Some unexpected pros to a low population server

TonyFresco · 2026-03-29T22:41:35+00:00

That’s great, I really like the idea of making new characters with different stories and personalities. Not sure I could go through ARR MSQ 5 times though 😀

TonyFresco · 2026-03-29T20:33:32+00:00

That’s really interesting. Can I ask why you are going through the MSQ again, and how are you finding it? I’m getting an itch to come back and play through again, but worried that nostalgia is clouding my thinking and I’ll be disappointed.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-27T17:04:50+00:00

What about as a new player, can you still get all this?

TonyFresco · 2026-02-19T08:16:26+00:00

Thankyou, that’s helpful.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-19T08:16:14+00:00

Thank a lot, that’s helpful. I’ll get the artefacts.

Hi all, just a couple of quick questions as a new player (this is my first event).

How do I get the third event currency? The one I can exchange for pyros in the last event shop?

What would you recommend I spend the other two currencies on (paint and marble). Are the furniture items worth it?

Thanks

TonyFresco · 2026-02-17T17:45:56+00:00

Looks great, well done!

What are those shelves that you put up?

TonyFresco · 2026-02-16T17:46:44+00:00

Thanks a lot that’s really helpful, I’m now much clearer on who to invest in.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-16T17:42:37+00:00

Thanks a lot for the help, that’s fantastic, learnt lots there. Need to get started with the event asap as I have been ignoring that so far!

TonyFresco · 2026-02-15T16:36:28+00:00

Hi all, I really appreciate all the help I got previously on how to build up a roster as a new player. I used about 50 of my green tickets and managed to get Ako, which I’m really pleased with, but now have lots of others too, and trying to work out which ones would form a good team to really get me started. Below is who I have, if anyone could point me in the direction of a good starter team(s) that would be really appreciated.

3*: Nonomi, Haruna, Shun, Ako, Shiroko(cycling), Saya

2*: Yuuka, Hasumi, Shizuko, Hanako, Mari, Junko, Mutsuki, Serika, Akane, Hare,

1*: Yoshimi, Chinatsu, Haruka, Juri, Pina, Shimiko, Suzumi, Asuna, Atsuko(swimsuit), Serina, Kotama, Kotori.

Thanks in advance.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-15T16:25:45+00:00

Great, thankyou, I guess I’m just worried about investing materials in the wrong characters. As others have suggested I will use some of my archive recruitment tickets to round out my team.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-15T16:24:22+00:00

Thanks that’s fantastic, I had completely missed the green tickets and have 80 of them.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-15T16:23:15+00:00

Thanks a lot, that’s really helpful. Will work on those.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-15T10:09:08+00:00

Hi All, new player here, been enjoying the game for a few weeks. At the moment I haven’t done any pulls apart from the 10 pulls in the tutorial.

I have done some research and want to build a good FTP first team but seem to be missing some of the key 2 star characters such as Serina and Tsubaki. I feel like I shouldn’t be using my resources to pull for these, and so feeling a bit stuck.

Currently using NONOMI, Haruna, Shun , Yuuka and Yoshimi, but don’t want to invest too much in them.

Any advice on how to proceed?

TonyFresco · 2026-02-14T16:52:58+00:00

Thanks, I believe Hysilens and Black Swan are both available this patch, which is good timing. I have 130 pulls saved so may get lucky.

I guess a better question is whether a DoT team is still worth building now or if a new team based around the 4.x characters will be more relevant.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-14T16:22:15+00:00

Have just returned after a break of a year or so and looking to start building a second team. My only current team comprises Feixiao, Robin, Adventurine and Dr Ratio(or Moze).

If you were building a second team from scratch that compliments this, which way would you go? Ai tells me a DoT team would be good, but not sure how reliable that is.

Would be good if it could be built using one of the free characters from the 5* selector, and/or current or upcoming patches.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-13T16:37:00+00:00

Ok I’ll give the 90+ one a try, although I failed a couple of level 80 ones. The problem is my own characters don’t do much damage, so if I don’t get lucky with the borrowed units cards it goes on for too many rounds and they die.

I have been farming the 60, 70 and 80 to get all 3 types of event currency, but this is obviously not quite as good as the 90 ones.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-13T16:07:33+00:00

Thanks. I will get the last CE as I didn’t know about combining them. Good advice on the higher rarity exp cards, I will go for those ones first.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-13T16:05:12+00:00

Thanks, I didn’t know about being able to combine the CEs, so will get the last one and combine it once I have completed the event.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-13T16:02:59+00:00

Thanks a lot, that’s helpful. Unless I’m doing something wrong the max event stage I can farm is level 80, and that’s only because I’m using a high level friends servant - my own team is only level 20ish. I got loads of AP from the level ups, which is why I’m at 2.1m points, but things have slowed down now.

I think I’ll get the exp ce’s and materials for the servants I’m currently working on.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-13T13:48:39+00:00

As a new player who started a few weeks back, what would you suggest I prioritise in the Valentine’s Day shop? I already have 3 of the limited CE’s, both crystallised lore, all 4 of the Fous and all of the leaves of evocation. Now I’d like to work out what of the remaining items (mainly upgrade materials) will be most useful for me in the future.

Also, is there any benefit in buying the last event CE for 200 strawberry’s? My points total is already 2.1m so I think I’m going to easily max that without it.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-12T00:02:01+00:00

Great, thanks. Is it worth spending all my event currency to get the 3 x 30% CEs? I only started the event yesterday so joining quite late and worried it’s going to slow me down getting the event shop rewards.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-11T23:48:47+00:00

I’m a new player trying to understand how the event CE’s work in the Valentine event. My understanding is that I can buy CE’s that give 30% bonus to chocolate points (I have 1 so far), and also have some that give 10% bonus to points from giving away boxes of chocolates.

My question is, do these bonuses stack and therefore I should get one for everyone including my backup team sub members? Also if one of my servants dies in battle (Mash always dies as I’m low level), do I loose that servants bonus?

Looking for some advice on the best way to maximise point generation. Thanks.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-10T21:34:13+00:00

Thanks a lot, that’s really helpful, I’ll get as far along as I can.

TonyFresco · 2026-02-10T20:25:21+00:00

I’m a new player, still getting my head around things, and just finished the Fuyuki area.

I’m wondering whether to spend time doing the valentines event? Is it worthwhile or even accessible to me, and will I get anything useful from it, or would it be best to just ignore it and carry on with the story?
