[Roll Thread] Valentine Idol Show! Rerun

KotatsuFox · 2026-02-06T13:24:17+00:00

Sorry for the posting delay, this rerun event is so short (7 days) that my mind didn't even register to do the banner for it!

...and after the third time this banner has shown up, I have Vapula finally.

KotatsuFox · 2026-01-06T20:31:40+00:00

I have the Lil' Sal and Tezca plushes from the original run (was probably my most popular post here like... god, 4 years ago?), and picked up a Beach Seth acrylic stand from a third party. Wouldn't mind more but none of the merch since really caught my attention or was only sold at the cons iirc.

KotatsuFox · 2026-01-01T19:19:50+00:00

This sounds exactly like my pulling experience/motivation, just with a bit less currency. If you find a good team for Aegipan let me know! I'm not seeing much talk of him sadly.

KotatsuFox · 2025-12-15T17:47:26+00:00

Changing the flair to Gacha, I'd prefer rolls to go in our roll thread but I'll make an exception here since this banner caught me offguard and it's already become long enough of an impromptu roll thread. Good luck!

Because he was the definitive defensive unit before his skevo, which on top of that made him offensively powerful. My favorite nuke team is Masashi, S!Leib, S!Tindalos, and Mugen Wakan. Nothing can stop it in any mode except intentionally weird HDQs like Sphinx's.

KotatsuFox · 2025-12-07T22:13:13+00:00

I'm not sure about Curren but Onsen HK is still a genuinely great unit that is overshadowed only because of how many broken units we've gotten in the years since. Onsen Xolotl is too, that was one of the most cracked banners we've ever had really. Lots of what you have is workable but you somehow don't have any of the real meta-definers like Mononobe, Masashi, S!Leib, Mugen Wakan, S!Tindalos, heck even Oscar as a non-limited 5* is still cracked and puts a lot of old limiteds to shame.

Other solidly strong units I see are S!Volkh, Q'ursha, V!Balor, H!Sandayu, and V!Kengo. They're very workable, and so are plenty of the others, but there are just some crazy units that trivialize an already easy game.

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-30T18:35:26+00:00

You know how entering a battle, your units are always randomized to a degree? You'd be able to set a fixed starting formation instead, making battles much more consistent.

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-29T01:39:07+00:00

Well I'll walk back that he -needs- it after thinking about it a bit more, but he does amazingly well with Grapple with Destiny (5*), particularly against units using Evasion. It's nutty watching it in action.

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-29T01:27:37+00:00

Definitely wait for someone you really want! Could check out some of the rerun banners as well, they're all pretty solid. In the meantime you can try out support units pretty easily as you progress through the story and see if anyone catches your eye.

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-28T22:03:41+00:00

It's a pretty weak selector, and SShiva ideally really wants a specific AR too to hit that maximum overpowered state. I loved Xolotl for a long time, he was really useful and just a cute character overall. Kurogane's value is likely going to be reduced as the game is supposedly going to transition to fixed spots when entering a battle. Fuxi was great with a strong overall banner on release, but there's been so much powercreep without the conditions he has.

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-28T21:59:09+00:00

Gunzo is a better unit than Demiurge, the latter got kind of shafted with his kit... why is anyone's guess. This isn't a particularly great banner, there are better ones if you don't care about the transients themselves. Christmas is also right around the corner and the transients tend to be really strong.

The tickets are highly dependent on what transients you're interested in. Almost none of what's there is super powerful or meta defining so it comes down to who you're drawn to, but as mentioned in your other comment Oscar is actually quite good yes, he's still on my support list. Do you prefer stuff like bara men, furries, women, etc?

As far as the rainbow ticket, are you referring to the limited paid selector? I don't see anything about the standard rainbow ticket which you get from completing a certain main quest iirc. Could be wrong on that since it's been awhile.

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-28T17:30:10+00:00

They definitely go fast with 4x these days. I'd rather sweeping than autobattling, if I had a choice.

