Boa raid December 1st. Wat.

 

[Tidd]

Boa raid December 1st. Wat.

WTF?
At least it's during a skill up.

 

[RedBoot]

Boa raid December 1st. Wat.

Well shit, might as well give us Pica on Monday and make it three new PSY raids in a week.

Part of me wonders if we're going to see a Raid Boss speed up of sorts since we're kind of behind. We could see Luffy, Pica, and Kizaru all between now and February so that they can give us Sabo on the Anniversary and Akainu around the Marineford story modes (which we'll probably start in mid to late Jan at this rate).

Debuting something like Boa during a skill up is kind of nuts though. I said I wouldn't max a raid boss in one day again after Zephyr...but Boa's pretty useful...

 

[Adeptrain]

Boa raid December 1st. Wat.

Gah!!! Boa was my first Legend and I've been waiting to socket her forever! But, Raid Boa is useful too! Gah! I will have no life on Dec 1st it seems :/

Clear winner this week: my box space

 

[Kyou]

I dunno how much I'm going to run Boa, two new raids in a week is rough

edit: Not to mention Boa is supposed to be super hard right?

 

[Adeptrain]

I barely ran the Frieza event. The Ray books are from farming the Halloween FN for straw hat sockets. The Sengoku books are just ones I had saved up from the Tsuna Clan FN that I'm finally going to use since I just pulled him a few sugos ago.

Ah. My mistake... I thought you ran the freezia event for all of those.

It's hard, though I think some of the initial reaction was sticker shock, along with the raid being more or less designed to screw with Log Luffy teams. It's still likely some of the hardest content in the game, but it seems like there's some F2P teams available. I suspect people will put some teams together over the week.

I've seen some videos of viable Sengoku teams, so I might go with that. Legend Croc works too (and uses TARALAN), though like a lot of recent content, it might require a skill-leveled Raid Kuma.

Going through the motions, it's pretty hard:
1) Stage 2 almost requires an AOE damage special like Kid, heavy orb farming on Stage 1, or enough delayers to wait out a 7-10 turn Despair.
2) Stage 3 requires your team to have at least a 27 hit combo
3) Stage 5 requires you to have a delayer unless you tank a 9,100 hit from Boa
4) You need to deal at least 680,000 damage upon Boa's revive with one character locked.

There are just a lot of opportunities to screw up.

Currently, I have a Striker team, a Rayleigh team, and a Croc team ready that should be able to clear Boa, but you can never be certain until you try it... and Bandai might screw us over like they did with Coliseum Towel Nami.

Sengoku teams look to be the safest as far as I've seen, especially if you can pull level 5 autoheal. Rayleigh has pretty good options but can be a bit precarious at certain parts of the raid. Raid Kuma seems just about required for most teams except for maybe Ace teams so if you haven't sufficiently leveled him, you might be shit out of luck.

It's too bad we didn't get NM Luffy first. He's a pretty good sub on most teams and makes powerhouse teams viable when they wouldn't be otherwise.

 

[EMT0]

So guys, random question on belli. I've noticed that I've been trending downwards for the last few days and I'm actually sub-500k atm, leaving me a bit worried about actually having enough gold to feed all of my copies and books. I'm 99% sure it's tied to how I level units; I used to follow the golden rule of:

<30 books and fodder
30<x<60 daimyo turtles/pigs
x>60 pigs/elder turtles

But recently I've been using books and fodder up to Lv. 50 to reach my leveling goals. Is the takeaway here just, don't break this rule? Or are there any other things I should keep in mind to not go belli broke?

Beli will cease to be a problem once you're seriously farming raid bosses.

The general rule is to only feed when the amount of EXP you get is equal to or more than the beli cost. But I break that rule all the time because Beli is no longer an issue after a certain point.

 

[Hana-Bi]

Is Boa even doable with a Croc team without a skill leveled Croc? I think I saw a video with Breed, Mr3, Kuma and Robin as crew members. Are there any sockets you need for her (bind despair?)?

 

[alben]

If you are going to use Robin you need auto heal, because Boa halves your health after she revives.

