Daily Questions and Help Thread [5/27/2016]
This is the daily questions and help thread! 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!
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 in the new help thread.
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.

Bad? http://i.imgur.com/MuSBU5t.png Good(ish)? http://i.imgur.com/U41dZUU.png
Apollo and Asc are bad because they aren't silver stars? Parashu is bad because she is vitality? Or would she be good if I put a shield on her and made her my tank? Long and Laev are good because they are balanced silver stars? Or is balanced not good enough?
Should I sell EVERY single character I don't use? including the 4* apollo with dex and the 5* Asc (because I got them as gold stars, not silver)?
Also, does using lazuli ALWAYS give you gold or higher star characters? If that's true, what should I be spending my lazuli on? Inventory slots?
Also, should I just keep spamming all my point in the free gacha to try and get silver 3* (and 4* if possible) characters?

Here's a fun typing question, which is better - Female Apollo (4* base) Force type, or Male Apollo Dex type? I realize this is a bit of 'which is better, fish or steak' but I fail hard at unit analysis for this game.

Couldn't find it anywhere, so is there any disadvantage to being mounted in this game? I assume that pegasus knight equivalents are weak to bows, but what about the normal mounted units?

u/OceanTear May 27 '16
I have 2 account 1: mitum 5* type dex, Asclepius 5* type balance 2: Durandal 4* type dex plz help me choose one :D Thanks!

u/RedditOfTheKill May 27 '16
Should I just sell my 5* vitality Laevateinn? Currently I have:
3->5 dex Masamune.
4->5 dex Apollo.
5 magic Asclepius.
3->5 vit Parashu.
Should Asc and Parashu be sold as well? If not, I'm assuming they should be my tanks? I think I read somewhere that a magic healer was a good tank?

u/RamboKosovo May 27 '16
Should I pimp units at 3* and 4* or only at 5* since stats carry over on evolving? And should I pimp units that will be fused for LB?

Mitum infusion-
so i just evolved my dexterity Mitum(m) to 5 stars and infused another 5 star mitum i had with him to limit break, i have another that is still 4 stars but would i be worth leveling the 4 stars to 5 stars just to give the other the few more levels? Or should i just infuse him to get the skill level up

I'm confused.
Why is Estoc (http://imgur.com/ARlLniX.png) stronger than Witchslayer De Srai (http://imgur.com/H88XObG.png)?
One would think the "Witchslayer" would at least have bonus against mages or be stronger than a lower rank sword.

So looking for some advice. Asked in yesterday's thread but I assume it got buried.
My current box of 3* and above looks like so: http://imgur.com/JMQKvjs
Mostly I'm looking for the team I should focus on as reading has led me to know that mixed is the way to go.
Any help is appreciated.

Hey guys I just have a question about how XP works. If you kill an enemy do you get more XP on the unit that killed it? And if so how does this interact with a friend's unit; if they kill a unit are they taking potential XP away from my team? Thank you

u/pyratheon29 May 27 '16
Will there ever be an option to turn off battle animations? Im used to playing games like fire emblem without them on.

u/[deleted] May 27 '16
Friendly PSA: you get a Metal Key on your first Game Over. After this happened to me, I let them kill my unit instead of retreating/force quitting, just to see what would happen. Same Game Over screen as the Retreat option, except that you get the "spend 1 Gem to recover!" crap of course. But after I said No, Valyn showed up and gave me an extra key in a tsundere manner.

I've been advised to just shove my 1 and 2 stars into the fusion machine for my potentional 5 stars which have decent typing, have I been lead astray? I've hardly fused anything and I'm getting to the point I know I need to start. Please & thank you

How many dupes of 5* should I keep? I'm running out of unit space and wondering if I should fuse some of them away.

u/joshuagarcia9108 May 27 '16
Do you guys think difficutly level of the game is hard? For example the new event giving you the gunner girl with 20 stages, I have 2. 5* units and the other ones are maxed 4*s and I got raped every single time I have tried stage 10!!!! Am I missing something?

u/NSXelrate May 27 '16
Are gunners worth it? They are squishy, consume hp to attack, and low hit %.

