I haven't logged into the game today so I can't read the upcoming banners from where I am. +--- 1118120 +>reprint banner is Mama #4, Rag Robin, NY Baum, latest Monika, young Gustave +I am astounded. Once again, they have made a reprint banner with exactly 3 styles I already have (Mama, Baum, Monika), 1 style I really want (Rag Robin) and 1 style I kind of want that would be a nice consolation prize (Gus). It's fucking uncanny how each reprint fits this exact pattern for me specifically. +--- 1118122 +>>1118086 +First two mamas weren't all that different from JP, the only notable change was Mama 2 Skill 3 having a mass heal on top of the global buffs, which was made fully obsolete by Mama 3. +Unless they REALLY rework the next one, and I mean a full rework from the ground up with pretty much all passives redone and sizeable changes to at least Skill 3, then she'll be redundant, Mama 3 stole the tankiness from the upcoming one by getting HPT in GL, and has a perfect combination of native support skills that allow for some serious versatility, this Mama doesn't, or at least won't without heavy reworks, either they make her a godlike BP battery or give her Scrum Guard+HPT, there's many possibly ways they can fix her but they need to go all out because Baum and Hilda are pretty much dead weights for GL's current state and speed, she's already carrying the banner by default but she needs serious buffs to truly carry it considering Anya is virtually not far away at all and will bring much more desirable utility, not to mention Liam 2 being on the same banner, if they want to steal jewels they need to earn that robbery. +--- 1118526 +what the fuck is this pose? +--- 1118606 +>>1118526 +strokin' dem big staff +--- 1118752 +Matriarch S3 also is defense + (your party) and defense down (enemies) + +That's not too shabby all things considered. +--- 1119040 +>>1118752 +It's a skip, children's day banner will be next and there's bow Monika and Thyme there who're more valuable than anything in the Valentine banner. +--- 1119092 +>>1119040 +for me skip all to saruin and esper girl +fuck every other trash we dont even need to do sims anymore zzzzzzzzzzzzzz +--- 1119110 +Thank goodness this is a skip. So children's day banner is round 2, what comes after that? I know there's probably a Saruin coming in the future as I'm seeing and probably Anya with the Liam 2.0 so what should I theoretically wait for that's the kino banner? +--- 1119113 +>>1119110 +>what comes after that? +Who knows, probably the other two Golden Week banners at this point, then it will probably be Mecha megabanner with Genocide Heart raid, Saruin is still far away and Anya's banner comes after the Mecha banner. +It's GL though so you'll never know, the release calendar for 2.0 is almost completely different from JP. +--- 1119270 +Aw fuck, Children's Day Monika already? She was one of my last hopes for bow sim. Silver left me with nothing so I guess I'll skip both her and Valentine's. Man, this is almost as bad as last late Aug/early Sep for me. Guess I'll just save for mecha, the most important banner for me. As an FFLfag, I have my sights on Mech, Death Machine and Talon, plus I like T260G and ZEKE from Frontier. + +How does the super mecha festival banner work, anyway? I know it's 10 new SS styles, which is already wtf, and I think they're the only SS styles in the pool like with reprints. But even then, it'd take hundreds of thousands of jewels to sweep that banner even including pities. Does it have 10% rates like a bottomless? Even if it did, I doubt I could get the 5 styles I'm going for in 45k. +--- 1119287 +>>1119270 +The megabanner has only those ten limited styles on it, so you don't risk getting Hector'd, +So the good news is that if you do get an SS it will always be one of those, the bad news is that you can still get dupes, especially of one of the worse styles on the banner like Rabbit or Zeke, so it's best save until then, this month will probably be fully dedicated to the Golden Week banners so if you skip all the banners you might end up with enough jewels to guarantee at least a pity in the mecha banner. +--- 1119295 +Will Have Some More trigger Golden Baum passive 1? +And is there any content where Paean of Heartthrob will be useful? I feel like using her 4th style spamming Victory or Peace and using Protection during emergencies is still better +Don't have the previous Hilda so don't care +--- 1119305 +>>1119287 +Damn. This unlucky fool's gonna need all the luck he can get. +--- 1119373 +>>1119295 +>And is there any content where Paean of Heartthrob will be useful +Depends on if Mat + 1 other wil buffer is good enough to take status ailments off the table. Answer to said question is dependent on the boss and it's defy/break budget. +Biggest boon is that Int, M.Arts, and to a lesser extent Str characters can be useful in hard content where right now they're hard mogged on by Dex teams for a variety of reasons most importantly due to accuracy. +e.g; JP was using Liamless teams with heartthrob +Additionally, ours is better due to defense +/- allowing slightly less of a discrepancy in outgoing/incoming damage when compared to the reduction forever peace gives even though peace still just wins out due to LOV everywhere else. + +Basically it's alright but if you've got the previous mats. She might also enable alternative boss strats. +But ultimately skippable. + +I'm still rolling her. +--- 1119588 +Hello guys, single pulls Chad here. Pull status? 8 and out. + +>Have you considered joining the 1 pulls? +--- 1119589 +>>1119588 +I will NEVER join the 1 pull chads +--- 1119605 +>>1119589 +You just gotta George Michael'd your way to it bro.

You should consider it + +>You can trust in yourself anon +--- 1119744 +>>1119588 +I'm not the guy who replied to you already, but in every single game I have ever tried single pulls, I have been immensely cursed even beyond my status as the biggest lucklet I've ever encountered on the internet across dozens of gacha generals. I can never do it, I can only be jealous of the single pull chads that constantly surround me and swallow my bitter tears. +Sorry, I'm having a bad night. Congrats on your pulls bro, they're astonishingly good. +--- 1119868 +>>1119744 +Hey man it's ok we've all been there. I actually thought the same so I know that feeling, hope you someday try it just to see how it goes.

She's not a mage, it's not like she has magic that can affect the chocolate. And she's using a DIY chocolate-making kit that's being sold en masse to people all over Vanguard and no other demonic beast incidents are being reported. +Girl's cooking is so bad it literally alters reality. + +Speaking of the Valentine's event, it seems to be the same stat cap as the latest main story chapters which is a shame because I already capped almost my entire roster grinding Liam coins. +--- 1120196 +>>1119110 +Golden week this month followed by robros then liam/anya is my guess. +--- 1120216 +>>1120196 +Not much else they can do. +Anya's banner is the start of the Tension VII generation so they have to get all pre Tension VII stuff out of the way first, and since Children's Day has been prepared before the other two banners we know what this month will be about. +--- 1120221 +>>1120216 +>Tension VII +For what fucking purpose? How does mindless power creep and outdating styles at sonic speed help the game survive? +--- 1120235 +>>1120221 +Tension VII won't magically make your 2.0 styles useless, iirc it's like...a 5% increase compared to Tension VI? The vast majority of the best styles of JP 3.5 don't even use Tension VII anyway, the real meat of the meta from that point onwards will be who has the better chase and BP loops, GLEX Rouge isn't a Tension VII gen style and yet it's vastly better than most of those, same with GLEX Silver or GLEX Darque, Matriarch 4 will still be the go to Matriarch for a long time, Liam 1 can still work perfectly fine etc. +Some degree of powercreep is also inevitable in gacha, whether you like it or not. +--- 1120290 +>>1120196 +I thought Talon had a second style that was part of mecha festival? This is good news for me though, means I only have 4 targets on that banner instead of 5. +--- 1120298 +>>1119868 +Thanks bro. I have 7300 jewels so I decided to do a single pull on the Valentine's banner, hoping doing it on Valentine's Day would help. I got a little excited when the cat and the rabbit both ran across the screen and the machine was all lit up, but it didn't explode. +Ended up getting my favourite girl who has a Valentine's alt, one of my top three gals overall, Ellen. Already got her on her initial banner, but it still felt very fitting for today so I'm not too sad. +Happy Valentine's Day sagabros! +--- 1120378 +>>1120196 +Looks like robot kino is on the menu boys + +>>1120298 +Hey you managed to make the 1st step for the single pulls Chads so don't worry my friend, this is just the beginning.

Enemy keeps avoiding my counter tank and I just had to reset again because one round they used entirely indirect attacks except for one who ignored my tank, meaning I got zero damage and no BP back to use a counter stance again. I have the damage, I just don't have the rng. +--- 1123726 +I am going insane. Scher got the god roll of 2-2-3-2-2 counters over 5 turns on the first try. I have been resetting the Darius fight for over an hour now. I just now got my closest run, but my luck ran out on turn 4 and they only attacked Princess Lion a single time, meaning she couldn't counter at all on turn 5 and it was a wash. My best slash/heat/dark team didn't even reach the 5.5mil I just did, so I don't think I can do this the normal way either. Nothing is more infuriating than putting a counter tank in the highest aggro slot imaginable and watching the enemies completely ignore them and target down people in the back, reduced aggro slots, repeatedly. +--- 1123738 +There we go. Jeez, I'd pay real money for a formation with a 100% aggro slot. +--- 1123776 +>liam's final boss is already a horrible atrocity at first form +kino... +--- 1124754 +>new banner and event were so uninteresting they didn't generate any discussion +>nearly two days since last post +bros... +--- 1125132 +>those Thyme buffs +Guess I'll use THAT to round up the month.

The last mat that everybody puts on a pedestal now was also handwaved off.