 

[MANUELF]

With the same ammount of books my 3D2Y Usopp is now level 4 and my strikerdile is level 2 :/

At least now I can farm Grand Tesoro for Diamante and Ivankov books

 

[Shackzam]

Oh yeah was able to max out my whitebeard's skill by the skin of my teeth

 

[Kyou]

okay it's time!

Books only:
Rayleigh: 2/9 (Skill Maxed)
G3 Luffy: 3/9
Towel Nami: 0/1
Law: 4/10
X Drake: 1/1
Thatch: 1/1
Whitey Bay: 4/9
3D2Y Sanji: 4/35 (boooooooo)
3D2Y Luffy: 0/1

Copies:
Kuma: 5/15
Shiki: 4/12
Enel: 5/12 (now only 2 off max ;_; )
Tesoro: 6/30 (Skill maxed, socket maxed. 4 extra)
GP Usopp for secondary Heal/Slots: 0/2 (*sad trombone*)

Colo:
Smoker: 9/30 (1 off max, missing 1 socket)
Hawkins: 13/45 (Skill maxed, 13 extra fed for sockets which ended up at 5/5/4)
Kid: 1/3

Stats:
Books: 19/76 = 25% (exactly on average, even with the bad Sanji)
Copies: 20/71 = 28%
Colo: 23/78 = 29%
Overall: 62/225 = 27%

Cannot complain at all. Over 25% average is beating the odds. Hawkins will help out a bunch in team comp so I'm excited for that and I'm super glad to finally have that Rayleigh off my back.

 

[Jayhawk]

Skill up results:

51 Tesoro - 8/51. better luck with sockets. only need 1 cooldown socket
7 Whitebeard - 2/5. maxed, didn't need last 2
8 Rayleigh - 1/5. maxed, didn't need last 3
3 Log Luffy - 1/3. maxed
12 Bepo - 2/12
5 Apoo - 0/5
1 QCK Jinbe - 0/1
18 Doma - 5/18
8 Whitey Bay - 0/8
3 RR Oars Jr - 0/3
1 INTvankov - 1/1
48 coliseum Hawkins - 13/40. maxed. used 2 more for sockets. didn't need the 6 skill books. ended up 1/5 AH, 5/5 bind, 5/5 despair.
8 Vergo - 2/8
9 Lao G - 2/5. didn't need the other 4
31 3D2Y Zoro - 5/31. 1 away from max
24 3D2Y Luffy - 5/24. maxed
27 3D2Y Nami - 5/27. 1 away from max
3 Machvise - 0/3
4 Diamante - 1/4
8 Mr 1 - 3/8
3 raid Kuma - 0/3
17 Monster Chopper - 4/17. skill level 11 now. didn't get sockets I wanted.
29 Blackbeard - 7/29. skill level 12 now. 4/5 bind, 5/5 cooldown
10 Perona - 2/10. maxed, still missing 1 bind socket
10 Duval - 2/10
48 Enel - 13/45. maxed, used rest for sockets. 5/5 AH, 5/5 bind, 3/5 despair.

Finally skill-maxed some units that should have been maxed long ago. A little unlucky with a few other units, being 1 or 2 away from skill max. I might feed some of these other RR dupes I've been hoarding for Rayleigh shop like Senor Pink, after I do some research on which fortnights drop their books.

 

[Bremsstrahlung]

So far I've got

Whitebeard 2/3
Rayleigh 0/3
Colo Smoker 10/36
Colo Hawkins 8/42

I'll do the rest later.

Edit: Oh, I became a member. When'd that happen?

 

[ZekeThePlumber]

19 Rayleigh - 3 skill ups MAX
20 Sengoku - 7 skill ups
4 Blamenco - 1 skill up
60 Smoker - MAX (5/5/5)
32 Kid - 8 skill ups (3/0/2)
60 Hawkins - MAX (3/5/2)
15 Vergo - 3 skill ups MAX
15 Lao G - 3 skill ups MAX
37 3D2Y Zoro - MAX
30 3D2Y Chopper - MAX
40 3D2Y Sanji - 5 skill ups
38 3D2Y Nami - MAX
2 PSY Enel - 0 skill ups
10 INT Franky - 2 skill ups
60 Shiki - MAX (5/5/5)
5 Boa Sandersonia - 2 skill ups
40 Tesoro - 1 away from max (5/5/5/5/5)

Everything went really well... except for Sanji. It wouldn't be the first time Sanji takes an L and it certainly won't be the last, goddamn shitty garbage can. Tesoro kinda trolled me by not giving me that last skill up but his special is more than usable at that level anyway. I at least got him evolved and fully socketed.

