sencerly,
Man it really feels like putting any kind of money into this game is a waste. Went for the 8.99 purchase so I could roll twice and got two silver eggs.

Right, and the OP makes it sound like the multiplayer is basically required (or at minimum, a huge benefit), so... :(

The pinball thing is a lot of fun (I've rolled an Odin and played a bit) but the multiplayer implementation seems really bad

The reason it asks for those permissions is so it can do this


If you don't want to spam your contacts list with garbage don't click on the "invite friends" button. As said before just stick to LINE and you won't need to bother with any of that.

I have rerolled many, many times. The best I got before what I settled in was a Odin.

I got a Margarite. Well, after a Ducati. Good thing I stuck to roll freebie and then tutorial 5 stone freebie.

Dear diary,

After losing my initial account because of data backup shenanigans, I finally re-rolled an Arthur!

I then entered a weekly 15 stam dungeon and got trampled. :3

Do the smart thing: Make a throwaway facebook account and connect to Line using that. I made a junk facebook account for games like this and Brave Frontier. Let it dig through my 0 friends and activity on Facebook, it won't mine any useful data either way.

You can roll for Margarite, but the longer you hold out, the more good rolls they'll add to the US version.

Always roll 10 at a time if you're going to hunt for a unit. rates on good stuff is low as hell but the 10 batch at least ensures you only get 4 and 5 star stuff.

Alternatively if you already have a good leader but nothing else, it's nice to have a few good utility subs for when you're soloing even if you don't grab Marg.

I did a ten pull when the event started and pulled six shadowgaffs out of ten.

Yeah I've gotten 5 Shadowgaffs on a 10 pull myself. Something is obviously broken there, there's no reason he should be showing up that often. If I'd actually dropped any money on orbs I would be pretty pissed off about it. I wouldn't be surprised if it's something retarded like every 3 star you would normally have got if you were doing 1 pulls gets changed into him instead.

On the plus side, 5 Shadowgaffs beats 5 random lovely 4* pulls, at least while their luck is 5.

I have seen something that people do in Co-op. You don't need to drag ON your monster. You just need to drag on the playing area itself. It will help if you need to shoot when you're stuck in a corner and don't want to smash into a damage wall for example to get out of it.

Rolled last night and today, settling for Odin.

I'm getting a location services error when trying to co-op. Help files "recommend" turning on GPS as well. Is my problem that my tablet doesn't have GPS? Will using Line avoid this?

So about half the bosses I fight now "run away" once I deplete their health. Is there a way to tell when this is going to happen? Am I supposed to kill all the little enemies first to prevent this or something?

That's just part of the game - bosses with extra health bars "run away" when you deplete each one.

yeah, if the health bar isn't yellow, the boss is going to run when you deplete it.

If you can manage to get wedged between a boss and one of their shields you can spill some damage over to the next wave too.

My Arthur got wedged and landed 98 hits doing about 900k to a shield and 1.3 million to the boss. He started the next stag missing half his health bar because of how fast the hits registered. Best record is still getting wedged between two enemies and doing 300 or so hits for 1.8 and 2.5 million damage to them. :unsmigghh:

they should have an overkill bonus tied to that, get an extra drop or something.

So, is there any point to the trash in this game? Seems like everything drops at lvl1, gives poo poo experience, and fusing trash together takes way too long and they still give poo poo exp anyways. Should I just sell all of them instead of bothering trying to squeeze some xp out of their useless husks?

The poliwhirl/+eggs dudes are fine but everything else seems awful.

Right now I'm increasing the luck of my healer girls because, I dunno, just because.

only point is to get 1 that is easily farmable up to 90 luck for more drops on certain stages, most people pick the red dragon for this i think. ( thats the one im working on)

That's pretty much where I'm at with the level 1 drops too. Not sure what else to do with them.

Margarite. Doesn't matter if you aren't close. You can get a Divine Sharl as a very rare drop from the daily sharl/stoan dungeons, as well as a reward for a later co-op level or 30 day login prize. Getting to the co-op one by plowing through the regular levels isn't hard with an S rank leader and some semi-decent subs, and it should be comically easy if you play the levels in co-op with the hordes of Arthur/Zeus goons.

I'm the type of pony everypony should know
Doing extreme quests makes me want to bite my hair off. Stupid desire sensors. All I wanted was an emerald dragon for Tini ascension but I've ran it over a dozen times today and got none. While I keep getting other 5 stars that I don't need in just a couple of runs. Sometimes two in a single run! I hope the next time it comes around I get luckier.
