Current Events > Gacha Game General Topic 29: ''Faster Than Diablo Immortal's Score Dropping''

(+) Yeah! (+)

I remember there was one game that was so bad that I dropped it right away. I dont remember what it was, but there were no bonuses to start, you had to complete the first chapter to even roll, and you had to delete/reinstall to reroll. That was a big fat nope from me <_<

Geez, it's a good thing I finished rerolling when I did.

I knew early-game Priconne was rough in the first few years, but not having an all-in-one healer/tank like NY Kokkoro really puts things in perspective.

I'm making do with Jun for tanking, Io for charm stall, and Ayane for stuns/Puukichi Full Swing, but still.

Priconne global news:
https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2022/06/27-1/princess-connect-re-dives-seasonal-specialties-rally-on-with-makoto-summer

S!Makoto gacha will run 7/4-7/14, while the summer Caon event (with S!Kaori welfare) will run 7/4-7/17. S!Tamaki/S!Suzume prize gacha 7/14-7/19. Nothing else particularly noteworthy, except that double Normal and double Hard are not on the upcoming rotation events, as it goes from double Sanctum to double Dungeon mana. Maybe they're trying to line up double drops with CB or chapter releases again?

That would be much better than what's happened the last two double drops events.

EoM has 7 days login worth of 3100 crystals for 31st anniv of Mana series.

More for stash \o/

The beta patch for the new Bianca frame dropped on CN, so some people are getting the chance to try her out. Being a beta, the adjustments to the frame's balance aren't final and they still have to add voices but it looks like she's a strong physical attacker but not to the point of leaving existing phys characters, Alpha, Lee, and the Nier team, in the dust. At full power, she edges them slightly but not enough to be a big deal.

At the very least, this new frame looks like something for lazy players who don't want to keep switching between Alpha and Lee or the Nier team for Pain Cage and War Zone; she can do both equally well.

So this is a thing lol

I wouldn't say that the rates are that bad, plus the pity is good since it lets you choose, so he could tier whore for Sirius. And none of the 5 stars are flat out unusable unless you want to focus heavily on PvP. In which case oof, he should've rerolled for meta lol

Hokutou, as I've read, has been nerfed a bunch for some reason from the closed beta, and right now she's literally like one of the bottom 3 units in the entire game. Her kit is Kayron from E7, who was also absolute horse doodoo on release, but the thing about Kayron is that he was just about the first really bad 5* in E7 in general, and he was very hastily buffed til he was meta for a long time but not op.

My infinite re-roll criteria was just "one of the *5 foxgirls + plus as many 3-4* cat/bunnygirls as I can get". Guess I was fortunate when I ended up with Ginga instead of Hokutou, though I still wouldn't mind getting her later anyway.

I don't know if anyone on here plays FFRK. It's by DeNA, same company that makes Pokemon Masters. FFRK just announced that they're closing (probably just global) on 9/29 :'(

Can't say I played it. In fact I think it's the *only* Final Fantasy gacha I never played, but ultimately skipped because I didn't care for the others (especially the stuff from Gumi).

Oh IDK if people missed it or just no one plays the game but the main artist for Epic 7 quit after several censorship controversies.

Here's his farewell

Good on them.

One day developers will learn that censorship pushes people *away*, not brings them in.

It was literally the same shit as DFFOO except without the BRV/HP split.

I think I have to disagree about that good sir. Other than them both being FF crossovers, the games had virtually nothing in common.

Ako should be online in Blue Archive now, right?

Gonna pull for her now. Whether I continue playing or not is another matter.

Lmao I forgot to do Priconne's summer event story. RIP jewels.

Is OG Saren serviceable? I have like 180 of her shard.

Note that some of these may still be in testing.

For now, she's not particularly notable, now that we have more TP batteries. She's not bad, but kind of overshadowed for now. How useful she is really depends on what other units you have, due to how her TP battery works (targets the closest ally to her).

ugh they got me

This hits too close to home, lol.

Lol at a previous shithole start up I worked in, 50% of my time was spent on playing gacha. I got a lot done during that time. Not work wise cuz that project was fucking dead in the water due to poor management, but in gacha.

*Blue Archive*
Got a Tsurugi in 30 rolls.
Ako in 60 rolls.
Very lucky there, but raising Ako is a nightmare coz she requires these new artifacts.

Did a test run on Binah Extreme.
Reminder, compared to previous Binah (bugged), this one has like 20% more HP or something and is less likely to be stunned.

Previous Binah extreme clear without Ako, borrowed a second Maki:
Barely won on last seconds after a ton of retrying with 4 teams.

Today's Binah extreme clear with Ako, borrowed a second Ako:
Easily wrecked it in 3 teams with minimal retrying.

(swap all tanks to slot 1, because otherwise your characters get grouped and AoE'd to death)

I can actually beat the 2nd to last difficulty manually for the crit chance hunt in AG. But they just like way overtuned the centaur chick it feels like... I'm building a Nao on the side to deal with her, but my resources have been rock bottom in this dumb fucking game for a while now. The money cost vs money income in this game is somehow worse than E7, and that's despite not requiring the player to waste a bunch of money fishing for good upgrades

Dismantling/Selling any gear that does not have Luck stat in EoM...

