how hard is it if i only have Jeanne, Sima Yi, and Camilla above 50?

i know supports have been carrying me but i'm assuming there will be a point where they can't

It's a post-Fuyuki event which means it's meant for everyone, new and veteran. Farm for the damage up CE's and put them on your main attackers. Event damage CE's are meant to help new players hit stupid numbers and are there just for fun for longtime players.
Also, gamepress has a step by step guide to clear every event

I've just been throwing on the CEs that give me massive boosts to NP at battle start... no idea whether it's got damage or hp boost

https://gamepress.gg/grandorder/craft-essences/midsummer-memories

This is the damage up ce you want tp buy from the event shop. One copy will double the damage you do. MLB will triple the damage.

gotcha, i'll grind out that one

Is there any indication on which units will be worth pulling for? Been running Roland and Lougus mainly, so I'm definitely in need of someone to fill that 3rd spot, at least until I can get SM Theria from the guaranteed banner (whenever that might be).

We don't know what the kit is going to look like with Violet or Crow yet, so it's difficult to say.

So far it seems like Morgana might be a good choice because of his healing capabilities.

Been hearing that a lot. Might build her up after I'm done gearing my current team. I really hate this game's gear system. Randomized stat boosts suck, and you don't get nearly enough of the upgrade materials, even after selling unused gear.

I'm throwing Riesz' gear on her lmao.

This gear system is basically Genshin's artifact down pat. And I thought I wanted to stay away from it. -_-

Impulse downloaded beat wars escalation heroines or something like that I already forgot the name lol it's some kind of hentai gacha

Welp. I folded and got Luna and her weapon. Down to a little under 5K cards now lol. That damn trial section is what sold me. Plus it never hurts to have more people for Pain Cage since right now my only leveled guys are Alpha, Rosetta, Bianca Veritas, and Liv. Vera, Kamui, and Lucia Plume are level 80 but their builds are sort of haphazardly thrown together lol

Speaking of which, what memories should I give Luna?

AS planning something big for its first anniversary I think? Free 6* and will feature a limited banner for Reinhardt, the dictator chick that runs Illumina, which is where Vice and Philyshy etc originates. She's shown battling Forsakin, who's this ex-Illumina Aurorian turned Eclipsite general, who was behind a bunch of things like Sinsa's little sister Eve getting experimented on as well as the one who developed the pill that turns Aurorians into Eclipsite in the first place. Also the one who was turning Schummer into an even more Eclipsite-y thing til she broke down and got eaten. Anyways, she betrayed Illumina, so the higher ups have been wanting revenge on her for ages.

Reinhardt has also been shown to have this like ends justify the means type personality and was open to shit like Aurorians being turned to Eclipsite. In fact she was the one who ordered Forsakin to research it in the first place, only for Forsakin to ditch Illumina and take her research to the Eclipsites. So Reinhardt's not exactly a good guy either, and the Navigator hates her, having already cleaned up after her mess in a side story and then being told off for being naive.

Anyways, they set up the "Book 2" of the main story pretty well, with all the motives already established with plenty of mystery still left to be uncovered. They also teased like 7? great Eclipsite generals, one of which was Forsakin, and they're all sentient and powerful like her.

I'm hoping Vice comes into the story more, cuz she's been missing due to training or having a spat with the Navi for the last 2 side stories. In the summer story, she was shown to be harboring deep seated jealousy of Navi for being born with the ability to ride Eclipsites when she had to work for it. There's definitely way more to her character than it seems, but at the very least she's kinda into the dude despite being mostly sexless due to being a complete nerd. She's also a big Illumina and Reinhardt simp, so it's possible Navi and she might be at odds again.

Well, at least Luna performs well enough to justify the expense. You have plenty of weeks left until the Nier collab to restock your Black Cards as much as possible.

The best build for Luna would be four Flamel on the bottom row (one in any top row slot) and 2 Darwins on the top row. Her signature weapon doesn't really bring you anything special except more damage and you can just farm for her 5* weapon as it's plenty serviceable. You can also get her signature weapon sometime in the future as it's not going anywhere and weapons never get time-limited rate-ups.

