They're going to really need to improve the controls. Terra Battle 2 was sunk by the terrible controls and this game is fun enough so far that I hope they'll make it better.

I'm struggling to get the Force attacks out reliably at the moment. Anyone figure a trick for that?

At least they're self-aware.

It seems while duplicate wyrmprints and dragons are useful, duplicate adventurers aren't necessary to fully power them up.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Playing coop with a stranger gives you 50 orbs. Each. So joining a random match-matching group gets you 1/10 of a 10 pull, with apparently no limit other than the total number of players. It is good.

I assume this ends at some number of plays. Like Shadowverse (another cygames game) gives you rewards for the first 20 strangers you play with

Even if so, the limit is quite high. I must've gotten over 3000 from that so far.

Don't lose your head over it.
Did you use them right away? I would recommend waiting. So much of the game (for better and worse, mostly worse) is following the Granblue Fantasy model. They will probably have the once a month legfest/premium gala with boosted draw rates.

I'm not sure I am going to stick with it. The rates are so bad that I don't think it would be worth it with a 2x legfest. They seem to be going for the surprise ticket (guaranteed pick) and scam gacha (guaranteed 5* but random) model from GBF. Scam gachaing a print would be even worse than scamming a summon in GBF.

I dunno. I rerolled like maybe 10 times and I settled on a 1x 5* character, 1x 5* dragon, 1x5* equipment. That came out of 2 10x pulls. Along the way I pulled plenty of 5* characters and dragons, but I really wanted to start with a character AND a dragon.

That's insanely incredibly lucky. The median is probably closer to 70 rerolls for that

I'm gonna have a chance to sit down and play in about five hours, hopefully the discord will be up and running to arrange goon co-ops by then? I don't know how long they take to get going or how much of a pain it is

At least for randoms, the problem is getting into a room before it fills up. I don't even bother with the 3/4 rooms. When I tried making my own room, it filled nearly instantly.

I've done some matchmaking games (quite a lot actually) and it seems pretty quick and straightforward. It does cost a specific to join them though, a kind of parallel stamina. Right now I have tons of it from leveling, but that could be annoying in the long run.

Also having promoted a 3* character, it seems that the main difference between promoted units and natural 5* will be the size of their coop passive boost. 3* units have like, +1% crit, while a 5* has closer to 6%. In the super long run this would be upgraded to 13% versus 18% or thereabouts. Probably. I don't actually have a 5* character to check against, and I'm certainly nowhere near maxing out anyone's mana circle.

I've had a lot of success just going to the mission itself and selecting "Find Group" from there. I haven't been able to find many groups for the Zodiark trials, but I assume that's just because most people aren't that far into the story yet.

Uglier on the inside.

The hardest part about this game so far is trying to figure out if I want to keep rolling or not. 9th try, I got Zephyr and Poseidon dragons, and Auspex's Prayer print (full HP = Healing +13%, Curse Res 20%)

3 5*s is real good, but the print is kinda poo poo, and dragons are definitely not as useful as like, a weapon or a character, neither of which I've seen a 5* of yet.

After about 5 rerolls (gently caress that download size) I got a Neferti 5* and a 5* Niddhog on the first pull..... followed by two more Niddhogs on the 2nd. Go-go getting three 0.1% pulls.
The newbie pack 5* got me Ezelith and afterwards got Jeanne d'Tits...who is for some loving reason a humanoid waifu dragon.

Game is fun. Music is really good, love the passive meandering home screen, that's some style.

Controls work fine, the dash takes a bit to get the hang of. Some of the character attack patterns are really nuts, Ezelith has a massive vaulting back dash at the end of her combo. It's good to get you out of almost any AE if timed right, annoying if there's no danger to avoid.

All that being said, it feels like I can aim my melee better then my archer.

Got my start - 5* Xander and critical damage up Wyrmprint on first roll and two Ezelith on the second which gave me a ton of the gacha currency stuff. Took about a dozen rerolls.

I only got a couple of 4 star characters from the Gatcha so far. I know I probably should but I do not feel much like rerolling. I am just going to hope that something better comes along by the time I really need it.

Also, it is clear why they gender locked the MC: They are leaning HARD on the relationship with the little sister character to the point where I honestly feel uncomfortable. At least she gets captured at the end of the first chapter

Just got far enough into the story that it explains why Jeanne D'arc looks like a lady and not a dragon.

47 rerolls later, I finally got Nefaria! I might have been unlucky, but my SSR character rate was really low: I ended up with a .74% SSR character chance with 7 SSR characters in 940 pulls. If they mimic Granblue's surprise ticket model it won't be as bad, but muddling the character pool with both FGO-style CEs and the dragons will be really rough on some people.
