Just did a single ticket.

Yellow crystal intro turned into another rainbow crystal.

Been rerolling all day to start this game and the only SSR I've gotten is summer heles. Since the rerolling IP ban has slowed me down so much I am tempted to say screw it and go with that hehe.

I did two more ten-pulls...

Dark Angel Olivia summon in the first, Amira in the second.

Eh.

Oh well, out of four multi-pull, I received Lucifer, Summer De La Fille, Amira, Dark Angel Olivia, and a water Carbuncle (that I didn't have yet). Not horrible. The only thing really saving it for me is Lucifer, without him I'd probably be in despair right about now. :(

So, now that my pulls are done, I need to decide on who to ticket. I already have a stable dark team, and was working on my water team. I'm not sure who to ticket to fill out the final slot, or if I should grab a light character instead.

Water:

Katalina
Altair

Summon: Bonito

Light:

Jeanne D' Arc
De La Fille
De La Fille (Summer)
Amira

Summon: Lucifer

Riruru (though then you'll neeed Lancelot at some point) for Water and Ferry to make the "broken" light combo of Jeanne/Ferry/Amira?

Thanks, I guess I have a decision to make. Go with water, and have a somewhat incomplete team right now, or choose Ferri and finish off light...

you could go with lancelot instead of riruru if you want to go water
Yeah, I'm kind of going between three characters right now: Lancelot, Riruru, or Ferry. From what the Google document tells me, I need a "clear" of some sort, to get rid of Ferry's short effect? I think they recommend Sophia for that, but if I run her, I won't be able to use Jeanne/Ferry/Amira in the core team (unless I'm missing something?).

You can set it as an EX skill, Clarity I want to say it is? From Bishop IIRC

Edit: It is Clarity and you get it from Cleric

FUUUUUUU single ticket pulled Rosetta! Okay, okay, someone dissuade me from doing all my 10 pulls.
You should totally unload all of your crystals right now.

Do it!

Gotcha, thanks man!

I'll probably grab Ferry and choose Lancelot next time, or the other way around. I'll decide later tonight. I've heard Amira needs high levels before she really shines, so I'd like to start on leveling her now if possible.

I'm so disappointed

do not go water, advice of a water mainer

Well.

I feel responsible for this.

I am so sorry.

do not go water, advice of a water mainer
But I want to go water so I have a reason to use my waifu, Katalina.

Thanks for the advice. I've already decided to go light and grab Ferry, since the next GW event is supposedly dark-based (unless they mix things up), so it'll help me having a light team. I'll finish my water team later, it'll happen regardless! Katalina. <3

My first full team will probably be water, considering I have a lot of water weapons, SSR Kat, Yoda, and Lily. Though I am definitely going to make a dark team now that I have Lady Gray and Dark Jeanne.

Speaking of Dark Jeanne, how does snapshotting work for Ougi damage calculations? Dark Jeanne has a passive effect on her Ougi that increases Dark Damage, the buff is visually applied immediately but is it also mechanically applied immediately? i.e. should DJ always be your first unit so she'll buff the ougi of the two units after her?

I don't know about this specific case, but from what I can tell from using Korwa, party wide buffs will take effect immediately and buff the rest of the charge attacks in the chain. At least, that's what it looks like to me.
 
Only did 3 10-pull with stuff I had saved up, didn't get much besides Forte. So I ticketed Vampy and got Narumeya from a random 90gc pull.

Daily 90gc are a lot nicer during legfest.

How do I spend money on this game, Google Wallet is the best/safest option?

3000 MOBA coins is roughly 28 USD right?

If you have the droid version, you can add money from your google wallet. That's the only reason I have it on my phone to begin with.

Yeah, it's about 27 to 28 bucks right now for 3000.

Sorry about my dazzle against your FV this afternoon GG

I'm going to make a pact with you all. Right here, right now.

Starting from this moment onward, I will save all of my crystals/tickets until I get enough for the 300 sparks and choose-my-own character. I'm going to do it.

It's likely to take 6 months or so, depending on how often Surprise Tickets are handed out. I will not purchase any in-game currency, aside from the aforementioned Surprise Tickets, and slowly work up/build the team(s) I have now, focusing the Surprise Ticket pull on what I'd feel would best suit me at that point in time. It's going to be a test in self-restraint for me, especially if the Halloween characters look nice. I'm determined to follow through with this.

Day One: The oath begins...

.... it's going to take you far, far longer than 6 months. Try 14-16
Not with ten-pulls from Surprise Tickets, and the daily ticket rewards we get sometimes. I also have a lot of story content I've yet to work through, as well as Fate quests.

It won't be an easy road, but I'm going to tread forward.

There is nothing wrong with water, specially if you have bonito AND SSR Kat.

I know some people -me included- bitch about Leviathan a lot, but that's mostly because you are forced to either facetank a powerful reflect (don't) or bring Dispel instead of Arrow Rain II, which can be a pain to deal with (you need to have a team built nearly specifically for the fight, if you don't use dispel often otherwise).

Still, did you manage to grab a Fenrir bow durign the last event Chrono? Not having it is not going to crippel your water grid, but will definitely put you at a disadvantage, hence why going light first might be the best choice - you can also start getting Levi animas from casino and running Omega Levi with spare AP anyway.

Thanks, I appreciate the input!

The very last event? Unfortunately, I was busy at the time of its release so I didn't get a chance to play much (missed the bow). So yes, I guess I'm out of luck there. :(

I think I'll take your advice and go light for now, and then water afterwards. I still have a nice amount of story content to go through (I haven't even unlocked the Celeste magna raid yet), so I'll try and farm some water weapons as I progress along. I have a nice amount of light weapons currently, which is a bonus, and it'll be nice to have another element to fall back on (instead of the standard dark). I'm definitely interested in filling out my water team after though, it's something I'm very much invested in!
 
Oh great, no reason to bother then. Of course these skins looked too good to be achieved through a normal event. On the plus side it means I can fully concentrate on Barowa Holmes' great detective adventure !
If the story plays half as good as the Hildibrand quests in FFXIV it'll be grand.
 
This looks a bit like...

Cygames HQ:
"You know what people aren't really interested in playing right now ? Our new feature Defend Order. We need to save that feature man. Get all the players in there."
"EURÊKA"
"Wot?"
"MC skins tied to a stupid hard D.O. achievement"
"Genius." *applause*

edit: Oh, and an SSR summon too.

I've been playing this casually for about a month now, without doing a ton of reading or research, but I think I'm starting to get to the point where I need to look more closely at team setups and what I need to focus on to develop.

I just looted Mahisha, the SSR Light summon from this current event. My previous (only) SSR was the Earth summon Cybele, and I've been using a mostly earth team up to this point. I also pulled the SSR earth char Arulumaya during this event.

Is Mahisha any good or should I just plug him in as a stat stick and keep banging away with Earth? At a glance his ability looks situational to me, but I don't really have much basis for comparison or any knowledge of team building.
