FTFY

I'd like to see some challenge type puzzle maps where you use a set of pre-specified characters to solve the map. I was actually hoping the paralogues would be like that. You'd get a taste of the new banner characters as well as different gameplay from the main story or arena.

Takumis

The choice quote

"This means he has spent $32142.86 assuming he's extremely lucky/got all of his takumis on double chance banner (the 20k per 7 takumi assumption) or $64285.71 in the general chance case (40k per 7 takumi)."

While there are mentally ill people that these games take advantage of, the game has been hacked for quite a while now.

Someone with that many Takumis probably spent $0.

i can understand whaling to get a single instance of a character you like (Henry), but I can't understand spending that much to have a team of Takumis

like, he had some interesting moments but he's a wet fart of a character.

He's the second best royal from fates, admittedly a low bar to clear, if only because he doesn't instantly stat slobbering over Corrin's knob.

Which of these units profit the most from getting promoted? Merric has been underperforming (aside from swatting Camillas/Catrias out of the sky), so I'm considering promoting Tharja but I also want to get Kagero to *5 at some point (I think she's +Def, -HP). Promoting one of my *3 Robins would be another option but I already have too many blue units to choose from.

Somehow I have yet to roll an armor unit

That plus my conspicuous lack of spear users makes me want them to start having banners that boost rates for specific types

Kagero, Marth or Eirika get the most out of promotion.

I was gonna say this, he's probably not actually Zacharias. I mean Lucina pretended to be Marth and everyone was like "Oh look, it's Marth" until they showed off Lucina later. :shrug:

That's client side while you're in a map. That's completely doable and happens in lot of games. The only thing the server cares about in the end is that you cleared the map or not with whatever XP you earned. When you leave the map you don't keep those units.

The screenshot is from a player running into it in Arena, so it's data being pulled server side, which is a completely different beast.

You can change the draw and change the + value on characters (and then send them home for millions of feathers).

No one spent $60k on Takumis.

That screenshot is the definition of client side that anyone with a debugger can do. It's not news unless the data is also accepted by the server's.

Never quacked for this

dragon enthusiast posted:

Apparently the game is dumb and asks the client what it rolled in order to update the player's roster (even though the server already knows because it delivered the roll), meaning you can spoof the roll request's response and make the game think you totally rolled, say, Xander or Navarre (who're not even released but are playable) and they'll stick around.

It seems it has overall pretty weak checks because a guy on the Reddit also had videos spoofing level ups (one level takes the character to 5* 40+10) and inventories (one use of shards gives him 100k in return).

https://www.reddit.com/user/barthen
That guy has been posting the unreleased characters' stats (Ursula's there, actually.) and youtubes with the above cheats.

As I'd expected, Ursula has Blárwolf.
She also has Growing Thunder, Death Blow, Threaten Res, 25 base Atk (+10 from Blárwolf+), 32 Spd, 35 HP, 22 Def and 30 Res. Things could change before release, ofc.

E: Actually now that I think about it with a more skeptical mindset ChronoReverse is right, this could all be done client-side and the dude could indeed be lying.
Either way, Ursula info.

It should be pretty trivial to actually prove. All you would need to do is do the permanent hack and then set the character as your lead in the left-most team. Then your friends would see the character if this weren't just client-side.

Cheating to win a map or even arena is well-within the realms of client-side hacking. I think most gacha games don't require a server response for each and every move. This is why you have things like the instant-win mods for Dokkan Battle for instance.

Kinda wish that they reduce feather cost if you level them higher than level 20, the feather costs are criminal.

The feather costs are fine for everything short of five stars. You can get one guy upgraded a week, in addition to any event bonuses, which is pretty fair.

It's the five star cost that's insane.

spent the orbs I got from doing all the content in the game so far, 180, on the new banner. all i got was a 5 star cordellia.

this game is pretty boring, ran out of content quickly and the slot machine is an rear end in a top hat that barely gives anything. guess i'm done.

Hope this game will give out free 5* pulls soon

If it's done like other mobage have done it, you'd get one chance to take a crack at a pentagram with a red/blue/green/silver/yellow orb (where yellow can be any attribute)
