Join the GLOBAL Server! Discord : https://discord.gg/TQjKnsv  Current Information; NOV 2016 quote:SAVE YOUR RED CRYSTALS     Looking Forwards Nexon has stated there is at least one, possibly two more, collaborations with worldwide IPs. In addition we expect more limited edition costumes in December so save your Red Crystals. Fantasy War Tactics! Android: http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexon.fwar iOS: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fantasy-war-tactics/id1016343603?mt=8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JTOI8Rw10E Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Fwar/ Forums: https://m.nexon.com/forum/4-Fantasy-War-Tactics      What is this? Freemium, tactical grid-based, turn-based combat, party management game by the Korean publisher Nexon. Think a very polished game in the style of Final Fantasy Tactics or Disgaea but without the ability to break the game over your knee with certain hero combinations.  Don't be worried about the Freemium aspect. You get deluged with IAP currency and freebies. On the first two islands or so (hour or so into the game) auto attack WILL clear the levels automatically. The game IS very tactical you just have to spend time to get there. I want a more in depth description. You can make a team of up to 5 heroes. There are 64 HEROES.               No Heroes require IAP!* [* Except for Seira (3-16)] Heroes can increase in level and be evolved up to 5 stars. Each star gets you another skill than can also be leveled. Also each hero has a favored terrain. At least one. There is a rock paper scissors mechanic. You can equip 3 slots of equipment, which you can level. Everytime you get another star on your hero you unlock three more equipment slots. There are also equipment sets like Diablo 2 Every star on your hero allows you to give them yet another bonus by spending blue crystals. Don't like it? You can reroll it! You can also reroll random stats you get on equipment! Heroes attack cooperatively! Some heroes have a bonus to helping a specific hero, which yes unlocks more hero bonus damage buddies as you get more stars on a hero! There is a weird rear end anime story! Send your heroes off on expeditions where they come back automatically with experience and treasure! There are tactical spaces on the battlefield that are critical to control! New Game Modes added all the time!!! Planned Multi-year Support!  Hero/Costume Gallery            (the sphere orbits the character...)  (...and so does the skull)       How Much Pay to Win is this game really? As stated previously the IAP currency, Red Crystals Nexon is very generous about giving out. The paywall only accessible items are as follows (as of 6-22-16): -Noblesse Hero Seira ($100). The verdict on Seira is that she is nice but in no way overpowered. -Exclusive Costumes (minor stat boosts) for Event Heroes -Soul Gear (see post 3 for definition) for all Noblesse Heroes ($50 each). https://m.nexon.com/forum/thread/6814-06.16-Patch-Note   Goon analysis of Noblesse Soul Gear Nomadic Scholar posted:Eh, I expected some sort of fuckery like this with it being a Nexon title and all. They pull this kinda poo poo with all their games at some point or another. Also finally got Rask, so hopefully things go more smoothly with the event levels for me. NinjaDebugger posted:I'll tell you what I've been saying on the discord all day. None of the bonuses on offer for the Noblesse heroes are so big that they are going to make a significant difference in BoH or guild raid. I'm pretty well invested in this at this point, and I'm definitely not going to bother with Seira or Raskreia, and may not bother with Muzaka or Raizel. I'll probably grab Frank, because it looks essentially like what I wanted for him all along, and may make him actually playable, though probably still nowhere near top tier. Somefool posted:Yeah, this is pretty lovely. Each set is priced at 55000 Won which is actually around $47 each. I wouldn't buy these even if the effects seem good.

