having bad skill up luck on a 60 stamina is crushing

*feeds 5* *nothing* *bad sockets* *falls to knees*

in other news I updated my raid skill levels on the google doc, it's nice to be able to see how much I have done. Enel and Mononga are real close to being finished which means Kuma, Shiki and Boa are the only raids I'll really need to worry about for the foreseeable future(like a week, given global lately)

Next week: boss rush with kizaru, Sabo, AKaine.

 

[CrackPebbles]

Maxed Boa in around 30 copies! I just need to finish off her sockets now. Still need 2 auto heals.

 

[commish]

Anyone know when the 1/2 stam FN ends? Cant' find it anywhere.

 

[Kumo]

Boa is too inconsistent for me without Kuma so looks like I'm going to have to farm her next time. :/

HOW? And you even got great sockets?

 

[Kyou]

My Boa has currently gotten one skill up after a bunch of runs

edit: and is at 1 despair, 2 heal, 2 map damage resistance...

 

[MANUELF]

Uh I cant Get Boa to drop on 30 stamina and I dont have any gems for refills

 

[RedBoot]

Ugh, starting to get lots of 1 turn cooldowns with the Croc team. I had thought the game internally balanced itself out if it gave you bad cooldowns on one stage, but nope, I've gotten 1 turn cooldowns on both giants on Stage 1 with 1 turn on the Penguin in Stage 4 three times now. It's almost impossible to clear it at that point.

Luckily, just a single skill up on Croc will make this almost 100% consistent, and if I can get a lot on him, more for Kuma, and better sockets on Croc, this raid becomes easier and quicker. So I'll max Boa eventually. Sitting at 4 skill ups and 2/3/1 on sockets. I'll probably get about ten more copies and call it.

 

[Tidd]

I don't think that I will max her today. I'm halfway done and one run just takes too much time. See you next time, Boa.

Spoiler

And 22323times after that because I will pull Legend Boa in a future sugo

[GuardianE]

After 38 copies! This was probably the second most successful raid boss maxing for me, after Aokiji. Thank you, hebi-hime-sama.

I need to save gems for Croc book farming, so I'm debating whether to keep farming for sockets right now or not. I also have Legend and Bride Hancocks to socket.

I say save the gems, at least you can farm Boa next time when you have more gems/next time she's back, unless you use the other Hancock as often that you'll have it more easy if she had sockets.

 

[EMT0]

The Diamante skillup salt continues. 30 books later, only 4 skillups. Baccarat is maxed and socketed, Tanaka and Dice are also maxed and about halfway done with their sockets. I've also managed to max my INTVankov as a side bonus, although considering that I was going to farm Bride Nami after this...eh. My extra books so far are:

13 Log Luffy
25 Machavise
28 Gladius

I'll be keeping all of the Log Luffy books, and sitting on 30 Machavise/25 Gladius books. If next Sugo I manage to pull Machavise, great, I'll skill him up otherwise I'll probably be getting rid of his books. Gladius I'll hold on to for at least two pulled Sugos and cross my fingers, then I'll likely dump his books too when I get space desperate.

 

[GaimeGuy]

I think I need to put all my farming of difficult content on hold until they fix the crashes that have come up in 5.1.1

I will pull Boa on hold until she returns, 30 stamina dont want to drop, dont have gems to refill and I need a lot of hermit crabs

Ever since the 5.1.1 update, my OPTC crashes occasionally during the middle of my turn (while I'm comboing). This results in me losing the entire turn, with no damage dealt. When I start the game up again, it will resume as though I did nothing during my turn, and the enemy's turn will begin.

I had that problem, and then a new in game download made it that it wouldn't get farther than the title screen, so I redownloaded the app, thankfully had my account linked to my twitter, most annoying thing are the missing mail and un-favourited friends, units and the large re-download.

 

[GuardianE]

That's probably a good idea. My only issue is that I often get really lazy with a character when I only have sockets left, and I may not tackle Boa as aggressively the next time she comes around.

Hancock sockets won't make a huge difference on my teams as they currently are. I just want to socket them because she's Hancock.

 

[Kyou]

okay done running Boa, I spent as many stones as I wanted to spend. Tons of runs that were mostly touch and go but it was totally worth it for the results

 

[Majukun]

battered,bruised and with way less gems than this mornign,but i now have my maxed boa with sockets too..last 15 books gave me 8 skillups,before that i went 0/20, complete madness

but in the end,she is complete

No wonder we get a skill up event.

