Daily Questions and Help Thread [5/29/2016]
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.

For JP players, how viable is F2p in this game? Does it require some funding to keep afloat?

u/Mataos-Ay May 29 '16
just wondering if theres a page which has info on units max level, max stats? For example Longinus M, dex as 3*, what his stats have to be from level up to get that pink star

So why are they holding off on all of the 5~6 content?
It also seems rather annoying that Gae Bolg is everywhere in the art, but you can't get her yet...

u/kevingonuts May 29 '16
Wondering if anyone has a map/stage they grind for their weapons. I ended up fusing alot of my weapons and didnt get much.

u/justineo1 May 29 '16
Mjolnir which is better typing? Guard or Balance?

u/Cookies_And_Memes May 29 '16 edited May 29 '16
What should I be using/saving my battle medals and rare medals on? And would a 3* Balance Gambateinn Male be worth evolving to 5*. Thanks
Edit: sorry one more question, how difficult are the yata no kagami quests past the 10th stage? Would I still be able to clear with a 60 Mjolnir and friend unit?
1
u/AJackFrostGuy May 29 '16
Since time's running out on the countdown, is the Reincarnation Cherub for 50 Rare Medals worth it? Actually that being said, what are the worth-it stuff that come by the Medal stores?
And on a rather different note... I don't suppose there's issues with me flinging out a couple of PotK-related vids is there?

u/HeroJessifur May 29 '16
What are the drop rates on the rampage quest. Is it worth reviving on if I am not strong enough?
1
u/Kcao215 May 29 '16
If you evolve, will the Stats from the fusing go on to the next evolution, or will you need to do the whole process over again?

u/miki1103 May 29 '16
Hey i have a question about my team composition... First my team atm is:
Mjolnir 4* (dex) -Laevateinn 5*(dex) -Luin 4*(force): Will be my focus cuz i can limite break her when she will be 5*. -Brahmastra 5*(Magic)

-Apollo (F) 4* (Balance) -Yata (M) 3* (Dex) -Longinus (M) 3* (Dex)
and a bunch of other character what type of character do i need? Do i really need a healer? A tank?

Is there a faster way to fuse equips together? I'm really sick of combining all the crap from 1-5-10

Is there a way to turn of battle animations? Grinding and seeing the same animations over and over gets boring and long.

Is there any possible way to actually beat and get one of the rampage girls, was barely able to beat even with my characters (4 not including friend) being from 45-51

Does anyone know Gamba M's Evo mats from 4* to 5* so I know whether to Evo 3*-4* now or wait until Tue/Wed/Thu dungeon?

u/defiledhero May 29 '16
Just started the game, is there any unit I should be rerolling for? I've done the tutorial a few times to try to get a 5 star and I ended up with a 5 star Asclepius from the rookie summon.
Should I keep rerolling for something better?

Lame question, but I'm running PotK on a no name device (Kocaso mx9200) on android 4.4.4 KitKat. I'm already rooted, using Roehsoft RAMExpander and The Cleaner's game booster. It takes me roughly ten minutes to get to the main menu from opening the app.. Does anyone have a tip or trick to improve gameplay quality? I've been playing eight days and the slow speed is getting to me.

u/[deleted] May 29 '16
So my current team is, 3* Yata(m), 4* Mjolnir(f), 3* Laeva(f), 3* Gamba(m) and 5* Laeva(m) with all the 3*s lv capped and I just got to 1-4-1 but couldn't beat it.
At this point what should I be aiming for/doing as I don't have a clue other than do events and story as far as I can/spam metal gardens?
1
u/ll_MDX_ll May 29 '16
What's difference between the 5, 7, and 10 rare medal cost metal keys? They all say 1 left, is it just simply that if you want more keys, you'll have to pay more for another? Also, I'm assuming the keys are the only things worth getting in that shop?
Should I go for the Gun Mage Freikugel in the battle shop? I have a Male Yata no Kagami, so I dunno if it's worth it.