Solar Ring (5*): Full damage increases by 15% for 8s if 3 signal orbs in different colors are pinged in 6s.
Ozma (6* signature): Dark damage increases by 15%, and the 4th spine of Annihilation Orb will produce an additional 100% of ranged Dark DMG.

She's plenty good at S rank but farming Pain Cage skulls to boost her to SS rank is an option that gives a nice little bonus to her damage.

Flamel is Luna's exclusive memory set that's in the event shop under the Latest tab. I would advise farming memory duplicates to resonate her equipped memories so you can Ultima Awaken her. She's a rather orb-hungry girl and starting a stage with 3 more in her pocket helps a ton.

Here's my Luna at present:

I saw that one at Nutaku and did a double-take.

I was already familiar with Beat Angel Escalayer due to certain ...scenes... but I can't say I was ever expecting it to get a mobile game, lol.

I gave up already it's censored and the game isn't fun. I actually really like that treasure chest thing they do, though. I'd fucking play a game that was just that.

Yikes, don't even need to say anything else, fucking dead on arrival.

Priconne global CB stuff:
I found two google docs for this upcoming CB. The first one is a TL for manual try-hard play, for anyone who wants to go for big numbers:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQm41y8uLWZYM8gVglE0h-HbHYFWEVOTjmpIdyOLSSLLVVv7aHHqI7Tlo2ZBwJJfN7_do3zADQzvI5_/pubhtml#

For those of us who prefer being lazy, here's one with auto-battle comps that is linked in the above doc:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQyz47Tph_6UVHKGtCiflCh8gxh7ZIw2W-UlwvL9PMEzluIAZ4Z51TZj0t_H5FvO_L9349iF5lMGVuF/pubhtml#

I did forget to mention one important detail about playing Luna. When you enter her core passive state, Annihilation Mode, there's no recovery or separation between basic attacks and skills. That means you can spam both at the same time to maximize her damage output in that state and end it with her ult. To make the most of it, only enter Annihilation Mode when the gauge at the bottom of the screen is full so you get the most of those special orbs.

Ooooo mash spam lol.

Also, thinking of trying Cookie Run Kingdom again. I dropped it because they didnt give much in terms of starting pulls so rerolling was a pain. I think just a single 10 pull :<

And to make room, I might give up PriConne because of its ass drop rates combined with the daily reset time. Ill see though; if RNGesus decides that he wants me to stay, Ill get Emilia on this last 10 pull

I've tried to try Cookin Run Kingdom like thrice. It refused to work with Bluestacks so I guess I'm not playing it.

Looking for wind dmg gear.
Gets earth dmg.

Man.

i'm getting my ass kicked in FGO now and i don't have any upgrade mats anymore. Hakusei or whatever is max ascended but not fully leveled, my rider and my assassin get their shit kicked in repeatedly. Summons have been hard carrying but i'm at a point now where they die in battle 2/3 half the time

Ohhhh snap

In AS, A new version of Vice (a 6* unit now) will join you when you start the Book 2 of the story.

A terrible Binah extreme clear left me at #804 or something. I'll be left behind if I can't continue to clear extreme consistently, so hopefully that wasn't a fluke...

Vice has Maiden powers lol

OMFG after a billion tries I finally got an S on Bravers Arise level 5. Angela was my strongest unit so I grinded for some INT gear, maxed them out and used Quinna and Honeycomb as allies for that extra INT stat.

I can only manage a C and that's with Sumo with Quilta and Primm for STRs. >__>

Ni no Kuni servers are live. It's boring af to me since it's just an auto MMO, but have at it if that's your thing. It's Netmarble though so recommended to stay away.

Is this in the event? You probably won't be able to clear the higher level free quests (blue colored quests) in the event, as I don't think supports can always carry through those. If you're losing a quest pretty hard, that probably means you just can't clear it at your level, so you should just repeat the lower level free quests for farming instead.

If you're having trouble with the event story quests (red colored quests) or some other specific quest in the event (such as the big bets), post which quest you're currently on, and we can try to provide advice. If you're trying to do main story, you're probably just at a point where you need to stop and level more Servants.

FGOs currently doing a summer event, so anyone with a swimsuit and class advantage should be able to hyper-carry everything except CQs.

