Someone said that the strongest team should go first and it worked for me.

I can clear it fine if the weaker one go first, but it is such a sad sight that the weaker team had to pick up the slack my 1st team, lol.

As far as I can tell, if you do strong team first, you'll have easier time managing healing and dealing damage without interruptions.
But you also run the risk of getting trashed by the wipe mechanic of the boss in phase 2, so I guess red lantern management becomes crucial or something?

Yknow another I hate about this fight tho? During phase switch, the lantern charge doesn't carry over, yet the death curse does.

Haha I restarted a battle because Akari got hit and the curse exploded right after the cutscene.

Normally it doesn't matter, but then I saw Yuuka died due to the explosion and turns out the curse is AoE, so Yuuka died when they were looking for position (lol)

I did score -very slightly- better score with my stronger team first.

E: it is a pity that I kind of neglected Mutsuki. Her mines are nuts.

Good girl Kama.

10 floors left of this hell.

Requires specific setups / positioning, but if you can make her mines hit, she's crazy good. Also look forward to using her on Kaiten.

I'm very hyped for Mutsuki NY instead:

Massive field swipe, 2 cost, blue, great crit balance and self-buff uptime.

I finished the event completely 4-5 days ago. Went a little too hard. Twas exhausting. Now I find my Castoria, Summer Abby, and Melusine funds threatened by someone I never knew existed.

If it makes you feel better, she has a summer 4* berserker form in two years.

I would've liked to go hard for her, but since Yang destroyed me, I might have to settle for the ~40-something rolls I have.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of her though, her NP was memed for ages.

Huh, nope definitely missed this meme. Aside from a few meta servants here and there and standout waifus like Melusine, I truly am quite in the dark about JP FGO. I wonder if I can sneak in a few rolls while fairy with pointy stick is looking the other way...

Oh, I have got the position.

What she just needs is freakin skill levels; it is insane that changing Akari for her and getting her to right position makes the first team be able to down Hiero to 200k-300k.

Sadly that's probably the most I could go. Really lacking in tech notes and blu-rays, not even taking the artifacts into account.

The current side story in Miku gacha is quite great. Mizuki was already amongst my favorite, and this story is pretty much at her best. I also pulled her event's 4*, which has quite a beautiful art.

But yeah I mean it's really obvious from the N25's main story, but Mizuki is a crossdresser. The side story has her in the middle school days. I mean I guess I have no way of knowing whether or not she actually identifies as a girl or she's straight and likes cute things, but oh well for the sake of simplicity, I'm just gonna call her a she

Also AS's side story is also really good. It has a lot of intrigue, like prior to the side story, it was never really suggested that the AS world was a post-modern society world where humans were succeeded by Aurorians. Turns out there was a long blurb outside of the game that detailed everything as to why the world is the way it is. There's actually an explanation for why some of the Aurorians have other animal features, which pretty much has to do with adaptability.

But they introduce a LOT of characters in this one. I don't even think a 2nd round of gacha would be enough. They'd have to do like 3 rounds? Unless the daughters of the explorer aren't gonna be made available

Does anyone play Hero Cantare? Im confused as to why Im losing to bots in the arena whose power is 80K less than me :<

Im also struggling to decide on who to use. Right now Im usually using Crusade Mira, Queen No-Name, Chloris, and Maschenny, but I want to stick God-Killer Zero in there when I get that event ticket that lets you choose a maxed out character. Although I may just use that on Queeny since I like her look more and itll refund the upgrade materials so that I can put into GKZ :3

Tried making Serika as tank.
AI pathing causing everyone to bundle up in the back.
ALL of Hiero's attacks are AoE.

In the end the score is the same with Yuuka as a tank instead.

I think I have reached my limit.

Surely I will be kicked out of 10k range, oh well.

You're not the only one who struggles, so IMO, if you're able to clear hardcore, you'll probably stay platinum.

I'm done gearing Azusa and Hibiki, so next is Serina, hopefully I'll make her bracelet T5 in time and hopefully it'll let her 1shot lanterns...

While I can clear hardcore, my current position is at 9700 something (lol)
That's not exactly a good mark.

Guess it really depends on which region you live in.

In other news, today I realized you cannot red lantern cancel the wipe mechanic, lol.
Had to pull out a third team to finish it off.

#1 scores in my PGR guild! Yah!

Think I have to give up on these "Growth" missions in Alchemy Stars, they're asking for absurd things like clearing Chapter 6 when I'm still stumbling through Chapter 3, or characters with second ascensions when I'm just now getting characters their first. All of this with less than a week before the missions expire.

Also have to worry about this side event where again, I'm not exactly powerful enough to get through it easily.

Yeah AS was really hard early on. Bit then it becomes really easy later. And then really, REALLY hard when it comes to the Legendary Aurorians trials. I could only clear 2 stages on the lowest difficulty :<

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/2/7/AAZs-EAAC3mb.jpg

So yeah, that makes the next rate ups obvious.
Next: Koharu + Hifumi
Afterward: Azusa Summer + Mashiro Summer

lol Binah, I have Maki and Cherino, soon Koharu, so it'll likely be a complete joke of a fight
Aris 3/4/4/4, Izuna 3/4/4/4, Haruna 3/7/1/7, Chise 3/4/4/2, Karin 3/1/4/7 if I recall correctly. I'll need to upgrade their gear tiers, but otherwise, they're ready to deal some real pain to SRKR, too.

When it comes to pyroxene, Nexon was quite generous, so it does look like I'll have enough ready to roll Summer Azusa.

