Man, I must be losing my touch. The dugongs stuffed me hard. It was like NES Mike Tyson, I got hit hard and it was all over.

All that new info for the JPN version has me really looking forward to it. Same with Dokkan. It'll be a few good months of waiting but both games are getting great updates


For me, been farming Butler nonstop, and have only gotten 2 Shanks books. I'm not gemming anymore (did twice, and leveled up once). Rates just aren't worth it for me. I'm gonna pray to RNG for my saved 12 books now and hope that's enough for at least 3.

Tomorrow's Dead End, so I'll farm that a little I think, but mostly save for tesoro

Mmmmm. I should farm some 3D2Y Zoro books in case I ever pull him. But I probably won't. I'm still trying to get enough Despair sockets on my INTHawkins in order to be able to get some extra Despair sockets... and so far I've got none. I would love to have 15 points in both Bind and Despair without a friend captain.

That means I'll only be able to farm Dead End in the last day... if at all.

I will farm Dead End Non-Stop since i missed it the first time. I want Gasparde for my Powerhouse team and hope to get a couple useful Sockets on him. Also have White Bay and 3Y2D Zoro to skill up.

Only issue im running out of box space lol. Already expanded to 700, those Zephyr units taking up space.

Same here, since I don't have 3D2Y Sanji or Blueno Gasparde is my best bet until we get coliseum Dorry and Brogy. Even then though, I'm probably going to keep running him until I either pull 3D2Y Sanji or RR Blueno since this specific team that I'm planning relies on one class booster per turn.

Today is a good farming day, finally got CP9 Jabra to drop, that will cut my turtle farming time pretty nicely

I saw a Turtle Time team on Reddit that uses Jabra + Baccarat as captains, with Fullbody, Dogpen and I dunno who else as subs. It was quite fast, and you had a chance of getting an extra drop.

You just need a sub that deals 6 hits (and Fullbody fits the bill)

17 Koala books, 12 Vergo books, and 5 Lao G books. And I guess 5 Legend Shanks books, 12 General Hotdogs, 15 President Heaby, and 8 Count Butlers. Not too shabby for a few gems, not shabby at all. I've got about half an hour left to farm books before I won't be able to farm again until it's gone. Fingers crossed that I can pull off 15 Vergo books. With some average luck, that'll get Vergo's special down to a very usable 15. Koala I'm not too concerned with although I've got a nice shot at maxing out her special. As for Lao G, I'm not stressing his books at all considering how dependent I'd be on Shiki, who is someone I have zero chance of skilling up.

I found a great Driven Shiki team on Youtube for Whitebeard forest and after a few tries...



Voila! So much easier than G3, where I kept messing up the manual targeting during high pressure situations.


Now I'm the proud owner of a maxed Moby Dick. Perfect for my Croc teams!

It took over 300 cola during the 1/2 cola event. The thought of dumping 600 cola into a ship is gross.

^Congrats :) Moby Dick is awesome.

Finished Beckham's colo

Man fuck that fight! How was he the toughest fight in this round of coliseums?

Yeah, everybody was like "COLOSSEUM ACE IS SO FUCKING ANNOYING AND HARD!11!!!!!!1" Seriously did you even try Beckman? I needed 3-4 tries to finish it.

That's actually kind of reassuring to hear. I did Beckman first because I assumed it would be the easiest. Next up is Ace colo.

I've been using a 2x Jabra variation of this since the turtle HP nerf and it's fantastic. With the Bezan Black ship and max special Fullbody it is super fast. Baccarat plays very nicely as the FC now. For the other two subs, I just bring 2 units with 5 CD sockets (bonus if they also have 6 hits).

15 Breed FN runs and I only got 1 breed!!!! Arrrghhh!!! No way I can max his slots and get his special down at this rate :/ Instead, I get 5 ace books that I can't use...ㅠㅠ

My socketing of Trebol is at 1/4/4/4 for bind/despair/orb/heal right now. Hopefully I get more bind sockets soon. Pica would also be nice, so that I have my Doffy dream team ready.

Hi guys, it would be great if tomorrow you all set your Towel Nami on a captain slot. I need more 2.5x ATK INT captains!

About the Baccarat/Jabra tt combo: how much hp do the turtle now have? Can I clear the teen turtle in one turn or does it take more than that with just one jabra?

