I dug up the fanfest units we'll be getting and their TMRs:
Swordsman Lasswell (+20% ATK&MAG w/ Sword)
Cheerleader Fina (+20% SPR, +15% MP, Sleep, Silence, Confuse immunity accessory)
Maiden Sakura (+10 DEF, +15% MP, +20% MAG hat)
Cowboy Jake (+3 DEF, +15% HP, +10% dodge)
Artisan Lid (+14 DEF, +5% MP, +20% SPR)

A 2nd +20% MAG hat should be nice for 7*s and 400% stat caps. +10% dodge is an upgrade over the Zephyr Cape if you don't have any other dodge accessories from 5*s or old events. The rest aren't too exciting IMO.

e: added links if you want to check 'em out

It’s basically just 3 and 4* tickets. Every 5000 lapis you’ve spent* from the beginning of the game until now gets you a ticket. And you get 1/10th that number of tickets as 4* tickets. They’re their own types of tickets, but essentially they’re just different EX tickets as they don’t have any rate ups.

* - on pulls

Okay that reload/reset swap is going to remove SO MUCH tedium, awesome! When every fight is "set up buff and debuff then fire four DR/DRlikes off" it was getting old having to manually do it or risk the auto dropping the timing super hard.

30% ticket, means 20% more frustration than a regular 10% ticket. Though I can't really complain as I got a rainbow on my last 10% ticket.

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
I want to say reload just reqeues all the actions you took last round, so you still have to tap everyone to cast whatever spell or use whatever ability, but it saves you the time of going back through all the menus for stuff like OTKO during raids.

Reload is repeat but without auto. It queues up your last turn. You push the buttons to activate people.

I'm going to try to wake up early for ticketocalypse tomorrow. My current plan is to spend down to 100 tickets remaining (so burning through 120~ or so, and a 10+1) or stop if I get 2 CG Nichols. I may spend more but we'll see after that. So you tear drinkers wish me bad luck so you can see a salty post of 253 pulls and no Nichol.

Hah, rollover time is 4 in the afternoon for me. That's actually a break in my day but I don't know how many tickets I can go through in the 30 minutes between classes so my pulls will probably be divided in two batches.

I have yet to fail really hard in getting a unit off a banner so hopefully my luck holds here.

This ticket for lapis thing seems ridiculous, will probably give me a solid boost of tickets for Hyou.

I have a pair of Kalivas from their banner but I'm sure who I'll use their TM on. For TTerra it seems like a better idea to give her dual wield and have her use Mateus Malice + Fryevia's Needle with a rod mastery and 2 L&As so maybe someone like Dragonlord or an eventual 7* Emperor?

Correct. It's a time-saver for things like chains and finishing in consecutive rounds, though.

The only unit I ever use it on is GLS. Everyone else is better off with RoL or Mystic Sash and DW, at least based on my current gear.

DW is super strong for mages in particular and this TMR is a bit backwards to that design. Seems only useful for DH mages for now.

Is there any healer worth a poo poo coming up? After dropping about 150 tickets and 40k lapis failing to get Tillith, Ayaka, or CG Fina it’s still the only hole in my setups. I can 7* Rem at some point I guess.

Roll if you need a good buffer. The odds of getting rayjacked are so low that if it happens you might as well quit while you are just maimed and not killed in action

There's supposed to be a "Best of" CG banner coming eventually? That'll have all the original CG units on separated banners for another shot at Fina.

Though 7* Rem is fantastic and probably good enough for most things. She can DC Curaja and she can do reraise, its just that her reraise is an ability so can't be DC. And I think she lacks AOE raise.

As far as I know we never got solid numbers outside of the leaks. Nier made gobs of money and did nearly triple their projections for the entire event. I can’t say if they adjusted expectations, but once 5* units were prevalent and more widespread, spending definitely ramped up. Could just be general popularity of the game, new units, etc. I can’t help but imagine stuff like the step up banners were equally insanely profitable for them. Especially with as much poo poo as they’re throwing at us now.
