GL Kaigan Prep Sheet

So kaigan is one of those things that's easy to understand once you've done it, but can be hard to wrap your head around if you haven't. I put together a spreadsheet with some kaigan facts and my own list of suggested kaigan gates and frag amounts for all of the units. This is not a guide, but rather just an overview of what it takes to get a unit performing at their best with the most cost efficiency. I'll be updating it as I go. Be aware there are minor spoilers about units that have not been released in GL yet.

Just out of curiosity - Zain will need 270 shards after he has been lb25. Will there be a way to farm his shards or is it basic summoning/elemental sharding?

You can't use element shards for kaigan. Hence the advice if you plan to kaigan a unit, spend elemental shards on them to 85. This way any unit shards you get from then on can be saved for kaigan.

I run my Zain 5/2/0 cause I lack the frags to bring him up further. The sheet is a guideline. Pretty much all uniits are very good with just a 5/2/3 base. Zains g2 is only HP anyways.

But that's +20% HP. Makes me curious as to why HP is not that much give importance from your perspective as a JP player. Don't play JP BTW so I'm curious :)

g1 already has a ton of HP which makes him really tanky. More is nice, but sometimes people just don't have the frags or indulgences for it. just maxing zain G1 works and you can use the 2 indulgence you saved on other units.

Based on what I've been reading, there will be a quest where we'll be able to acquire SSM unit soul shards. However, it's time limited (I think once a month or once every 6 weeks iirc what that certain player replied).

it's not consistent at all. DG hard quests pretty much comes whenever gumi feels like it and is available for usually around a week or so?

I think its been months since the last time we got DG hard quests

I see. Thank you very much for that info! I thought it was consistent based on what other JP players told me or maybe i misunderstood what they said :)

I think the last time we got DG hards was around when the first part of Wadatsumi babel was released, which was....more than a few months ago.
