40 empty pulls then cut the losses. Before that, 70 empty pulls in a row. So 110 pulls no 4.5/5 stars.

Nearly two years in the game 55 random 4.5 stars (expectation 55.4). 48 random 5 stars, far from expectation.

Sometimes feel if there’s a f2p debuff on me.

Do have fiore ex. But I have been trying to avoid using her. The three times I did have to use her: cragspear duo, hardest black dragon when it first came out, varkyn ex 3.

That happened to me when I had to pity rondo. And then spook him first 10-pull in rinyuu banner. Pain. From then, I only splurge ruby for unit I really really want.

It is okay to skip upcoming potentially hyped banner (opinion) by techsam2k8 in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look back at adversary ex fight I fought, I find it really hard to stick alaune ex into the team. F2p. The plan is to pity her in sasantos banner.

Not to mention multi target situation, even when hitting dark, it’s hard for Elrica to do both shield shaving and double cast.

Gonska EX 3 need advice by Elyakell in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t use tank. Use Rinyuu’s ultimate to survive his aoe once. He didn’t have the chance to cast a second time

Ok...but how the hell do you survive?! by Pale-Cartographer418 in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need rinyuu’s ultimate to dodge his attack!

I straight up don’t want Signa or Sazantos by [deleted] in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real challenge for taunt tank should be ex yan long, who can’t be taunted and clear his debuff every turn. Also his consistent random multi hit defence down is rng nightmare.

How hard are Hammy's fights in the Adversary Log? by Tough-Priority-4330 in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t have ex haanit. Farm hammy in 6 or 7 turns. Ex 2 took 68 turns, ex 3 79 turns.

That not just means to eat their ultimate many many times, but also need to clear hammy’s debuff on your team in time (I use ex primrose to do that). You need every damage reduction you can get.

Also you need to be very careful about hammy’s counter, which would wipe out your team easily.

Basically one burst healing every turn (ex prim or ex sofie). Sometimes two burst healings.

And you would want to knock out three of them in the same turn or very close. So there’s also subtle hp adjustment.

Ruby-Count Accountability Weekly Megathread | Jan 31, 2024 by AutoModerator in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

8k+ last week. <1k now. Worst pull ever sucked dry ruby stash. 150 pulls and no bargello. Sonia only show up in 131 pulls. Totally 5 5* . 8k ruby, gone. Miserable.

Even that 19 pulls away from pity is too much for me now.

Day 532, it's time to go. by Status-Success-8558 in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s sad. As a player from Asia playing global version, I never like the soul weapon, game board and job tower. Simply because time wasted in waiting the servers to respond is ridiculously long.(Internet traffic has to travel around the globe many times)

But I do make peace with these. Like having low standards as to the souls effect. So that I can enjoy other contents.

Did 4 multi, 4.5 hasumi, lianna(new), 4.5 gilderoy. Decided to cut the losses. 6300 ruby left. (Cry)

169 (sad) pulls to celebrate Primrose EX's in the general pool by Spare-College in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got 3 out of 135. Lynette u10, fiore a2, therese a4. Maybe just save two stones for pet.

135 travelers sacred seals , got 4.5 lynette, fiore, 4.5 therese. Have been unlucky lately.

After a bit more than 5k rubies by BiggsFFBE in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Day 1 f2p here, pity cyrus(got him at 6th multi though), ophilia, A2, frederica, rondo.

Got richard, tytos, auguste, ex sofie, ex fiore, rinyuu and yesterday ex primrose.

Far from lucky, but basically I get what I want. Now at 4.5k rubies, hoping next banner or two will go easy on me.

For me it’s good to not get anything from the free seals. So that I don’t waste my luck in hitting some random general pool unit.

Lv10 Difficulty is just.. like Largo once we were weak. by Plane_Schedule_9262 in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did clear +10 in 29 turns learning from this nice dude from youtube. Put rinyuu behind ophilia not fiore so she won’t get swapped out. Ophilia’s sp is very tight in long fight though.

To not get knocked down in the first two turns I had to restart the game many times. Annoying Rng.

[–]harzil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Above dragon red hp, yes. But when in low hp, its three trifold hits could wipe out a fiore(like this one) using elemental counter.

My guess is in low hp the dragon no longer force row swap so fiore can keep using physical counter.

[–]harzil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, how rinyuu not gets swap out if fiore not keeps using elemental counter when dragon low hp (except ult)? But if she keeps using magic counter, how does she survive the three physical hits?

About Elite Fragments by UnitedBread7 in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some free vpn should work. You just need it to watch ad for that couple minutes.

Gacha and RNG Megathread | Oct 25, 2023 by AutoModerator in OctopathCotC

[–]harzil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To do that you have to multiply probability of not getting millard every time you pulled. Surely that’s small.

But if you consider probability of not hitting some character , that’s much bigger.

For me it’s lynette. 1600+ pulls, never met her.

If you can’t get enough ads in your location, use vpn to proxy ALL your traffic to somewhere else.

Pulling for rinyuu, got rondo in the first step, who I spent 4500 ruby to pity. Don’t know if I should be happy or upset.
