Elementals are easy enough to farm up. It's swirlies you want.

Any swirlies or just the 5* ones?

5*s are the ones needed for evolutions, and also give 100% chance of stat ups to players of the same color.

If you've got like, 4 4* Swirlies of the same color, then it could be worth shelling out the GP for one more 4* Swirly so you can evo it to a 5*.

3* Swirlies just aren't worth it.

EDIT: That being said, I'm not too concerned with +s at the moment and I can get like 2 ~ 3 5* Swirlies every 2 weeks with Boss Points so I don't really place much importance on them.

Don't shell out GP for swirlies until you've got most of your lineup set, or you're way over 1600 GP.

I feel like it's worth it if you need it to evolve something right now.

Otherwise, you could just wait a few weeks for an even boss that has the element you need.

Are you able to control each unique stone you get from combination by using a specific stone in the center, or is it random which of the 4 of the particular color you're using that you're going to get?
Combines of other levels just give you a random one, so most likely random. Which is kind of a pain because I want one specific unique and was grinding up level 15 stones for it until I realised I'd probably get a completely different unique that probably wouldn't be worth it until my whole team was well equipped on stones.

How do you repeatedly get dimension stones? The Silla uniform looks useful, but I'm only getting one stone a week from the colosseum.

Also, I just pulled a Guinevere... is she any good for the midline?

DStones are acquired progressing through Arena League ranks, buying crystals, end of week Coliseum rewards (1-50 depending on COD ranking).... I think that`s it.

If anything, Guin in the video spends the entire time falling or being kicked by Vitos, so I don`t know if that`s meant as joke since she`s bad or just a coincidence.

You also get dimension shards for completing all relationship chains a characters has, and more shards (up to 9 for some) It can be tough when Legendaries or Season 2 draw-only characters are on a list, though.

I forgot about chains; mostly because Ravian's Chains are stupid as fk: Metatron , yeah, of course, I'll get right on that.

Guin can double-attack when fully evolved, and has one of the highest dribbles in the game, meaning teams break themselves attacking her if she has the ball. Good but not great active. Fits at either mid or front, and will make elemental matches simple when evolved and put at center mid.

Any tips on increasing shot power? I'm at the point in pvp where I'm getting OHKO'd fairly easily and it takes me 2-4 shots with a +120 Leventor MSUP with ~42% penetration from stones, another +20 from Guin totem, and Veronica on the field somewhere to add to attack. I can't get Luka to swing a pass that averages anything better than +300, though I haven't fully superbed her yet. But my shots are comparatively awful, even against Light goalies (and sometimes especially against light goalies). Against green goalies it's far worse, getting like 200-300 damage against Black Tortoise or Jin on an indirect shot, maybe 700-800 direct.

Are the teams you're against of a similar rating? Maybe they just have more upgraded stones than you.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
I've been snapping up every Black Hole Swirly and Rainbow elemental that shows up in scout, since I just can not beat them. Is this something I'll want to keep doing even when/if my team is able to beat them reliably?

I've added Tria, the 3* healer to my back row, partially to free up some points so I can evolve my front line, and partially because after doing so, I started crushing some higher level Colosseum teams. But I've noticed that in PvP, Tria's team heal drops from 60% hp to 15% hp. Anyone know why? I'm guessing they specifically nerfed her for PvP, which stinks... but is it just a nerf for her, or did they nerf all healers? I only have Tria right now, but I was hoping to replace her with a 4 or 5* healer in the future... but if they're all capped at 15% hp, I'm not sure why I'd bother.

Stronger clerics also have a partial action bar refill attached to their team heal, which is huge. Not quite as good compared to pre heal nerf, but a few fights with Metatron players will teach you why players that gently caress with the Action Bar are considered to be extremely good.

Next question: I've finally got a natural 5* striker, Uriel. I've trained her to lvl 50, single evolved her... and her stats are still a little lower than my EE 5* Sam. Does her skill list make her better to swap Sam out, or should I wait until I can EE Uriel before benching Sam for good? I do have some stones on Sam, but not Uriel, but I don't think the stones are THAT good, such that it would push Sam so far ahead of a naked player.

For reference--

EE Sam Stats:
Pow 184, Tech 104, Vit 151, Spd 126
Dribble 271, Def 113
Steal 163, HP 343

Action Speed 47, Recovery 0.91
Crit 45.9%, Counter Resist 00%
Crit Dam 56%, Crit Resist 00%
Decrease Dam 9.6%, Penetrate 00%

E Uriel Stats:
Pow 175, Tech 94, Vit 135, Spd 147
Dribble 282, Def 102
Steal 172, HP 303
Pass 78, Reflexes 374

Keep your best players in play as far as your cost will allow. You're not getting much by having two strikers, but even I'm using my first striker, Lucid, as a ghetto attacker by sticking her in midline because she's still fully upgraded and can murder her way through stuff.

For a striker it's all about damage. Usually. A fully evolved Uriel has the capability to refill the action bar of the entire team, which magnifies the danger level of anyone who was getting close to taking a turn.

Uriel maybe part of the korean meta, its pretty nuts watching this one legendary team beat up a team with four. Teamwide action triggers are OP!
