Had a spare 10-draw ticket lying around, decided to try my luck since I'm building an earth team, got Summer Vira. :smug:

(Her rate's boosted to 0.7% so with ten attempts it's about a 6.8% chance: not super unlikely, but still pretty good luck.)

50 draws so far and the only SSRs I got were Morrigna and Lich, neither of which does me much good since all the characters I have that are worth a drat are Earth. I think I should just be able to scrape together 3000 crystals for one more try before legfest is over. At least the summon from the watermelon event helps me out a bit.

Last 10-pull of legfest, got Hallessena. Finally something theoretically useful for my team. :toot:

Help, I'm grinding event bosses for honours so I can get merits to uncap my characters so I can grind even more.

Hallessena's turned out to be a hilarious multiattack delivery machine despite her drawback, but I can't see her replacing anyone on my main team; Summer Vira has incredible versatility with a debuff+dispel plus healing and a great self-buff, Cagliostro's also important for healing even if she's not at her full potential yet, and Sara is Sara. Guess she's staying in a reserve slot for now.

You want Eustace if you were looking for a utility earth character (e: because paralysis is the best status effect)

He is a male foxgirl unfortunately

Eustace is definitely one of the characters I'm keeping an eye out for if I happen to roll him (or decide to spend more money on a surprise ticket, I guess). I'm not really at the point where I can take off huge chunks of a boss's HP in one turn so I've been going for more of a defensive strategy so far, but keeping the enemy from acting is a pretty good form of defense :v:

So I just realized that I have about 300 cerulean stones at this point. Is there any reason to not just go all-in on uncapping my current main party as much as I can through the shop? I've filled some spaces here and there to uncap them to 60 but have been hesitant about outright splurging.

If you haven't already upgraded Sierokarte's shop as part of the process of finishing a GW weapon, you should buy five Mithra animas and set them aside for that: they're a real pain to get otherwise. After that, feel free to spend those stones on things that look like good value.

Depends on your element and what you're fighting.

And also on whether you're soloing or in a raid. For solo content you want to load up on debuffs and defensive/healing skills; for raids you can get away with relying on others for most of that.

Tried this out for a bit because it seemed fun. Some questions:
- Can I use the single "max level weapon draw" pulls anytime?
- How do I find the goon crews? You cant search by name or ID etc.
- How do I link the mobage account to a google ID? The site is in japanese only

1) Yeah, any special tickets other than the regular single and 10-draw tickets aren't affected by any currently running modifications to the gacha like character rate ups, so you might as well just spend them immediately.

2) Just go into the Discord channel that's linked in the OP and ask around, if you haven't already. That's usually the best way to catch the attention of crew leaders.

3) If your Google account is already linked to your Android device, that should be all you need to do to make in-app purchases. (If you don't have an Android device, use an Android emulator like BlueStacks; it's still the least painful way to make purchases from outside of Japan.)

Im more interested in being able to play on a browser at home. Also Thanks for the info, just used 3 of the max level draws and got my first SSR. How do I get better Summons though, Gacha only mostly?

The most powerful summons are from gacha, but you can get decent summons by farming the Omega versions of primal beast raids (Tiamat, Colossus, Leviathan, Yggdrasil, Luminiera, Celeste) and the showdown battles (Ifrit, Cocytus, Vohu Manah, Sagittarius, Corow, Diablo). If you play wind, you can also get a gacha-quality summon by spending a shitload of casino chips on Anat.

By the time your whole grid is skilled up to 10 your earth characters should be doing enough damage that Yoda isn't so amazing any more, although you may still want to put him in one of your parties to do quick damage during strike time.

What's the best way to get into Grand Order runs? Because I'm having a terrible goddamn time getting into any that are tweeted - even if I'm watching the feed like a hawk for ones going out I can never actually get in before they fill. After going like 0/15 this morning I got to the summon page with the fight showing 3/30 and it was full by the time I was able to click the mouse twice.

Is the solution just Move to Japan Silly Gaijin? Because I need another 70 kills for a class weapon and that is currently a very depressing prospect.

Yeah, twitter GOs are pretty hard to get into and it sounds like you're doing everything right. They'll probably fill up a bit slower once magnafest ends, at least.

I guess if you're Dark you could go for the Cortana?

Ecke Sachs is also usable if you're building a fire grid, especially if you mostly plan to use that grid against wind. It has awful stats, but its skills are rock solid.

what exactly do her skills do

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.
