Current Events > Girls' Frontline General 15: A Glory Day Anniversary

(+) Yeah! (+)

I gotta be honest...a lot of GFL events suck. Its usually bingo, or grinding 60 of a currency daily, or theater, etc. I cant remember the last time I enjoyed an event :((

The story events are nice, because it can take a couple of days to clear all the story missions and they are at least interesting to play the 1st time. But once you finish it that's kind of it.

The second half of Dual Randomness got released. If you like the song from the event's PV, you can now find the full version as the ending theme, called "Rainfall".

I've only seen bits and pieces of chapters 4-6 of the event and I'll post any interesting tidbits about the gameplay as spoiler-free as possible. It looks like you actually play and fight as Ange for a stage. I did read this review from Ceia about the changes to the ranking map. So we're back to daytime ranking maps finally?

Dual Randomness Ranking... where do I even start... I'll first give my thoughts for this major event's ranking mode.

In summary, I think Mica did a great job with Dual Randomness' Ranking mode. It is difficult for the people that wants to fight for the top, yet it is easy enough for entry level Commanders. Banning SF echelons for combat maps also prevented the Pay to Win complaints. It is a good move by Mica to keep SF a "Pay to Collect" System, and not require players to "require certain Ringleaders to have an upper hand in rankings". Good job Mica, I've gotten my hopes up for the future of GFL, for now.

There are 3 different ranking maps, your final points is calculated with the sum of all 3 ranking maps.

Map 1 is a 6 turn night time puzzle, you can get a bunch of points from solving the puzzle.
Up to 14 Griffin echelons allowed, 1 SF echelon allowed (you can use Scarecrow who was given for free), up to 6 HOCs allowed.
There is almost no combat here, people can copy a guide almost 1 to 1 and get enough score to get the Fairy at 500k points.

Map 2 is a 4 turn combat map in the day, only 5 Griffin echelons allowed, no SF allowed. You can deploy HOCs in exchange for Griffin echelons.
There are 3 difficulties, Normal, Hard, and Nightmare.
Objective is to maintain a supply line, huge amount of points for keeping the supply line active at the start of each turn.
Enemies faced are SF / SWAP SF.

Map 3 is a 4 turn combat map in the day. 14 Griffin echelons allowed, no SF allowed, seem to only allow 2 HOCs.
As far as I know, there is no difficulty selection.
Objectives are yet to be discovered by CN players, this map was only released yesterday.
Enemies faced are SWAP SF and German Refugees(?)

I got the schoolgirl neko 97.

New constructables are almost here. Remember that the rate-up for 'em takes place days after release...as usual. =|

Fun facts about Dual Randomness - Chapter 4 is named "Operation Snake Eater".

There are dedicated maps to farm on, (the maps with the infinity symbol on them, we call them Chapter x infinity) with pretty decent drop rates. (I've gotten 4 5* drops within 50 runs, 1 run has about 5-6 checks). Said farming maps can be used to farm daily crates as well, since they can be fully cleared.

Story is fully separated from combat all together, look at the nodes below.

There is a fully fleshed out Normal difficulty and EX difficulty. Normal can be fully cleared easily by Commanders that have a few weeks under their belt with 2 level 90+ combat echelons (and if they fully utilize the Career quests correctly by leveling the right dolls with the free combat reports and cores)

EX difficulty is challenging. Mid-game Commanders can try to participate in EX mode (expect to have losses), it is not also too easy for Commanders with 5* Fairies either. I think Mica have finally found the "Goldilocks difficulty" zone.

For the Commanders that cannot handle EX difficulty, but want the reward for EX: you can clear 1 map on EX and you'll be able to get the reward for EX. (The first EX stage is easy) You can then do the rest of the chapter at Normal difficulty .

Good to know. I'm glad the difficulty balance was finally figured out, the farming maps are reasonable, and that even new players can finish the event and get all the rewards (even the EX ones). It's pretty much something for everybody now, except for maybe guide makers. lol

Mica Team is really made up of Metal Gear series fans for them to sneak in more references like that.