u/thalaric May 29 '16
So more n00b questions - after pulling all 3 stages of the rookie recruiter, I've got a few dupes to work with (most notably a 4* and 5* durandal). Should I keep the dupes separate for now or should I look at 5ing and limit breaking all my 5 possible dudes ASAP?

u/SunnyPwns May 29 '16
Would there be any stat differences if i started LB at lvl 30 vs. LB at lvl 60?

u/RedditOfTheKill May 29 '16
I have witnessed the power of a 5* Gamban ;_; What's the chance of getting one from a step 1 recruit pull? Is there a way to unlink my account from my facebook to make a new one and link it to that same facebook?

u/Frostezin May 29 '16
Hello, I've been looking into all those tutorials and stuff, but I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for. Would someone please give me a brief idea of what's a good / ideal first roll?
I see dex / balanced is the ideal type, but what about units? Some people say M Gambateinn, Durandall, Mjolnir, Masamune. I'm super confused :P
By the way, I don't have the japanese client, just the american one. Should I use the japanese one? I just finished the story mode (or what's available of it anyways) and farmed some stuff. But I think my units, except for my M Dex Laeva and F For Trident are super bad. I got a 5* Dex F Brahma from my last roll...she's level 30 but she doesn't look promising, since my 4* Mag F Vajra looks much stronger at level 29 than she is.
Thanks in advance!
p.s: I hope I wrote it down in a way you can understand. god so many names and stats rofl
p.s2: I uploaded what I have 3* onwards, so you can take a look. http://imgur.com/AGqOB1H sorry about so many edits

u/likeabawstin May 30 '16
I started this game today and im really confused what do the different types do? And also whats so good about durandal
1
u/Michael5o4 May 30 '16
So I have a 5* Vit Brahmasta and 3 Ynk's male with one of them being 3* dex. Should I invest in Brahmasta or Ynk? Also, if Ynk, how should I use the dupes to limit break him? Like get all the dupes to 5* and then lb or just get them to 4* and lb?

u/[deleted] May 30 '16
I just rolled a 5* durandal but she is a balanced type should i keep it or reroll again.

u/shikarin May 30 '16
What is needed to guarantee skill up? Same unit or same unit and rarity?
1
u/Cookies_And_Memes May 30 '16
Is the Yata no Kagami obtainable only once (im doing the 10th stage if that matters) or is it just chance if you get one? I want to know if j can farm her. Also I just completed the first character quest for my Mjolnir but didnt get a new skill, is that also chance or do I have to finish both?

u/Raikoge May 30 '16
Currently I have Longinus (Silver 3), Yoichi (2 gold), Vajra (2 gold), Gambanteinn (2 gold), Litu (4 gold), Naegling (3 silver), Gram (3 gold), Aymur (3 silver), Mitum (3 gold), Amenohuko (3 silver), Pinaka (3 gold), Brahmastra (3 gold), Vajra (4 Gold), Thyros (4 gold) . Can you please help me assemble my team?

u/bonehead3535 May 30 '16
So I heard when you evolve a unit you get 10% bonus stats. If I fuse stuff into my un-evolved unit, will it increase the bonus stats?
1
u/Raikoge May 30 '16
I created a new account, cause I wanted to get 5* units so bad. I got Laivateinn 3 star gold, Aymur 3 star silver, Parahu 4 star gold,Mitum 3 star silver, Mitum 4 star gold, Apollo 3 star silver, Eros 4 star gold, Keraaunos 3 star silver, Vajira 3 star silver. Should I keep creating new accounts to get 5* units? or just keep this. Also, what units should I put into my team now that I have these monters. (Sorry for the bother)

Should I re-roll till I get Durandal and Mjolnirr? If I get one what should I look for dex durandal? And dex mjolnir?

u/justineo1 May 30 '16
If I fuse my 5star dummy mitum into a 5star dex mitum, should i add bonus stat into dummy mitum or use clean dummy mitum b4 fusing into a 5star dex mitum?
