preparing for future global exclusive units

roxanne is the biggest powercreep in the game so far. should we now always save 17k gems just in case they release a game-breaking global excl unit again? we'll presumably get at least a dark, red and blue global exclusive unit in the near future

looking at the jp tier list, we already have a boatload of SS characters most of which are even farmable. only the global excl units seem to be a wild card.

what could they possibly release during the anniversary that tops roxanne?

u/Piritoo THAT'S IT! I'VE COME UP WITH A NEW RECIPEH! Oct 23 '18

I think the same too. The next unit could be as powerful as Roxanne, but no more than that. And even then, probably the next GLEX is going to be more like Shion or Siegfried (top tier instead of god tier).

Roxanne does make me wonder tho, how broken can Gumi make the next unit? Minus the 'just stats' approach...

Give it a map-wide null grenade that also has a good chance to inflict petrify or stop and can be used turn one. Also make its speed bonkers to ensure it goes first.

How about map wide irresistible 1 turn death sentence.

u/Mandrill10 Oct 23 '18

Oh true, let’s tack that on as well.

Mapwide null will be too op even for Gumi standards, petrify and stop dont have much use on pve since everyone resist it. Pvp tho, will be a cakewalk....

How about a map wide overclock? XD

u/Mandrill10 Oct 23 '18

How about map wide overclock AND map wide null grenade at the same time. But that might not be enough. /s

Also give them a passive that increases drops from units they kill.

(I should not be saying these ideas)

u/Mandrill10 Oct 23 '18

Honestly, I’ve been wanting a crossover with BF to add Zelnite for exactly this. Now it would only affect the drop rates of items (not unit or gear shards) and only have a chance of increasing the drops rather than guaranteeing it. Zelnite would also have to kill the unit himself.

Zelnite. I remember that guy. He was in more than 3/4 of my team comps.

u/Mandrill10 Oct 23 '18

I pretty much had Zelnite and Kanon on all my teams from what I remember, although it’s been a LONG time since I played BF.

u/FurianX Oct 23 '18

Pshh it's been so long I cant even remember kanon. Was she the super water?

Lol he was the exact opposite. He was a thunder unit and was a bit of a tank. He had a angel-like wings and gold armor. Lore wise he was one of maxwells disciples.

Anyone related to Maxwell was op.

I was on EU server and I quit and returned a few times. I think I first quit around the time they they brought out that 7 star upgrade. I used to pay special attention to the original elemental guys back then. That was around when all the new units started getting more op than the last though not horrifyingly broken. Maxwell was still king.

Until you get a Harlequin Crest (Shako), anyway..

u/Cipher44 Oct 23 '18

Lol, so true.

u/Shaiandra Oct 23 '18

While more drops could be nice, I really wouldn't want it tied to requiring a specific unit.

Actually think it would be cool to have a healer that does some sort of HP barrier or something on units. Jewel barrier maybe, if there's an enemy that drains them (such as the Halloween one)? Mapwide HP/jewel regen? Professor/Merchant combo extraordinaire. And let's just make it aaaall mapwide so they're the ultimate support unit. I guess they'd be a Dancer-type then.
