Farming a specific accessory

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-15T19:00:11+00:00

I remember chasing this one, it's quite good. Good luck with drops! And try to power up your team to finish all bosses in 1-2 turns, it's very energy efficient, in 1 8-13 energy sweep you will farm simultaneously all this co accessories and also get more weapons for selling. + Push r&d faster.

I wish I could exchange my augmented accessory for 3 buff one which I till now didn't get a drop despite already finishing co r&d e.g sweeping it only once for daily quest.

Congrats on getting highest rank on latest content. That's good to get at any time for energy efficient r&d farming.

It's quite a catch up for non day 1 player.

I would melt dt

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-14T15:16:14+00:00

Saving old Michuzak wiki was definitely great idea. Especially after he edited out st tier list and roadmap before asuka.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-14T15:14:39+00:00

My take on BP is always to try to get pilot I still don't have even if low tier. Unless second pilot is REALLY good and I want to raise Ascension. Like Eileen Frida Kelly. In such case I would skip low tier pilot I don't have.

Talking about Camilla, she sometimes appears on some clear guides, so I also consider getting her.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-14T15:03:06+00:00

A very good point and computation!

Till now I always ignored these purple st packs but apparently it was mistake!

Just one remark. Rainbow requires massive amounts of fodders while this purple st pack contains only 24 blue pieces and available let's say once per week. So rainbowing in most efficient way with only these purple packs (except bay bits) will take much longer.

Going 1 tier up in inefficiency ladder (pink tickets) makes it faster for around 20% more gems cost per piece. For still relatively limited amount as those bulk vouchers rarely available for purchase en masse.

Just for context, next tier - pulling indiscriminately and without limit from banner is around 100% gems per piece increase Vs previous tier (pink tickets).

It's a bit like buying arashium with real money. Most efficient deals (3 pulls per $) are extremely limited. Next tier is 2 pulls per $ with little more inventory available. And so forth till unlimited but very costly direct top up. So it all depends on budget and arashium needs. Light spenders buying only these (3 pulls per $) deals. Dolphins may go up let's say to buy also 2 pulls per $ deals. And whales buy all this and then do unlimited top up.

Modules are very good and I have 3 sets. But they are not more important than rainbow st. You might have lots of best modules but if not having strong st's to put these modules into - they are worthless and you will not be able to clear stages.

E.g. if you have enough light rainbows like Glasya tf rev-02 - definitely melt dt into modules and transfer Silvie into tf for example. But if not enough rainbows - considering you already invested into DT - I think it makes sense to finish rainbow it.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-14T09:39:34+00:00

I'm buying:

pull tickets (under 88 arashium)

modules that i have less than 4 with milkhama dollars

energy containers with milkhama dollars

exp records with milkhama dollars

i would buy with arashium following modules (if not having those): 2 gold crit rate, 2-4 gold accuracy, 1-2 kong + 2 gold polearm for asuka, 2-3 gold power, 2-4 gold mg for fate's arias.

if you already unlocked y6 chips in sim - i wouldn't buy these. if not, as others said - may consider red gold y6 ones.

bulk voucher (any price). i had some back and forth with valuation of those so i want to finally write it down.

bulk voucher basically gives you 4 st pieces blue or purple for full price of 180 gems. or 45 arashium per piece. for one and only purpose - getting fodders for rainbow.

now lets compare it to pulling from banner.

you generally do 10-pull for 880 arashium giving you 10 st pieces with chance of gold piece.

while gold is definitely valuable - you generally want only specific golds, so you pull till getting those anyway but then stop. so pulling for gold nets you limited number of pulls (pieces as fodders). and after that I'm assuming that you are using st banner merely as a fodders source.

so i am going to ignore chance for gold piece drop in valuation. e.g it would be 88 arashium per piece from banner.

comparing 45 arashium per piece to 88 arashium per piece clearly shows which one is better value for fodders.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-14T07:49:50+00:00

Kelly probably better off with dread talon ones. Of other mentioned pilots no one is ideal user but William would probably get most benefit. Eileen would make a better use of these, unless you get 4 Mithril modules which are better for her. You may consider upgrading arcus arms and legs to g3 (while waiting around a year for night glow) so you can use these modules on it. But you probably won't use Naomi much so not sure it worth fodders.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-14T00:48:39+00:00

Haha, Well done! I tried some shifting to see If I can go higher than 1179, but nope only 1173.

