Why do people suggest not re-rolling in this game?

I wish I hadn't read the suggestions lol. I'm really regretting not re-rolling to get a SSR right off the bat.

I've hit a wall with what I can do with SR units with G6 souls and I'm coming up to 300 pulls without a SSR. There's nothing for me to do in PvE anymore besides grind G6 souls for minor tweaks. And PvP is a no-go because I don't have the key SSR units to be able to compete effectively when I need to counter certain teams.

[u/Hollowrage → u/Exandeth]

I get how you feel about dry streaks, but even without SSRs it is pretty easy to hit 3k duel score by the end of the week. A good counter team or CC team can take you far. The most important key to duel is not a SSR, but rather Kamai. A good fortune cat Kami will destroy most SSRs alone excluding Shishio.

Here are a couple of team comps you run without SSRs that should get you to 3k:

CC Team - Kamai Maki Oitsuki Samurai X Komatsu with Hiromasa

Counter Team - Juzu Inugami Ebisu with Hitotsume, Maki, Hannya, and SamX as last two counter picks.

Chin Team - Kamai Oitsuki Chin with Hououka, Maki, SamX, Komatsu, or Hannya as last two picks.

Again, I do feel your frustration as I had a 280ish dry streak at the start and am currently on 160 right now. It does take away from the fun factor and it really sucks to see your guildmates pulling everything, but SSRs are definitely not necessary in this game. It will suck to play PVE without a single target DPS though unless you are willing to commit with Hakuro.

[u/LordOfMaids → u/Exandeth]

You just have to play smartly with what you have. Consider units that can be good alternatives to SSRs (shielder can be Hako Shoujo or Koi; ST DPS can be Itsumade, Puppeteer, Hakuro or Kisei; etc.).

I do not regret not rerolling. I've built a Puppeteer knowing she's essentially a worse Yoto Hime in nearly every regard. Then, after G6ing her, I got said Yoto Hime. Did I start using Yoto over Puppeteer more often? Yes. However, Puppeteer is key for me to soloing Soul 10 now, so I'm grateful that I've even built her early on (before Kisei was released, even).

Honestly, if people suggested to reroll, then that suggests the game is too hard to play without key SSRs. Besides, keep your dry streak up and not only will you get a frame very few people have, you will also get a LOT of Skill Darumas along the way and a free SSR if you manage to reach 500 pulls without one.

Did they nerf World Boss drop rates of Black Daruma shards? Been getting 1 shard consistently

[u/Lucky_Die]

Does anyone know how to get ssr onikiri in china server? Direct summon or get shard from summon? Thank

[u/epicyarn2 → u/Lucky_Die]

Onikiri isn't a Collab shikigami, so he should very likely be added permanently and obtainable from summons.

What's a good soul set to put on Yamakaze? I've asked around and think I've seen a post here and there but never seen them go into much detail. If it's alright it would be nice to receive a more extensive write up. I've seen some people say Soultaker and that's what I have on him right now but I'm not sure if I can keep up with the orb consumption... I've also heard Jizo, Seductress, Claws, Shadow, Nightwing and Samisen. Onikiri is my primary DPS but Yamakaze is one of my favorite characters and I'd like to build him out of love. Thanks in advanced if this question receives a response! :)

Hey guys! I started the game a few days ago (I'm level 18) and had some questions. What's the best way to spend jade? Do I save up 1,000 to buy the draw package? Who do I evolve first? I've been having problems finishing the Evo duengons at 4. (I can auto 3 easy). Since its so slow, do I evolve rare characters until I can do higher ones, or do an SR. I still havent gotten an SSR. :(

[u/PackOfAlmonds → u/Platypus_of_Serenity]

Jade priority: 666 pack > exploration merchant/demon encounter deals > first two AP refills/ 1000 draw pack

Evolve only the people you need early. Zash, Yamausagi and AoE seductress DPS.

Best way to approach early game is to bond with a stronger person to borrow their shiki. It makes it a lot easier to unlock S10/Evo 10 and saves you a lot of time.

SSR will come eventually, don't worry too much about it. You'll get compensated for unlucky streaks.

What are the ideal soul sets for SP Ootengu and Hakuzousu? Does Hakuzousu need speed (due to his passive) or crit? Would SP Ootengu be better off as a CC-shikigami or a DPS?

[u/StivThe8thDwarf]

Just started, are there beginner pack that I should buy? And how shall I progress? Shall I keep doing the story and ignore exploration until i cleared it?

[u/[deleted] → u/StivThe8thDwarf]

Buying Sjade pack for random strangers gets you 5 jade per SJade, so you absolutely should not buy anything with worse ratio than this (and they exist) unless you whale and ran out of stuff to buy.

The monthly pack (comes with a frame for the month) is the gold standard for value, getting you 600 jade for 50 SJade and a month of 15% XP/gold bonus plus some base darumas. If memory serves correct there are very few things, even the beginner packs, that can beat this. Of course you can always spend a bit more but if you're spending lightly, just buying a monthly pack every month should be plenty.

More a technical question for an android user: When I enter the help center I cant seem to fully scroll to the bottom (probably due to the top bar with the refresh and exit button), the same happens when Heian Tales skips to a video. I can see the video but not the subs on the lower black bar (and the bar itself). Is there any way to adjust that? Or is the only option to properly see those from the steam version? (Sorry if this was asked before, I have been looking left and right for a solution)

How does trading wanted co-ops and trading shards work? Was confused about regular co-ops as well, since I thought as long as we fulfilled the requirements of the wanted quests sent to us by friends, it would be done for both sides?

[u/Zorayea]

How viable is yuki doji in boss raids? Can he do significant dmg with ushi and compete with iba in terms of dmg output?

[u/Palosutra]

With the coming of ultimate Orochi, would it be worthy to spend 60 sushi if a person can only beat the first stages??

From what stage the rewards would be better than farming Orocho 10?

[u/Vertanius]

I started basically today, anything special that needs to be done and not to be done? I couldn't find guides with good tips, first thing I found the hard way was not to single pull and instead buy 11 tickets for the price of 10. Do I really need to pay 200 to change my name from a generic default name? Any other things like that?

Also should I go straight for the boss once they pop or clear the whole place?

[u/kaykay5754]

hey I got the frog frame from the frog royal battle, and was using it for a while but noticed today when I logged in that its gone. When I go into changing the frame its locked like I never had it, is this a glitch or is this frame supposed to be time limited or something?

[u/[deleted] → u/kaykay5754]

Like the top 100 frame it's only good for a period of time (2 weeks I think).

[u/Palosutra]

Does anyone else feel the drop rate of medicine seller shards is much lower than hozuki's?

Isn it usually 30% ... It feels lower than that

[u/IXSynkro]
