This is the thread for discussing Light, Fellowship of Loux so we can stop making GBS threads up the Summoners War thread.

It is yet another gachapon game where you collect and build little anime monsters. Think Summoners War, Brave Frontier etc. It's actually quite good.

This is like a really polished Heroes Charge/Seven Knights/etc. The com2us polish on it makes it a way more enjoyable experience.

Just hope it's monetized more like Summoners War where you can keep them reasonable premium currency instead of hitting a hard wall once the story is done like a lot of those other games.

Example QoL is that maxed out units pass their experience onto the units in the party instead of consuming their share for no gain. And runes cost nothing to unequip.

This game seems like it could be pretty cool. I like not having to reroll at the start and the combat seems interesting. I don't like not having auto as an option until I have beaten a map once. Maybe that only happens in scenarios? I wish we had more information about how the game is going to be before choosing the 4 star monster. The support character that had the energy fill passive seemed universally useful enough not to make me regret it later.

I do like the Com2us f2p model. I never feel like I have to pay money to keep enough premium currency around to keep playing the game as much as I would like. They also provide a ton of free content so I never feel like I am missing out by going f2p.

Oh well. I'm abandoning my asia2 account to jump over to global. Maybe someday they'll implement a server migration for a fee feature, at which point I'll gladly throw (free) gems at them to bring my old account over. Until then, ingame name is Damegane.

I just installed it today to try to run this game. The only thing of note that I did is change the default C:\ProgramData folder to a different drive while installing it. Other than that it was a completely fresh install of the free version.

Yeah I messaged the Nox guys about it and they were like "Com2Us is clearly driving us away. :(", for me it just makes it the security violation thing. Sucks, as I vastly vastly prefer playing Summoners War on Nox at home. So maybe they'll update it soonish if we're lucky.

I installed summoners war to see if I get an error with that game. It seems to be working fine so far too. Maybe changing the data storage location could help other people that are having problems? I am not able to make it generate errors.

Does anyone know how to switch to hard mode for scenarios in this game?

E: oops I got it. Why is this game better than any other wrt rerolling for a strong starter? After like 4 maps you have enough for 2 premium draws, and there's no team cost so you can use op guys immediately

Yeah their other popular game (Summoners War) was similar, you got static units so there wasn't a real need to reroll (you COULD but it was stupid to do so).
Plus you get a 4* Hero ticket either from an event or part of the storyline right now, which gives you a static choice of 5 heroes. Gangbi (Fire Attacker/Melee/whatever) seems to be the top choice. I picked Vincent, and got another and picked Harley. They're both solid choices. Harley can put out poo poo tons of damage and you get a free 3* Magic rune set from the storyline stuff, which you can then dump your gold into making him even better. Vincent is a super durable tank, but you also get the 4* Earth bear tank (Arthur) for free from the story.

I currently run
Vincent, Arthur
Harley, Lilly, Hellen

Working pretty well, though being nearly mono blue hurts on earth stages of course.

11x:
3* Enzai (Fire Attacker)
3* Floria (Earth Healer) -- probably replace Hellen?
4* Elissia (Water Tank) -- super anti magic tank
3* Evil Ghost Priest (Water Mage) -- I think anything without a name is junk?
3* Imp (Fire Archer)
3* Demon Warrior (Earth Attacker)
3* Leo (Earth Attacker) -- starter
3* Fire Elemental (Fire Attacker)
3* Lamus Archer (Fire Archer)
3* Lamus Archer (Fire Archer)
3* Evil Ghost Priest (Water Mage)

So... not too bad I guess. Summon rate is probably the same as SW, so 1 4* on average from an 11x (10%~) with about a 0.5-1% chance of getting a 5*.

I got a generic red 3 star guy and a 4 star named blue attacker, idr which, with my first two rolls. Reset my account (the name "walgreet" is lost forever QQ) and it takes like...a half hour depending on load times, a one hour break, and then another half hour to finish Area 4 and all the available daily quests for one premium scroll and 150 gems, made easy if you leave room on your team to use the "Trial" 6 star friend guy. You have to enter 3 arena matches too for the stamina unless they're running an event that gives you some. Also, did you guys upthread figure out that you can change which server you're on in settings?

also also I haven't looked at the numbers, but the purple tank would have to be crazy good to take him over someone who can actually do damage when the story starts you with a 3-star and gives you a 4-star green guy after a few hours

oh poo poo it just gives you 120 keys the first time you try and run a scenario & you don't have enough

I am liking this a lot so far. Been having to do some grinding, once I got to area 11 I couldn't just auto everything, because I ended up with an all blue team and a buncha green dudes showed up. I think if I used a friend summon and paid attention enough to use skills I could get through it without the grinding. After finally getting the 4*s to max level, the whole "no xp is wasted" thing makes for really easy powerleveling of specific dudes which is nice.

Haven't saved enough for an 11 pack yet, but I did splurge on the daily 2 pack which is still stupid and too much money, but its the best "deal" so whatever. Game is interesting enough to risk it, and unless I messed up the math the 6k crystals from the daily equals 44 scrolls, which is definitely better than summoners war, and its still exciting to see what all the monsters do. That being said, I think its fair to say that "don't spend money" applies just as strongly here as any other of these type of games.

I like that the investigate thing makes for a good reason to keep a bunch of dudes around, since I was going to do it anyways. I am not so hot on the hero interface, its not quite snappy enough to deal with looking through a ton of monsters. Speaking of which, I keep finding a ton of great blue dudes, and a couple good fire ones, but besides the green bear they give you I haven't had any green dudes worth using at all. Luck of the draw and all that, but that has been the biggest hurdle so far, and I am sure it will sort itself out as soon as I get more scrolls.
