As usual my WT comes up short of 20 consecutive wins because I forgot to usher just that one time on 15+ wins and I can't be assed to grind them again.

I learned not to ever trust a first attacker when the stunners don't show up. Getting OHKO'd by R trash will do that to you.

Oh it looks like they took down the New Years banner. Maybe something will come out of the UI Goku issue.

You missed the world tournament, unfortunately, sorry. :( It only runs for like three days at a time and then goes away for like two months. Which is good on one hand because it's super grindy and doing it for even that long gets tedious fast, but also that makes it really easy to miss if you're not paying attention and then you don't get a bunch of free stuff.

Sorry man.

Lol I did all 3 rounds and even though I'm reasonably happy with my pulls UI Goku was at the top of the list of what I was hoping to snag

So basically in the step up summons, all the LRs and dokkanfest characters are pullable on every step. So even on step 1 you can get an LR, even though they aren’t guaranteed yet. This was true for every character besides LR UI Goku, who was only pullable as the final character in the final step. I know a lot of people lost their poo poo when this was found out, hoping for some kind of compensation. Seemed like nothing was gonna happen, until apparently today when they decided to pull the banner down.

Holy poo poo, they finally added the Super Android 13 event to the memories thing, I can finally LR that loving Goku.

And I wasn't after UI Goku, but I wouldn't mind some freebies. I did all three and got Baby Vegeta, FP Frieza, and STR Beerus. So not bad, Beerus was the only new one.

Did they say that publicly? Because saying "hey you can pull this unit on this banner" but not being able to actually do so except for 1 specific spot is going to run afoul of a bunch of countries' laws regarding false advertising.

Maybe they give everyone a free UI Goku if they pulled on the banner (so rip me if that happens).

It was officially stated, iirc, but it was pretty hidden. There’d be no reason to suspect something was up unless you went looking for that specific piece of information.

Is there anything I should 100% be going for right now? I'm grinding my way through LR Zamasu, just need the second tier of medals now but after doing it twice I already have 7, so 50 shouldn't take long once I get my stamina back.

Dunno at what point you took a break for a while but as far as what's open now, the f2p namek Gohan and his EZA are very valuable to do, as well as the daily f2p Ginyu Force. Gohan leading those goobers is kind of the go-to team for the Prime Battle LRs, or at least it has been in the past. There's probably other viable teams for that now, there have been a lot of good drop cards lately, but that team is still really solid.

Thanks that sounds like a plan, the last things that I have built up seem to be around the Goku Black arc the first time it came through because I have a lot of Zamasu and SSB Vegito. Nothing from the tournament arc. When I used to play I whaled pretty hard so I have The old LR TEQ Goku and LR Broly that dominates world tournaments.

Think I'm going to finish up this LR Zamasu because I'm so close then switch over to Gohan, thanks for the info.

There's a lot of EZA events floating around to support the LR SSJ Goku EZA, you need a specific set of 100%ed EZA'd cards to even run it. But yeah, LR STR Zamasu and Kid Gohan are both legit.

Speaking of events, is there a trick I'm missing with SBR? I've got pretty solid teams for a bunch of the categories, but I just get my poo poo kicked in immediately. Is it just a matter of using the right items/should I look into building a team around something other than just insanely high damage output?

I haven't done a lot of SBR, but survivability is pretty important due to the high incoming damage.

It's exactly those two things. Defense is a lot more important in SBR than most game modes. Units like AGL and TEQ gold frieza, STR SS3 Vegeta, and AGL Super-17 are some ideal choices due to having high damage-reduction passives, or TEQ Caulifla and UI Goku who dodge a lot. Also SBR enemies have NO immunites to status effects, so attack-down, SA-sealing and *especially* stuns have a huge impact on survivability. STR SS3 vegeta is a great choice again for stunning, and so is the PHY Metal Cooler movie SS Goku, if you have their EZAs finished. Just to throw out a few examples.

And yeah, careful use of items is important too. 2 defense items and 2 healing items is the default, ideally Icarus and Whis, and Princess Snake and Android 8. Knowing when to use them and when to hold them for later fights can often be the difference-maker, especially for the type-specific SBRs where there are 4 fights instead of 3.

I hit day 2k, yay for six years of playing this game. And I'm at rank 997 so so that grind will be over.

As someone's whose beaten all the SBR and ESBR's, the most important things are damage mitigation (via all of the methods Cid Gregor mentioned) and item usage, as the battles are usually between 4-5 turns long. The most important thing is to go in expecting that you might run into some BS rng.

I always have to do a spreadsheet for those. Real pain in the rear end. It's part of why I haven't finished Team Bardock, gently caress the whole thing. Haven't done F2P LR SSJ Vegeta or Future Trunks, either.

With the refund I managed to finish off my step-up pulls, and actually did pretty well. Picked up some useful dupes, two copies of STR UI Goku (appropriately enough, not on the final step) LR INT Godku and STR Jiren, who I've been after for a while.

AGL Bardock is probably the best of those pulls. He also has a farmable super attack so you won't have to use Kai's. The AGL Pure Sayian Vegeta Lead is a great unit with lots of categories, while if you got the PHY Transforming Vegeta he's all right. Some of the SSR"s might be good if they've gotten an EZA to make them better.

With my refunded stones, I was able to get another dupe for Kefla (and getting her to 79%) and rainbow STR Trunks and Mai.

Just gonna sit on these 600 refund stones. Frieza is my bratty enby bae but I'll probably just throw a few at this banner for TEQ transformer Frieza and Kefla dupes more than him.
