Every time you start BF on Bluestacks/Genymotion after loging in on your phone previously (and vise versa), it will say that it needs to restart because your Gumi ID changed. It should work after trying to log in again.

Wow, that new maiden is a loving beast. I tried the level 1 dungeon as a test run, and she chewed my team up and spit out the seeds. I barely squeaked out a win with two summons left alive, no healing items, no buffs, and both were in the red. It seems like they've been steadily ramping up the difficulty since the initial drop with Cayena, after the clusterfuck that was the dark maiden.

If just restarting the app doesn't work: on the title screen, click and hold at the top of the screen in the middle between the wiki link and your user id. After a couple seconds, it'll bring up the option to delete user data. Do that, it's harmless. Sign in again and it should be fine.

The incorrect session or key or network id or whatever happens any time you switch devices, it's not just a bluestacks thing. Usually just logging in again fixes it, but if not, the above process should do it. :)

The 4 elemental maidens seemed to be almost identical. They even had the chance an an opposite-element AOEing rear end in a top hat (ie: Siren on Bayley) on the wave before the boss. I think the only thing worse than the dual Grafls on Cayena was getting gun god Douglas in the other, solely because if is BB focus fired someone they were toast.

Mine does that after the update. If it doesnt reset it just goes to a black screen, making me force close it.

The game still auto turns on Record Battles after returning to the start screen. And I keep forgetting to turn it back off. Are those video files being stored on my phone somewhere?

I'm pretty sure they only save the most recent battle, plus I don't think they're videos, I think they're replays, so they'd probably only be kilobytes in size anyway.

...At long last, Palmyna is complete. As a head's up, the wiki is off; Cardes does Endless regularly but does Foreign Light (the heal) whenever he seems to feel like it.

My biggest problem with the current build is the flickering gems and hearts; my recently-concussed brain doesn't care for that much.

I think it's a memory thing. My iPhone 4 (not 4s) does it all the time. My brand new iPad air doesn't EVER do it.

Actually, it's started doing this REALLY loving annoying thing: locking the phone quits the app. I think someone described that exact thing, which used to happen after a while, maybe if the program got pushed out of active ram or something? I don't know how memory management works on iOS. But now, if the phone locks at all, even with BF currently active, when it's unlocked you're back at the home screen and the game loads fresh, losing whatever you were doing. In the last hour, I lost both a 30 energy weekend dungeon and a 35 energy battle maiden. Because my phone slept for a moment. That's pretty god damned dumb.

The maiden

Edit: And, when she hits 5*, she has fairly comparable stats to the other maidens, actually a bit better than Bayley. And most importantly, her hits-everyone brave burst inflicts two status effects.

Question about Vanila - she has the same BB Douglas - Random targets instead of all targets (having a random status ailment addition helps though). Are these BB types actually the most damaging when there is only a single enemy? Might be good to get a pack for certain boss fights.

Does anyone know the percentages for the proc rates on items and skills? There's definitely a pattern with the language used:

(of paralysis)
Low chance
Slight chance
Chance
Possible
Probable

(critical chance)
Increases
Greatly increases

(BB charge rate, BC drops)
Small boost
Boosts
Large boost
Greatly boosts
Huge boost

The better Manning.
Just started playing this. It's fun but since I'm coming from PAD I have a few paranoid questions because I don't want to hamstring myself:

In the OP it talks about honor events being the best time to use your honor summons. How do you know when an honor event is happening?

Are there special times I should use my gems for rare summons or should I just go for it whenever I have 5 gems?

I keep getting metal and jewel kings as login presents. How often does this happen? Are the types of presents you get random? Should I just be dumping these dudes into the mifune I got from the tutorial or should I save them for something?

Thanks :)

The Honor events happen about once every couple of weeks/a month so spend that time collecting as much honor as you can and summon them.

New units get released maybe fortnightly and the rates for those units are slightly higher during the initial release period. Most of the newer units tend to be better than the older ones due to power creep but your pull is still heavily dependent on RNG. If you need units then just pull whenever, otherwise I think you should wait after you have a decent team of five to get stuff you really want.

The login presents are random and make sure to close the app and restart it everyday to get the corresponding login rewards. Mifune is a glass cannon but he's still pretty good at lower levels and at PVP so feed him if you haven't got anything else to feed. Generally speaking, any unit that can be upgraded to five or six stars is worth feeding.

Questions

The honor summon thing happens occasionally, usually with an announcement. If you look right now you'll see that the honor summon icons, which are usually a Burny and a Maria and some other summons, are now Jewel and Color Kings. That means you've got increased rates for them.

Also, I would recommend tossing in your metal gods to the Mifune. You usually get enough metal kings/gods through rewards/summons/parades that it's not really worth keeping a whole bunch on hand. Don't forget that you don't want to fuse your Jewel units, you want to sell those.

Bombs away!
I asked earlier about the EU version of the game but didn't get any answers - trying once more just in case, because finding any info about this mess anywhere seems nigh impossible. I played the EU version for a while (I think? This one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gumieurope.bravefrontier) before noticing it is some ancient version (1.0.3.2 instead of 1.1.9) so I can't add any goony goons, don't have the autobattle button and am probably missing some other features as well.

I could download the US .apk from elsewhere (it's region locked in Google Play) and start over, but since I whaled 5€ into this thing already and am some ways into the game that isn't really appealing. Anyone heard anything about the EU version, are there any plans to keep it up to date?

Mifune is a Mega Glass Cannon and later in the game Defense will become King. I'd probably save your gods/kings for another unit. Mifune still doesn't have his 6* in Japan so it may be a while before he reaches potential. He's kind of low-tier at the moment

I gotta be honest the element changing parts of bursts are just OK in my experience. They're a nice bonus, don't get me wrong, but it's the stuff that goes along with the element change that's important. Tiara's heal and rainbow leader skill are like 90% of the summon. Other than in fights with big daddios like Karl and in FH for weak element bonus the element change hasn't mattered at all. Like, Lodin's brave burst is rear end at level 1. I only run him in the arena and when I feel like losing 50 energy on Karl because it blows.

Got a 2nd Vanila drop, Lord though. The urge to keep running for an anima type is strong. I only use about 2 ore/seal, 1-2 divine lights, and 5-6 cures per run. More than the last 4 because I'm using a blue team. My dark team isn't even worth mentioning at this point, considering it includes 2 vampires and most units other than Magress and Kikuri haven't been leveled at all.

So, with two hours left to go on the Lightning Maiden dungeon, I thought I would burn one of my few gems to attempt to get a second drop. So I use the gem. I start the 35-energy dungeon...

my game crashes before the first pack of enemies appears...

and now I've been fruitlessly attempting to reconnect for 15 minutes, getting steadily more and more pissed.