And Baccarat special can only dupe one drop and not more or am I wrong? Never saw my Baccarat or friend Baccarat dupe two things in one run.

every single baccarat has a chance,so if you have 1 you can duplicate one item,if you have 2 baccarat you can duplicate 2,but those are independent so it's rare that both activate at the same time

Best of Luck on those Gasparde Drop - your target team looks pretty cool. Sadly i dont have Marco or 3D2Y Sanji heh. But one step at a time.

Teens have 15 HP so 9 from Jabra's CA and 6 from a 6 hit combo will kill a teen. Any single Baccarat captain has a single chance of duping a drop.

I've personally run Sengoku/Jabra with a level 1 CD team. I never have to stall for specials unless I run into a secret elder since killing it with a special doesn't reduce your cooldowns at the end of a turn. With level 2, I would never have to stall at all but that would require 5 CD orbs on Fullbody, Jabra, or Inuppe. A Duval FC would have the same effect since he has one more special turn reduction over Sengoku but no one puts up Duval as their active captain, and you probably would have trouble finding Jabras if you had Duval as your active.

I'd rather not leave it to RNG for TT using a Baccarat FC. It could theoretically be more stamina efficient for the potential XP you could earn but if you're going to spend stamina for leveling units, I'd rather get in more runs than hope to get the ~30% chance of a dupe happening, especially when you consider the 20% chance you'll get the elder duped on a run you actually get him to drop. Mathematically speaking, Baccarat doesn't seem all that worth it to me when running turtles.

Done.

Need to remember what I used for Tesoro, although I think it was my standard Ray/3d2y Luffy team. Since I just need sockets, I'll probably go with natural stamina tomorrow and gem next week if I need to.

And nothing hurts more than getting blown away by Dugongs.
I think I'll wait a few weeks more for Chaos Coli, although I at least finished the first wave already.

Thanks, yeah I'll still run tt with my 3x captains or Shanks. 22 runs are possible without a problem. And that's good enough. :)

And again regarding Baccarat. Say I got 5 drops during one run. Baccarat can only dupe one out of five drops and not every drop, right?

I made it through Coby yesterday on Chaos, and then I started on Ben Beckman and I don't know, fellas. I'm not feeling it right now. *know* I need to be running all the stuff that's going away, but beyond trying to max Zephyr and Tesoro, I can't get motivated to actually do it. So I'm gonna have a bunch of dudes with skill level 1 because I didn't run for books. Feels bad, I hate when I don't feel like playing.

Right. So post-stage, it pops off all the drops you had, then if you got an extra one, it will appear and note whether it was your Baccarat or the friend Baccarat that generated the drop. At absolute max, you can get two with two Baccarat captains, one with one Baccarat captain.

Some folks here said they got mad elders during a turtle time with it, but I did one TT that way and only got baby turtles through the ability. Faster/more reliable to chug through with a quick method and hope for special stage elder to appear.

I think I already decided to just pass on Shiki around 5 times now.

But now I'm considering farming 40 stamina to get his CD down to 25 turns at least. With a Fujitora FC I'd manage a team with well beyond 40k HP, so usually enough to stall for 25 turns to get Fuji/LaoG/Shiki specials up. Which would leave me with a team doing over 2m neutral burst damage on top of Fujitora's health cuts, which, while not the fastest, seems pretty safe.

Problem is, I'd still be looking to spend 10+ gems for that and I'm not quite sure if it's worth the trouble. And I don't even want to imagine how I'd feel if RNG would screw me over on drop rates and I'd go a complete stamina bar without a Shiki drop.

That was the issue I was having. I could blow through with a team full of damage reducers and Sugar, but it's time consuming since I have to stall for a skill level 1 WB. When I ran Zephyr the other day, my quickest build was good for about 10-12/hr. I might get 5-7 Shikis and with as bad a time as I had skilling up Doflamingo and BB, not gonna go for it. I have two copies and that'll have to be enough.

4 Zoro books so far and only one WhiteBay. Yikes.
And i honestly feel sry for everyone who has to farm Legend skillbooks - the droprate for these things is ridiculous low.


About Tesoro, i dont have the team, time or ressources to max skill him but i would at least have his evolved version as a solid F2P PSY leader since i dont have Shanks/Sengoku and Co..

Is the Rainbow Armored Crab exclusive to his stage ? And is it a guaranteed drop on Ultimate ? I ran Master once when he came out and got Tesoro to drop but cant evolve him .

Right now 60 Stamina Tesoro is the only way to get a rainbow crab on global. It's a reward on first clear and has a single digit drop rate afterwards.

Japan already saw the release of an extra island with rainbow crabs, similar to the caverns.