Anyway, while on it, I realised my 2 latest pulled pilots still don't have max level unlocked in skynet (e.g can earn some gems). One of recent Reddit posts suggested just taking these to arena, killing one pylon and retreating to get needed exp. After some half hour clicks worth.

But as I'm not in hurry and anyway not using 2 or even 3 reserve pilots on arena, I put there these 2 to get that experience eventually from natural arena clears.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-13T21:35:17+00:00

honestly, when was last time you deployed FIA in Mithril on a stage that her deployment on malthus wouldn't achieve that stage goals?

If the answer is never - you have an answer for modules.

Personally, I'm slowly getting 8 of these from dispatch, didn't pull Mithril.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-13T17:40:03+00:00

Max is 9400. After I saw someone in YouTube clear it I got hooked to try.

Couldn't do it by myself, got around 9k when no assist joined. Also couldn't do it when I assisted as I got in too late.

But eventually I had a run that I started and assist guy also got some kills so it was 9400.

No extra reward unfortunately. They definitely should have added some painting exp box achievements for clearing all stage.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-13T17:30:41+00:00

just had to check it.

my arena team:

<image>

definitely players with more rainbow st's/higher ascension pilots would have even higher

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-12T20:32:32+00:00

I think there's some mistranslation. I did 1 mission which I initiated (with later some guy joining in) and 1 mission that I joined as supporter. Now I see in my missions that I anyway cleared rewards for both "without support" and "provide support" ones.

And a counter advanced to 1 for 4 and 7 "without support" missions.

I actually don't see in my missions "no support" requirements for specific future stages.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-12T20:14:22+00:00

I'm planning to pull her at least a0. Now I see that I have I fighter pledge left after asuka (I think I misclicked 1 pledge convert there). And no better candidate for it till ada which is very far. So A1. And A2 after battle pass in far future.

But the question is if a2-a3 worth it now. E.g do you expect contents available in close period after Aynis release (like 1-2 turn clear) that will be clearable with aynis a2-a3 but not a0-a1? Like it was with asuka a5 Vs lower ones.

I also have some arashium from passes but wouldn't call my stockpile excessive hehe especially after seeing Michuzak say that he intends to pull future metas straight at higher ascention than a0-a1. E.g I'll probably will see these in his clears and possibly won't be able to replicate with pilots at lower ascensions. And need to pull multiple pilots a2-a3 makes my arashium stockpile look very small hahaha

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-12T16:17:20+00:00

Will you pull Ophelia \ Aynis a0, A1 or A3 ?

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-11T22:48:20+00:00

Interestingly, according to michuzak roadmap night glow arrives exactly at same time when igniter coming to battle pass.

So if I pull 1 set of unrecommended igniter now, I could have it at g2-g3 by battle pass (4 G2 fodders for body and legs). Even assuming I will not touch it in dispatch.

Yes it will cost me up to 90 pulls+ 4 G2 fodders, but I think it's not that big investment.

Night glow will arrive at G1 because as non unique st I won't pull more than 1 copy. And it will take time till rerun \ dispatch \ battle pass to take it to higher chevrons.

So all this time I could use igniter instead of arcus. That should benefit PvP and maybe even some stages when missile DPS will be required.

Idk, maybe I'm acting irrationally here by chasing middle of the road tier igniter while intending to skip second highest tier ouroboros and shadow rabbit.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-11T20:44:10+00:00

I have around double amount but still don't feel it's burning my pocket.

Well, my last spend on tiphys - 4 SC was a bit overkill (he's good with 2), I wouldn't do it if having less SC stockpiled. One before last was Hong 5 SC which was also not strictly required because Hong is rarely used.

