Drake in your ALL slot will net you tonnes of FP from people farming Doors, so there's that.
What kind of player picks their support from the ALL slot for farming an all-caster stage? :psyduck:

The drop rates in this game seem so bad that for all intents and purposes that statement can just about apply to anything you want to farm. In the end it makes far more sense to bank on guaranteed drops and event shop buys.

I know MonsieurChoc whaled for Drake a bit but she looks like another AOE NP 5* which is hard to get excited about. Cool design though.
Drake is the exception to the aoe vs single argument because she was released during the process of Quick system revamp, and ended up broken with np charge rate, amazing stargen, and hit hard as hell. When her skill are maxed, she can almost guarantee to fire two to three np in the usual battle.

He carries me through the whole game. Can spam np becuase he is the only berserker that have 50% np charge. He hit harder than herk, he hit so hard his single target np extra chain can kill THREE enemy.

Amen. I think I've gotten one extra drop above the first-time reward.

Also: Screw Thiers. Its just a tiresome grind with no additional benefit, and the drop rate is way too low to feel good doing it. At least here I would get enough dangos towards an extra card or a spare piece.

The next opportunity to get them should be the GUDAGUDA event shop, which will have 20. We don't know when that will be, though; it could be any time between tomorrow and November.

So unlimited dango works ends tonight and we have maintenance. I guess I'll just spend my ap trying to get hearts since there probably won't be an event. Also gently caress hearts. I got one heart and like 3 caster gems after the weekly master missions ended. Rng not good to me this time. Onward to the next event

In the wrong hands, the stapler is a deadly weapon.

Did just a couple of tries at 30 AP and decided it wasn't worth the trouble. Might regret it later, but oh well. Stuck mostly with the 10 AP and 20 AP to farm (in theory at least) teeth and lanterns respectively, which are more of an immediate need for me.

I guess I could do more grinding on the 30 AP mission, but I have ten hearts with no one using them right now, and I bought out the store except for the last two CEs. I'm done here. Time to spend my time on some daily quests to spend my AP before maintenance in 42 minutes.

No fun ascension drops but at least managed to get all the fous/monuments/xp cards.

So the usefulness of having a NP being Quick-based or Buster-based seems pretty obvious, but what exactly is the upside for having an Arts-based NP? Outside of maybe sticking it at the front of a line to give an Arts-effect to the rest of your teammates' cards, or pulling off an Arts-Arts-Arts combo, or maybe if you have an Arts-boosting CE or skill to increase damage, it would seem to be a detrimental status to have for your NP.