Now I'm curious if other players in this event think the same way. One player's opinion can be useful but I'd prefer some kind of consensus.

Almost time for maintenance!

i'll spam after maintenance regardless of rate up

I dont know what Girls Frontline is but I play this game called DJMAX Respect and it has a collaboration with that game. The songs in it are pretty good

Just wanted to say; now good bye :)

---

Yeah, that collab was a month or two ago. Gunslinger Girl is the one for next month.

Yeah, Girls' Frontline has a good soundtrack. Even if you don't play the game, I'd recommend checking out the OSTs. It's kinda how both games had a collaboration with Arc System Works' Guilty Gear and people who've never played that series remarked how good the music was (if you like rock and metal).

---

Anyone get any of the new dolls yet?

---

100 pulls. no luck yet.
---

I thought the rate-up wasn't for a few days still?

---

That doesn't stop people from trying early. "Look! No rate-up needed!"

---

Waiting for the rate-up myself. I need a few more days to stockpile combat reports, and even then C-93 will be the cheapest one to aim for.

---

Yeah Ive learned to wait for the rate up. I wanted AK-12 so badly I tried for her the day she came out and wasted like 200k resources <_<

Then on the rate up she was in my first batch of 4-pulls lol

---

I already got CR-21 from just doing daily production.

---

i got the chocolate AR and the loli SMG
---

Whew, only have four bingo squares left.

---

Looks like general rate-ups start at the end of next week.

---

I started like a week or two ago, what recipes should I be doing for the rate-up?

For T-Dolls, just do the official recommended recipes. Those are good enough.

For equipment, don't use the official recipes because they aren't as good as the ones for T-Dolls. These recipes have been tested to have better results:

(Recipes are listed in the order of: Manpower-Ammo-Rations-Parts)

Scopes, PEQ (Night Vision Goggles), Suppressor: 210-80-150-80
Camoflage Cape: 270-40-270-190
Exoskeletons, Armor Plates: 120-92-60-152
Ammo Box: 50-50-50-250
Hollow Point Ammo: 240-240-40-130
AP Ammo, HV Ammo, Shotgun Shells: 50-250-150-150

You can look at this article for how rate-ups work in the game:

Just to add on to this.

In the beginning you want to focus more on getting ARs and SMGs. HGs are always useful since they buff every gun type so they aren't bad to get, but you shouldn't focus on them since AR/SMG comps do good damage while being low cost.

Keep in mind that banner/targeted rate-up don't affect your chances of getting a certain rarity, just better odds of that specific doll whenever you happen to roll a 4* or 5*. General rate-ups are the other way around; they increase the odds of getting a 4* or 5* rarity but do not increase the odds of any specific unit.

I might just skip the targeted rate-up and do the general one instead then.

Current resources are: 49.5k/76k/76k/27.6k

I agree. Your first two lv90+ squads should be 3AR+2SMG team compositions, after that, you'll want to start leveling up some handguns and rifles for at least one 2RF+3HG squad. For your fourth team, I'd recommend another RF+HG squad but you could also start to level MGs and SGs if you want, provided your logistics can handle their expense to use (although SGs have more long-term value than MGs at the moment). Once you have those four or five teams down, you should be able to handle whatever the game throws at you, barring some curveballs like Judge.

As soon as you unlock the ability to use fairies, start using them. The passive buffs they provide help a ton with battles. You're even given a good one, the Command Fairy, for free when you start crafting them. Other good fairies include the Artillery Fairy, Armor Fairy (for SG teams), Parachute Fairy, Taunt Fairy, and Illumination Fairy. Rescue Fairy, Warrior Fairy, and Fury Fairy are pretty decent as well. Since fairies require a crapton of investment to raise, don't raise more than one copy of a fairy at a time, except for Para, Illumination, and Taunt, where the skill is more important than the passive buffs.

