Board 8 > Tales of Crestoria topic 5 - .7% rate up gacha gamers

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hope they aren't doing anything fishy with their rates :/

---

i promise for real now this time I am 100% holding forever until a pity system

these jerks just *had* to put out maid and catgirl alts after they had already broken me down, these absolute monsters I can't take it again

---

Scraped together enough for another pull. No SSRs.

The game is getting ridiculous with it giving me Malik's and Arche's to the point that I'm thinking shenanigans. In my last 20 SRs I have gotten 7 Arche's and 4 Malik's. I've gotten 5 Arche's and 3 Malik's today alone in 3 pulls and the 2 SR tickets.

It's hard to calculate beyond that but I feel confident in saying I have gotten 9 of each of them in approximately my last 40 SRs. As I know I had no dupes of them at all as few as 2 weeks ago and I barely played last week

Edit: Actually I think I did have some dupe Malik's but I had no dupe Arches

In the area between the 100-150 and the whales are showing up.



A fully Awakened Dual Blade Buff team. Tons of HP and Defense buffs too. Let's see if I can manage.

---

He was basically obliterating me until the very end, managed to pull it off with Kohaku and Estelle as the last remaining units by barely hanging on and healing for about a dozen turns.

---

You have maid kohaku or normal? Also, how can you tell that they're fully awakened?

---

holding on their faces up top, shows their Awakening bonus if unlocked, their memoria, and current status effects

---

I've encountered my first fully awakened Chronos in the arena. Meanwhile, all my arena tickets for this month came up as duds again

---

Grinded out all the gems of story and power ups, and did a storm serpent raid for 10 more yo do the last pull I can do for a while. I want my final Rita SSR. I could use a Lloyd. Give me another SSR Lana. Maybe some decent SRs, like a Rokurou? Please, give me something.

9 R, 1 SR, and the SR is Rose.

*fuck this shit*

---

:(
I'm starting to become disillusioned as well. Probably going to try and hold whatever stones I get for awhile now

Normal. If you hold down on their portrait it will show if their awakened ability is active.

---

Next selected summon is Sorey.

---

Ahhhh I could get one more Sorey to max awaken...

Tempting but you wont get my Gleamstones

---

Pulled on the Maid Banner. Welcome to the SSR Earth Squad Maid Rita. Would have preferred Kohaku since I still don't have a Fire SSR but either of them would have been nice. With the SSR luck I've been hearing here I'm glad I managed to pull one on my first go!

Also snagged another Zaveid on that pull so I can fully awaken him which will work very nicely with Maid Rita.

You hit the jackpot there, congratulations

---

this time I can't even be jealous, I'm just glad at least one of us got a focus for this banner after all these pulls

---

Thanks! At first I was slightly disappointed since I have Cress, Lloyd, and Yuri already for Earth SSRs but I'm definitely happy to have pulled her! Especially with all the terrible luck everyone's been getting lately.

yeah, I'm happy one of us lucked out. congrats!

---

I like how Velvet is a bonus character for this new event when she is at a color disadvantage

---

My all fire team is a go for this.


---

My Luke x2 & Misella are 100s, and my Awakened Arche & Presea are 90s.....

shame my Stahn and Reid are still 80 tho hrmmm

---

Fk I can't QUITE solo VH

No Estelle means no solo VH for me.

Lame

---

I mean, I could solo it if I used Misella's heal on specific targets but then I'd have to be paying attention to it and like hell I'm paying attention to every single raid just so I can clear it solo

I have seen absolutely no notable difference between 100% and like 40%, as long as you still get MVP, so soloing is a bit of a time waste regardless.

There's no widespread insane broken nuke against earth raids either like there is with water, at least right now.

Oh I'm not arguing against that. I always send out for aid anyways.

The problem is that there's 100 raids up at the moment for the event so I had literally no one join and I've sent for aid 3 times now. So the boss is just sitting at 5% hp now for 20 minutes :)

If only I had Estelle...

---

Oh shoulda said that lol, just took care of it.

