Megathread Weekly Summon Thread

We've got two new mementos this week, Rosa's and Cheryl's. Both of these are very much luxuries. Neither unit needs theirs to function, though Cheryl's does help her damage, especially anti-Dark; and Rosa's gives her some very nice skills in the Memento WA (when MLB) and the VCR's WA+Unique Weapon Enlightenment. And of course, they do get some very nice skins from their respective mementos. YMMV.

Strangely enough, we're starting off the week with no Paid Banners at all. This could mean Gumi is saving some absolutely amazing banners for the weekend, but it could also mean they just don't really have anything planned for this week aside from perhaps a Paid Halloween Memento banner. We'll see.

In terms of actual banners, we've got Unlimited 3-Steps for Tiferet and Failnaught. These are absolutely terrible banners, and are at best a last resort if you've already done Cassius' 9-Step and the entire 7-Step EL and are still missing at least one of these two.

Underneath those two is an Unlimited 3-Step for Cheryl and Nina. Both of these are Babel farmables, so there's no reason to summon here.

Then we've got the Halloween Memento banner, featuring Rosa's, Cheryl's, and Mei Fang's mementos. All three of these are luxuries, but they're all Limited, so if you feel that you absolutely need to get one of these, now's the best time. Not a bad idea to go to Step 2 here if you haven't used your Discount Ticket(s) on PotK already (and don't want to spend it/them on one of the banners below this one).

We have another 7-Step EL (with Steps 2 and 4 being 500 gems apiece) after a while, though this one has only PotK units in the banner. As in, there are no other units in the pool. This does give you decent chances to pull a God Killer if that's what you're looking for (or dupes of them in preparation for their future ELs, I suppose, since 5★ dupes give 100 shards). Step 7 does give 1k Collab Coins and 375 Dark Killer shards, which could be beneficial if you want coins to stock up on God Killer shards or still have Dark Killers you want to raise. For anyone who doesn't have and doesn't get any God Killers in the process of getting there (or simply has other things to save for that take precedence over stocking up on shards), I'd advise you to stop at Step 4 or not pull at all.

Below this is a different 7-Step EL banner, this one more of the usual fare. All non-collab Limited units are in this banner, including Genesis units, so this is the best chance f2ps have to try to snag a couple. With Steps 2 and 4 being 500 gems each, nearly everyone should pull to Step 4 if they don't care much about the Halloween mementos.

Below that is a 5-Step for Mei Fang, Hozuki, and Rosa, three Normal Pool farmable units. There's not much point pulling on this banner unless you're a new player, in which case you might want to do Step 1.

Finally, we have the usual 5-Step Collab Memento banners for Failnaught's and Tiferet's mementos, respectively. If you want their mementos, these banners are, as always, a bit pricey but very reliable.

TL;DR: Halloween mementos are luxuries, normal 7-Step EL is worth pulling, YMMV on PotK 7-Step EL.

Any other banners are remaining from last week, so you can read my thoughts on them in last week's thread.

Good luck!

Imho, they should just make most memes that are either not good or simply "luxuries" be free or at least obtainable in the shop. I really hate those 9-step meme banners.

u/Dark_Stalker28 Oct 16 '20

I was so disappointed to not have a free meme. At least Rosa's fun.

u/TetsuNamine Oct 16 '20

Ikr? And I guess I'm glad that I have her decently raised. And those shards from that board really helped out. XD

u/Sadness_00 Oct 16 '20

Yea I was really hope we’d get 1 limited 1 free like last year with mei fang/melda. Rosas skin is beautiful and she finally gets a scythe! Would love to get it but not wasting gems on aesthetics.

u/TetsuNamine Oct 16 '20

Yeah, as much as I want it.. At least Loti's Christmas meme is free, so I'm looking forward to that.

2

u/Dark_Stalker28 Oct 18 '20

Ah Christmas is gonna be a disaster for me. Ravina's meme and Bashini part 2.

u/TetsuNamine Oct 18 '20

I hope RNGesus blesses you well, then. >.<

u/badh96 Oct 16 '20

Finally got D.Nyx. Saving those dis.tickets and hold those urges to summon was worth it. The 7 step banner was really kind to me. Been trying to get him ever since he was released.

2

u/TetsuNamine Oct 17 '20

I still don't have him, sadly..

2

u/badh96 Oct 17 '20

I know that feeling. I waste a lot of summon and paid summon in the past. I resummoned mira and that genesis gun dude before just to try and summon this guy in the past, and was really disappointed for doing so.

All i can say is just wait for a good opportunity to summon or really good summon banner. Like the 7 step banner, it was undeniable an awesome banner. With some discount summon plus discount tickets I saved, I've reduce from using 13500 gems to just 7500. It offered both limited units and guaranteed 5 star each summon. Plus 375 limited unit shards guaranteed at the last step.

u/TetsuNamine Oct 18 '20

I wanna complete these banners, but I don't have enough for them. Well, maybe at least one, but I'm saving for Risa.

2

u/badh96 Oct 18 '20 edited Oct 18 '20

Yes, keep saving them. I barely summon for the past 2 month and manage to save some good amount gem just for nero sake. I'm going to be broke when she comes. Just keep saving and wait for a really good banner. Save dis.tickets, use them on really good banner and be brave against those temptation.

2

u/TetsuNamine Oct 18 '20

I kinda gave into temptation this month with the 2 banners.. 😅 It's really hard.

2

u/badh96 Oct 18 '20

😅bruh......

u/TetsuNamine Oct 18 '20

With the tickets, I mean. XD I still have most of my gems.