Goon New Player Guide or  There is TOO MUCH STUFFGoon Guilds posted:
What server should I join? All the goons are on the GLOBAL server What do I do with Blue Crystals (Mana Stones) If you want to min/max DO NOT WASTE THEM UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING Blue Crystals (Mana Stones) are the currency for a Hero's "Potential"  Potential gives your Hero more stats. That's it but you want to maximize the stat bonus you get. Do not modify the Potential until the potential level is three starred as in the image. It takes 100 Mana Stones to level a one star Potential to a two star. 300 Mana Stones to get a two star Potential to a three star. If you just evolved your one star Hero to a two star Hero it costs 100 Mana Stones to unlock a new Potential slot. At a three star Potential Level, for 80 Mana Stones you roll on the maximum but random stat bonus table.  So modifying the Potential when the Potential Level is less than three stars is a waste of Mana Stones. What is the priority for using Red Crystals (IAP currency)? NinjaDebugger posted:Explorations, then lord masteries, period. After that things get pretty open. Lord costumes are at best a third investment. Now that decent coocoos are coming back, a good way to go from f2p tier to dolphin tier is to get random set items from tower and daily bonuses and then, when those sets come up in the store, drop a bunch of crystals completing your sets. There are an insane number of things you can use Red Crystals for. And you get a bunch in the first couple islands of play. Maybe 300-400 with the novice bonus and just playing for free. -The consensus is the first priority is to unlock access to a second Expedition.  Expeditions are unlocked in the second Island I think? (verify). Sending a Hero on Expeditions allows you to get Ancient Coins (currency to unlock rare heroes), Hero experience, Gold and Blue Crystals automatically after a set amount of time. The more expeditions you have unlocked, the faster you can unlock those rare heroes. I think it is around 200-300 Red Crystals to unlock the second Expedition (Expedition level 4). -Lord Masteries ... -Lord Costumes ... -Hero Costumes. These cost about 600 Red Crystals and give stat bonuses when equipped. If you start now you get a Pirate Costume for your beginning Hero, the White Knight. Hero Costume bonuses stack. (this shows the IAP costume for the White Knight)  -10x Golden Equipment Capsule. This is the gatcha machine in the Store. Usually you get a Blue (Epic) piece of equipment. I have only encountered Green (Rare) and Blue pieces of equipment. If you have the patience, save up enough Red Crystals to do a 10x pull, so you get at least one Red (Unique) piece of equipment. Why wait for a 10x pull? You can get Set Equipment from the Golden Equipment Capsule machine Golden Equipment Capsules are the only way to get Set Items. There are Set Items for every Hero Star Level (one star through five star) Golden Equipment Capsules are the only way to get accessories.From a tiny sample size of 8 two star pulls I got 3 accessories. I recommend pulling for equipment only once you have a 2 star hero. 2 star equipment starts to drop at the end of the Third Island (Company) and generally you will get a better quality 2 star equipment from the Golden Capsule. Rebirthing Heroes to 2 stars quickly outpaces the rate at which 2 star gear drops. You will get plenty of materials to quickly upgrade your 1 star equipment to begin with. -Expand your Equipment Storage You get 50 storage slots for equipment. Sounds great right? The problem becomes that this is 50 storage slots total. Not 50 storage slots per star of equipment (50 1* storage, 50 2* storage, etc.) The first two five slots of equipment storage expansion cost 10 Red Crystals each. The third five slots of equipment storage expansion costs 15 Red Crystals so I assume that the cost of storage will increase the more you purchase. What do I do with all this gold? DO NOT SPEND GOLD ON HERO EXP UNLESS -You are fusing a "yellow cat" monster to your Hero. These have the highest experience per gold ratios. Fusing the normal monsters to Heroes for exp is generally a massive waste of gold.  (A yellow cat) -Enhance/Refine equipment You will be spending most of your gold on upgrading equipment. Oh so much gold. And why does it cost so much gold you ask? Well first of all there is a failure rate when you try to upgrade equipment. From the forums as such this is  quote:[Enhancement Section] -Fishing for the best Equipment Once a piece of equipment is Refined (takes materials and gold) from a Normal +3 equipment to a Green (Rare) +3 equipment the equipment acquires a random stat bonus. Naturally this is a game about stacking massive numbers so you want to find the best stat bonuses for your team. To save gold you will want to eventually set up a bank of several Normal pieces of equipment upgraded to +3 then Refine them to Green (Rare) as materials permit. I want to play more! I need more Stamina! Check the lab.  