Quick questions I didn't see answered in the OP.

Is there any thing I want to do on a hero before re-birthing to a higher star level? Like boosting potentials, or skills? Or is the only thing you want to wait, re-rolling potentials only once your past 3 star level potentials?

Applied as Phrenz!

This update looks great - the character changes are awesome and should make a lot of the more underpowered characters usable. Hopefully chocolate drops are high enough that it's actually feasible to get those item sets!

Edit: They murdered Jack's passive. Down to 19% from 54%. At least they didn't touch Skill 3, right? :(

Tried to remake and miscalculated number of letters. It was dumb. If you apply, let me know here.

Also, apparently logging in isn't enough to trigger guild attendance, you have to go into the guild menu and check yourself.

I have no words for how terrible ToD60 is. Almost as bad as that fairy swap poo poo. :bang:

Edit: For anyone that gets to ToD65, the reapers only aggro 1 space away from themselves, so lure the boss far away from them and charm+stun the crap out of him.

Out of the first few hero's you can get from Verna and Tezen. Any particular team that stands out as the best? Currently leading towards Chris, Alfred, and Carrot. Not sure on the last one though. Either Deborah or Sraka.

Sraka's in a bad place at the moment: not tanky enough, melee range only, no good CC, crappy passive and 3rd skill. Deb's your go-to AOE/ranged scissors hero until Chenny.

If you want a good tanky melee, try Lance. His newly buffed skills are pretty baller now and he can walk over swamp which is the most annoying impassable terrain. Lance is also a huge help in the paper exp dungeon.

I'd probably drop Alfred for Kai since Alfred's skills take forever to level and his charm is only 28% max'ed.

I actually prefer Alfred to Lance, though that was pre-buff.

Chocolate priority has to be the costume. After that, I'd go for whatever dailies you want, then stock up on demon souls and item sets. Modification stones can be had significantly more easily than demon souls, and while the item set is on mace/shield, the set bonuses more than make up for it, I think, and it'll help propel you to higher levels, where you can accumulate better poo poo.

Similarly, the nepthys adventurer set can help get you to higher levels of nepthys faster, then be swapped out for other, better things.

Edit: Another reason to stock up on demon souls is that they can randomly give you a jackpot and upgrade your hero straight to level 1 of the next rebirth tier.

Incidentally, the limit on demon souls seems to be 3 each. No idea if that will refresh or not, I suspect not. Spent my scissors souls on leveling up Elektra, because I like the cut of her jib and just unlocked her, and have 3 rock and paper ready to level up other stuff.

You can also hit up the Nephthys Dungeon (e.g. weapon storage) for more useful rewards. Otherwise, I don't seem to have any problem getting the daily stuff just through normal play.

NinjaDebugger: Nexon confirmed only 3 of each the entire event

Better to just collect chocolates from normal play i.e. autoing boss stages for genes, neph dungeons for exp/stones.

You get 12 chocos per roughly 8 energy spent.
15 energy per hour, so 360 energy per day.
Say you play casually, so only use a third of that: 120 energy.
Plus two energy flasks: 120+100 = 220
Plus guild 20 attendance reward: 220+50 = 270
Plus the energy refill you buy from daily choco shop: 270+60 = 330
That results in rougly 330 chocos per day.
You use around 110? 130? (not ingame to check) chocos on the daily shop.
There are 19 days left in the choco event.
so (330-130) x 19 = 3900 surplus chocos to use on the one-time event items, which is just enough to get all of them for the casual player.

You'll want a healer at various points in the game (e.g. Tower of Dawn), so I'd suggest Mas over Alfred to keep him somewhat levelled.

Yeah, eventually you'll have enough mana stones that 3-starring something won't be so bad. With the chocolate event going on you can get 200 mana stones for something like 5 chocolate every day, too, which is a good deal.

Plus, Alfred's got some late game uses thanks to his massive AoEs. You could invest in worse!