Valentine's and Children's Day banners were both ones I've had on my "to pull" list since last year but I've been forced to skip both and if we follow JP's schedule, I am turbofucked by a terrifying lineup as shown here >>1120196 +Undine is my #1 fave girl, she's a mandatory pull for me. Then there's the Super Mecha Festival which is the biggest banner in the history of the game for me; I love robots and I have four faves on that banner I wanna chase. And then there's Liam 2, with Liam being my most used character in hard content. And that's followed immediately by a new, gorgeous Sif who is another big favourite of mine. And then Ellen, my #2 fave after Undine! And a new Asellus/PWR 2 banners later. +I have 21k jewels and I need at least 300-400k to get all my faves coming up. This is going to be the largest, most painful set of skips in the history of the game for me, even eclipsing when I had to skip Borgin, then Human F+Esper Girl, then Bune then Ellen at the end of summer 2022. +--- 1125570 +>>1125132 +>I haven't been playing much often.

Ellen is my #2, she's my fave character only after Undine. And I painfully had to skip her latest axe style. Now it's back on a rerun banner where I have 3 of the styles (missing her and Victoria), plus her new style that I wanted desperately because m. arts are my favourite weapon type tied with axes who sadly get a raw deal in this game AND the new Liam? Liam, my most used character for hard content. There has never been a worse choice between favourites and meta. If the mecha banner came after this, I might quit the game, this sucks so much. + +I have 32k jewels. I will start with Anya's banner. +--- 1136868 +>>1136862 +>first pull on Liam banner +I AM BEING MOCKED +Switching to Ellen's new banner +--- 1136872 +Ellen banner was a trap. Follow meta, not your heart. That's what the game always tells me because it always brutally punishes me for pursuing the characters I like. First pull on Ellen banner was fucking Asura. Then useless Christmas PWR dupe offbanner. Then the only PWR style I'm missing, the weird spring festival one with Saber Ray and Blessed Garden. Then nothing. Then nothing. Then another fucking Asura. This dude looks so useless in my over-saturated m. arts box. +--- 1136877 +>>1136872 +To be fair they buffed Asura's counter stance in GL to be a SSS, which is a kinda big since he's no longer mediocre at his niche, he still has issues with BP cycling but with an SSS AoE counter and his OD gimmick he can have some neat uses. +Anya's banner is still better though, for some reason they gave Liam 2 HPT and his Skill 3 is also dual attribute, Zozma's kinda meh but he's still a decent pick for sword remembrance due to his heal and overall versatility. +--- 1136880 +Ellens red shorts reminds me of Ryza. +--- 1136881 +And then nothing but dead pulls. 38k for nothing. Should've given us 50,000 jewels for logging in instead of 5,000 if they were gonna pull this. +I think I may uninstall after playing this every day since before launch (a couple countries got it early). I don't think I can take this any more. I have nothing left and nothing to look forward to but more crushing disappointment. I nearly quit last late summer/fall but was talked off the ledge by you guys with the upcoming half anni select tickets (which didn't let me get any of the faves I was forced to skip then) and reprints being a thing, but reprints have been nightmares that I can't touch, like the one today. +I am never going to recover from this. This triple skip (which is so much worse than a skip because I'm not saving jewels; I just blew everything for NOTHING of value) already hurts so much and there's a ton of top faves coming right up in this hell period, including that mecha banner presumably. It's never gonna get better. And every time I log in, I'm gonna have to face that. I'm grinding for nothing, for styles I won't be able to get. I don't want to skip everything for months to go in on one reprint that will maybe happen six months in the future and be powercrept to hell while countless styles for my faves pass me by. + +And the worst part is, this experience taints the rest of this awesome series for me, because I'll think of Re;UniverSe whenever I play moments from it in other SaGa games and see the characters that I like who made me quit. +>>1136877 +Yeah, I saw HPT on Liam 2 and was like holy shit he's everything I wanted Liam to have. Another reason to quit though, I'll never have that style. + +Fuck, maybe I should just close the app and sleep on it til tomorrow but I'd just be logging in to an account with zero jewels and no prospects. Another lame thing about quitting is that I won't even get much of my free time back because this game is 99% macro grinding on my laptop in the background. +--- 1136885 +>>1136881 +heh, don't look at all the stuff that's coming out in JP then. +But yeah, such is gacha life, you live and die by RNG, sometimes you get too greedy and get kicked in the balls, me I'm not spending anything anymore until I see the mecha banner, 12K without a single SS pull is too much, I'm already dead set on skipping golden week and the RS1 banners now that they pulled another rug from under my feet, then it's saving until 3.0 so I can make bank on bottomless banners. +--- 1136892 +>>1136881 +Crap like this, and many of my past experiences throwing away 45k JEWels to get nothing, makes me think the global version has false rates. This never happens in the japanese version. Come home sagabro, the current event is giving away a lot of jewels, free remembrance-tier weapons, and much more. +--- 1136896 +>>1136885 +Yeah, JP is horrifying to look at, as they've been getting new things for my faves for like a month straight. I have never recovered from last summer's disaster, I've been living pity to pity for over six months now. I love this game and the characters but the gacha brutalizes me to no end. It's the only game where I've kept track of how many banners I have to go to pity on and it's always been around a 50/50 split which feels pretty awful. Fuck, I'm so split. On the one hand, I know it'd be easy to continue because it's so low maintenance, but is it worth it to skip 99% of what I want so I can get 1% every six months or so? Is it worth this continuous feeling of want gnawing at me as I know I can't even get a decent fraction of my faves? I ended up liking way too many characters. Even if it's less than half the styles that come out, it's still not viable. I set myself up for disappointment liking characters that seem to get a lot of styles. +>>1136892 +Shiieeet, every time I try playing a game in Japanese, I have a bad time and end up dropping it pretty quickly. I know most people don't care about the story and Liam arc has been pretty meh, but I do enjoy reading all the flavour text and comments a lot. It really brings the characters to life for me and the machine translations just don't cut it for me. Without full Japanese fluency, it's a miserable experience for me of a different flavour from the miserable experience I'm having now. Not to mention rebuilding years and years worth of an account from nothing. +--- 1136955 +Single pull Chad here on not my best performance. Did 10 singles and got absolutely nothing so then after months I decided to do a 10 pull after so long. I'm happy with this result but will keep it safe and single for a while. Anya seems lovely and so does Ellen but can't try to force luck sometimes +--- 1136960 +Not sure why this new Pandemonium thing is so easy compared to ancient content like Wastelands that I still can't beat. My Egg team sleptwalk through the final "hardest" stage and would've won if Sherah on the final round didn't decide to nuke Liam for 3000 damage with Crimson Flare after he acted in Tiger's Den, ignoring taunt on Mask and Mask didn't cover, of course. Hopefully a reset will scrub that bad rng. +--- 1136963 +>>1136955 +Well at least somebody here got something, good for you, luckchad. +>>1136960 +Bro it's free, easy jewels and Wyvern remembrance is fucking gigacancer anyway, I'm all for easy jewels. +Speaking of which, the first wasteland still isn't back, which is worrying. +--- 1136966 +>>1136963 +Yeah, I'm desperate for jewels but it had me wondering if I was even doing the right stage and if there's a bunch more behind it to unlock. Fuck, gonna get these 3k and try for Ellen yet again, I need 3000 medals to pity. +--- 1136968 +>Liam on multi 3 +Very nice +Learned the hard way that it's better to stop early, Anya is nice but I can live without her +I really want ND 2 but I already have Liam and Emerald, so her banner is very risky for me +--- 1136990 +Liam 2's revive passive will still work even if he only has 1 LP, right? +--- 1136993 +>>1136990 +Yeah, it's a Guts' type passive so you avoid any LP loss and KO by HP damage for one fight. +It does not prevent getting sapped by LP drain though. +--- 1136999 +>>1136993 +Damn, amazing. This style fixes every problem Liam could ever have except direct LP attacks like you said. I wish I could get him. +--- 1137001 +>>1136999 +Yeah, it's admittedly really, really good, a full upgrade from Liam 1 instead of the sidegrade it was in JP. +--- 1137029 +>Genocide Heart sprites and stages already in Battle Custom +Damn I really hope it's not next week and I get some more time to save. +--- 1137066 +>clear story +>ten pull #14 on Ellen's banner +Guess I'm sticking around. Not sure if Sumire is worth 3000 jewels to finish my pity. I think I'm going to shove every jewel I get in the next two weeks into Liam's banner praying I get him. Will have to skip her axe style and it will be 10 more months before I can get it from a select ticket. And I'm completely fucked for the future. +--- 1137083 +>>1137066 +congrats +--- 1137147 +>>1137083 +Thanks. It was the smallest possible victory on the worst day of 2023 so far, but it was still a win. +--- 1137149 +>>1137083 +Fug, also meant to say I love that pic, it's terrific. +--- 1137176 +somehow got anya and liam within two pulls +--- 1137182 +>>1137176 +Explode and congrats +--- 1137202 +Just a reminder, you can now pay a mere 200 free jewels and triple your inventory for forging weapons. Now if only there was a setting to auto-lock triple SS passives when you make a weapon that has those and I could automate the forging process. +--- 1137244 +This new 1 button weapon upgrade is nice. +--- 1137301 +>>1137244 +YES, it's fucking amazing. +--- 1137343 +Is new Liam better now? +--- 1137476 +>>1137343 +Pretty much a full upgrade to Liam 1, no reason no to get him. +--- 1137487 +Wind chase for the BP is still the go to for Liam? +--- 1137515 +>>1137487 +For Liam 1, yeah. +Liam 2 is kinda different in GL since they buffed Attack Chase, so if you do not need to hit slash weaknesses Attack Chase is now always better +--- 1137519 +>used to get a fair amount of styles from most banners, which kept me playing +>haven't gotten jack shit for months and months now +>every single banner dips into pity territory +Have I been blacklisted or something? Shit's depressing and makes me not even want to open the game anymore. +--- 1137590 +>>1137519 +I feel ya bro, I'm in the same boat. I doubt it's account fuckery like in that one game (dokkan? Or maybe it was the One Piece one) but as it's server side, it'll always be impossible to know. Probably just extremely bad luck. Feels like we're getting less jewels, too, but I'm not sure. + +On a less depressing note, since attack boosts stack, if Punch Ellen triggers her first passive two turns in a row so she has two large atk boosts, is her SSSS nuke the hardest hitting single hit attack in the game? +--- 1137624 +When are we suppose to get ND 3? I feel like it's a waste of gems to pull for her reprin nowt since her next style has AoE heal +--- 1137627 +>>1137590 +It should be more or less in the same ballpark as Ventus' skill 3 in terms of attack multipliers, but not in the actual top tiers like Morning Glory, or Liam 2's skill 3. +So if we consider it purely from the point of view of the attack's value, as a single hit, it's probably up there but not the strongest. +>>1137624 +ND3 comes during the summer banners, they don't generally move seasonal banners around but on the current GL release schedule it's hard to say. +We should have got the two Golden Week banners and the mecha banner before these ones but they chose to use Anya's banner to make the unity version upgrade feel like a big thing, only god knows what comes next week. +--- 1137630 +>>1137627 +>So if we consider it purely from the point of view of the attack's value, as a single hit, it's probably up there but not the strongest. +I meant taking her attack boosts into consideration, because I don't know how much exactly they buff her damage by. +Speaking of Liam 2's S3, >>1137515 got me thinking. His new chase has the highest damage so it's the best if hitting blunt weak plus it has that stacking atk boost iirc, but it sacrifices the BP generation of Liam 1's wind chase. Would it add up to more damage if you inherited Liam 1's wind chase onto Liam 2 so you can get enough BP to use Liam 2's massive S3 every other turn? At least, I think it works out to every other turn. +--- 1137636 +>>1137630 +>I meant taking her attack boosts into consideration +Hmmm, her total passive boost should be 50% iirc, if we add the defense down stack from her other passive in OD it should be 60-65%? +Liam 2 at his best should be 75% and his skill 3 is stronger than Ellen's skill 3 so in terms of theoretically highest possible performance Liam still hits harder with his skill 3, but again Ellen's up there. +The thing with this Ellen is that even if her skill 3 isn't the strongest single hit nuke in the game you can still gamble on BP rotations to spam it every so often, Liam still wins hands down in blunt dps but considering series/type locked content that's pretty relative. +--- 1137823 +>>1136955 +Single pull bro, I tried doing some singles on Liam's banner as I've been hoping to become a single pull chad. I had enough to do seven singles and I actually got two SS styles! But it was an old Polka style and freaking Volcano's school style from years ago. I'm so mad and disappointed. But at least I've gotten SS styles from single pulls for the first time, so that's something. +>captcha TAP SS +--- 1138304 +>>1137823 +It's a long way for a SPC to get this RNG fella, but man is it worth it. Just keep on trying and something else will come in the future +--- 1138370 +>wyvern was buffed by those global cunts +The hell is wrong with them. The thing is doing level 20 damage at level 12. Also that extreme accuracy buff starting the fight. Fuck them. +--- 1138374 +>>1138370 +Really? Damn. I haven't even tried it yet as I'm not familiar enough with its mechanics. +--- 1138377 +>>1138370 +GL fixes are not unusual, and yeah, Wyvern 20 is a lot stronger than it is in JP, can't really do it with my current box either, I can manage 18 in most weapons but anything above that is too hard, it hits much harder and now that it can lock on you can't abuse things like AGI scumming anymore. +To be fair they're already introducing the current JP shield spam meta in GL so it's understandable that we're seeing all around buffs. +--- 1138725 +How do I get this dumb lug Asura to learn his only skill worth using, his fat counter? I switched to normal auto in the story so the enemies have a chance to attack and they've hit him with direct attacks, but no luck sparking so far. +--- 1138759 +Nevermind, got it. Jeez, even if his counter is strong, he's only ever gonna get to use it on t1. And counter tanks are only good in hard content, and there's no hard content you can clear in just one turn of countering. +--- 1139243 +>>1138759 +The thing with Asura is that once he's in OD he gives 1BP back to the whole team for every attack he lands. +This is not super efficient considering how bad his BP patterns are but in certain scenarios it does work, you'll get the most of it in things like Wuhan/Domafa remembrance where there's multiple enemies that can use direct attacks, considering Asura's skill 3 is also SSS now he ends up having a small, but definitely functional niche. +It's will also be useful for the usual high difficulty events with teams of PCs, a field wide SSS counter is nothing to sneeze at when it comes to those, we really do need somebody who can put Taunt on OTHER characters though, it's insane how we still have nothing like that and how much the counter tank niche is suffering from it. +--- 1139351 +Speaking of remembrance, another boss for global just got announced already. I'm assuming they're coming next month. Right now I can only evolve an SS weapon once per month, so I'm hoping with the two new bosses I can bump that up to two evolutions and take the time it takes to max a weapon and cut it in half. +--- 1139846 +>Hardy banner in JP +>He's a fucking martial artist +Goddamn, the sheer hatred for axe users is beyond real +--- 1139865 +>>1139846 +You will get another Ellen style and you will like it +--- 1140240 +>>1138370 +>global team adds stupid buffs to an already strong boss +what did you expect from those faggots? in the future expect wuhan and pals to deal like 1000 per aoe. or sigfrei to get an extreme int buff per attack. the eos can't come soon enough. +--- 1140343 +>doing sumire dojo +>it literally requires you to have imperial shield matriarch since she just oneshots multiple characters per turn with 4k hits +Bravo, amazing design. +--- 1140352 +>>1140343 +You don't need GLEX Femps, Berva or Sekishusai can solo her, she herself can also carry her whole fight due to her counterstance gimmick, then there's things like Mat 3 giving a shield to everyone, Taria 3 or GLEX Neidhart also giving themselves a shield every round etc, it's not a hard fight, if anything it's extremely easy. +--- 1140368 +>>1140352 +Not saying it's hard but the whole oneshot bullshit is getting of hand. What's the point of mitigation and healing when shit just bonks you for two times your hp even on reductions. +--- 1140371 +>>1140368 +trash fucking game cant die fast enough +--- 1140372 +>>1140368 +The only remotely dangerous attack she has is her skill 3, anyone with HPT who builds up against slash and with 2K HP or so can survive it easily, hell even Berva can survive it on Hard with guard up and he has no HPT, nevermind how you can debuff her morale either, there's bosses where you can't tank nukes but Sumire's not one of them. +And again, you have people that can deflect attacks, her only threatening move is a direct attack that not only you can tank with the right character, you can deflect it altogether and counter, so again, Urpina, Sekishusai, Gen, Noel and whoever has a deflect Slash/strike counter dabs on her. +I really don't see where's the issue. +--- 1140373 +I should really just start a counter that says +>minutes since eos poster cried about skill issue +--- 1140404 +>>1140373 +Just ignore the shitposter.