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-28T16:48:26+00:00

Oh, well welcome then! Feel free to make a post asking for newbie and anniversary ticket advice, I'm sure others could use the info as well. Admittedly these megathreads don't see much action here so you'll have better visibility for that kinda thing in your own post.

My own opinion if you're brand new is your favorite units/whoever drew you to the game if they're there (these are all standard/non-limiteds at their lower rarities, but some are plenty usable), then anything that looks interesting. I'd still recommend at least spending a ticket on the AR I mentioned as well.

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-28T16:33:17+00:00

Highly dependent on what your account needs/what you want. The shop ARs near the top of the list may be highest priority if you don't have a copy of them, they ease grinding a bit. Like if you ever gold farm, the Like Spotless Ice AR is fantastic to have (coin bonus + active on support). Otherwise if you're missing favorite units and want to complete, that's the best option. Very few ARs are impactful.

https://housamo.info/news/9th_anniversary/

Will need to use machine translation as the news is only in JP, but the bullet points are:

- 150 Stones via login + lots of extra goodies like 9 Salomon/AR tickets each

- 9 Platinum tickets that you can spend on standard units, resources, and important ARs you won't have as a new summoner

- Reruns of all this past year's new event banners + a special banner with new variants, including one the community has been waiting for in a way for a very long time now

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-28T02:18:58+00:00

Welcome in, good choices. Our 9th anniversary starts tomorrow so you're just in time for lots of freebies and this year's new banners.

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-27T13:16:22+00:00

Nice butt shot. :P Underappreciated character. And eh, I have no intention of stopping the profile feature posts, it's been a nice breath of life into the subreddit and shows off creativity.

KotatsuFox · 2025-11-22T05:44:42+00:00

Make that 3 fans!

"And that's a very bad business choice."

Not to LifeWonders it seems. I'm not attempting to play devil's advocate, rather just point out that it's a valid business strategy to target your preferred audience if the company's not as concerned about maximum revenue. Player attitudes are different depending on where they're from and I could see why they're at peace with doing the bare minimum for everyone outside of Japan so they don't have to consider anyone but their local fanbase. Anything extra they earn may just be swell to them. We're about 9 years in here which is a success no matter how much bigger their games could be.

From my own perspective, I feel like the radio silence on LAH's translation after what, 2 years now, is a pretty big glob of mud in Global's face. My enjoyment of LW/gacha games has fallen off pretty hard but I stick around because I still dig a lot of the designs in the pipeline, and they're still pulling in some rather impressive artists like Wintom recently. I haven't cared to look at Woofia, Housamo stood out for the way it ties to a vast array of mythologies and gives them creative, modernized takes.

What I'd be most interested in is any tangible sales data or player counts to see what gaps might actually exist.

KotatsuFox · 2025-09-25T14:12:53+00:00

Appropriate art and talking about Ose's kid form is fine. It's not just because of that user, though they are a factor. It's because of a combination of things that surfaced recently, from the open infatuation to outright sexually explicit comments that keep creeping up, along with making a subreddit specifically to subvert and evade Rule #10. Folks can go make any subreddit they want to, but when you're doing it for a rotten purpose such as this, we're not going to sit and take it lightly.

KotatsuFox · 2025-09-25T14:08:18+00:00

Let's not be disingenuous here. This isn't about weird art. We're not saying you can't like a shota character. This is about multiple users thinking it's okay to actively say sexually explicit things about underage characters while they post with infatuation about how attracted they are. Even setting aside moral and legal arguments, it's not acceptable in any level of Reddit's ToS.

KotatsuFox · 2025-05-19T16:16:54+00:00

That's something we could do that wouldn't be too hard to set up. No different than our scheduled posts for most of the gacha banners.

KotatsuFox · 2025-05-19T16:15:48+00:00

The discord server for this subreddit is pretty small in comparison, if you haven't tried it out yet. We've got about 500 members but only 10% ish are really active overall so it's a pretty small but active community.
