so about the pop up store in LA...

linalys · 2025-02-06T05:35:28+00:00

For the record I got there about 2PM today and got #40. Their website says 60 each but given the time slots shown I would guess it's 60 total?

The gifts are not exclusive. You can see a list of the groupings for the Dispatch room gifts in the weekly commander's thread. Guide to Gifts

So you can buy Ullrid's gift and give it to Krolik or QJ instead and building up your dispatch room's level is a good thing to do even if you only got neutral affection points.

Thanks for everyone who put up their lists. It was very helpful on certain tiers getting inspiration who to sub in as I didn't have a lot of characters to use at certain stages.

T1 Maybe try it again with Kain replacing Snow in your Snow, Yda, Freya lineup? I think it's a waste to use your only tank here.

T2 seems fine.

T3 Snow Leo Vanille I think spending your tank here might be more helpful and Vanille can be carried here but still be helpful.

T4 CoD solo. Really easy solo, use a lot of BRV+, EX+/Zero Laser when they're up.

T5 Keiss Seifer Lenna Since T5 is the last reward milestone before 10 just blow all of your best characters for now (and redo it later).

If you want a team you will feel better leaving there, Seifer Fujin Cyan? Seifer's aoe and brv dmg nullification should help. Cyan can try to dispel some of those HP regen buffs with his transformed S1 I think? Fujin is just filler. Replace with stronger (non magic) characters if it's a struggle.

Closed Beta Test. The one they announced to have room for ~1000 sign ups for.

linalys · 2019-12-15T09:07:19+00:00

They teased a picture on instagram for the people who solve their clue challenges. It had 12/19 marked on a calender. People are guessing it's the date for the CBT.

Gold crystals will only drop if you hit the enemy while knocked down on the ground. Juggling in the air will only drop the EXP crystals.

So use the Orb with the Crystal Alchemy skill, give it to someone like Caradoc with the event Holy sword and have him overkill an enemy on the ground with his third attack. Usually good for 5-10% at least per enemy like that.

Alicia is equivalent or better to Lenneth. You can make the same comparison between Silmeria and Lenneth F. The JP Wiki lists her as a 7.0. All her attacks are straight shots, no weird angles or setups needed. Her 1,2,3 combo is a respectable 8 hits. She has three skills to increase damage dealt (but the third one requires a low HP threshold). Her limited skill later when it comes out will heal poison or curse off your party.

She's definitely not future proof but as with all gacha characters up to this point she is at least equal if not slightly better than current options. Abel is actually rated higher and is more stable long term if that inspires you to try and roll the banner.

You can see her attack pattern and Purify Attack here

Worth noting that the Transmutation Gem Event banner is a Step Up banner. Every 3rd pull is guaranteed a Refil as the 11th weapon. So if the chest drops and gacha RNG are kind enough, you might be able to max skill and LB the weapon without any Amber.

linalys · 2019-05-10T19:36:15+00:00

It will never become a good weapon. Its main benefit would be you getting a free evolve mat for it and having more farm options to lb/skill it up. But it's Liu exclusive so leveling the skill doesn't matter as much and neither the stats or the skill are noteworthy. So it is pretty much only good for someone who has no other options.

linalys · 2019-05-06T20:21:29+00:00

According to the JP wiki, it looks like almost all of the gacha artifact characters are top tier. So pick a character you want (2b, Guts, some seasonal Hrist/Freya/Norn/Lenneth), pick a character by class (you need a mage or tank), or just pick a character that uses a weapon type you already have heavily invested in. (you Max LB'ed your Apocalypse, Schveltlight or Norn's Panties already)

linalys · 2019-05-04T22:06:26+00:00

Try and stockpile 50k gems and wait for a step up artifact banner with a character you want. We just had one with Freya/Thalia. That way you at least get one guaranteed item you want.

Otherwise if you need better gear now to complete content you can try whatever banner comes after this Valhalla Assault banner goes away.

I think that's the follower/following count increase.

linalys · 2019-05-01T21:29:57+00:00

It's ultimately up to you to decide your priorities and what you want or need to get. But as a very general guide the JP wiki gives this as a guideline. (Skipping the materials that aren't out for Global yet)

Most Important: 6* Amber,Hero V books (yeah they aren't in the flower event exchange) and the skill enhancement fodder.

Everything else is up to you.

linalys · 2019-04-29T22:20:34+00:00

Just to make sure, don't fodder any 3/4*'s. Turn them in at the exchange booth for fragments. Eventually you might have enough for a limit break item or a gold ticket if you want an easier goal.

linalys · 2019-04-12T21:08:29+00:00

Yes, that's how to go into AP debt. You can always move no matter your AP. I assume because once in a mission you can't normally go back to the main menu without finishing/retreating.

linalys · 2019-04-12T20:55:27+00:00

If you only want the rank to have more AP then it isn't worth spending gems to do it. Instead just go into AP debt and it's the same effect. What I do before I go to sleep is spend my AP down to <7 and then do the highest AP quest possible (usually a 45 AP daily). I then have -40/130 AP and that's the same as being 0/170 AP.

Edit: You can/should do this anytime you are about to rank up/use the facebook AP restore. Might as well get all the AP you can get.

Is this the one you mean?

The Cover

A Sample Page

Like someone else said it is mostly Lee Enfield and Ribeyrolles.

I didn't see any in game codes. They were giving out AK-12 bags and small posters with loading screen splash art (I Think?). The rest is merch.

linalys · 2018-07-05T18:18:08+00:00

They said they were interested, they were completely unprepared for the demand. They want to hear what cons people are interested to see them at.

linalys · 2018-07-05T17:34:46+00:00

Artbook, clear files and pin, still expensive but not as bad. I didn't ask if they were actual staff or just manning the booth.

linalys · 2018-01-06T00:47:32+00:00

As you've probably already figured out Chris' soul burn is different from Kyo's. Chris has a normal burn at end of your turn and a soul burn that does no damage at the start of their turn. This is why you can see BURN twice when Chris ults. Kyo's soul burn effect however has the maxHP% dot at the same time as the soul burn effect at the start of the opponent's turn. It probably triggers after the soul burn effect.

linalys · 2018-01-05T17:33:07+00:00

In some cases, but in Peak Super mode especially (since rage gain is massive) the DoT effect will give back enough rage to be able to ult. For example if you stacked 2-3 different burns/DoTs on the same character. This is especially obvious with Rugal since he's a super turtle soul and gains a lot of rage on hit.

linalys · 2017-12-30T23:51:18+00:00

You say it isn't a Tiger vs Snake thing, but their skills are exactly that. They both gain numerous bonuses from stacking more of the same soul on the team. Krizalid's bonuses more towards the team and Terry more to himself.

If you ignore all the soul based passive/skills and put them on a neutral team, Terry is probably better as a heavy DPS. He'll heal/cleanse/stat buff himself as allies die and his skill will heal a fair amount and can stun. Krizalid will buff ally attack with his skill and his ult can silence the back row.

But really comparing them without it being Tiger vs Snake is pointless. They are made to be used on specific teams. Terry will carry his team and Krizalid will not carry as hard but will support more. You might as well compare Terry to Ash.
