Board 8 > Tales of Crestoria Topic 2 - No Earthly Good

(+) Yeah! (+)

And I'm not lucky enough to have a 3 Awakened Estelle to keep me alive for a long time in a very hard raid

---

Once the story AP goes to 1 and 2 for next week, getting unites to 3rd Ascension should be fairly simple. Will likely make this easier with everyone at level 80.

Hell, I don't even have an Earth SSR of my own for thus raid...though I guess that's teh case for all of us.

Also remember that you get buffed for using the event Memoria.

I kept them all separate to have 9 of the same weapon type, seems not bad

I already have 9 sword R Memoria, have been instantly silvering the rest now that I understand how the system works. SR Memoria I always use for ascension, at least until I get more than 5.

Used one of the generic summon tickets and got SSR Misella!

My luck WILL run out and I WILL pay for this streak, mark my words.

That's not how gatcha works. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer~

---

How does the game expect you to get 40 battle arena games in per week when it literally just ate one of my entry tickets just now?

I was at 5 and I did a battle. And now I'm at 3.

:S

???

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.

Yeah, really gonna need to pull Estelle for these raids at some point otherwise I guess im fk'd lol

---

Man this limited event can go fuck itself. I might end up ignoring it completely considering how many resources you need to use to get the prizes. 16 AP for the best quest, seriously?

---

Beem looking through my characters and trying to find good combos.

Asbel seems like a good pairing with Estelle. His defense isn't great but his HP is very high, which is great since healing is percentage based. Compare to Aegis who has fantastic defense but mediocre max HP.

is there any reason you'd want to do it more than once?

you get a similar number of event points from soloing a normal event raid, and the increased number of mats you get aren't worth it. 16AP once though for 50 gleamstones, sure, gimme.

edit: 80 actually for a clear!

---

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

oh yeah that's true.

don't always need to do the very hardest though.

---

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

Doing raids forever sounds miserable, honestly.

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.

For the hell of it I am seeing if I can solo the hard event raid.

I'm 13 minutes in and about halfway done, but with two healers I think it might be happening?

Edit: I'm using auto don't worry I'm not that stupid.

---

The raids are such a liability if no one actually shows up too. I dunno, I just started one that only two other people jumped in, so even if it does eventually get completed, I'm probably not getting MVP, which severely limits the accumulation of things.

I know this is all typical gacha stuff, but I'm not particularly enthralled by how this one is set up at the moment. The fact that certain units don't provide a bonus to currency seems like a mistake.

---

I'm not a fan of how raids work in general atm. I like the idea but the amount of rewards you get for the time spent is completely off.

And then there's the problem of just having no one join. Like I made a Very Hard one of the event and I had no one join for 6-7 minutes which is when I died. So I just wasted my time and my resources. I could just wait for people to join before attacking but then I'm wasting a shit ton of time just waiting.

---

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've done this several times and about 50% of the time the raid runs out of time and counts as a fail.

---

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

I should be playing again in about 20-25 minutes. If I'm low on cooldown for an Arena ticket, I'll hop in to aid Raids.

I haven't even looked at the prize pool yet to see if I want anything.

How are y'all beating the level 6 event quest? I can only beat the level 5 one if I have a level 80 earth support friend. I have an 80 Velvet, a couple 70s, and a couple 60s. Is it that I'm missing Estelle/any healer and that changes everything?

I'm running 2 Earth heroes who do most of the heavy lifting

Yeah Estelle saved my butt in the level 6 event quest.

---

Healers are important. Any decent SR healers?

---

Norma has a full party heal and attack buff. She might be worth building

---

I've actually seen her in Arena a good bit.

---

Only healer I have is SSR Misella and her heal seems kind of underwhelming

---

Yeah I only got Misella as well, Estelle's healing is just leaaaagues above hers

---

I think the growth on ability leveling for Misella's heal is pretty significant.

---

Yeah, I definitely don't have a Healer as good as Estelle. I'm not exactly sure who I have for healers right now, actually...

---

who needs healers anyway

---

I opened an Estelle but I already have a level 70 awakened Misella and with the heal at level 4 it's restoring a reasonable 37%. She holds her own for damage output and has the best Mystic Arte animation in the game so Estelle is on the back burner for now.

O.o Awakened! Congrats!

Whoops, I only mean with 1x because I combined her with her memoria. I bought five of her SR for cheap in the exchange shop and that leveled is better than a level 50 SSR. Did the same thing for SSR Kanata.

Oops accidentally dumped most of my art leveling books into SSR Miselle's heal so I guess she's on the team now

Gachaing while low on sleep and distracted by a conversation is dangerous

---

Oh hello sir.

Report: turns out having a 41% heal is actually really nifty

Also bit the bullet and spent 40 Gleamstones on the AP refresh pack in the shop. So far it's been extremely worth it. Having 3 full AP restores is incredible and letting me do so much more today than 'spam raids until you can do fun content again'.

---

Well my Farah is now level 80, but I don't really have an earth element to put her on yet. I guess she'll be good for my player support?

---

At that level there's a good chance she'll be better than at least one of your other Memoria even without a matching element.

---

I put most of my arte leveling booking into Estelle. Now, she has a 55% heal.

---

Yeah, I just got sick of my fire guy dying in two rounds during the Raids and poured what little exp I had left into Farah.

And only just looked at the exchange and see an SSR Farah about five fruits away. FML

---

Oh that's a good idea.