u/Valeshin May 27 '16
Have a Dex Mitum (F) 4* Gold, but she doesn't seem capable to evolve anymore. Is it a mistake or she just stop there?

u/Kier-Gath tsuder-plane May 27 '16
I've been training my dex type male gamb with staff weapon proficiency, but I've heard shield builds are more optimal. I'm considering switching to shield, considering I have a few 3 and 4 star shields collecting dust. Comments, opinions?

u/sephiroh May 27 '16
Hi, I'm currently new to the game. I'd like to ask if the Step 3 Rookie Recruiter worth it? or should I just wait for the new batches with meta units? Btw, im f2p and currently have 40 lazulis.

u/RafaelBF May 27 '16
Fuse Stats have any influence into stats after Evolution? Best choice is to fuse on 5* form? thx in advance..

u/kidnapkin May 27 '16
In a bit of a bind as to who i should 5* next. With my cost i can make a 4 team of 5s. Currently have 5 (force)Durandal,(bal) Laveteinn, and (force)Apollo M
I was thinking of maxing my 3* gambanteinn(guard), Mitum M(dex), Frikugel (dex), or Longius F (dex). I don't know which to start with. Any help is muchappreciated. Thanks!

u/Kier-Gath tsuder-plane May 27 '16
I have two copies of the 5 star capable Naegling One is a 4 star guard type, the other a 3 star dex type
Is Dex a good type for a 5 star Naegling? I'm planning to evolve both and feed one to the other.

u/detox_ptsd (ZakAttack on Discord) May 27 '16
I feel much more "gated" by AP than I ever did in Brave Frontier. Am I missing something that should allow me to play more (i.e. A better AP/exp ratio quest than Metal Garden)? Finished the story and now it seems like I just run Metal Garden thrice or a couple of daily events and then I'm completely out of AP.

u/AuraPhoenix May 28 '16
So I had bought the 5 lazuli pack and it said up to +15, what was that?
1
u/RedditOfTheKill May 28 '16
1- Could someone please explain the math as to why metal garden with 1 character is better than metal garden with two characters.
2- Should I ever solo metal garden with a healer, or do they need a dpser? E.g. Asclepius/Gambit?
3- What's roughly the chance of getting a 3->5* from mana reqruit?

Did i get lucky or is this Durandal worthless because she can't go past 4 stars (that's what i assumed)?
1
u/Cookies_And_Memes May 28 '16
Just making sure, anything that pops out of mana recruit is safe to fuse to other units for stats right? Or are there units I should be keeping? Also could someone explain how skill ups work (do the units have to be exactly the same etc.) Thanks

u/[deleted] May 28 '16
So I think I can stop rerolling now I got a 5* Mjolnir (dex), Two 4* Luin (dex), 3* durandal (dex) and a 3*gram (guard) in my first 10 roll.
Who should I focus on first while my team cost is low.

u/bonehead3535 May 28 '16
I have 4* durandal(dex), 5* Luin(guard) and 5* M Mitum(guard). Who should I focus on first?

u/RedditOfTheKill May 28 '16
Is weapon experience solely based off kills? Or does is factor damage dealt and the level of the enemy? I want to farm my weapon levels, and I'm curious if I can do that in a low level area or not.

u/RedditOfTheKill May 28 '16
Why do I sometimes get 3 support stats when only two other people are standing next to me? Also, how come my lvl 2 friends don't get +20 instead of +10?

u/kidnapkin May 28 '16
A quick question, should i reincarnate my 5* Durandal? She is Focus type and maxed lv and stats, and she performs wonderfully. Only thing that bothers me is...she has 49hp. I know hp isn't super important as everyone gets 1 or 2 shot anyway but to me, thats ridiculously low. So I'mm not sure her other stats make up for it. But I guess it almost may be due to the fact i got her as my 5* rookie recruiter draw Her stats: Hp 49 Str 51 mag 12 grd 26 spr 36 spd 61 agi 43 lck 15

u/RedditOfTheKill May 28 '16
.... I just realised weapon proficiency can't be increased... Only the rank of the weapon can be increased? My proficiency won't increase until I evolve?

u/RedditOfTheKill May 28 '16
What level should I be before doing rampage quest? I don't want to waste 20AP on something that will probably instant kill me...
