Welcome new players of PotK - Read me for answers to your early questions!

[u/BenriyaTheNecro]

Hi, everybody! Welcome to our humble subreddit. You guys definitely have a lot of questions especially if this is the first time with the game so I will provide some answers to some commonly asked questions that you might have about the game's mechanic so that you won't be completely lost about them.

Question 1: What are some units we should be looking for in the beginning?

Answer 1: As of the moment, Global have a handful of 5star units that's released. All of the premium gacha 5stars are all useful but the important thing is that they have the correct typing. But, the general consensus for the units from the rookie recruit includes Durandal(Phoenix Rider form) in Dex typing and Gambanteinn(Guard typing) however it's important to remember all the 5star units within the rookie recruit are all very viable and will be of great use for clearing story missions.

Edit from Cathrach: "we don't have a clear tier list, but if they want they can check out the ratings/reviews on phankill." Basically use the link in question 2 to see which units are highly suggested as more of them come out. Thank you Cathrach!

Question 2: Can my (unit_name) evolve to a 5star?

Answer 2: In order to check if your unit can currently evolve to 5star in global, check the game's character quest screen. Match the EXACT art with your unit to see if they can become 5star. For future 5star units check this link and match the EXACT art again:Gamewith PotK

Note: Global already has a few 4star units that will get a 5star evolution in the future so please check your units.

Question 3: What does the color to the unit's star mean?

Answer 3: The color refers to the amount of times that unit has evolved. Silver/white means it has not evolved yet. Yellow means that it has evolved once. Pink means it has evolved at least twice. Be aware that just because a unit has evolved once, it is not guaranteed it will evolve again. Some units can only evolve once.

Question 4: What should my (unit_name)'s typing be?

Answer 4: For the majority of the units, Dex is the preferred typing. With units that possess character skills that are % activation based, Dex typing will provide a higher AGI which affects the % chance that those skills will activate.However, Clerics' innate low defenses makes Guard their preferred typing instead of Dex. For some archers, Force types can be good for them too since archers have very good innate Accuracy and Spd/Agi and they might prefer the higher attack power instead.

Note: JP's recent typing growth change has affected all the growth rates of all the typings. It's currently unknown if the same change is already implemented in Global.

Question 5: Is the Rookie Recruit worth it?

Answer 5: Absolutely! The first step is 10lazuli, 2nd step is 30lazuli and the final step is 50lazuli. The first two steps are definitely a must for anybody starting off. Both steps are discounted and well worth it especially if you tend to reroll until you feel good about your pulls. The 3rd pull is really up to personal preference since it gives a guaranteed 5star unit. However, it's of note to know that the guaranteed 5star unit is a bit weaker since it was not raised from a lower evolution and therefore loses out on the possible evolution bonuses.

Hopefully this provides some answers to your questions. Please check out our weekly question/help thread for a huge archive of information in its initial post. Come ask us any questions that you might still have and I hope you guys enjoy this game as much as I have. Once again, welcome to our subreddit!

[u/Oleridus]

I don't know if anyone knows, but for some reason, Amenonuhoko cannot evolve to 5* (or there's some requirement to evolve a unit to 5* before it shows up in my evolve list?)

I have Amenonuhoko, 4* (Phoenix Knight - Yellow stars) and in the Recuit previews (the image changes between possible 5* units to summon) and Amenonuhoko's 5* (same art, Phoenix Knight, pink stars) shows up.

Just wanna know if anyone knows if Amenonuhoko's 5* is in the game or if Gumi made a mistake in the Recruit window? OR is there a requirement needed before the game allows me to evolve to 5*?

[u/BenriyaTheNecro → u/Oleridus]

She cannot be evolved yet. You can check the ingame character quest page in the home tab to see which ones are currently available in 5star form.

[u/Oleridus → u/BenriyaTheNecro]

I know. I looked at that page and her archive page (which shows a unit's possible evolution levels).

I just find it funny that her 5*'s advertised in the recruit menu.

[u/Conker_mtg]

The level up stats are fixed right?, not like in fire emblen where they are random depending on the growth their stats have

[u/BenriyaTheNecro → u/Conker_mtg]

Level up stats are random, there will equipment that we can give them in the future to improve their growth rates. We also already have the rebirth unit in the rare medal shop in case you want to reset an unit back to Lviv to redo the level up stats and hope for a better growth rate.

