Some of the previous events can also be played through in the mission page. I think you can also unlock some exclusive dolls through it too.

Try and do some lf the theatre missions to get some materials too if you can clear each difficulty that would be better

So with VAL's mod available, what is the default kick-rear end night team now, assuming I'm only going to field one night AR/SMG squad?

There's a few options now but you can boost Val from Really Good to Downright Ludicrous with a few different selections, and ideally all of them for maximum no-miss uptime:

Nagant Revolver
Python
A fairy with the Fervor talent

Fill in the remaining slots with STAR-15 or SOPMOD II and maybe a tank

Go grind some 0-2 with a team of 100s and make combat reports

You know what this is an option I have never considered. How many runs roughly to create a batch of 80 combat reports?

Six runs if you're taking the auto-battle route, which is about a 3-minute+ time investment per run (at autobattler pace) so about 20 minutes give or take? You might also be able to get more xp on Oathed T-Dolls at 105/110/115/120 but I never tested that

iirc batteries spent on HOC training don't count until the end of the training, because you can cancel it and refund them.

Nice I have loads of batteries and this seems a faster way to level dolls than just grinding them on 0-2

I now dump them on my 5-star fairies and let me tell you, it makes me regret using reports on T-Dolls, ever. 2100 or so just to get a fairy from 70 to 100

Keep in mind that you also need around that many Special Comabt Reports to max out a HOC

You need 5k special reports to max out a HOC so not quite right.

This might be the nerdiest thing I post on these forums.

Yesterday I saw a question pop up in the discord and ended up being too busy to see if it was answered but today I had time for testing. The gist of the question was, "would you earn more XP farming 0-2 with a team of 100's or a team of 100+'s."

I ran 0-2 with a team of lvl 100's and earned 16,170 surplus xp
I ran it with 4 lvl 120's and 1 lvl 100 and earned 13,522 surplus xp
I than ran it with my only team of non-maxed girls who could run 0-2 consisting of lvl's 117, 84, 115, 111 and 100. They earned 23,026 xp between the five of them and earned an additional 2,844 in surplus xp a total overall xp gain of 25,870.

So if you just want to crank out some combat reports use a team of lvl 100's on 0-2 but it's not the best way to level up a whole squad of girls.

IIRC 0-2 starts falling off on XP gains around level 94.

i've taken dolls to lv 100 running 0-2 without issue and i know some people grind up to 110 there. iirc the exp cliff for it is somewhere in mod2 territory (110-115).

It's 112 IIRC.

I level mine to 120 in 0-2 because we still can't favorite dolls, and having to scroll a bunch or mess with filters to find lower level draggers every single run is kind of a pain. I use combat reports to get Mod3 dolls to 115 though, so the ones that can't dps in 0-2 (or MGs who are too expensive to use for it) will just remain at 115 forever.

Exp-wise it would probably be more efficient to use a regular level 100 doll to DPS for the increased surplus exp instead of using the high level Mod3-doll, but if I'm chain-running 0-2 that means I earn exp faster than Kalina can convert them to combat reports, and then it gets wasted that way instead. If you're going for just one set of combat reports though, max level 100 dolls are the way to go.

Android 11 is dropping apparently and I'm on a Pixel, so I'll get it soon. Is there any reason to assume there will be compatibility issues? I feel like I couldn't play for a few days when Android 9 or 10 or something dropped a while back.

None of them are like a new tier of power or anything, CR-21 is at least interesting to put in an echelon with RFB.

You should literally never assume that anything will work bug-free if you're getting the new OS pretty much the second it launches. It'll be exactly the same situation as the last Android version upgrades.

A bunch of Japanese mobile games are also busy putting up warnings that you shouldn't upgrade as the devs haven't tested their apps against Android 11.

Okay wrapped up Chapter 10N. Only on the fourth stage did it feel like I had to pull out decent units but even the half-assed comp I used for the HGRF team still won fights with the Manticore mobs for minimum health damage.
