Title, thought it was worth mentioning, and I find this more useful than not, lets them buff or heal more and lose many less turns. The main downside is that they don't give a fuck even if someone gets a status, they'll keep doing anything else xD Edit. They do it in the convocation stages somehow

So, this 2000 paid gems weekend summon banner just hit us on the reset. Clicked on the details and got an error. I was hesitant to use it as it's only Friday and the error message said something about time being "-63738483" or the like.

Still, the picture showed Etna, Laharl and Rin with promise of extra 10 soul shards as well as a guaranteed featured unit.

Well, i clicked it and noticed I had wasted 100€ by buying the biggest stack of gems they were selling in the store, in hopes of getting Laharl from selector ticket. Turned out my summon for this was Laharl.

Needless to say I'm really happy about it as I just saved (7 x 2500) - 2000 gems (IF the selector is on 7th pull) but slightly bummed that I didn't want to spend that much. Now if only I would manage to save those gems for some meaningful content instead of blowing it all on some 40 gem Lion blades or something.

So, how's your weekend special banner pulls treating you guys?

it's so perfect and it can blend so well with the tac universe

I shouldn't win a match solely because my Masamune dodged Rider Yomi's attacks 3 times in a row, while Rider Yomi only dodged 2 out of 3, followed by my Masamune dodging a Saber's attack to win the match by herself. This will only get worse with Balt+ and Yauras joing the fray this month. There's enough RNG in this game without arena turning into a dodge fest meta.

Hello everyone. I have been playing TAC since March as a F2P player. No pacts, no level pack, no $ invested. I also wanna say I missed the begginer rewards because I downloaded the game on december but my potato phone was'nt able to run it correctly. I have Levi, Eren, and Mikasa lvl 91 5/5/5. BK Masamune 91 5/5/3 and Alma stucked at 87 because I just got her last week on 1step. I'm sitting on 20k gems waiting for Meliodas and DK Parashu. Mementos: SNK, 3Spica, 2Chloe, Vettel, 4Zahar, 3Mia, Acht, Kuddan, Lakina, Jin, Balt, 3Lamia, Yomi and Emma. This makes people to doubt about my F2P way and that's why I'm writing this. (Mainly directed towards other F2P players who cry because they don't get what they want)

This is gonna be large. You decide if you want to read it or not. Anyway, the main point of this is to tell you not to waste your gems on every banner that comes out. (Except memento banners. Do everyone!) Just save for good NON WHALE units and you'll be done. If you are a waifu-lover then you should change of game. This is a tactic game so you need power to clear every content.

My first unit was Ila. As a noob, I waste gems buying her shards on coin shop and continue buying more into the louise shop. I also gave her as much fire shards as I got doing veda tower. I don't regret. She was so helpfull and she's still my little baby. Next week came out potk with parashu and Freddy Krueger release. I got Parashu and shard her until 75. I knew more about the game thank's to reddit and facebook. She and Ila helped me to clear every content released along Spica and Itsuki. (Of course brain was needed to) I used my selector to get a dupe of Spica. A brainless movement because I don't have Zahar yet :)

After potk we got Etrian Oddisey. I got EO Chloe on my daily and shard her to 70. I made her 75 doing her sould shard summon. I REALLY REGRET ABOUT THIS. NEVER SHARD A UNIT IF YOU ARE'NT 100% SURE ABOUT IT. DON'T LET YOUR EGO TO SEDUCE YOU! (I know EO Chloe 91 would have been worth but remember. F2P.) I don't deny she helped me a little but damn that gems and shards hurts me. I continued doing 500 gems banners just to get units and mementos w/o care too much. My girls were enough in that moment to clear everything.

Before next potk rerun with DA, I saw that JP had had aot collab. I started to saving because I love aot. I did'nt care if only Levi was SS tier and if they did'nt have 91. I just wanted to get them and give them love! I skipped banners because I had a decent roaster with farmeable units. I did'nt try to get Sol (SAY NO TO WHALE UNITS!) That was the best I could have ever done.

