I managed to construct an HK416 and a NTW-20 both of which I am solidly  about. On the other hand I just saw the MP5 in a cutscene and she's freaking cute.The character designs in this game have been very hit or miss for me. Some of them have a lot of personality, others not so much.

don't forget you are completely free to discard the lives of your friend's echelons, or your own dolls if you are fighting a boss. they won't get mad as long as you're dying to something worth fighting for! just kill teslavi's frontline m14 over and over again, it's fine.

This took me a while to figure out: when visiting friends' dorms, the batteries usually only show up at night. I guess it takes time throughout the day for them to regenerate. When I started visiting friends' dorms at night instead of in the morning, I was able to start collecting 10 per day consistently.

Friend batteries reappear at 6PM and 6AM EST, six hours from this post. I don't know the exact number but each friend can only give so many batteries to visitors and it's on a first come first serve basis so you got to be quick.

Friend dorm batteries reset at 3am and 3pm server time separate from our own dorm battery reset time. Every person's battery can only be collected once, so it's first come first serve. Your best bet is to check friend dorms right after they reset and get to them before others do.http://gftimers.netlify.com has timers for both sets of batteries.

It was either one offering per dorm they own and 2 batteries each, or one offering period of x batteries where x is the dorms they own. I think it's the latter.

The latter, more dorms means more batteries. I'm not sure if only one friend can collect but I wouldn't be surprised seeing how fast batteries go. It certainly can't be more than five visitors per person, at most.

One of the several ways to screw yourself this event is by opening the event prizes too soon. According to the datamine you should wait until week 2 to open event prizes, specifically the 800-point one, because more than likely most of us aren't going to beat mission 2-4N in time to unlock and then collect enough calibration tickets.

So far I've been operating under the assumption that the later 2* characters are mostly to help you fill out your ranks as you unlock more echelons, and therefore been mostly ignoring them. Are there any 2* characters, or classes, in particular that I should pay attention to? Including any that make good replacements for early-game ones.

F2000 is a great assault rifle and was the top damage dealer on my main team until I swapped her for AR15. PPK has a good buff and is apparently a good tank for rifle teams when she hits level 80 and can start using exos. I like 1911 for the smoke grenades but dunno if she's outstanding or anything, MP-446 shows up on a couple 3HG/2RF lists I've seen. IDW has high evasion and her skill doubles it. The other 2* SMGs seem somewhat lackluster to me due to their low evasion. LWMMG is apparently good but I haven't started using MGs yet, can't really comment on the the 2* rifles either but G43 has a night focused ROF buff so she'd probably be worth leveling up for night teams.

Biggest problem with 2 star SMGs is that skorpion and sten are both INCREDIBLY common and perfectly servicable 3 star SMGs The only 3 star handgun as good as PPK is Makarov (who's legit top tier) and she's nowhere near as common of a drop

Thanks for all the tips. I've been considering swapping out the extremely common C96 3* HG during the daytime because I realized she's meant for night battles. PPK sounds like a good alternative, although I've been neglecting her thus far in favor of the many other higher-rarity HGs. Otherwise the only 2*'s I'm currently running are Spectre M4, G43 as an okay rifle (but alongside M1918 MG and 9A-91 AR so that echelon's probably already fine in terms of firepower regardless), and PP-2000 in my logistics-only echelon so she doesn't really count. Actually, starting to feel I'm getting close to the tipping point for unlocking a 6th echelon. My logistics-only echelon is looking too strong -- Micro Uzi x3, M9 x3, PP-2000 x3 just hanging out doing logistics is a waste. But drat, 880 gems for the 6th? Is there a point where missions start to get significantly easier with 5 full-strength echelons participating?

The reason to have 6 echelons is so you can have 4 doing logistics 24/7 and still use 2 for actual combat

I think I'm missing something important: What types of missions actually give T-Dolls experience? Does Logistics? Does Auto-Battle? Is the only time they actually get stronger when I actually sit and supervise them in a mission?

Crasical posted:I think I'm missing something important: Normal missions give your squads experience as they fight, with the leader and MVPs both getting a bonus. (I think it's a x1.5) Auto-battles give a paltry sum, not really enough to be notable. The EXP simulation gives XP based on completion, with each level giving that flat block of XP divided up among every squad deployed. (Everyone in the squad gets the block, it isn't divided again.) Logistics and other simulations do not give XP. Simply existing on a battlefield without getting into a fight gives no XP.

Logistics does nothing for exp. Events will soon want multiple combat echelons for top clears, and gold medals already kind of require them in several missions. Btw, first major event will want night echelons so get cracking!

My whole team is around level 70 after 100 clears of 4-3E, and if you wanted to make an emulator macro for it you could do grind while you sleep, or at least while you do something else on a different tab

It's the 'start-and-stop' nature of it that is bothering me. Unless you're saying that I shouldn't be taking damage and needing to repair?

I keep running out of ammo while grinding. Each run consumes 260 ammo for what amounts to 1/6th of a level. Gaining levels has been so slow that I'm dismantling my 2* guns for ammo and rations because my team, backup team, and backup backup team are stat capped.

Essentially, yeah, your goal should be to minimize damage as much as possible. If you're getting repair times of more than ten minutes, try an easier spot. When I do 4-3E, my repair time is usually 2 minutes, so grinding happens pretty quickly. Even if you are able to complete a more difficult map, it'll be a lot slower in the long run when you factor in even moderate repair times.
