Current Events > Gacha Game General Topic 17: ''10-Pulls and Heart Pupils''

(+) Yeah! (+)

So in the current Touhou event, you can get three guaranteed friend rituals (one each at 50k and 150k event points and another in the event shop) across the course of the event. I've already gotten the event shop one (gave me a duplicate Cirno for limit break fodder) and the 50k one (gave me Reisen) and I'm currently sitting at about 65k event points. There's also a Paper Doll (AKA limit break fodder that can be used on any character) waiting at 250k event points, which will be the stopping point where I'll be done grinding the event.

Well, the Touhou update seems to have completely nuked my progress here. Guess I'm dropping that now.

Ouch, that sucks. I generated a transfer code and saved it somewhere so I hopefully shouldn't lose my account to anything like that. The only other binding method is binding to Facebook (which I don't have one) so that's annoying.
---

Yeah what I did was just create a transfer code and take a screenshot. I actually lost my best account once and easily recovered using that. Basically took like 5 seconds to make for a non-loss of a week of work and good luck.

---

That MHA game is super fun but super overpriced.
---

Okay, restarted on Touhou, got the ID/password generated so I shouldn't lose my account again, and got Youmu on my new rolls. Winning, I guess.

---

This is... odd

---

Interesting, but not really a huge deal lol

---

Depends on what it entails. US getting a different version than Global is odd no matter what. If I play it won't affect me though as I'm not US.

---

Nah, it's probably an identical version. What I have to guess is somebody started the project on a different package name, and for whatever reason, it's gotten too difficult to replace the name. In actual practice, it really shouldn't matter to us, unless we download the US version and the global version, then they'd be considered 2 different applications even though they might be the same game.

---

Wow, already cleared out the rare items in the event lottery thing in the current touhou event. The event points are very generous for sure, but man in JP rates, shit would've taken forever. Honestly the only thing holding me back is the fatigue

In general, the loading screens tend to be a mix of SFW and NSFW, with most being SFW. There are a few of the older screens that are notoriously NSFW, like the hot spring scene, or the one with U-81 and U-556 underwater. Only one NSFW loading screen has ever been removed from the game after being implemented, and that was due to other drama with the artist, not for being too innappropriate. And really, none of the loading screens push into NSFW territory as hard as some ship skins do.

If you're curious about old loading screens, you can go to the koumakan wiki and search for loading screens. They have an archive of old loading screens and title screens, though it hasn't been updated with the stuff from Mirror Involution.

On one hand, I *am* curious.

On the other hand, I've managed to avoid being goaded into Azur Lane so far, and "done in by loading screen lewds" is a pretty sad epitaph.

I'm still pissed that they had their cash shops working *day one* but not their log-in methods that left me out in the cold for almost a week and their only solution at the time sounded like Olmec trying to guide me through the Hidden Temple.

Miss me with that silver monkey shit.
---

Finally unlocked Date with Maki, and I gotta say, she's somehow even more precious than before. God her VA is perfect too. You'd think she'd sound serious, then you hear like a cutesy squeaky voice that's trying its best to sound serious. The gap is too much

Summer banner in TKFM is up.



Im conflicted, to say the least.

On the one hand, I got one of each girl in just under 100 rolls (which was coincidentally every voucher I had).

On the other hand, seeing a 0* 10-roll, or the first girl being the robot, enraged me to dangerously high salt levels. Seeing Lulu on that last pull saved it, but man, if it didn't...

I'll still throw a few rolls here and there, but now I have a comfortable 30k+ demonite and then some to throw at the event when it hits.

Rest in peace to the gacha game I've been playing for well over three years, Graffiti Smash.

Mynet bought them out a year and a half to two years ago, and the soul of the game crashed incredibly. The development of the game got super lazy, and those of us in the discord for it, just knew it was going to happen sooner or later. This is really sad for me. I used to have a lot of fun with the game, but to see it grow so barebones to the point finding literally anyone playing the game anymore was a challenge.

This game is shutting down at the end of July. Currency store has been disabled.

