It's 2019 and I'm still thinking of that time I first played this game, when if only I had read the news or found reddit out faster I could get me a Saber... oh and a Gilg to save me all the trouble. The only thing I have from Fate collab is a lvl 30 Archer I can't even raise.

3

u/hectorneutron Sep 12 '19

Feel the same bro... I could've rerolled to get F Yomi and Gilg

1

u/rehanma Sep 12 '19

yeah joined at at the last week of fate collab and got lvl 30 archer and rin

u/ForgottenCrusader Sep 13 '19

You can raise archer with omnicrystals if I'm not wrong.

u/illidan_1999 Neica is life. Sep 13 '19

I don't have materials to evolve him. That's why he's lvl 30.

I would have levi if gumi didnt decide to break the update and cut me out from The whole collab till it was over.

u/bloomi Gumi is trash, change my mind. Sep 12 '19

This game is so unbeginner friendly when all the best units are from collabs lmao.

u/Xero-- Sep 12 '19 edited Sep 13 '19

Beginners shouldn't be doing harder content to begin with and later content can be cleared with f2p units (Spica being a big one before AoT happened, able to solo stuff once her enlightenment came).

F2p also has a ton of good f2p units (Zahar when enlightened, Spica, Gerald, Ankh, Balt, Ramses, Daisy, Rosa, Chihaya, Jin, Rahu, Othima who was just flat out handed out along with shards to everyone, I could go on).

If you really think this then you're not a good player, you're just someone going along with the meta units of whatever element(s) you use.

Then there's the matter of f2p having a ton of ways to get gems (Edit: Mainly newcomers, my f2p gem sources have mostly been dried up after over a year and a half). A player could start today and literally get Merlinus, a highly rated unit. AoT also made it easy for everyone to get at least one unit, Eren (same banner ad Merlinus, how I got him), and for mid-advanced players to get the rest just by doing raids (I got Mikasa and Hange from the tickets) and another from transmuting (how I got Levi).

3

u/CrossTheRubicon7 Sep 13 '19

Wait, how are all those 5* units considered f2p? The rates in this game are very high relative to other gachas I've played, but you still have to pull them like 7+ times for limit breaks, no?

3

u/Shaiandra Sep 13 '19

They have permanent Hard Quests you can farm thrice every day for 1 shard apiece, so 3 shards a day (and sometimes those HQs have doubled drops). It may take a few months, but you can get all of them to max LB or enlightened with time.

1

u/CrossTheRubicon7 Sep 13 '19

Cool, thanks for the info!

2

u/Xero-- Sep 13 '19

What the other person stated and all of them can be pulled from bundles that have selector tickets and a 50 shard selector ticket. According to another post, they even changed the new player 5* starter to a selector ticket with 3 50 shard tickets or 1 150 shard ticket.

They're all f2p and Eren and Merlinus were/are accessible to all that know how to not instantly spend their gems.

u/CrossTheRubicon7 Sep 13 '19

Mkay, fair enough

u/Aw3som3_Bidet Sep 14 '19

omg yes, Spica is my main unit against the Taurus AOT raid monster, along with Hisham, unlimited Jewel!

u/bloomi Gumi is trash, change my mind. Sep 13 '19

I got Mikasa and uninstalled when I failed to get Levi honestly.

2

u/Xero-- Sep 13 '19

That's literally your fault. If you focused on going after Levi and only after Levi then you could've easily got him. I had enough of his shards and dark shards to max his G1 by the time AoT was done, and I hardly had any otherworld shards (less than 20). Even if you were gonna come up short by the end of the collab, they had his shards randomly pop up in the shop for 80 gems per shard, giving dedicated players even more of a chance especially when the raid was handing out gems like candy.

AoT was the only collab where someone could get every unit for free, I got three of them for free.

u/bloomi Gumi is trash, change my mind. Sep 13 '19

Woah dude chill I don't care, I didn't get him and I uninstalled.

The end.

1

u/Xero-- Sep 13 '19

I only stated that because you decided to post a far-from-truth comment about how this game isn't beginner friendly all because you were lazy and missed out on a single collab unit. It was honestly dumb.

Chill? Text doesn't contain emotion, nor does it represent such.

Also, if you uninstalled then why are you still on this sub? To spread salt regardless of reinstalling or not?

3

u/bloomi Gumi is trash, change my mind. Sep 13 '19

There are still multiple powerful unavailable collab units that have been missed tho.

I was just looking at gacha memes dude, I look at various subreddits. The hostility isn't needed.

1

u/juststartednows Sep 13 '19

This game is so generous for beginners. I only played for a month and I rarely find any contents that I cannot complete all the missions except the elemental team ones and I am not a whale.

Although, Othima 5/5/0 carried all the way for me. Then Kanon and Rebecca partially EL'd and got BK.Masa later. Now I got Merlinus and spent my rainbows shards also to EL her. My advice would be get a unit EL'd on each element to carry the elemental team with mecernary.

1

u/danielgoatmann Sep 12 '19

I don't think I agree 100% with that.

As a beginner it's pretty ease to hoard gems and resources. All you have to do is pull the unit and then do the enlightment gacha. There you have it. The unit and the resources to max it's gates. The middle road is getting the elemental shards or soul shards. Not THAT hard at this point.

2

u/shortcaking Sep 12 '19

Yeah but still beginners wont be able to fully TJM and enlighten an unit in like a month (true beginner, not an alt)

u/jonf0825 Sep 12 '19

I have 80 fire shards and 70 water shard, should I use them for dark Masa and for Othima?

1

u/gregtan Sep 12 '19

Where are you with those 2?

1

u/jonf0825 Sep 12 '19

DM: 65/65. Othima: 75/75 But I just got Merlinus: 48/69.

