Some upcoming events subject to change obviously. Also this is from reddit (I read it so you don't have to!), quote:The two most game changing characters in the next whole half year are SS Rocboquet (who will enter the Platinum pool, presumably the limited banner pools as well) and Valentine's banner White Rose. Almost all the other characters between now and the end of this year have slight, but frankly minimal power creep and are basically only slightly better tanks or slightly better DPS than our current roster. It's up to you if being a top 5 character, before the major power creep next year sets in when stats constantly go near 90% or higher and Fighting Spirit V is a thing with dual attribute attacks and more bang for our BP moves are out, matters or not. quote:I can definitely tell JP character creep accelerated a bit once UDX banners became a thing. That being said, there are 2-3 more I might throw in for the next half year: SS Final Emperor (manual, not auto), SS Vampire Lady, and SS Claudia. Obviously not in the same tier as the modern JP units, but clearly more than a little better than most launch units too. And the nice part is that they are all plat units. quote:The great part about SS Final Emperor, Vampire Lady, and Claudia are they all enter the universal pool after they're done their banners, so chasing them isn't of particular haste. All three are definitely contenders for "best in role" at what they do versus our current crew, but up to 45k to get them early, I think not. Some stuff to chew on for now. AFAIK White Rose is the limited one everyone really should try and save for since she doesn't enter the pool and as people have seen you do get SS chars from the free daily pull (I've gotten 3 I think so far).

Oh yeah, White Rose is one that I'm looking for! From what I've seen she's mostly useful because she's a very tanky healer, and she can clear statuses with her heal! I'll be gunning for her when that banner drops.

Just a friendly reminder that the Spiral Tower ends in like 2 days (Sunday reset). I was able to auto all the way to level 28 but had to manual 29 and 30 because of the RNG (non of my mans are maxed either). If you have dudes with fire skills they come in handy for level 30 (blue was the only one I had with me on my run) and level 29 seems to be just RNG with the gaze bullshit. Rouge can and Az can stun them on level 29 but you can still get hosed with RNG.

Kild posted:Emerald's counter is really good for those Nymphs Yeah I for sure need to work on other dudes. I manged to brute it but having the right mans can make things so much easier. Also I guess Ellen is a plant killer which is probably going to come in handy in the future.

I've been stuck on floor 30 for a few days now. Kinda feel like I'm just not quite strong enough for it; I'm sitting here with about 21k CP on my strongest dudes. Hard to come up with a strategy when most of their moves one shot, you know?

FWIW I did it with Albert, S Az (probably should have used SS), Sophia, Rouge, Blue in imperial cross formation. By the time I got to the boss only Blue, Az, and Rouge were alive but they made short work of him. Getting through the first two waves is the hardest and a fire damage dealer would help a lot. Besides that its kinda RNG if they decide to gently caress you or not. I had like 2 runs where they targeted Soph on the first wave and that was the end of that. I just had to eat the one shots and hope that soph could bring them back up. My team power is 25k though so I'm sure that makes a difference.

I hit 30 and promptly exploded, so I'm going to just accept that I will be knocked down to tower 19 after reset instead of 20. Also folks on reddit ran the numbers; since rate up SS styles tend to be 1% pulls, there's only about a 22% chance that you don't pull your limited banner target in 150 draws and have to buy it with medals. I'm still saving 45k for White Rose for sure but in general it seems like you have a pretty good chance of getting what you want with fewer gems going in or just ending up with leftover gems from the 45k when all is said and done. I have 67k right now; mainly waiting to see the scheduling on White Rose and Rocbouquet before I go heavy on any of the other banners.

I like it because it's scratching the same itch as Final Fantasy Record Keeper for me, and nothing else has quite hit that. I think it's a few things. The fact that there are no super overpowered characters lends the game towards broad difficulty over deep difficulty: instead of pulling for characters that are stronger than your own characters, you pull for characters that fill a niche you don't have yet. And if they're doing this smartly, it'll likely reflect in the fight design as well, where to succeed at high level events you'll need a large stable of good characters instead of a few broken characters that can solve every event for you. Oh, and much like Record Keeper, characters are rarely obsolete, because they'll jump back to relevant if you pull a new style for them. This does likely mean there will be some characters that are bad because they never get any developer love (poor, poor Kimahri).

Yeah, I loved FFRK but it's definitely not for everyone; how skills work means that it feels really bad when you run out of charges mid battle, and that's a problem that never really goes away. It's also fairly twitchy, being an ATB. Some of my clears on the harder stages I would have maybe a few milliseconds to get off a heal or else I'd party wipe. Also I can't really recommend it in good faith at this point, it's gotten plenty of UI updates but it's buried under like 6 years of jank.

One other thing I'm gonna add to the OP is about the training Dojo. The best thing you can spend your gems on ASAP is expanding the Training Dojo and always be training dudes till you get them to 42. Its the only guaranteed way to get gold shards (I'd only train SS dudes) and level your mans and not pull.

Alright, I did Spiral Floor 30! I'm at CP 22,270, and what did it for me was...a lot of luck honestly? The nymphs spent a bunch of time entangling over their actually damaging moves. Which is good, because tentacle's a one shot for a bunch of my characters! After that, the Forge Dragon wasn't the worst, but it easily could've gone very poorly for me. Fire breath is nasty, and Stomp could easily one shot my boys.

I've been having the worst luck on 29. They always gaze my healers, and either kill them outright or charm them into healing the enemy. The health it gives the enemy is less of a concern than 3 or 4 LPs wasted that I don't get to spend on my team. I still have some time before it flips. Gonna keep at it.

Maybe reduce the number of healers you're running? Status effects like charm are a pretty strong incentive to run more DPS, because we don't have any status healers yet. The faster you kill them the less time people spend charmed. Of course, you might not have the time or resources to train up another character. Something to consider for the future.

Ginny and Gustave are both great and you're going to get some extra bunches of platinum tickets from launch and start dash bonuses. Start saving for some of the upcoming units mentioned on this page.

So the glow stones dungeons are going half stamina tomorrow along with a collection event for clearing them. The level 7 dungeon has the same stat ups as the higher ones so there is like no need to do any higher when you are grinding.

I'm not super excited for the Noel banner. Noel seems...alright? I've already got a pretty good slash user in Ellen, and since I already have Azami I'm not too keen on pulling for only half of the big ticket characters. Probably I'll just hold off. The other stuff's cool tho. With double eggshells it's probably finally time to see if I can beat Forest of Mystery 9. I've got a plan, it likely involves S Undine.

Got sucked into this one as soon as I saw Asellus spark Rosario Impale in the tutorial battle. Just finished my time in Goat Hell™ (4-2-X Hard) to unlock the fourth expedition and Blue and Rouge are seriously pulling their weight in every stage so far. Random confuse proc and not-so-random paralysis proc are doing a great job of wrecking anything up to and including most bosses. I'm digging the daily free single pull just being from the generic standard pool and not a random garbage "friend point" pull as is usual.
