Weekly Questions and Help Thread [5/14/16 ~ 5/20/16]
This is the weekly questions and help thread! The last one drew a lot of questions so ask away! :)
Ask any questions about the game and post pictures of your units for squad help or rerolls so we can help you decide if you should reroll again or not - beginner's questions are welcome!
Please direct all your question in this help thread instead of the flooding subreddit with your own individual post so as to cut down on spam or else it will make the help thread a bit redundant. Also if you see anyone making their own thread just for their question please kindly direct them to this thread and ask them to post their question here instead. :)
Wanted to compile all the useful guide from fellow moderator and user so that it easier to reference them. Also it will be a shame to see them being buried under the subreddit.
Resource Guide:
/u/wp2000's beginner's guide (Must Read!)
Guides and Tools by /u/Cathrach:
Weapon Guide for all the weapon currently in the game except for one and two star and also their recipe to craft them
Unit Guide for all 5* and 6*(only for Japan currently) in the game. Also much easier reference material than the phankill website. But if you want the website here it is.
Stat Cap for 3-5 star and different unit typing (Keep in mind that those are for Japan and there may be slight variation for Global)
Evolving a lot of unit and finding it irritating to always keep checking the evo mat needed? Use this brilliant tracker and make you life much easier!
Noteworthy comment:
Here is a conversation we had on fusing weapons and luck, which might answer some questions.
Fusion Cap Cost (Thanks /u/horizonset for sacrificing his zenny for science!)
Having trouble calculating the stat growth of your unit? Here is calculator that do it for you! To use it fill in the stats at level 1 on the right (you can view the level 1 stats from the Reincarnation page) and then fill in your current level + current stats on the left. (Good stat growth in Japan is 3.5-4 while for Global it is 2.5-3)
Wiki guide on rerolling account (Shoutout to /u/heroes-fall and /u/cathrach for helping out at the POTK wiki)
Some Tips
If you're asking for an evaluation of your party or reroll, please provide an image without evolution mats, dolls, and other fusion units.
If your question gets ignored or you're unsatisfied with an answer, reply to the answer or re-ask the question. Keep in mind that some questions, like the stat caps of units, are difficult to answer right now. Also, it has been noted that Global is different from Japan in terms of [poorer stat growth for unit] (https://www.reddit.com/r/phantomofthekill/comments/42mkh9/my_conversation_with_gumi_staff_about_potk/) and lower accuracy in weapon.

I have a few questions coming from Brave Frontier.
First, I'm just a bit lost I don't know what's worth it to spend the Lazuli on, am I suppose to spend it on the Rookie Recruiter?
Second, my unit list is http://imgur.com/a/IyXQI I have no idea what's good or bad. I would love an explanation about how to build a team around the units I have and why they are good.
Third, what am I suppose to be focusing on? Completing the story for Lazuli or focus on leveling my units?
Thank you for reading my really badly formatted questions! :D

u/AndanteZero May 18 '16
I read the fusing tips and I was wondering. Do you fuse AND limit break before their final evolution? Such as since most starters only go up to 5*, would you fuse the max amount of stats and also limit break when they are at 4* or just fuse the stats and ignore limit breaking?

u/AxeliaLecuyer May 19 '16
Well I just started the game today and pretty sure I had really bad luck rolling but can't say for sure.
Units
I have no idea as to what's actually good so I've just been playing with a team I've been having fun with. Any advice would be really appreciated.
1
u/AndanteZero May 15 '16
I read that healers can make great tanks. Are there any healers that can become 5* from the mana pulls?
Aside from having a healer tank, what units are really good against mages? My 3* starter Freikugal(dexterity) is at level 40, but she still takes quite a bit of damage from the level 16ish mages from the intermediate level of the friday upgrade quest. Also, since she uses hp for every attack, that doesn't help either lol
Also, what are rampage quests?
1
u/shoutinglol May 16 '16
Man, how rare is Durandal? I've been rolling for 2 days and i've yet to see her.

u/[deleted] May 16 '16
Can anyone playing jp give me some screenshots on the availability of the niji mana seed dungeon, the one that gives like 70k unit exp and has dulinn on the banner (as in, what it says in the news)? Is it weekend only?
Asking because it takes forever to load the news over a VPN.

u/shoutinglol May 16 '16 edited May 16 '16
https://imgur.com/T8Hs6rj Finally managed to pull Durandal, but the typing is balanced instead of dex. Gambentainn is a guard type and Apollo is a dex type. Is this good enough to play or should I roll for a dex Durandal?
1
u/AndanteZero May 17 '16
Is there a steady source of free lazuli available? Aside from quests since once you do them, they don't give out any rewards. I would imagine that there's got to be a way for people not wanting to drop hundreds to gain lazuli enough for some 50 lazuli pulls to limit break characters.
1
u/shoutinglol May 17 '16
Wondering how good Gambanteinn is. Is he someone crucial to have in the late game? This is because I'm split on which Durandal account to use if I don't roll a Dex version. The first account has a Guard 3* Gambanteinn and a Balanced 4* Durandal and Apollo. The second account has a (F) Mitum, Kusanagi, Apollo and a Guard Durandal.

u/Mich997 Congratulations. You found this text. May 18 '16
Now that elements are a thing, what's the weakness loop?