Once you hit level 18 you can harvest 50 stamina twice per day in a three hour window.Get that free stamina twice? Have 2 red crystals from completing a daily quest. Fail a mission? I've gotten as much as 70% of my used stamina back  Out of Stamina? Play 1:1 PvP. It gives stamina rewards as a drop. The PvP Gauntlet Dimensional Breakthrough can also give you stamina rewards as a drop! Join a guild! Currently guilds max out at 20 members. If 18 members press the attendance button in one day, each guild member gets 50 energy that day! Play PvE Tower of Dawn and grab those Energy Potions at levels 2, 12, 22, etc.. You may want to save those energy potions until you are a higher level since they refill your total energy! Want even more stamina? Pull the Frendship Point gatcha, sometimes it gives Stamina drops. Seriously, if after all that you want more Stamina, pay the man. This game throws stuff at you like there is no tomorrow. Notes on Expeditions -You may find Relics on Expeditions  That red bar and crown indicates your Hero will comeback with a Relic. As far as I have found, Relics are random events that boost the discovery of items. I have found the Old Gold Coins and Mana Chunk Relics that doubled the Expedition's Gold and Mana Stone rewards, respectively. -Red Crystals can be found on Expeditions   It's rare but it happens. -Buying Gene Fragments to unlock Heroes with Ancient Coins has a Daily Cap.  **Cap has been raised to 20/day! Spend them when you got 'em. What does the SS, S, A and B score for a dungeon mean? Your dungeon score is determined by how many turns you take to clear the dungeon. In most dungeons the score is be reduced by one letter grade (SS to S) per member of your party that dies. To see details about a dungeon score for a particular dungeon, press the magnifying glass icon on the right most side of the Dungeon Details screen above the dungeon play button. Every letter grade by which you successfully complete a dungeon you get one treasure drop. So if you score SS in clearing a dungeon you will get the maximum of 4 treasure drops. Once you score SS when clearing a dungeon, you can take as long as you like (and lose almost all your party members save one) and still get the maximum reward of 4 treasure drops. Basically, acquire an SS score by running the dungeon with your best team then farm the dungeon with auto-retry using a less powerful team to improve their experience. Equipment, or Staring Into The Abyss  -So what the gently caress is this? Each Hero can equip a Weapon, a Protection and an Accessory per Star level. Weapons can be Swords, Hammers, or Bows Protection can be Shields, Armor, or Boots Accessories can be Badges, Necklaces or Rings Equipment ranges in strength from +0 to +9. Each piece of Equipment can have up to four "Equipment Potentials" (bonuses) For example:  The sword with the pink background is a Legendary Sword. This was a new player gift. Since it is a Legendary item I can upgrade the sword all the way to +9 (if the item is a lower rarity you have to upgrade and enhance the weapon, the tutorial explains this). Underneath the "Hit Rate" of the Sword are four lines in various colors. Each of these four lines is a bonus referred to as an Equipment Potential. The color of the Equipment Potential indicates how rare the Equipment Potential is. Again the color code is white (least rare), green, blue, red, pink (most rare). A Rare (green) piece of equipment will have one Equipment Potential, an Epic (blue) will have two and so on. -Percentages? Numbers? What do they mean? +100 of something = +1% of something EXCEPT DEFENSE AND DODGE  It is my understanding that in a recent patch the Devs buffed Defense. This suggests they are still tinkering with the combat formulas so this information may be perishable. In the above pictures compare the red bonuses to Defense. 349 Points of Defense gives a percentage bonus of 5.07 Defense. This suggests that 100 points of Defense equals +1.45% to Defense. However, compare another pair of data points. In white, 2,641 Points of Defense gives a percentage Defense of 28.38% . Together this suggests that as the Points of Defense accrue in a category the value for 100 points of Defense approaches +1% of Defense. Simple comparison of the Dodge numbers reveal a similar non-linear trend that approaches the value for 100 points of Dodge approaches +1% of Dodge. So I think I can say safely that at large numbers (>~2000?), +100 of something = +1% of something-  gently caress that. Which Equipment Potentials are actually useful, Christ Unsurprisingly the rarity of an Equipment Potential does not necessarily correlate with it's usefulness to you. For example:  A bonus to Counter Rate is certainly rarer than a Dodge bonus but if my Hero is dead I can't benefit from the chance of a counter attack. So according to this post : https://m.nexon.com/forum/thread/470-Enhancement-and-Refinement-Information The most valuable Equipment Potentials are in order: + Critical Hit%, HP Regeneration, Any +% Potential. Take that as you will. I'm still uncertain what are the truly most valuable bonuses because I don't know what all the stats do. For example Hit Rate makes no sense to me because all combats have an attack that lands at least once. Does it govern dishing out multiple attacks? Is this only a PvP stat? I don't know. Similarly 'Mastery' is a stat that I can't find a definitive answer for what it governs.  -I have a piece of equipment I like but I want to reroll some Equipment Potentials. You can!  