 

[ZekeThePlumber]

I kinda got side tracked today running errands so I didn't get to farm as hard as I wanted to and it really came down to the wire. After something like 15+ with no skill ups, I fed my final 5 after the raid ended and got the last two skill ups I needed! Sockets are at 3 bind, 5 despair, and 5 auto-heal. It's always the bind socket. I hate bind sockets.

 

[Jayhawk]

I got Hancock to skill level 9, autoheal level 4, bind level 2, and cooldown level 1. Decent start, since I usually can't skill max a raid boss in one day unless I take the day off from work.

Not sure I want to repeat this process to socket legend Hancock. I will just wait for the fortnight she drops in to socket her, since there would be skill books there at least. I have too many PSY lobsters now from this raid.

 

[RedBoot]

RIP MOVIE CONTENT

Yup.

Really, I don't mind the bosses so much. My Zeph is done, Tesoro probably only needs 15-20 more copies, and I'm not sure I was ever going to bother with Shiki since I don't have any Driven legends (really lame that we never got Shiki post-Kizaru or Colo Vista though). I think the bigger issue is all the skillbooks locked into the movie fortnights. We'll see the books again down the line in newer fortnights, but it could be a while. Global's skillbooks are messed up enough as it is.

Also, I wonder what this means for Colo Zeph/Ain/Binz, Mushuru, and Saga.

And I ended up going 4/29 on my Boa copies. Great night, game.

aaaaand some of the 3d2y skillbooks

 

[RedBoot]

I'm not convinced Shiki is "required" for content down the line like some raid bosses are (and since he vanished in Japan too, they might not design any content as such). Tesoro is nice for orb control, but at least PSY has a lot of options there.

The big things to get here, especially for newer players, are Zephyr (and Ain, since you'll be getting her alongside him), Baccarat, and any skill books for RRs you have (particularly the 3D2Y characters or the Doffy Family). Everything else you can probably live without. Just a few months ago we were working under the assumption we wouldn't get any of this.

Eh, I'm sure that sucks for some people but it's good opportunity for me to finish up the last few things I still need from those events:
-Dr. Indigo skill levels (who I'm now seeing is very useful for his special in Sengoku teams)
-The last two skill ups on 3D2Y Sanji after he stiffed me on my 40 skill books
-One last Tesoro skill up
-Maybe Gasparde skill and sockets?

 

[MANUELF]

Too bad about the fortnights, wont be able to max any raidboss anytime soon

Did my pulls in Japan, got Vyper, Crocodile, Law, Miss Doublefinger and CP9 Bueno, Kumadori and Fukuro

[Jayhawk]

Hmm, pair of coliseum Kid and coliseum Pica accomplish a full board of matching orbs for driven teams. Not as many sockets as a RR Lao G and raid Shiki pair, but the coliseum guys are easier to socket and max. My Shiki is at skill level 1. I don't think I'll spend orbs in a mad dash to get his skill up.

 

[ZekeThePlumber]

Also, I wonder what this means for Colo Zeph/Ain/Binz, Mushuru, and Saga.

OOH OOH, I GOT IT!

One Piece Treasure Cruise |OT4| Colo Zephyr any day now...

 

[Kyou]

I guess the best I can do is hit the fortnights to finish off Sanji and Chopper and get some more Zoro books to hoard

I'm glad Shiki is coming back before and after my vacation, that was really nice of Bamco

 

[RedBoot]

-Dr. Indigo skill levels (who I'm now seeing is very useful for his special in Sengoku teams)

Is there anything Indigo would be used for that T-Bone couldn't handle? I skipped maxing Indigo because I figured he wasn't any different (plus, clowns).

Indigo's FN was probably the one I ran the least from the movie fortnights since it was a pain and I don't have 3D2Y Sanji.

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Was gonna farm some Coliseum Kid and Smoker but gonna use my stamina to finish this FN so I don't have to do it when it comes back and cost more stamina.

 

[MANUELF]

Will have to run Indigo again and also the Nami-Robin one uhhhhh
3d2y Sanji, Usopp and Nami needs their skill levels

Indigo's FN was probably the one I ran the least from the movie fortnights since it was a pain and I don't have 3D2Y Sanji.

I've been using them interchangeably at this point but mostly because my T-Bone is already skill maxed and nearly max socketted. The difference between the two would be that T-Bone has one more socket but Indigo's special does 6x damage vs. T-Bone's 5x damage multiplier for the 80% of the removed health and Indigo's cd is 1 turn shorter. I don't know what situation this would make a significant difference but I always see Indigo run in the videos where the special is used to clear hordes.

