You can click back into it and request aid again after I think 6 minutes. So if it doesn't move, just do that and it will go back to the top of the list for people. I've only had to do that once though

Whenever I do raid I just go from the start and if I die I just temporarily withdraw. Someone will jump in before the end and finish it up and you can go claim the rewards later

I mean nobody says you have to farm everything. If I wanted to be done with just the main stuff, I could have that knocked out by tomorrow and it's not like I played all day. I've played for 2 hours.

You get like 184 stones and 3500 points for getting MVP / Finder / Final Blow on Very Hard raid fwiw

You have to do them to get the items to host raids.

I'm up to 22500 points, not sure on stones because they don't seem to scale and I've spent some. If I had a healer, I could solo Hard and possibly Very Hard. I guess having 2 earth units at 80 helps as everyone else dies whilst they are like indestructible. I don't get too bad points joining other raids but I'm putting up about 45k contribution in Very Hard.

Having a healer is definitely a massive benefit in harder raids. There's a memoria stone that restores health each turn but I think it comes from normal raids so farming one up for everyone would take a lot of time. That might be able to replace a healer down the line.

Raids give a decent amount too.

Probably because Summer Veigue wasn't critting

Also I dislike how the first limited banner is basically a child in a bikini. That is creepy as hell especially as the 3D model has her with more clothes on and looking slightly older. Like why couldn't they have gone with the less creepy option and gone with the 3D model in the 2D art too.

Hit the Aid button during raid and it's somewhere in that menu.

Did 2 summons on the banner. First was a 1 SR / 9 R pull (that shit should be banned). Second was a 1 SSR / 3 SR pull with Summer Veigue. Down to 18.5k stones now so will probably see what the verdict is on Summer Kanonno before pulling more but theoretically she's a good hybrid healer for when healing becomes requires and her Memoria looks good.

Not sure, haven't tried to convert anything that is leveled or ascended but I doubt it.

You can convert memoria into shards. Rare to silver, SR to gold, SSR ro Rainbow. One shard per memoria regardless of rarity.

It's kinda nice just being able to jump into Normal modes and know I'm going to get runner-up or MVP. Hard mode too to an extent. Difference between level ~70 and ~80 seems huge even if the stats aren't. I half wonder if there's something in the formula that accounts for level difference too.

Man, people talking about the stupid Arena AI and I'm just over here auto'ing every Arena fight. I think I have like a 90-92% win rate.

With the substone grid, keep in mind it's better to field 9 of the same weapon type even if it means fielding Rares rather than fielding a mish-mash of SR and SSRs. I still use R's because of this (I can actually only field 4-4-1 in weapon types) but I imagine if you summon a few times this becomes a non issue.

I want to say leveling up your subgrid doesn't make a huge difference since you're only getting 10-15% of their stats however the difference from leveling character up just a little bit is huge and they don't seem to get that much stats on level up. So yeah it's probably worthwhile to level them up.

Keep in mind the half AP cost for other events isn't all at the same time, it's staggered. It's stories one week, power up dungeons the next and then increased gald drops the week after.

That's basically what people have determined now. That tankiness is actually really good for Arena. It's just a shame they didn't give us a way to divert damage towards our tanky characters.

I'd imagine as newer raids get released, tankiness will do better there too. Right now you can just throw damage up against the wall but at some point I'm sure it will be better to aim for survivability

Finally was able to run my AP, BP and Arena tags all dry. Technically I did it last night before I went to sleep too but I was 1 fight away from a level up so was still a pain to run them all dry again first thing this morning.

I do still have AP/BP items to use but it's just good to get everything down so I can step away for a bit.

Summer Kanonno's Memoria could help her. +24OL per turn.

I mean Velvet had quite a few things going for her. Most recent mainline game. Probably the most desirable 'waifu' amongst the SSR selections based on design. Plus she was top of the pre-release tier list for PVP. I'd imagine she ranks high in popularity polls too.

So remember what I said about 'Valkyrie Connect' SSR rates being technically better than this game since it's 20% chance at an SSR but actually way worse because of the diluted pool? Today is a prime example of how shitty they are and I feel compelled to show how shitty they are.

SSR Rate - 20%
SR Rate - 80%

Apocalypse Heroes Banner
Hero 1 - 0.185%
Hero 2 - 0.185%
Hero 3 - 0.001%
Hero 4 - 0.001%
Hero 5 - 0.001%
Hero 6 - 0.001%
Every Standard SSR Hero - 0.280% Each (I.e Heroes that are in every summon pool)
Every standard SSR Gear - 0.119% Each (I.e. Gear that is in every summon pool)

Heroes 1-6 do not appear in any other summon pool at all. This pool only (which happens once a month). So it's not like you have a 0.001% chance to pull them on a normal pull. You have a 0.001% chance to pull them on their featured banner (Basically they debut at 0.185% and then drop to a lower rate when it reappears and they a new hero to it).

What about sparking them with enough pulls? 800 points to spark them. Random amount between 10-30 sparks per multi pull (1 multi pull is about $30 in real money). Oh and when you spark them you don't even get pick which one you want, you get a random one from Hero 1-3. If you want Hero 4-6? Tough shit, you only have the 0.001% rates.

Some of it probably comes down to the selector and rerolls too. When people aren't selecting Earth heroes and aren't aiming for them specifically on rerolls, chances are you're not going to see many of them.

I liked it. But it made the same mistake that other series have of trying to be a "reboot" while also holding on to as many of its old characters as possible and therefore creating a middle ground that would make no one happy, because those who wanted something fresh were forced to stay stuck to the past, and those who liked the past just get annoyed that there's a taste of what they liked, but covered in all the new stuff they don't.

Apollo Justice did the same thing.

Pretty much this.

What tarnished it for me is that original show was wrapped up so well. It's one of the few long running shows that got a fitting / satisfying ending. So to then bring it back, it detracted from the ending for me.

The other thing is semi-linked. Scrubs ending was due to declining funding which is why Season 8 was filmed differently and had each cast member opt out of some episodes to save money. So then to bring it back after axing funding just grated me.

Like you said, if you were bringing it back you basically needed a clean break from the original cast. You could have gotten away with maybe a guest appearance here and there or maybe 1 of them staying around but not as much as they relied on them in season 9. It also detracts from the original show by basically changing the roles of the original cast, that isn't the ending we thought they got.

Honest question have any of you chugged a full pint of 80 proof before cause if that's the case it really gives you about 20 minutes before you're in blackout city

Have done it with Jack Daniels before. Did a full bottle as a bet when I was younger because I was stupid. And yeah I was good for about 15-20 minutes then didn't remember anything after that.

Anyway, this topic seems like a bad idea.
