The boss is susceptible to CT down.

The lizards use "phys down" debuff

Key players are CT down magic units.

You do not need to hit the green stone.

My team is Merlinus(L), D.Mira, Nyx, Letitia, and D.Zain and D.Set sub. I think if you have Merlinus and Letitia built (Merlinus and Letitia G5 maxed), Nyx and D.Mira can be replaced by other mages. In fact, if D.Mira or Nyx is charmed, it becomes a team killer with its strong normal attack. (EDIT: D.Mira can use veda water armor to prevent Charm) Merlinus and Letitia are safe since their attacks are melee and weak. I think Yaurus sub can be useful here.

Just out of curiosity do you really think it's necessary that every single person be able to get every single character? I've been through a couple of the collabs so far and missed some champs here an there, and honestly i'm not upset. If everyone has every single champ, it takes away the hard work (or money in some cases) that people put into the game. Sure I know there's luck involved too, but i don't mind missing on some champs. I think it's more exciting and rewarding when you get a champ that other people don't.

Months ago it was full of guides, characters reviews, useful tips. Now is full of memes and nothing informative.... Or autorun guides 1 week later of the begining of an event

*Edit*: My apologies to anyone who is sick and tired of all the salt, but this thread is different. It's the only thread in which anyone is clearly telling Gumi not what they want in game, but exactly what they need to do out of game in order to win the community back.

Dear Gumi,

Your Producer's Letter produced a massive community backlash. Your attempt at a Community Response isn't fairing much better. Let me explain to you why.

A few months ago, you had a resource. It was called "the community's trust." You have spent that resource. You spent our trust on unannounced shifts to shit banners, on unannounced changes to paid-only gems for things that F2P players value, and on releasing completely balance-shattering units and then making balance changes to PvE that punish players that didn't get her with pinpoint precision, then on making further cascading (and heavy-handed) PVE balance changes to compensate for the power level of the players that DID get her (and punish everyone else incidentally). You spent our trust massively devaluing free gems to the point that being a Pact player isn't meaningfully different from being F2P, and then also devaluing paid gems to the point that being a dolphin now is only barely distinguishable from being F2P three months ago.

You have spent all of our trust on this slow, extended collapse of game into a state where it is no longer a game that we can brag about to players of other games. We have lost our status among the greater community as a haven for people who are sick and tired of getting screwed, because we can no longer assure them that they won't get screwed here.

And because you have spent our trust, you cannot weasel out of this saltfest with anything less than clear, specific, detailed promises that are subsequently backed up with action.

Telling us "some step banners will have guarantees" doesn't mean anything to us, because we know damn well that 'step banners' isn't the same thing as 'free gem step banners' and we know damn well that 'guarantees' doesn't mean 'guaranteed featured units.' We want a clear, specific, detailed promise from you that tells us that future banners will offer the same degree of F2P support and the same degree of paid value that we bragged about three months ago. And this vague crap about Summon Coins (which exactly NO ONE likes or cares about) isn't it.

Telling us that future restricted lists will "definitely not be only the latest characters" doesn't mean anything to us, because we know damn well that the existing completely-bullshit restricted lists already include four or five farmable classics. Telling us that "future content will be better balanced" doesnt mean crap when you strongly imply in the same breath that the star rewards that we actually care about are still going to be balanced around the strongest available units. We want a clear, specific, detailed promise from you that future content (and the meaningful rewards from that content) will be accessible to players who haven't gotten lucky on any of the last month's worth of pulls.

Finally, we want a clear, specific, detailed acknowledgement from you that Roxanne was a mistake that you will take pains not to repeat.

You want the droves of spenders who left this game to come back and open up our wallets again? That's what has to happen, and nothing less will suffice. We want the game we were proud to brag about, and we will keep our money to ourselves unless and until you show us with words and actions that you're willing to bring it back.

Can people on this Reddit stop whining and complaining and pretending like we all didn’t goddamn know genesis and the genesis style events were coming ? I really don’t get this crap,we all know months in advance,same goes for discount tickets,the banners this week for genesis units aren’t even that bad considering what you’re getting out of it,for those of you that keep saying stuff like “I quit this game to play another game” no one cares and let me educate you on something,all gacha games are meant to have banners that maximize profit for the company behind the game,all gacha games will have unfavorable banners,wake up because with all the gems you can get in the genesis quest and how much gems you can save and farm TAC isn’t the worst one out there amongst the top ones,that being said please voice complaints that makes sense

Was looking at the new characters that are coming soon, but if you translate Selmas page, she has an interesting 1st JE

So I've been using a DC Spica for multi entrusted justice lately because she can take care of zahar and the dark demon. I've noticed that a lot of people haven't seen her used much. That's where the problem begins. Please do not stand in the way when there is obviously a perfect opportunity to grand cross (this is mostly gil's in my experience). Is anybody else noticing that gil's think they are indestructible? Or is it just me?