Ba'al is best girl

Look them up in the wiki mentioned. By looking at the loading screens you'd assume it's a hentai game or something >_>

Summer Shiz almost makes me want to play that game again lol

---

Mixed feelings about my Tenka situation. I'm 70 rolls in in the summer banner and no SSR lol. But somehow I'm not as mad because I just stared at like 3-4 SSRs in my box kinda rotting away. I don't have the resource to build them up, and I'm sorta building up Chizuru out of sorta just her fitting in my team better, and even that's sorta been iffy to me. So even if I pull any of them, I'll probably not use them lol. I also 5*'d Satan, and she's basically invincible. Pretty happy about that but... yeah it's also contributing to an ambivalence to my horrible luck

But at the same time, what the fuck you fuckin' game, it ain't easy pulling out 70 pulls lol. Gimme at least one goddamn thing

On the subject of dying/dead games, Djibril 6 is closing down next month too.

https://twitter.com/denjib_official/status/1399260484843438088

It only lasted about a year and a half, but the writing was on the wall when they started releasing the OG girls, starting with the most popular, Hikari/Aries (imouto MC from Djibril 2)... and only made them available through paid-only gacha, and not even guaranteed.

Huh, I just found out apparently Guardian Tales has a Nintendo Switch version planned.

https://www.gamerbraves.com/guardian-tales-to-be-available-on-nintendo-switch/

---

Yeah I did hear about it. Though supposedly not even the first gacha game to want to do a switch release and didn't happen. Except GT would pretty much be perfect on the Switch.

Yiiiikes ok, so the different package name was clearly done on purpose. There's some weird shit they're doing with the US version where we're not getting a free character that literally every other server will get, and we have to work for it instead on some future event

The worst thing is, JP version has an English option lmfao. So... yeah... I mean this was clearly done on purpose, and they're just lying out their ass. A package name can't be changed out of what technical reason lmfao? The only reason I can think of is that they accidentally published an earlier version on the US store under a different package name, and there was some advertisement issue. Even then, a different package name doesn't somehow interfere with... anything lol. The package name in an Android app has nearly 0 effect on the actual coding of the game. It's literally what dictates under which name the game is saved in the folder and just about nothing else. It might also affect what directory certain assets are saved under? But why would that affect handing out rewards and shit lmao. That shit should be entirely done on the backend anyways.

They're just lying lol, and hiding it under some bullshit jargon that has nothing to do with anything. What they actually mean is that US is just getting a different version, and they're planning on nickel and diming people.

Yeah, and being a different version, theres no telling what other crap they might pull. Censorship? Skipped content completely? Let's not also forget how some games fold only certain versions in certain areas, but of course only after they duped people into spending on the already condemned servers. (Literally can't even be arsed to give a freebie, they want you to toil or whale for it instead? That's not a red flag at all, nosiree.)
---

In any case, make sure to go the extra distance and download the JP version and enable English. I'm sure on release, there will be plenty of effort to give instructions on how to do so

Guh... finally pulled a summer SSR, and it's Lulu. I'm pretty happy, and I have to wonder how good she is. I think she has a pretty high potential to be good, mostly because I noticed that Salucia is a supporter despite having big damage.

Her lead skill basically makes healers and supporters do extra damage, which can be abused in various ways. Aiko can spam her ult if you put her in the middle, and you can still use tanky units like Satan. I want to test it out since I was looking for spicier leads

The audience actually seems to be booing right now, but not for the reasons you might be thinking.

Apparently, this RPG-themed Happy Around banner was tied to a whole event in the JP version, but now because the banner has been released in the global version by itself with no event, it seems like they're skipping that event entirely to try and catch up to JP sooner. That isn't a big deal in and of itself, but the thing that people are upset about is that the Muni in this banner was originally the event freebie that you didn't need to roll for, but now she's behind a gacha banner (and a limited one at that) in Global. She's only a 3-star, so pulling her if you really want her (probably) wouldn't be that tough. But it does still suck for the people who wanted her and were expecting her to be an event freebie.

Welp, I caved and bought Rubi in Illusion Connect. I mean how many Little Red Riding Hoods have a blade and firearm :3

Well theres Ruby Rose from RWBY with her scythe/sniper rifle, but she cant summon wolves...