I'm down to 575/1100 box space!

 

[RalchAC]

Got some good luck on skill up, like 7 skill ups on Blamenco for 15 books, DEX Hawkins being at max after I had fed like 35 copies or Kuma getting 3 sups after feeding 5 copies.

But sockets are always there to remind you that you'll never finish a raid boss. Never. Seriously. They're a never ending cycle of gemming.

I know they are not 100% necessary, but they seem to be quite important for some Colos and raids. And... Yeah.

 

[Adeptrain]

Maxed my first raid boss!!!! Maxed Mihawk feels really really nice after all that farming
I also made good progress on IntHawk's sockets.

Also, this was posted on Reddit by member Enkend for those who want a peak into December:

Next monday Raid will be BlackBeard

23/12 : Aokiji Raid

26/12 : Ivankov Raid

30/12 : Duval Raid

And the returning Fortnight will be:

07/12 - 13/12 :morgan and Breed

14/12 - 20/12: Smoker and Young Arlong

21/12 - 27/12 : Alvida and Tom Workers

28/12 - 04/01 : CobiMepppo and Tsuru

 

[Majukun]

results from the skillup

jinbe 4/13
rakuyo 1/2
colo smoker 12/70 (lv. MAX/soc. MAX)
colo kid 12/64 (lv. MAX/soc. 4/5/5)
jabra 0/2
lao g 7/34 (lv. MAX)
raid kuma 6/30 (lv. MAX/soc. MAX)
shiki 14/80 (lv. -1 from max/soc. 5/4/5)
gasparde 8/40 (lv. MAX/soc. 2/5/4/4)
colo hawkins 3/22 (lv. MAX/soc. MAX)
carina 6/30 (lv. MAX/soc. MAX)
tesoro 11/55 (lv. MAX/soc. MAX)

SHIKI was the ONE character i wanted to max...instead 80 copies but still one skillup left and one socket left...hope it returns for one last time.

other than that,kind of good skillup event for me..despite a really bad start

 

[Tidd]

I just list the most important characters because I'm too lazy.

Max skilled characters: (books needed for max skill/total amount I had)

Tesoro 30/53 (only need 1 more Bind and cool down reduction socket)
3D2Y Sanji 30/40
Int Ivankov 1/3 (got my last skill up )
Jozu 1/2 (also the last skill up)
RR Kuma 1/2


Not maxed:

Shiki 50/50 (still need one more skill up but got all sockets, so I'm pretty happy with him. 5 more copies should be enough and I will never ever touch this bs raid again...)
Colosseum Kid (8/40) (I guess it's okay. 20 more copies should be doable in 3 days.)


Still have colosseum Smoker left because I need a rainbow Penguin and a lobster to evolve him.
Overall I'm pretty happy with this especial how Shiki and Tesoro went. With 50 copies I nearly maxed both of them. I would say I'm way above the average skill up rate thanks to all these 1/2 skill ups.

Also, this was posted on Reddit by member Enkend for those who want a peak into December:

This is wrong. Next Monday we will get Pica and Friday Nightmare Luffy.

Spoiler

/s

Seriously I'm joking right now but it seems like at least one new raid boss is coming between Blackbeard and Aokiji. Or some kind of clash of clashes otherwise it doesn't make any sense to leave such a big gap.

DAT LUCCI fortnight they promised us to return soon because of the pig error. ;__;

 

[Hana-Bi]

Might post a list later but it was overall quite good. Tried to max two raid Kumas but of course I always get the sockets for the other version instead. Highlight were 4 bind and 1 heal socket out 5 copies for my Kuma (bind/map/poison). My other Kuma is of course bind/despair/heal.

