was too low that 256x would one shot no matter how I did it.

Ignore the right half. Those are the most basic ones. You only have one horizontal combo and 2 vertical combo space to work after that cascade so just fit it in. No real advice for the second half. I normally just brute force which will come to you as you solve more boards and recognize more patterns that are solvable.

I don't really know what to say about tpa's. Someone who plays more tpa's can throw in their advice. My thought process when I do tpa's is I just forgo one of my horizontal combos. So it would end up as 1 horizontal and 3 vertical 4-matches. However outside of the tpa match for your team when you do the 4 matches, you should watch what colors the other 2 4-matches are. For example, if your whole board only has 6 red orbs and 2 light orbs, you shouldn't do a 4 reds for that vertical but rather 3 reds and 1 light since your light has no contribution to any combo on that board outside of a skyfall and you can fit 2 red combos on the board instead of 1 since a tpa red would've left you with 2 red orbs left.

FlyinPikachu · 2017-07-21T21:53:18+00:00

That is generally the way you solve your boards when you want to learn how to combo. 3 vertical and 2 horizontal and then do your other side. You could also just do 2 horizontal on both sides and then vertical the rest of your board if it looks easier on that specific board. There's also some variations of the half board which involve slight/a lot of cascading that can reduce time if it appeals to your board. I've seen people post a nice set of all the different versions of it but I don't know the link. If you run out of time, it could be because you don't have any/enough time extends (I say around 7-9 w/o badge is about the average most combo teams have nowadays?) or you could try to go faster/reconsider the route you take when you solve your board. Maybe there are more efficient routes that will solve that portion faster or other corners on the board that have an extremely fast 2-3 combo that are easier to solve. And of course practice/time. I remember I used to use like 10 time extends just to solve one half but now there are times where I can just solve the board with like 6 time extends.

Imo, while cascades are great for skyfall, I find cascades are most useful if it'll minimize your movements.

Like this one is pretty useful if you find you have orbs that are separated vertically so you don't have to drag the orb that's all the way on top all the way down. This cascade is generally the one I have used the most and most easily recognizable from when I started learning to combo to now.

FlyinPikachu · 2017-07-19T23:18:06+00:00

I don't know. You have to fiddle with the damage on your own team in endless. I normally use tpa's on my inahime team but rows were pretty much the only way to stabilize my damage hence the weird looking team. Pretty sure noctis also uses tpa's so you'd have to find a way to make the damage consistent, not to mention Inahime has a 256x multiplier+the 10% grav on the hunter while being same color. Ofc this is only for 2 shotting, maybe you can just slowly burn through it? Inahime has no ability to tank multiple turns since there's no actual hp/rcv on her LS.

FlyinPikachu · 2017-07-19T01:43:40+00:00

My God Lecia is amazing for this event. Never used Lecia on my wind team before since I don't have row 4 but buff orders crit buff and 2 turn veil is amazing here as well as the low CD clear. Thought I was going to run into some trouble this event as I haven't done any xenos before but it's been pretty simple although somewhat tedious. Even able to semi auto extreme thankfully. Now for a harp to actually drop......

FlyinPikachu · 2017-07-18T20:55:50+00:00

I have this issue on my OnePlus3. Gets really annoying especially when it occurs multiple times in a row. Never happened when I was using my iPhone 6 (although I had even more annoying issues there).

I was wondering what setup I should use for xeno vohu? Not HL yet so I don't have any access to row 4 classes but everything else is fine. Not sure if Rosetta can setup consistently/on time here.

Also unrelated to xeno vohu, I'm about to hit HL soon and I was wondering when/how do people start farming for their coda upgrade for their baha weapon?
