So, I'm still quite new and doing ToD. I'm stuck on Floor 50. I have a 5* Raskreia, Chris, Serendi and Deborah. I have a 4* Jenny and Mu. Is the answer to just farm characters with 1 square attacks?

Where on earth is your Jack? If you have Jack + Jack merc, you can down the boss in 2 turns. You need Jack and his third skill maxed.

it's basically the biggest flaw with the game: Health Sponge bosses mean that you pretty much always need Jack in your party for boss fights.

I just started up this game and it's fun so far, but I've found the tutorials leave a lot of information out. I've also read the info in the newbie section on page 1 of this thread, but I still have a couple of questions:

1. Unknown Genes - I thought that these were used to recruit heroes, but I seem to only be able to use them to get DNA or whatever for heroes I already have. What exactly should I use or save them for?

2. Hero recruitment - Is it really just a case of playing through the campaign and I'll eventually get all the heroes, or is there another non-paying way to recruit heroes? Which heroes should I be investing time/effort into?

You can only use them to get genes for those 4 heroes, this confused me as well.

You can get many of the heroes through the campaign. Some you just get through the story, like Jin. Each island will have a thing on the left saying how many genes you need to get to recruit some heroes. So if it says 48, you do the boss' mission at higher than the lowest difficulty, and you get genes. Collect enough and you get the hero. Then you keep doing that to get more genes to level their skills.

Some you only get genes through the Honor battle, some only through Dimension Portal or whatever it's called. Some have conditions, like Sione, where you have to 100% each island. Clicking the heros and then "recruitment info" you can see how to get them.

One, Seira, you had to spend $100 of real money to get.

I don't fully understand the extraction system. Sure, I'm getting gold for my chaff, but there's this counter that says extractions will eventually get me a set item, except the count never decrements. How does it work?

There are 5 separate blue bars, one for each star rank.

How much the blue bar fills depends on the rarity of the item. If you're only extracting normal (white) items, then the thing will barely move. The higher the rarity (pink>orange>blue>green>white), the more it will fill up and when it fills up completely, you will get a blue stone that will spit out a random platinum item with a low chance of it being a set item. If you fill up enough bars, which is what those numbers represent at the lower left, you will get a red stone which will only spit out a set item.

Grinding set items will also fill in the bar A LOT more but it's generally not worth doing because they might rework even the shittiest of sets later.

The important thing to know is, if you have the mats to spare, the most cost effective way to build alchemy gauge is by raising normal items up to blue and then extracting.

About the new event shop: Buy all your daily poo poo. You can neglect the coocoos if you don't need them, but I'd grab them anyway. In the limited section, the order is: Sweet & Scary Chocolate Warrior > Dasomier Battle Suit (Mass Production Type) > Perfect Genes > Power of the Ancients > Nepthys Adventurer.

Guild Raid - Dark Fortress 1 of 2

https://m.nexon.com/forum/thread/6068-Developer%E2%80%99s-Note-#10-%96-Guild-Raid-Dark-Fortress-(1)-–-Synopsis

quote:

Developer’s Note #10 – Guild Raid Dark Fortress (1) – Synopsis
Developer’s Note #10 – Guild Raid Dark Fortress (1) – Synopsis

Hello, this is JK from FWT development team.

Today, I will be talking about probably the most anticipated new contents, “Guild Raid – Dark Fortress.” The developer’s note on the guild raid will be divided into two versions as there is a fair amount to be discussed.

Developer’s Note #10 – Guild Raid Dark Fortress(1) – Synopsis
Developer’s Note #11 – Guild Raid Dark Fortress(2)– Main Features – coming soon

Dark Fortress entails a different story line from that of World Conquest.

Dark Fortress

Story
Lord and his companions encounter a particularly strange-looking sword that is stuck in the ground on their grand mission to world conquest. Feeling clueless at such a bizarre sight, Lord and his companions nevertheless decide to move on and continue on their journey. Then, the sword transforms into an even stranger female figure, equipped with shiny armor. The lady introduces herself as Soul Gear OOO and desperately asks the lord to become her master to stop Deimos.
Soon, Lord and his companions start heading towards the Dark Fortress, which is occupied by Deimos and other six soul gears under his control. These soul gears under Deimos’ possession are not human beings and can be revived again and again upon their deaths. The battle against these soul gears look grim as they become stronger and stronger after each revival..