At least I got the two missing sockets for Caesar out of two dupes...

Max skilled and socket Colo Kid, max skilled 3d2y Zoro and his unevolved version out of 40 copies, max skilled and socket Tesoro and Carina, max skilled Colo Hawkins and one version of raid Kuma need two map sockets and the other version 6 skill ups + some sockets.

 

[Hisoka]

Nice skillup overall, congrats guys!

Max skilled:

Kuma (+ sockets)
Heracles (+ sockets)
Duval
Tesoro
Carina
Colo Urouge

Not max:

Cmon Enel, with 7 out of 40 clearly behind the curve. Sitting on 21 with him. ugh

Notable:

10 shiki giving me 5 skillups. Very nice!

Colo Hawkins and Smoker were already max.

 

[ZekeThePlumber]

DAT LUCCI fortnight they promised us to return soon because of the pig error. ;__;

They're going to cut down his scheduled return from 10 months from now to just 8 months. Quite frankly, you should be grateful.

For anyone planning on farming Boa, she needs over a million XP to evolve and unlock her 3rd socket. Really I guess the only way to do this is to save up off color turtles from today's and the 1st's turtle events and hope to get enough to evolve her asap. At least Bandai sent us the "Law evolver set" which pretty much a Boa evolver set minus a yellow dragon.

[bobohoro]

Overall short of 26%, so I can't complain, although I got some bad beats in SB feeding and of course had the best runs with characters I already had more than enough copies of.

Socketwise I managed 5/5 AH on my Mihawk, so that's done.
Might start a second Mihawk, but undecided between CD and Bind. I guess CD is more useful in the long run?

MC is at 2/5 with CD/AH.
Carina is at 5/3/5 for CD/AH/Orbs
Heracles-un was kinda rough all around, sitting at 2/3/2 Despair/AH/CD, not a single bind socket in sight.
Tesoro went ok socketwise, got 1/4/4/5/4, but I can already see getting those 4 bind sockets to be a royal pain later on.


Now to farm for Gladius books to get him those 3 special levels, undecided what I'll do afterwards. Don't see any chance to do Boa currently, don't think I can even farm 40 stamina. At least BB is on Monday, will try my hardest to max him then.

 

[MANUELF]

Keep getting Gladius books instead of Diamante

 

[MiTYH]

Still working my way through the box. Most importantly, HW Zoro got a max skill, FINALLY. Almost max slots too, but it's full autoheal which is all I care about.

Heracles'n for MVP, max skill from basically nothing. Duval did alright too

Whitey Bay for most disappointing, had 3 copies and a bunch of books, got nothing and terrible slots

Others have been mixed. Colo Hawkins at skill 14 out of possible 12, but 14 is pretty low so that's fine. Colo Smoker got maxed. Baccarat was pretty lucky too, which is fine by me. Faster I can max her, faster I can move onto other 1/2 stamina ones

EDIT: I take it back. 10 Perona copies, no skillups, no sockets. Worst one. Meanwhile, DogPenguin just went 2/2 skillups...

DOUBLE EDIT: Finally done. Overall, like I said, mixed bag. Happy for some (3D2Y Brook maxed), sad for others (PERONAAAA). Box space is now at a happy 546. So that used about... 400 or so items. Sometimes I really DO hate being a collector. / I hope they eventually make a super strike-like event that DBZ Dokkan has for low-cost units or... something.

 

[Hana-Bi]

Damn, realized that I should have farmed Taralan. My Croc team has a combo of 27 if I always hit a perfect against the giant which means only my last hit with Kuma does some damage. With Taralan instead of Mr.3 I'd have at least some room for error...

I need to think of a different team...

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Man we sure have been getting half stamina fortnights a lot!

Does this happen as often in Japan? I'm kinda shocked they're half STA again.

 

[bjork]

It's still likely some of the hardest content in the game, but it seems like there's some F2P teams available. I suspect people will put some teams together over the week.

I've seen some videos of viable Sengoku teams, so I might go with that. Legend Croc works too (and uses TARALAN), though like a lot of recent content, it might require a skill-leveled Raid Kuma.

