I pulled Tsunade and HRT Kakashi Hatake on my third pull on the light banner. I'll probably be able to do a fourth before it goes away but not a fifth. edit: did my 25 stone pull and got Two Suns SKL Naruto. Any good?
Any recommendations for who to get with my anniversary coins btw?
HRT Tsunade, while being power-creeped a bit, is still a great character, as she has a pretty decent nuke on her secret jutsu and a heal on her first (always useful). She's also LB-able, so you can enhance her stats even further. HRT Kakashi, if it's the Kid Kakashi I'm thinking of, is also a nice single target nuke. As for SKL Naruto, I'm not entirely knowledgable of him, but I do see him being run a lot, and just looking up his stats/abilities, he seems to be pretty useful, so it sounds like you did a good job on all three pulls. Congrats!
As for recommendations on your anniversary coins, I'd recommend grabbing Susanoo Sasuke first of all (he's amazing). Beyond that, you could probably grab Karin as she's a great WIS support character, or SM Jiraya for his AOE/status infliction jutsu. Konohamaru is great, but only if you can get him below 28 cost via dupes/stones, so he's probably not the best choice to go for when you're just starting out.
This game is really frustrating.
Trying to do A rank wisdom pain EM, I barely have any heals, people just DON'T understand where to stand to not get hit by the poison, even with long range characters.
I keep pinging the place to "camp" because I have WIS karin so I can try to heal the damage and to also keep us in a corner where we don't get poisoned but no matter what I do, people don't understand.
I also need tips on where to spend the anniversary coins.
I already got sasuke from the shop.
I can buy 3 summons (I'm trying to do some more pulls so I can try to do 4 summons and go for kono 28 cost)
Yeah, multiplayer can be random, unfortunately. Sometimes you get paired with people who know how to play, other times...not so much. Typical of any game, really.
If you already have Susanoo Sasuke, I'd recommend either Karin or SM Jiraya. If you can manage to get Konohamaru below 28 cost via dupes, I'd probably side with that instead as having a powerful sub-28 cost character for that style of mission is invaluable. Having two of them is even better, but just the one will bring you a long ways.
Got enough for another pull on the Sasuke banner and got Sasuke, Madara and Utakata so I'll consider that a complete success and good start.
Not sure who I should go for with the coins either since I've got enough. And if I manage to get enough for another, would it be best to get dupes to unlock their abilities?
Will do on that front, though when taken with the below in terms of saving money is it alright to level him or anyone else to max before adding anymore (going for the Ninja Road Stone) or in the long run is that not recommended given the costs? On the off chance I get a dupe of him, will it be a bad idea to feed him if he's at 70 or maybe hold off until the event is over on that off chance? And can you do this trick with luck with the food pills as well? I've got 30 of both 3* pills to feed.
Sasuke + Madara + Ukataka = HELL YES! Congrats, that is an amazing set of pulls.
If you already have Naruto + Sasuke + Madara + Ukataka, you might want to think about saving your pealrs for future Blazing Festival banners (since they'll probably also have a guarantee after a certain amount of pulls, as well as discounted pulls). You could try for more Naruto/Sasuke dupes, especially if you're close to the guaranteed pulls, but if you aren't, I'd hold off and start building up your pearl supply for future characters.
You can level and fuse your dupes into the character later, no worries. Even if you feed them at max level, the cost isn't extreme or anything, and you can always consolidate all of your farmed luck into a single dupe and max out their luck that way. Even if you have to fuse 4-5 copies into a max level character to unlock their abilities, it won't be too costly, and money in this game isn't exactly hard to come by.
As for your other question, you can definitely do that for pills as well, since the earned stats on a dupe are carried over to the character your fuse it to. So you can fuse a level 1 4* dupe enough pills to max them out at 100+ HP and +50 ATK, and then feed that dupe to your other character to pill them. Each rarity has a different stat cap for pills, so just keep that in mind.
4* - +100 HP, +50 ATK
5* - +150 HP, +75 ATK
6* - +300 HP, +100 ATK
You can see how much pills each character has been fed by clicking the "+" icon in the stats section of their character panel.