As for the gacha, sorry about that. You should stop pulling constantly and only focus on your favorites or roles you're really lacking. You can also take a break if you're feeling that demotivated. It's all up to you, deciding what do you want to do now. +--- 1143607 +>>1143514 +Just do your dailies, this game is a casual grinder, no need to hurry or worry about anything but saving jewels for your best homies. +Bad luck streaks suck balls though, I'm in one myself ever since I burned all my luck on the NY banners, admittely I got away with too much shit (Got five out six styles in the Asellus/Ciato banners in for 3300 jewels) but my luck has been terrible ever since +--- 1143611 +>>1143574 +>You should stop pulling constantly and only focus on your favorites or roles you're really lacking. +That's what I do though. And it's just pity after pity. I have to pay for a pull to finish pitying GLEX Silver. Problem is, if I take a break all the issues will just snowball. The game is low maintenance, I can't justify dropping it when all it does is run in the background. I kinda wish we'd get more content that's engaging other than remembrance which is a pain in the dick and flat out impossible for some weapon types for me. Something a bit more than the romancing fights but with not as many fights as Egg (which is coming back, but I already fully cleared it). +--- 1143612 +>>1143607 +Sorry, saw your post right after I posted. I hope your luck turns around too bro. And I really hope mecha banner got pushed back a couple months like the Robin family one did last year. +--- 1143702 +>>1143514 +>116 +>stat capped +Why +--- 1144079 +>>1143702 +Well, one day I discovered how easy macros are to set up and the rest is history. The game essentially has infinite stamina, as the more you grind, the more stamina you get, and it's practically impossible to spend it all before the current wave of pots runs out. There's only been one time in the game's entire lifespan where there was an odd dry spell of no new limited time stamina pots, so I dipped into my eternally growing permanent pots back then. The list of chars started with the ones I was using and a few faves, then grew and grew as more characters I liked were introduced, my fave series (FFL 1/2/3) got more and more characters, remembrance became a thing that demanded a bunch more characters and I started finding uses for certain plat/welfare styles. +I don't even macro grind 24/7, but they stop showing sparkles faster than you'd think and all it takes a few events in a row with the same cap or a dead week to get everyone up to cap again. And you get stuff like the latest story chapter which has stages that can be cleared with just a single action per wave and four trainees able to be carried, which combined with all the 3x boosters had me capping at least 4 to 8 characters per hour +Now I'm just going through the list of every character I own in order of weapon type, starting with swords. It got me to notice characters I've never even touched, like SS Bear. I just realized he has Still Blade as his S3, which just got amped to SSSS damage. Makes me wonder if he'll ever get a proper style to take advantage of a nuke like that. +--- 1144259 +>>1140773 +god that jo makes me diamonds i want to spark inside her reuniverse so bad +--- 1144294 +New spiral floors coming soon-ish +--- 1144411 +>>1144079 +From what I've read, I just think you just have a completionist streak. + +That said, it's not really that bad considering it's this game.

