Looks like this week's Azur Lane update involves a download from your store of choice, so if you haven't already The Catgirl Fondler remember to bind your account.

Yeah, I bound my account from the start, it's always the first thing I do since I don't bother with re-rolling.

Anyway, I've managed to get SP3 to *3 and amassed enough collab points for a Ritsuko and Azusa dupe. I doubt I'm going to even clear SP4 much less do anything else with it.

I believe on the rerun, pulling limiteds gives you 100 shards of them. In terms of grinding though, that's only available to the freebie ones given out.

And yeah 3* should be fine if you're not tryharding.

So Priconne players, how did your x3 hard go? I refreshed on Jun and Djeeta every day and was lucky enough to get them both to 4*. I'm really going to miss it, but at least next event gives out Jun shards.

Got Jun up to 4* now and slowly working on getting her, Ninon, Akino and Shizuru to 5* and slowly working on Djeeta, but gonna waiting until I pull her as not in desperate need for what she brings.

Pulled some shards, definitely not enough to get Jun or Djeeta to 4*, but it's a start.

1) Will there be a way to grind shards for Summer Tamaki in a future event/re-run, or are divine amulets the only way to raise her stars?

We won't quite be able to farm shards, but sometime in a future update they should add a Master Shop, where you can spend Master coins obtained from quests and Sacred Ruins while at level cap. A lot of limited character shards end up here, though you can't use the shards to unlock the character, only for ascension and UE. You can only buy 10 of each shard a month from this shop.

For now, amulets are the only way to ascend her, since I'm pretty certain the Master Shop is a ways off for global.

I did the battles every day for Djeeta, Ninon, Shinobu, Akino, and a few others, but I didn't use gems to refill for extra shots at them. I'm also still unable to beat Jun's stage at all (much less 3-star it to be able to use skip tickets) so I couldn't make any progress on her.

I'm pretty sure none of my characters actually went up a star at all, except maybe Aoi from 1 star to 2 or 3 stars.
---

I had success with a Summer Karyl team for Jun's stage. All my other teams simply didn't do it.
I'm working on getting Kaori to 5* because apparently she's quite important, lol.

---

Yeah, limited are never farmable. Only prize gacha reruns, where any single roll can give 0, 1, 5, 20, or 40 pieces.

Jun stage is an absolute pain. Doesn't help that most recommended teams...require Jun (and Makoto)

I was lucky enough to be able to do it with
Lima, Kaori, Ayane, and both Kokoros. Needed to DA Ayane to 3* though since she kept dying to RNG. Not that the RNG deaths stopped entirely, but she was dying before wave 3 a lot of the times before >_>


---

Twin gacha dropped in TKFM.

And I got hit by desire sensor hard. Two rainbows in ~80 pulls and neither of them rateups. One of them was my sixth fucking Mesmiia.

Going through the story now finally to scrounge up more summons.

I'm sad that I wasn't able to get the angel girl from the previous banner in Tenkafuma. I must have pulled over 150 times from her banner and didn't get her or any new SSR at all. At least she's in the permanent pool so maybe she'll spook me later on.
---

Meanwhile, here I am with three of the archangel when I was only aiming for the magical girl. Damn desire sensor.

Anyway, I plowed my way to chapter 6, and only got one more rainbow to show for it. Thankfully it was the blue twin.

I'll stop at chapter 7 and work on the event after.

I will say it's kinda hilarious how overpowered I am for this though. Or rather, how overpowered Iblis is.

I'm on my 31st reroll in Blue Archive. Fairly certain this is the longest I've spent rerolling on any game ever :<

---

FUCK. Only now did I notice that my Heinrich hit the absolute max amount of experience, so she wasn't getting anything for Agir <_<

I kinda hoped that they would let experience count, even if the ship wasn't actually benefitting from it :<

"PR EXP is only earned through oil-consuming PvE content (& Operation Siren) with the ships specified under the EXP objectives in the Shipyard. PvP matches, Dorm EXP, Lecture EXP and commissions do not count. The EXP goals are rather large; be prepared for a long grind. Ships who are at an EXP/level cap (i.e. 70/80/90/100~120 depending on limit break, cognitive awakening or EXP hard cap) will still contribute EXP to PR EXP objectives, even if it displays +0 EXP in the combat results."

