Was there always a Skip button on the side-scrolling portion of a quest? If so, I was blind until today.

If not, nice change, I like being able to skip that finally.

You can also go into the options menu and set it to auto skip those portions.

Godsend. Best update 2016.

Thanks for some of the advice.

Ended up surprise ticketing Ferry. Got another gun, now at 5! Got 2 Harps. A Lumineria Sword. Put my head down and farmed the hell out of Corow and got all but her final star and leveled her to 100. Also got it set up so I can buy Mobacoins from the app which is way cheaper than buying the cards. All in all made some good progress.

Not sure if I'll bother too hard with this event. I guess I should farm hard for the sword but the drop rate seems to suck for this event, not sure I have the patience.

What, realistically speaking, are the chances of saving up enough free tickets and crystals to spark a character or summon this year? Was thinking a Lucifer summon or perhaps a limited character would be nice. Just, I've usually spent everything whenever a legfest has come up and never kept track of how many tickets and free crystals you get a month to know if this is doable.

Light's a rough grind; I'm still on it, and I've been playing for as long as most of the 'old guard' folks here. Keep at it! You end up with a ton of HP, and while you may not punch pound for pound as hard as Dark, you're going to have a lot of power at your disposal. Especially if you roll into someone like Lucio.

Generally speaking, as far as I know, sparking takes about a year of saving up in order to get it done. I don't know if that's counting people saving their 10 roll tickets from various purchases.

I may be wrong here, but I do believe that Lucifer is one of the unsparkable/unticketable Big 5 (or is it 6 now?) summons who you have to luck into from the gatcha.

You should get as many damascus crystals as you can. Not just for this event but for all future events. crystals can be traded for the bar which can be used to uncap any weapon in the game. for us lightscrubs, we can use them to uncap Chev Swords. the first crystal isn't too bad for mats so get that one at least. if you can do Extreme comfortably and don't mind using a bunch of pots, go for the other two.

I haven't sparked but people give a timespan of 6 months to 1 year. makes sense that it's easier to spark when you haven't done a lot of events. I haven't rolled since late October (or November, forget which) and I'm at 30k+ crystals. I'm sparking for Summer Heles <3 Should be doable when the summer season drops. and I think you can only spark whatever's available in the list. go to the announcements page that says the premium draw's been updated

so right now you can only spark for these characters

I haven't really pad attention if the spark list includes summons. I know for this update that it's just characters.

So my grid looks like this:


HiQMJlF.jpg


At this point should I ditch my Lucifer summon and pick up a max lb Chev and pick up Luci's as friend summons?
Do you have any Erunes in your light lineup? If so, you should think about getting that Baha dagger to the Coda's upgrade so they benefit from it too.

I have Ferry, and eventually I'm going to want to get summer Heles, but that's it. I'm currently rocking Juliet, Lucio, and Ferry for long fights, and Jeanne, Lucio, Ferry for quick/solo fights. I'm not sure where Amira fits in any more, unfortunately.

I'm pushing slowly for Coda, but I'm mostly focusing on getting my first tier 4 (spartan, mostly because the sword dropped), and getting mats to uncap my guns a 4th time/my 2nd sword, and it's taking pretty much everything I have, haha.
 
You basically want both Luci and Chev for your summons.
Lucifer X Lucifer will be stronger on off-element fights.
Chev X Luci will be stronger than double Luci when fighting against dark.

Personally I wouldn't advise uncapping Luci if you have other interesting summons (like Grande, Primals) and/or you are looking into other elements, as raw improvement of double Luci over Luci+Lumi is very small (like 2.5% improvement for 4 swords sk15+3 guns sk15+baha+ex setup)
If you add into consideration double carbuncle setup, especially not running Bers, and you might even lose some damage in double Luci setup in off-element

I did some calculations -
Adding carbuncle really blow double Luci setup out of water, and as carby is a one of the most powerfull source of damage (and with double carby you'll maintain buff for 86% of time) - double luci setup becomes obsolete. And Zeus (Primal) build is still better in the end.

Any tips for playing the casino? I didn't even realize Anat is from it and since I play Wind, I should get that summon.

