What did you all use for the last last last last last two fights against Hendrickson in Ch 6?

Jesus this chapter is just dragging.

I used green mel/blue king/red ban/red liz in the sub slot for the passive healing for every single fight, I had to use food to eke out a slight CC advantage for the last few but only lost once on one stage and blew through otherwise.

Reinstalling Bluestacks didn't help. Still crashes as soon as the Netmarble screen shows up. Virtualization is on so i have no idea what the issue is. I guess I could install it on my tablet, but that thing rules current games really slowly.

IMO it should be something anime titty related because lol @ the boobs in this horny game.

To be fair, boobs are a fairly major focus in the anime too. 90% of the time if Elizabeth is on screen Meliodas is groping her.


What kind of storage are you guys going for? Diamonds don't seem to be in very short supply and I'm constantly at my storage caps. I've already spent a few but I wouldn't mind spending more to get to a comfortable spot.

7DS owns. This is the only gacha game that has held my interest for more than a couple of days other than Fantasy War Tactics (RIP, gently caress you Nexon).

I just wish there were some QoL improvements like snoozing or disabling Death Match invites, a 4x speed option and how the energy system works. You cap energy too fast, so you constantly have to pick up your phone during the day if you don't want them to go to waste. I was thinking maybe increase time for energy to regen and decrease energy required per stage.

Having played a lot of the stamina mobile games I actually really like the fast energy recharge. It makes me feel like I don't actually need to play all day because any time I actually have to play I have a full bar. I can idle it in my pocket during meetings and I don't need to micromanage daily tasks because failure doesn't mean hours of wasted energy. I'm already drowning in energy potions plus you get a free potion every day just for cooking one dish so if I perchance have an extended play time I still have plenty of energy.

Too bad it eats so much battery!

Just my 2c, but I've found the tierlist less than useless. It is not the tier lists fault, but more that this is really a game where most units are insanely good in one area and provides very little value outside of it. Here is my opinion of top performing units at specific roles right now:

Autoplay PvE grinding: SR Green Elizabeth-Hawk > SSR Red Howzer > SR Green Weinhardt
Manual PvE grinding: SR Green Elizabeth-Hawk > SSR Blue Skinny King > SSR Red Howzer > SR Green Weinhardt

I'm curious why SR green Eli-Hawk over blue Diane for autoplay PvE grinding? You're the second person I've seen recommend that comp for autoplay grinding.

Both their skill 1 are single target and skill 2 AOE, but Eli-Hawk's ulti is single target while Diane's is AOE. Eli-Hawk's passive is just an HP increase which is arguably useless if you're PvE grinding on auto while Diane's makes her hit harder every turn.

Hey. Is it just me, or do my balls itch?
I've been checking out RSRU today, too. Seems like it's got some of the QoL additions and features the Japanese version didn't get for a while, like being able to buy styles with pieces and costume/portrait selection. There's also a set of starter quests that give you a good healer and a decent number of tickets for free pulls, which is good because it took a long time for healers to be widely available in the original release. Guilds aren't in, though.

There's an ad roulette that wasn't in the Japanese version iirc- you can watch up to 6 ads a day for random quantities of gems (looks like it's 10-30 per). No crazy changes to systems/pull rates as far as I've seen.

Too many moving parts for me. You have the basic Tactics stuff of leveling and JP for skills, and then you can level those skills, and awaken your character, and class-up your character, and use equipment (but it's called "favorite equipment" for some reason), but that equipment needs to be leveled, and you need to gain proficiency with the equipment types by using it otherwise it LOWERS your stats... and that's after the third story mission, who knows what gets unlocked later.

And all those require different resources. I don't mind complex systems, I enjoy them in some contexts, but I need to be able to see how it fits together. From what I could comprehend this felt like gacha complexitiy on top of tactical complexity and I just couldn't figure out what was worth attention. Maybe it all clicked for someone else and they can comment on the actual game.

I'm a huge SaGa Frontier fan and RSU is really fun so far.

Blue can't hit for poo poo physically, but waveclearing with light magic is fun as hell.

I wasn't sure how Romancing SaGa would transition to the mobile space (in English because I never played Imperial) but I'm loving this a lot. I'm also angry none of this carries over because I drew SS Gustav and that dude's Bear Crush for me is dealing 1000+ damage per hit, and I just know I'm not gonna get him again when full version launches. All this old music coming back is great, but the new battle tracks they cooked up are pretty phenomenal too.

Is there a gacha game that looks, well, modern? I don't mean 3D graphics and all but all of the games I've seen look like the UI was cloned from a NES game and the UX matches that. FFBE, and to a smaller extent FFBEWOTL, suffer from this where navigating the actual UI is a chore. Even simple things like the "current events/banners" sections constantly having to LOADING and then resetting to the top of the page if you tap on a banner and tap the back button are pretty annoying.

Seven Deadly Sins and Epic 7 are both quite modern. Epic 7 is one of the best looking games out there.

I’ll check out 7DS since it’s portrait mode and the other one isn’t.

Epic Seven is the "best" phone game I have played. Played from day 1 of global launch until a few weeks ago when I was bored of it, but I never spent any money and at one (very brief) point I was #6 on the pvp ladder so I think its pretty fair if you are f2p.

I REALLY liked e7, and the production values are insane. However, there is absolutely nothing fun to do in the end game. Every end game activity to me was the absolute most boring stuff ever. I don't mind grinding, but there was just nothing fun about the grind in it. The only part I liked was the end-game dungeon and the story based grind events, but that wasn't enough for me to sustain interest. Amazing looking game, but I need more weekly recurring content than that. FFBE had the same problem, where all the repeatable end-game content, except story events was the exact same poo poo ad-nauseum and did everything possible to make you lost interest.

PVP was my end game and I achieved it, so for me I "beat" the game. Doing Hell Raid every week was quite a chore, and as a f2p I wasn't getting enough molagora to really build new units because I had to invest everything in my pvp guys. I got maybe 1 gear upgrade a month that was an actual drop or crafted, any other gear upgrades were from hell raid shop or static gear from events. I really hope they can do something else with the IP because I enjoyed the story and the characters a lot. Its a great waifu/husbando game since every character gets fleshed out in the various side stories.
