:d: What are Gacha Games?
http://www.serkantoto.com/2012/02/21/gacha-social-games/

quote:

Gashapon is a Bandai brand trademark widely used throughout the world for their capsule toys. It is also referred to as gachapon. Both gashapon and gachapon are Japanese onomatopoeia, made up of two sounds: “gasha” or “gacha” for the turning of a crank on a toy vending machine, and “pon” for the sound of the toy capsule dropping into the receptacle.

It is used to describe both the machines themselves, and any toy obtained from them.

Gashapon machines are similar to the coin-operated toy vending machines seen outside of grocery stores and other retailers in other countries.

Got a SR 1st form Frieza and SR 1st form Cell last night basically one after the other. Cell has links with like 4 of the characters I've been using (including my SSR SSJ Goku) so he's a must-use once I get him leveled up some. Frieza is replacing the R Nappa I've been using which is a nice upgrade.

Is the cyborg Tao from the event any good? The drop rate on Vegeta was so awful I didn't even get one before it ended so I'm not sure if I want to waste my time or not.

Does the drop rate depend on which level you do it at? The hardest configuration just demolished me (a bunch of level 60s).

So after getting Gohan initially you can then just grind the lowest difficulty for infinite Gohan's to max one out with? Because if so I know how I'm spending my stamina today. Kid Gohan is a drat beast and is easily the hardest hitter on my team right now.

I've been grinding for the SR Tao to no success, so I might as well try this.

This game really needs some sort of achievement system like Dragon Blaze or something. I'm in the last set of levels on Hard, so I'm running out of options to get new Dragon Stones. I wish you'd get stone or money payouts for hitting different rank milestones or getting X number of Super Rares or something, just to keep it all flowing.

There's always Z-HARD.

I've done 2 levels of Z-Hard and it takes a TON of healing poo poo and buffs, so not worth it. I plan on using Jackie Chun rather than Tao, but I'm farming Tao on Hard because it's easy and I can usually get some supports out of it.

Also, with today's seal event, I've farmed enough for 4/5 of my SSR Vegeta's Awakenings.. Just need to get a Supreme Kai (and a fuckload of Zeni)

I have Z-Awakenings for all my characters. Just have to farm zeni to afford it. 500,000 for each is quite annoying.

It's pretty trivial on Normal and Hard. Didn't have much problem with either.

However, there wasn't a good guarantee item location on map like with the Tao event, so I won't be replaying it much.

What's your secret? I'm constantly out of healing items. I have teams broken up by color to try and offset some of the beatdown, but goddamn, some missions are tough. Some of my guys are underused though, so maybe it's just a level thing. I'm through chapter 1 on Z-Hard, a couple maps into chapter 2.

I farmed one of the missions (either Cyborg Tao or the Gohan event) and ended up getting 60-70 of the potions (there was a way you could take a detour on the map and after fighting an unavoidable enemy, take a 4-turn roll to hit a potion. So, I've been going through those.

Also, making sure to point your supers and attacks to match weaknesses helped a lot. I'm about at the point where I'm dying right at the end of the final boss battle, which sucks, because I'm about level 70 across the board.

So are senzu beans basically mandatory for Z-hard for most missions? Even using green guys on this Z-hard Awakening quest the trash fights are whittling my health down before I even reach the boss.

Depends on how you play. I just realized that I can limit the amount enemies give me on Z-HARD by placing someone who isn't vulnerable to enemy's attacks next to its attack phase.

Z-HARD just basically means that you have to play strategically.

I've just now realized those little can items are health restores. So I've been chugging my stock of like 70+ green and blue cans to beat hard robo freezer when he decides to spam his super. Still no drop but I can do it now. Turns out this R Android 16 I had, hits like a drat truck. I thought it'd be useless but I've had him do more damage than some of the other similarly levelled units' supers.

I'd probably hold on to a lot of those items if you haven't already farmed Dragon Stones on missions. Those will be a god-send on the later missions (like that loving Ginyu Force mission).
