Yeah but I was wrong, apparently it was open temporarily for a 30 minute network test.

At least I was able to snag Alice on the free reroll banner. Back to waiting again.

So its scheduled for a total of 24 hours of maintenance lol

Would you happen to know if every character is available on the reroll banner? Or are they gonna be dicks and leave out some :<

Oof

Yes, every character is available in the reroll banner and you can get multiple 5*s. I started a new account to reroll with the compensation and ended with Dracula, Winter Queen, and Dorothy. Looks like we get a free 5* ticket for one of the log in bonuses too.

So we get 2 free 5 star tickets then :D

Larc banner is live.

1x 10 discounted but no dice

Oh well.

Well now. The massive amount of apology summons allowed me to get literally every single character I wanted while only doing the reroll banner twice :D

I really wanted Tamamo, Kaguya, Winter Queen, and Alice, but was willing to settle just for WQ if need be. But I got so lucky with the rolls I figured that I might as well pick up the only 5 star healer while Im at it lol. Holy shit I just had the biggest gacha scare. Right after I celebrated my luck I saw on the Discord that they're going to roll the game back into open beta and my heart skipped a beat. But when they said that account progress would be saved I let out a huge sigh of relief lol

Nice account.

I saw that communication from the dev. Despite the shit show of a launch, they've handled it pretty well with being fully transparent with the player base. Gotta respect that.

I never knew I can just auto the 3rd Priconne dungeon boss with comparably similar or better result than me running manually....

It takes two runs though. Jun (that's the armored knight's name right?) is OP.

Whoops, almost pressing shop Reset one too many times.
So the reset cost increases after 3rd reset, huh?

Jun is fantastic. She's a bulky tank against both physical and magical attacks, she occasionally heals a teammate or herself, and she can also lower the opponent's defense against your physical attacks, increasing your team's damage output. She's one of the best and most versatile tanks in the game.

She's also very cute when you eventually get to see her face under all of that armor.

Being able to do this makes me happy.

Ironically considering how LoM protag is a Master-of-Everything this is pretty much weapon swap.

(The 3rd one is gearless lmao)

Hope I can get her in gacha sometimes.

Finally caught up on Stronghold! That last fight was pure BS. It took me a while to figure out what I was doing wrong there.

Now I gotta start Border Pact and try to catch up...

I'm almost at Authority lvl 25 in the event currency stages. Once I get there, I can start skipping the fights and just collect the rewards. >_>

Well, I officially hate the Free Contract mode in Counterside. I need to finish the second chapter to get the last mission of A. Yuna's stuff, and I absolutely loathe it.

Im guessing its the ship movement you hate? That used to be in all the story stages too. We have it so easy in Global.

The system itself is not a bad idea it's just not used very well and places an additional burden on getting 3 medals. Like it was actually literally impossible for me to get 3 medals on some of the maccready event stages because I didn't have ships with the right movement abilities.

I hate both the movement and ammo. Also why does only one of my ships have its normal movement range? My level 90 ship can move in a rectangle, but my other armored ships can only move in a square. Same for support ships, regardless of their type.

No idea. I've never had that problem. Only time a ship won't follow its movement pattern is if it's someone else's that you are calling in as support. As for ammo, it gets even more annoying when you get to the stages that have the resupply point beyond a large number of enemy groups. Then again, for most maps, resupplying is only if things don't work out correctly.

Huh, sometimes yolo summon tickets deliver

Every ship has it's own movement you get a preview when building it or forming your team.

That was literally the reason why I stopped playing the SEA version.

The thing is that it says that a ship has the rectangle movement, but it actually doesn't :<

I don't really understand Danger Close. Does it just take the best score you did over the active period or does it accumulate across failures?

Best score.

Huh. I don't remember there being a prerequisite.

I believe you have to clear up to a certain dive level. Or chapter? All I know is that I dont have access lol

Ah, chapter 4. I really should just get it done with since it says Im 45% through lol

Best girl's birthday is today (tomorrow for us, it's already the 12th in Japan) in Revue Starlight and her birthday card is... very nice.

Now there's a demon king that I would worship. I pulled her in 8 steps and my banana collection is still at a perfect 21 out of 21.

I tried DBZ Dokkan Battle again since it's the 7th anniversary. The added auto mapping and battlees is nice but holy shit, trying to pull both of the new LRs is beyond godawful. Soooo many wasted summons and it doesn't appear that you can even pity them. I'm already burnt out after a few days.

May I just say that I hate that boss in the Arknights event whos basically 3 bosses in 1? She resurrects like Frost Nova, slips past blocking units like Crownslayer (except to make things worse, she does damage with that), and she cloaks herself and has ranged attacks like Faust :<

Silverash to remove invisibility and then any burst unit says byebye to the event boss.

I just use Silverash S3 to burst the first phase, then Excusia and Warfarin to buff her, to kill her 2nd phase. Easy as piss. Did try without someone to remove her invis and definitely wasn't so fun.

I forgot how I killed her other than using Eyja to blow up her first form then SilverAsh to see her second and some other burst damage unit. I think swimsuit Chen helped slow her down?

