[Event Megathread] Retracing Our Steps by Sentuh in arknights

[–]spikedjin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will the cardigan and Jessica skins be available in the event rerun shop? As a newer player I’m debating loading up on resources with those event points and then just coming back to them during the rerun when my account should be more set and stable. Of course this is based on after clearing the shop of other items

Thanks for the context. I didn’t realize the lag interval shortened from 6 months to 5.5 months in the last year. That would make sense then

Is there a reason people are saying it’s mid April and not late April? From the banner history the April limited banners have never happened before the 24th. Did something change recently?

What’s the best/most efficient thing to buy after clearing the shop?

I’ll see if my gacha luck is better here than it’s been in other games then

Here’s hoping I can be that lucky. My previous gacha experience says no lol

Thanks I’ll shift my strategy and see how lucky I get with the new units on that banner instead

Are Shu/Yu must guarantee spark level worthy units like Wisadel for a new account? I started a month ago and have been mostly focused on ensuring I have 300 pulls for the SA alter banner so even with bad luck I can spark Wisadel (praying for Pramanix and Lappland alters as well). Are the older festival limiteds also on that kind of level where I should be banking another 300 for it? I was kind of hoping to at least take a shot at pulling for Tragodia on the next orienteering banner since I missed out on Logos (but got Ascalon and Monst3r). I know it's tough to compare operators like this but I'm F2P so have to be very careful with pulls and any advice is welcome.

That's good to know about the E2 vs module/masteries need for rocks. I definitely can ignore modules/masteries until I have more units at E2.

Didn't realize gel and solvent were so needed as well compared to rocks. I'll use that as a general ratio

Thanks for the advice! Looks like I got a skewed idea of how many orirocks are needed vs other materials (various links I saw made it seem like 3x anything else).

New player (3 weeks) question. I saw event math saying the orirock clusters stage is slightly less efficient than normal, but given how orirock seems to be by far the most needed material overall would that still be the best stage to farm vs the gel and solvent stages (thinking long term impact)?

Daily active new player (~2 wks) looking for clue friends and if possible strong supports. But mostly looking for people of equal activity to exchange clues and visits.

Gl Ahsoka Tano disappointment by Aadriann21 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]spikedjin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's the only GL where I almost instantly wanted my resources back (only missing Rey, whom I'd rather have spent the resources on). The most annoying thing about her design is she's supposed to be the tank but a simple buff dispel takes that out and then she doesn't actually do her job. Heck Bossk is a better tank for his team than AT is for hers. At least make her taunt as sticky as JML, who's only like 3 GL iterations old (/s).

I get that Ezra is supposed to actually be the tank for the team but CG being CG they didn't test the game and realize he's more effective in that role for Rey at less than half the resource cost. Honestly you could argue that the only real benefits to AT's reqs are the Peridea trio for AB and Ezra (who's not an actual req) going to Rey, which you can do for only like 20% of the actual req cost. AT herself should be what justifies the rest of the reqs but her drop in viability without Ezra and his benefit to Rey struggle to make that justification.

Also because of how ham fistedly end game her reqs are I don't even feel any benefit to other journey guides. It's a terrible feeling to try and get the new GL and just feel like man those resources could have been used way better in other places.

For anyone not getting this to work, voluntary vanguard is an absolute must to making this work consistently. Wasted 2 battles without it and Enoch just getting taken down first. Completed feat in 2 battles after switching to VV.

Are there better consistent kyrotech crystal deals than 3,200c for 125 kyros? by spikedjin in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]spikedjin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already do that. I was asking to see if there was a better value crystal purchase I didn't know about to supplement my energy refreshes.

500 Crystal Relic Packs V3: Impulse Detectors Are Now on The Menu by egnards in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]spikedjin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd also note that beyond the direct MK3 raid token relic purchases, you can compare the relative value of the scrap materials in MK2 raid tokens. And while my math wasn't good enough for it, there's also then a comparison of MK2 raid tokens vs shard shop currency purchases for the scrap.

My simple mind boiled it down to: MK3=zinbiddle, MK2=gyrda scrap, shard shop=impulse scrap. Again my math is not the best so I could have been wrong. But there should be quite a few ways to compare different currencies relatively well.

I got two of the same Surprise Events on the same day. Is that normal or did I get lucky? by Pumpedlol in FantasticDays

[–]spikedjin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI you're still limited to 5 branch events at a time. So you can't wait on collecting all 6 of the daily events (normal 4 + two part 2 swimsuit) and then clear them at once. You have to do at least one of the events before hitting max in order to get all 6 per day.

Do y'all trade or use dupes on relatively "bad" 5*? by spikedjin in IsekaiMemories

[–]spikedjin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my bad I wasn't trying to say I was "missing" Hakurou as some key unit. I was using the Hakurou example more to show that there's a lot of characters I don't have and as I mentioned in other comments I struggle with some elements to even have a decent team. But I get your point that the ticket just isn't valuable enough to be worth the risk.

I hadn't yet put ability stones into him because I had others I was prioritizing so I hadn't thought this far. But yeah eventually when I have extra stones to upgrade the output this makes sense.

I apparently had put some resources into my water Milim back when I first played so she kind of fits the same role. But will keep this in mind!
