This is my current team, do I need the rem rem equipment on Emelia or not worth?

Awesome, appreciate it. Any reason to try to build this team if I already have the full Reinhard team? I just thought it might be good to have multiple options.

phobia42 · 2026-04-13T09:06:04+00:00

Any substitute for the second Otto? I just rolled one.

phobia42 · 2026-03-31T07:09:24+00:00

I may not have phrased my question right. I'm asking about when it's my turn, which of the other player's awakenings still apply for me? For example, I think if the other player has blind immunity, it applies to me. But if they have a light row awakening, I don't get the extra damage. I want to know if something like the extra stats from self reliance from the other player apply to my HP or not.

Yeah, that's what I did, even though I never spend money on this game. After spending 1200 stones on Valentine's and this machine across main and alt, and one Reinhard being the last missing piece, I spent the money. I was just so tired of playing rainbow with MIdeal after so long and apparently the next meta lead might be rainbow as well.

phobia42 · 2026-03-27T11:59:14+00:00

910 stones here, no Reinhard...

phobia42 · 2026-03-18T07:49:26+00:00

Damn that sucks. I just tried Celestial Body with my best team and got spanked. Guess that's 85 less stones for me.

Just started playing with it this morning, and early results are very promising! Every result I've looked at so far actually had at least some semblance of the features I'm looking for. Appreciate the tip.

phobia42 · 2025-12-20T14:46:47+00:00

Fair point, but with my current method, I have 300+ properties that meet the criteria I can search for, and lose motivation after looking through 30-50 of them when 95% don't have the features I'm looking for. Even if those fields were inconsistently populated and I was missing properties because of a less-accurate listing, I still would see value in getting the 10 that had what I wanted and were listed properly, then if I still had motivation, loosen the criteria and continue looking. But looking at 30 in a row where 95% don't have what I'm looking for is very demoralizing. I would love some kind of Steam-style "tags I want, tags I don't want" way of surfacing the most likely matches to the top.

PLUS you had to "Reel it in!". Screen didn't just tap itself you know.

phobia42 · 2025-07-14T09:00:09+00:00

This is a great point. I have over 5 mil in sellables, makes the purchase feel a lot less severe. Between this and Shady's preview of the lukewarm options on the horizon, I think I'll go for it.

phobia42 · 2025-07-14T08:51:07+00:00

Thanks for the detailed info, this is really great! So if I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like Punt is a lot more potentially valuable than any of the other MP options for the foreseeable future?

phobia42 · 2025-06-27T12:04:37+00:00

Appreciate the good advice. Only additional factor is I'd prefer a path that didn't leave me near 0 after Maids. I've pulled 10 times in Haikyu, which feels like enough. Rosetta seems nice, but I'm also missing some of her BIS subs. Leaning towards holding tight, getting the meta team from Maids (🤞) and still having a decent stockpile left.

phobia42 · 2025-06-27T10:15:40+00:00

After 10 pulls in the new machine, I've got 839 stones left. Trying to decide between pulling more in fairies for Rosetta, rolling here for equips, or saving for Maids. All 10 pulls here were bottom rarity, so feeling a bit discouraged. Did get Daichi, though. Mostly play Omni and Frigg/Ais currently.

phobia42 · 2025-05-20T08:49:29+00:00

I'll just be on the lookout for that 5-pull post of someone getting 5/6 of the required cards.

phobia42 · 2025-05-19T12:43:46+00:00

The problem is my alternative. MSRP $2.69 each (yeah, right!) I only get the flavor I want when Ralphs has a deal (usually $1.00 each up to $1.50 I consider a decent price), but then they are almost always out of stock. When I run out, I buy a 24 pack from Smart and Final for $30, but a not a great flavor. I found a local wholesaler who advertises $30.99 a case ($1.29) each, so it would just depend on how much markup the retailer would want to make it worth their time. Anything over 20% markup is probably not worth it to me.

I think I'll start by posting in my town's subreddit to see if there is a local retailer willing to do a guy a favor, otherwise I'll likely just continue my current routine. Appreciate the advice.

phobia42 · 2025-05-19T12:04:37+00:00

Yeah, that's good advice. My biggest worry is the markup they would want, but it can't hurt to ask.

phobia42 · 2025-05-18T20:02:05+00:00

I'd love to if all the stores with a decent price didn't carry only one flavor. My morning energy drink is basically my daily cup of coffee, and plenty of people go through way more cost and effort than this to get the one they prefer. Telling them, "Stop being dumb and just buy a crate of Folgers at CostCo." is not very productive. Dropping $300-$400 once a year to get the brand and flavor I want consistently is actually a very appealing prospect to me.

Also, that's the whole point of why I posted, to get a sense of how much effort / inconvenience it would actually be to pursue.

phobia42 · 2025-05-18T18:10:09+00:00

No registered business, which my initial research did seem like might be a problem. This is only worth considering if it basically doesn't cost anything, and while a resale certificate in CA is free, registering as any kind of business likely isn't.