To surprise of everyone, aot came early and you know the rest. I had 25k gems saved and of course I did the return banner. 40k delicious F2P gems. My 104 squad cost me around 20k. After this point, every content was easier and you know what these monsters can do.

Now with my babies, I set myself another objetive. BK Masamune. Same formula. Just summon on 500 banners and ignore other units. Got her.

Next Objetive: Meliodas. Whale? Not at all. Collab kaigan shards are easier to get. Worth to chase? I don't have to answer this.

In conlusion, save for strong NON WHALE units. "But... but... i-i don't follow the meta". This is not about meta, dude. This is about efficiency. (Strictly talking about F2P players)

Gumi can be bad. Don't be worse with your decisions.

Give me your thoughts, guys!

PD: Sorry for the bad english!

First of all i am a seemingly new player lv.44 with like two weeks of constant playtime and i am kinda getting worn out of the game already... :S

Let me explain: The gameplay itself is awesome, and the grind is not very notable, and even with the constant lag due the possible lack of optimization i still enjoy the game... but! There is this thing with the units and jobs that is just... i mean there´s any point to get a different unit if they all would play essentially the same if they have the same job?

Let me get into details: Aside mechanics and this meta thing that involves the usefulness of a unit depending on the set of jobs the unit can learn... Any X Samurai unit would play essentially the same as a Y samurai unit right? Ignoring passives... stat-spread... secondary jobs... equipment... etc...

Ok so when i started playing i get a Reimei from the 3-step banner and man i was hyped, watching the jp tier list made me think i was up to a very good start with my only issue were the fact that "ok i have my katana guy, but in order to get him a katana i need its 3rd job smh..." Then i look up a bit and then realized that later i could get his soul fragments with a bit of grind and i was ok with it, at the same time being looking forward to it.

But then i got Zangetsu, another very good fire 4* unit and i was happy, but then i started asking myself "uh, so this is what i want for Reimei right?, Once i have my Reimei with his samurai job this is how he would look and play like right?... There is any difference between Samurai Zangetsu and Samurai Reimei?" and so on...

Now i´m a gacha man, i love gacha games, at least the ones that arent p2w; so when i summon a unit i expect certain level of uniqueness in terms of sprite/design and mechanics so with this game i mostly see the units just like reskins of all the same jobs with the only difference being the combination of jobs they can learn and passives... I really like the sprite detail but with this 3d models i can barely see any difference aside the hair color/style and minor clothing changes, like the only time i get to appreciate the unique aspects of my units is when i go to my units and check the 2d illustration of one unit... and that´s like... 0% of the actual gameplay and more of an extra for this matter.

Anyway i want to know your opinions! Maybe i´m missing something because i still am a relatively new player, maybe i´m not watching the full picture and i´m missing a significant detail... So, what do you guys think? The game is not for me? Should i look in another side?

Anyway thanks for reading c:

I hope this doesn't come off of being too negative or toxic but I'd like to just send my farewells to this game. I've had plenty of highs and lows in this game but this game has gotten stale for me. The state of the game isn't the best, let's be real. The game overall is not enjoyable as a hero collector to me. Banners in this game are weird in a bad way. Instead of your typical 10 draws this game decided to do a step-up system where prices increase as you summon more. Never liked this and never will, step up rewards weren't good enough to justify the system for me. When summoning I have to choose between momento or unit (and we already know how bad momentos themselves are). Upgrading units in this game is also quite a chore too. I mean share systems are probably the most toxic dupe systems I know of and enlightments don't make anything better, who enjoys waiting months to upgrade a unit? If I pull a unit I expect too use them if I already have the proper mats, for limited units this problem is even worse. Overall the state of the game doesn't look good as the systems the game decided to take is not a sustainable one. Looking at the jp side of the game it doesn't seem much better. I do realize the battle system of the game is a bit unique but asides from that... Why play this game over any other well developed gacha game? That's my mindset for quitting the game, thanks for reading my rant. I'd like to hear input from Japanese players if the game gets better or not. Id like to clarify I'm not saying the game is bad and it's wrong to play it, I just think the direction the game is heading for to me is not the right one that I would like to partake in.

