Vincent Valentine posted:Before I pulled today, my two most hated sets were Shadow Corps and Mad Guitarist. 3* sets in general are my bane(I have 2/3 beast rain, 1/3 Outer Space, gently caress-all else that isn't a store/event/package set), but those two in particular are just the prime ingredient in that poo poo sandwich. Not because of the quality of the sets, but because before I pulled today I had 11 pieces of Shadow Corps, and 15 pieces of Mad Guitarist. Shadow corps (and other team boosting sets) are surprisingly good in guild raid. Like, even goddamn Here Comes the Gnome is getting use as people try to eke out every little bit of damage they can. Also, I've got +13 armor/ring from shadow corps on my BOH Krut because it provides the last bump he needs to hit 100% crit rate.

I don't want to disparage the quality of the sets(as you mentioned, they've become really popular among the Really Good Players™ and players significantly better than I have mentioned them more than once. I don't have the rest of the gear to make them really shine, but I recognize their value.), it's just the sheer volume of them versus the total lack of other, game-changing sets that gets me down. I can't do any of the cool counter builds because I only have one piece of outer space(that I got so long ago it's on Carrot because I thought the stats were good and knew nothing else about the set), and while I get the 60% attack from Beast Rain the 3rd piece would really make a difference. But I have an entire set of +13 Mad Guitarist AND Shadow Corpse because I started running out of inventory space and what else was I gonna do with them?

Good god the FWT community isn't just complaining about the changes to the rainbow capsule system, they're outraged. Reddit's even worse than facebook today. There's a guy on the FWT Subreddit who got this pull and is furious about it, lol:  "Why are they giving us items that aren't featured?" -->  --> "Why are the A rank featured sets the most common?"

This, but it just has to be pink, which means +9 or you got it already pinked. That said, the bonuses for such are: Plat: +12% per level, max +12. A rank: +12% per level, max 13. S rank: +15% per level, max 13 SS rank: +20% per level, max 13. It should be pretty apparent that you should never use your transcendence tickets on anything lower than SS, if at all possible. If you have one-ofs of a good set, you can go ahead and transcend them and use them as normal items with absurd stats, they'll still be there when you complete the set.

Mad Guitarist is pretty good as a transcended set if you can +13 all of it. It's bow/armor/ring so it works on a lot of heroes. Just consider the set effects as a minor bonus.

I really like Mad Guitarist on Krut because he soaks up a lot of hits in GR and DB. Also I have a lot of it, so I have his at +11. I've got a set on Deimos as well. I wouldn't be quite so thrilled if it weren't Bow/Armor/Ring.

Did the 3* x10 free pull... got THREE Mad Guitarist belts. Not full sets, just the belts. And the kicker is, I already had one! Just the belt! My main team is already kitted out in sets (2x Sweet and Scary, 2x Tiger Claw Guardian, Muz's set, Rask's set), and the new characters all came with their own 3* sets exclusive to them, which I have, so I seemingly have nowhere to PUT these mad guitarists. I'm considering just alchemising them, unless anyone has any suggestions. I'm loathe to waste diamonds on 'em unless there's an actual point to it.

I've gotten Jack to 3* and thrown some decent gear on him, now I can at least manually complete Krut 2 - it'll lose if I put it on auto because the first two character slots focus on the side groups instead of Krut himself, but I can manually grind it out. Sitting now at 343/720 genes to get him and I really hope I can close this gap in the remaining four days... I don't think it will be too rough, since I can buy the Energy Potions from the Halloween event shop, but I'm wondering if I'll manage to get enough to advance his skills to any appreciable amount.

I feel like i have the right tools and gear to beat this it just hasn't come together yet. Nope. I did it via Banshee + Muz slots 4 and 5, with Spooky, Celestial, and Lee in 1-3. Banshee took the lower tile, got trapped in, and I let celestial get good and aggroed on her and then moved Muz and Lee up carefully. High morale + attacks later, done. This was before the damage reflect, even.

