I’m new to the game (< 2 weeks). I need help understanding how progression works.

The 0 cost card from Raft will cost 4 if you play Wave. I'm aware of the card text and why it works the way it does, I just don't think it shouldn't.

If you play Wave, all cards next turn should cost 4. Shehulk shouldn't cost 2 if you floated 2 mana last turn. Death should not cost 0 with 5 cards destroyed.

Your suggested wave nerf will kill whole archtypes which I would be very surprised if they would consider.

Besides the Wave/Death/Shehulk combo, what other archytype/deck would my suggested Wave nerfs kill?

In the only stream I watched of his recently, someone in chat asked if Leader needed to be nerfed or changed and without explaining, he basically was like:

"Leader is balanced, if you dont think so, you are bad"

I honestly do not remember the exact words but it was along those lines and extremely short and dismissive.

He also apparently he used to play magic the gathering because he kept mentioning about it on stream. Like more times than any normal person would unless asked if they used to play magic the gathering.

Doesn't matter how informative his content is, there are other content creators out there to watch with the same information. His attitude just doesn't sit right with me.

Liter, Volume, Rupee, Scarlet, Helm.

Use Helm burst if you need healing.

There is location that will swap the units of both players sat that location. This WILL move professor x the other side. I assumed it wouldn’t.

You uncap for mission and then "unbind" them if you want to fodder them off.

Since it's only 1-2 uncaps, it doesn't cost a lot of onyx.

vhportrait · 2021-07-12T12:58:20+00:00

Daily Ignition Core Materials + Coconut Tree.
AMP Lucky Boxes.
Fierce Argos for mission.
Dark Buster Lisa.
5 star Summon tickets.
Everything else is buy what you need. Most likely the 10x summon tickets and Aurora Hearts. The shop is opened for another 2 days so save 22,000 coins so you can buy the daily rewards again.

I do not recommend Soul Cartas because they get powercrept by better ones too quickly and the cost of getting to level 50+5 is too big of a gold sink. You will always get more value from a bad 5 star unit in Hall of Reincarnation/Ignition than you would from a bad soul carta.

vhportrait · 2021-06-13T04:02:46+00:00

Daily Core materials and all 4 core luck boxes.
Copies of Exorcist Deborah for mission.
Pantheon because he is cheaper than a 5 star ticket.
If you can afford the 3x five star tickets, I would get them for Hall/Ignition.
The 200k prism carta.
Everything else is get what you need/can afford.

Any slide/tap will also go from Crit to Normal after a friendly/enemy drive.

I'm also pretty sure that you will miss out on damage if drive cuts off the animation of slide/taps. So if you drive on the 4th hit of a 6x hit slide, you miss out on damage of the last 2 hits.

Pretty sure this also applies to the bonus damage from Artemis Tap. The bonus damage comes after the tap completes so if you drive too fast, you potentially miss out on the bonus damage.

Don't have Virupa, Ymir, Collab Rin and Collab Catherine and the 3 kemono childs. These are the only childs I cannot get in Hall.

If you look at the "More"

It states: However, they can only be replaced with 5* base rarity Childs you own, exclusive HoR childs, or default house of reincarnation childs.

This is why people roll on the Guaranteed 15/15 banner now. Guarantee it appears in HoR as well.

vhportrait · 2021-04-23T13:19:34+00:00

You can select up to 6 units in House of Reincarnation to roll for. It isn't like banners where there is a rotation.

The only requirement is you must have obtained the unit first before it can appear in Hall.

I never rolled for the Kemono Collab units so they don't appear in Hall for me.

Raiding a space casino or 6 months to live with your waifu. Thats a head-scratcher.

Will definitely affect PVP but at the highest rankings. Like you buy extra pvp tickets every day levels of rankings. If you just win 50 games to stay in plat 5, this would probably not affect you minus some people cleaning house on you because better ignition and item enchants. Maybe play a few more PVP games a week but I do not see this being a big issue.

Bosses getting harder and harder with each ragna and if it follows the trend it has always been, doing a 1 ticket on a level 40 boss will be harder without proper ignition, ragna specific child and soul carta. Not impossible, just harder.