Well, that's some utter bullshit for newer players like me. This means that I've gotta figure out:

-Getting at least one copy of Shiki, Zephyr, and Gild Tesoro at a minimum
-Pray for a massive amount of universal skillup books to drop into our laps in the future, or somehow manage to farm these raids when they drop
-Hit Dr.Indigo hard for Legend Marco + Kohza as side bonus, fuck I never wanted to touch Dr.Indigo again
-Farm the crap out of any fortnight units I might want in the future

[Samurai_Heart]

Thats the reason I gemmed him, that and he didnt want to drop in 30 stamina

 

[GaimeGuy]

I'm not convinced Shiki is "required" for content down the line like some raid bosses are (and since he vanished in Japan too, they might not design any content as such).

The thing is, Driven has tons of orb manipulation, and Caesar is a 2 turn burst as opposed to shiki, who is a 1 turn burst. Shiki's best utility is that he can serve as a class booster during the niche occasions where his orb manipulation is useful. However, you would be better off throwing kuma and caesar on your team - you get the 1 turn orb boost, the 2 turn class boost, and better orb manipulation, even if kuma isn't a driven type.

He's probably more useful as a sub on a slasher team than a driven team. (Sort of like Raid Momonga)

 

[EMT0]

On some positive news, I've been doing my research and it seems as though I'll actually have a shot at getting Shiki with minimal death/gemming involved between Legend Marco, Enel, and support units like Leo and Capone. Most of the deaths will probably involve dying in order to ensure I get all my specials charged before Shiki but that doesn't seem like a bad price to pay to ensure I get at least one copy. Zephyr isn't looking too bad at all actually, with Legend Marco acting as a PSY captain and having access to subs like Monet, Rakuyo, and Squard for the final burst. I think if I actually had Impact Dial Usopp, I could get away with farming him easily too. And the best part about all this, Gild Tesoro? I'll be able to farm him too assuming I can socket Ain with Anti-Lock/Despair in the process with double Legend Marco too. Then between Ain for clearing the lock, Marco's orb boost, Doma giving me full QCK orbs, and I dunno, Enel for power, I can turn 1 clear Gild Tesoro.

Man, it's a bit of a relief. Even in the wake of bad news, there's good news. I'm not gonna be socketing Shiki, but at least I'll get Zephyr, Ain, Gild Tesoro, and Carina(spares me from having to farm Bellamy from story mode).

Colo Pica and Kid are both driven and give a full board of matching orbs if you're going for a one-turn burst too. Caesar's driven ATK buff and Doflamingo's orb buff, and you're good to go.

68/243 Total = 27.9% Special Up rate

Before the special up started, I went 7/58 (12%) for Tesoro and 7/45 (15.5%) for Carina. I finished her sockets in 54 (5 Lock / 5 Despair / 5 Heal), while I have nearly finished him in 77 (4 Lock / 5 Despair / 5 Heal / 5 CD / 5 Orb). I used 15 gems. If I can't get his last slot with his return, I'll use the Lock Socketbook I've been holding on to.



Today, I used 18 gems for Boa and went 13/52 (25%) | 5 Lock / 5 Despair / 4 Heal. I only need one more special up for MAX and 1 Heal socket. ll get that next time she returns. I'm happy with the improvements this week has given my Yellow teams.



With the news about the movie stuff going away, I don't think I'm going to bother with Shiki. I don't remember being able to beat him at 60 STA.

 

[Hana-Bi]

I think I only need one socket for Zephyr and some copies for Shiki. Everything else is maxed. Wish I had 3d2y Nami and Usopp but I won't farm their books and hope that when I get them in a sugo some other fn with their books are coming.

Looked again and I still need five skill ups for Count Butler. Might run the fn too...

So max skilling Zephyr hopefully and getting one copy of Shiki if i can clear the stage - no way im farming him. Did they buff Zephyr for the Global version ? I remeber i had a team ready for him in the past when we expected him to hit after Monster Chopper or Iva lol.

Thank you Sir - this helps a lot.
So these Fortnights are leaving as well ? But we will have other ways to skill up 3D2Y Zoro for example right ?

Looking at the list i should run for "Dead End" since i have Zoro,Crocus and Whitebay. And maybe Robin/Nami for those Luffy 3D2Y skillbooks.

Any of the Fortnight farmables essential ?