I've been playing poker and actually doing decently, which is quite something as I am absolutely horrible at playing card games (I can't remember how to play them, usually). I'm actually impressed that I can play it well at all. I'm up to about 4.5 million chips and already bought the initial Anat, so just needs about 3 million more.

Should I stick with poker? I've seen some people say bingo's where the real money's at but I've done ok with poker thus far.

Also its not worth it to get the 77 million for that wind character from the casino, right?
 
1k poker is your go-to. It's a net positive to keep trying to double up, even if the chances are risky, you'll wind up positive in the end.

Christina is not that good, no.

Yeah I figured poker was good for that. I've had some horrible luck but that's how it goes. That said I'm doing the two-card high-low thing and not the single one because at least with two-card I can have some idea of what's higher or lower, even if the top payout is capped.
 
Yeah, single is kind of a crapshoot. You've got a chance to win real big, but at that point you're better off playing bingo and hoping for the super bingo.

The character is meh but her gun can be reduce for 200 gun elements.
Character is not that bad, especially before T4 classes and if you don't have Tien as there are like only 3 or 4 characters who have TH skill. And for general low-level grind (like Hards, farming GW materials and so on) TH helps.
Still very hard to justify amount of grind, although getting gun element helps a bit and you can get 4 copies of that gun (7.7 million chips for second to fourth gun is still painful though)

Everything about this crossover is awful and this is the first time I've muted the game for something other than needing to work.

Wind Katana is meh
Light Katana is even worse, an SSR unknown with med atk up
Well at least they reduce the BP cost for magna raid permanently
This is kinda like Magnafest, but everyday

I just started playing this and I'm enjoying it. I have really no idea what I'm doing but some of the fights feel more involved than other gacha games. Like at least for now it feels worthwhile to have healers, tanks, etc and not just pure damage.

Is there a gaf crew or anything like that to join?

Assuming you're a beginner, Trick Room has one spot open! Just give me your ID found on the Profile page so I may invite you. Note that you have to have completed Chapter 3 (or 4?) of Story before you may be scouted to a guild.

Yeah I'm on chapter 18 I think. ID: 14727167

I only have two SSR's but I'm really liking the fire guy Percival the wind guy Gawain is okay.

SSRS are

Venustas
Hades
Magma Gauntlet

One thing I noticed...my SSRs are REALLY tilting towards Earth element.

And how good are Aliza and Narmaya? My rank 35 nub me still doing the main story lol

Narmaya is a really good dark attacker, Aliza on the other hand is pretty mediocre.

So are any of the weapons or Nakoruru worthwhile from this event? Thinking of just saving all my items to get some Supreme Merits. I have so many characters stuck at level 70...

Getting free SR characters is always good, if nothing else just for the free 50 crystals.

The wind unknown is good if you don't run a gun cosmo. Light unknown is the worst one because it has medium attack, but if you don't have one then it will do decent, i guess.

I wish they would raise Lumi sword drop rate just a bit. Been farming lumi for 2-3 months and i have not seen a single sword yet.
It's an item targeted towards endgame and it is very strong (not the strongest, but other have even more difficulties to obtain/to get a proper setup for them)
It was hard but not that much before, and now with planned fixes for vice-vice MVP and red boxes for 2nd and 3rd places it'll be even easier.

I have 3.5 swords already, I got around 1 sword per 400-500 bp spent in magnafest burning (you want to get a very high % of vice-MVP, with full MLB grid with at least 1 sword and ferry for +50% CA damage it's not that hard for 50% Lumi you should aim at)

ooh man I'm trying so hard to understand this paragraph. Or I don't know if this post refers to leeching or hosting your own raids

I get trying to get vice as much as possible but an MLB light grid can no way in hell hope to out-vice Zoi or other burst like Threo.

Joining Chevs is such a crapshoot. 100-50&#8453;; good luck with Aegis Merge when other people are triggering that ability. People actually burst here to push Chev to half health. 0-50&#8453;; Burst burst burst

If you're hosting, well that's a given. You alluded in an older post that three MVP hosts a day probably doesn't mean much in the end and I fully agree there with how low odds are
