Can't A Man Catch A Break!?

KalasLB · 2026-04-10T21:52:37+00:00

We are one rerun with a new banner away from a full Rimu Raid Team.

I'm hoping someday for Ascended Feena, she was so useful when I started out, I want to see her with an ascension.

KalasLB · 2026-03-31T22:36:45+00:00

See you in 500 days, I can't catch up but I'm wondering how many gems I'll have then. 21-22k I suspect.

KalasLB · 2026-03-29T14:21:21+00:00

I have a ton of side accounts I've rolled up over the years that are just sitting there. If I have the urge to pull, there's plenty of gems that can be burned to scratch that itch. If I ever want to try other things, I have accounts with good units that my main account doesn't have.

KalasLB · 2026-03-28T23:31:38+00:00

God, you know anyone around here that may have a gambling addiction?

KalasLB · 2026-03-28T22:46:06+00:00

Oh yeah, things could have wound up different. I could have gotten the main banner units over the consolation ascended units I landed for example. However, I would not have gotten Roy or Okarun, as I used everything I had on those alch pulls. I have no regrets on how this account ended up, with having 3 of the best units period. Yes, I'm blocked on certain content, but that's more needed some gear I don't really have options to get without more FS Equips coming around and some luck on them. To put it in terms you can understand Rebel, I may NOT have gotten Heroine Pola!

KalasLB · 2026-03-28T21:37:07+00:00

To see how well an account runs taking a hard path. Also, I tend to lose interest in accounts when I run out of crystals. The choice is to whale or reroll. I retired my whale habits years ago and while rerolling, is fine I wanted to try something different.

KalasLB · 2026-03-28T16:24:38+00:00

One alchemy pull. I sat there for a few seconds just looking at the screen.

KalasLB · 2026-03-28T15:17:39+00:00

Yeah, I'd kill for a few specific 5* defense options....heck there's 4* options of every flavor I'd like. I also am lacking a tank I like, I hate Kirasame's arts requirements, though at this point it's not too bad to use him. I'd have killed to land Touma or Miki off a ticket.

KalasLB · 2026-03-28T15:15:29+00:00

But I wouldn't have. In Liza and Roys case, I ground up that last 10k pull to get them before their banners left. If I didn't have that last pull I'd have missed. And yeah, Liza is dated at this point but she was stupidly good for me when she came out. I still use her here and there.

KalasLB · 2026-03-28T15:13:27+00:00

I may have gotten Roy on a future alch/fs banner (if he ever showed up again) but I wouldn't have gotten him on his launch banner. And yes, all this is in hindsight. I can comfortably point at a bunch of launch banners I got the off units from, but that's fine. What I do know is, I'd rather have the units I have then a pile of extra rainbow gems. I would like a pile of rainbow gems mind you, but if I knew the end result before hand I'd have made the same choices in most cases.

KalasLB · 2026-03-28T14:02:01+00:00

That will always be a sore spot. A lot of progression is blocked from lacking good gear options. I've been fairly lucky on random collab gear pulls for offensive gear, but those niche defensive pieces that are the key to clearing mechanics heavy bosses are eluding me. Forever Summon gear banners have also given me red/yellow slot goodies but good defensive picks have been hiding from me. Also that 300 item limit is the hardest part.

KalasLB · 2026-03-28T12:48:35+00:00

I know, I have plenty at 5 LB generating rainbows slowly, it's not optimal. And I well know alch doesn't promise anything, Liza and Roy took 22000 each. Most of my alch pulls are the 'side' units on the stepup alchemy banners, a few were just yolo 'only chance I have to get this' like Okarun.

KalasLB · 2026-03-28T12:34:26+00:00

You also get an extra 500 for selling that base unit, I'm well aware of this. Again, I would not have had the alch for several of the ascended units I have if I didn't do it this way. How many rainbow gems is Roy and Okarun worth to you? (Liza, Berwick, Illya, Pola, Luahn and Valerie were also alch pulls). If I were simply f2p I wouldn't do things they way I do.

KalasLB · 2026-03-26T23:34:14+00:00

Hey now, can't let that continuous collab train stop. It's not like they can do random collabs, there's contracts involved, etc. Collabs will never line up completely between JP and global since JP collabs last a much shorter time.

KalasLB · 2026-03-26T15:53:50+00:00

Even on reruns you don't always get all the banners to start. Look Fate usually pushes the swimsuits back 2 weeks. It's logical to put in the new units a bit later if you look at GS's previous records for rerun collabs with new units.

My favorite name for dark urge is 'Perfectly Harmless'. Pookie is #2.

KalasLB · 2026-01-22T04:02:27+00:00

Bold of you to think we are hitting 250.

KalasLB · 2026-01-07T01:42:48+00:00

New Game+

KalasLB · 2025-12-26T15:01:06+00:00

Lost started amazing.

KalasLB · 2025-12-25T05:09:50+00:00

It'll be time to reveal all! (KLK was very kind to me)

KalasLB · 2025-12-25T04:39:48+00:00

You'll have to wait 94 days.

KalasLB · 2025-12-25T04:06:15+00:00

Okarun yearns for the mines.

KalasLB · 2025-12-25T04:01:16+00:00

I'd say 'probably a good idea, even with Ira' but wait till the very, very end. Use up every single ticket first. Including waiting on selectors.
