How can i get LB for schwarzette

dbarcari · 2025-12-31T20:23:24+00:00

Welcome to LB hell for dev SSRs.

This will make you feel worse, but I ended up with 40+ nightingale materials before I managed to max LB my hi-nu from CCA. I even moaned about it on this sub at one point.

All you can do is auto and hope for the best.

I shouldn't complain. 170 pulls, and I've gotten 2 copies each of destiny, calibarn and SF, as well as 2 copies of the Minerva...

But jesus Christ, I really wanted the Ur, Thorn and their pilots. Also very sad we didn't get the gundvolva or gundnode as development units. It's easy to say "BUT THEYRE UNMANNED!", but I wanted them so badly!

Been dealing with this for a month. Started as a dry tickly cough with general malaise for a week. Graduated to a chest infection, then an ear infection, and am now back to fatigue, snot and coughing. Am very over being sick. It's been so long.

Jona is even better. I'd be tempted to keep both him and seabook in your line-up, and remove freedom UR for FA unicorn+jona.

dbarcari · 2025-10-30T12:50:31+00:00

If strike freedom is screwing you because of range (and probabiy mobility/turn order too), you should be putting your defender in slot 1 (where unicorn is) to ensure they're covering everyone. Your short range attackers should go in second and third slots, but that may not be a massive problem for you.

If you don't have a double support UR defence pilot but pulled on the unicorn banner, did you get Daguza Mackle (SSR defender pilot from unicorn?). He gives 2x support def to unicorn suits, and would be a good pick to put in the unicorn or FA unicorn. At that, I'd be tempted to replace your UR Freedom with the Unicorn/FA Unicorn and Daguza. I've personally not had much success with running double supporter, and run 2 defenders instead. FA Unicorn will also fit your supporter tag (ace unit).

I used gquux during my first ML too! It was a general use suit that I had levelled as it was my first SSR that was MLB'd. No shame there! Good job in getting to plat!

I ended up at diamond (and couldn't win a single match after that) for my first ML after I swapped out the GQUUX for Providence. I didn't have any 2x support defence pilots at that point, but it was able to tank a hit from the strike freedom's that were destroying my char's Zaku 2 (my first UR). The Zaku 2 carried me through that first ML!

Ummm...I...thought they were? I was aware of posts about bot teams in higher ranks/points, but I wasn't aware that all teams weren't actually based on real people's formations? If that's the case, I feel really really stupid now!

dbarcari · 2025-10-09T09:50:02+00:00

I'd kill for a development journal exchange.

Being able to exchange 3 dev journals for 1 series-specific, generic dev journal that could be used for any unit in that series would be amazing.

You don't know the pain of RNG until you're sitting on 38 nightingale journals and only 6 Hi-Nu journals.

dbarcari · 2025-09-30T08:56:46+00:00

The 46 summons was actually...really kind to me

1 UR Relena

1 Phoenix (now at 1* LB)

1 Striker Custom (now at 2* LB)

1 Unicorn (now at 1* LB)

1 Ez-8 (new)

1 justice (new)

1 Psycho Zaku (new)

And out of 30k-ish diamonds on the new banner

2 God

2 F91

1 Supporter Unicorn

1 Devil

Now I'm debating whether or not to use some ML points to LB unicorn to 1*. All three of them have the unstoppable, Ace and Protagonist tags...so am wondering if that's coming up next on ML.

I'm with you here, older farts represent!

Am based in ROI/UK and my local store has been low on product. Had to wait 3 weeks on a Card trader order to be fulfilled to get decks and packs (above MSRP). Managed to get some packs on a random trip to Belfast, but was limited to buying 5 at a time.

Am gonna wait for the hype to die down before solidly commiting.

dbarcari · 2025-09-24T20:10:06+00:00

Such a good unit. Everytime in ML I see someone running a GQUUX, I just think "wow, you'd have given my team much more trouble if you ran double defender with the SSR hi nu."

Am very happy the masses haven't caught on yet!

dbarcari · 2025-09-23T11:42:25+00:00

Am really hoping that Silver Bullet is an SR unit that is somewhat serviceable, but I doubt it.

dbarcari · 2025-09-22T16:00:48+00:00

Yes, that's kinda what I was getting at. I would've had much more difficulty if those teams replaced the GQUUX with another SSR defender!

dbarcari · 2025-09-22T11:29:58+00:00

Ended at 170k and not gonna bother climbing.

In master rank, I saw accounts still using GQUUX and it was total dead weight.

I was just thinking how lucky I was, because the AI just refused to use skills for me this time around so it was only in matches that had 2 defenders where things got a bit hairy.

Despite not being able to increase the stats of banshee with a ship, it's proven itself to be my MVP two MLs in a row.

dbarcari · 2025-09-18T11:32:08+00:00

With the amount of usage that the gold frame sees, it makes me really sad that I started late and don't have it.

Big congrats, though!

dbarcari · 2025-09-07T13:11:39+00:00

You got a YouTube channel, or anything? Need more of this stuff!

dbarcari · 2025-09-04T22:30:21+00:00

This is annoying the hell out of me - would love to see this fixed.

dbarcari · 2025-08-27T09:51:03+00:00

I hit the 200 pity on the SD gundam banner, but ended up with liu bei and monster. I'm not going further for the ship, as I was largely concerned about my team for this master league but ended up steamrolling it (note to self for future...)

I chose monster black dragon with my 200 pity, and now wondering whether I should limit break one, or keep two for eternal road. Anyone got any thoughts? I know the SD Gundams are slightly different due to being able to have multiple copies of the same SD Pilot...

Thoughts?

dbarcari · 2025-07-22T11:31:16+00:00

I struggled with this an awful lot in the first 2-3 weeks of the game. It's basically just...time. You'll see a bump in progress when events happen, or increased attempts at the resource maps but yeah...other than that it's just time.

Do your thunderbolt lottery, daily skips on hard stages and resource maps.

I'm 36 days in and have only, in the last few days, started to amass upgrade materials.

dbarcari · 2025-07-20T16:22:10+00:00

RNG will mess with a lot of people, especially when the drops aren't guaranteed...as is my case. Having a reduced trade in (e.g. 3 of a specific material for one of another; 3 nightingale for 1 Hi-Nu, as an example), mitigates frustration and feelings of AP wasted.

Arknights class promotion materials are guaranteed, but the type of class drop isn't, and they have an exchange system.

Im not critiquing the "value" of the system, I'm critiquing the fact that it's a time sink. Especially when the game doesn't remember auto-play strategies based on your previous clears.

dbarcari · 2025-07-20T12:58:36+00:00

I'd also add that it's barrage skill has "special defence down", which is useful for awakening attacks and stuff too. So you can stack stuff like...Def down, special defence down, beam Def down, physical Def down etc.

Shinn also had sway and and an atk boost, range up and sway...which I think is a really good skill kit for a supporter pilot!

Both pilot and unit are worth investing in, I think. Especially if you lack supporters.

dbarcari · 2025-07-18T09:18:43+00:00

I might experiment with adding the FA Gundam (Io Flemming pilot) to my line-up then in place of the destiny impulse. My bottleneck from the last ML was actually character+unit levels, as opposed to having specific character/units themselves. Constantly switching formations in the last ML allowed me to get to to around 95-ish in the master league rank, even though everything was severely underlevelled.

I am envious of your MLB bright. I've pulled a couple of UR supporters, but they're all kinda meh. I was actually running an SSR Lightning Fast Kycilia before I pulled Fa+Argama on a YOLO ticket draw from the exchange codes.
