There are two versions of Leviathan summon, one is SR (meh) and the other is SSR, which is the one worth investing in. If what you got was a SR version then I'd still level and use it if it's the strongest summon you have, but it's not endgame material so feel free to dump it later.

Weapon grid wise, Leviathan has lots of SR rarity drops that boost attack, which lets you put together a fairly strong grid quickly, but he has three SSR weapons that don't boost attack at all. I actually bought an SSR water dagger with silver emblems at the shop because water was my only pool that had lots of Ezili's-type skills, which get boosted by Leviathan Magna(aka Omega) summon, and then legfest happened and gave me fire SSRs, a light SSR, and a wind SSR character. Now I'm struggling to decide which element to focus on again.

Also as far as betting goes I'm pretty sure every day they have a button you click at the betting screen that just gives you a free ticket.

That would be why I didn't get a ticket. :downs: I thought I needed a ticket to even participate so I didn't bother trying to go to the betting screen.

I've been trying this out thanks to one of Psiwri's accounts, and I like the game enough that I'm thinking about getting the beginner's draw pack now it's come around.

I really don't know which element to work on yet, though, or which character would be the best pick. I was leaning towards Fire (Magisa and Zalhalmelina - start dash Percival?) or Earth (Eustace - I was thinking of going for Eugen since he's limited and it seems like they'd work together). I also have Charlotta for Water and Feena for Wind, no great ideas about who to team them with though.

Any advice from people who actually know what they're doing?

To people in So Awful: how would y'all feel about levelling the charge bonus gong to level 2? There are a couple skills that take 25% meter to use, and waiting a turn is kinda risky. I'll put up the remainder of the 100k if it sounds like a decent way to go; dunno how much the sustain costs would go up by, though :(.

I hear that item drop rate, extra heal pots, and charge meter are the default picks for most people typically in that order

Heads up if you are in the B group on your profile. The Angel Halo event that started at midnight Eastern (9pm Pacific) was starred on their Twitter. It gives extra angel weapons and upgrade materials. Just got 8 bronze, 18 silver, and 15 gold chests out of one run. It is great if you need orbs or prisms to uncap characters.

They're also necessary for the rusted weapons to make into bahamut weapons. Unfortunately the couple that've dropped for me thus far are for race combos that aren't useful to me.

Black knight added as legfest exclusive , skills seem amazing unless they have a lower success rate. The zodiac character(monkey) finally makes a return since new years, she'll be gone for good(or next 11 years) by the end of the year.

Against all better judgment my interest has been caught.

I've never played one of these gatcha games before. I've figure out how to reroll and I gather I'm looking for any item that is rated SSR from the two free "premium draws" that I get for clicking around town and for logging in the first time. Also I think there's an event on that doubles the SSR rate? Is that all correct?

Should I care about these japanese magazine codes yet? I can't figure out where to enter them anyway.

To enter codes go to the "News" screen (top left button when you're on your main page) and scroll down, there's a banner about entering codes. Also yeah, now is the time to reroll.

In legfest news, I was hoping for some cool fire stuff since I had been working on that for my first couple weeks of playing the game, but legfest was like "gently caress you, go dark". Black Knight, SSR Vira, Cerberus, Narumaya. So... I guess I'm going dark now?!?

Apparently they ban your IP from creating new accounts after about 10 rerolls. I don't think I'm invested enough in this game I've not actually played yet to start loving around with VPNs to keep rerolling.

How bad is it to just accept what I got and roll with it?

It's a temporary ban, I think it's only until the next day.

Is there any reason to keep non-SSR character weapons or is it okay to use them to feed skill?

After going through all the stuff I got this morning, I have the characters to make wind, fire, and earth teams once I farm up the weapons.

This game's gacha is brutal. I did five 10-pulls with crystals and used 11 tickets, and my only SSR was a Satan off one of the tickets.

SR gacha weapons should be broken down instead of fed if you're looking to get rid of them.

Always relevant for legfest:


I think my worst streak was like 40-50 rolls without any SSRs at those 6% rates.

^^^^hahaha

I had enough crystals for two 10 rolls. Picked up Richard, Sutera and Societte on the first one, Barawa, Suframare, Flesseles (what is with these names?) and Farrah (SR) on the second. Got three bronze moons and a silver in total as well.

Societte seems pretty okay. But sh'es my first SSR for water. I guess she can take Ejaeli's slot on my water crew.

Sutera on the other hand looks really good, but between Carren, Anna, and Teena I feel like I'm packed on really good Fire SRs. So much so that Magisa is still sitting in a sub slot gaining xp. Percival, my other fire SSR does real well, though. Now if only Colossus would drop start dropping SSR weapons!

So, I've been playing this out of boredom, made it to Rank 30 (couldn't be bothered to reroll, so no good first character) and I decided to come here because it feels like my progression has kinda...stalled. I can do like two quests on my stamina bar and they barely give enough XP to fill 1/12th of the rank bar. Is it just how things go after a certain point?

I also did two 10-draw pulls and got Bahamut, Cerberus, Aletheia and Ferry, plus a couple of assorted Rs and a Wind SR. So now I'm kinda confounded as what to make as a main team, between the Street Fighter collab SRs, no good Dark weapons and no good other color support characters. Maybe Grand Order and hope I get a Dark weapon?

My many CoX, always poised, always ready, always willing to thrust.

First 10 pull: Agielba, Altair, Sutera

Second 10 pull: Lamretta, SSR Rosetta, Philosophia, Hazen.

Cleaned out the new fate episodes, pulled again: Carmelina who is supposedly really awful, and a bunch of R stuff.

Bought a final ten pull because why not, it's only $25: Percival, and a bunch of R stuff.

I still have yet to see an SSR summon, and I've made 91 pulls (50 from the 7 days of 10 pulls and 40 from this). :v: Maybe I can rush through the story and the various new characters and scrape together another 3k in the next few days.

On the upside, Altair lets me push Sophia to my back line and I now have a complete water team: My character with a Murgleis, who is soon to be a Dark Fencer. SSR Catalina, Altair, Yoda.

Are the story quests getting too hard? If so you might want to go back and do Free quests instead at all the nodes you've passed. Spending your AP instead on replaying the primal fights too for drops to strengthen your weapon and summon pool.

If you're just looking to grind experience to level up your class or character by the way, I think I read that Broken Bridges (5 AP, Chapter 1) is the best return for xp per AP spent.

So okay, burning gems through legfest, get a couple of decent pulls. Get Albert and Apollo and already had Sophia and think, "well that's three quarters of a good light team, I suppose I'll use the starter pick on another light to finish it off". I buy the starter pack, use the ten pull ticket from it.

Well you lucked out and pulled one of more sought after summons with bahamut. Dark/light are better as a secondary team since their stuff is more scarce. Try working through story mode and unlocking more boss battles, specifically the primal beasts. So you can farm SR weapons for water/wind/fire/earth, and try leeching celeste omegas for a very low shot of dark weapons.

Wind is extremely popular as a "main" team since their omega weapons are good, 80% boost summon is farmable viable casino, and the GW character is great for rushing bosses down. But in the overall scheme of things you probably want to dabble with 4-5 elements in the end.

Yeah, right now I'm doing the event raids and going thru story mode/free quests, I was just surprised by the sudden wall in the experience curve. I think I'm at ch.21? I used to play PAD a couple of years ago, and I think this has even more stuff to do compared to how much stamina you get, drat.