Lul nice. Yeah it's kinda difficult to get the character from the great fortune pass thing without paying. I actually did it last run through, but I pretty much had to get every point available and barely made it

---

Man I have gotten absolutely shit luck with my pulls in Touhou. And in Azur Lane :<

I used up the guaranteed friend pull plus 60 pulls from the free draws and no Patchouli, Remilia or Ran in Touhou, and no New Jersey after 138 pulls in AL >:(

Unless RNGesus kisses some major ass by the end of the free draws, I'm done with Touhou.

TKFM event up.

Seems fun. Like FGO's first summer event, though hopefully not as stamina-heavy.

Okay, so I must know now... I love Helena Meta's look and I want to know what I can do to hopefully get ready for her when she arrives. Assuming, of course, that there's time. I don't quite understand how the Ashes stuff works. Is it sort of like raid bosses in other games where multiple people can fight one boss?

---

My Kourindou rolls have been like... oh god lol. It's a bit too good lol. Even the first account that I barely play but keep to roll for fun has been pulling all sorts of crazy shit with all those free rolls. The game's income in terms of characters and upgrades and stuff is clearly all within the events. I also max LB'd some story card, and I rolled enough Nitoris to max LB her without dolls. I think I'm getting luckier than I should though, providing my rerolls were never nearly this good

Also I have enough characters to send 2 full errands and 1 spare. I also kept the character guarantee pulls because I'm waiting for Remilia and Flandre to be a part of it

How do I change my fleet in Operation Siren? I just have a bunch of ships that I havent used in ages lol

---

You can change your fleet by using some icon on the world map, IIRC. I think it's one of the buttons attached to a globe or something. Didn't know how to do this either until I asked on the A:OT board, haha.

---

On a side note, on Tenka, I tested Summer Lulu lead with a mostly supporter/healer team with Aiko in the middle and Salucia at the end, and wow, it is way better than I thought it would've been. Aiko does about 75% of DPS of Salucia's ult... but every turn after the first 4 turns lol, which is pretty nuts considering Salucia's ult is like 5 or 6 turn cd. And she also heals the entire team by quite a bit to boot. Summer Lulu's shield also makes this team moderately tanky, and there's nothing that stops you from running a tank like Satan there either.

Fleet change on OpSi is done using the "Order" button at the top left of the map in the upper right corner, then selecting Fleet Deployment. You can only use Fleet Deployment when in an Azur Lane port (so your fleet must be in New York, Liverpool, Gibraltar, or St. Petersburg. It will initially cost 0 AP, but after making a change to your fleets, the cost will increase to 99 AP for the next change. This cost will slowly reset to 0 AP over 24 hours.

As for getting Helena META, there's a short tutorial about Ashes Showdown towards the end of Chapter 1 of the OpSi story. Basically, you run maps and missions in OpSi to collect coordinates for whatever Ashes battle is currently available. When you reach 100 coordinates, you need to analyze them from the Ashes Showdown screen, which is reached either by clicking on the + next to the coordinate counter, or by clicking Ashes Showdown on the overworld map.

After opening an Ashes fight, it does work similarly to raid battles in other gacha, but on a much smaller scale. You can fight your own Ashes, and the damage you do will carry over between fights. You can also request support from other players, and they can assist you. After the Ashes is defeated, you collect sync points based on the level of the fight, and you get the META ship and the mats to Limit Break her after reaching certain point milestones. Assisting another player also gives you points, based on how much damage you were able to do.

You can only collect a maximum of 200 coordinates per day (so 2 battles), and each player can assist another player 3 times per day. Overall, it takes about 8-10 days to unlock a META ship, and about a month to MLB the META ship. Helena META will not be available until the current showdown with Ark Royal META ends on 6/15.

Lol Japanese FGO is doing a recap video of lostbelts due to the sheer length of time between story content. I'm pretty sure they got one chapter last year. Ridiculous.

Gaaahhhh 160 and no New Jersey. I bet Im gonna get her at like 199 <_<

I did a couple of yolo 10-pulls trying to pull the limited Maho from the RPG banner in D4DJ, but got Rinku instead. Not quite who I wanted, but I like her a lot too, so I'm not upset.
