Is there a way to get it to stop telling you to swap out your dudes UW when you pick up something which has a notionally higher attack value?

Generally I fill my inventory then throw everything I have into furnace to enhance some of my gear. The gold gear, like Opportune Fire etc takes masses of stuff to get any sort of levels into at all. My UW are level +30-+40 kinda range just now but a still random T5 weapons have got better attack stats on them. I've no idea if what i#m doing with gear is right or not.

I don't actually know of a situation where a character's UW isn't the correct option, so feel free to feed whatever to it.

I only just discovered you can unlock the 2 equipment slots on your dudes by paying gold. I think I looked at the gem one and saw it was level based and just assumed they all where and would be unlocked eventually.

Who should I get with the 5* ticket? My team is UW Jane, UW Lorraine, and Frey with Roi as a placeholder. I was planning to get Epis then pulled Mirianne's UW weapon with a quest reward ticket. Artemia is in the inn and will be joining soon thanks to the double friendship event.

Get Epis then get her UW from the noob ticket in a week? Get Mirianne and save the UW ticket for later? Get Annette or some other utility player?

Always gotta pay it forward.
Went with the bog standard noob magic team: Jane, Frey, Epis,Maria. I plan on using my UW selector for Epis. Looking for generally advice on building past that. Currently have UWs for Baudoin, Mirianne, and Priscilla.

I just unlocked Miruru and was looking up the wiki to see if she was any good or not and saw they had a triva section

She is actual much older than she looks, however, a curse made her shrink and appear as a child.

Yeah, it comes up in chapter 6 when you actually meet her. She'd been searching for treasure and found the Fountain of Youth, but instead of granting her eternal life, it... made her back to being a youth. Common subversive trope otherwise but yeah, anime, etc.

The curse or whatever that made her into a child also makes her act like a child too, but I think she can fight it or something?

How do people get 5* UWs? Is it worth saving up for that 100% completion or should I be feeding them as fast but as I can?

DemonMage
Oct 14, 2004



What happens in the course of duty is up to you...
1-3: Use 0*s
4: 1 1* and then 0*s
5: 2 2*, 1 1*, then 0*s

Getting 3* isn't bad, but going beyond that starts to get really expensive in terms of UWs and you'll fail a frustrating amount. But there's nothing else to do with dupes anyways really.

4/4 and kind of 3/4 t7 dragon gear is worth 5*ing too. And enchant scrolling.

Illiterate Clitoris

Due to the game having a 'failure bonus' there's a statistically optimal way to awaken your gear/UWs.

Let's say you have a 1* ring and want to upgrade it. You can try it with a 0* ring for a 50% chance or a 1* ring for a 100* chance of upgrading the item.
If you try it with the 0* and fail, you get a +16% failure bonus. So the next time you try with another 0* you have a chance of 66% of upgrading.
If you try it with the 1* you will certainly succeed but skipped the 50% chance of it happening with half the investment.

There's a reddit post breaking all of this down, but the tl;dr of it is:

From 0* to 3*: Spam 0* until success
From 3* to 4*: Use a single 1* for the failure bonus, afterwards spam 0* until success
From 4* to 5*: Use two 2* items, then one 1* item, afterwards spam 0* until success

Now obviously it can also take a lot more resources to upgrade your stuff but on average this is the most efficient way.

It's a gamble for rare UWs but everyone should use this method on armor as soon as dragon gear starts trickling in to get a feel for it.

Goonsquad EU has almost downed the Guild Raid on easy :clint:
Especially proud of our boy pandy which isn't a goon and is always super hyped.

That being said:
I'm fleshing out my team. I've got a bunch of stones to transcend someone, my boys are T5 Theo, T2 Jane/Artemia, T1 Lorraine/Annette/Kaulah/Morrah.
I actually wanted to replace Jane with Sonia, but I randomly received her UW so I'll have to think things through. My current 7-people team got me to the top 30% WB2 ranking, I'll be getting Oddy in the next couple of days, but I don't think he synergizes that much with the rest of the team.

Also, I'm still pumping up +XP%, dunno if that's ok with you - I wanted to get to 21% asap.

Once you start being able to damage them, you'll notice a very hilarious escalation from "oh, I did 200k damage today!" to "huh, that's 8 figures of damage" to "TWO BILLION DAMAGE PER TICKET :hellyeah:".

I can't wait to see what my T5 Selene does to the GR bosses next week.

Ah, that makes sense. I just 5-starred my first hero and the transcendence costs do seem to require frankly huge amounts of growth materials. I値l save up my gems for when I unlock the last upper dungeons, since I assume they値l give the most of them and thus I値l want to use my gems on those. Same thing with conquests.

I think I'm going to use my gems to buy Heroes. I know it's advised against but I have enough play time a day to do the dungeons once anyway so refreshing them doesn't have much appeal to me.

This post made me remember that I have Oddy, so I T2'd him for the additional ATK, threw out T5 Aselica (with the double DPS buff perk even) and my WB1 damage went from 45-50 to 60-65.
Now it could very well be that Ase simply sucks but in my opinion Oddy fits into nearly every 8 man team. He brings good buffs, lots of CC and does a suprisingly high amount of damage. I think his place on the ~official tier list~ is simply due to his toolkit being very hard to evaluate. There's also exhibit A where Oddy is part of the line-up for the current Mountain Fortress damage record.

I don't want to prune him, he's too cute.
But I drew Arch's UW from the 15 days random ticket yesterday... and I had a big surplus of rubies...
Actually, I forgot Arch had a M.DMG amp. I think Artemia will be getting the boot, she's worse than I expected - in endgame content, at least. She was fine in Story Mode.