I want Shun to stare at at reco lobby.
I want Shun.
I need Shun.

I don't have Shun....

I guess I'll move my goalpost and save for Ako instead. Koharu will zero my stock anyway.

How strict is Girls Frontline when it comes to macros? I hate these events where you have to repeat stages over and over everyday for currency. This is made worse by the fact that I hate this event in general even more <_<

Eh, I never use one. I simply do them like usual and planning mode them (which is ironic considering I detest Arknkghts' auto deploy which is braindead).

...actual reason is I don't know how, but also I am deathly afraid of such things so I play safe.

Nice!

Wew boy. Incoming 8 gig download in FGO.

It's not my run but I still thought it was impressive. Gabriel is not an easy boss.

Grand Blue Babel Tower, 4th stage, max risk, solo Bianca Veritas (SSS+, maxed with perfect resonance skills), no dodge gauge buff taken

https://youtu.be/96m2OhwZauM

And for added measure, someone did a run with Bianca Zero on the same stage, max risk

Bloody hell, how do you get 38K points for the Azur Lane event? I can only get like 250 per EX run, and them tickets be limited. Granted, I leave it on auto, but in my defense, its insane to have to do so many manual runs :<

I just hope I can see all the event story stuff, especially when I'm still new to the game's original cast and world (as opposed to the collab one).

It's always been one of my biggest grievances with a mobile game if they lock up event stories behind extreme difficulties that no F2P could reasonably overcome. They want to do that with materials and premium currency? Fine, let those be the whale/vet only goodies, but don't bar me from just watching the darn cutscenes.

So far Alchemy Stars hasn't done that, but I know it was a large part of why I dropped things like Arknights, Priconne, and Battle Divas (even if that last one had a shoddy translation that made the plot mostly incoherent anyway).

You continue to get points beyond the 15 for a difficulty level. So if you were to spam difficult, you could get as many points as you have oil to burn. Im only at 22k atm cause I dont care to burn that much.

You can do every non-optional event stuff. They're specifically designed so they're beatable for most players. The challenge stuff that gets unlocked a week later typically are designed to either be ultra difficult for the long time players to indulge in or have varying difficulty scale that doesn't punish the lower difficulty that much

Also lul man Battle Divas was certainly a thing wasn't it? It had utter bullshit difficulty but I hesitate to say that I enjoyed quite a bit of it, largely owed to completely lucking into the most op unit and her gears at the time

Father forgive me for I have simped!!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/4/1/AAR4TaAAC38h.jpg

A lot of new stuff in PriConne coming today/soon. Today we have the start of free daily 10-pulls (but save the one for today until after the PriFes banner starts later in the day), a new level cap, and a new story chapter, plus we also have a new grotto level, a new dungeon, and the long-awaited Princess Arena bracket reshuffle coming within the next two weeks.

Do I pull for Muimi now or exercise self control and wait till my free pulls are done?

I think what might hold me back is not being able to ascend anybody a second time because I don't have access to the stages that drop those mats, so I'm having to juggle the event and main story progress. Useful then, that the event has its own type of energy to spend.

As for Battle Divas, sometimes I still miss the robot catgirl and slutty vampire nun.

I'm gonna exercise self control as... kinda gotta given Valentine Shizuru took me almost to pity. Probably worth just waiting as not sure anything immediately absolutely requires her.

(I am sure something will prove me wrong)

I couldn't clear last month's Luna Tower EX floor, but I won't have her built up by the time this month's comes.

At least Eriko is very poggy now.

I didn't remember that game until you mentioned them. I quit it within a few days of release because of the horrible translation. It popped up on steam a few months later with the same horrible translation under the name Battle Star lol.

Wow I have the worst good luck when trying to get Muimi. First I used a single ticket I had floating around. Got Makoto. Then I did 6 pulls and got Nozomi, Christina, and Ilya, who I already have :<

PriFes rateup is a lie. Get used to pulling off-banner 3*s, and honestly, count yourself lucky if you're not me and go 100+ pulls without a single 3*.

Looks like my FGO luck recovered a little. Kirakira Archer came home without too much fuss.

This was supposed to be year of the tigergirl but I just keep getting smothered in dragongirls instead. Keeping warm this season either way~

I spent a bit more to get NP1 Cotton Candy girl than I'm proud of, but she should be the last surprise servant of the year. I looked at the year ahead and didn't see anyone else I would want.... just Castoria, Summer Abby, and maybe the fifth and final spishtar. And I just learned that I need Koyanskaya and Oberon to make my Melusine shine. Heheheh, I'm in danger.

It feels weird listening to people talk about pulling for these PriFes characters when I'm sitting on almost four entire sparks worth of gems but just don't feel like pulling because the characters don't interest me. I pulled Summer Peco in about 20 pulls, Christina in about 80 pulls, and (aside from the free pulls the game has occasionally given out) that's literally all I've pulled for in the entire year the game has been out.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/8/4/AAZs-EAAC4OY.jpg

The best healer in the game is next.

I used 100 pulls in the Prifes banner, got like 7 3*, none of which are Muimi of course.
I'll wait till my free pulls are done before I spend any more.

And yes, brave Tiki has me pogging out of my gourd!

I'm a shameless metaslave, so lots I've skipped out on, and not really many that otherwise appeal to me so far really.

And I managed to get Muimi on my 2nd free pull, so time to rank up and figure out how many stars I should get her up to.

Year 1 Priconne is boring, after all.

Neneka is when it's really time to roll.

Heh, I just used my free pull today for a total of 7 to get another non-Muimi 3 star as well. PriConne be cruel :<