WelpI am out of gems and Emilia-less. Im gonna drop PriConne after this Clan Battle unless we get those 3K gems while Emilias banner is still up and I somehow get her in those 2 pulls :<

Max pot Justice Knight! I just need to max the robot's trust and that's all the robots done once again.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/9/6/AACGMdAADRJ4.jpg

lol nice. I've always wondered why his name is in quotes though...

My robot tags ALWAYS drop :(

Is it kinda weird that a good majority of the time Ill get the 4 star+ guarantee tags together? Like Fast Redeploy guarantees Projekt Red or Gravel IIRC, and Ill always get that with something like Support or something :<

I cant remember the last time Ive gotten just a single tag like that. And it sucks because it feels like Im wasting the other

I get fast redeploy and specialist together pretty often, yeah

4* ticket from the last EoM bingo board netted me Duran.

Well, ain't that nice.

it might just be i'm too new to try some of the higher free quests...

Anyone gonna do counterside?

Figure I'll play that instead of EOM until Octopath comes out.

Played the SEA version a bit and enjoyed it. I have the global version pre-installed waiting for servers to go live.

100 free rolls incoming for AS as well. I guess they really want to celebrate in style.

Yeah there's like a side-ish main story thing going on where Navi and Vice duo investigate some deeply fucked up abyss area to find something that can repair Soroz's consciousness. It's also trying to redeem or at least justify Reinhardt somewhat.

I haven't finished it yet, but I think she finds something in there that gives her this power boost

Persona 5 Royal collab in Last Cloudia begins in roughly 5 hours 21 minutes, if you're interested in playing.

Upon logging in after Maintenance you'll get a ticket that will guarantee you either Joker or Morgana at Random, so a good time to reroll if the ticket doesn't give you who you want.

Counter side global is up for predownload

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.studiobside.CounterSide

Is it true that Counterside is PvP focused? I saw that in some reviews and I don't like competitive gachas D:

This is what Im talking about. First pull, and the first character of said pull

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/7/7/AAPV5JAADROR.jpg

I pulled again and got another copy of her. Next one got me Dungeon Goddess Aqua. Three banner characters in a row. See PriConne, thats how rate up should work :<

The bias is strong.

I heard Counterside was only PVP for bragging rights, and the reward for PVP is minimal, which is a big positive for me

Also played through AS's in between Book 1/2 story thing, and yeah it justifies Reinhardt quite a bit. She's sorta playing her role and taking all the blame of the questionable decisions for herself, and she doesn't have full power over Illumina. I guess she's biding her time til she can finally do something about the actual people responsible, and that's why she's helping out the Navigator and enabling Vice to do whatever she wants to do, so that they can become resourced enough for them to be a big help when she tries to shake up Illumina's order.

She also doesn't actually believe ends justify the means, just that she's more or less forced to live that ideal whether she likes it or not.

They also set up going back to Navi's hometown Eraveil to finish repairing Soroz, and there's more to Eraveil than the mostly abandoned ruined civilization. I'm guessing that's where Vice gets her upgrade and finds the Celestite crossbow they teased.

Also Barton also getting a 6* upgrade

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/3/6/AAT8UhAADRPM.jpg

For anyone who cares, Konosuba Fantastic Days just started a Danmachi crossover even that will last 14 days. No Lilli or Haruhime units, though.

Servant coins are now fixed for SSRs in FGO.

It's a really good idea to do the PvP in Counter:side since some really good stuff is in the PvP shop, but it's a daily point quota so you can lose every match and get all the currency. Higher ranks do give slightly better premium currency weekly rewards, but the amount isn't really worth it if you aren't into PvP (like me lol). I really hope the same thing happens in Global as did in early SEA, a lot of people purposely set up weak defense teams in Strategy PvP so that everyone could rank high. That kind of looking out for each other felt really good.

Persona 5 collab did me pretty good in Last Cloudia.

Nice. I haven't pulled yet outside of the guaranteed ticket and free tickets. Got Morgana but they're still not rated on the Discord tier list, so I'm waiting to invest and pull more. I do need an LR ark though, because I have none currently.