(Deimos)

The final boss of the Dark Fortress, Deimos, was once an emperor of the Ancient Lagrangian Empire, known to have been a war fanatic at the same time. How could he possibly resurrect in times of New Ellian Kingdom?

Soul Gear
Soul gears were created by the Lagrangian Grand Wizard Epsilon under the reign of Emperor Deimos, with soul stones that are said to possess great strength. These gears have their own consciousness and draw potentials of their masters to the maximum.

However, Deimos corrupted their consciousness, turning them into battle machines of mass destruction. Alas, after becoming complete monsters, these soul gears started drinking blood and collecting revengeful spirits of the deaths. In these times of grim hours, there was one soul gear that did not fall into the darkness of corruption..


Soul Gear Monsters Development Concepts
...


After watching his Soul Gears fall into corruption one by one, the Grand Wizard Epsilon felt great agony with disappointment and despair. Then, just before his death, he created the final Soul Gear.
Her features mirrored the looks of human beings but she was created only to fight the other soul gears; she sleeps when they sleep and rises when they rise.

This is all for the synopsis of the Dark Fortress.

There are three major things we considered the most while developing the guild-raid contents.
① Participation: The users should be able to participate every day and receive rewards accordingly
② Convenience: Should be easily played as it is on a mobile platform. At the same time, it needs to have features to strengthen SRPG characteristics.
③ Cooperation: Competition between guilds needs to be rightly promoted.



For more development intentions and different features, I will be back with the next Developer’s Note #11-Guild Raid Dark Fortress(2).

Lastly, as we have been receiving many suggestions and opinions on the event shop in the past few weeks, there will be a 10 million gold (!!) event shop from tomorrow. There will also be various guild raid pre-events so we hope that many of you participate!

Thank you

*The update schedule will be notified on the next patch note*
** Some of the names of boss monsters might change upon the update**

Ugh, I need to get my 3* sets in order.

I currently have:

Mad Guitarist Full Set x2 (One is on Bearman)
Tiger Claw Tribe Guardian. One full set and extra Tiger Hood (dodge stat)
Super Ranger: Pink Full Set (currently on Chenny)
Shadow Corps Full Set (currently on Gillan)
Muzaka, Seira, Raskreia, and Frakenstein wearing their unique sets
Black Crescent Full Set (currently on Carrot)

Current 5*s I use:
Bearman
Chenny
Deborah
Gillan
Jack
Muzaka

Any advice on who should get the other Mad guitarist set, tiger claw tribe guardian set, and possible swaps?

either put full Tiger Claw on Serendi or Carrot (assuming a dodge build) or put a two piece each on two BoH characters. Put the other mad guitarist on Unknown unless you're saving him for Sweet & Scary Chocolate Warrior (Run him out into enemies and fire his second skill, watch the carnage.) If you put tiger claw on Carrot, move the black crescent set to Unknown, and bump Mad Guitarist to Jack or Muzaka. Muzaka's set isn't that great, and I just bumped mine in favor of OUTER SPACE.

Remember that, assuming you can gather the points, you're about to get another 1 star, 2 star, and 3 star set, plus the nepthys set if you want it. I've been informed that in spite of the lovely wording, the bonus on Mass Production Daso actually doesn't go away until the end of your second turn, so it's actually a significant set.

Oh right, I forgot to mention that. Unknown is currently wearing the Sweet & Scary Chocolate Warrior.

Thanks. Looks like I'll go with:

Tiger Claw --> Serendi
Mad Guitarist --> Jack

Nice to hear that Mass Production Daso lasts til the end of second turn. My first one has been sitting in my inventory for awhile.

Bearman makes everything attack him instead of the rest of your team. If you run aoe heroes, all enemies will bunch up around Bearman for easy nuking.

Raboff is when even your tank can't tank the damage, so instead you disarm the enemy for 2 turns. You probably won't use him normally, but he's really good in ToD Hard and PvP.

Nobody groups up enemies for you like Bearman.

Nobody tanks Rock enemies like Raboff, and his 2 round 75% area effect disarm is one of the best status attacks in the game.

Chris, sadly, is pretty pants even after getting buffed.

Muzaka is a giant can of assbeatings in basically every way, with stays way better than a tank should have, a damage/regen aura, and three fantastic attacks, all of which can hit pesky diagonal enemies. He's also the only tank with useful reach.

Lance is generally only used for paper coocoos, but his 100% taunt effect is occasionally really useful, as is the fact that he has 6 move and swampwalk.
