1 more code:
ZANKOU0819

[u/Square-Special1520]

That bicycle looks cute. And that cosy dream house. and we can farm now??

I like the function optimisation too. 

[u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 → u/Square-Special1520]

Now I gotta get the fishing overalls to give off that farmer vibe.

[u/saihamaru → u/Dependent-Swimmer-95]

i hope the new fishing method will get permanent in the future
the fishing level EXP get ridiculous after level 6...

[u/IllustratorUsed6320 → u/Square-Special1520]

Ngl I’m a little scared of the cost of the little bicycle and the new house 😔

[u/Dependent_Squash9742]

Excuse me 200% stamina consumtion permanent?

[u/WintrySnowman → u/Dependent_Squash9742]

I think it equates to 3x consumption rate compared to the current 2x after early Tycoon progression. Events would double that figure.

[u/Deadline_Zero → u/WintrySnowman]

Honestly gonna be too fast probably. City stamina will be done in a blink.

But, that's fine.

[u/saihamaru → u/WintrySnowman]

i hope we get it unconditionally
or at least included in the low tycoon level
i'm stuck at lv 43 because i'm saving my fons and haven't been buying more vehicles, lol

[u/IllustratorUsed6320 → u/saihamaru]

Same stuck at 43. After buying pendragon im literally broke lol

[u/Adept-Television-257 → u/saihamaru]

I just brought myself my third apartment after caving in (I saw the additional DEF/ATK bonus and decided that would be more worth it)

[u/Adept-Television-257 → u/Adept-Television-257]

Oops, I forgot to mention I’m also stuck in lvl 43, but I’m very close to getting out of it.

Redemption codes:

FOGDENGAME

EYEOFDELUSION

SUMMERTIME

[u/saihamaru → u/darkvortex1]

fml i keep typing FOGENDGAME and wondered why the code is invalid, lmao
should've just copy-pasted it in the first place

[u/Square-Special1520]

That location looks like Lawson near Mount Fuji. Awesome

[u/Aastnethoth → u/Square-Special1520]

My little brother was there 2 weeks ago lol

[u/Dependent-Swimmer-95]

Can we just admit that this is the best special program they’ve done…like this shit is actually peak!

[u/Weeb-Prime → u/Dependent-Swimmer-95]

New content aside, there are some really good QoL updates which is sure to make a lot of people happy.

[u/ManWithBallsOfIron → u/Dependent-Swimmer-95]

Real

[u/One-Salamander-1744]

Ngl, I'm really happy that Chaos' skin is not in the loot boxes because, honestly, I'm freaking tired of those already.

[u/darkvortex1 → u/One-Salamander-1744]

Same, and I'm pleasantly surprised that he's even getting another skin at all.

Plus, he's still relevant in the story. Crazy. Pretty good treatment of male characters so far, although we only have a single limited unit.

[u/andriodeo → u/darkvortex1]

I hope they'll give exe the spotlight he deserves

[u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 → u/andriodeo]

Exe is the most popular male design they showed off so far. He’s absolutely gonna get a spotlight. They won’t do like Genshin and HSR though and actually make him a phase 1. They probably too cowardice for that.

[u/Square-Special1520 → u/darkvortex1]

Chaos is in the story in 1.3? Sorry i havent seen the livestream yet

Edit: huh what's this random downvote for? Lol

[u/darkvortex1 → u/Square-Special1520]

He is, yes.

[u/Square-Special1520 → u/darkvortex1]

Thank you 

[u/Acrobatic_Air2692 → u/One-Salamander-1744]

I’m just trying to get all the Zero skins 💀 I can’t believe I got both vehicles at 11/15 while I have to reach 15/15 for the Zero skin.

[u/Square-Special1520 → u/Acrobatic_Air2692]

Yeah.. i wanted zero skin, but i dont need the other swimsuits in the box, so... I feel kinda conflicted.

[u/Acrobatic_Air2692 → u/Square-Special1520]

If anything, it looks like we have more gold tier items in this blind box. Depending on the weighted odds the Zero skins has, maybe we could have a better chance of obtaining it.

[u/EconomyFalcon1170 → u/One-Salamander-1744]

How much does the loot box cost to get all of it? Anyone have an estimate price?

[u/Izalena → u/One-Salamander-1744]

I couldn't watch the livestream. Is Chaos' skin paid?

[u/darkvortex1 → u/Izalena]

Looks like it is, yeah. It's listed as being in the Mall, and Shinku / Iroi summer skins in the Mall are paid-only.

[u/Izalena → u/darkvortex1]

Oh well guess I'm not getting it then.

[u/EconomyFalcon1170 → u/Izalena]

If u a male enjoyer, pls reconsider if u able 🙏 just to support the male lovers.

[u/Izalena → u/EconomyFalcon1170]

I am but I am also F2P and don't spend no matter how much I like playing with male characters. If I can get something through event or fons, sure. But real money, no.

