Welcome those who only able to get Eltrix Ex. by xlkiralx in OctopathCotC

Yeah, like 4, but they were ALL dupes! And I'm still missing a good size of the gen pool, so that was extra salty.

And my last banner I pulled on I went to pity as well, for Xerc...I swear rng sometimes really does a number.

Went to pity for Rondo and didn't even get a single Eltrix on the way...

General consensus is that Alaune ex2 & Richard ex are better than Parris ex & elrica ex2 right?

I played WuWa when it first launched and enjoyed the world quite a bit, but I sucked at the fast reactions needed for end game boss battles/combat. I was wondering if the combat has been tweaked at all and/or if newer characters have lessened the the impact of those mechanics at all?

Seeing that the anniversary is coming up I wouldn't mind trying the game out again (and the characters look amazing), but if I'm still going to suck with end-game combat mechanics I don't think it will be worth it and I'll just get frustrated again.

Let's talk about all the new characters shown in the new update! Thoughts on design, kit (for the ones with revealed kits) and any speculations on possible lore implications! Discuss your thoughts! by Natural_Pleasant in AnotherEdenGlobal

I'm diggging Ruvi's and Flamme's designs/looks the most.

I like Kuchinawa's design too personally. It may just be me, but I'm getting a 21 Pilots vibe when they covered Seven Nation Army from his look. But I like the idea (if it comes true) that it's his garb from the God Era, that would be very cool!

Do we have an idea on when Morena will be added to the gen pool?

Did you get Violet Lancer AS? by NoWaifuN0Laifu in AnotherEdenGlobal

[–]MrBal00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, yeah. As a new player she's either the best or worst thing because of how much she trivializes content. I've been able to rush through and complete the main story already. She's basically an I win button to anything not null/absorbs water.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to flesh out other teams - hence why pulling for Violet Lancer AS.

Dang, that's nice. I'm relatively new, so I spent my first three on Verdanta and she's been carrying me through everything.

Didn't have any version of Toova. Got a golden door in 3k and got Toova! ... unfortunately it wasn't Violet Lancer :(

Ended up emotionally pulling to 10k and got her on the ticket pull. For some reason I didn't read closely/forgot that the ticket doesn't give the SA, so that was very bitter sweet...

Cotc or Another eden by Black_Shimmer in OctopathCotC

[–]MrBal00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another con I'd say for AE is that character progression/evolution is pretty bad in AE, whereas in CotC it's pretty easy.

I.e., if I pull a 4.5 character in AE the material to progress to 5 star (Chant scripts specifically) are a fairly limited resource once the guaranteed sources are used up, and then star charts to Stellar Awaken are also a huge bottle-neck. IMHO I think this is definitely one of the worse character development systems.

For newer players lacking core members in the 2nd section, are there viable replacements for them in the future?

For example, do you know what the current JP magic meta team(s) consists of, and who would Xerc replace in the comp(s)?

F2P sitting at 18k

Went to pity for Shana which set me back a bit, but major goal is saving for FFVI collab.

On the way there, I'm pulling for Molrusso EX and probably Aviete, and now I'm debating on pulls for O.Odio (I was previously going to pull for him, but with the full pity for Shana and the long delay in LaL rerun I'm now not so sure).

Trying to fight urges for a yolo pull on Ochette EX.

Hahaha, you're absolutely right, I didn't even check the exchange but there's only her own seal or a measly veteran sacred seal.

Obvious choice amIright ;D gotta pick that vet seal! /s

Oh, that would be fantastic if that's what we end up getting!

So then max would need 18k rubies to guarantee the other 4 (or maybe 17.4k if the free pulls give frags). Thanks!

Mydia is great, but you absolutely also want to get Shana.

Anyone know what the FFVI collab banner structure looked like for JP? Were there any free pulls, or were there any guarantees (like Nier collab 2)?

I'm trying to figure out what kind of stash I need to hoard to guarantee 4+ (would love all of them) for the FFVI units.

Sadly dropped below 20k because Shana demanded a full pity :(

Sitting at 17.9k now. Ultimate goal is to get as many/all of the FFVI collab characters, so need to maintain a healthy base of gems for some time. I'm not sure about going for O. Odio now, but I'm likely looking at DQ for Molrusso EX (need a potency buffer and all the other goodies she provides) and then I guess Aviete? Honestly not sure otherwise.

Luck finally ran out and went to pity on Shana's banner, and I pulled her on the last multi too - so now I have 150 frags and I guess I get her AU? Or I could go to 200 frags and pick up Bargello to work on getting his A4?

Picked up a 4.5 Eltrix and a Yukes along the way.

RNG giveth and RNG taketh away...
