After about 50 rerolls, I managed to find a Oda Nobunaga. Is this alright (it's listed as acceptable) or should I continue to reroll?

I have a spare account if you want it too. It has wildcat, mundus, yukimura, and I think hk as well. It's already gotten ~30 or so of its co-op bonus stones though.

Alright, so I have been playing since launch, although its been pretty casual. I have max level Odin, Hunter King, Oda Nobunga and Arthur, but basically only have enough mats to evolve one of them. I am leaning towards Arthur, but is there a case to be made for Odin or the other two?

Arthur for sure. Odin's not bad in his own way but Arthur is simply better.

Going to do Arthur, but instead of Odin, I actually meant Zeus, so I am assuming that the same is true.

I managed to roll tequila on my ipad so I'm abandoning my phone uriel account in favor of that, but I keep getting owned on the first 50-stone roll. This time again all 4* except lancelot-X, which seems barely strong enough to raise?

You'll want to ascend zeus. Get the dark wyrm's from the event coming up Saturday (or you got them earlier today) and save the divine sharl. Use Arthur with good coop friends and you'll have no problems.

lancelot is suppose to be getting an ascension that will make him viable in some of the higher dungeons that are still japan only right now.

I'd probably take Zeus over Arthur because you can ascend Zeus and make him better than a regular 6* Arthur (who can't ascend atm). Plus Ascended Zeus's strike shot lets tyou move while Arthur's doesn't so the potential for far greater damage is there. I've used dark zeus buddies and hit for 1.2-1.7 million damage using their strike shot since the lightning seems to have a small AOE and thus those shield things become a liability, plus the damage done by hitting off of an Arthur or two.

So it kills the game, deletes the bin file, and copies my name so I can just paste it into the field instead of typing.

Playing the game with the LINE group enhances the experience by a ton. I had never used line before and it seemed like it would be a pain overall but it's totally worth it. Excited to see where this game goes in the future as the english version catches up with JP. Just wish there were more free stones, or that the game didn't require you to pull a 10-shot to have any chance of getting a worthwhile drop out of it.

I'm trying to start playing this game but I think I've seriously screwed something up when doing the reroll process. Right now, no matter what I do, I'll end up after the first roll, ready to do the next bit of the tutorial with the edit team stuff. If I continue with it, I get an error 4, get booted back to the beginning of the edit team section to loop it all again. Deleting data10.bin doesn't help, neither does getting rid of all the data nor reinstalling. Trying another username lets me do the initial tutorial bit again, but once the level rewards screen is done, it's back to the edit team tutorial again, and my username is back to the old bugged account's again.

I saw this. There is an ability to upload your save to the google account. I did not use it but since I rerolled about 20 times and never had your issue I think this might be the problem.

I wasn't even aware that you could backup your account to Google+ until I saw your post, but that gave me an idea to try and use the transfer data option at the initial nickname choice dialog to see if it would reset my account on the servers or something like that. Of course, since I didn't actually backup my account, there was nothing to transfer and it failed. That's fine, so I went ingame and it worked for a bit, then I tried to reroll, and it went back to the usual error no. 4 thing. And now it's gotten even worse since I can't even get to that point anymore and I just get error no. 4 after choosing my nickname. :negative:

Is there a support email for this game? I've probably messed this up beyond repair and have to get support to fix things now.

e: Managed to fix it somehow using a VPN. Rerolled with the VPN on till I got a Zeus, then backed up my account and switched off the VPN.

I rolled 10 yesterday during the promo. I got Sakamoto Ryoma, so he is now obtainable in english. Goes well with Zeus. Other 5 star was Harley. Also got Karin, 2x Katsu Kaishu, 2x John Manjiro, Ishida Mitsunari, Cetus, and Dear Lotta. Yeah, getting that one A tier monster to hang with Zeus.

That, plus the sense that there's just not a whole lot to actually do in this game. I've already farmed up a max luck drake, I've maxed out the stats on my Super Striker Jr, and I've cleared all the normal dungeons. The 4* Descended dungeons all feel pretty much the same to me, and I'm effectively locked out of most of the 5* Descended dungeons because of that stupid Deity Striker bullshit. So what's left?

I'm guessing he did what I'm doing, which is put about 5-7% of striker's max stats on a bunch of strikers from the friend machine, and then hope for mega fusions?

I have 12 striker Jr's in my box at the moment and that's my current plan.

My biggest gripe with the game so far is that with rare exception, the 4 star drops feel completely useless.

Not sure if I'm lucky or unlucky for rolling a Yggdra, given that I have no bump combos to work with - the account's only other 5* mon is Sanada, whose spray combo seems mostly useless.

Do affinity bonuses end? I've been co-opturbating a fair amount between a phone and iPad account, and picked up three maxpies and three 3rd-tier morlings so far. The next bonus is a light maxpie, presumably followed by a dark maxpie, but after that ...?

*crickets*

Never mind those piddly affinity bonuses. They're handing out 5 winter maxpies (yellow) a day through the end of the year, along with daily orbs in what seems like the first serious giveaway since opening. :confuoot:

I've only been playing sporadically, so it'll be nice to finally have max-level characters.

I just started playing this yesterday. Coming from PAD this game seems a lot more generous when it comes to Magic Stones and stat bonuses. I didn't get any of the monsters in the OP as my starter (I got Venus). Do I really need to start over? The OP doesn't imply that I really need a good starter to succeed in this game.

After rerolling a lot, I got a Zeus. I'm happy with that.

I swear to God this loving game, I've made so many Golden 10-shots and my only 5-stars are Lin Zi and Merlin. I think Amaterasu and Dear Lotta are my only particularly good 4-stars at that.

Yeah it's pretty insane how many 10 shots you can do and get gently caress-all from it. Then again, I haven't rolled for awhile and I'm back up to 237 orbs because they give away so drat many. :shrug:

I just started playing around 6 days ago. Right now my current team is Wildcat, Lin Zi, and Nanami. is this serviceable?

i also pulled a Zues during a 10 shot but I'm out of expies to feed him.

Also does this game skimp out on the free orbs once you get past a certain point? Will I get screwed for spending them now?

Zeus will carry you pretty far on his own merits. And expies aren't too hard to come by, so definitely start working on him ASAP.

I haven't had a ton of free time to play lately, is the group dead now or is there a prime time to log in and play with goons? Barring that, are there any there any other good line groups to get into?

The golden hatcher drop rate killed this game for me. It would be better if you didn't have to hoard up 50 stones to roll for even the tiniest chance of something decent. At least that way all my disappointing drops would be spread out further apart rather than staring me in the face all at once. Or if it felt like there was any way to progress without getting a top tier monster.

Yeah, that's the big problem, at least in PAD, there are uses for the not gold drops, even if it sucks to pull a silver or a three star.

In MS I've had close to 70 hatcher pulls, and I think I've pulled 6 five star cards. Of those I have used 4 of them. Of all the 4 and lower cards I've pulled, I've found a use for two of them, and that sucks.

Since the game opened, I've only seen one or two serious orb giveaways, nothing like PAD's eternal events. Co-op does generate some orbs, with 5 (?) for the first affinity level per friend, and another orb every other affinity level.

I keep rerolling machinery depicted as little girls. just give me something good already.

E: gently caress it. I keep getting the same 4 star poo poo and when I do roll a 5 star, it's a worst tier like Lancelot or Apollo.

E2: after a few more days of rolling because i crave punishment and need something to do on small bursts of boredom, I rolled Zeus.