Doing this requires at least one of those blue vials, plus one per Equipment Potential you want to keep. Naturally each Star level of Equipment has their own unique item for this process ( ) I have only found one of these drat things and that was through a drop on the Friendship Point Gatcha. A Dev post suggests that you can get them by disassembling items but I have yet to find one. I speculate Common pieces of Equipment will not drop them when disassembled. -Don't give a gently caress. My Hero keeps dying. How do I increase their resilience? I rank the best Equipment Potentials for defense at low Hero levels (1* to 3*) as: Damage Mitigation, HP Regeneration, HP Bonus, and Defense (because I'm not sure how Defense works yet). For 3* on I would rank Equipment Potentials as HP Bonus, HP Regeneration, Damage Mitigation, Defense. I suggest this because as the Hero increases a +1% bonus to HP is going to be a much more valuable bonus than a -33 to Damage Received. Lets talk Protective Equipment. Shields give the greatest HP, but come with a bonus to Counterattack Rate which is not useful to defense. Armor gives the middle bonus to HP and comes with a bonus to Defense. Boots boost HP the least but give a nice bonus to Dodge. Armor is the most reliable Protective Equipment. In terms of Accessories, Badges increase HP and Defense so equip one of those if you have them. TLDR; Equip Armor and a Badge with the Equipment Potentials: HP Bonus, HP Regeneration, Damage Mitigation, Defense in that order-How else does Equipment benefit my Hero? As if that wasn't enough, the more pieces of equipment you can equip a Hero with, the bigger bonus they get to their attack value.   -Holy poo poo, Is it over yet? Absolutely not.   The Equipment Potentials on Accessories add another wrinkle as some stat bonuses can become dependent on other stats Destroying Equipment, or Alchemy and You --To be Added What heroes should I focus on first? ***Note this advice will change over time. Please ask in the thread*** Avulsion posted:Check your equipment list to see if you have any upgrade materials saved up, and spend them all upgrading the gear on your top 3-5 heroes. You don't have to max out all your gear or worry about equipment potentials right now, just make sure you don't have any materials gathering dust while you struggle to level up. Half decent gear is more useful than maxing out all your skills, and you can move that gear to better heroes when you get them. Swords, bows, armor, brooches and rings are good to use. Scrap any maces, boots, shields, or necklaces. What heroes should I buy first with Ancient Coins? 1. Mu for her 100% Stun second skill. 2a. If you want more Stun, unlock Unknown and maximize his third skill. 2b. If you want pure damage, unlock Momo. NinjaDebugger posted:Patch notes are up. 3. Then Shark for his Confusion. What heroes should I buy first with Blue Genes? Somefool posted:I base blue gene heroes around Guild Raid because that's where they get the most use. With the amount of event heroes they keep tossing at people, I don't ever see blue gene heroes being necessary in other places. 1. Rage - see below Somefool posted:Priority is now switched over to Rage. You want at least 2 months of blue genes into Rage, 1 month to unlock and another to get levels into his 3rd skill. 2. Alex - Useful for multiple Guild Raids. His stun is also useful outside of raids for dungeons like Flame Garden against the rock coocoos. Alex requires multiple blue gene investment because his 3rd Stunning skill requires high levels to be effective. 3. Zero - Good for Tuesday raid to give everyone water walk. 4. Shu-Shu - Ed: Shu-Shu can increase your Heroes movement and can substitute for Nirvana. A good healer who has been eclipsed by Celestial's fantastic passive area of effect healing. 5. Tao What heroes should I buy first with Battle of Honor (PvP) Medals? 1. Belle - Best healer in the game 2a. Persona - If you do not have Lee. 2b. Nox - You have Lee. Somefool posted:I would unlock Belle first and skill her with perfect genes rather than spend more BoH tokens. Help! I'm new and there is an EVENT. What do I do? NinjaDebugger posted:Priority in the limited section of event stores goes like so: *Event Costumes and Event Heroes are significantly more limited than Event Set Items. They may not come back. Help! I'm new and there is so much Guild Stuff! Somefool posted:Join a guild if you haven't already. You want to go into your Guild -> Dark Fortress and run whatever dungeon is available. It changes everyday. The thing is automated so the only thing you have to worry about is forming your team. Spend all 3 runs everyday even if you aren't strong. How do I improve my Lord Skills? Increase the power of your individual Lord Skills in the Lord Skill --> Battle Mastery Menu by spending Lord Mastery Points. You earn one point of Lord Mastery (Battle Mastery or Support Mastery) per level. Do not confuse Lord Mastery with the Mastery statistic for your units. You can also buy Lord Mastery points with Red Crystals (IAP). Your Lord Skills level up as you gain Lord Levels. They appear to top out at level 11, at Lord Level 100. Thanks to: Hodgepodge, NinjaDebugger I'm tired of looking at Chris! How do I change my Mercenary? Iunnrais posted:It's in a stupid place. Look under "Expeditions", the mercenary tab.  Pictured: The Expedition Menu  Press the "Mercenary" tab   I completed a few areas and now my Materials box is filling up with these non-Gold Cat monsters. What do I use them for? hey girl you up posted:They're either a pittance of gold or a pittance of exp. Go for whichever seems more helpful. How do I prove I am a goon and change that text I see under people's names in the guild list? Hodgepodge posted:It's the word of the day in the Lord menu.  Pictured: The Lord Menu   What should I be careful about? DontMindMe posted:Be very very careful around the expedition and main menu. If you accidentally buy an expedition completion, gold purchase, etc., you will not get a refund. PhrenzZ posted:PSA to lock your Set (and Platinum) pieces so you can't extract them - I managed to extract a 5* SS piece today (the angel set chest).