---

Tyty

Also this raid is kind of blowing my mind here with the 4th turn break Guage. It's completely throwing off my MA flow, and if it turns out that future raids don't have a default 3rd turn break gauge as well that could throw the entire meta into whack. Almost nothing is prioritized more for raid content than the 3rd turn MA right now. Suddenly Reid is absuredley more valuable than Stahn for this raid.

Yeah I've got him in 4th slot with Patty Memoria so he's hitting for 250K on the break :))))

---

Got enough stones for a 10 pull and got double Eleanor. Lame even though I really like Eleanor.

...Then I used the single summon ticket reward from the event and got my first Ludger.

Crestoria is a fickle beast lol. At least you got one

Shiny!

I think I'll get there next week

---

I'm afraid I don't know if I'll be able to push to the top 100 right now, even if I spent gems. It's just littered with so many powerhouses. May need to start experimenting with these SR teams myself. Was hoping to wait until I got a few of the noteable units fuly Awakened.

---

Dezel became my first awakened SR today. I need one more Rokurou and Lailah to finish them. Still sitting on only one copy of Emil and missing a handful entirely like Magilou.

---

I hope they eventually add more SR units. Also I want a Berseria costume for Zaveid.

---

Yeah I'm sure top 100 is all fully awakened whales. Crazy you're that high up though

---

I have 8 Awakened SRs (Kanata, Vicious, Emil, Arche, Presea, QQ, Dezel, Zaveid) and 5 max ascended character memorias (Kanata, Vicious, Lailah, Ruca, Kyle)

Also 4 characters 1 away from awakening: Norma, Senel, Anise, and Lailah - and Farah's memoria is at 4/5 ascensions

without sharding I would've also had Bruiser awakened for sure

I was more than willing to spend a few gems to make sure I passed the next ranking threshold before the week reset every week. It easily pays for itself in the additional gem rewards.

Now that I'm in SSS I don't know exactly how the rest works, though. I assume I drop down to 66k Prestige every Sunday?

---

I'm pretty certain that you are correct about that. Dropping to 66k each week

---

I'm willing to bet Bruiser is probably the least used character in the game, lol.

That will likely change as time goes on and the meta starts to move from element buffs to Skill type buffs. +29% attack to Martial Arts at 20 hits is absolutely no joke, that's better than a lot of SSR awakening passives.

---

Theoretical God Tier team factoring in all Awakenings: Velvet, Kohaku, Maid Kohaku, Sophie, Chronos, Bruiser

+29% HP
+10 to OL for every ability use
+58% Attack at 20 hits
Flat +5% Attack for Chronos and another +20% for Maid Kohaku and Bruiser at 20 hits. At 20 Hits, Maid Kohaku in this setup has +78% Attack.

No duplicate characters though. The game notes did mention that they are considering changing it, however

Oh that's silly. Seems more like a bug than a feature.

---

yeah I didn't give a shit about him as a character so I never considered using him on a team and the memoria was pure garbage so I had no hesitations to shard

I'm at the point now where I'm happy with what I got from the exchange shop until I gradually build up legit unnecessary dupes though, so now I got a few awakens on Bruiser - I also have since finished Tales of Destiny and he's kinda likeable even if completely inconsequential to the point I'm shocked he's an SR

---

I agree. If they want people to pull for alts, we should be able to use them as we wish.

The martial arts grid is pretty good. Bruiser might find a home there for me

---

Opera Omnia has "no dupes on a team" rule which is really awkward since there's only a few dupe characters that applies to, like Dark Cecil & Paladin Cecil

(costumes are equitable cosmetics, not separate characters)

---

hrm I had the raid break glitch... kinda happen without leaving the raid to make it?

except hits aren't critical off of it, the raid boss still attacks, he just has a perma status of "broken" but it doesn't mean anything except I can't break him again :|

I was just unleashing a standard 4-character MA barrage with Misella/Estelle/Stahn/Reid, broke him during the normal artes, then the first two MAs were critical as you'd expect... until I got to Stahn and Reid whos attacks didn't crit for some reason, and then the "break" status just didn't end even though he went right back into fighting

oh well I still managed to solo him fine but that was weird

---

For the first and hopefully last time for quite a while, I am diving in with some big cash. The once a month mega pack for 80 buckaroos.

Wish me luck.

---

Well...I got em...