Taralan is the spider dude? I have him. Hm...

I need to think of a different team...

27 could still work. She always starts at 3 CD, so assuming you aren't despaired and you bring an additional delayer, you will probably have 3 turns to kill her. I was planning on bringing both Monet and Mr.3, which would let me use Mr.3 against the Giants, and Monet on the initial turn against Boa to avoid a hit.

I wish I could use GPU, but he won't do enough damage to clear stage 2, and I'll be despaired.

EDIT: Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe I should just get despaired. The stage 3 giants don't have that much health and the additional three turns of stall will be huge. And it doesn't make any difference in terms of damage to Boa.

 

[bjork]

Oh, my Tesoro running went pretty okay.

He's level 71 with skill level 7, so 19 turns which is feasible for use.
5 damage/4 CD/2 lock/2despair/1 heal

If he comes back around, I'll ditch damage reduction for something else maybe. But for now it's nice to have one fewer socket popping up when I feed copies.

 

[RR30]

0/10 on SW Shanks

Maxed Hawkins in 30 copies including a 5/5. Still need sockets as I had no luck there.

 

[bobohoro]

I actually thought about getting DR on Tesoro, since orbs seem kinda redundant on PSY teams with all the orb control and SW Shanks they have.
But my first 3 out of 5 sockets were orbs, so I kinda left it at that.

I also just realised that his copies didn't quite give as much exp as other raids like Mihawk. I'm just at about Lv 77 (only halfway done) after feeding 40 copies and some minor mobs/junior turtles.


And my 3D2Y-Luffy team is getting way more powerful, now that I have Mihawk and Gladius at a CD of 17 and lower. Gladius is also probably the one RR I will focus my forbidden tomes on from now on.

 

[commish]

Man we sure have been getting half stamina fortnights a lot!

Does this happen as often in Japan? I'm kinda shocked they're half STA again.

I love it. Allows me to level up much, much quicker. 5k experience for 15 stam is tough for me to beat.

 

[RedBoot]

My skill ups went surprisingly well. Skill maxed Colo Smoker, Hawkins, and Kid, along with decent sockets (though my Colo Smoker's only at 4/3/4 after 65 copies...Hawkins was socket maxed with 15 to spare).

Also managed 8 skill ups on Kuma with only 15 copies (including a 5 out of 5 feed), which is easily the best luck I had today. I got less skill ups on Enel with twice the copies (7 out of 30). That puts Kuma at 20, which is actually under Croc's cooldown right now, so I can actually start using him on Croc teams!

Got Tesoro to 17 CD and 17/25, which is solid for the first run (and very much usable). Can probably finish him next time, maybe even outside of skill up.

Taralan is the spider dude? I have him. Hm...

Yup. I love using random story characters in raid teams. The other weird thing about using Legend Croc for the Boa raid is that you absolutely need level 1 Autoheal, which you'd normally avoid for Croc teams. Luckily, you have some leeway on team build since you don't need Heracles'n, so you can probably stick your best Cerebral beatstick with AH slots in there. I'll be running Double Croc, 3D2Y Robin, Raid Kuma, Taralan, and Sengoku since he has AH. Even with my current levels, it looks to be a reliable team (and I can get some level ups before Friday). The only question is whether I can reliably stall for Croc's cooldown, but I'll be wanting to take damage anyway.

Trying to put together a Sengoku team as well, just in case I run out of Croc friends. There are some that use an INT Zombie from Thriller Bark, as he shifts TND to INT. A basic team of Double Sengoku, Breed, Nico Robin, GP Usopp, and either Doffy or Noland works fine, but you need some orb luck (not terrible since you have Breed's special and Orb Boost sockets, but not 100%). I might try the builds with the Zombie instead since it might be more consistent.

No skillups from me since i had nothing saved up lol - hope i will have farmed some more for the next skill up event. Maybe we get a Holiday or New Year surprise.

My new Lucci team rocks - burst is crazy good, im not used to hitting that hard. Only think that sucks - i dont have many Lucci friends and the current Island rotation offers nothing to skill up any of the team members. Hope i dont have to wait to long for something to come up -right now im kinda invested in getting back again heh.