Keeps me hooked even when the gacha sucks my motivation. +>But man are you lucky that you had a FFL favortism since most other games would have ended up with you being incredibly upset on how paygated or intentionally frustrating progression becomes. +Yeah, I'm glad I'm not trying to collect every Katarina. And I keep hearing about cool new styles for the gang in JP. I'm missing SS Borgin, and the latest Human F and Esper Girl but other than that I have the rest at 50, lots of hidden stats unlocked for each and almost all their skills and spells at rank 99. I wish I had the willpower to focus exclusively on pulling FFL styles and chars, but I couldn't help becoming attached to other characters like Mirsa and Undine, so I'm not feeling confident in my ability to get more FFL styles in the future. Mecha and Death Machine in that big mech banner's got me sweating. +Oh wait, were you talking about other SaGa games, or other mobile games entirely? +>>1144635 +Sweet Jesus. I've heard of people trying to get as my jewels as possible and treating it as a "high score". That's wild. +>>1144681 +Is agility cheese viable there? I wish I didn't have to skip last Time Lord. +--- 1144702 +>>1144681 +I auto'd R2 up to rank 7 and half of rank 8 with my Dojo team, GL Kami 3 is still a beast if he can get his coin tosses consistently. +Switched to a manual GLEX Silver/Liam DPS team and it was all easy, still have to do Challenge though, but my ISP is currently shitting itself so I'll try later this evening, maybe that one will actually force me to care, but only R3 will be actually hard at this point. +--- 1144712 +What the hell? The Anya/Liam banner says it still has 24 days left? I thought it might be 24 hours, but the rerun banner that came with it says 3 days left. If that's the case, I might actually stand a chance! The new content from last night gave me 3k and I just whiffed it on ten pull #6 with nothing to show for it. But if I get spiral jewels and a few more events, then maybe... +--- 1144738 +>>1144712 +>The new content from last night gave me 3k and I just whiffed it on ten pull #6 with nothing to show for it +...do you even need any of the new units there? Zozma is niche at best, liam is a shitty sidegrade. Only anya is somewhat useful for like 3 difficult future bosses for buff erasing, but even then there are alternatives like arsenal or the glex rising nova amp users. Stop pulling like a madman, please. Only pull once you have 45k to avoid frustration. Only do single pulls as well; it helps for saving. +--- 1144764 +>>1144738 +I don't need anything except I guess better bows, but none of my faves use bows except Monika (who I had to skip). Zozma's atrocious, so of course he's the only one I pulled so far. I like Anya more now after the latest story chapter focused on her, so I'd be glad to get her but she's not a must for me. Liam's my most used/favourite char to use on hard content, so I really want his new style as it fixes one of the biggest issues I still run into with him (getting bursted down/hyperfocused by a boss at 1 LP despite formation, taunt and cover). Singles have never given me anything good. +--- 1144776 +>>1144712 +Spiral comes at the end of the month due to the new tickets and floors being added, but Anya's banner will still be active by then. +--- 1144777 +>>1144776 +Any neat/useful new styles coming with the new spiral gacha? +--- 1144778 +>>1144701 +Other mobile games entirely. +--- 1144783 +>>1144777 +iirc it should be Diana/Jean/Dragon Knight, none of these styles are particularly noteworthy, just standard plat pool material unless changes happen. +--- 1144829 +>>1144778 +Ah, okay. Yeah, there's a ton of very stingy ones constantly going after your wallet out there. +>>1144783 +Darn. It'd be cool if that Diana has a nice inheritance for her GLEX though, as I found her quite useful vs Egg and some other hard content. +--- 1145027 +>>1144829 +iirc the only thing Spiral Diana could give to GLEX Diana is Backstab, which is okay I guess? GLEX Diana's not somebody who'd do anything outside of spamming her Skill 3 really, it's already a very focused support style. +Jean had HPT and Starlight Heal so he's good as a healer for Great Sword remembrance, outside of that he's just a passable tank, Dragon Knight...I don't really remember what the fuck was he about, I stopped playing on the JP server ages ago, iirc he has a weird skill 3 nuke with Pierce+Blunt despite being a great sword user, and he did passable damage iirc, but he was forgotten rather quickly. +Also we already know the next banner are gonna be the Minstrel Song banners, so the mecha banner is going to be next month at this point. +--- 1145035 +>>1144777 +Of the new styles, the dragon knight is good for wyvern remembrance with his str debuffs. He was my second mvp, after souji. The rest are trash though. +>>1144764 +I still say you don't need the newest liam. His age will soon be over too, once 10fs saruin arrives. You said you liked undine, so why not start saving jewels for her next alt? It should be coming soon. Stop compulsively spending jewels, it's not a good habit. Even worse when jewels are scarce in the global server. +--- 1145105 +>>1145027 +>GLEX Diana's not somebody who'd do anything outside of spamming her Skill 3 really, it's already a very focused support style. +True, I was thinking that right after I hit post. +Jean having heals sounds good, until I remember I have Fempress. +>Also we already know the next banner are gonna be the Minstrel Song banners, so the mecha banner is going to be next month at this point. +Shit, skipping Sif is gonna suck. Took me til last half anni fest to finally get her School Festival style that I had to skip on release, thank you select ticket. Now I'll need to wait another year or year and a half to get this new latest Sif. Gotta skip all the MS banners entirely. +>>1145035 +Glad to hear about Dragon Knight, was hoping he'd have a use! +Yeah, I probably don't need him but it would make things easier and I'd really like to have him. I'm already completely fucked for Undine and half a dozen other faves. I already skip well over half the banners but I can't stop getting squeezed for everything I have whenever I do get enough jewels to pity. I keep a list of everything that I regret skipping, and it's huge. We're in the middle of one of the heaviest times for me with the banners floating around and coming up next. And the worst part is, the ones I am forced to skip (like Asellus and PWR right now), I feel like I'll never get because all reprint banners are constructed in a way that uniquely screws me over, sticking 1 style I really want with 3 ones I have and 1 that's just kinda there, making every single one a trap. +I wish we could get three months with no new styles for characters I like but that is actually impossible looking at JP's schedule. I haven't recovered since last summer and never will, I'd need at least two banners in a row (that I pull on, so not counting ones I skip) where I don't need to pity and that's just not possible with my luck. +--- 1145124 +>>1145105 +>I wish we could get three months with no new styles for characters I like +Tell me something I down, that and your favorite characters not getting styles are the main issues I have with the game, such is life for SaGa fans +--- 1145448 +>>1145124 +Still waiting on that GLEX Judie +--- 1145480 +>>1145448 +NEVER EVER +--- 1145555 +>417,000 rainbow gun molds +>no perfect wind gun for Liam +Rainbow molds were not enough. We need another forging fix. And I'm not liking these new vermilion molds. They give a higher chance of SS passives, but it's much harder to get a combination of passives you want. +--- 1145563 +>>1145555 +Why would you ever get a wind gun for Liam when his only wind spell is garbage you'd never, ever use? +Just stick to your remembrance gun. +>And I'm not liking these new vermilion molds +Better get used to them since they'll be the new standard from now onwards, the passive combination is also better than normal rainbow molds precisely because outside of a couple of stinky passives like Combo%, they cover a wider range of characters compared to standard rainbow molds, which are usually aimed at just 1 or 2 characters. +The current vermilion molds for instance aren't just for Anya, but pretty much for ANY female foil user outside of some rare exceptions like Aisha/Flammar/Sapphire, say you have Hilda, GLEX Diana, any Monika, Fatima, Selma or even the current on banner Asellus, there's nothing better than the current Vermilion molds outside of a fully upgraded remembrance rapier, those molds are THAT good, even though they'll be obsolete by the time the latest ALL SERIES molds will hit the game. +--- 1145571 +>>1145563 +Eh, I had the molds to spare and figured if he's gonna start learning spells, it might be handy to have in my back pocket. Didn't expect it to be so rough though, but that's how desire sensor works (got a perfect bow for Monika in 10 forges despite not even having her). +That's a good point about the number of characters that can use the vermilion molds. I was focusing on SaGaRS+ passives because it's the best overall passive, but I should go make some more for Diana and Monika too. +>spoiler +Tell me more about these new molds please. +--- 1145576 +>>1145571 +Long story short, with the current end of Liam's story raid JP introduced a new mold category that gives an All Series set of bonus, so basically any mold other than maybe Lapis molds for Critical type attackers is now obsolete in JP because the new molds can give an unconditional 110% modifier to anyone regardless of series, attack types etc. +--- 1145577 +>>1145576 +>the new molds can give an unconditional 110% modifier to anyone regardless of series +Glorious, thanks! +--- 1145597 +>>1145555 +We need a Reforge option that lets us keep even one trait. + +>>1145576 +This is a minor nitpick but it's 108% max because it's 36% multiplied by three. + +But they also gave a minor nerfed 4 SS Sim weapons too through login (99% damage to 90% damage but still SS Power number). +--- 1145601 +>>1145597 +My bad, you're right, it's 36% max for All Series molds, still plenty broken all things considered. +Gotta wonder what they'll cook up for the next OG generation. +--- 1145684 +>>1145124 +I want to do unspeakable things to that girl. spats are my weakness +--- 1145695 +>>1145577 +You need like 2000 molds to craft a single weapon, though. It may seem cool, but grinding them is just a pain in the ass. >>1145555 +You don't need a perfect weapon to make him work. It's not like he needs any other weapon than the brionac. All those molds could've seen use to make easy double "male 30%" for all male gun users such as fuse, or the human. But i'm sure you ignored all those weapons and sold them anyway. +--- 1145702 +>>1145684 +Mariah and the other diver lolis are for protecting and gentle cuddling. +--- 1145724 +is it me or does this game have a lot of connection errors? +--- 1145776 +>>1145724 +Haven't had any issue lately outside of the recent unity version update download. +--- 1145804 +>>1145695 +>All those molds could've seen use to make easy double "male 30%" for all male gun users such as fuse, or the human.

