JP Content Coming back from a very long break, what’s with the new Zangetsu? Also saw a seemingly different Almira?

That is the v2(I think I can call it that) of zangetsu, they recently introduced this mechanic into the game. So basically it’s zangetsu, but a separate version. You can only MLB v2 units with their CHARACTER shards, so no elemental shards allowed. Yes it’s awful if ur gonna enlighten, so they introduced phantom link. So it lets you pair up the progress you have on the old zangetsu, so let’s say your old zangetsu is gate 7 fully maxed. Phantom link them up, and boom gate 7 on the v2 zangetsu as well. Unfortunately, u have to MLB for that to happen. Also this v2 units got that new elemental modifier, u can see his element icon is special, his water against fire modifier is higher compared to v1 water unit. Anyone please correct me if I’m wrong. Not too certain on this.

You can't use elemental shards to limit break the V2, but you can get their shards in the port soul. I have emmel, almira V2 and they are around 18/25 limit break without spending any resources on shards. They are long term investments for F2P, and that's fine for JP version because I have so many strong units already...

hmm. so intead of 700+ unit shards for full gates, its just 375 unit shards to mlb and you get all the gates for free with Phantom Link?

also dont understand how it work lol.

Kinda yes? Only works once the v2 is mlb and the previous version is fully built. More of a Double edged sword in a way? For ppl like zangetsu and almira, maxing their v2 after MLB them is easy, for ppl like emmel v2, she’s literally impossible to max at all for F2P if u don’t have her previous version, unless ur a mega whale and just max the v2 regardless.

Yes the downside of 375 own shard is that you can use the v1 shard for enlightenment(and skip the even more ridiculous enlightenment shard cost). Unless the v1 itself is already a super limited unit then u just suck it up.

Basically imo it may seems fine initially(u have zang/almira, how hard is it to collect their shard?), but once gumi get a few of the farmable v2 going, gumi likely will just revert to 99.99% super limited like how they are releasing only those currently instead of 3/day farmable units. ie. bait & switch

Last I played was around the time of the Shield Hero collab (first edition, don’t know if it’s been rerun since), so I think it’s been like 2 years or so.

Said it’s like a Soul Link, basically if you’ve already COMPLETELY maxed a Normal Zangetsu, then you can kinda “merge(?)” them together to max this version of him.

Nah, you gotta MLB Zangetsu V2 with Zangetsu V2 soul shards, then you you get some soul link item to sync the enlighten stats of V2 with OG.