Mini Yuna :D

Yeah I tried most of the stuff out in CS and wasn't entirely impressed. I think it still has some of the best story modes of the gachas, which isn't a high standard to begin with as I personally think most gacha stories are poorly developed and poorly written. But CS was like pretty entertaining in the story and some parts of the combat.

But man I played Danger Close and was like ok... This is just the same shit but this time the score accumulates into some mysterious rewards. Then the side story started doing the really jank ship stuff, which is like nearly impossible to 3 star with mostly 1 range movement.

Of course I already expressed what I feel about its bad PVP rotation, and all of that accumulates into me not giving a shit

I mean I'm mostly gacha free now, but if CS kept my interest, I would've kept with it.

Not that it matters since youll probably not be back, but

The rewards arent really mysterious when theyre listed right there. Danger Close is far from my favourite mode, but its thing is countering the bosss mechanics at specific points in the fight more so than the other modes while having to divide up your forces between the two fights. Its probably supposed to remind us of multiphase boss fights in action rpgs. That being said, you only really need to do that if youre pursuing the top rankings. The points rewards (which are the main stuff) can all be got by failing the highest difficulty.

Luckily The Old Fear should be the only event that uses the ship mode. Im surprised they didnt remove it there since Global has ship mode removed from stuff that the older servers still had it in until a few weeks ago. The 3 star objectives are with the assumption you have 1 ship of each movement type which isnt too hard to do by building low rarity ships and then just not leveling them. I assumed most people would have most of the movement types from having to have ships for dives but I shouldnt have made that assumption.

I hate PVP in all gachas so I wont defend it much, especially with the upcoming changes to Strategic, but it does get less flavour of the month when the main PVP units get released. Like for example A. Lee Sooyeon apparently remains meta in PVP even though she was the third awakened banner in KR.

Cherino unlock in this event.

Time to 5/10/10/10 my Cherino and hopefully 4* her!

There were something confusing about what you can get via whatever crazy currency. I don't remember anymore, but the point system for all the rewards weren't very clear to me either. Either way, it kinda just felt like yet another boss fight mode, but you do the same one over and over? I didn't exactly have enough units and equipments to make much of a damage difference. I mean I dedicated quite a bit of farming for things for this game, so to feel that helpless and basically end up sticking with a single strat was not a positive sign for me.

Oh... okay then. It's not the collab I started playing this game for, but it's still a pretty nice one.

I'm tempted to pull for Ryza but I want to try for Lila first. Does anyone know if their banners overlap?

They do. Lilas (or as lemurmoo would call her, CDom lol) banner comes out next week, so be sure to pull for her as shes top tier in both PvE and PvP :D

I already pulled for Ryza since I don't care about meta and she's cuter. I might pull for Lila as well, but I'm not totally sure.

It says in-game that the Ryza banner ends on August 1, and the guide website says that the Lila banner comes a week after the event starts. So if I'm understanding it right, yes, both should be active at the same time.

Priconne Global news:
https://www.crunchyroll.com/en-gb/anime-news/2022/07/12/princess-connect-re-dive-celebrates-its-15-year-anniversary

TL;DR: S!Maho runs 7/19-730, followed by Diabolos gacha 7/30-8/4. Daily free 10 pulls for the 1.5 anniversary start on 7/19 and run through 8/5. Summer Mercurius event rerun 7/19-7/25. Luna Tower 7/18-723, and CB 7/26-7/31. Triple normal drops 7/19-7/25, and triple hard 7/25-7/31.

Pretty much as expected. Daily free pulls last all of S!Maho's banner and the Diabolos banner, with up to 20 pulls left at the end for Prifest. The normal drop increase still doesn't line up with CB, but the hard drop increase does. So there's at least something useful for farming during CB. Also, no story/chapter/level increase this month.

Edit: Forgot to mention we get another Landsol Cup login bonus from 7/19 to 8/5. Extra gems are always useful.

Lol well I played AG to partake in the collab event anyways, so I'll try to pull for them. It's not like I'm actually playing the game tho so if I don't pull Ryza and Lila, I'm probably not gonna be too miffed.

Okay wow that new expedition thing in guardian Tales is pretty hard.

My suggestions:

• On Kill effect cards for everyone
• Use Claude, Marina, Lynn, Coco, basically anything that creates a mobile zone of death around the character. Characters with far reaching skills like Sohee, Arabelle, also okay.
• RIP Bari 2020-2022
• Future Knight with cosmic destroyer is God tier, just don't use the skill at all unless there's a boss or better yet put her on the backline.
• If you got Alef in storage now is the time to bring him out.
• Don't be intimidated by monster level 89 they're weak as fuck there's just hundreds of them.

If I knew the pull tickets couldn't be used for collabs, which I fucking hate when games do this, then I wouldn't have bought the lvl packs and had like way more pulls, but yeah 40 pulls and nothing, so I think that's it for bluestacks in general.

You can use the normal tickets for collabs, you just have to actively go into one of the shops and convert those tickets into ones that can be used.
