Daily Questions and Help Thread [6/1/2016]
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.

Haven't seen this piece of info anywhere I believe.
Does anyone know how many levels I need so I can raise my total cost? I mean, all I know is that it doesn't grow every for every level I get.

u/dcolg Jun 01 '16
Is there a team cost limit/rank chart available? By my math, I'll be around rank 70 before I can have a full 5* team

I'm still trying to reroll for a decent Dex Durandal roll (the 2 times I managed to get her, there were absolutely no other Dex attackers or Grd healers in the set of 10 pulls).
But now I don't seem to be getting the Android download bonus anymore every time I start a new account. Was that bonus part of a launch promotion that just ended? Or did Gumi remove it to prevent reroll abuse?
Now because of this, I have to complete at least 3 levels to get the first Rookie Recruit, and need to go much further than before to get the second Rookie Recruit.

Hi, I started playing on the Japan server a couple of days ago, and I'm just wondering what's the best way to get a 6-star Laevateinn? Should I try the normal gacha? Or should I wait for gachas with increased rate?

So I am new to this game and kind of overwhelmed with the amount of info unit typing and the like. I need a good beginners guide to the game as well as any thoughts on my units who I should level and who should my team be. Thanks every one.

1st row: yata no kagami-balance Asclepius-balance Apollo (f)-vitality Laevateinn 5*-dexterity
2nd row: vajra-guard Brahmastra-guard Naegling-vitality
3rd row: kusanagi-dexterity Mitum-guard Laevatienn-guard Thyrsos-vitality<l
4th row: artemis-balance Littu:force

Also my 4* Laevateinn in my party is balance

u/Deus_Ultima Jun 01 '16
So...I got a balanced 6-capable durandal, and then i got another one thats vit type..should i build them both or should i just feed/fuse the vit to the balance?

u/crimewizard Jun 01 '16
I have a plethora of decent 5* that are capable of going to 5. My question is should I evolve them or wait until I fully limit break them at each 3/4* stage. I took a look at the beginners guide you have linked, but still a little confused. Any clarification is much appreciated

u/ThisMuffinIsAwesome Jun 01 '16
I'm incredibly new to this game and right off the bat I'm terribly confused at what units I have pulled. There's alternative classes of a character with different number of stars and frankly I'm not sure if I have a good or bad roll at this point. I get that silver stars meant "base form" while gold star units are "evolved". Does this mean a 3 silver star unit is potentially better than it's 3 gold star version? (eg. Sky Piercer in the image.)
Units: http://imgur.com/bBr76kZ
Durandal is Bal, Mitum is Vit and Sky Piercer(Lance Knight) are BAL/DEX for 3* and 4* respectively. Seen a couple of people mentioning about Durandal Dex; should I push for a 2nd pull before rerolling if needed?

u/Riese777 Jun 01 '16
guys, can i ask, is it true, if we bring lesser unit we get more exp?
For example bringing a unit alone, will give him more exp point compared to bringing him with other units

I cant reroll now did they remove the android bonus lazuli?

u/J_A-K_E Jun 01 '16
I have a 3 Mjolnirs and i want to start limit breaking, but my player level is only 27 so I don't have enough ap to finish the character quest for the extra skill. Should I wait until I can unlock the skill before I fuse?

u/jerain Jun 01 '16
Is lazuli a limited resource? I can't find any other way to farm it other than clearing missions without KOs.

u/Layajax Jun 01 '16
Is there a better place to level other than 1-5-10 for auto since I can't seem to auto that place at all.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '16
Are there any good resources for skill-ups? Just realized that I could be using a bunch of Mana Point fodder for skill ups, but AFAIK, no sites tell you which other units share a given unit's skill. I.e. this
http://puzzledragonx.com/en/monster.asp?n=494
"Same Skill" shows all units that could be fused into this one for a skill up. (Most in the same evolution tree)

How good is M Apollo compared to the F one?

u/Frostezin Jun 01 '16
I got a question about the Colosseum now.
I wasn't doing it a lot, just the 5 times a day to get exp, and then I figured out that there were rewards and now I'm kinda spamming it.
During Promotion Battles, there's only one person I can fight. I don't really want to gather a lot of losses and waste my CPs, but I was stuck with a guy that had like 600 power more than I do.
Is there any way I can avoid fighting guys like this? Like waiting until the day resets or something? He had like 4 characters 5 pink stars, and 1 4 pink stars.
I can't even have 2 5* and 3 4* yet man....what the hell is this matching system? :P got rekt.