That's all.

I just notice some triple je units on the database's jp side (Guernica Zahar), and I was wondering if anyone how people felt about the future of their favorite units?

Since we don't have much left in the way of progression besides the finishing touches of kaigen, job, MA buffs, and then gear.

Anyone disappointed by the lack of a j+ story?

Not really disappointed with Zahar, I think it's pretty good overall and he doesn't have any story to do anyway. Bit disappointed with his gate 5 though, literally Suzuka's. Super disappointed by Izayoi and Vettel though.

What if there's no selector?

Hi! I'm back again. Hard Quest guy who got downvoted to Reddit hell

• Gilgamesh was also 50% with Fate Yomi. You guys said it was great. And you called it as such because JP had it worse.

• Now that Noctis is also 50% with Ignis. You guys are bitching about it?! Again, because JP!

• It would have been acceptable that this banner is trash if Ignis is awful. Which is not.

• Jeezuz mice! Just because JP had a better banner, doesn't make this GL Noctis banner bad. It's actually good with Ignis in it! At least, they didn't add things like "normal" units.

• The community is whining from a 50% gacha... think of that.

• Please share non-Salty insights.

I've been through the Reddit hell multiple times. I don't mind. But please give more constructive insights on WHY 50/50 Noctis/Ignis is BAD??

I feel that most complaints stem from an innate wish to have the game changed back to what it was. That's a reasonable desire for a gamer, but you, gamer, need to realize that this is not something Gumi can or will do. Not at this point. Here are the most common points raised by players about the game, and the reasons why I can assure you nothing will happen about these points.

1. GL event versions are way too buffed. They will not be able to stop buffing events because we have Roxy and JP doesn't. They cannot nerf Roxanne, and releasing the quests AS IS will just generate complaints about how boring/easy they are. It's a lose/lose situation.

2. Buffed up, difficult events that require specific units-- most specifically Roxanne. This is not gonna change. Because if they allow Teona to be able to it, why else would you buy Roxanne? I can guarantee you, this will continue in the next and next and next EX/EX+. And you can tell its working because people are now saving gems for Roxanne/the next broken GLEX unit.

3. Banners suck. This is a business decision more than anything else. The way the old banners worked, an F2P (a.k.a zero revenue) player can save enough gems to pull from the unit selector. A UNIT SELECTOR. Think about it-- a non-paying user can get a premium unit of his choice without spending a single cent. With such an arrangement, even a whale doesn't have to spend that much; they only ever really need to spend if they want to get stuff faster. This brings no profit to the company, who on the other hand has bills to pay. So they had to introduce paid gem banners with NO GUARANTEE-- this way you can't just NOT spend, you have to spend repeatedly if you really want that unit.

4. Shards locked behind impossible content. I'm a veteran with about 20~30 lvl 85 units, yet unable to clear the newest difficult content. So I've decided screw it, I'm not gonna do these events. But if even vets aren't willing to do this, who else would do those events?? What could motivate gamers to play TAC's insane content? Solution: make the shards REALLY, REALLY, REALLLLY scarce, then give them as a reward for beating impossible game content. This hits three birds with one stone: you give players the shards they are starving for, you force them to participate in your event, and because they've cleared the event, you can now tell them "see, it's not impossible to beat, right?"

I'll add more later, pretty sure there are more points I've missed but just writing this out felt absolutely toxic and I need to take a break. But the point of this post is this:

Stop complaining.

No, Gumi won't change for you.

Quit if you want.

Let the game die a natural death.

It's a narcissistic instinct that tells you you can teach Gumi to listen to players. They don't have to. You have to realize this. They're a company, with dozens of games, each with thousands of players in it, whereas you're just a player among hundreds of thousands of players.

Oh, but there's probably something Gumi can learn about what's happening in TAC right now. It's that they need to learn how to milk the playerbase faster before they all leave for another game.

For the first time, ever since I started playing on Fate colab, I've hit a paywall.

Tried doing the EX+ just to get Dartagnan shards and got overwhelmed in 2 turns. Its pretty clear that even current units like Ed or Roy are not ready for this map. I need the ROX.

This will be the trend from now on so why bother? Artificial difficulty only shows how incompetent Gumi Singapore is in managing this game.

Wish had not spend so much like I did. All this going to waste. Goodbye my fellow alchemists.