Checked out the available Raids - my focus should be max skilling Doffy, Raid Kuma and maybe Nightmare Luffy if i need a delay on Lucci.

PS. Lucci players on GAF ? Shoot me a invite (625,346,186)

They got cut at some point

Nice...dont even need to bring direct damage anymore, if you somehow get hit while running Marco.

Still there, super lonely now! But saving gems for 2nd anniversary or, if it's nice, a christmas sugo. Have 200+ already, so pulling is more tempting than ever. Still can clear all the content without 6*, so it's ok.
Man if i can't pull of a legend then haha!

Spoiler

ha

Sounds amazing - smart thing to do, would be nice to pull multiple Legends during one of the Holiday or Anniversary Sugo - its time for you to leave that club as well.

I will stop pulling for the next weeks as well - honestly i only dropped everything in Sugos because i wanted to break that No-Legend curse somehow. But now i can kinda relax a bit and start working on teams again or saving Gems for Raidbosses like i used to.

I think I'll use this team for Boa:

I'll use Zoro instead of Koza.

I could also run Croc but without his skill maxed IntHawk seems to be the safer team.

Running evolver islands with Baccarat is wonderful. Also cool: running Pig Island with Baccarat. Managed to dupe an evolved PSY pig a moment ago. Gonna try and get together 1 million XP of random stuff before Friday so I can evolve Boa immediately.

I put mine up in one of the crew slots. He's level max, but doesn't have maxed sockets just yet. If they ever decide to bring the FN back like they said, though, I think I can make it.

Yo! My Lucci's nowhere close to ready for primetime with maxed sockets, but he's at least evolved and at a passable level for double Lucci teams, good enough to at least be worth putting on as a Friend Captain. I just sent you a friend request. Now's also a good time to add myself to the GAF spreadsheet.

On skillups....I'll take it happily, although some things were a tad disappointing. I may as well turn it into a pseudo-update for the log though.

Day 22: The Day of Reckoning

Skillup is so far, not done and ongoing process because I'm actually out of Belli. Yes, I am bad at this game, I did what was thought impossible. But you already knew that I was bad. This post will get updated later with the final tally on skillups.

1/2 Legend Marcos
2/8 Thunderbolt Tempo Nami
4/11 Diable Jambe Sanji
2/6 Law 5*
1/4 Capone
0/1 INTvankov
0/1 Diamante
3/14 Mirage Tempo Nami
0/1 GP Usopp
1/9 Arm Point Chopper
4/28 Alvida <----------------------this shit right here was so disappointing
1/9 Bon Clay
3/12 Mr. 3
0/1 Mr. 4
0/1 Zeff

1/1 Mihawk
5/17 Kalifa
3/10 Paulie
0/2 Baccarat

Left to feed:
Ashura Zoro
Gear 2nd Luffy

Great results on Kalifa, Paulie, Diable Jambe Sanji, and Law. Also very pleased with Mr.3, Marco, and Mihawk. But straight WTF at Alvida. Now, I'd have walked away feeling so-so about all of what I've gotten done with skillups, but wait.

A NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHES

Doublefinger dropped in between me minmaxing my EXP at Alabasta! That means I could drop 14 books on her and the results? 3/14. I'll take those skillups and 14 more box spaces that I wasn't anticipating today, happily. Now to fix my money situation...the good news on Alvida though, is that she's coming back in mid-December giving me another chance to max her skillup and also get that last autoheal socket on her. So the disappointment is tinged with optimism.

Nice...dont even need to bring direct damage anymore, if you somehow get hit while running Marco.

Personally now I just run a story jabra team for all turtle times. He does 9 fixed damage per turn so you can just cruise

Add a Baccarat for some sweet sweet bonus elders

Seems like somebody needs to add themselves to the new spreadsheet. People should look to update the noted skill levels of their captains on the spreadsheet due to this skill up event.

 

[MANUELF]

Why does Gladius keep dropping when I want Diamante and Ivankov? Is the same in Japan where I already have 4 Cavendish books but no cavendish

 

[Tidd]

I hope people on my friend list could max their SW Aces. I really need them for Boa.