I must be just at the minimum power level the devs think I need to be to try this stage. +--- 1146467 +And wiped to a turn 1 Ultrasonic Wave that confused my whole party, leading to Liam massacring everyone. Now that I know it's coming up, I'll try and OD my WIL buffs for that round. I just pray 3 WIL buffs will be enough. +--- 1146478 +And after a couple resets due to bullshit rng, I got back to the bug Ettin on wave 8, did my OD, he didn't use any status ailments and instead hit Liam with a nuke (that he somehow survived) and then promptly died. Wave 9 is for fat purple dudes, who targeted Liam down, killing him, and then put my whole squad to sleep with Lullaby. +So I guess it's just a total crapshoot, I have to guess whether to OD my WIL buffs on either wave 8 or 9.

Arts) +--- 1147287 +Buffs are out +>Albert +Not much has changed, he's faster now (88>108%AGI) and his OD attack bonus has been changed into an unconditional 10% attack bonus. +He has Left Fork so he's a slightly better Mirsa without Still Blade Light, won't matter much when the next Mirsa comes up and makes Albert fully obsolete though. +Verdict: Big Skip +>Jamil +They gave him HPT and now Skill 1 recovers HP (minimal) on hit, since it has two hits this is actually pretty good, Jamil was already a good bow style but these changes make him even better, very good for remembrance considering how much he can get from his previous styles and how good this style is as a base. +Verdict: Must get for remembrance +>Claudia +Claudia was already good so the buffs are minor and nothing that really changes her value, she's Claudia so she's automatically god tier due to developer bias, a 9BP SSS column pierce is ridiculous and she also has the Galaxy equivalent for Pierce, except it's still 16BP so it's T2 only, still ridiculous. +Verdict: God tier farmer, god tier remembrance style +>Sif +Sif has received some interesting changes outside of stat buffs though some of those are indirect changes that are also interesting on their own. +First off she's no longer slow as molasses (71>95%AGI) her second passive no longer gives her 30% damage on OD attacks, instead she now builds up OD gauge every turn and when activating OD she gives Guard Up (medium) to all allies for two turns and also gives a minimal heal to everyone. +The second more interesting change is a change to Sky Dive+, now Sky Dive+ gives OD charge (Small) to everyone but the user, you know who else has Sky Dive? Aisha, and Primiera among others but Primiera's a loser in this game so Aisha's the big deal here because she's getting a FOIL style next, and you can slap it on her for remebrance purposes. +Verdict: She doesn't suck balls anymore, could be better but at least is usable and with a unique perk that could be built upon later. +--- 1147341 +>>1147287 +Damn, that does sound good. Very interesting stuff with Sif. Good luck to everyone pulling, I gotta skip. +--- 1147410 +Should I prioritize gold pieces or platinum tickets, I have like 5000 pieces atm. +--- 1147411 +>>1147410 +go for the gold pieces, you will get everything from the platinum summon from events anyway. +--- 1147412 +>>1147410 +The game throws tickets at you, get the gold pieces, style level is more important and you get a couple of jewels from capping styles to 50. +--- 1147432 +>>1147410 +Gold pieces, always gold pieces.

Please don't let his banner appear the day after Asellus. +--- 1148324 +>>1148319 +Next week, together with Hawke, Aisha and Barbara. +--- 1148325 +Man, I love conquests. I think they're my favourite content in this game. It's not just because they're great ways to power up your teams or because they give lots of jewels to try and get new styles. +For me, it's the maps and the sprites. They're so damn soulful, and I mean that unironically: they have heart, especially the themed boss sprites for stuff like music fest and prefecture tours. I really like fantasy maps, it's part of why I love jrpgs. + +This conquest is giving me a real hankering for buying Minstrel Song Remastered as my next SaGa game. Won't be doing that right now 'cause I'm a poorfag waiting for more money and a sale, but since I figure at least one person here must've bought I'd like to ask: are there any differences between the various ports/versions? +--- 1148333 +>>1148325 +PC gets to slap japanese voices on ENG text easily, that's it. +After the RS2/3 remasters they're developing the remasters in-house, probably because the team can afford it now, so there's not a lot of differences between ports outside of maybe loading times on mobile. +--- 1148339 +>>1148333 +>easily +Do you mean normally you have to have English voices with English text unless you mod it or something? +--- 1148342 +>>1148339 +You have dual language options, but if you choose JP the text also gets switched to JP, you can't choose JP audio only. +It's Unity as usual so it's just a matter of overwriting a file much like it was in Scarlet Grace. +--- 1148343 +>>1148342 +Well that's a bummer, I was hoping to get it on my Switch. Why they gotta be outta touch like that, they should know that 99% of the people who've even heard of Minstrel Song are weebs. +--- 1148345 +>>1148343 +Iirc I heard you could swap to JP voices in the switch version of Scarlet Grace, so this one shouldn't be much different. +It's a bummer but most people in the west don't care because they buy the games on PC where fixing issues is easy. +--- 1148346 +>>1148345 +Yeah, I'm just gonna pirate it on PC then. Wish I could send the people who made the game a message explaining why they're not getting my money. Would've cost them nothing but 2 minutes of a programmer's time. Thank you very much for the heads up. Just looked up the fix and it is indeed easy as fuck. +--- 1148352 +>>1148346 +Tweet to Ichikawa, the only reason they haven't given people the option to choose JP audio only is because nobody makes a fuss about it. +If they see enough people complain about it they'll fix it, people actually made a fuss about the RS2 PC port having problems with controllers, UI etc. and they immediately fixed everything like five days after launch, if nobody actually voices their complaints they're obviously not going to do anything, because how the hell should they know after all? +--- 1148358 +>>1148352 +I don't follow social media, but it sounds like nobody complained over there because the only complaints I'm reading are on English gaming sites that they'd have no way of checking. +I've never tweeted at someone before (not even sure I'm saying that correctly), but I'm gonna go look up how to do that and try and find Ichi-P's twitter. +--- 1148430 +>>1148346 +>I'm just gonna pirate it on PC then +Play a better saga game, like scarlet grace, or unlimited saga. Minstrel saga is overrated, and gets boring after two or three playthroughs. Save yourself the headache. +--- 1148768 +>>1148324 +Which is the better banner? +2 Axe users are better than 1. +--- 1148787 +>>1148768 +Two axe users? Aisha swaps to foils in the next banner, the only axe user in there is Hawke, who's admittedly pretty good even without considering how they'll buff him, mostly because he's just stage Dantarg but with an Axe. +The current banner has Albert being kind of dead weight, Sif hanging in there and Jamil and Claudia carrying it for remembrance/farming value. +Next banner, without considering buffs, has Aisha being the dead weight, Hawke being good for remembrance/row slash farming, Barbara hanging in there as farming support and Grey being a weird hybrid of row farming/bossing due to his SSS>SSSS slash frost charge. +Grey is also currently completely obsolete in that specific niche due to people like Human Male, and more importantly Edel who's THE slash nuker in the game with his absolutely ridiculous OD chase and being able to fill his OD gauge at will in one round. + +Both banners are largely about pulling for favorites, both are remembrance focused, neither are particularly better than the other, it all depends on how desperate you are for either bow or axe remembrance, and if you need pierce/slash farmers. +--- 1148972 +>>1148339 +>>1148342 +"Modding" a English Subs only it is easy in the sense you just swap the English voice file with the Japanese voice file in the programming files and call it a day. +--- 1149065 +Swapped GLEX PWR to GLEX Diana and got some great rng, so that's the second Turbulent War down. +--- 1149354 +Finally! On the tenth ten pull, I got him. No Anya along the way, gonna have to skip her. Now I can save up for Undine and robots. Gonna be cutting a number of other banners out of my pull plans too. +--- 1149964 +I think I kind of underestimated Sif. +With the new OD buildup she's actually quite strong as a manual nuker and party OD builder, outside of Ellen I don't think there's any other Axe nuker who hits as hard as her, and Ellen's also heavily RNG based so the difference isn't actually that much, on OD she hits harder than So-Cho, which is impressive given she's using a mere SSS instead of a SSSS, still no match for Roufas, Liam or GLEX Silver but she also doesn't come with the downsides of any of those three. +--- 1150053 +Think I will try Wyvern today. Are there any particular turns where I need to do particular things? +--- 1150058 +>>1150053 +Fight is fairly straightforward, the Wyvern will pelt you with lots of AoE and sometimes a couple of ST attacks, none of them hit particularly hard but multiple rounds with three or so AoE will wear down your party pretty fast if you don't have countermeasures. +Key points are: +>Wyvern will put Guard up on round 1 and every three rounds after that, it also gains DEF UP stacks every round for four rounds or so, so he gets tankier as the fight goes on +>Lots of AoEs every round, though many of his attacks are direct so you can also counter them and stop Triple Strike from dealing too much damage if you're lucky +>At Round 3 and every three rounds Wyvern will enter an evade stance that lets him evade five hits, this is a [Fast] stance so the trick here is to enter OD and beat him up before he gets the evasion ready, Round 3 and the beginning of every round past its evasion state will be where you do the biggest damage since its Guard Up state will go off, so it's best to focus on building BP for OD combos on those rounds. +--- 1150059 +>>1150058 +Also forgot, after his first loop, he'll use Oscillation on every round after the one where he uses the evasion stance. +--- 1150081 +>>1150058 +>>1150059 +Thanks bro. Sounds like all those aoes he uses are meant to help me with OD. I'm probably not gonna try the higher difficulties today, just gonna feel him out. +--- 1150132 +>>1150081 +pretty much, the AOE are mostly there to charge your OD and check if you can mitigate the damage well enough to survive and win the DPS race +--- 1150169 +>>1150132 +Sword 15 turned out to be pretty easy, I overkilled it on turn 6. Not sure I wanna try Sword 20 though, I imagine the damage is pretty rough. Leon and Mirsa are showing their age as they're pretty squishy. Kinda wish I could pull for Al now that he's a better Mirsa when it comes to damage, though I like Mirsa more so w/e. +--- 1150499 +Finally free of this torment, now for egg +--- 1150577 +>>1150499 +Good job, I'm jelly of that god tier gun comp since I had to skip Shuzer's banner.