Mid and Late Game information Mid Game Advice Somefool posted:Here's a road map for people who are either midway into the story or towards the end. Ultimately, you want every hero skilled up but let's start with usefulness. I won't include event heroes, but I hope to god everyone has them. Iunnrais posted:For dimensional breakthrough, a hard hitting team (low 5*) backed up by Mas can get through the first six levels without a scratch. The final four levels can be won by sending in a single sacrificial lamb and a maxed hellfire, doing another level to get your lord gauge up, and then repeating until the hp is low enough you can kill them in a single hit with your main team. Somefool posted:There are a ton of heroes to level up and that's why having access to level 220 Coocoos will help a ton in getting everyone to 5* quickly. Note that there will be oddball situations where certain maps want one particular set of heroes like all papers or only attack types, so you will want as many heroes at 5* if possible. Equipment Optimization Somefool posted:Okay, let's talk about Item Optimization. Somefool posted:Here's a handy link, bookmark it: Leveling Heroes Efficiently Your best option to level heroes is to farm the Red/Blue/Green Coocoos (gold cats) from the Nephthys Dungeon. Some tips: Focacciasaurus_Rex posted:Speaking of CooCoo garden, any suggestions on team composition to auto the 10th stage in each? Assuming no sets. Iunnrais posted:My DoT team is Muz, Jack, Deb, and then Krut and Serendi for dps/CC. NinjaDebugger posted:It is extremely difficult to auto rock coocoos until you are really overleveled. The best most people can do is to semi-auto pressing hellfire when it comes up. Hodgepodge posted:I was able to auto rock coocoos with Mu, Raboff, Unknown, Rai, and Krut. I now use Mu, Unknown, Jenny, Alex, and Rai. Avulsion posted:I use Kitty, Deborah, Serendi, Jack, and Celestial for Scissors. ... Hodgepodge posted:Also note that you should run the best coocoos you can S rank; this works out to more exp than the previous dungeon's SS rank. Library In The Sky -- Tower Defense in my Anime Game (in progress)   Library in the Sky (located in the upper left corner of the World Conquest screen) is a tower defense game where you pit your five favorite heroes against anywhere from 20-50 waves of increasingly difficult enemies. The ultimate goal of the Library stages is to obtain enough Library Gemstone Currency to unlock an exclusive hero and max their skills. As you would expect; a healer, AoE heroes, mana regeneration and long range abilities are highly valued in the Library.  This is the Main Library in the Sky screen. Unless there is an event going on (see below for details), only Dragon Celestial will be open. In this Library Tower Defense, you have the opportunity to fight the Dragon at the end of Tower of Dawn yet again.  There are two daily repeatable stages in Dragon Celestial. Dragon Celestial One is a tutorial. Dragon Celestial Two is the main event with up to 50 waves. Each wave will have the instructions to either clear the wave completely or kill the boss. If you focus fire on the boss(es) and kill them then the wave disappears and you advance to the next stage.  Pictured above is the Reward Info for Dragon Celestial One. All Library in the Sky stages have both 1) a basic stage clearance reward and 2) rewards for clearing specific stages. Note the Blue Gemstone. This is special Library Gemstone Currency to unlock the hero Celestial (the dragon), purchase gene fragments, and purchase special Celestial gear.  Celestial is a strong, essential hero because of her Seal skill which removes all buff and prevents new ones from being bestowed on an enemy. Because Library in the Sky is a daily event (and somewhat tedious) we recommend you eventually start to auto the stages. This is something new players should start doing immediately, as the gold rewards are quite worthwhile. DemonMage describes an intermediate player's line up for Library Celestial Stages 1 & 2. DemonMage posted:Chris 4* 29, Jack 4* 25, Krut 4* 20, Valkyrie 3* 47, Spooky 4* 14 Once you have a fully maxed level 70 5* team, total gross daily earnings should consistently be ~100K (completing Celestial 1) + 300K gold (Celestial 2 completed to level 35) and 11 Blue Gemstones. Celestial 2 Level 35 features two very strong reapers. Hellfire is advised. Library Events Occasionally, Library in the Sky features a temporary event, which is why you see Deimos and Green Gemstones in the pictures above. For Deimos' stage strategy please ctrl+F "Deimos" and find the appropriate section below Deimos' 4* unique set in the Library shop is generally considered sub par when compared to most 4* sets so it is not recommended you spend hard earened Green Gemstones to purchase it. Red Gemstones are featured in the Library Shop, so expect at least one more Library event in future. Library In The Sky Shop    Guild Raid Instructions (in progress) Somefool posted:Here's some tips on Guild Raid from what I've gathered these past 4 days. Guild Member Instructions for Mercenaries Somefool posted:[We all] need at least 5 people to have mercs with specific disables on certain days. I don't care about damage but I would like them to have at least 50% def so they don't die right away. Guild Shop Advice 1. Buy out all 20 of Valkyrie's gene fragments daily. After 7 days of participation in Guild Raid, you will unlock Valkyire. 2. Which unit should I prioritize for Soul Gear? NinjaDebugger posted:Yekaterina's soul gear should be first stop for basically everybody, as it gets her to 90% disarm chance and 100% charge chance.

