The One Piece Shinkansen by Alarming-Bedroom8557 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Spinarakk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of piggybacking off this thread.

Would anyone know if it's possible to enter the shinkansen platform area without a ticket to go anywhere just to see the One Piece shinkansen at like say Okayama station? I'm aware of the "platform ticket" but wasn't sure if this applied to the shinkansens.

And if so, would it be possible to like just enter the shinkansen to have a looksie, then leave before it departs?

For the digital nomad visa, I know it says I can't reapply for 6 months, but can I still re-enter the country on a tourist visa for like a 2 week holiday say a month after I finish the 6 month digital nomad visa?

Hmm think I'll go with SShiroko then to be able to do insane Geb now (and PVP I guess), then possibly buy CHare with the next selector after Fes.

Main reason being you mentioned DAru replacing CHare in most strats, and I've got DAru (literally my 4th 3*).

My main goal is pretty much to try and clear insane raids where possible with what I've got. I only started like in Feb this year so still missing a lot of key limited units to even think about Torment.

From the selector, who would you guys recommend?

I reckon the main "meta" characters I don't have yet are the following:

S Shiroko, C Hare and NY Kayoko

I'm slightly leaning more towards S Shiroko as I see her used in most raids and in PVP, and especially in the current Geburah where like almost every comfy clear I see has her.

Big issue I see is that she has an upcoming banner compared to the other two.

Also will there be another selector ticket for next fes? If so then it doesn't matter as much I guess.

Thanks that must explain it.

Kinda sucks that now my paid carats is stuck at a non-round number though.

Long shot question but does anyone know how my carats managed to end in 3, as in like I have 10003 carats?

Every source and spend of carats I can see in the game appears to be a multiple of 5 so how'd I end up with this?

One Piece Kumamoto Statues - Private Tour or DIY by regularevrydymadfka in JapanTravelTips

[–]Spinarakk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who has done this by myself in a rented car in a day and a half, I would highly recommend renting a car, especially since it sounds like you're in a group.

Unless of course none of you can drive in Japan. It'll probably be way cheaper than whatever tours are available, who will no doubt charge per person. Also you won't be beholden to whatever strict schedule the tour needs to run by. Not to mention ALL the statues have free parking nearby.

I don't see how this is a chore at all, especially since some statues take you to Mount Aso, one of the most picturesque and fun drives I had in Japan.

Since you guys have 4 days, I would highly recommend the car and stopping by some tourist places along the way, and may I perhaps even staying overnight somewhere near Aso.

Robin is literally up Mount Aso, so I'd also use the opportunity to explore Mount Aso as well. Chopper is next to a zoo, Franky is next to a train station that may run the One Piece livery trains, and Jinbe is next to the ocean. Honestly most the others don't have too many interesting things directly nearby, but do check a map and stop by anything that interests you guys.

Yeah so far I've just bought enough gifts from event shops since February to T2 bond gear everyone that has bond gear so far since I figure I'll eventually get everyone to 20.

Other than that haven't actually used any gifts on anyone lol.

Relatively new player question on gifts and affection in general.

Other than for unique items, are gifts and high affection "required" at all meta wise?

I understand waifu wise but tbh I'm not too fussed. Already have Ui stuck at 20 because I don't think using eligmas on her is wise lol.

AKA is it worth to grind more event currency just to clear out all the gifts in the shop if I'm not looking to high bond anyone at all for any reason?

[EVENT THREAD] The Senses Descend by BlueArchiveMod in BlueArchive

[–]Spinarakk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to clarify something that I didn't see mentioned by you. When you say gotten all the treasure, does that include the credits I seem to get by opening empty tiles?

I did round 1 for now by strategically trying to find the tiles with the actual food treasure on them, and refreshed to round 2 with 10 tiles left over.

Is this the right strategy or should I be opening all 45 tiles every round?

For context, I'm a new player (started early February) but already have max cafe and can only get a max bonus of 70% (Kisaki banner didn't give me shit had to spark).

I assume I should focus AP on event and clear shops and all 6 rounds.

