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

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hit Spire 20 in TenkafuMA.

I could've cleared Spire 15 earlier, but my last successful run ended at turn... 31. So I waited a bit longer before I finally had the DPS to 3* it. Finally got it at 29 turns.

Still haven't 3*'d Spire 10, but it won't make a difference for rewards, I think. Spire 20 is the first ridiculous threshold.

As for the event itself, I'm at 13k points and probably stopping at 20k. The remaining 5k on the ladder doesn't seem worth the amount I'd need to spend refilling stamina for.

BTW does anyone know what time Touhou and Illusion Connect reset daily? I like to plan out when I do my dailies for games :3

Like for me it's about 9:30 pm, and Azur Lane just reset half an hour ago. Guardian Tales and GFL will reset in about half an hour at 10 pm.

---

Illusion Connect feels like it's around midnight PST, Touhou is like between 2 to 5 PST, can't really tell

Loool Illusion Connect's current event is the story behind one of the leader class, which is a genderbent version of the MC. Honestly though, it'll be a long while for a new account to get to the last half of the leader classes. I only unlocked 3 so far even though I'm pretty far into the corrupted corridor stages

---

Is there a way to make your lineup in a particular order in Illusion Connect? It randomly shuffles every battle, and I would prefer to have Seeger first to nuke the field then Hotaru after to clean up. But sometimes for whatever reason Seeger is last so I have to summon someone first :<

---

I was getting tired of how crappy the guild I'm in in Tenkafuma is so I went to quit in hopes of finding a better one only to realize I became the leader at some point lol. Kicking everyone who hasn't been on recently took it down from 34 to 10. No wonder we didn't get far on the rewards.

Sadly it depends on the mode. In Arcana and... can't think of the other ones, but the order is fixed, which lets you curate your fights better. In other modes, it's a random shuffle. Using the 3 main girls is decent if you have one card that's really important because they have low costs, and you can just shove them out on the field. They're also surprisingly decent units

Also damn you got Hotaru. She's pretty awesome I heard. I wish I had her

Maybe I'll join up. My guild is mostly deserted too

I randomly pulled Lily White in Touhou, so between her and the free Sanae after the first week of logins, I went from having no healers to having two healers and needing to pick which one I wanted to focus on. Lily White is cuter and I like fairies, so I went with her. Still no Cirno though...

BTW does anyone know what time Touhou and Illusion Connect reset daily? I like to plan out when I do my dailies for games :3

Touhou resets at 7PM (US central time) for me, so you'll have to adjust that for your time zone.

My gacha schedule goes like this:

Princess Connect = daily reset at 8AM CDT, extra stamina rewards at 3PM and 9PM
Revue Starlight = daily reset at 3PM CDT
TenkafuMA = daily reset at 4PM CDT
Touhou LostWord = daily reset at 7PM CDT

So on a normal day, I'll have three gacha-playing sessions: one in the morning after PriConne's reset, one in the afternoon after TenkafuMA's reset, and one at night after Touhou's reset and leading into PriConne's last free stamina reward.
---

Dang, that means Touhou resets at 2 pm along with FGO and AFK Arena. And yeah, Hotaru is really fun. Seeing her keep attacking is pretty hilarious lol. For the most part Seeger then Hotaru will win stages instantly lol

---

Also you should 100% be looking towards using the attacker leader. Luckily that one's the one you unlock first. He gets a bonus from fielding Hersey and 4 total attackers. You have Hotaru and Hersey, so you could fill the rest with anything. Probably Saya and Pan if you have Pan. Pan is probably one of the best burst character in the game, despite being an SR. She powers up if there are not that many units on the field, so a lot of time you just slap her on the field to chunk the enemy lead by most of their hp or more

I've also been using the attacker lead myself for a great majority of my time with the game. His lead snipe can also be pretty powerful

---

Aww but I wanted to use Seeger and Yuffie (although I dont have the latter yet) :<

Or is that a total of 4 attackers out of the whole team? So I could still have room after the 4 attackers?

Also, what does that cost limit or whatever do? I know in FGO it wont let you use a team that goes over your limit, but here, it didnt seem to do anything. The number was red because the limit was over but I think it still let me use my team. It didnt give me any warning or anything that I couldnt use someone.

---

Awww dang. I just noticed that the permanent card doesnt actually generate stamina; it just stores up to 300 overflow :(

Son of a... the game wont let me use my standard comment that I use for games: ( ^_^)/\(^_^ ) Maya High-Five!

Both the face(s) and the Maya High-Five contain banned words <_<

Yeah don't worry about it. You'll have plenty of space to use everybody. You don't even really need to field 4 attackers if 2 of them are like lvl 1 or something. You'd be better off fielding somebody you've actually built

---

The only problem is that I want to use Attackers, but theyll be taking up space in the rotation, making it less likely for me to start with nuke waifu :<

As it is Im only using 4 of my 7 slots so I can guarantee that I get Seeger and Hotaru right away lol.

Also, are characters only usable once per battle? Its not like Arknights where if they die they can come back after a cooldown? Because it seems kinda unfair when the computer summons like a buttload of dudes over and over <_<

---

Computers actually have a limit too. But unless you use revive skills or recycle skills, once a unit is down, they're down for the rest of the fight.

It's not like CPUs will actually be able to spawn more than 10, not counting the minions they start with, which is slightly annoying. Once you get closer to fielding 10 units, you usually won't go through all 10 of your units before the fight ends.