It is a LOT of fights. +>captcha: XGG 4K +--- 1150609 +>>1148325 +>are there any differences between the various ports/versions? +Minstrel Song Remastered fixes a lot of the under-the-hood programming error stuff that the PS2 version had. Also increases droprates on a ton of items (some people think the Treasure Map droprate went up; I'm inclined to agree but that might be confirmation bias), includes a robust and customizable NG+, has 2x and 3x speed, makes 4 NPC-only characters playable (Monica, Schiele, Marina, and Flammar), and changes some of the recruitment stuff like Dowd being recruitable right out of the gate without having to do the Jamil stuff and Freilei hanging out with her sister in Weiserheim if you turn her down to be recruited later. +--- 1150620 +>new Kami is human rights +blessed +--- 1150683 +>>1150609 +Neat, thanks.

Is their game code that fragile that they’re worried about players cheating? +--- 1150798 +>>1150683 +Forgot to mention it has extra superbosses that unlock on your next playthrough after you beat 10 Fatestone Saruin. I think beating 10 FS Saruin also unlocks new gear in the drop/treasure tables as well. And another important thing is you don't actually have to listen to all the spoken dialogue if you don't want to. You can just press whatever the confirm button is to get the text to pop up at once, although some scenes won't let you. +--- 1151229 +Time to take on the Minions!

Hell, summer alone now gives us six new GLEXs every year. +--- 1152413 +>>1152396 +Currently, his Skill 3 is virtually the single strongest slash nuke in the game, charge notwithstanding, and since he's built to be a row nuker getting that Fast actually makes him worth pulling...if you don't have Noel/Leonard/Last Empress/Hawke that is. +Still, he will basically be able to carry Wuhan Remembrance when it comes to great swords, that's not a terrible deal but I still wouldn't pull for him. + +Honestly it's kind of meh banner, Grey's only good for one thing too many people do it already, being the best in a 1-3 rotation isn't exactly a major reason to pull for him, at that point Hawke is ironically more reliable as he will clear a row in T1 without fail due to frontloading more power than Grey, his Skill 2 is ridiculously useless for this style though considering he has zero natural damage mitigation whatsoever, the innate mitigation of a defensive counterstance means very little nowadays, but maybe they're hinting at a GLEX here. +Aisha's buffs are negligible, still, she does have access to 25% morale down which is pretty useful, especially for remembrance, and given the GL change to Skydrive+ she can also work as a decent OD battery, which is pretty decent, but still very unfocused. +Barbara has the opposite issue where she's stuck doing nothing but spamming Skill 3 and hoping her 20% damage party passive procs, but as much as the defensive buff she can give is pretty impressive she's stuck with no mitigation of her own, you can inherit Power Snatch from her GLEX if you have it, but that will fuck up with her rotation tremendously and without those defensive buffs she's dead weight. + +Barbara is the only style here who offers something significant to anyone and somebody that can't be done by other people, the rest is remembrance material with either niche or overlapping applications with past styles, Barbara is virtually really relevant in actual hard content but I don't know, I'm not really convinced, I'd need to see her in action. +--- 1152967 +it's over +--- 1152999 +>>1152967 +A shot of 5k jewels straight into the vein always feels good. +--- 1153012 +>>1152999 +Spiral jewels in a couple of days too, feels good to be over 45K again. +--- 1153087 +>>1153012 +Go on without me bro, I'm just hitting 15k now. +--- 1153545 +>>1153087 +I refuse, no autist left behind. You are going to make it. +--- 1153671 +>>1153545 +Thanks bro. 17k now, baby steps. +The new Gray event has the same stat cap as the conquest's boss nodes and the Sword Demon seems way easier to kill in one turn with 2 characters, so if you guys still have Anya boosters left, now seems like a great chance to use them for easy triple stat gains. +I'm using my usual single enemy farming team of Liam #1 in the front of Magia fight and GLEX Doll in the back with three trainees in the middle. +--- 1154257 +Thank god for Hawke, Death Master 20 is a joke now, Hawke, Sif and Ogniana seriously salvaged my Axe teams big time. +--- 1154361 +>>1154257 +Well done, piratebro. I'm gonna try Wyvern with axes today, though I doubt I'll get very far considering I'm missing all of the latest axes like the latest Hawke, Sif, Ellen and Darius styles. +--- 1155362 +eos... soon... +--- 1155412 +>recent banner so bad it killed any discussion +it's over... saruin won... +--- 1155470 +Man, I was really hoping they were gonna add new spiral corridor floors.

I can't remember what I beat it with, was probably either AGI cheese or Tiger's Den turtling witih Liam. +--- 1155486 +>>1155412 +JP banner? Yeah that's pretty damn bad compared to the five jobber banners. +GL banner? It's good but we already expected that, this week we'll probably get the first of the two golden week banners though and neither of those are anything to write home about without serious reworks. +The only style I'd pull for in any of those is Gen and only for mace remembrance, everything is else is just deadweights by now. +--- 1155489 +>>1155484 +I haven't really tried to optimize it. It just looked like another of those overtuned gimmick fights which requires a lot of reloading so I didn't even bother. +--- 1155687 +>Hana already +No. No no no. I'm the guy collecting FFL styles, I love this lil gal. I thought we still had quite a few banners to go. I only have 25k and she's the only one on the banner I want so it would be super risky. Fuck, skipping this is gonna hurt so bad after already skipping a few faves recently. +--- 1155693 +>>1155687 +Shit, they made Sei's banner time travel this much? GL is a fucking wild ride I swear, guess they pulled this to give people something for Wuhan's remembrance though. +--- 1155697 +>>1155693 +Yeah, I just counted. They skipped 7 more banners to bring this one up, plus we're still waiting for the three GW banners and the super mecha festival. +--- 1155759 +>>1155412 +game is boring as shit............ +need pvp or some depth or some shit zzzzz........... +--- 1155889 +>4 years of service +>still no chadbringer +>still no OFFENSE AND DEFENSE ARE ONE +>still no chadbit +>still no udx "the man birthed with a shard" leonard, god emperor bal, taria +sucks to be an ssgfag +--- 1155955 +>>1155889 +Kumi somehow made it in the game so Jamto still has a chance, both Jamto and Bea are kinda popular so they have a fair chance of getting in together with the Killers boys and maybe Patricia and Marion. +SSG might get more focus with the new story season in general, Liam's story included some of Unlimited's story and pulled Chaos Ruler near the end, Firebringer is one of the few final bosses left and will likely come around in the next season. +--- 1156000 +Vamp lady I pull. +Simple as. +--- 1156016 +Well shit, Vampy got an actually good skill for once? Guess she's no longer a total meme, at least in GL, the changes to her skill 2 are actually pretty nice, good stuff for her future style, might make her actually worth using as party support. +--- 1156153 +>>1155889 +meanwhile tophat freak gets 100000 styles +its obvious they have a bias +--- 1156248 +>>1156153 +Kami's pretty iconic, I don't blame them for giving him a lot of style. +Claudia, Ellen and Kat getting over a dozen styles while people like Ruby or Bal get a big fucking nothing though? Not cool. +And who gives a fuck about Dune/Stethlos either?

