Haven't had a chance to flex my gacha pun game in a while.

I'll try to get a spreadsheet of users/friend codes together a bit later today.

It's not like there's am imbalance against Earth SSRs in the game. I just chalk it up to collective bad luck for the guild.

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.

Exchange your Arena Tokens for Arena Tickets

100 Arena Tokens = 1 Arena Summons Ticket... capped at 10 per month, then they're 1,000 medals per ticket

I encountered 1 of these in the Arena and he seemed absurd. What's he from?

I pulled him with my first arena ticket. It is slightly weird to go into fights with three (relatively) normal looking people plus a floating cat man with blades on his arms surrounded by sparkly flying balls.

My last like 10 arena matches all had Yuri in them

of course I'm in E Rank but still he probably got the most casual SSR selections after Velvet I'm guessing (or maybe even more)

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.

Hey now, of the free SSR pull Velvet is who I WANTED, her being meta is just a happy coincidence, had there been an SSR Magilou, Eleanor, or Jade I would have gone for one of them!

If an SSR Magilou shows up on a banner I unfortunately will spend real money until I get her.

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.

My only problem with Velvet is it takes sooooo long to get her MA off. 270 OL! If she gets focused down it's curtains.

Of course, her Hell's Claw by itself does more damage than a lot of other characters MAs <_<

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.

I think Velvet is a little less amazing than her usage implies. People in every meta of every game are attracted by big damage numbers but she has several glaring flaws. Tankiness especially is being really undervalued by the current meta.

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

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.

Coming across full SSR teams of all level 80s-90s on Arena at like rank 3000

Thankfully smart play with tanky chars can still beat that.