Most of my +20 are like that lmao.
Start all over again.

Yeah starting to think I'll never play a randomized gear system ever again. I just don't have the luck for them to begin with, and that's always on top of gacha luck, which I'm only lucky in games I give no shits about lmao

Fyi the left side gear main stats are fixed.

I know about that, and I know the right-side ring gear cannot have Luck main stat.

But getting at least one in sub can do wonders, sometimes, seeing how stupid its effect on PWR compared to other stat rolls.

Started Bloodline Last Royal Vampire. Rerolled twice for Eren and he's the meta breaker right now. Kills everything so far.

So...the top 100 players in AG all have Alice in their team. I'm getting Shimakaze flashbacks, except at least in Azur Lane you could restart for free if you're screwed over by RNGesus, and didn't have to wait half an hour to refresh :<

There is a new Angela in EoM gacha (Salamando this time and lots of...hearts) and the new event will give us welfare Salamando Mousseline.

I see the devs still hardass won't give us new Luna/Dryad aligned characters,

I wanted to enjoy the game but it was just kinda boring and currency gain seems bad.

Lmao cleared that 3rd dungeon in Priconne by borrowing that fully-armored knight (who overleveled that golem dude) and throwing all my characters one after the other.

It reminds me of 1+4 leveling/farming strat in some games.

Well AG kinda screwed up how extra turns work. They don't reset the turn counter, or CR I will call it as it was in E7, which means you can attack boost somebody about to go and give them 2 whole turns in a row.

Giving any carry 2 turns in a row is just gonna be op

How do I beat this stage in 2 turns :<

You can do it in 1 turn if you put an assault ship on the assault point and a cruiser or armored ship behind it. Move the assault forward, swap the other ship, move 2 forward and defeat the two waves enemy, end turn and the boss attacks you, and done. That doesnt get you the silver objective though, so you do that on a second run.

Ooooh, I was trying to kill all the enemies <_<

Okay, got Hatsune from the shop.

Now what else these Princess arena coins for.
I don't really have a 3rd tank (Princess arena trolled me hard) so should I go for the pudding ghost or hope for the best from gacha (or hard mode Shizuru shard)?

Tennousu posted...

Miyako shards first probably (to unlock and upgrade, or just for upgrading if you pull her in gacha). Then if you're focusing on PvE, Kaori shards next then Anna shards. If you're focusing on PvP, Tsumugi shards then more Hatsune. Suzuna is low priority either way, due to being usually worse than the other archers at present.

So pudding ghost and Kaori.
I got Kaori from gacha so that lessens stuff a bit.

I actually already leveled Suzuna because she is a cutie, ahahahaha-
But good to know that I should not buy her shards.

Yeah, quite a few chessboard missions can't be 3 starred in one go.

Got a 2nd Crimson Wizard after clearing his floor in Twillwool Tower.

All these Luck stats are worth it.

Dude is pretty cracked as long as he still has his MP and I didn't know his support skill already gives more than Mousseline (fire) at max.

Or rather, Exploder is stupid.

That fully armored gal in Priconne is really something.
You punch her she gets healed.

And then one regal blonde with dimension slash-like UB is pretty nuts as well.

Yeah, Jun and Christina are really good and are used a lot in Clan Battles and the Tower of Luna. Christina is limited and only pullable from PriFest banners, but you can grind Jun shards somewhere in the hard mode stages. Can't remember which one(s) though.

Jun is from 14-3 and 22-3 hard stages.

Well FGO players, tomorrow morning the entire meta of the game is going to shift. Arts will reign supreme. Catoria drops tomorrow at 5 am EST. She is the most OP servant in the game and flips everything on its head. Remember to spend responsibly.

In counterside is there a better way to get the event shop currency than grinding it out 10x at a time in the hard mode? I wanted to buy the sedan but that thing would suck all my stamina and then some.

Not really. During events you pretty much use the majority of your stamina to skip the last stage until you clear out what you want from the shop (using unleveled units of course to kill two birds with one stone). It helps a bit if you save the mail stamina for events, though personally I didnt have to touch any of the stuff in the mail to clear out the shop. Youll eventually be able to buy the sedan from the hanger for 500k or 1mil gold (I cant remember which), but thats a looong way off.

Not sure why you say 10x at a time specifically though. You can skip up to your current stamina at once.

Wow Ako caused Blue Archive EU to reach the point where even clearing Extreme will barely earn me the Platinum (almost #1800 and #2000 is last one).

With a bit of luck my Ako will be 5/7/4/10 tomorrow though.

Roadmap:
July: Cherino (Onsen) -> Nodoka (Onsen). New story and PvP S3 (Aris speciality lol)
August: Aru (NY)+Mutsuki (NY) -> Serika (NY). New story.
September: Wakamo+Chihiro+Sena -> Mimori. Izuna rerun. lv78, Commissions J, Craft Restructure, Insane difficulty, missions chapter 17

I'll do GSSR another time.

Well it only took about 130 pulls to get Artoria. With 70 of those being fucking single tickets <_<

They seriously need to make it so you can pull 10 at a time with tickets
