Most heroes have an S rating in cooperation, which means their functional cooperation bonus goes up a whole 10% when they do a coop attack, since their effectiveness goes from C to SS, as far as I know, and coop bonus increases it by two ranks. It caps out at 80% of Attack, and he starts at 70% with everybody.

Speaking of, isn't there an exception who has a B in cooperation, despite literally using cooperation as their skill gimmick damage boost? Some of the design decisions in FWT are just so bizarre

Double posting, but this is actually kind of important. anybody who's hurting for gold, don't be neglecting the current gold event. You can rake in a pretty consistent 50k autoing a chaos boss stage on island 6+, and not much less for Hard and Hell. Unless you really need the mats, I wouldn't be bothering much with nepthys beyond coocoos during this event.

It can be difficult if you haven't maxed AoE characters like Alfred and/or have no aoe friends (like Yekaterina) though.

I mean refining mats and rebirth golems. The sunday only dungeons are worth doing, period. The mana rock dungeon is even worth resetting once you have it at 10. 20 crystals for 3000 mana rocks is literally the only conversion rate you can get, and isn't that bad, considering the rate you get them at normally.

Set list is out for the next week. If you're gonna be making pulls, I'd be making them 10x three star pulls. Tiger Claw Tribe Guardian was turned into an excellent A-rank set in the update, and both Wilderness Desperado and Beast Rain Project Prototype were good all along, all three are excellent sets in pretty much every respect. Two star is less amazing, because the A-rank is best as a 2-piece to give your area attackers extra MP, but Extra Curriculum is such a good set for all purposes that it may make it worth it to have too many Ancient Witch pieces and just pitch the extras for alchemy gauge and modification pots. Just remember to boost them to pink before extracting them. Slime King's Dignity is amazing now, but the other two sets at 1 star are trash, the A-rank at 4 star is trash. The five star sets are all okay to great, but Sione's Ominous Prophecy is only good as a full set, so beware there. I wouldn't bother unless you're already packing partials on all three and want to try for Eldrika's.

Are there enough people playing that it's worth creating a 2nd Goon Guild you think? Also; is there a goon chat channel in particular you guys tend to use for guild overflow? I've not seen a message in Channel 91 all day, there seem to be plenty of completely unused channels.

I think nobody really uses alternate channels because you have to change it every time, or so it seemed when I tried it. I think we had all the goons that idled out come back, we'd have enough goons for two guilds, but as it stands, I was often able to remove one idle goon for every goon that wanted in. People who are active but not in the goon guild, by all means, speak up.

There are plenty of maps like these in ToD where platforms won't spawn until a certain turn. It's either endure whatever they toss at you until you can move OR take advantage of the enemies isolated on their own platforms.

Yep, platforms that only appear over time is a pretty big part of Tower of Dawn. Also, unlike what you'd think, winged characters in FWT can't cross map gaps or other impassable terrain. Poni is stymied by swamps and water just as much as any other character.

Goal is SS Ashan before Moon Island unlocks seems like it will be tougher than I thought. All I have left is: Ashen-8 Hard, Hell, Chaos Ashen-12 Chaos Ashen-8 seems doable. Hell is just annoying due to swamp. I almost did Chaos, but Elektra got one-shot due to poor placement. Ashen-12 Chaos on the other hand...that stage is a nightmare thanks to completely separating the boss area with swamp tiles. Guess I'll need to build up my Mu and hope I can beat the stage in 10 turns with ???, Mu, Serendi, Gillan, and Jack (who I can get over gap with a merc swap)

You lose hit/crit, gain probably 350 attack total, and probably come out a net of +500ish defense and some dodge, compared to Sword/Bow + Armor + Necklace. Technically you also get +Counter Damage, but that's not terribly important to most people.

So I'm actually going to advise against getting the set, not because it's mediocre, but because it cost 1200 AA per piece. The event last 12 days and there are more important things to spend your AA on. Definitely save up for the Diamonds and Perfect Genes because they are extremely useful and hard to obtain normally. Devil's Soul and Ian's costume are next. If you can somehow manage to still save up 3600 AA after buying all that, then go for it. Also buy every daily item, because they're all useful. edit: USE ALL YOUR HONOR SWORDS I know some people don't like to PvP but you should heavily consider using up all your swords at every chance you get. Thanks to this patch, you get 3 Honor Coins for winning and 1 HC for losing. This is really good because if you participate in 100 battles per week, you can earn anywhere from 200 HC by losing all 100 matches or 400 HC by winning all 100 matches. Either way, it's a lot of HC and really for newer players who can't reach a high ranking position. If you really hate PvP, at least randomly pick an opponent and set the match to auto.