Idk how popular among the nips they are, but I have much more attachment to them than Tom or Julian, though I wouldn't mind if it was spread around more simply so that I don't have to worry about getting all these styles for FFL3/SaGa3. + +I think I've figured out what I'll do about this banner. Since Hana's all I want from it and I care more about collecting all the FFL/GBSaGa styles than remembrance (I'm still missing SS Borgin and UDx Human F and UDx Esper Girl), and Hana's latest style has no use outside of one remembrance fight, I think I will wait 15 months to get her from a select ticket, kind of like I did with School Sif and School Hector. +I will save my jewels for GW Undine, and Mecha/Death Machine/T260G on the super mecha fest banner. +--- 1156818 +I am hoping Super mech banners get super buffs for being delayed. +--- 1156940 +>>1156818 +It happened to the Robin family banner and made Polka one of the best characters in the game, so here's hoping, fellow robot enthusiast. +--- 1156960 +Damn. I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't have come back just for Vampy. I had rationalized when I dropped on how I wouldn't mind even using THAT + +But this one is also pretty painfully medicore. Which I guess is par for the course for Vampire Lady. +--- 1156962 +>>1156940 +The bulk of the buffs is probably going to Rabbit, BJ&K, Mecha and EngieCar, there might be some heavy reworks in some cases. +The rest were already decent to good, if a bit niche in some cases like Nacht, but seeing how they made Vampy's skill 2 into something that is actually really nice despite the time travel I've got some faint hopes. +>>1156960 +She's the only foil user outside of Jamil who can charm, it's gonna be real useful for Wuhan Remembrance, it's the main reason why they made her time travel really. +Her Skill 2 will also be very, very good on the next Vampy style. +--- 1156964 +>>1156962 +>Her Skill 2 will also be very, very good on the next Vampy style. +It does not. +I like Vampy and played this game for all those years for her but her next style is also medicore and S2 does nothing for that due to S3 BP costs (even if it's 5 only) and being a chance on a chance to even function as a support or sustain tool is horrible. + +Rouge has usable RNG. Vampy kinda has crapshoots where her BP off of S2 looping is 3.5 a turn. It's not particularly good. Rememberance bait never mattered to me Mostly because I wanted each weapon to have a GLEX before I started and Axe never got one which contributed to me quitting. Don't question the mind of a retard paypig + +At any rate this style being generally unsable everywhere but remembrance bait means I might fully be well detached by the time her next style (doesn't) get buffed next year. + +Anyways keep being awesome, bro. +--- 1156969 +>>1156964 +I never said the next Vampy was good, but the new skill 2 from this one gives her something to do after her party wide stacks of Heat+Def up are loaded onto the party, 25% for 2BP might be crappy considering what will be out by then but it's way better than what she already has, possible buffs notwithstanding. +Would I use the next vampy as a general party support over somebody like say, Hardy? Hell no, but it makes her suck less and almost kinda worth using, we all know Vampy's a meme they use to bait people to waste their jewels anyway, making her passable is better than being a complete meme. +--- 1156976 +>>1156248 +>badmouthing Stethlos +Mechbro here. +That's a spanking. +--- 1157035 +>>1156976 +I'll stop badmouthing Crono and his deadbeat dad when Akatsuki stops disappointing me. +--- 1157258 +>Giri Choco Drive can be amplified now +Sweet, it adds charm!

I'm now at 76k gems but decided to keep it safe and single on this new vamp lady banner. 2 pulls in and I'm already happy with the result. Is King Sei worth it? I like his design and build +--- 1157872 +>King Sei's tribute is for shaved ice +he should get a winter alt. +--- 1157888 +>>1157863 +He got slight buffs in GL and came much earlier than usual, to put it short, Sei's gimmick is basically being Souji on steroids, he starts off with 20 BP and has two A power AoEs that cover either Slash or Strike attribute, with a 90% total damage multiplier he can T1 and T2 consistently with those on a lot of content, making him a pretty great farmer. +Alternatively he can also help in maps that have two boss nodes by being able to T1 and T2 with a SSS Slash/Shadow attribute, it's fairly niche but still applicable in things like conquest raids. +In short, he's a solid farmer, he can also act as an emergency manual morale buffer in some hard content but be aware that Sei's made of paper and without extreme party support like GLEX Femps' full round damage immunity or the upcoming shield spam meta he won't survive long. +--- 1157896 +>>1157888 + +So with a nice team he can bomb shit up huh? You sold him to me like this, gonna try and get more luck now +--- 1157897 +>>1157896 +His main purpose and niche is being an exceedingly stable T1/T2 farmer pretty much, that's not something a lot of people can do and he largely outclasses most people in how competent he is at that, so if you need somebody who can cover T1/T2 on a slash/blunt/shadow stage he's your man. +The caveat with Sei is that in some scenarios he'll probably need a bit more firepower to truly carry a team on his own, and of course the double edged blade of the time travel bonus is that he'll also get outranked faster, once people like funeral Laura come around you'll start seeing a big power gap in efficiency for the same T1/T2 routines. +I'm not sure he can even do his own event stage 10 on his own currently unless you have a maxed remembrance weapon, but he will absolutely demolish any main story farm stage or really any 3 wave stage. +--- 1157954 +>>1157863 +Damn singlebro, you sure are blessed. I've been doing a single pull on each banner for a while now, still nothing. I'm thinking when Undine's banner comes along, I'll chase her with singles because I have no interest in any of her bannermates. That'll be my first time truly going deep on singles on one banner, but I don't have any faith as I've never had luck with singles. +Good luck going for King Sei! +--- 1158010 +>>1157954 +Thanks but now I've tried to get Sei and got a bit shafted with the equivalent of 3 ten pulls with nothing but a vamp lady dupe.

I was sad to skip this banner. Maybe we'll both score him from the bottomless that comes 15 months from now. +The more I think about doing singles vs my usual ten pulls, the more my doubts grow. Doing singles is only good if there's nothing else on the banner you want, in which case, pulling on that banner probably isn't a good idea in the first place. At most, singles save you 2700 jewels if you somehow luck out and would've gotten your banner target on the first pull in the ten pull they would've appeared in, which isn't much considering I usually have to dump 45k to get the one style I most want on a banner and the chances of actually saving those 2700 are very slim, 1 in 10. I'm not sure if I've even seen my target appear in the first pull on a ten pull more than once or twice in all these years. Meanwhile, going for tens comes with the side benefit of possibly grabbing another banner style in the same ten pull, having it pop out between 1 to 9 pulls later when you otherwise would've missed it by doing singles and stopping immediately upon reaching your banner target. I've seen this happen several times in the past, though I haven't kept count of it. +So I guess it comes down to whether or not I want to give up a shot at one or more extra limited styles to save a handful of jewels. +--- 1158919 +>>1158812 +I think now the way to try a real 50/50 would be singles and then when you get the equivalent of a ten pulls, do a ten just to see what comes. Might be almost the same who knows, I'm now at 68k so I gotta keep it together cuz once you say "one more just to see what happens" you're doomed. +--- 1158938 +>>1158919 +>I think now the way to try a real 50/50 would be singles and then when you get the equivalent of a ten pulls, do a ten just to see what comes +Ah, so do ten singles and then do a ten pull? Alright, I'll try that! +>cuz once you say "one more just to see what happens" you're doomed. +Lord, do I ever know that. I'm surprised I've been able to just do one single on each banner and stop myself from going farther, but it's a good test of willpower. Skipping the Albert banner really hurts 'cause the entire banner is great for me, but I gotta think of robots and stay strong. I'm at 30k, good luck brother. +--- 1158942 +>>1158938 +They opened the month with Sei's banner so I think it's unlikely we'll get the mecha banner now, maybe the two golden week banners will be next and then we'll get the mecha banner. +Granted you never know with GL, might also be the two GW banner and then a GLEX banner. +--- 1158972 +Just went to check GW Undine on nao's database and was surprised to find GLEX Undine there as her latest style for JP. They must've just got her. They replaced Tension V with Tension VII, kept her second passive the same and buffed her chance to evade and small heal to a chance to evade and medium heal. Her unique S3 got nerfed from B power to C power for someone reason, and she comes with Rain of Life+ instead of Rain of Life (is that amplify on global yet?). +10% more END and AGI, and 5% less CHA. +--- 1159014 +>>1158972 +Yeah, they added her for free through ad wheels.

I want heat tech on my girl Ellen. +--- 1159137 +Finally, my boy Arthur's ultimate weapon is complete.

I'm glad I waited for the month to roll over before using my last Anya boosters on the spooky spring festival event, 'cause now with the sword maxed Arthur can go from carrying three trainees to a whopping four like I mentioned in my last post. Thing is, it requires the remembrance sword to be maxed and Arthur himself to be maxed. Before last night, I had a maxed as max can be Arthur (hard stat capped, full promo scrolls, all four tiers of hidden stats unlocked) but because the remembrance sword was "only" SS and two out of four stars, he couldn't quite one-shot King Sei on wave 2.