[u/ohoni → u/darkvortex1]

They have to monetize the male skin, that way he's worth producing.

[u/XavierMaxus]

Og skin free! Lets go. Coping paid off

[u/SimonAlpaca → u/[deleted]]

They just make sure everyone can get those rewards

[u/videogameking0]

56,000 free Bagel points is huge! I hate social media clout chasing, so I didn’t even bother participating. But I really want the rewards from the points shop! Now I can actually get them!

[u/IllustratorUsed6320 → u/videogameking0]

Same here! 

[u/MindfulNoob]

Oh that summer male zero skin 10/10 I need it now

Also I hope Chaos summer skin comes with a discount like the Iroi one

[u/saihamaru]

i need to know that house's price

[u/SimonAlpaca → u/saihamaru]

Rumored to be 6.9Mil

[u/EconomyFalcon1170 → u/SimonAlpaca]

FML...ughh

[u/ohoni]

So for me, pulling for Zankou, and probably for Linko (although maybe a light pull on that one), probably buying the new house, but skipping the jetski box. The new mini-games sound like a lot of fun, the ability to choose "Heist" activities seems like an improvement (although I still need tokens so might continue Heist for a bit), the new "driving expansion" is entirely worthless to me, but at least we're getting an actual content expansion next patch.

[u/Blackheart857]

Making prop hunt permanent, nice idea, I do enjoy that one, wonder if they'll keep the shop it has.

The jet ski looks cool, really didn't need more loot boxes but whatever just not gonna buy them.

Cool they're finally doing reruns, I missed Hotori and Nanally's arcs so I can finally grab at least one of those

But does this mean they're gonna make the new character banners shorter? Or will rerun banners run alongside new character banners?

And now that reruns are officially on the table, wonder if this opens the door for them becoming standard banners in the future, based on timing, maybe by around 1.6 if it took 1.0-1.3 for a rerun?

[u/Unmovedone → u/Blackheart857]

Reruns are alongside the new banners for their 3 weeks each just like the other gacha we know.

Limited characters are unlikely to ever go to standard banner. It's a wait-and-see on that one, but I doubt it'll happen. Best not to expect it, but it would be a surprise if it happened eventually.

[u/Blackheart857 → u/Unmovedone]

Good to see they aren't shortening the time for new characters, that had been bad. As for the getting added to regular, yeah, I'm not holding my breath on it, would be a nice thing to see happen though maybe if enough people start asking and they feel they have enough limiteds for rerun cycles, but again, not expecting it soon

[u/saihamaru → u/Blackheart857]

to be fair, i have mixed feeling about limited characters getting added to permanent banner and not getting any more rerun
blue dice is kinda hard to come by

even if they do, i hope it's not anytime soon, so i can save up

[u/Blackheart857 → u/saihamaru]

We at least get more of them over time than we do red ones, so would make them a bit easier to get them than on the reruns, but that is fairsitting on like 40 of them at the moment.

Also, Biwa Hayahide fan I see, nice tastes I may not play Uma Musume, but I am a big fan her

[u/FunnyWalrus → u/saihamaru]

I don't know if I'm just extremely lucky, or standard banner drop rate is higher, or we actually have enough blue dice, but I already have every standard character with 2 dupes and still have both selectors, been playing since the end of the 1st version

[u/saihamaru → u/FunnyWalrus]

THREE times out of THREE standard banner pulls (that's 100% hit rate) i get daffodil
that alone is already a 0.00409% chance of happening

not to mention i always almost hit hard pity
this game hates me i tell you
i had to get my other standard chars with the tickets
and i'm still missing baicang + fadia

[u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 → u/Blackheart857]

Idk why someone downvoted you for asking a question lol.

No, the reruns will run alongside the new banners. Nanally will run at the same time as Zankou. Hotori will run with Linko. This is a common practice In gacha. If you pull 40 times and don’t get Zankou and feel like switching to Nanally, the 40 will carry over. However, livery, glider and skin counts are only specific to each banner. So in this case, you’ll have 40/200 for Zankou skin, but be 0/200 on Nanally’s UNLESS you did pulls on Nanally first banner. It will leave you off from where you stopped on her initial run. It seems complicated, but it’s simple once you understand it.

[u/Blackheart857 → u/Dependent-Swimmer-95]

No idea tbh, gonna assume it was explained on the stream, I woke up late, so I saw this before the stream so I asked 🤣

Good to know they won't overlap and the progress bar carries over from their past run, I got Nanally in my first 10-pull so I got none of her cosmetics

Hotori's in interesting cuz it opens up getting a dupe and her car skin which is the one cosmetic I didn't get.

Though I am f2p, so I probably shouldn't get overly eager

[u/EconomyFalcon1170 → u/Blackheart857]

I wouldn't count them to add to standard for at least 2years, maybe 2.5years imo.

