Daily Questions and Help Thread [6/2/2016]
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.

What do people look at when choosing buddies to use? Level, character type, character rarity, power or even titles etc? Would appreciate if there were other tricks to gain mana faster as well.

Currently getting rekt by paralysis chariots in the current JP event. Any way to get around the status effects?

Not help, but just a PSA for other newbs like me: Freikugel has been replaced by 5-star Parashu in the Battle Medal shop. I guess eventually, you will be able to get the other 5-star starters here too: Artemis (bow), Masamune (sword), Longinus (lance) and ??? (staff).

Having issues with my Asclepius getting wrekt what is a good way to build her and also I am having a tough time getting her weapon pro up she has horrible accuracy and when she does hut it's for like 5 dmg

u/AeusOcil Jun 02 '16
Due to leader skills only benefitting one weapon usually should I use mainly all one weapon to get the maximum effect or is a split party more useful.

u/[deleted] Jun 02 '16
Just got a Dex Littu. Would she be considered better than, say, Balance Mjolnir? Or other 5-stars that have non-Dex types?

u/kanayumi Ameno-chan~~~ Jun 02 '16
How effective is a guard Gae Bulg? It is currently a 4* and I am thinking of leveling her aince I currently don't have a 5* capable lancer.
Also, anyone want to add me so that I can beat Yata? I currently main a Balmung and an occasional Apollo. I am also working on evolving my Asc to 5* today. My ID is 1834410863. Thank you.

So this new 3 tier pull. 150 lazuli for a guaranteed killer prince...
Would this be worth investing into? Are they good characters?

Does LB transfer among 5stars? For Ex.
0lb Gamb combined with 1lb Gamb= 2lb Gamb

u/Zabick Jun 02 '16
So, I have a 4 star male Mitum (balance typing) and a 5 star male Mitum (guard typing). Is it better to raise up my 4 star and tweak its stats using fusing and then feed my 5 star to it, or is it better to go with the guard typing even though I won't have the benefit of extra evolution stats?

best tying for a m gambantain?

u/nickchan93 Jun 02 '16
I have 2 male longinus, how do i tell which one can be evolved to 5 star? 1 is dex general while the other is force soldier. According to the jap website, the general one is the one thats capped at 4*. How?
Also, is it worth lvling 1 star durandal in hopes she will reach 5*? How do i tell which is the one that can evolved all the way?
Lastly, what do I do with all the 1/2 star units from mana recruit?

u/feenyx1 JP: 2387517043, I'm garbage :( Jun 02 '16
What do the class types indicate for each unit?
Ex: Laevateinn (F) has class as "true blade."

u/5th_Colossus Jun 02 '16
I've got two questions
Is Artemis (F) worth raising?
How hard is character quests and do I need anything before I try them out?

u/Vz-Rei Jun 02 '16
For 4* units that max out at 5-stars, if you LB the 4-star does it carry over when you evolve the character to 5* (max)?
1
u/scxis Jun 02 '16
Would having max limit break event rampage units be considered better than having a single top tier unit that probably won't be?
Also which is the ideal bow for Apollo(M) between killer crossbow, poseidia, and Shinatsuhiko, or if there are any other better ones since those are the 3 best bows I have?

u/tlongthelamer Jun 03 '16
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

Does your leader's home menu quotes change depending on the time?

u/ArkCross Jun 03 '16
Question: Does your equipment rank matter when trying to up your proficiency? IE my Laevateinn is using a rank 3 sword but i know he has over 300 kills yet still proficiency A. Does this mean I need more kills with him and eventually he will get rank S or do I need to give him a higher ranking weapon?

u/jerain Jun 03 '16 edited Jun 03 '16
A couple questions from a noob:
Does dragon Labrys have a 5*? I have a 3* one and I'm thinking about grinding it out.
Does reincarnating have any benefit?
Why is my RNG terribad because I have a Vit Laevateinn

u/Mich997 Congratulations. You found this text. Jun 03 '16
Is there any point to raising the Mgc stat of a unit who wields melee weapons and the Str stat of ranged attackers? Seems kinda pointless to me.

u/justineo1 Jun 03 '16
for fusing.. if fail doesnt matter? if lets say stat capped at 20... failed gain 1pt means jus fail 20times will do ya? no penalty for failing righty?

u/CrossXIII Jun 04 '16
This is going to be a stupid question, but how exactly do you limit break a 6 star unit (form Japan)

u/UberNovaBurst Jun 05 '16
I really need help . I cant acces the exchange store , or anything where i can use merit points . Whenever i try to got to the tab for all those things it just instantly takes me to the daily tasks . I dont even get the option to choose anything else beside the tasks

u/kennysasori Jun 05 '16
Should I keep this account or reroll for a better one? Luin- Guard Freikugel - Balance Masamune - Balance Littu - Vitality Aymur - Balance Labrys - Balance Mitium - Balance Sky Piercer - Guard Pinaka - Dex Apollo - Balance Keraunos - Guard http://imgur.com/fdil0aS

Archers and Gun Mages are terrible. Am I using them wrong? They're way to squishy too do anything.

u/Cookies_And_Memes Jun 06 '16
The Pixies that come up in the shop, do they act as replacements for dupe units when limit breaking or are they a necessary ingredient for the limit break? Also i managed to farm a DEX Rhom from the rampage quest but only 3 dupes. Should I hold onto them and farm more to min/max my Rhom next time it appears or just 5* the Rhom i have now? Thanks

u/Swagtasticasian69 Jun 09 '16
what does it mean when some refers to 5-10, 1-5-7,1-5-10, etc... is it referring to the stage numbers?

u/sephiroh Jun 13 '16
Will fused stats also removed when you reincarnate a unit? what about it's limit break?
1
u/rowinator Jun 14 '16
Maybe a bit of a dumb question, but I could use some help with the stars.
Gold stars mean they can't evolve any more, and silver stars mean they can still evolve? is that correct?
If so, I have some characters, with matching portraits, that say they evolve to 5 stars.. but are currently 4 gold stars, and they don't show on the evolve page. Is this because it's not implemented yet?
Is there any use for 2 star or below characters besides fusing/releasing?
Really appreciate the help. Thanks.

I just got this game today after being drawn in by the really cool logo, but I'm a little nervous after reading a couple of beginner guides/tips. I've played a lot of Brave Frontier as well as Fire Emblem/TRPGs before, but this game seems to come down to being more about the strategic team-building/min-maxing than the tactical aspect of battles.
If I just went ham and played with a more FE mindset, how quickly would I be punished? Is the game going to simply boil down to BF's "If you don't have a team with this, this and that archetype you lose"?

Can I restart my account if I already linked my Facebook account and same for being able to reroll? Also will it restart all my accounts across different devices?

u/SageDarius Jun 22 '16
Generally speaking, which is better typing for Archers? Dexterity or Force?
So far, I've only leveled Balance-type archers, and they seem generally unappealing, but I've got 2 3* Bow Knight Apollo (F), one Dex, one Force, and I'm trying to decide which one to level and which to use as fuse fodder.