The Bearman/Mu/Krut at the top and a combination of Nirvana/Nox/Persona/Yeka/Chris at the bottom, aka the Reyson Hellfire strat, feels like the easiest/most reliable. Did it with naked Bearman, Mu, Nox (4*) and Nirvana (3*), relying solely on my Krut for DPS. Had to respec Lord mastery to High Morale, coop damage and Rock hero dmg to barely beat the 18 turn timer. Probably would've been a turn earlier if I wasn't so lazy in shuffling gear around for the naked heroes, if I bothered to level Nox to 5* and gear him properly or if I used a good Krut merc to help DPS.

Currently one set is on Henry (he deep strikes into enemy lines) and Deimos has the special SS 3* set that is essentially Unbeatable Warlord with extra stuff. Who else should I put this Unbeatable Warlord on? -Have a full 4* Dragon Slayer set (Lava walk, +3K damage) on Deimos. Other set is on Raskreia (which works quite well). Should I switch the Dragon Slayer set from Deimos to someone else? -Got 2 pieces (+1 move) of 2* SS Cave Chaser. Who is priority?

1) project valk is good, but hard to build. Make sure you can actually get your Val to 30% dodge. 2) Transcend your first set. 3) It's only 60,000 gold to move a set. Put it on whoever you're using currently.

So the OP has NinjaDebugger saying (way back in April):quote:Honestly... if I were all the way back at the start again, and powering through everything up to Lily, I'd probably make my core midgame team Lance, Lily, Serendi, Gillan, and Mu, swapping in Jack for Gil as necessary for SSing bosses. Would you still stand by that? I've been using Valkyrie, Jack, Krut, Serendi, Spooky lately. So I guess swapping Valk for Lance and Spooky for Gillan is doable in theory, but is it worth it? I really like Spooky but she obviously loses something if you don't have a Banshee to combo with and her auto AI doesn't use her abilities as heals, only attacks, which sucks.

4 days of pulls, only 4 A set pieces in all. Not feeling good about that, as a newbie I feel kinda hamstrung without any real full sets. I'm trying to figure if I should blow my energy potions to max chenny, or hold on to them for zombie Lucas. I know that I should just wait for her lost island again, but it's hard convincing myself of that!

DemonMage posted:So the OP has NinjaDebugger saying (way back in April): I'd try to replace Spooky with Celestial ASAP. The sustain on her passive, even if you leave it at rank 5 for a while, is insane for PvE/autoing. I'd also keep Deb up to date for scissor damage as appropriate, and consider replacing Serendi with her until you can get skill/gear/costume up Serendi. If I was building a midgame team with what's 100% available, I'd probably go Celestial/Valk/Jack/any/any. Story characters for the other slots: Serendi is great once she's put together but not as special until then now that Celestial has easier and free debuff removal. Deb is super cheap to level and skill up and can carry you for a good long while, but she falls off in the late game. Gil is good, but you probably won't need his disarm and heal if you have Valk's taunt, and Celestial's seal/passive heal/debuff removal. Chris and Albert aren't bad to fill in a slot if you need CC or stun, especially since they're so easy to skill up and you get lots of free stuff for Chris. They stay relevant in the coocoo dungeons, too, so getting them to mid 4*s isn't really a waste. For non-story characters, Krut/Deimos/Cheney are no-brainers to round out that squad if you can get them. I got through most of the story with a squad of Celestial, Deb, and Jack as my first 5*s (feeding each one all the coocoos of that color), then Valk, Serendi, and Deimos as my next 3. I'd have definitely done Krut if I had him, but I only unlocked him yesterday.

I went with another recommendation here and did 1/Passive/3/2 But honestly they're all awesome. 2 is the crappiest AE of them, but does have a good 1 turn buff and a solid heal attached to it. And that's his least useful skill. Also you can max 1 + passive for the cost of maxing either of the other skills. DemonMage fucked around with this message at 01:38 on Oct 17, 2016 |
