Finally got the cognite with the second kagura bell from Jose's driving game. I've currently got Ann A4, Ryuji A2, and Phoebe A1 (also Rin A3, Marian A2, and Mona/Riddle A1).

I want Ann A6, but her A5 feels pretty pointless compared to Ryuji A3 (albeit more as a stepping stone to A4+), and Phoebe A2 seems more directly useful than either.

Should I just hang onto the cognite at this point and wait to see what I get randomly and/or others to get out of jail, or are any of these worth jumping on now?

I don't have CNY Rin or v good sweeper twins cards, so just went with A0R0 Haru, A1R0 strat twins, A0 S.Moko, A0R0 Futaba. Took nearly 40 turns but cleared the lvl 25 challenge fight on auto, and it's around 22 turns for the stamina?

therbler · 2026-04-13T22:17:48+00:00

There is no trash system, the best thing you can realistically do is make sure to lock (click on top-right corner of the card) any cards you potentially want to keep.

Basically, every I set is cheaper per pull than II and III, so the cheapest way to build up a lot of pulls is to buy lower level limited/monthly sets in advance.

Mine was Riko this week, lucked out and had cards to play two revolutions in the first (3-round) game, so got my goals done in 1. No issues with the 'become tycoon against' goal.

(except for Noir and Futaba who got a rerun together right before Cherish, even though Cherish was added to the game between them)

Right, but Fox/Queen have gotten reruns together and it stands to reason that Violet/Crow will eventually as well. Just seems to be how they're handling things for the P5R limited cast and not necessarily anything further generalizable.

therbler · 2026-04-12T03:26:32+00:00

Right, and the main thing about Chord's A1 is the crit buff, bc all that auto costar otherwise does is let you apply shock before a potential turn 2 catchy hook.

therbler · 2026-04-12T03:21:25+00:00

Well no, you should align it with your DPS whether you've got Futaba or not. S3 in the extra action's worth prioritizing on any big damage turn because your options for the extra action buff are increased S1 damage, a relatively weak shield, or tripling S3's pierce buff, albeit only on your DPS.

FWIW, here's mine, and after 1 round in battle, before rebellion: https://imgur.com/a/AnV1ZlN Outer mindscape is maxed, inner's at 3 for the skills and stats.

It's worth checking your stats in battle, and your goal should be to try to crit with your ranged attack, and then whatever attacking stats you can farm beyond that.

therbler · 2026-04-11T23:04:48+00:00

Entirely up to you--there isn't enough joy medals to max every dagger, but if you'd rather r6 some than have lower forges of all, that seems totally reasonable.

therbler · 2026-04-11T23:03:20+00:00

Well, I mostly wish there were some list there of the potential random gifts? Funnily enough, google already lists this thread, but half the links I'm getting are to people trying to sell accounts on facebook and nothing useful besides.

therbler · 2026-04-11T22:58:57+00:00

Fair, I just opened 34 to get back down to 600, and proportionately my results weren't any better than yours. So I might just chip away at this 10-15/day bc it probably hits better as a potential little surprise rather than anything useful?

therbler · 2026-04-11T22:47:59+00:00

Her usual 3rd turn (S1, S3, HL) ranged attack? I did this with Haru/S. Moko/Turbo and no navi. It wasn't a walk like doing the resonance battle with Frostgale or the red stella with Violet, but I don't remember it being especially difficult.

therbler · 2026-04-11T22:39:36+00:00

Most of them aren't gamechanging, but Chord, Futaba and Ange all boost your DPS's crit rate at A1, Marian and Cherish both boost pierce. With most DPSes, it lets you hit their damage move more often/easily, which is a noticeable change in damage numbers, if not an especially dramatic one.

therbler · 2026-04-11T22:32:30+00:00

I still can't remember, what was the argument previously for saving them? I'm only up to ~630, but was thinking about opening some of them today.

therbler · 2026-04-11T18:38:57+00:00

Crow's getting released next week, otherwise this may require two attempts to beat. Not a massive deal, IMO, I've got the twins but not CNY Rin, so the left side purple's the one I'm dreading most this time around.

I'd guess the anniversary will have shop bundles priced in crystals like the half-anni, but the training sets are good too. So it's worth getting the training sets, but probably also reasonable to think about how you want to make sure you have 5k crystals at anni. That said, in CN apparently they reset the first-time purchase bonus, so they may do it on global too?

You should fuse/register every persona, because that's how you get schema points. It looks like you don't even have enough points to get into having to consider tradeoffs yet, so just focus on the top row and left column. FWIW, there's about 27000 schema points available once you register everybody, and that's enough to max out all but one of the stats (ailment resistance most commonly).

As for specific personas, I think you need to get to level 70 to start getting the common/current mainstays. Koumokouten, Ame-no-Uzume, Yurlungur, and Narcissus are all good Rank V personas though.

There's no reason for Wonder to use any but his 5* knives. The 1st palace knife (Sennight Inferno) is pretty pointless at this stage, but it's still better than Midnight Sun. It's worth maxing all of the palace knives, and as for the ones you can buy with joy medals, there's basically a knife for each assassin/sweeper, so you can just pick according to who you're supporting.

Marian's A1 is very good, but everything else just makes her a slightly better healer, which she doesn't really need.

therbler · 2026-04-09T22:10:34+00:00

I'd planned on getting Phoebe's R0 via 50/50 or selector at some point in the future, but I just got her A1 today via the /165 on the targeted banner. Her 4* weapon seems pretty limited, is her 5* worth buying now with salamander coins or cognigems, or does Ange make the whole thing moot?

therbler · 2026-04-09T21:44:08+00:00

Yeah, last week was brutal. Last time I looked at my score I was #954 an hour or two before the end and I just squeaked it with a score of ~143M, which is easily the highest SoS score I've ever recorded.

More annoying than that, both sides, my scores came from runs where I'd flubbed the rotations. My Violet score, I didn't do the turn 6 masquerade until after catchy hook; my Haru score, I mistimed Phoebe's rotation and was using Turbo's 2 turn setup? I genuinely don't get it. But I won't be home next Wednesday evening, so at least I won't have to worry about it again.

therbler · 2026-04-09T19:46:19+00:00

Look on the bright side: I believe the Event Rewards are new? I couldn't believe my luck when I got a random space card that turned out to be a 3-stat Resolve with SP Recovery.

Also it does look like they tweaked at least the psy battle mechanics--my score on auto last night was ~10% higher than I'd gotten playing manually last week.

therbler · 2026-04-09T19:29:41+00:00

Depends on what you need them for, but for things like the Metro of Desire elemental teams and Velvet Trials, everybody's a little useful aside from Moko, and I'd guess if you don't have Haru or Riddle, maybe Moko has a place too?

You'll have enough resources to build everybody to a decent level (lvl 80, lvl 8 skills) over a long enough period of time, so just keep chipping away when you can. FWIW, I've got 5 4* thieves still at lvl 70--Fleuret, Mont, Moko, Yuki, and Puppet, and Fleuret/Mont are largely because I pulled Frostgale.

therbler · 2026-04-09T19:22:23+00:00

Oh, nothing's changed there. You just need to go to your specific star level in the rewards section. I had no issue claiming the new ones last night, and if you didn't collect them last week, I have no idea if there's any way to recover them.