The trick is to rush the story to unlock Jack, then use Krut 1 to level your team (I think I used Carrot, Jack, Mas, Kai, and someone else from the newbie pool I can't remember who anymore). It won't actually be that long before your team can win Krut 2. And Krut 2 can unlock Krut if you're a dedicated enough grinder.

Let him run down the way twice, he'll nail the main guy once or twice and then be in range for all your boys to blammo him. Just make sure Celestial goes first, seal Bathory, and then he drops like a beyotch. NinjaDebugger posted:For those who haven't learned this: If you can get to Deimos in his library stage, you can absolutely beat him. Take a Krut mercenary with you, along with your own Krut or Lena. On turn 14, make sure Krut is within running distance of the place where Deimos will spawn. On turn 15, move him to be exactly diagonal from Deimos and use his third skill to immobilize (same position for Lena). If Deimos cannot move from his starting position, he won't attack at all unless someone is directly in front of him. As long as you keep that lane open, attacking on the diagonal, you can use Krut or Lena to keep him there indefinitely (alternate immobilize with inaction or first skill, as necessary) while the rest of your team mops up the mobs and then run down to help finish him off.

I made the mistake of getting my two legendary swords to +10, a 1 star and a 2 star. That by itself ate like 350k gold. Then I realized that upgrading commons turns them into rares and so forth and so on. I could have gotten my entire A team's set to +7 if I hadn't. That was frustrating to say the least and I felt like a dumbass. In other news, Deborah's gene costs on her third ability are frankly ridiculous. It's going to take a million years to get it to lvl 10.

