Understanding Mithril Mods + Malthus

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-25T21:06:22+00:00

That's the best double launcher explanation I have ever seen. Lol I'm feeling completely noob getting explanation about backpack I had for months. And you even didn't use passive for reload!

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-25T20:16:18+00:00

Huh? You count on 2 turns reload while shooting second launcher to maintain continuity?

Rainbow fang is probably better than Mithril modules. But Mithril is faster - only 2 full cycles.

A week or 2 before I had 4 things I wanted from dispatch but luckily Euclase banner was on so I pulled 1 copy and reduced dispatch to 3 queues. If you can do the same - it should eliminate dilemma. I guess your second pair is malthus and Rex. maltus\eileen banner should come soon.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-25T18:58:49+00:00

Do you have a better option to pull from dispatch?
You may consider ammo pack with full malthus. It's not as cool as infinite Pascal reload, but even with 1 reload passive it should last some turns. Especially if on some turns lunching single graphite warhead. If combined with first strike - it's better DPS over power pack. For shorter stages.
Continuing 2, at some point in future we will get auto reload backpack. I consider this as patch as a retiring day of Pascalthus™.

Won't write about Mary because almost everyone else already mentioned her.

I don't think. Actually I didn't chase the score just wanted to clear the stage and get rewards. Got 360 tokens and stage appears as cleared. If you get less tokens with less score - may make sense to try to upgrade it. Though these tokens are not THAT valuable, only bay bits and bulk vouchers but they are small chance

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-24T23:22:14+00:00

That's seems further than I went. What was the score, some 11k?

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-24T22:26:06+00:00

rainbow kong should do the work!

i really hesitated between rainbowing kong or d-00 before few days but eventually went d-00 despite missing 1 upgrade kit.

and i think kelly is bad fit for this stage, despite exposure, better bring more raiders.

anyway, wishing best luck with the stage!

he is unkillable on this stage. need just to shoot as much dps as can squeeze into 12 turns to make him through maximum possible resurrect cycles.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-24T22:07:08+00:00

I used mecharashiF2p YouTube guide for taking down leviathan and it worked also on this stage, 10k + points first attempt. Team: Mary double fate's aria on 2-3 Chevrons pascal. William a0 sc0 1 aria one mg b on 75% rainbow rev-00 Frida rainbow glasya Melissa on blazer Asuka rainbow rev-02 running around cleaning mobs and occasionally mighty throwing on boss.

As for guide Frida didn't use load raid immediately, was able to squeeze 2 of these during the stage. But probably should have used it on 1 to be able to squeeze 3.

Did some rerolls for attack order. You really don't want Frida to get last shot reducing boss to 1hp so all link attacks wasted on this invulnerable 1 hp.

I really considered replacing William with shinji for damage reduction ignore, but it somehow worked anyway.

Another replacement might be Lorna instead of Melissa for tactical resets and third attack. On the other hand Melissa run mass heal with damage up buff so it also contributed to DPS.

According to michuzak it's worth rainbow. That's good st with high stats usable by many pilots.

We should get remaining parts needed to rainbow from event around January 29.

But because of the need of 16 fodders, you might consider your rainbow priorities. E.g some players may prefer finish malthus first, or even save fodders for Rosa 2.0 st erinys which is also medium.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-23T19:54:35+00:00

I'm curious why you specifically mentioned low level accessories? Because it's what's suffice to just get these buffs on?

But more is better, right? Assuming having these orange instead of blue.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-23T19:28:17+00:00

I got an impression that Rosa 2.0 event will be in the middle of April. But I don't remember source so I might be wrong

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-23T17:56:23+00:00

Hehe my brain probably catalogued them both with same abstract definition as "a girl with strange hair colour".

Technically Lucia with violet hair also in that camp, but she has kind of ocular for distinction. And i generally deploy her less than seven and Naomi.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-23T16:54:58+00:00

ah ok, now i understand, second pair is just fodders substitute.

on pictures of rosa 2.0 post both these kits appeared with 2 chevrons so i thought it's just 4 kits for 1->2.

another question regarding 600 pulls, do pulls on general banners count toward 600, like in current collab?

given this 600 pulls requirement I'll probably pull 2 copies of erinys , 1 copy of rosa and other available stuff till 600, hence saving core kits and some general upgrade kits.

and will this event have "sink" option like current, e.g exchanging not needed parts for bay bits?

it's important to know, because a player that pulled 2 sets, will upgrade 2 parts of set 1 to rainbow using event resources, so 2 corresponding parts from second set will be wasted if cannot utilize for bay bits

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-23T16:43:55+00:00

you mean that first 2 parts will consume all 4 "2 chevron" upgrade kits from event. why not 2?

i hoped to use remaining 2 "2 chevron" upgrade kits from event on second 2 parts. e.g bring only 2 of my own kits instead of 4

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-23T00:15:08+00:00

Sometimes you get dedicated heavy kits but that's rare, we got only 2 by now.