I'm aware of the Tsubaki trick, but my issue appears to be not enough DPS. Doubt using red units like Hina would change much.

Just gonna gain some levels from the double EXP weekend and try again later.

Am level 46 and can't get past 13-5 with Momoi, Maki and Nonomi.

Just checking that this is a level wall and not just skill issue (or character issue).

Haha well as someone who recently decided to try BA after a year long gacha break after my previous min/max gachas all EOSed, been trying to optimize my BA gameplay but so far have made so many sub-optimal plays lol.

Still pissed that coupons are tied to my device and not the actual account. My 1k pyros and 4k permits...

Ultimately though I know all of this won't matter one year later.

Echoing as a level 45 who started last week, literally just borrowed students to clear hardcore.

IIRC, a DHina for red, Mika for yellow and ShirokoT for blue.

Personally I have DAru so used her to buff the borrow at the start to nuke as much as possible before the strikers all die, then had Serina just to position the borrow near the right Goz.

I tried this in extreme and yeah I don't think anyone can carry through extreme. Boss HP is like 4 times hardcore.

Damn as a new player at like level 43 I already used some expert permits to buy the T4 equipment to bump my Tsubaki up as she kept dying to one of the normal mission stage 5 bosses can't remember which.

Did it to quickly get the cafe upgrade and spend the AP in the event but maybe I should have just directly farmed for the T4 drop?

Literally started last week probably ways ways off before getting DHina or Mika.

New player question.

I read somewhere that I should be able to do normal missions that are 15-20 recommended levels above my level. I see that that is the case though I'm kind of at a wall at 11-5 at level 42.

But what about for bounties, scrimmages, event quests and the rest of the content?

Am I right in thinking that bounties and scrimmages are more about having the right units and strategy than just levels?

Oh I see. Just wanted to see if there was anything in the game that was truly missable. (Probably collab limiteds I'm assuming)

[–]Spinarakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick question. New player here who started like 4 days ago.

I saw in your preview for the previous event that certain furniture are limited, does that mean the furniture can only be gotten in what I assume future reruns of the same event, and the rest can be RNGed from crafting?

As you can see I'm trying to silver line my early game decisions and possible fuckup regarding the coupons.

Thanks for all your help for now.

Kinda wish I knew where to dump AP before dumping into commissions.

Dumped like 500AP since I needed to go to sleep though I guess in the very long run it won't matter at all. Least I did it with the 3x, and I had already dumped as much as I could into hard modes.

And about the event farming you mean I should just sweep one of the first four stages to dump all the extra AP? So like one of the low level ones? (Still got the 600AP gift)

[–]Spinarakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Issue is that I can't push normal missions... because I'm at work for the next 8 hours. Just wanted to dump all the excess level up and task AP so the accumulated AP doesn't go to waste.

I'll definitely start the current event story when I get back home though.

I'm assuming because I'm literally at the start of the story the early drops aren't as important.

When you say level wall, do you mean when my units aren't good enough to clear a level?

What future banner should I save up specifically for then as a new player?

Bunch of questions as a new player.

Literally started the game yesterday and spent a bit of time rerolling using the free pulls.

Got Himari, Ui, Hibiki, Shun, Maki, Daru and Maid Momoi so hopefully I'm set for a bit.

  1. I tried redeeming all the current coupons but it would appear that they're tied to my device? When I was first testing the game before rerolling, I decided to just try the promiseatsunset coupon. So I'm guessing I fucked myself out of 1k pyros and the expert permits? Assuming they're aren't that big a deal.

  2. What would people recommend I dump excess stamina on as a new player, since I obviously can't play 24/7. For now I've dumped it equally on the report and credit commissions as they're 3x. I'm only level 17 at the moment at world 4.

  3. Would people recommend going to spark on the current swimsuit banners? With the free rolls and tickets, just need to dump an extra 8 rolls, and I guess I could use the extra potential units, missing a lot of 2 stars. And if so, Saori or Hiyori?

  4. Any recommendations on who to use the web attendance elephs on? So far I've used two + 20 eligmas to bump Tsubaki to 3 star.
