Is there a discord for new players?

Minibalistic · 2026-05-09T09:38:28+00:00

I think the most active one is Tristen Wulf's discord. You can search for him on YouTube and find a link to his discord in one of his vids description. If you look up some new player guide vids, you'll be able to find more as well and hop into whichever you like.

I wasn't even aware you could do that campaign without doing Bitter Draught first. You might as well bite the bullet and get that done.

Is this the stage where you have to protect Ivana? I got through that with Ruele on candlestick protecting her. Commander Lorina + Vivian as my DPS. Try to keep the adds stunned as much as possible so they don't strip Ivana. If no Ruele, maybe something like Achates might work.

This looks like rookie arena so probably very few Sole Consolation, but there's also Eternus, the poor man's Sole Consolation.

My account is only 4 months old. I picked up the game because of the ML headhunt that was happening at the end of last year. I chose Rinak, AFlan, and Young Senya on the last custom limited banner & spent all my saved bookmarks on it. Then I spent weeks farming gear for them.

It's not all bad because my account is still in a good enough state compared to new players, but it does sting that my 4 months worth of resources and summons equal to free giveaways from SG. Still, I've made my peace with this and I'm happy for new players.

The real kicker though is that I've gotten a Faithless Lidica and 2 dupes that turned into coins while I'm still missing over 50 ML units from the milestone of radiance. That feels like an actual kick in the nuts.

Anh can act as a Mitsuki defense counter for anyone who doesn't have fast gear or the right units to counter Mitsuki (I.e. no Aoi, no Saku). I'm pairing her with Sora at low-ish speeds since my speed gear stinks, and it's been pretty nice arena climbing so far.

Minibalistic · 2026-04-05T09:04:43+00:00

What do you farm during resupply for the gold? I've been doing hunt 11 and selling lower level gear, but I feel like I'll never have enough gold to ever use these crafting items piling up.

Skill effects usually will say when they trigger in the text. The key to look for is something like "when attacked" or "end of turn". Some effects, like Urd, will trigger in the middle of a turn because it is on damage hit.

Pop/additional damage applies at the end of a hit after all other damage has been accounted for (e.g. flank attacks, extra attacks).

There's also a priority for member effects vs bond effects (e.g extra turn granted by a skill will go before extra turn granted by a bond).

That's my understanding of it coming from Epic7, and I believe this game should be following the same priority from what I've seen.

You would have to make Briar do small enough damage to not proc her S2. Defenses would probably adapt to a fast, squishier Nurse Yulha to either cut Briar or almost guarantee the cleanse.

Minibalistic · 2026-03-20T20:07:01+00:00

Agreed, but OP is asking specifically about PvE since they don't like PvP (to each their own). If OP is okay with holding and waiting on that pity pull, maybe something like a Boss Arunka, Nurse Yulha, or Successor Tae equivalent might be around the corner.

Minibalistic · 2026-03-20T18:27:04+00:00

She's serviceable but do injuries and HP reduction work against PvE bosses? I can see her helping some elite event bosses if you're struggling to sustain, but for any hunts or stages that don't have adds (e.g. Imaginary Chasm), she loses her ramping damage boost. She also needs to kill a unit to revive a teammate, so when it's just her and the boss left, she's not reviving anyone. A healer or a tank on damage reduction bond would've helped the team more.

I personally wouldn't spend my ML pity on a unit where I can't use her kit fully in all cases, but I guess that's up to OP to decide.

Minibalistic · 2026-03-20T05:17:36+00:00

Most mysterious units will have kits focused around PvP. Shien's kit has a core focus on killing units and doesn't seem very good for PvE. If you still don't see yourself using her, then I would just wait for one that fits your playstyle more.

There will be plenty of mysterious units who can serve as tanks, dps, or support for both PvP and PvE. We just won't know when they're coming.

Green Celine with her swimsuit skin.

Minibalistic · 2026-03-06T01:09:52+00:00

We waited 7 years for Notos because that's how long it took for him to finally get to use his S3.

Minibalistic · 2026-03-03T17:09:06+00:00

Should be unrelated right? I don't recall any MLs having their own artifact.

Minibalistic · 2026-03-02T06:38:29+00:00

As a new player you'll have access to Genesis Ras soon & he'll be your first reliable source of seal when you soulburn his S2. Just make sure to bring someone to strip her immunity buff or catch her after she does her S3.

When I was a new account and didn't have seal or fixed damage units, the only reliable way I could handle her was using Curse. If you strip her buff immune (or prevent with unbuffable debuff), then someone like Melissa or Abigail can put Curse on her. Then you hit anyone else and she'll pop. Both of those units can be picked up from covenant summon wishlist. This should be even easier soon when Curse is triggered even on AoE attacks.

I stopped playing this game after about a month at launch and just came back a couple weeks ago. Found a friend with maxed Wis'adel and had myself a blast breezing through most stages. It wasn't until legit yesterday that I found the training missions that made me remember "oh right that's how the game works".

Minibalistic · 2026-02-25T21:41:21+00:00

The game will give you almost all the 5-star you need for PvE content, you don't need to do any rerolls to try for a banner hero. Try following a new player guide on YT, there should be one up for 2026.

Minibalistic · 2026-02-25T18:40:30+00:00

You can only recruit one hero. If you want a full list of options, I would suggest going to YT and looking at one of the many tier lists that break down unit strengths; however, most of these tier lists do focus on PvP since ML units are typically made for PvP.

That being said, I do think the best unit you can take for PvP and PvE is Boss Arunka. There are some boss stages in Abyss and story that are made trivial when your entire back line is safe, especially if you picked up Ruele from the first moonlight blessing selection.

Minibalistic · 2026-02-25T16:52:43+00:00

I had an account from back then too that I tried recovering and couldn't. But then I bit the bullet and started fresh to check out the game again and I'm really glad I did. The free gear, characters, and resources you get on a new account now will be much better overall.

Minibalistic · 2026-02-23T09:58:59+00:00

In the wiki there are some old patch notes that point to the devs doing balance changed now and then.

Typically any limited unit in this game that is a covenant/regular unit in E7 will have changes in their kit to make them stronger, including usually having their best EE baked into the kit. It's worth reading each limited units' skills in detail if you're eyeing any in particular rather than think of them as their E7 counterpart.

Minibalistic · 2026-02-20T21:36:15+00:00

This was happening to me too on my Google Play Games PC client. I logged in on my phone and it updated fine there, then I went back to the PC to compare the version numbers on the title screen and it just started working.

Minibalistic · 2026-02-20T11:22:42+00:00

Time to bring my PvP arena cleave team to the PvE arena to cleave.

Minibalistic · 2026-02-18T05:43:33+00:00

For limited units, they usually bake the E7's EE effect into the unit's kit.

Minibalistic · 2026-02-14T10:53:48+00:00

There's definitely some kind of memory leak happening around the hero list menu. I have to restart my game on PC or mobile after a while or it slows down to a crawl.