Been playing this game since the soft launch began and here are my brief thoughts: The gameplay is very solid. This actually feels like a AAA SRPG in the same vein as Final Fantasy Tactics. The story isn't amazing, but it's surprisingly okay for a mobile game. The variety of characters you can have on your team in this game is actually quite huge. The only problem is, most players will quit before ever recruiting even 1/4 of those characters. Every single update to this game has made the game considerably more grindy and more pay-to-win. From when soft launch started compared to now, it will take you roughly 4 times longer to recruit any character into your team and trying to rebirth them into a higher tiered unit has become a herculean task at the upper levels. There's not only an energy system but there's also an extremely inconvenient victory count system now which will not allow you to run a stage more than 3 times a day. So a common scenario: you reach late game and have to farm 800 genes to recruit a hero. They gutted the way genes were rewarded so instead of potentially getting 8-12 genes a run, you're now getting 2-4, and you can only run that stage 3 times per day. So in ~100 days you'll finally receive that character if you commit to grinding the same stage over and over and over and over and over again every day. Most people will get bored of the game by then. If the IAP in the game are reasonable, I don't really mind shelling out $20 every now and then. At first I thought the IAPs in this game were relatively okay despite the fact that premium currency crept into nearly every single facet of gameplay. Gems are required to refresh energy, refresh victory counts, roll for premium gear, purchase gold, retry a level after you wipe, end an expedition early, retrieve extra mana from the laboratory etc. The list goes on. When I started playing I was oddly okay with all that because the game was really fun, didn't feel too grindy, and gems were easy to come by. You could accomplish almost anything a paying player could if you just spaced out your playing sessions, participated in PvP, and used your energy intelligently. I guess the developers realized this and made the game a ridiculous grind to encourage players to buy more gems but the only noticeable effect I've seen has been the mass exodus of its player base. Underneath Nexon's greed is a very good strategy RPG, but that greed has absolutely killed this game for me and for most of the top players. I honestly feel sorry for any brand new player who didn't get a head start from when the grind was actually manageable.

Pretty much my view on it. It was neat starting out but the Nexon grind gets very apparent very fast. I have zero faith in it ever getting better as Nexon are some greedy motherfuckers and this game's giving me some DFO flashbacks (DFO's back, but Neople isn't trying to fleece people as blatantly as Nexon did).

Set Information ***Opinions subject to change. Ask in thread*** Team Boosting Sets NinjaDebugger posted: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. Wilderness Desperado 3* NinjaDebugger posted:Depends on where you are in the game. Desperado is not an amazing set all on its own, it's in combination with other sets that it shines. If you've got nothing else, throw it on Mu, who gets stronger as your other guys get killed. Then, when she's the last one standing, and has a boatload of bonus attack, HP, and crit damage from her passive, desperado will kick in and make her start dodging a bunch and also give her a giant attack boost. This can give you a boost in autoing stages you might not otherwise be able to, and in tower of dawn. Sunset Sheriff 4* NinjaDebugger posted:If you are serious at all about guild raid, Sunset Sheriff is indisputably the best 4 star set for your Lee. Barring that, though, it's strictly a PVE set, since it gives no turn 1 bonus, and doesn't grow on any turn you don't use a skill. Ghost Step NinjaDebugger posted:Deimos and Krut are both bonkers with it. Legendary Ranger & Brushing Wind Re: Legendary Ranger NinjaDebugger posted:Hahaha, oh man. I am laughing SO HARD right now, you don't even know. Mainly because this was literally everybody's reaction to that set for AGES, including mine, until I conceived and built Project Valkyrie, and now dodge builds are all over the top of Battle of Honor. Ultimate Weapon Gold Tiger Somefool posted:Yes and depending on the hero you put it on, it's usually a free win against most people in PvP because the AI is dumb as bricks. NinjaDebugger posted:If you're going to do gold tiger Val, you want to pump her HP, defense, and regen as high as possible.

I've been looking for a Final Fantasy Tactics like game and thought this would be cool, but already I'm at a point where I have to grind a level 8 times to unlock a character and can only do the level 3 times a day. It was nice while it lasted but I deleted it :/

There's a gene event today on Tezen that's just DUMPING hero genes out for Deborah, Carrot and Slate. I've gotten up to 8 per round, basically anywhere from 2-8 on the 6 rounds of Hard/Hell which was way more than I usually get. Definitely recommend jumping on that, I didn't know the gene events gave that much. I've got 7 guys up to 3 star so far, the rebirth mat change has been hugely helpful w/ that. So far Kai, Carrot, Alfred, Jenny, Deb, Mas and Chris are 3 stars w/ Sraka, Lance and Serendi getting closer. That said, hard Vulcan is still kicking my butt, along with normal Foose. Gotta grind more I guess.