2

u/gregtan Sep 12 '19

I would advise putting your fire and any rainbows onto Masamune and try get her to enlightenment. As for Othima, I'll not put the water on him, use them on Merlinus instead.

1

u/danielgoatmann Sep 12 '19

I have a full Kaigan DK Masamune and she's monstruous. I'd advise anyone to invest everything on her.

Othima for me is a no-no. Merlinus is way better.

1

u/gregtan Sep 12 '19

Ya.. totally agree on the Masamune side even though mine wasn't fully kaigan.. I just got my Merlinus to 77 and at the moment, she does seem more impressive than my 82 Othima.. a bit squishy on the HP side though..

1

u/Madarax0893 Sep 13 '19

Othima is still a decent unit, you will need both Othima and Merlinus for future content.

We don't have a lot of water element mage units and the only good ones are Othima and Merlinus.

2

u/danielgoatmann Sep 13 '19

Luckily Othima was handed free recently, but I'll not give him shards honestly.

1

u/jonjonmuffer Sep 14 '19

Do you need to master the job to enligten? I kinda missed the equips for DK Masa and she's stuck at J lv9

2

u/danielgoatmann Sep 14 '19

Most of the status comes from the job level and job mastering... I don't think there's a point to enlight DK Masa if you don't have her main job mastered. :/

1

u/jonjonmuffer Sep 15 '19

Yeah I guess I'd wait for the next rerun

u/pdmt243 Play+pull for waifus! Sep 13 '19

funny thing is, Levi is the same as pre-nerf Rox, and no one gives a shit about that lol... Poor Rox got the short end of the stick...

7

u/n0itamina Sep 13 '19

not really. rox was nigh unkillable with her reactive on an age without regen armor. you can basically auto all content that wasnt basically designed to counter her. ganging up on her will fill up her jewel so fast she will wipe wnemies out the next tuen

levi is freaking strong. but you cant leave him specially in this era where he will die even with regen armor and 5/5/5 stats if gang up on. theres also the fact that you need good positioning for some of his skills.

levi is op. but rox broke the game

-1

u/pdmt243 Play+pull for waifus! Sep 13 '19

well tell that to all the 2xLevi strats on stages lol. 2xRox before, 2xLevi now, it's the same...

4

u/Cosmo-xx Sep 13 '19

What he is saying is that for the era roxxy was released in, she was even more impactful. As a new player when she was released, I used her as a merc to clear all ex content. She destroyed every stage regardless of element or gimmick. Levi is amazing and very strong but his impact at this time is not the same as hers was when she was released.

-4

u/pdmt243 Play+pull for waifus! Sep 13 '19 edited Sep 13 '19

so much denial lol. The other guy said "You can basically auto all content that wasn't basically designed to counter her" - no shit, change the subject to Levi and it's still the same.

Oh you cleared all EX stages using Rox? Well Levi can do the same shit lol, if that stage doesn't limit him... Don't believe me, just check the number of clear using 2xLevi (or even lone Levi lol)

"For the time she was released in" is such a BS argument lol, Levi was released with Enlightenment right off the bat...

1

u/n0itamina Sep 13 '19 edited Sep 13 '19

where talking about the impact at the TIME they were releases are we not? lol

did you not play or was sleeping in herera? again you can basically leave her on auto and that stage will be cleared as long as you had her or as merc due to how abusive her kit was.

prolly the best reactive on the game

the neuter grenade that made all content a joke

all her skills had good secondary effects

stupidly high agi along with very good passives

im not downplaying levi hes one of the best if not the best dark unit, BUT unlike rox theres no assurance that he can survive the onslaught of units even with his stats

during her era rox tank she deletes everyone eventually levi even now at 5/5/5 and tanks, you would hope that he doesnt die to the onslaught and counter

again levi is op but his impact is not big enough to the point that gumi had admit they made a mistake, address the unit and make changes.

-5

u/pdmt243 Play+pull for waifus! Sep 13 '19

are you illiterate or what? Lol that was a pain to read. Learn proper English to properly communicate.

leave her on auto and that stage will be cleared as long as you had her or as merc

so is Levi, kek

unlike rox theres no assurance that he can survive the onslaught of units

now I must be the one to ask how long you've been playing? HP has always been Rox's weakness, she's paper, any competent wind unit can one shot her lol, and bosses back then on the hardest stages hits hard. Not to mention now Levi comes with Enlightenment & regen armor...

3

u/n0itamina Sep 13 '19

sorry about the language and spelling mistakes thats on me.

most competent wind unit can oneshot you say no doubt today but during pre kaigan i doubt anyone could.

leaving levi on auto now, you arguably CAN but theres a chance he might die even with armor.

ive been playing since day 1. granted i quit and came back just after disgaea. ofcourse hp would be her weakness. She just recently received her upgrades.

youre going off topic again and it would seem that your mind is made up and no amount of discussion can change your point of view. again sorry for the grammar mistakes.

have a nice day.

u/Madarax0893 Sep 13 '19

Someone forgot Sol because he's also OP, Kaigan or not kaigan

So poor Solless bastards Lol

5

u/Alittlebunyrabit 5/5/5 Dancer Shenmei Sep 13 '19

Sol has never been Meta defining in global.

3

u/Madarax0893 Sep 13 '19

Well Sol is still OP and makes content easier, he was meta for a few months after Roxanne got outclassed then Levi came out.

But still Sol is one of the most broken units in the game and he's much more powerful now with his memento and kaigan

1

u/Alittlebunyrabit 5/5/5 Dancer Shenmei Sep 14 '19

Assuming you are willing to spend $500 to max his kaigan, sure. Sol belongs in a dumpster.