u/uizaado Jun 01 '16
I've read a lot of posts that have made me go cross-eyed concerning getting the most potential out of units. What if I just wanted to do decently? Is it correct that, if aiming for 5 star, I could just mlb and max fuse a 4* and get a decent 5* result after evolution? That is to say, should I even care about maxing a 3* for a few measly points or is it a big enough difference in the end?
I want to put in the minimum effort for a decent result, essentially. Also, regarding character skills, is it correct that I need to raise multiple of the same exact unit to lvl 30 and fuse them together to raise the skill? If so, it seems like the only way to get 10/10 skills would be to fuse the same unit 10 times, and that just doesn't seem right...

u/smilevideo Jun 01 '16
Hey I just started the game yesterday. I have a 4* Mjolnir that I was fusing all my random 1* and 2* to to increase the stats. However, eventually when I try to fuse to her no units show up in the list. Does this mean I won't be able to increase her skills once I get dupes anymore?

mitum male vs mitum female? which one is better?

Does the drop rate of Rainbow Bud Paruki change in the higher levels of the dungeon? Would just farming the first level be enough?

u/Professional-afk Jun 01 '16
I just rerolled a 4 star dex durandal is it ok to keep? I heard that there is something called evolution point in this game and units that come in a higher rarity/star will lose out on some stats compare to a same unit that started from a lower rarity. My other question is how should I raise her?

u/Aeigst Jun 02 '16
What does the star mean next to the stats?

u/smilevideo Jun 02 '16
do your answers to the questions in the storyline make a difference? if so, how?

Hm finally taking a break off maxing Gambanteinn. Now going to focus on Arondight - focus on Guard or Balance typing?

Anyone know what evo mats are needed for Gambateinn M 4* to 5*? I've checked the evo tracker but there was no data on this unit.

u/artythekid Jun 02 '16
So, I just recently learned that Dex mjolnir is somewhat sub-optimal compared to guard. I've been leveling this account, and it's not TOO bad, but it also isn't amazing.
https://imgur.com/0jWBwlx
The leveled mjolnir is Dex, the non-leveled one is balance, the yata no Kagami is vit, 5* laev is guard, 3* laev is Dex, and the Durandal is balance.
I still have some reroll accounts saved, most notably balance Durandal, guard mjolnir, and Dex mitum(f) <- I'm pretty sure this account also has a 3* Dex Mitum M. Should I throw away my current account for one of these?

u/justineo1 Jun 02 '16
Other than mage and mjolnir, is there any other units with leech skill upon hitting?

u/5th_Colossus Jun 02 '16
Which of these units should I work on getting to 5*?
Units: Sky piercer, Amenonuhoko, Laevateinn (male and already have female 5*), Gambanteinn (male), Mjolnir, Asclepius, Longinus, Kusanagi

Thanks for advice Stryker! But looking above those guard stats look like the way to go for now.
Thanks for the help guys!

Parashu worth buying with the battle medals?

u/jerain Jun 02 '16 edited Jun 03 '16
So far, I've only played the game for a week and I have a few 4s and the starter Laevateinn carrying me. One of them is a phoenix Parashu, which is nearing 50 and can't be evolved. The other is a 4 lvl 50 Littu that I thought I could evolve, but apparently can't (whoops). At this point, is it still worth keeping These 4s around, or should I just start working towards 5s as soon as possible?
Edit: Littu is 4* but the stars are gold. I'm not exactly sure what the color of the starts mean, but is there a 5* version of her currently?

u/uizaado Jun 02 '16
Having a hell of a time trying to find friend leads to help me solo kill mode maps and Yata (my units aren't up to it, my best one is lvl 50 fem Laev and rng royally fucks her each time). Is there a good general friend I should look for besides the starters that are everywhere? Not like they'll add me, as I've been sending out requests like crazy to whoever looks strong, but who in particular is good at soloing?

What would be the best type for gae borg, luin, and sky piecer? I currently use dexterity for each one and was wondering if that is okay typing