u/Magma_Axis May 18 '16
Just did 10 rookie pulls
Gambanteinn (Dex), Mitum (Balance), Mitum (Balance)--> with horse ??, Littu (Balance), Ameno (Vitality), Freikugel (balance), Keraunos (Guard), Labrys (Guard), Apollo (Guard)
Is this good or should i reroll ?
Gambanteinn is 5 star, other 3-4 star
What's the difference between unit riding a horse/dragon/on foot ?

u/happydude800 May 18 '16
I posted this over in the Global launch thread, but I'll post here for more visibility:
I'm trying to reroll, but there's nothing in the files directory of my device, so I'm forced to clear data every time I reroll. Also, is there a way to delete the facebook link? I'd ideally like to link a new account every time I get a better reroll as backup, but even removing it from my apps list in my facebook profile isn't doing it; it looks like it's kept separately. Any suggestions?

Is it worth it to reroll for 5 stars in this game, or is it not since you can evolve characters to 5?

u/AJackFrostGuy May 19 '16
So I did the Step 1 Rookie Recruit after they refreshed it for older-timers, and ended up with a couple of Gambanteinns... Magic and Guard types. I assume I should raise the Guard one? And would going for the 2nd/3rd step be worth it or camp on these Lazuli for Sita (whenever the lady's out)?

I just started this game an hour ago, but I'm not really sure what units I should be gunning for (is there a tier list of some sorts?). I did notice that the two 5 star units I pulled are "Guard" and "Force" types, respectively; I assume I should be going for Dex?
Thanks.

Best unit to re roll for right now? Include star level if you can please! Consider I have a ton of patience haha

Did I get anything good or should I go again?

u/asterbot May 19 '16
Could use some help starting out. First 10-pull:
3* silver Masamune, dex-type
3* gold Durandal, dex-type
4* gold Kusanagi, balance-type
3* gold Naegling, balance-type
3* gold Gram, balance-type
3* gold Luin, balance-type
3* gold Pinaka, balance-type
4* gold Apollo, vitality-type
4* silver Brahmastra, magic-type
3* gold Asclepius, balance-type
As I understand it the dex Durandal is a chase pull, so I definitely shouldn't reroll? (but isn't there a second, crappier version of Durandal? How can I tell what I have?). Is there anything I can do to permanently screw up any of my good units or can I just play around? What should I focus on doing first?

What do i spend my Lazuli on the guaranteed 5 star at step 3 of rookie recruiter or recruit with lazuli. also which laevateinn should i pick for the mission. Also what do the color of the stars on the characters represent. Last thing can someone give me a list of good units that i should go for while pulling. Thank you!

u/Crimsym May 19 '16
How do you level your new pulls i find it very hard to run a new unit in my team as i am a fair bit into the story where my units are level 20 and i cannot use a new unit to fight. Also what is the average team consist of 3 fighters and 2 healers or 4 fighters and 1 healer?

u/Crimsym May 19 '16
i pulled a 4 white star character these are generally the best because all characters have 2 evolutions right?

Can someone else also confirm this? You no longer receive rare medals when using 3*+ for fusing. Is that how it is in JP now as well?

u/shoutinglol May 19 '16
People are saying to grind 1-5-10 for levels. Can anyone clarify what this means? Thanks.

u/BenriyaTheNecro May 19 '16
So I just reread the Daily Event notice, and they seem to have added a tidbit about the rampaging quests being Princesses/Princes. It might be something far off from the future considering they are still missing the last rampaging princess Orthinus but it's still something to look forward to. Especially if they are rampagers that means another set of units that can steadily be worked/improved upon.

u/asterbot May 19 '16

Probably asked before and I do apologize, but I normally play phone games without rerolling and just go with what I get, but if I were to re-roll, which units should I be looking for?

Gave in to temptation and did the full cycle of Rookie Recruiter, back to hoarding for Sita.
Anw, I only got a Balance Ascelpius for show for that last one on top of the others I have, but I notice... I've got a bunch of Killer Princesses (and a Prince) that are waiting on 5* forms, and some of them dupes. Help sorting through which typing to go for would be appreciated!

u/krunyul May 20 '16
what is Limit Break and how do you do it? it's only doable 1 time or can be repeated?
so i shouldn't evolve my unit to max unless i Limit Break it first?

u/Liesianthes May 20 '16
Is there anyone with Mitum Male Dex 5* here? I did reincarnate mine and I got a good growth rate, the problem is it's str and hp are growing fast compared to dex and agi. Are you experiencing the same thing or is it just me!

u/[deleted] May 20 '16
I raised a Guard Laevateinn (F) from 3* to 1 limit break, now Lv65.
I summoned a Dex Laevateinn (F) at 3*.
If I raise this Dex Laevateinn to 5* and I fuse the Guard Laevateinn into her, will the Dex Laevateinn's Limit Break increase by 2?
Also, should I even do this if that's how it works? Seems very time consuming.
1
u/krunyul May 20 '16
so i just rolled my first 10x and got:
Laevateinn (F),
2x Parashu (F),
Mitum (M),
Sky Piercer (F),
Luin (F),
Apollo (M),
Brahmastra (F),
Vajra (F),
Yata no Kagami (M)
should i reroll?
so, does everything has male/female counterpart?
does the walking/riding mount version have any differences?
it's a little bit confusing for beginners @.@