Don't worry too much about fairy talents, they're the least important aspect of the fairies, but you want to keep an eye out for Damage I, Damage II, and Fervor talents whenever you get them. For the Armor Fairy specifically, look out for Armor II.

Yeah, the general rate-up will give you more in return. The upcoming target rate-up for the new batch won't give you a lot of mileage.

Since you just started, look out for these dolls:
ARs -
AN-94
AK-12
G11
416 (for her upcoming mod)
G36 (really good post-upgrade)
9A-91 (for night battles)
ADS is okay
K2 is okay
RFB is okay
MDR is okay
Type95 is okay
Type97 is okay

SMGs -
UMP45 (great main tank)
C-MS (great main tank)
P90 (great main tank)
Vector (great off-tank)
Type79 (great off-tank)
Suomi is okay
SR-3MP is good but requires a lot of investment to get going

If you want a jumpstart on other dolls...
RFs -
Lee-Enfield
M200
Carcano M91/38
IWS 2000
M200
WA2000
M14 (a great RF after her upgrade)

HGs -
Mk23
K5
Grizzly MkV
M950A
Welrod
Px4 Storm
Contender (a specialist but still good)
Stechkin is okay (gets an upgrade later)

Since your resources are limited, I'd stay away from MGs and SG pulls if I were you. Those are really expensive to pull for and won't give you much in return at this time. There should be another general rate-up in January, so you should be ready to pull for those by then if you're still playing the game.

---

Got the two new ARs!



---

I got the whole batch this morning but it took over 400 pulls and 100k of ammo and rations. I didn't get any of them on the first pull.

I can at least skip the normal T-Doll production general rate-up and save resources until the equipment rate-up.

---

I only got CR-21. I got a crapton of 5 stars like FAL, Vector, Thompson, G11, and Contender, but no other rate up dolls :<

---

try again in general rateups.
---

After apx. 1000 tokens, I got AEK's costume and two dupes. Not a great haul, but tolerable.



Any time I've gotten a dupe this year, it always seems to be that PTRD one.

---

Can't wait for the new Medieval Fantasy set! AUG finally gets a costume and it reminds me of my Saber Lily figure.

---

Yay I got Demon Hunter costume on my third pull :D

And after wasting so many tokens when it first came out :<

Dammit, that's the one I wanted. At least both are animated.

Yeah, the medieval set has become one of my faves, next to Princes' Frontline anyway.

---

I was farming 0-2 a bit yesterday and it wasn't giving ramped-up XP gains. I wonder if that's been fixed.

---

I haven't noticed that. It was normal for me.

Prep guide for Shattered Connexion's ranking map is live now: https://bit.ly/35KXHKO

I had to use a link shortener because the original link's page code by Google has an unfortunate string of 3 characters that prevents me from posting the direct link here.

---

I'm crafting so much that I ran out of capacity, I kinda think I have to buy capacity unless I scrap these dolls I was keeping for dummy linking.

---

You should save some gems for increasing your army's size, yeah. Have you been getting the free (30) weekly gems by trying to share something to social media? You can just attempt it and back out without missing out.

---

Today is the last day of the normal t-doll rate-up; did everyone get what they needed? For the upcoming normal equipment production rate-up tomorrow, what sort of stuff are you aiming for? I'm going for HV ammo and t-exos to cover the next event.

---

I have a ton of gold equipment -- way more than I'll ever use, probably -- so I'm not going to bother with any rateups. I do need some more gold handgun ammo, but I occasionally get those in my four daily attempts.

---

New HOC coming out...eventually. I'm sure we'll enjoy that merry-go-round.



---

I think I'm stuck at 99.88% download for the new update.

---

I got some kind of error when I did the mandatory update hours ago, so I dunno if that's fixed. I've had that 99.88% (approximately) error a long time ago, though. Pretty sure that was the update that screwed things up for almost a whole day.

I checked reddit and seems other people are having issues so I guess I'll try again later.

I really do hate how these updates take place on monday, because it means losing out on combat sims for skill training.
