Doin it! Making my way to champ league with abit of luck.


I'd be raking in just under 100 D.stones a month if I can hit champ league consistently and get top 5% for CoD weeklies.

And feel free to apply to BadAtSoccer, could clear out some inactives if someone wants in.

Good luck man, final stretch.

I've recently made some changes to my PvP line-up so I've been steadily going backwards on the ladder. But, I'm still well into Diamond League so I'll keep plugging away at it until I get something to stick.

Why my bullets no hit?
Some things just drive me nuts, like when Leventor gets KO'd and my assist active passes to other assist who doesn't take the shot.

Luka is starting to look way more appealing with how important action speed is and securing that turn. Same with Blade who refills action like a boss.

Well unless you really need that ST fodder right now I'd just hold onto random 5*s incase they get some amazing EE in the future. Last few updates have been pretty lackluster, hopefully theres a big one coming up sometime with the ardor/ww legends.

Yeah I meant thunder :v:, wonder if they'll have another legend GK.

And finally made it to champs woo, I can probably get a legendary via d.stones in like 2-4 months depending if I try working on those links.


Blade starts to seem really good when you get a BoT on her, like if you don't one-shot with Leventor getting several more shots in with Blade maybe better. And Luka is seeming like the best overall in-line assist too? She really needs that thunder pass stone, but shes great at securing passes so you're less likely to get jacked. Kinda making Baltheon look bad with how much action fill/speed some teams can roll with.

Getting that initial pass/shot usually isn't too bad, its the follow up shot you need if you can't one-shot. Luka really help cements that and Blade has that 70% action refill.

Well time to pull Lynia off the bench for a while I guess.

I really wish they'd give more advance notice, because i forgot to restock Thunder elementals after the Raklet EE, and this one was completely out of left field. Now i gotta wait a week to evolve.

Also yeah she went to over to an entirely different genre of anime here.

Its kinda crazy with how many EE's they're throwing at thunder, I mean sure they were sorta the underdog color awhile ago but since Nerua they've been seeming pretty drat strong.

And yeah Lynia's art went into a completely different direction :v:, reflex/action speed on one buff is pretty good but don't think she'll hold well as an attacker compared to Hild. Since I got that dark ca.resist stone on Hild I swear shes the reason I actually made it to champ league.

Thunder has a decent mid-front, but the backline is comparatively bad - pretty much just Nerua, unless you were lucky enough to get Bell, and a GK that will inevitably get OHKO'd.

Of course the next Thunder legend will be a mid-line Leader.

Nute is a decent GK and Raklet has a good totem for the line now too in her EE. Nikita is an okay Long Passer as well with a line HP/Speed buff. Still want someone to be able to bust out of the back well

Bora's getting a new purchasable skin and more importantly getting tweaks to her abilities, one of which is her active which if I understand it right drains enemy line of spirit meter and action bar. Not sure if it will make a huge splash since in the current meta Bora's damage is considered to be really bad.

If the translation/mechanics aren't wonky, her changed passive will drain up to 20% action and 15% spirit per player in the position. I don't think she'll be immediately great due to suffering from ardor striker curse of lovely stone slots.

I just run Hild as my linebreaker and murder everyones action on the way to the front, helps that I have a will of meta so she can pretty much recover 50% action with a maxed blue pen stone.

Bell busts out great, but good luck snagging her outside of luck/dimension stones. Don't mind me, I'm just butthurt that I've gotten within 3 points of Champions League four times now with a solid mono-thunder team and then falling back because I run into annoying gimmick teams.

Don't use your Litres / Beezlebubs until you understand how superb mechanics work and which characters are worth investing in, and scout them whenever possible. Scout Legendary characters no matter what, unlocking your extra scout slots is a good idea too. Early on, use crystals to do 10+1 pulls as virtually any 5* card will be helpful, though keep in mind that team cost will make it hard to build a team with all your best cards for awhile. Also check the player book in the manager tab for crystals, you won't complete most of the lines unless you get very lucky but some like the penguins and swirlies are easy to complete for free crystals.

Don't scout managers. Unless they're named Lucy, Gerold, or Marineco. Perial and Clover are good too.

Do your daily achievements. Buy a cheap 5 GP penguin or two each day, if you buy 20 to complete the season achivement (resets every 2 weeks) you get 100 GP back, so you break even and still get the daily rewards.

Do spend 10 crystals at the shop to buy penguin matches. You get three per purchase, they're very easy to do and 6* penguins give a tremendous amount of exp.

e: Actually checking the reddit FAQ is pretty good: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccerspirits/comments/3dlyvf/soccer_spirits_faq_and_beginner_guide_v122/

If you can`t play a lot every day and want to do dailies, use a ST efficient dungeon from challenge mode (3 ST for the early ones).

Far less XP but allows you to get them over quickly... or be like me and use rush hour to do them.

If you don`t have much gold, use low star count stones for the power-up daily and sell them to gain the gold back.

nftyw basically covered everything else like a know-it-all ;)

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
Are scouting and the FP draw the most reliable way to get swirlies? I was thinking about the weekend match, but not even its hell-mode guarantees you a swirly, and the crystal matches are out of my league.

I don't know how, and I haven't been able to repeat it, but I beat one crystal swirly match (with a AAA ranked team). It gave me a 4* swirly, not a 5*.

Drakes

Don't forgot boss points for swirlies, I usually use those for extra stat-ups if I don't need to EE anyone. And the weekend match rates are like 1-2% for a 5* so its generally more about the gold from them.

I try making a habit of keeping a 5* swirly of each color on hand or atleast a bunch of 4*s to evolve into a 5* overtime.

Speaking of bosses, do we know what element the next boss will be? From looking at the wiki, the bosses are on a sort of cycle?

Costs 3x the crystals, and is a super hard match to boot. I can get black hole swirlies and rainbow swirlies every time. He'll level elemental matches during the week? Super easy now. But I purchased a set of three swirlie matches to try them out, and I've been able to beat only one. I don't even know how I scraped that victory... The other two swirlie matches are still just sitting in my list, taunting me.

Not really, but they seem to go for an even spread of elements usually. Although I they've cycled in the two newer bosses kinda closely lately.

There's no guarantee that they will stick to their ace, but you can't go wrong with aces like Metatron, [Pass] assists like Nari/Baltheon/Luka etc, or a striker if you need some additional power. Silla is also a great ace because she is virtually 'halve all damage taken from the first attack suffered' and she doesn't have an element requirement so is usable on even the most rainbow teams. Verister is like a Dark silla and is an option as well.