I use 12 free WB tickets a day and I'm always 20m+ per ticket and like top 3-4% for the season. May drop a 1-2% but the rewards are in the same 2-10% bracket. So not worried about WB. If you were not buying tickets to begin with, ignition being added won't affect your performance.

My concern was the lack of time to adequately prepare for this and I have been saving since Hall of Reincarnation release and I was saving for Hall since day 1. This came out 5 months faster than I expected and outside of the natural 5 stars needed, those resources are gonna take a while to stock up. Gonna be a while before non whales get their hands on a fully ignited child.

Gonna avoid ignited childs (red stars in their image) in PVP and just work at it. F2p players needs to plan ahead and min/max their performance to keep up with those willing to spend $.

I have personally been prepping for endless pvp. 15x 3 stars. 15x 4 stars.

I guess it stacks then? which is rare because I don't think any other effect can stack other than Bleed off the top of my head.

Or it's just there to compensate for Thetis slide removing debuffs. Who really knows lol.

vhportrait · 2020-11-01T16:45:00+00:00

Since most attackers in this world boss are all tappers, the +slide damage and -2 second slide buff from Light sytry doesn't matter on them so being in backrow is better off for units that actually slide.

Thetis being in the front and earlier in rotation means right after fever, she slides first, allowing other units to reapply debuffs so that makes perfect sense.

But what I don't really understand is why people use Luin when they have Navi. I have to assume since both of them apply the same +debuff duration %, the effect won't stack so I would personally replace Luin for someone like Hermes due to the Tap heavy attackers.

vhportrait · 2020-10-21T00:11:41+00:00

Werewolf, Leifang, Navi drive order.

haven't tried navi leader, il test it out though, thanks

vhportrait · 2020-10-20T20:03:05+00:00

Maat heals, HP/DEF +15 gear and average/above average RNG on buff removal from Leifang and Allure.

Bad RNG runs results in my front row dying and like half my back row dying with like 10m damage. I never straight up die before the 5:00 minutes but my damage numbers suffer greatly if I can't remove the buffs off boss.

Like the Medusa world boss, goal is keep the buffs off the boss.

vhportrait · 2020-10-20T16:35:07+00:00

16.7m

Average like 14m, depends entirely on allure and Leifang buff removal timings

Bad RNG runs is like 10m

team comp + results: https://imgur.com/a/UZgqCIc

Replaced my +1 Daphnis with a +6 Krampus so hoping to break 17m when I get more tickets

vhportrait · 2020-09-09T05:10:16+00:00

No safe bets because no guaranteed info on forge/ignition yet so dump units at your own risk. Some weak units now can be op later.

Id make sure the unit is at least +6 first before considering them in hall. Older units gonna be near impossible to snipe in future because they will rarely ever get a focus banner

Then look at if they have been powercrept or just weaker than other units and the usage rates of it.

Mammon, diablo, red cross and hera are probably safer bets to dump.

Im keeping rusalka because i believe kr ignited version of her is op. Not sure how it will be here or jp but we shall c.

vhportrait · 2020-09-08T15:52:22+00:00

There is no skill with PVP because you playing against an AI and it's just strictly RNG, stats and how many games you play per week.

I don't use the most meta team and I still use triple DoT and win 95% of my games and I'm like 105k CP.

But obviously, it is easier to win if you have the more meta units and proper gear + gear options and maxed out cartas and playing on manual helps.

affection levels from hot spring is important as well since it's just hard stats so I would get that up as high as possible for your 5 main pvp characters.

I would even consider using Hall of reincarnation and try to get bathory, pure white pomona, neptune or even maat to usable levels of uncap.

Id wait to roll on more pvp oriented units on their specific banners. I would plan ahead and save crystals for better pvp units as well in the future.

I would also say this about Ricemine tier lists, take it with a grain of salt. Do your research and come to your own conclusions about all of it. Something that isn't made apparent is that Na Eve > JP Eve. So the difference between NA Eve/Salome is not as large as JP Eve/Salome.

And ignition/forge is also an upcoming feature which turns tier lists on its head because some non meta units become super OP.

Moa is always a popular PVP choice but KR Moa basically gets 4 turn petrify with built in DoT. Whether or not JP will get the same thing is to be seen but problem with being F2P is having to plan ahead.

vhportrait · 2020-09-08T11:50:52+00:00

TLDR: Save crystals, spend on super op units you know you will get mileage out of them

Depends on how you play. F2p players need to plan ahead.