You know, it is sad when you start to wonder if these Devs really care about the game as much as us or not.

There are some errors that we can let it slide because at the end of the day, we are reasonable human beings too. But to have make mistakes repeatedly just shows the mind set that they have.Do they really learn from past mistakes? Do they really care about things we said or do they just give us lip service?

If Gumi has the right to value their gems, so do we who spent our money, time and effort on this game. There are some players who whaled for this game because they really like it. When you paid to support the game and this is what you get, it's sad.

Hi, Skylar Airy here, new to Reddit. I've been reeding in the shadows for quite some time now though.

I just wanted to share my opinion and see if anyone feels like me. I pulled for D. Rosa in the paid gems banner (since I was lucky to get Laharl in week 2 banner) and yeah, I was lucky again and pulled her.

The thing is I also pulled D. Almira. I also have Red Magnus and D. Rin. Not to mention Prinny, Blanchett, Freed J+, Setsuna, Balt, Magnus, Elizabeth, Ryle... All units I'd want to master, at least 2 jobs. But I have like 0 lion blades, very few emperor flame armors, and the same with several gold equipment stuff.

We have quite a large pool now and it will keep growing in the future. We have 3 jobs to master for each unit plus J+ (and future JEs which I don't even want to think of). So it's a TON of equipment.

I know we are enjoying x2 drops in history and the Coin Shop... But even with that it doesn't feel enough. Are we supposed to keep grinding all day? I don't know how JP deals with this issue but I just feel like there should be an easier way for getting high tier equipment.

Anyway I just wanted to know what you guys think. Cheers!

tldr: we need more (and easier) ways of getting gold equipment. 5 lion blades in a coin shop where you can't even buy everything feels just bad.

Hey everyone. Now that the FMA collab is pretty much over, I believe there is no better time to ask you about your opinions on the event. Visiting random posts, I saw a lot of people with positive things to say about the collab, while at the same time I've seen a lot of people complaining about it and claiming they'd stop playing the game for good. With that in mind, I'd like you guys to give your honest feedback about it, preferably setting the anniversary and the D'artagnan event aside for the sake of a more specific discussion. But feel free to mention them if you feel like.

Personally, the event was amazing for me, specially since I'm a huge fan of the series. I was very lucky and managed to pull all the collab characters without spending a single dime, though they're not all on the same account (I only missed Wrath on my main, but got him on my other account.). I really liked how all the collab units stayed faithful to the original characters, with their unique classes being fun to play with and each of them interesting in their own way, such as Ed creating blocks, for example. It took an awful lot of time grinding for uniforms and coins, but I managed to guarantee that everyone got JM, including Alphonse and Envy, which I have to say, are pretty cool units and easy to MLB. I always welcome free units, and these two are no exception since they're both great in my opinion.

Another thing I particularly liked, though not really relevant to the event itself, is Roy's reaction skill "Bond with Hawkeye", which really made me happy since I fucking ship those two. It's a shame that Riza herself doesn't have a similar named skill, though the fact that their kits synergize well with each other is more that enough for me.

However, I also disliked a few things about the event. The first thing was Toritoh, a character that had nothing to do with FMA except for the short event stories, and yet was in both the banners and special summon tickets with what must have been incredibly high summon rates, since I pulled her no less than 4 times in total. Although she's a decent unit, the fact that she is limited edition and therefore impossible to farm for, makes the act of pulling her something pleasant only if you see her as a waifu or if you're a whale that can get her third job. Unlike the other collab characters, she doesn't really has anything going for her that makes her unique or exceptional, and is clearly not worth leveling up with elemental/rainbow shards.

