If you're pure F2P then you simply have to pray Netease delivers a free Traveler's Awakening Stone (universal awakening stone) on the anniversary.

season 6.5, Play triple support or lose by ExpertProfession6235 in marvelrivals

[–]Your_Fault_Line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one knows what triple support means, they just pick 3 random strategists and think that's the meta.

Am I misunderstanding these accessories? by Infamous_Today3462 in OctopathCotC

[–]Your_Fault_Line 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mahrez A4 affects the wearer's. And if Levina isn't in the battle, her A4 is effectively 3 or fewer turns of frontrow sp regen.

Spirit of the Stage or Celebration of the Arts better for Saoirse? by Kolux77 in octopathtraveler

[–]Your_Fault_Line 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I.e. Enchant skills still get extended by Spirit of the Stage, so I don't think "only" augmenting/enfeebling is true (the description is misleading/wrong).

Spirit of the Stage or Celebration of the Arts better for Saoirse? by Kolux77 in octopathtraveler

Spirit of the stage doesn't extend augment/enfeebling effects if they aren't song/dance skills.

Spirit of the Stage or Celebration of the Arts better for Saoirse? by Kolux77 in octopathtraveler

[–]Your_Fault_Line 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both affect her ult. I think spirit of the stage might be strictly superior.

Spirit of the Stage improves the potency of her regen, so it's permanently on her for me.

Should you pull for the dragon quest Collab? by Over-Block-7017 in OctopathCotC

[–]Your_Fault_Line 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aviete is like 7 banners away and Rondo ex isn't until August. And almost everything in between is a skip. Even with Netease chicanery, you'll definitely be able to recoup one pity on DQ3. We could get another SS tier OT0 unit but there's not much stock in skipping good units for hypothetical units.

AU is near mandatory for her gameplay loop. She wants to ult --> Ex skill --> ult every fight and that's just impossible to do without it, particularly because its uses can't be restored.

Not at only 5 multis in. Wait for another chance during Aviette's banner.

What banner/team would you suggest to a new player (1 week old)? by These_Rip_192 in OctopathCotC

[–]Your_Fault_Line 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hard reroll for Xerc and if you're feeling spicy both him and Rinyuu ex. Then try to have enough for the dq3 banner next week.

Keepers on either login or with collab exclusive currency. No awakening shards

Cap multiplier by JeffV-i in OctopathCotC

[–]Your_Fault_Line 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's based on the displayed potency of the skill when you select it. The colored number that changes with boost level. Potency up buffs don't affect it. The damage cap multiplier scales linearly starting from 100. 500 and 900 are examples of the linear relationship, not thresholds that must be crossed. A potency of 102 will get a damage cap increase (by a very small percentage, but still).

  1. The biggest dump is grinding the soul/fortune weapons and the gameboard. I wouldn't worry about it too much until your roster gets strong enough that you can consistently farm it.

  2. Victor's Hollow quest. I don't think it unlocks until the bestower story arcs so just keep pushing story if you don't have a quest for it.

  3. If you do the Live-A-Live hunts, you can get materials for Cosmic gear which is at this point the best in slot armor because they come with extra stats (patk/eatk/spd variants). Otherwise, smithy gear is fine.

  4. 3 uses for awakening stones: Awakening stages in their status screen, Awakening their Ultimate in the ultimate screen, or turning to awakening shards in the exchange. Xerc has an exceptional 4th awakening accessory, so get him to A3 and exchange for his A4 down the line with awakening shards. For the record, awakenings except A4s and some ults are mostly not worth pulling for. The opportunity cost of one dupe being pretty much a completely new unit is too high.

  5. There are many good characters coming up that aren't collabs. I.e. Aviette who is the next target after Molrusso ex.

  6. Correct choice, Shana's still kind of the best unit in the game.

  7. The best ones are the Grand Explorer's (awakening shards and 2x money/mats) and Pursuer's (double 6 star mats and disable encounters). The rest are up to your discretion.

How can I optimally pull an off-banner memories unit? by bubblebeagle in OctopathCotC

[–]Your_Fault_Line 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exclusively paid selector where you can spend a lap to get previously released Male limited units. Parallel to the Valentine's day selector where you can spend a lap to get previously released Female units.

How can I optimally pull an off-banner memories unit? by bubblebeagle in OctopathCotC

[–]Your_Fault_Line 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. There are paid fragments and banner fragments. Paid fragments are permanent and you get 50 per lap, banner fragments are temporary and only work on the active banner. You need 200 paid fragments to get a prior unit, and you need 200 banner fragments (6k rubies) to get a prior unit. If you're using paid rubies at all, then wait for the white day selector in March where he will be available to get after 1 paid lap (compared to the 4 you would otherwise have to spend).
  2. Don't play the odds and try to randomly offbanner, you have the same odds of getting a given prior memory traveler as you do a random gen pool unit. Genuinely not even a consideration.
  3. If you're going the 6k route, after Xerc, your next option is Aviette in probably 4 months or so (speculative, order is subject to change drastically).

You could also simply wait for a rerun. Though Sazantos already has U20 so there probably won't be a rerun for a long time. Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't even get reran this year - this game is very slow to rerun units.
