Why my bullets no hit?
I'd be in spark range if s.bear didn't rob me of 75 rolls. With what I got atm I could hit 255 sparks. Nothing I'd chase after with it aside from sheep.

So with the coming anniversary event it would be a good time to start playing this? (is it ever a good time to start playing a gacha mobage?)

Is there a particular summon I should risemara for now before the free rolls?

Just to be completely clear for anyone considering starting up now: they are giving away 70 free gacha rolls (10/day) over the next week. 30 of these rolls are during a legfest (double ssr rate - think godfest in PAD). Now through the next week is literally the best time to reroll a new account we have seen in a year.

Glancing at the news page, also log in within the next hour (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST), and at the same time every day for the next two weeks, for a chance to win some pretty cool prizes. I'm somewhat unclear if the listed prizes are per day or total - first would be nice, but upon rereading I suspect it's the latter - but either way they're pretty nice.

3 Winners:
-Set of Bahamut, Lucifer, Grand Order, Kaguya and Shiva summons

5 Winners:
-Set of Agni, Varuna, Titan, Zephyrus, Zeus and Hades summons

10 Winners:
-Set of a damascus ingot and sunlight stone

50 Winners:
-1 SSR Character Ticket

500 Winners:
-1 SR/SSR Weapon Ticket

50,000 Winners:
-3000 crystals

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
So as a new account, what should I be doing to earn crystals the fastest? Just working through the story?

Going to slightly correct this, starting in the next 3 hours you get 80 rolls since you get a free 10 roll after the tutorial.

Gotcha, thanks!

If I'm understanding this correctly, it seems like it takes a while to get to your first "real" (Not the post-tutorial with the pool of 6 SSRs) 10-pull then? I figured I'd try re-rolling a bit and see if I could get something good, but if it's going to take as long as I think to even get to my first 10-pull, that might be kinda rough.

Unless I'm reading it wrong, there's no actual specific time to log in for this - just any time between 12 midnight and 11:59 PM (jst) for each day of the event.

Your best bet is to create a few accounts today/tomorrow and then log in to each over the next couple of days and see what you get from your free anniversary 10 pulls (one per day for the next week), then keep whichever account has the best crop of characters to start with.

With a little perseverance you should be able to start with multiple limited/unticketable ssrs and an account with a start dash you can use on another limited if you are the type to spend real money on a stupid gacha game like this.

It's called me being dumb and somehow reading it as 00:59 AM. You're completely correct.




Anyways, what's the best way to do alts? Just set up a dummy gmail account (so your actual one don't get absolutely flooded with mobage e-mails), and then keep track of all the salted accounts you're using? Then just tolerate uninstalling and reinstalling the Chrome app when checking each account, or is there a faster method?

If I do any at all it won't be many, but I am curious about the best way to go about the process.

You can just log into the game in an incognito Chrome window and close the window and log into your next salted account

So, um, that was a thing. Pulled 3 SSRs (Hades summon, Juliet and Lennah characters) out of the daily 10 pull on my primary. Just doubled the number I've gotten to date, and that includes the one I just had to support summon a bunch to get the trophy reward, and the free SSR ticket. Also picked up Tyre as well, who at least has amusing skills.

Shame both my SSR summons (Hades and Ranko) are Dark - for which I still don't have a single character of any rarity (or weapon even). :v:

Go to the Premium Draw page. Where you'd normally be able to buy a 10-roll for 3000 mobapoints, it will instead be crossed through in red with a '1 free daily!' sign. Just click the button.

what exactly do her skills do

My postillion has been struck by lightning.

Futaba Anzu posted:

Her 1 is a giant self-buff (+90% atk and a bunch of other boosts) that lasts until she takes damage but also gives her a shield equal to 40% of her max HP. Her 2 is similar to Amira's 2; it steals the enemy's mode bar and your allies' charge bars to feed her own meter, which is important because ougiing refreshes the shield to full if her 1's active. Her 3's just a nuke.

I've got a few accounts I've been doing the daily 10-rolls on, got a couple that are looking good so far. One's got Eugen, one's got Korwa. At this point with what I've gathered from what you've guys have told me, I could just ticket Petra on the Korwa account, grind out Siete and be pretty much set right?

A Korwa account with Siete as a goal is a good start regardless.

So, today's been interesting. Got nothing particular on the 10-draw for my primary account, but have been collecting the event items at a decent clip. Even managed to snag the final blow trophy on the Dominion Core, which I was rather amused about considering what my overall rank and power currently is.

Overall, liking this event significantly more than the only other one I've done, the Duelist of Eternity one. There I was roadblocked by the loving Clay Golem Hard Groundbreaker Hard fight since I had no way of dealing with that attack (even aside from the damage, only source of Veil is still Katalina), which locked me out of every single event reward other than Arisa - due to every single other item in the event needing an item only dropped by that fight and up.

From what I've read, it'll take about 2 months. No idea how accurate that is though. At any rate, from what I understand, that setup is basically as good as I can get for wind, so in the meantime Korwa + Petra + (attacker) should make for a really strong start right?