I can't do the math right now, but I was thinking about potentials, the diminishing returns of Defense, and Defence vs Damage Subtraction. The difference between a Def of 7,333 and 7,588 is roughly 1% (~51 and 52 %). Where is the break point in Def where you trade in your potentials for +350 - +400 def to damage subtraction? At the def 51% I moved all +def to -dmg on Chris

Helical Nightmares posted:I can't do the math right now, but I was thinking about potentials, the diminishing returns of Defense, and Defence vs Damage Subtraction. Never trade your +Def to -Dmg. Even if you're only gettin half a percent worth of damage reduction out of that +Defense, that's still going to be nearly as much damage reduction as the -Damage gets you, and it also acts as a buffer against defense reduction and defense ignore. It takes something like 23000 defense to hit 70% defense, but only like 12000 to hit 65%, and like 10000 to hit 60%. If you're at 70% and get hit with an attack that has 5000 defense ignore, you're going to take about 2.5% more damage. Get hit with the same attack when you're at 60% and you're going to eat like 20% more damage. Foppington posted:You're a statistics monster, I'm impressed how well you see things blend together. The general rule for equips is Bow/Armor/Ring for DPS, Sword/Armor/Brooch for tanks (as tanks tend to have poo poo hit rates). You have two people on your main team that break that rule. Carrot is so fragile that if anything hits her she's probably going to explode, so stack boots and dodge on her, and Serendi's a bit less fragile, but still pretty bad, and also wants to maintain her HP at 80% or higher, so going boots on her is a valid choice. The other rule is, equip just enough necklaces to get to approximately 100% Mastery. Every 100 mastery you get, up to the cap, is about an extra half percent of damage. Characters that start down 2800 mastery from the magic 10k mark will do between 72 and 100% damage on their attacks. Getting mastery to 100% changes that to a flat 100% damage.

Foppington posted:Anyway I can find some accessories? The find rate on them is very low, the only ones I received were from the last potion event. The easiest way to get them is gacha, but also most expensive. You'll get a very few as achievement or specific level rewards for first time beats, but otherwise, you're stuck with events and the Sphinx's Maze on sundays, where you'll get probably 1 accessory (unenchanted) per 10 runs or so. Once you've got your expedition rewards and lord masteries, it's valid, though not super recommended, to drop some gems into gacha pulls of whatever level you need more accessories on. The other thing you can do is make sure you're refining gear up to blue before you alchemize it. That way, you can turn normal poo poo + energy in nepthys into platinum gear, which has pretty good odds of being a platinum accessory.

Mardragon posted:God the new PvP map is awful, any tips? Slot 1: DPS Slot 2: Main tank Slot 3: Off tank Slot 4: Someone with decent movement who can show up late to one of the other fights and make it no longer a fight. Your DPS should move towards whichever side it can score a quick kill on. From there, tactics depend on what happens. You can send somebody out to fetch the group heal in the center if they get stranded, or if you need the heal to keep someone alive until you can get support to them.

Haha, of course Belle's buff/debuff removal is tied to skill level. Have fun spending a year PVP-ing to get those up to 100%. My math may be off, you do get waay more medals now. Oh, and shouldn't all characters get brooches? I thought +dmg from HP on accessories made the HP you got from brooches give you more consistent damage than the crit rating from rings (if you don't have pink +dmg% and +atk% on all your gear and you can burn potions fishing for +critical dmg%)? Not to mention you do 0 damage when your dude dies. Foppington posted:Anyway I can find some accessories? The find rate on them is very low, the only ones I received were from the last potion event. I've been playing for ~2 months and I have at least 5 accessories for each level without running Sphinx or doing pulls, they come eventually just from normal play.

Current PvP map is great because if the enemy goes first, my Chenny gets to nuke 2 heroes at once and anyone still alive gets cleaned up by Muzaka.  Currently getting a bunch of easy wins because people haven't changed their party positions to fit the current map.

That said, all brooches and fishing for max HP->Attack conversions is a valid tactic, and my pov has become somewhat skewed because I'm at the highest ranks of PVP, where your main concern is not getting oneshotted by people who have disadvantage, to say nothing of people who are neutral or have advantage on you.

Been trying to SS Ashan 10-12 Chaos. Been using Deborah, Chenny, Serendi, Jack, Gillan, with Serendi friend to help ferry Jack across swamp patch. On my last Serendi friend, I got a chain of good luck and managed to get one turn away from finishing. Only boss and Sonic Boom left. Sonic Boom proceeds to avoid 2 CC's, not die from Jack, and then insta-kills Jack. gently caress

Honestly if I could, I would totally run Sraka and Sonic together in PvP just for the RNG insta deaths.  Can't wait for the later stages to have insta death gimmicks because they can't keep making HP sponge enemies with high attack.