If it's not clicking with you probably bail out. For whatever reason, I'm still enjoying seeing what my guys can auto, buffing their skills and gear, and pushing the other levels I manually play to unlock new dudes. The next goal for me is to unlock both a bird and a wolf that appear to have no boobs whatsoever. I'm sure the one star versions will have giant ones though :/ Also I'd say the game is getting more strategic which is pretty cool but maybe I'm just losing my mind.

Honestly, I think the right way is to just pace yourself. Get your A team and just progress. Sure, do a few SS runs for their genes to level their stuff. Just put it on Auto and let the magic happen. As long as you have cleared a mission with SS once, no matter how bad you do on a rerun, it will always give you SS from that point onwards. So for gene farming, it's totally OK to put it on Auto. Play the actual missions that are progressing you instead. You don't have to SS everything, although it's definitely nice for the Expedition bonuses. Do Battles too. Fighting against another player's squad can be pretty interesting, and the PvP rewards are actually pretty decent in both the Arena and Dimensional Breakthrough.

"The Game" for me at this point is Dimensional Breakthrough. Trying to manage a 2* group of units to take down or critically damage one 4* unit. Using my A team to sweep up a weakened enemy team. Been observing the AI. It's good but it doesn't take into account everything. For example the AI will try to attack a favorable facing, going behind or to the side of a unit for increased damage. However it has a habit of blowing a unit's most powerful skills when it has the mana, even if there is only one enemy targeted. Also it doesn't seem to take into account damaging terrain at all, frequently putting an enemy unit (or yours ) on lava or thornbushes only to have the unit die from terrain damage the next turn. So in Dimensional Breakthrough I try to use Chris (Defender) as the "bait" unit by being the unit closest to the enemy line. Then I arrange the remaining units around where I think the AI will attack Chris, so when Chris attacks the next round, I get the maximum number of cooperative attacks. AI is real good at coordinating attacks though. So that part of the script is pretty robust in my non technical purely observational opinion. Campbell posted:Also I'd say the game is getting more strategic which is pretty cool but maybe I'm just losing my mind. Taking down the phoenix is pretty tactically intense. If you haven't encountered them already, there are also portals around some maps which the enemy will use as well. If you haven't got the Lost Island to open up, that's another tactical permutation. You have to beat the Pyro boss while managing a bunch of minions that spawn in infinitely on a timer. Then when the boss gets down to 35% hp, 5 more minions warp in. Somehow I managed to beat it once when I pressed auto and then rescued the team from wiping by playing manual to the end. When I tried to manual play the entire stage I got crushed. Not sure what the AI did for me. Right now my Kai is almost level 50 3*. Trying to get the largest bracelets (Golem Pieces; I need 6) to drop from like level 4 of the Red dungeon (Grand Corridor). All advice appreciated.  Helical Nightmares fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Nov 22, 2015 |

Searching Reddit turned up some more information. https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyWarTactics/comments/3tnpav/stat_analysis_guide/ Stat Analysis Guide by sooma239 quote:
Re: Muang (Pyro) quote:The secret to this guy (and all giant bosses) is JACK. Muang has over 300k HP, so guess what that means? That upgraded third skill of Jack's does 10% of HIS TOTAL HP. You shoudl be able to get 3 in a row off without any mana problems. Then just use chris jenny sraka to keep him chain stunned and through in carrot for her skill 1 % hp dmg to help with enrage. I SS'd first mission and got to half hp before the minions annihlated my units on the second. (only rocking 3 stars, no money spent)

I somehow got up to Company without realizing I could upgrade individual skills of heroes. That's neat. My current pve team is Sraka, Kai, Chris, Carrot, and Deborah. Is Jenny worth getting to replace anyone with, or can I hold off on her for now?

Black Friday deals apparently. With the 20% off on Lord costumes, I was able to nab the Black Mage one. Hero costumes are upwards of 50% off, but I didn't have enough leftover for one, sadly.

I've been screwing around in this game on and off for a bit. It's starting to get real grindy, so who knows how long I'll be staying around. But Serendi is pretty good. The HoT is garbage but it also cleanses debuffs from the main target, which includes the control-impairing ones. The charm nuke is great as long as you're not counting on it (the proc is too low for that, at least without leveled skills) and her mobility problems are mostly gone once you get her fourth skill.