Perfect thanks - thats good to know. Now i just need to cook up a team that can clear the stage - might even use a Stone to get the Crab. Could def. use a good PSY Captain besides Garp.

I forget my exact build but I feel like an INT team with a Robin and a GPU can do this fairly reliably? Maybe team up with a friend Rayleigh or something.

No Robin.

The diva in stage 3 boosts orbs and attack in a small amount for 99 turns. You can only bring conditional delayed, health cutters and that kind of stuff.

Ugh. Colo Ace farming is proving to be rough. My Sengoku team is "reliable," and by that I mean it works so long as you don't get terrible orb luck like four turns in a row. Even with Level 3 Orb Matching and Breed's special, you'd be surprised how often that happens. I'm not convinced this will be worth it (I think Colo Ace has his uses, but he's not something with clear strats like Colo Kid or just a solid character like Colo Vista), but I've gone too far to give up now.

(Also his stage can be brutal with the enemy cooldowns. 1 turn cooldown on 5 of 6 enemies? Getting the wave 3 variant with the 3 PSY giants and having them all at 1 cooldown?)

But I suspect Bandai intends most of the colo stages to be unreliable clears, at least unless you happen to have whichever legend is a silver bullet for that colo.

I'm glad I only did one pull during the sugo, I'm going to be buying a lot of stamina between this, Croc books, and Tesoro.

Today was a boring day. Farming Dead End with normal stamina just once, got to 0 and have been patiently waiting. Should have just under full stamina when Tesoro arrives. I needed to farm him before, but with my shiny new SW Shanks I really could use him at a maxed skill level.

Gonna go all out on Tesoro. Max or bust. I think I can put together a good enough team this time. I have the pieces to put together a good PHY team so I need Tesoro.
 
Ayyyye, I got my first fully completed unit!


Max level, skill, socket, and cotton candy!

I tried farming Colo Ace with a Sengoku team with level 2 orbs and level 5 autoheal but I found myself getting annoyed when I'd waste all that time to not be able to beat the run because of unreliable orbs. Unfortunately for global it looks like the most reliable method of farming Ace is with a SW Ace team and a maxed Boa and even then it can be dicey trying to farm PSY orbs to take into the Vista fight while still clearing the mobs without taking too much damage, especially if the giants show up. I'm still pretty undecided if I'll farm Colo Ace to level him but we'll see how I feel next week during the skill up event.

I have more Croc books than Marguerite copies. I think my game is broken.

(I'm not complaining, mind you, but I would like to max Marg too)

Well, Ace being able to farm Ace is fairly appropriate, I guess. :p

My Sengoku team is using Impact Usopp, Breed, Nico Robin, and Log Nami, with orb boost at level 3 (and some other sockets that don't really matter). In order to win, I need both Gokus to have a PSY orb before Vista (extremely easy to do unless I get bad cooldowns that force me to use one of the Sengokus to attack) and I can't get terrible orbs for multiple turns during the Ace fight. I've got Breed's special going for me on the latter, which makes multiple turns of bad orbs that much more annoying.

But I've got 30 Aces and 10 skillbooks after two days of farming, so I'm in decent shape. I maxed Kid with 45 copies and 7 books, so if I can get that kind of luck I'll finish him after Thursday. I'd like to finish him then so I can use next weekend for Coby, but that's more of a stretch goal.

Looks like i was wrong, i didnt run the 40stam Tesoro stage but the 30stam, completely forgot about that one.

Also i wonder if should stone for Dead End - is it worth it to make sure i can max skill Zoro ? He would be a main unit on my Slasher team and replace Arlong as STR unit - feels like its worth it...then again who knows how soon his skillbooks will come back.

Which Robin do you mean ? I have the 2x INT active Robin.

So Towel Nami teamed up witrh Rayleigh and Robin can clear the 60stam Raid ? I dont have any Sockets on my units though - so that will probably be another issue lol.
No Robin.

So ...i cant bring Robin ? Im confused lol.

I'd say so. I farmed the hell out of Dead End during the first appearance and basically max skilled / socketed everyone from it except Ace (don't have him). Zoro and Brook have been staples for my IntHawk team, while Whitey helped make Tesoro 40 runs painlessly fast (Ray x2, Towel Nami, Whitey, GPU) and Gasparde looks to be a solid Powerhouse character (1.5x Class Boost F2P version of 1.75x RR Blueno).

Also, Zoro has yet to have his SB appear in another Japanese FN. This doesn't mean, Global can't get a SB change up, but it will likely be a long time before you can get his SBs again.