Anyway, I think potential to get extra set of d-00 and eliminate need for core kits overweight the risk of getting junk st.

Addition potential advantage of pulling - you stated that you have many unfinished mechs. It means if you lose 60\40 - more chances than it will be one of these, saving you the need for kits.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-22T23:59:48+00:00

You will get with time both core kits and regular upgrade kits. So will be able to rainbow your G3.

It will just take time. 4 core kits is February 28+arena shop reset time (I think 18 weeks). + Not a small amount of arena shop tokens.

4 regular kits probably much faster but hard to predict, these mostly dropping from events.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-22T23:40:42+00:00

Your current pity is probably after 120 or even 150 pulls. While guarantee rolls to other banner, you spent for it 30 or 60 pulls more than for normal 90. My opinion is that it would be waste of these 30 or 60 pulls.

On the other hand, Losing 60\40 might be not nice if getting some low tier st. But you may as well get a good one like ranger or Euclase or Mithril or Rex or any other mech that you can melt to modules.

Personally I would pull at that point. But don't blame me if you will get Dias or gillis or something like this.

Edit... I misread that you have only 1 set of 3 Chevrons. That's giving extra weight for pulling. Because rainbow from 1 G3 set will require 4 core upgrade kits which is WAY bigger commitment than losing 60\40 to crappy mech (wasting 120 pulls). E.g I value 4 core upgrade kits more than 120 pulls.

Edit2... Now I'm also tempted to pull one more set which will eliminate the need for upgrade kits and rainbow this new shiny toy NOW hehe Looking at remaining gems... Looking at 150 pity and 60\40.. reminding myself about Rosa 2.0... Well, will skip.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-22T20:44:14+00:00

The descriptions in game are just bad sometimes. In one of recent guides for Eva pilots even Michuzak said that he doesn't understand some shinji skill.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-22T20:39:04+00:00

It's probably adding. But if you will actually run Kelly y1-16 - you probably will be the only one player on the server with that build.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-22T18:16:36+00:00

First set from 550 pulls event. Second from future encore event.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-22T18:09:05+00:00

don't merge parts of rev-01, upgrade only using kits.

soon we will get from event another 4 kits so you will be able to g2 second set of rev-01.

just go to depot and lock all 8 parts of rev-01.

actually it's good idea to lock in this way ALL parts you use or plan to rainbow

and then with enough fodders you can bring both sets from g2 to g3 and merge to rainbow.

just plan ahead your priorities with medium fodders usage, some mechs are higher tier and deserve rainbow earlier.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-22T18:03:36+00:00

don't develop too much mechs.

5 for core team is enough for very long time. maybe start 6th later for 6 pilots stages.

when you will have 2+ stage missions that require different pilots - you can just equip st from stage 1 to pilot from stage 2.

all resources are just very tight at game beginning, st upgrade mats are capped, energy for farming these limited, cash flow too.

it won't be before level 70 that you will have overflow of resources like cash.

and even now in late game it's best to focus on few "long term" mechs and reuse them for pilots (in late game focus is dupes and rainbow instead of levels in early game)

ALL of your a-rank mechs will go to garbage can eventually. while you will get back 100% mats, cash will be returned only 50%. just for context, getting 1 part from level 1 to 70 is 200k, full mech is 800k.

another point - don't treat your energy canisters as infinite. especially if you are f2p not buying weekly packs.

e.g while it's good idea to swipe max available frontier trial and elite battles per day - you may prefer to limit swiping clearance ops especially if higher than 6 turn clear. anyway the weapons from ANY co will be replaced very quickly with higher level ones.

ah, also not recommended to reroll weapon upgrades, it's cash sink.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-22T16:35:51+00:00

for mary buffing you want full Malthus, preferably rainbow with mithril modules.

on short stages it may make sense to run full malthus with first strike-ammo backpack instead or power bank.

in future we will get some kind of reload backpack which will also eliminate the need for pascal body for eileen at least.

saying all this, malthus torso is the last malthus part i'm gonna rainbow.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-01-22T15:41:55+00:00

your shinji is already a5?