They'll also gradually be able to kill your squishier units really quickly, so the whole Seeger thing will start to not matter that much because your board could be wiped clean at any point

---

That sort of sucks... I was hoping that they would be able to come back :<

I think Arknights did it well with a delay time and cost increase

---

Yeah but it also incentivizes you to actually guard units instead of just throwing dps on the board, tho the latter is totally viable. Kiraya shield her entire row, and of course taunt is always a good tool both for taking focus away from your leads and for your dpses. Angela does both taunt and revives a random unit with some anger (aka the meter for their special skill), which is why she's considered one of the best units

---

Hmmm...I need new games to play lol. Any suggestions for something as a quick time-killer that can just be a pick up and play kinda thing? Not like say, most RPGs with daily log in quests and stuff. So far I've downloaded Slime Hunter, Archer Forest, Titan Evolution World, and Camp Defense. No idea how any of them are gonna be lol

---

Oh no, another jiggly waifu in Guardian Tales who's going to steal what little gems I have left :<

Well, on the bright side, I got her on my first pull. On the dark side, I only had that one pull :((

Also, does the game sort of tell you if you're getting a new character when it's doing that spotlight thing? Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I've noticed that when you get a unique hero, if you see the silhouette of the banner character when they're saying Kanterbury's next hero or whatever, then they're the one you're getting. Otherwise it could just be any of the others.

---

Yeah though sometimes they fake you out by having 2 3* chars >.>

Goddammit, I used all my gems on Mk99. I guess I need to think about it like what's worse than not having the waifu is having the waifu but you can't use her.

---

Oh wow, Illusion Connect seriously doesn't replenish any stamina when you level up? And it doesn't have a fast refill speed like Disgaea, or bury you in stamina-replenishing items like TAC, or have an outside method of generating and storing stamina like Touhou or Azur Lane. This may prove to be quite an annoyance <_<

---

Wut, you should get stam refresh. At least I do, get around 100

---

WTFZ I went up 4 levels and got jack diddly >:(

---

Kong pls

Aha, my suspicion was accurate. I asked a German coworker, and he confirmed that what Mainz is saying means For the commander :3

Okay, now Im confused about Tenkafuma guilds. Im listed as President and everyone else is just member, but the number of members has increased. Can every member accept requests?

You probably have it on free join or whatever

Oh yeah. Guess thats what happens when my first time as a guild leader is due to accidental inheritance lol.

---

If you still have space, tell me the name. Mine's dead and I'd rather go to a guild where I know at least 1 person is a living being

---

Sure. Its named indo. I have no idea why. Anyone else wanting to join, feel free.

---

I have a serious problem with Touhou's lifetime goals either utterly impossible and not worth the reward or gone in literally a day's worth of work. The dailies are decent I guess at least

---

I finally pulled Cirno in Touhou, plus Sakuya from the same 10-pull. Now that I have best meta (Youmu and Medicine) and best waifu (Cirno) in the game right now, I'm set for a long time. The next characters I'd be aiming for are Clownpiece (who didn't get added to JP until like 7 months in) and Okuu (who isn't even in JP yet after over a year) so I have plenty of time to save.
---

How do you even save in this game? I guess you can save the cubes but the money you have to basically lose everything you get in the boxes

---

I pulled so many fucking Xinyans I am literally shitting out Xinyans

---

Okay so yeah, I double checked, and I got no stamina upon leveling in Illusion Connect :<

Not sure what you mean. I have 2020 cubes after years of work, plus nearly maxed out cash. Just remmeber: you can store oil and cash higher than the displayed cap. Oil can go up to 25,000 and gold can go up to 600,000.

But yeah, I always see people say it's hard to save up cash, but for me, it's a cube game. It's hard to get a lot of cubes in a short time unless you get that particular 10-hour logistics mission.

I can see cubes being easy to hoard, but how do you get enough money to roll within the time period. Does that become easier somehow?

EDIT: You know what, I finally get it lol. I didn't realize 600k is enough for quite a few rolls

---

Yeah, it's easy to horde gold in my book -- 10-hour commissions + daily raids (including the ones that only give 300g/per) + daily and weekly quests + battle rewards. This stuff adds up when you're not using it to limit break stuff, upgrade equipment, and so on. There are times where I have to waste money on stuff I don't like, such as cat boxes, to get my gold low enough to do more commissions. :P

One of the keys to recovering gold is, once you get it to a certain amount, never let it truly deplete. My gold hasn't been below 300K since I maxed it out, and I've gotten better at not wasting cubes on rolling crap I don't want, won't use, and can get in other ways later on (like being added to construction pools). Letting those resources deplete all the way is the true path of suffering.

---

Wait, how do you save coins beyond the cap in Touhou Lost Word? Or are you guys talking about a completely different game?
---

I'm talking about Azur Lane. :P

---

With two games that use cubes we need to start specifying lol

---

Hmm, didn't know there were other gachas that use cubes as currency.

---

Welp, I finally got some stamina when I leveled up in Illusion Connect. But it was 30 <_<

---

I asked on /vmg/ and apparently the cap on coins in Touhou is a soft cap. You can't collect coins from the donation box if you're above the cap, but you can still get/save coins you get from other sources like task rewards. So I don't need to be concerned about not being able to save coins (and therefore not being able to save pulls because pulls take both cubes and coins) because it's still possible.

Touhou Lost Word uses Seal Crystals and God Crystals as its gacha currency, but they look like cubes (and this game has apparently borrowed a bunch of other stuff from Azur Lane) so people have been calling them cubes. Plus the game only just came out last week, so it's fresh in my mind and that's what I thought you guys were talking about.
---

Lol, of course the saber face loving simps voted Jalter's ending by a landslide even though most of the other endings sounded better. I really hate this shitty fanbase.

Dont insulter thy mighty Jalter >:(

I mean I give zero fucks about story and stuff but shes my number one unit. Max grail, skill, NP, etc :3