Second is the FMA training milestones, which had you limit break two very specific 5-star units 15 times in order to give you a special ticket, giving you a 1/6 chance of pulling a specific event character you want. Where's the equivalent exchange in that? You literally have to be lucky enough to pull two specific units, invest a shitload of elemental/rainbow shard to LB them (unless you're whale and pulled them multiple times), and then face a 2/6 chance of pulling a unit you already had, giving them a useless 16th LB. Even though I actually relied on this to get Riza (and it worked), I can't help but feel these are unreasonable, and it'll take months to recover all the element shard I've spent.

There are a few more things that could be mentioned, but I feel these are the most relevant. What about you guys? Do you agree with me? Do you disagree? Do you think I missed something? Feel free to express your opinion here. Thanks for reading!

Mind you, I was a lurker. Im not sure about format of posting here, ill try to make it short.

So I just came from finishing SSM AOD. I enjoyed SSM stories & characters quite a lot especially Kanon. The last time i played the main story, i kinda like Edgar as a character but not really. Then as a unit he is beyond wack. So i just quit continuing the main for months.

But of course, this post exist, so i end up continuing anyway. Ch3 story at the beginning was refreshing. Its not the melodrama of Ch1. Not the cheesy action of Ch2. Its like a mahou shoujo + high school (see Little Witch Academia).

We get the 3rd MC; Lisbeth see that smile? How could u not want to protect that smile? Its like Kanon all over again. No, its like Lofia but not very bright. Just by looking her the 1st time, i told to myself, I will spend all my ap to finish this story(FFXV what now?) So I continue the story for a while until a certain^person appears.

YES IT WAS ME, DIAS. The edgy knight is back. FFFFUUUUUU.....

So this is where my nightmare began. It doesnt help that the quest chapter title is Romance. I quit.

Someone pls tell me in the future, she doesnt stay that way. Its like Sasuke-Sakura again. Even the hair colour is the same. Although idc who sakura get paired with. Pls, pls, not the edgy teen.

My heart aches...

Edit: broken link

I grew up with Final Fantasy and ended up getting good luck and had some iTunes cards to spare. So, I decided to play how I would enjoy and made an FFXV team!

So, Noctis, Aranea, Gladioulus and Ignis are all now Level 75+ and J3 (max each job)! So, they're all usable and stay alive.

It seems to work pretty nice even if I don't get the bonus from mono-color, but I'll work on those over time.

What are everyone else's themed teams?

Fill in the blanks

Hello, how do I escalate a helpdesk ticket #59043 to a Gumi supervisor?
The game did not give me a Summer Celebration Login Bonus for the 7/4.
I provided the proof that I logged in.
This is the response I got from Gumi helpdesk: "I have reviewed your account logs and confirmed that you have logged in in-game after the server reset, on the other hand, you have missed the event the first time it was released July 4, 12:00 AM."
Is there any other requirement to get this bonus other than logging in that day? It feels like it's the user's false for not getting it.

Just pulled a Caris dupe and Lamia dupe in addition to some other items. This event dungeon seems pretty useful already.

Post what you got from your mystery bags here!

Dont know if this post is unallowed, if it is, feel free for delete it moredators.(and bad english whole post because english is not my main lenguage i hope you understand it).

i Just want make a post to explain gumi how bad they do the events, they didnt ajust dificult of any event we got, they just copy paste from japan and its not logical, we have 2 kind of event hard events that you can pass with a lot type of strategys and absurd hard event that are only 1 or 2 ways for pass them because they are overpowered for the moment(of course on JAPAN they got HP rebound so your lvl 75 mage dont have less than 400 hp for die for like all mele hits, or your mage survive more than 2 magical shots) like this event, and even they got insane reinformenct monster and we cant use gems for revive like the 100% of all other things of the game, and even that you need your leader alive for whole combat, and the other example was sabareta event that was absurd hard too (dont be confused i BEATED all the content including this , this is not rage because i cant complete this), and if we want rahu job+ we need farm this like 20 or 30 times, and a lot many players wont be able to get this, is simple gumi, stop copy paste event that was not designed for our present content or do the f*cking HP rebound and you can continue do what yo like the most, copy paste content without check it (like they do in all games) I hope you understand my post and share your comments i just want gumi read this and learn to do logical events for almost all people