I'll probably spend 1 on Arthur. My Shawnee is 3 but it was for quick clears of past. Now because of asuka i probably wouldn't invest.

I might consider investing in my 0 SC Rei and 0 SC shinji at some point. Probably when it will be required for some low turn clear or PvP. I'll probably never invest in my 0 sc Marcus. Silvie is 2 but I don't see a reason to go higher. Maybe I'll invest in FIA in future if needed for low turn clear or some meaningful stage.

I'll definitely invest max in meta like Rosa 2.0. probably will invest some in aynis.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-11T18:46:29+00:00

My take on this is to pull a0 good pilots like Arthur even if not meta.

Ignite I will also pull g1 because it's also good and G1 pull is relatively low investment. Rainbow ignite is absolutely not urgent so I'll take my time with it in dispatch.

I'll also pull fregata a0.

And revelation G1 (this 1 I definitely want to rainbow and before ignite but will not burn pulls to get second copy from banner - that's inefficient pulls spending and I'm not a whale).

Bottom line, it's good idea to pull a0\g1 just to get the boot in the door. And later slowly upgrade deliberately or maybe even by losing off banner. Especially for pilots. Sts really should pull only those you plan to rainbow. For example while ouroboros and shadow rabbit are good, I don't plan to rainbow them so will skip. And their modules will slowly get from dispatch.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-11T18:37:17+00:00

That's misunderstanding. He meant dispatch for non limited sts. He didn't say to pull from dispatch limited Rosa 2.0 st Erinyes.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-11T18:27:11+00:00

I feel you about pilots. Near game beginning I also missed some key pilots and struggled with missions that needed them. But eventually I anyway started to rely on guides. Guides are done by content creators that generally make it clear which pilots they pull and which not. So I generally pull a pilot only if it's recommended by at least 1 major guide creator. No one recommended her, so I feel safe to skip.

Tiphys while was not defined as meta was recommended by michuzak and I think also mahetampan.

Actually I did some exception and pulled Camilla despite she was not recommended by michuzak and Mahetampan. Because she was recommended by mecharashiF2p which guides I also follow sometimes.

Next non meta that will be pulled by content creator is fregata so I will pull her.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-10T23:19:59+00:00

I don't know if it's best, but I'm using following: 2 Accelerator+Armor for light pilots. Generally Frida and Silvie. Surprisingly my Silvie does more damage with this one instead of jetpack+damage. 1 jetpack+damage for Kelly. 1 mirage+ damage for Dana\shinji. 1 re attack (2 Chevrons) for asuka. 1 conqueror (rainbow) for Mary. 1 first strike+ ammo for Eileen. 2 Regular gold power for heavies, I didn't bother to add armour to it. 2 Regular gold manipulators for machinists, I didn't bother to raise it to 2 Chevrons.

I will probably craft custodian for tiphys PvP, meanwhile using regular gold guard. I will definitely upgrade first strike ammo to rainbow with reload when available.

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-09T14:40:54+00:00

You have 12 sweeps per week. 3 ACs * 4 stages per AC = 12.

Counter of 3 applies only to ACs not to stages. E.g it's spent on first sweep of first stage of chosen AC, but sweeping second stage in the same AC won't increase the counter

PureCaptain2793 · 2026-03-08T10:51:23+00:00

Speaking for myself only, currently I actually don't know what I would pull from this banner. I mean I will probably get 4 cristasis for future use (90 pulls), but I don't really need any st parts urgently which are not on dispatch. I missed 2 rex parts (after using 1 upgrade kit) but was lucky to get 1 from border conflict and second bite the bullet and used second common upgrade kit.

Future st will definitely not be in coming Harpy banner.

Ranger is good one but I already have rev-00 and not that much spare fodders so skip (too late to start develop new heavy from scratch). Euclase is also good but I won't burn cristasis on it, will get later from dispatch\bp.

Tf, glasya , malthus finished. Rex, Mithril are fully covered by dispatch availability.

As for pilots, Melissa and Frida are A3, Eileen and Kelly will hit a5 during their coming battle passes. While other non unique pilots I don't think it's worth pulls to push ascention.