I want to play this game but I just can't get past the language barrier. Here's hoping Nexon doesn't butcher the global release.

lol

Oh. Well then, back in the lineup captain underboob :3

Oh yeah, and thats good because I was worried OS wasnt giving experience since it didnt show the result screen after battles. Or maybe thats just because I auto everything lol

---

Bah, tried to use as many cubes as I could before the Idolmaster collab ends and got sabotaged by a lack of coins of all things.

Anyway, I ended up with another copy of Iori and Chihaya, at least one Ami, and two Mami.

Haruka is the only one I'm going to miss out on it seems, unless I somehow managed to get 7k coins in the next few hours to use my last 10 cubes, and even then there's no guarantee.
---

FUCK IT. I'm keeping this account already. 46 rerolls over 4 days was torture D:

At the very least I got Aru and some chick named Maki who's pretty entertaining

---

Whew... Oh boy I had to get to the pity rate boost before rolling her. Ngl, it was really nerve wrecking because I wasn't sure if I would get another full pull by the end of her banner. I guess it doesn't matter too too much even if I failed to get her because she'll be added to the general banner and all, but man... bless the boosted rates. 9.5% to pull her is honestly pretty generous for post 50 pulls.

Anyways, random vouch for Alchemy Stars. I think out of the recent gachas, this game has been the most fun, especially after a long string of just trying gachas and quitting a few days later. Also really appreciative of the gameplay design when it doesn't suck like Spire F43, which I've broke through with 2 of the elements now

Also the devs have been very generous and responsive, which I hope continues

---

I'm still playing Tales of Crestoria and having tons of fun. Any new Gachas yall playing?

Blue Archive is the newest thing I started :3

What kinda game is that?

I play on Android and I live in America. Don't see it on the Playstore.

---

It's an auto-battler, similar to Princess Connect IIRC. Haven't looked too much into the gameplay.

You don't see it on the store because AFAIK it hasn't released for the US yet. I assume YugiNoob is playing the JP version.

Yeah, its currently only in Japanese, but itll come out in English this year I think. It has some similarities to Priconne with shards, auto attacking, auto skills, EX skills that you can use manually, hard mode stages that you can do 3 times a day for more shards, and some other stuff I cant recall offhand. But battle is on a 3D map where the girls will run around and take cover behind stuff. And although the girls move around automatically, some of them have skills that let you reposition them. Its pretty fun.

And like Girls Frontline, all the girls use firearms. Although unlike GFL, the weapons are much more varied. There are basic guns like sniper rifles, SMGs, handguns, machine guns, assault rifles, etc. but there are also grenade launchers, girls that dual wield shotguns or SMGs, and someone has a weapon that has an acronym RG which I have no clue what that is since I dont have her (since most weapons are obvious like AR/MG/HG, and they have a silhouette of the weapon). Hell, one character drops a fucking tank in to follow your squad and provide back up lol. That skill costs all 10 bars of super meter though lol

Two big things that make me love it more than Priconne though:

• No skip tickets; the only limit is your stamina
• Characters will never get weaker when you upgrade their equipment lol

Oh yeah, one thing that I dont really care for about the combat is that it uses random skill cards. So your team consists of 4 guys who are on the field of battle, actively moving and attacking, and 2 designated supporters who never see the light of day. They just do their special skill every so often. But all 6 characters have their EX skill cards shuffled together and you get access to 3 at a time, and the only way to get new ones is to use them so another one can pop up.