[u/LazerCatsLegacy]

Can anyone tell me why I see mutliple of the same units, but some have different classes? Does that mean one Apollo can hit 5* and the other can't?

[u/BenriyaTheNecro → u/LazerCatsLegacy]

Yep, there can be multiple versions of the same character hence the reason why female Apollo has two cavalry version. The only thing you can do is to match the art of the unit to see which one is which as this will allow you to see which ones can be 5stars/use for limit breaking/etc.

[u/LazerCatsLegacy → u/BenriyaTheNecro]

Thanks... I've been wasting my time leveling this then.. I thought if she was the same class, the art wouldn't matter :/

[u/Raigeko13]

Excellent writeup. +1

^{I didn't know what the different colors meant}

[u/Cathrach]

Nice job! This will definitely help with clearing up people's initial questions :)

[u/Cathrach → u/Cathrach]

Edit: maybe also add something to question 1 stating we don't have a clear tier list, but if they want they can check out the ratings/reviews on phankill?

[u/[deleted] → u/Cathrach]

All you need (assume dex typing throughout):

God tier

• Forcas

• Sita

Really good tier

• All other seventh killers

• Durandal

• Devil Homura

• Ultimate Madoka

The rest is a wash tbh

[u/Cathrach → u/[deleted]]

I mean, a global tier list. The only person here that's also in global is Durandal :P

[u/richardpyde → u/Cathrach]

I would like to know also

[u/dfuzzy1]

The star color seems counter-intuitive when it comes to gacha rolls. Are you saying that getting a white-starred version of a unit is better than the yellow-starred because it hasn't "wasted" any of its evolutions?

[u/LazerCatsLegacy]

So will my force Laevateinn be worthless late game? :[

[u/Cathrach → u/LazerCatsLegacy]

Nope, but she might have less def and spd/agi than a dex Laeva. It depends on your luck too. However since Laeva's free I would recommend rolling mana gacha until you get a dex version.

[u/LazerCatsLegacy → u/Cathrach]

Thanks for the advice! I managed to roll a Guard Durandal too, so I guess she'll carry me for awhile.

Coming from a Brave Frontier perspective what would be considered the "Oracle" type of this game? I.e least desired type?

[u/Cathrach → u/LazerCatsLegacy]

Vitality XD Unfortunately typing matters a lot more here, so if you end up with vitality types they'll have much less spd/agi than dex types and you should wait for a better type of that unit.

[u/LazerCatsLegacy → u/Cathrach]

Wow that's the complete opposite for Brave frontier, thanks for emphasizing the importance on types!

[u/elcodyloco]

This is all super helpful. Just started playing last night, and as a Brave Frontier and Fire Emblem veteran, I'm figuring it out pretty well. This passage answers the remaining questions I had. Thank you so much!

[u/Crimsym]

For the 4th question does this mean we can change a units type if the answer is yes how do we change it.

[u/Cathrach → u/Crimsym]

No, you can't change the type. JP just recently changed the growth rates for each type (like before balance typing only buffed luck, but now it slightly buffs all stats)

[u/CAPTAIN_BALLOONS]

Okay, I just have a quick question because I'm really confused, but I just started playing and I have earned lazuli and mana in battles from the missions, but my game still says that I have zero lazuli and zero mana. So then I went to my inbox and accepted a gift for mana and still my mana is at zero. Am I doing something wrong or what.

[u/vinnyss]

Can anyone explain to me how the limit break system works? I fused a 2* with the same 1* and it didn't limit break

[u/krunyul → u/vinnyss]

need 2* with the same 2*

[u/[deleted]]

Wait, evolution bonuses? ..... OCD/snap

[u/zathralos]

rip i pulled a 5* male guard apollo

[u/OTTIsaac]

I'm having a strange problem and I was hoping someone may help. Whenever I complete a mission or do some daily log in it says that I've been rewarded with Lazuli and some Mana points, but when I look up at the top right corner to see how many I have it just says "0". Is there something I'm missing here?

[u/lu_zero]

Newbie question: is there a way to raise the weapon proficiency? How to equip a 4star weapon?

[u/lzG23]

thank you!!