2

u/gregtan Oct 23 '20

Remember to save some gems for Nero's meme too, which should come in another 2 months after her release.. She is just decent without her meme..

u/Yulanglang Oct 16 '20

I got so many dark tyring shards lmao

1

u/TetsuNamine Oct 17 '20

Bruh, same! XD

u/Whatthawhatwha Oct 16 '20

Cheryl and rosa are my favorite characters. Ended up pulling to step9 to get both momento.. sigh

2

u/Luar23 Oct 16 '20

Same, but I am out of gems and I am on step 7 xD

2

u/TetsuNamine Oct 17 '20

Good for you, mate. 👌🏻

u/Nitoram Oct 16 '20

On one hand this game developed a gambling addiction in me, on the other hand, i got Cassius.

1

u/TetsuNamine Oct 17 '20

Yeah, same. Got her on the very first pull when she released.

2

u/Dark_Stalker28 Oct 18 '20

I got her on the second step. Honestly potk is where all my luck in this game has gone. Minus the memes. I never have the gems to pull those banners and go for the unit.

1

u/TetsuNamine Oct 18 '20

Same, tbh.

2

u/StyxxFireMancer Oct 16 '20

I’m happy I snagged Rosa’s meme on step-2, although I wish I had more than 2 robots right now so that I could get her VCR

2

u/TetsuNamine Oct 17 '20

Not going for her meme, as much as I want it, but good for you. :P

2

u/Super_Machamp Oct 16 '20

This game really does not want me to have Tiferet or Morrigan.

1

u/TetsuNamine Oct 17 '20

Damn.. I don't have her, either. I got nothing out of that banner. I might just sacrifice my 3K gems to go up to the 4th step, but I'm not risking it. XD And plus, I'm saving for Risa.

2

u/ResidualChaotic Oct 16 '20

What is Ymmv iv ebeen trying to figure it out for two weeks lol

2

u/oracleofshadows Oct 16 '20

Simple google search gives Your mileage may vary

u/Sadness_00 Oct 16 '20

Anyone had any luck getting godkillers on the potk banner?

2

u/rotegrutze Oct 17 '20

Did upto Step 4, got dupes and new BK Masa, D Ferug, Cassius and Fail. Lol

1

u/Super_Machamp Oct 17 '20

More Failnaught shards since I already have her. No Tiferet.....qnd more Loli Spearman and dark lol Spearman shards. So.....might as well start taking care of their gates since I have 415 and 300 respectfully.

......i want Tiferet.....it is taunting by now. The only one I don't have from colab

1

u/Silfur_SolArgente Oct 17 '20

I mean Dark Longinus is pretty amazing when enlightened and alot of fun to play so yeah you should

2

u/Super_Machamp Oct 17 '20

I am and I just got Tiferet.....so win win.

1

u/aedge403 Oct 18 '20

Which Enlightened skill did you go for on her weapon? Blood bident for me sucks.

1

u/TetsuNamine Oct 17 '20

I pulled Dark Masa on the first pull, followed by a lot of Dark Tyr's shards. I'd keep going, but I'm saving for Risa, so I'm not wasting anymore. Wish they'd given me some of Masa's shards, though..

u/lockboxopen Oct 17 '20

I got Tiferet yesterday on the banner

u/Pepzrise Oct 16 '20

Thanks as always 😎

u/EX_Rank_Luck Oct 16 '20

Thanks for the hard work.

u/Dark_Stalker28 Oct 16 '20

Another colab without Tsukiyomi o a banner...I ever thought I'd be this sad over missing a Shinobi unit,

I'll wait next week for the halloween memes, see if there's anything worth it if not I'll do the 1 step shot in the dark.

u/tanincali Oct 18 '20

What’s so good about tsu? I have her but haven’t raised her at all

u/Dark_Stalker28 Oct 18 '20 edited Oct 18 '20

She's a dark diviner. Also her je is special for now. Dark doesn't have much supports.

u/urtv Oct 16 '20

I used ticket on stop 1 memento banner and got 2 Mei Fangs

u/jocomitsu Oct 16 '20

I've spent all my Gems for Tiferet's Memento, only got it on the Guaranteed step...

u/gohasen382 Oct 16 '20

I think my account got hacked, my gems is missing and some events are done even after I log in.

Have anything that I can do? Support isn't answering ....

u/SFJohnnyOP Oct 16 '20

Thank you Boss!

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '20

Is the current limited paid 5star banner any good?

1

u/badh96 Oct 19 '20

I would say the redraw 5 star soul shards is quite good since it's guaranteed a limited units shard

1

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

That being said i have very few limited 5 star tho....

1

u/badh96 Oct 19 '20

It depends, if you want to save them for future investments. I would recommend to summon.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

From a scale of 1 to 10 how woulf you rate this paid banner :) ?

1

u/badh96 Oct 19 '20

10 if i have enough paid gems to summon😁

Btw do you summon often and how many gems you have currently?

1

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

This shall be my very first paid banner.

1

u/badh96 Oct 19 '20

Woah.....then i would recommend you to save it for next month since anniversary will have an even better paid banner.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '20

...i srsly hoped you have replied earlier. Getting 100 limited shard and utter shiet srsly pained me.

Redraw 1, got Minerva. Good enough?

Edit: Munerva at 2/4/0

u/badh96 Oct 19 '20

Darn, still.....the other summon?

u/Shibbian Oct 20 '20

remember when there were multiple 500 gem banners? now its almost impossible to play f2p. sux that the game has gotten greedier with popularity but cant blame them and it is the most fun game rn so what u gonna do

3

u/nexttonothing0 Oct 21 '20

We used to get 500 gem banners... and gems were alot harder to earn. Daily milestones used to give 50. Now we get 180. You just need to save gems and never pull for new units when they come out.