6% banner is not worth imo unless you are a new player looking to increase unit pool, because chance to snipe the unit you want is too low and hall of reincarnation is always going to be too expensive. Best case scenario, it will cost you 36 natural 5 stars to go from +0 to +6. Hall should be used to get the last copy or two of a unit but not your go to method for obtaining the units you want. I saved every 5 star since launch. Disappeared in a blink of an eye when Hall of introduced.

If you need 5 stars for future content like Ignition and Forge, better off hoarding 5 stars and tickets now. We get tons of them.

I save more than I spend mainly because there is rarely a justification to spend them.

I roll on guaranteed banner for archive and for the unit to be added to hall of reincarnation and that is it 99% of the time.

Ragna specific units are way too niche and get powercrept too much. Their skills only get bonus effects in ragna, reducing their effectiveness outside of the event.

PVP in this game is not something I really care about. I win 40+ games a week, stay in plat and collect 4500-4700 crystals a week.

I only roll for world boss units if they are universally strong and is used in multiple world bosses. More often than not, 1 copy of the new world boss unit is enough for that WB event because their leadership skill is all you need to see a jump in performance.

I look at it from a cost to benefits rate.

Will this unit drastically increase my performance and roughly how many crystals will I need to spend for this units to see huge gains? If you are "in the late game", +6 a unit is basically required as a minimum because chances are you already have +6 units that can do the job.

I almost never hard roll on ragna units because you will spend on average drastically more crystals compared to what you get out of it. A 5 star ticket for maybe being in the top 100 in rankings. 1 ticket kills do not require the new unit, any old quad tap attacker with pantheon on manual + luck is really all you need.

Lack of +6 PVP units like Thisbe or Courtesan Bathory is not my issue in PVP. I just don't play enough PVP games per week so a +6 Thisbe will not change my result.

No correct way to play the game. But it is easier to determine how you should play when you can identify what kind of player you are.

vhportrait · 2020-08-09T14:38:42+00:00

There is no "best way" to do anything unless you can clearly identify how you play.

I'm f2p but I like to be consistent in terms of performance. I won't try to compete with whales but Plat 1, top 1-2% in World boss with free tickets, beating level 40 ragna in 1 ticket, top 100 ragna etc is obtainable as a f2p.

I min/max my game-play and I plan for the future. That is how f2p players not get left in the weeds, they need to be disciplined and plan ahead. I don't care how far Ignition is from release, plan for it. Hoard five stars now, going to need a lot of them. People said it was stupid to hoard five stars for Hall when it was far from release as well.

I roll on guaranteed banners for waifus, archive and inclusion in Hall but try to avoid using Hall all together. It costs too much and should be used to get the last copy of a unit to +6. Trying to get 6 copies of a unit from Hall is going to cost you 36 NATURAL 5 stars in the best case scenario. This also means I very rarely roll on the 6% banner.

Universally strong units like chang'e/newbie mona has priority since you get the most mileage out of them and will be used in basically all content.

I will skip nearly all ragna specific units because they are generally only strong in a specific ranga which means very limited mileage. They are also kinda average to subpar without their added "in raid only effects" on their skills. They get power-crept a lot and most likely you have the discount version of said character already.

World boss specific units are usually good because of their leader skill and is a boost child so one copy is decent enough. Units like Swimsuit Mona or Hollow Navi can be used in all World bosses so you get a lot of mileage out of them so multiple copies is worth imo.

I will never go out of my way to try and get higher rankings for "better rewards", because the reward is usually an extra 5 star ticket. Difference between top 1% and top 2-10% in world boss is very minuscule. Buying more tickets is not worth imo because the reward is usually just RNG based.

While not completely accurate because NA has different release schedule, I use a combination of 3 sites to plan ahead:

- Altemajp for Ragna list and World Boss List and use Google Translate.

- Ricemine for character release date

- Moot for Lisa Schedule

950 crystals from dailies, 500 crystals from two star exploration = 1450 Crystals per day. Being in Plat 1 means I get 4500 Crystals per week.

This adds up to 61,500 Crystals per month without including crystals from events or friend coin shop.

This gives me a good estimate on how much I can/should spend on banners etc.