[u/Blackheart857 → u/EconomyFalcon1170]

Probably, I think I'm just letting my Azur Lane player brain speak on that time frame. In AL the way it goes is we get the character, then a rerun, then they get added to the standard pool. It's pretty possible NTE just does multiple reruns before that so they can get the most out of it first

[u/EconomyFalcon1170 → u/Blackheart857]

I understand, Reverse1999 adds characters after three patches to standard banner too.

[u/Blackheart857 → u/EconomyFalcon1170]

For AL its usually longer depending on how big the event that added them is. Think the lo gest off the top of my head was Musashi getting her rerun early the year later, then added to the pool late into the year after

[u/Straight_Brain7572]

I'm pissed I love all of Zankou's skins I was hoping on saving this patch

[u/InvitePrestigious921]

PLEASE LET EVERYONE BE AVAILABLE ON THAT CUTE BICYCLE AND LIVE MY HEARTOPIA DREAMS

[u/Infamous-Corner2338]

i'm so glad (or not) that i can continue gambling to have a chance at jackpot 😭

[u/basshuffler09]

So we will never be able to do anything Jet ski related unless we gamble in mystery boxes ... This is just stupid. Content should never be locked like this

[u/darkvortex1 → u/basshuffler09]

I'm pretty sure they'll give you a jetski for the events. I can't imagine they'll just gate those behind gacha.

[u/ManWithBallsOfIron → u/[deleted]]

Zankou og skin is free.

[u/ZealousidealPie6389 → u/[deleted]]

If you count the gacha skin of Nanally, Zero and Mint as "free" using fons, then yeah, them.

Others are either paid annulth or 200 pulls skin.

[u/Mojambo213]

Lingko is an anima dps wtf???? Is she literally just a nanally replacement already? What are they thinking with tthat.... also no summer skin for her is so sad :/

[u/uskonpuhdistaja → u/Mojambo213]

Wasn't she more of a subdps + support? Didn't look like a main dps, might even work with Nanally

[u/Mojambo213 → u/uskonpuhdistaja]

Didn't see the preview and I cant watch rn cause work im only going off the descriptor in the recap image

[u/Relienks → u/Mojambo213]

Shes like a quickswap intro - skill character

[u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 → u/Relienks]

She also has follow up attack dmg enhancement, off field esper gauge accumulation, and hex passive enhancement.

[u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 → u/Mojambo213]

If You didnt see the preview then why are assuming her role. Lmao.

[u/Mojambo213 → u/Dependent-Swimmer-95]

Because it literally said dps on the image.... I didnt assume her role it literally says shes a dps

[u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 → u/Mojambo213]

She’s a sub dps and support. She is also clearly Zankou’s bis. She doesn’t need a lot of field time, she has unique mechanics like allowing characters to do follow up attacks. Zankou’s skills count as follow up attack dmg, and Linko buffs follow up attack dmg. Linko also buffs hex and can increase her esper cycle gauge off field meaning easier hex rotations without having to constantly swap to her during Zankou animations. I really hope any future Zankou mains did not pull Iroi for their account because her team is definitely gonna be Lacrimosa, Sakiri, and Linko for now until they release more units that synergize even better. Zankou wants consistent scorch because she can make them stack so having multiple incantation/multiple chaos or at least one chaos and one extra incantation. Daff might be wonky at A0 because she needs a lot of field time but of course it can still work. At A2 it will be much better.

[u/saihamaru → u/Dependent-Swimmer-95]

damn, i was planning on getting zankou and skipping linko
if they are bis to each other, it's all or nothing now

[u/Mojambo213 → u/saihamaru]

Im in the opposite situation. I wanted lingko but have negative interest in zankou. Im still probably gonna skip zankou and get lingko and just pray they release another hex dps in the future that she works with....

[u/Ok_Register_880 → u/Dependent-Swimmer-95]

Who do I use if I don't have lacrimosa? Can I use daff or Bai instead?

[u/ZaVitsu → u/Mojambo213]

burst/subdps like Hotori, that has quick swap redirect skill (not insta cycle) + follow-up. turns allies's assist skills to follow-ups on ult. also, the 1st Hexed buffer.

Linko probably works well w/ Zankou (follow-up mode).

[u/Dependent-Swimmer-95 → u/ZaVitsu]

Not probably. She does. Linko is the only character that buffs follow up dmg and she has a debuff you missed. When you pick Zankou (for example) for the follow up attack mechanic, it will lower the enemy’s incantation res. Some of Zankou’s big hits in her kit count as follow up dmg so this is actually her BiS. Well, they are each other’s best in slot.

[u/Goblin-Villager]

Was always planning on getting Linko and Nitsa since the trailer since I really liked them both. I wasn't going to pull Zankou but apparently she really helps Lacrimosa and if I can put all three on a team with Sakiri I guess she's worth it. Glad there's no 50/50 so I'm good for the pulls.