Great to hear about Rabbit too and I'm extremely pleased to hear Warmech is that good considering I was just pulling because it's a fave. Sad that I had to skip Nacht's first style and after playing through the event, I'm kinda sad I didn't get pzkwV. If only one of the six or so dupes I pulled on the way to pity was T260G or pzkwV, it'd be a full set. Also sad to hear Engineer Car's so bad because the art is fantastic and I like its personality. + +Thanks for the QRD! +--- 1165100 +Does T260G's Cosmic Rave x6 on OD outdamage everything in the game including JP? I believe the chase is a global buff, which is wild. +--- 1165106 +Neato, Warmech is an Other series character like Minstrel, so it can benefit from any and all series bonuses with forged weapons. +--- 1165137 +>>1165100 +It's the highest possible damage per round a single character can do, yeah, it's even stronger than the latest Liam style in JP, who can also tie a SSS as a chase on top of his other D-C revolver chases. +As per actual DPS values, it's going to be impractical compared to Liam and other future chase focused styles like the latest Kami, since it's tied to OD and T260G doesn't have something like Edel's on demand access to OD. +That said, the future Iskandar can charge OD for all characters outside of himself once per battle, so when he does drop T260G is going to be pretty wild since you can do two of those absurd chases back to back, nothing stops them from releasing a GLEX T260G that can build OD faster than the current style. +--- 1165263 +>>1164994 +Ok but if I have shuzer then is me pulling for rabbit still a thing? kinda want to save my gems for bow styles since I am getting raped hard on that in rememberance. Is rabbit really worth? +--- 1165376 +I started playing at launch and quit, my highest rank guys are alkaizer and a snowman. +Should I dump my account and reroll some modern power creep characters? +--- 1165420 +>>1165376 +I would say reroll, the progress you made on old characters can be replaced quickly with new expeditions. +--- 1165481 +Jesus, look at this damage +https://streamable.com/dvul0r +>>1165263 +See, the thing is Shuzer and Rabbit have a small overlap in being gun chasers, but they cover different weaknesses so it's not a total overlap, both end up being relevant in different content. +The other thing is that Shuzer is a boss DPS kind of character, his purpose is to cover what Liam doesn't cover, pierce damage, Rabbit's niche is being a BP battery, which is a whole other purpose and much more widely applicable...in theory, were it not for the fact that Rabbit has zero defenses, unlike Shuzer. +If we're looking at the current state of GL, Rabbit is relatively groundbreaking, if we're looking at what the game will be in six months or so, Rabbit will still be very good, if we make a comparison with the current state of JP, Rabbit starts looking less favorable as rotations are much more stable on average, support styles get MUCH stronger and the piping hot Kujinshi (Forma de Jannie) also gives everyone a 25% chance to gain 2BP just by being there on top of being ridiculously hard to kill, unlike Rabbit, and having even more ridiculous self buffing. +But of course, talking about what will come in maybe eight-ten months or so is kinda pointless because it becomes a vicious circle where you worry about a possible future instead of looking at what you might need now. + +tl:dr; If you ask me, I'd pull because Rabbit covers a lot more content than remembrance and this banner is very solid in general, if you wanna be more careful wait until the banner is almost over, so we know what's next, because a GLEX might very well be around the corner, there won't be many bow styles for a while either, outside of the next Labelle you won't see many must pull bow styles until way later. +--- 1165527 +Only wanted 3 units. At pity and at 1/3 of those units. I managed to get everything but what I wanted. I will never pull on this meme banner format again. +--- 1165593 +>>1165481 +>https://streamable.com/dvul0r +Noice.

I heard there was a new Undine coming soon which I was also hoping to get. +--- 1165694 +Watching my new mechs grind the event brings a smile to my face. +>>1165691 +Undinebro, that you? Yeah, you might wanna reroll. Mech banner has a lot of stuff to round out a new player's box and 10% SSR rates are pretty sweet, but I don't think anything in it is must have. You could skip if you want, depends how much like robots. And yeah, in JP the second most recent Undine was right around the mech banner, but global is super unpredictable (the banner before this mech banner is from 8 banners in the future). +So next banner is either the Undine banner, a GLEX banner, one of the seven banners they skipped to bring the King Sei banner forward in time, or an even further future banner brought back ahead of schedule. +--- 1165730 +>>1165694 +Probably not the one youre thinking of, but I'm most certainly AN Undinebro. +The main thing making me hesitate to reroll is that I grinded everything pretty autistically before I stopped playing, so I have all the SS event gear up to that time, and at least 5 of every Weapon, armor, and gear stone leveled up to at least 9. I don't particularly want to do those again. +--- 1165749 +>>1165730 +With new stat caps and expeditions, you'll grind to much higher levels in much less time, and all the SS gear you got should be in the equipment exchanges (each event comes with medals you can redeem for them). Holy stones are sort of a bitch, but now there are gold pickaxes and I'm drowning in more stones than I could ever use. +It shouldn't be as much of a pain as you think, but then again I'm looking at things through a veteran's lens so ymmv. +--- 1165753 +>4 multis +>nothing on the first 3 +>t260g, rabbit and mech on the 4th +>exactly the ones I wanted +luckchads, we eating +--- 1165842 +>>1165691 +>how worth it is to roll on this mecha banner? +gun mastery fodder, don't even bother. just keep saving for any favorites. +--- 1166068 +I take back the negative things I said about Virgil during his last banner.

I'm so glad I got to use my lil mechbro, he was an absolute champ. I don't think he ever dipped below 1400 hp and was close to full for most of the fight, using his S1 with delay to always benefit from Tiger's Den and he didn't even need OD to be up on the turns the Wyvern lowered its defenses, because his hardest hitting moves are all Fast. Even though I have all of Mirsa's styles (he's a top fave), I actually went with the platinum style as it has the highest END by far and his RNG ignore all damage passive was clutch a couple times when all he was there for was to heal and not do damage (even though he landed the killing blow). +Busted out good old Georg for Scrum Guard and clutch heals (mostly on Mirsa but once on Urpina), it's amazing how his ancient SS style holds up. I don't have Urpina's UDx or wrestling styles, so I just inherited Doppelgangers+ from a plat style for her biggest hit. Couldn't figure out why S2 from this LNY GLEX style kept missing when her other attacks always hit. I have all of Asellus' styles except her recent rapier one and the old White Day one, but didn't use anything but S1 and S3 from this style. +--- 1166242 +>>1166145 +>violet +who? +--- 1166514 +>>1166242 +azamis little sister donut +sumire or violet or whatever her name was +--- 1167398 +>>1166514 +Oh, her. She still could really us a better skill later on. Three S Power attacks each turn without any LP cost is still good. + +Liam is still probably the king of damage if the new Romancing Egg tier fight shows, but the power creep has been real for support. Maria from the RS2 New Years banner is insane. +--- 1167622 +What's the next banner? +--- 1167628 +>>1167622 +Joker, Fuse and Emelia. +I get to save jewels to maybe have a shot at Undine, but at the cost of being forced to skip a rare banner where I want all three styles. This hurts so much, I almost never get a style if I skip its initial banner. +--- 1167804 +>>1167628 +Piss. Vampy is going to be gone then and with it my hopes and dreams to try and recover +esta el fin + +I'll check back with you lads next month +--- 1167985 +Buffs are out, Emilia received most of them and...they're a bit weird to be honest, Fuse is basically the same, Joker is still a worse GLEX Darque outside of running on Weak instead of Critical, which makes him a little bit more versatile for boss farming I guess. +Honestly looks like a skip, This Emilia's pretty pointless as an OD pusher unless you really want to play off the recent T260G on remembrance, Sif is better for general use and the previous Emilia has more value for Remembrance imo. +Fuse looks fine when it comes to remembrance, 25% Morale down on AoE is a good thing but other than that and having Blast Heal he's not really noteworthy, good support but I'd rather use Constance at this point. +Joker just can't compete with GLEX Darque, having his SSSS tied to LP AND still having to rely on coin tosses for curing Berserk just isn't worth the trouble compared to Darque, he's not as laser focused as Darque is when it comes to DPS I guess, but in that case why wouldn't you use somebody like Ciato who has much better survivability? It's not like foils lack damage pushers anyway, he's still too gimmicky unless you don't have Darque, in which case he's a passable knockoff. + +Don't know why they're delaying the golden week banners so much. +--- 1168109 +>>1167985 +Man, I just looked over the buffs in detail and having to skip this hurts even more now, as I'm pretty happy with what they gave them. It feels like my roster is actually shrinking over time as my favourite characters fall by the wayside as I have to keep skipping all their latest styles. And now, why was I even keeping Ren's stats grinded anyway? What a mess. They'll never be back altogether on one banner again, they'll be back one or maybe two at a time on reprints where I have most of the other styles and somehow coincidentally drop at the same time as a brand new banner with better new styles for other faves so I have to skip the reprints anyway. Gonna have to wait literal years to nab these three from selectors. +--- 1168557 +>>1116253 (OP) +>only have 3 bots left to roll; Leonard, Zeke, and T260G +I gotta raise my battle EXP for the other characters too. +--- 1168564 +I can't remember that site that had all the JP releases and schedules released, but any idea when the summer banner returns?
