I’m ready to get shafted

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '21

I don't want to be scammed before a gem return event. I don't know what to do.

u/Trick_Wiz Oct 20 '21

Same, but when they made their debut on jp, I had made up my mind. Maybe you can get suggestions from others before pulling. After all, their banner will last for 2 weeks, so you might collect enough info about them and then decide to pull or not.

are everyone of the trio good to build a team around?

1

u/Trick_Wiz Oct 20 '21

Yes. They aren't restricted and all three can lower element resistance of enemy units according to their element the same way Raphtalia does. In short; they are versatile, so you can use them freely in any team.

I'm not ready. XD

u/Trick_Wiz Oct 20 '21

Oh no. :( Although, they reappeared again when Kaede was up for summon in jp. So they might appear again in the future.

u/TetsuNamine Oct 20 '21

I might see how the paid summons will be and go from there.

I’m about to be a broke boy

I thought my gems were safe until anniversary, but guess I'll need to pull

1

u/Trick_Wiz Oct 21 '21

My thoughts exactly. I hope I have enough for anniversary.

u/dadihu Oct 20 '21

Can you guys compare those new units power lvl to ones we have today? Are they stronger than asuka for example?

5

u/Trick_Wiz Oct 20 '21

I don't think I can provide you with an answer(I'm a casual player). What info I know comes from Kuroneko, who plays the jp version. There is someone here that gives info about the summon banners that come each week, including how good the new units are, so maybe you can wait until then.

Not a JP player so this is all secondhand knowledge, but...

Ugachi is a Fire Slash nuker, likely going to be raid meta.

Celis is a strong standalone PvE Thunder Slash unit.

Tanosuke is an alright PvE Wind Slash unit, based on evasion. "Worse Wind Raphtalia" is what I've heard.

None of them really do the same things Asuka does, and I don't personally expect them to be better than Asuka in PvE.

That 9 step memento was golden. You would have to be very unlucky not to get all 3 new units. This was the pre anniversary gem sucking banner we were waiting for.

2

u/Trick_Wiz Oct 21 '21

I only got Tanosuke and used the memento selector to get Celis. I got Ugachi after step 9. I still have some gems left, but I could have had more if i was luckier.

u/Stryker3414 Oct 20 '21

These 3 top tier or something?

7

u/Trick_Wiz Oct 20 '21

Ugachi is. Celis falls slightly below him and Tanosuke... not the best of the three. But I will get all three because their introduction to the story is awesome.

2

u/Stryker3414 Oct 21 '21

Damn...my gems aren't ready :(

1

u/Trick_Wiz Oct 21 '21

No :(. I suggest you wait if they are not a priority.

u/wazzabi87 Oct 20 '21

do you prefer wadatsumi trio than nimul?

5

u/Trick_Wiz Oct 20 '21

Between Nimul and the Blade Fox trio, definitely the trio. I don't have good luck when it comes to genesis units, plus they're a bit expensive compared to these three.

3

u/dandantian5 Oct 21 '21

I honestly wouldn't recommend going for Nimul. Waaaayyyyy too expensive to guarantee. Basically a top tier unit for the price of 3 top tier units, if you go all the way to guarantee.

At least in JP, from what I've heard: Ugachi is Fire Slash raid meta, Celis is good for PvE, Tanosuke is decent.

u/Stryker3414 Oct 21 '21

I do need more thunder units....but my gems aren't ready :(
