...She's behind me, isn't she?
aw heck yes, Gorgon NP interlude, been wanting this for awhile now. 10 - 15% NP charge isn't a huge buff, but I'll take whatever I can get :toot:

e: Also I was wondering who would get the inevitable Quick Resist down, and it was smol snek! That's pretty cool, hopefully I manage to pick up Medusa Lancer at some point since I have quite a few Quick-based characters.

Yeah this is definitely doable with George/Robin/Santa/Santa/Caesar/Jack. Doubly so if I can manage to get a Santa support with MLBed HNS to allow me to put a Kaleidoscope on Caesar. I'm sure I will get RNG screwed a few times but I was able to do about 5 runs this morning with that +13 group. And based on the spreadsheet calculator from a while back, with 5 CEs I would have to go all the way down to +9 stockings on the 50AP to make the 40AP better, so come hell or high water I think the 50AP is going to be my world for the next 4 days no matter what.

As a Rider, Instinct is actually pretty decent on her now that she can actually get the stars it makes.

Swapping Caesar out for my Okita means I can clear the 50AP pretty darn reliably, so I guess I'm in for that. Not to mention I need to do the 50AP to get Ribbons and Bells too anyway.

You shouldn't be looking at what happens when you run the 50AP with a lower bonus, you should be looking at what happens when you run the 40AP with a higher bonus. 40AP with +15/+100% is better than 50AP with +13/+100%, so if you have any of Martha, Marie or Nursery Rhyme you should replace George with them even if it means falling back to the 40. 40AP with +14/+100% is pretty close to 50AP with +13/+100%, so if you don't have any of the 4*s and your 50AP failure rate is less than one in forty then the 50AP is better.

Personally I can't quite hit the necessary success rate on 50AP and I don't think replacing a silver would help, so I guess I'm doing the walk of shame back to the chump stages until I can limit break HNS and free up another CE slot. :sigh:

I guess it's ultimately a matter of looking at the sock/AP rates, and whether it's worth spending the AP you've saved by not doing the 50AP doing the the 10AP and 20AP to make up the differences in currencies. I do want co clear out some of the extra bits in the shops, such as the fous, if I can help it.

So, for a max LB HNS, does that guarantee every stocking gets a single additional stocking drop? I haven't had one drop, so I can't get one myself yet, but it would be nice to know.

Along those lines, is it better to MLB a Holy Night Sign (I finally got one to drop from the 40 AP) or just put as many on the party as team cost will allow, in terms of stockings?

Ruby Prism

With this, I'll be able to make the ultimate pie!
Limit broken Holy Night Sign is 40%. So the ideal scenario is having your own limit broken HNS, a non-limit broken HNS, and using a support with a limit broken HNS to round out 100%.

Unfortunately, none of my friends have an MLB'd HNS, so even if I were to get two as a drop, I still couldn't MLB my own, because the bonus would only be 80% at max. Come on people, aren't you grinding enough?

So should I save some of my apples for Saber Wars or should I just throw them all into this event tograb as many bones, exp cards and fangs as I can? Only things left in the shop are rider pieces/monuments and Ialready have an abundance of them with no one to spend them on.

Nate RFB

Don't forget the QP, gold XP cards, prisms, and especially skill gems. If I am able to throw all 40 or so apples I've set aside for this thing (still holding back 20 as a buffer), I estimate that I'll conservatively be able to get 1000+ prisms, 1000+ gold XP cards, hundreds of million of QP, and probably 50-60 of every skill gem type for each class.

So if you feel you don't need those resources at this time, then sure sit on you apples. I don't think I can leave behind that XP or those skill gems though, they would take me months to build up normally.

Damnit, suddenly I feel the need for Claws. I have 6, but need another 5 to get both Shisou's 3rd ascension and Jack's final, and the next event that has claws is KnK in like late February. I'm not sure who should get what I've got, since Shisou with her third skill can just murder Gil like its nothing, but building up another 5 claws to ascend Jack is just going to be a massive pain.

Saber Wars has 18 of 'em and that's before KnK.

Were you trying to buy out the monuments or something? You should be able to easily clear all of the ces, buckets, and scales without much trouble since at this point you can apple 40ap for lottery resets

nope, I've bought no monuments or pieces. I've bought both Holy Night Signs and one Chicken Bucket, and have almost the 100 stars for the final bucket.

I should be okay on time since you get two full bars of Stamina a day and I get roughly 24 stars per run (so I need 20 runs, there's 3 in my bar, so 6 a day is 18 total, so just 1 or 2 apples should be fine), I think I've just had bad drops.

It's because most people aren't using multiple copies of the star boosting CE. GUDAGUDA for example people were running out 2-3 copies of Poster Girl if they had them, whereas here stocking boosting CEs are the only things people are bothering with. Clearing out the star shop relies therefore on running the 40AP a ton of times (100+ by my estimates) which is actually beneficial if you want to run the lottery a million times anyway.
