Board 8 > Tales of Crestoria Topic 4 - My Kingdom for a Strange Core

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah the water raid is really easy and I don't even have a single wind SSR unit to run. I just run Estelle and Misella and the raid boss doesn't have the damage to kill me. Kind of weird.

Is there supposed to be an event raid soon so I can get these crystals for the ascension board?

(we were supposed to have Dranzort earlier this month but they had issues with it so lol didn't release)

Bleh, another multi summon with no SSR so that's 4 in a row now. May be more but I know for sure it's at least 4.

Did at least get 4 SRs so still a decent summon but feels bad to go stretches without an SSR

geeez I already got an SSR Natalia drop within like 8 BP of raid aids

why couldn't this happen when I was Farah farming :|

---

I haven't gotten an SSR drop from any raid of any kind, and according to the stats I've done over 800 raids. Some kind of luck

---

I've gotten seven SSR drops from about 1500 raids. No idea how that luck measures out

4x Keele
1x Patty
1x Event Patty
1x Event Farah

---

I've gotten 1 event patty and that's it for SSRs

---

I think I have 2. 1 event Patty and 1 non event Patty.

Although I did get screwed out of an SSR by maintenance. Had an SSR Alvin drop but it overran into maintainance. I got the drop screen with him showing and then maintainence screen after. When I logged back in I didn't have him and the raid wasn't in the list to be claimed. So I assume all the drops from that raid were lost to the abyss

geez, I just got a Misella from an event ticket. Eight SSRs from free tickets now.

You tried the lottery lately?

i feel for them

my Zelos attempts failed too and I am sad... actually I've never gotten a single rate-up'd character that I was targeting for :|

---

A pity mechanic is desperately needed with those focus rates.

I'm starting to wonder if I should. My ten pulls have been fairly bad though. I think two SSRs discounting the guaranteed one and the reroll. I know the rates are the same, but it doesn't feel that way

Hahaha



HAAAAAAAAAAAA

One day gatcha will bless me

HAAAAAAAAAAAA

show me your ways

---

3 of those were transformations, so I'm assuming I'mna wizard.

---

Summons might not be playing nice with me recently but I did get an SR Memoria from the quest and an SSR Memoria from a raid already. I've probably done like maybe 20 raids total, if that.

I think I'm gonna have to give up on summons until a pity system is implemented

I really hate never getting my target on all of these banners

---

That's basically where I am, but it helps that nothing so far has been a must have for me.

---

Wait this doesn't have a pitybreaket? That's the only reason I even tried out FEH after swearing off gacha forever >_>

I'm guessing there's no way to reroll your account without downloading the game again?

I just spent all my shit and got nothin.

There's no pity and unless rooted you have to delete files and redownload.

I imagine at some point in future there will be a pity timer. I get wanting a pity timer but it's also hard to expect one on a new game when that's their only way to generate money. Pity timers usually come a little bit further down the line when there's more units available

EDIT: Also having pity timers straight out of the door leads to players not sticking around because they get everything they want straight away and tend to stop playing quicker. Least it seems that way in a lot of games.

They were already pretty generous in the sheer number of SSRs you can get out of the gate completely F2P including a straight up selector.

Oh hey, non-SSR streak ends. Just got a dupe Velvet off a summon ticket. Was a R to SSR upgrade animation too.

What's the fastest way to get 2000 red gems on a new account after all the initial free stuff? I'm getting 5750 on a new account now so enough for 2 10x summons and 3 regular.

If it takes longer than like 10 min to get the 2k I'll prob just end up redownloading for a reroll >_>

Already rerolled once and I hate it because I have no patience and the forced tutorials aaaaaa

I DID IT



@kateee I used an emulator for quicker re-rolls and I finally got Zelos, I think I can transfer this account over to you if you'd like it (just gotta link it to a bandai account and I'll send you the pass and you can just log in)

(the previous roll also gave a Summer Rutee SSR so there's that, and all the generic Summon Tickets and SR Tickets are left untouched)

---

Just a heads up, one week left on the first Phantom Tower.

---

I wonder what happens after that.... another tower with new Hubert & Kratos?

kinda annoying to only get two of each

---

I'm assuming the Tower is going to still be the same difficulty as the previous tower...which means I guess we'll be auto crushing the first 2/3rds.

---

I suspect so. It would be lame if we were unable to max them out. Unless they put them on rotation with two other elements.

I got Vicious off another event ticket. SR to SSR transformation this time. unreal

---

Ugh, was trying to run down my stamina and raid tags to 0 before bed and didn't realize I was so close to level up so my efforts has done the exact opposite of what I wanted. At least AP is easy enough to quickly burn down again but raid tags not so much

wait, phantom tower is timed? Oh man I need to actually do this lol. I haven't really touched it. Thanks for the heads up

---

I don't even remember my last SSR. My specific type parties are incredibly bad lol/

Probably have to start paying attention in arena now. Lost 1 match last week after autoing every match. Lost 3 this week (19-3) so far when autoing

I think my last SSR was 2 weeks ago

---

Uh....I think the Gold Elixer after completing the rewards pass is bugged. I'm getting one every 1000 points instead of every 10000 points <_<


---

It's not bugged for me. I got one as expected for 160k

---

Ugh yeah it already stopped.

Was fun while it lasted! Got 17 elixers out of it.

---

Brought my charger to work today. Would've done it sooner but work's been a mess lately and I wanted to limit my time. Spent a lot of sidetime today getting the small stuff done: grinding up the Substone grid, refurbishing my teams, grinding out the new summer event stuff, finally beating Phantom Tower. Even decided to just use the 5000 gems I'd saved. No new SSRs, but got to max out Dezel, and got a few more sword memoria to ascend and grid. I have quite a few bows that I'm thinking of gridding later when I can field 9 good ones.

Old Team:

New Arena Team:


---

That's one buff Rita.

Why aren't you using 9 swords in the grid?

---

How good is Sophie? Wanted Zelos but I'll take it...

---

She's like Aegis but good.


---

I feel like adornment stones are absuredley hard to come by, but at the same time I guess they are extremely important? Like they WANT to make sure you can only adorn 2 or 3 stones a month? I guess that does make sense.

---

Decided to spend the Stones on Julius even though I have no dupes yet since he's part of my Substone grid, and finally broke 7k attack with Velvet.



---

the most awakenings I have on an SSR character is 2, on Velvet only :|

instead what I do have is 20 unique SSR characters out of 29 (missing Vicious/Milla/S.Kan/Rita/S.Veigue/Zelos/Leon/Cress/Dhaos)

---

I really need this Awakening Raid to kick into gear.

Now that I have Kohaku's passive, unlocking both of Velvet's OL up slots on her board means I will finally get the 3rd turn MA that's oh so critical.

---

I have something like 7 SSR characters and nobody is awakened more than once...

So is it better to awaken the characters first? I'd been leveling up the stones instead...

---

It completely depends on if you want to use the character or not.

If it's a character you actually intend to use, I think it should be merged in.

---

I got doubles of Sophie but I'm more interested in the mem greatly boosting crit damage for martial artists (particularly for my Velvet's sake)
---

If it's for crit damage on Velvet, kind of hard to beat Kyle!



---

I actually do his mem 5/5'd (and then I think 1 more)

Sophie tho starts 75% and already goes up to 90% with one ascension (max is 150%)