I dropped Crestoria earlier this year, just got bored of it. Right now, I'm still playing the same four games I mentioned back on the first page:

* D4DJ Groovy Mix
* Princess Connect ReDive
* Revue Starlight ReLive
* Tenkafuma

I don't see any upcoming English releases that I might try outside of maybe that Konosuba game (but I'm hesitant because Nexon is handling it) and I haven't played a JP-only game since last year when I tried out World Witches: United Front for like a month or so.

They recently released new Kanata, Misella and Vicious who are unbelievably broken right now. Free Sorey unit and even a new summonable SSR Arena unit (Stahn's little sister).

I'm looking forward to that new Dragon Quest gacha.

All I know about Blue Archive is that Hina gets a lot of lewds. For good reason.

Hang on, did I just get a brain injury that caused my Japanese to get all messed up, or did you say Hina, that loli who looks like shes 12 :<

---

No lewds of Hina should exist in a universe that has Hasumi



---

White-haired lolis exist to be lewded.

See: Witch Abby, Kokkoro, E*S Vlad, etc.

Lol so the Re:Zero collab in Epic 7 is under major fire for being some random 5 minute story with seemingly no effort put in other than the character design and skill animations, and this is after the excellent Guilty Gear collab and having teased a major collab for about a year.

So people are speculating that Re:Zero was basically a backup collab they had to scramble to get out ASAP because the collab they actually wanted ended up falling through. Certainly a big possibility of this being true. Because I swear they were teasing this collab like a few months after I quit, which feels like an eternity ago, so even I know that this was a long time coming.

---

Does Blue Archive have guaranteed shard drops?

As for what Im playing, still Azur Lane, Princess Connect (at least until the free daily 10-roll ends), and Counter:Side.

Reminds me of the recent Fullmetal Alchemist collab we had in Last Cloudia.

Literally a 25-30 second cutscene of Alphonse joining in the middle of a battle and that was it. No further story.

I'm not quite sure if they're guaranteed. I spent 4 days rerolling so I haven't gotten to the hard mode yet lol. I mean I did, but immediately after I decided I wanted to dump that account to pursue Aru :<

Lmao I could imagine that. Didn't the Trial of Mana? Secret? Whatever early collab they had also do something similar? That's when I played, and I don't remember it having any special story

Secret of Mana collab didn't even have any story, though it had the Mana Palace as a battleground, music from the game and enemies.

I think they only real story we got in an LC collab was with Dr. Stone.

---

Aaaaand nope. Shards not guaranteed on hard stages in Blue Archive :((

---

Ooooh...That Atelier game is from Boltrend and the JP version hasn't had any new content for a year. I'm glad I didn't try it lol

---

Holy crap, Princess Connect being unbelievably nice to me during this half anniversary.

Pulled a Shizuru today, who I have enough shards to 5* right away. Only missing character now is Illya, who I'm not spending DA on anyway.

---

So far in the free pulls, I've gotten Summer Tamaki and a whopping 6 duplicates of 3-star characters I already had, including 3 dupes of Io specifically. In terms of non-limited 3-stars, I'm still missing Anna, Kyoka, Ilya, Jun, and Arisa.
---

Only got Summer Tamaki as a 3* so far, but the only one I'm missing atm the moment is Djeeta as got (un)lucky when pulling for Ilya as got basically everyone but her until almost hitting pity.

---

Let's fucking go!

The only characters I'm missing now are Shizuru, Haach... Ninon, Akino and Rino, though I could get all but Shizuru with shards if I wanted to.

PriConne is definitely the most f2p friendly gacha I've played.

---

Meanwhile, I'm positive rate-up is a lie and think of Priconne as one of the stingiest gachas I've played.

The game is generous but the rates are legit trash most of the time. RNGesus must be looking after y'all.

Yeah, drop rates are terribad D:

IMO Guardian Tales or Azur Lane are among the most F2P-friendly.

Trash is being far too polite most of the time.

Destiny Child feels the most F2P friendly for me. It makes Pconnect look stingy in comparison.

I remember that time I blitzed a stage like 30-something times and only got the equipment item I wanted once <_<
