Has anyone gotten confidential case files to open? Curious what the requirements are. I'm guessing you need to progress through a certain part of the story.

I think you can get his attention by doing enough damage, I never see that on low level raids anymore, but it feels super random.

I've only seen it when I do support requests, never in my own raids. I thought maybe it was punishing me for having a low level ship or something :v:

There are ships that have shields it’s prolly that.

I think you need a world map branch level 4 to summon them.

i refresh the list for soft targets that either tank their defenses or lineups without problematic units

thankfully the strategy battle entry tickets can't be swiped for so it's about using them before capping

Global is extremely tryhard bad manners, in SEA most people put up a trash squad of level 1s on defense in order to help each other out. You don't lose points for losing on defense. I think it's probably too late to change the culture

Aw hell yeah. Lee Yumi would be a huge benefit right now with the relative lack of high quality defenders in global. Also the daily event reset in 5 minutes will net a limited pool SSR selector for anyone that's caught up. So if you've had bad luck on some of the core unit pulls then now's your moment. I'm probably gonna settle on Xiao Lin since I've struggled trying to pull her, but the idea of making a full Titan/Abraham team for PvP is pretty tempting since I've seen no one doing it and most people will have no idea what the hell is happening.

Failed Gutter Rat again despite adding Evelyn to the team then tried something on a whim - Full throttle damage where I kept redeploying chinatsu and other dps and never used my healers.

Apparently trying to heal and stall was the wrong way to go because Hilde + full dps worked first try as they kept the enemy numbers manageable.

I changed my defense team to a joke squad of 8 robots in a jeep and within an hour got 5 "your defense team has won" emails :psyduck:

It's not literally impossible to lose to, but I'm in silver 1 and about half of the team is level 1s so I'd imagine you could completely annihilate it with a decent A Hilde + Gaeun. I guess 3 of the leveled units are flyers at around level 60-70 with some gear equipped, maybe people are dropping A Hilde and Chifuyu and getting their ship destroyed before they can send out anything that can actually attack air? Weird business.

So, there is a Yang Harim banner up and I didn't get her in my initial pulls.

Would grabbing her be more important than Edel and Sigma?


On a similar note. Should I push for awakened Yoo Mina next month or wait for Yu Nabin?

Trying to figure out budgeting so I don't just pull randomly

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

I don't know if it's true here but in other games, pulling on banners without getting the SSR or at least hitting pity is bad. It's just burning pulls with zero guaranteed positive outcome. That being said if someone says next months banners are better than Yang, I'd cut your losses and consider it lesson learned with that banner probably

Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
GFL players - Han Sorim is a dead ringer for a GFL character but I'm too far removed from the game to recall who and it's hurting my brain, does anyone know what I'm talking about? Something with the heavy eyes and gray hair. Possibly the same artist on them? EDIT: FOUND IT, M200





I'm wondering if either of these are worth me pulling for, I'm pretty happy with my PvE team and finally got Awakened Hilde so not sure I need another defender or supporter at the moment. Are they worth getting for B/C teams for Dives and whatever else?

Yea, that's where I'm not sure. I want to focus on PVE and am not spending money on pulls and don't know the relative value of the unit. Yang Harim is listed as the best healer in tier lists but I don't know if that matters as much as the utility Edel or Sigma provide.

I did 1 impulse 10 pull at the start and haven't touched my tickets since so I can probably hit pity if need be.

bit of a correction here - yang harim is the top rated SUPPORTER, she does very little healing in comparison to claudia (R) or evelyn (SR). Yang Harim provides a broad combination of buffs for your team + debuffs for enemies, most notably a large amount of skill haste for the entire team which is what makes her so strong. It's honestly a bit hard to evaluate her effects in battle because it's not like super visible stuff like big green numbers blowing up your lifebars, but I think I would probably value her higher than Sigma or Edel personally. Edel is extremely strong in specific PVE content and almost useless elsewhere. Sigma... sigma is perhaps even harder to evaluate than yang tbh, since her buffs involve the rockpaperscissors square only, but +60% damage potential is a very large amount with the right setup, but there's rarely a situation where you are only using units that counter the specific enemy you are up against, at least so far.

Anyway, im a relative newbie also so maybe people that played SEA can input more
