I noticed that we have two slots open in Al-goona for clone evolution, but I didn't want to accept applications because I don't know the waiting list order. I'd imagine hootington will take care of getting two more people into our already mega-awesome guild as soon as possible.

That daisy chaining looks interesting. I've been just dumping all my clones into the clones I might want to use in the future, maybe I'll look into just daisy chaining them into each other and saving them for an actually useful clone.

I wonder if it is bugged. I still dont see it even though i have a red circle saying there is a request.

I spend my gems on refreshes and acclerate tickets from the shop and arena tickets.

To be honest, the gems don't seem to be all that useful. I mean, they are a nice little extra if you see a really nice scroll or something, but I've been mostly using them to purchase casino coins (don't do this, it never gives you anything good!) and occasionally get some arena tickets. You get a pretty decent trickle every day just for completing all the daily tasks, so if you play relatively actively you can save up a couple hundred pretty quick.

That being said, I saved up 2,000 and dumped them on the 10x pull for advanced clones. I got 3 blues out of that deal, which was pretty nice. So maybe think about doing that?

Welp that's annoying. I joined a random guild and left, hopefully that might fix it when i next send the invite which apparently isnt for another 8 hours due to just leaving a guild.

Got two purples: American Bison (who is he supposed to be?) and Shakespeare from the free clone pulls due to the maintenance so i'm pretty happy.

Looks like Adventure Communist was released a few weeks back. Didn't see any discussion of it here. It seems... pretty bad? Like Adventure Capitalist was a decent bog-standard 'make numbers go up' game, but this one feels like it was made by people who didn't understand how the genre works. Instead of making your numbers go up to earn prestige points which then make your numbers go up more next time, you get the prestige points through earning medals, which are basically achievements. And there's a limited number of them, and you hit a brick wall about three prestiges in. I'm looking at earning my next 10 points or so after grinding for, I don't know, a week? And those ten points will be enough to give a tiny boost to one thing, making the next iteration barely any faster. I don't get how they messed it up this badly, although I'm sure the answer is probably money.

Looking for just about any turn based game--preferably of the puzzle or jrpg/tactics variety, that is VERY good with being interrupted without penalty.

Games like Dungeon Raid, Fire Emblem Heroes, etc, have no issues with games being interrupted or even the game shutting off.

Alchemist code is very seamless at switching like this and is a grid and turn based jrpg.

It's attempting to be a bit like Derivative Clicker but yeah, mixing whaling practices in made it really bad. I tried it just to see if it was better than the beta version where you eventually were hugely capped by comrades and would need to spend science just to get close to the numbers needed for more medical units and so on but it looks like all they've done is turn science into a cap as well. Adventure Capitalist probably wouldn't have taken off if it hadn't been the first memorable 'make numbers go up' game - the web version is impossible to finish and I suspect Adventure Communist is too though I don't envy anyone trying to do the math on that.

Got 3 more blues from the free 3 scrolls!

Once you hit account level 45, you can feed greens and grays to the Institute in order to level up bonuses for the elemental types. Only one type's bonuses can be active at a time, but it looks like they get pretty significant when they level up a bit.

I got free Perfect Clone scrolls through this event. Now I've got the the two purple Lucky Charlies that I got through 10-pulls on advanced clones, augmented by Trump, Bach and Stalin all in purple. The blues I've been leveling and that still make up my strength include Hillary, "Fort", Lee, Ben Franklin and Blackbeard... now I've got to restructure and reprioritize my team and leveling up. It's weird that getting new, stronger heroes actually makes me LESS excited about the game in a weird way because I have to restructure my team now.

Here's the tier list from the JP version, which shows the long term viability of units. Some of them are considered mediocre if you can't unlock their second or third jobs which makes it harder to evaluate a good single pull since we can't farm say... Anastasia's shards like you can there.



If you want to play the long game, I'd say pulling past the first step for limited time collaboration (e.g. the Disgaea units that show in the tier list), not just the boosted normal summons (all we have right now) is the way to go.

That said new limited list has: Magnus (S-A), Elizabeth (A-B), Zahar (B-C), Rahu (SS)
vs other list: Anastasia (S-A), Elizabeth (A-B), Magnus (S-A), Reagan (B-C)

So you're better off pulling on the newer one, especially since 4* is probably more common meaning you can get multiple Rahu easier. And in theory Rahu is better as J3 I think it is. I still find her pretty fun(ny) as a Chronomancer though.

From the reroll/pull guide

quote:

Should I roll?
500 cost 10 pulls for units are basically always worth it.
300 cost 10 pulls for gear are basically always worth it too. Sometimes you’ll want to roll all 3 steps for particularly good gear, or collab gear.

Beyond that is more dubious, especially if you’re f2p or only buy the monthly pack. With the exception of a small handful of limited characters (Baruto, Mierikki, Eve, Freiz, Lucretia, Uzuma - none of which are released on global yet) and collab characters, you’ll have a chance to farm or roll these characters later (and the non-collab limiteds keep showing up anyway, but they’re not normally farmable). I’ll note in the unit reviews when a unit is limited or collab. But the rule of thumb is that you want to save up your gems to roll on limited or collab banners. If there’s someone you really want on a regular 3 step and you’ve got the gems, well. I’m not the boss of you. Go for it if you want. And 9 step gacha is for whales, don’t roll it if you’re not a whale.

It also specifically talks about the current banners in more detail too.

Hot tip for autoing Gear Projection in Alchemist Code: Put someone in Slot 3 with 5 move and 2+ jump, they'll run right for the chest instead of wiping out the whole map before looting the chest like with low move/long range characters.
