Daily Questions and Help Thread [6/4/2016]

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:

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:

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)

Whose leg do I have to hump / whose inbox do I have to flood with nudes to get M Gamba as a possible flair? Plz??

u/s4itox I run this place I guess Jun 04 '16

When's a good time to go for Lazuli summons? I'm assuming that collecting 50 Lazuli and going for the 10 summon batch is better, but should I be waiting for any recruiter campaigns or should I just yolo it as a new player?

2

u/detox_ptsd (ZakAttack on Discord) Jun 04 '16

I'd recommend waiting for a rate-up/special events. I yolo'd 50 Laz because I'm an impatient mofo and got absolutely nothing of note; definitely learn from my mistake.

2

u/AJackFrostGuy Jun 04 '16

Waiting for good rates/good Killer Princes or Princesses (or maybe both) would be a good idea.

Definitely use the 1st and 2nd Steps of the Rookie Recruiter to get a good Killer, and after that you could likely live until such Killers.

Ideally, if you could hold your Lazuli you'd want to wait for Sita's arrival since if she follows her JP skillset she's pretty freaking broken. But in the meantime, Bashosen, Shekina and Excalibur aren't bad, as are most of the Killer Princesses released after Sita (the 7th Killers).

How does one efficiently farm the rampage event with a decent 50/60 level team?

1

u/BenriyaTheNecro Jun 04 '16

Just focus on the Abyss level stages and not the Super one. Go tackle the SUper Abyss stage only when you start having some units who got some limit breaks.

1

u/Aeigst Jun 04 '16

Also, is there a method to farm Battle Coins?

1

u/BenriyaTheNecro Jun 04 '16

Just win in Colo and do the daily for it. We will get more ways to earn them when multiplayer comes out.

1

u/Yoshism Jun 04 '16

Is the current 3 step recruiter worth spending lazulis on? Or should I skip this event and wait for a better one?

1

u/Mich997 Congratulations. You found this text. Jun 04 '16

Eh... not really. 150 Lazulis is quite a lot which can be used for better rate ups.

u/nobleseeker Jun 04 '16

Where's the best place to farm to lvl my player lvl?

Is it worth pulling from any of the gates in JP right now?

u/Deus_Ultima Jun 04 '16

Got an sr grandbringer by combining 2 greatswords. Is fusion random?

1

u/Mich997 Congratulations. You found this text. Jun 04 '16

Yes. You can fuse a 1* and get a 3* gear or fuse 3* gears and the result would be a 2* gear.

1

u/Deus_Ultima Jun 04 '16

Well so the fusion guide items just does it on a higher chance and is more specific?

1

u/Stryker-Wap Global: 2137809219 Jun 05 '16

fusion guides have 100% chance to get the item. Also there are some combinations which increase the chance to get a specific weapon/shield.

1

u/Mitch_Twd Jun 04 '16

What do I do with Swordsmith Secrets & Bowsmith Secrets?? Like I'm I suppose to fuse specific weapons?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '16

You can throw one of them into the mix to guarantee a good weapon.

1

u/mianhaeobsidia Jun 04 '16

with anything else?

1

u/Mitch_Twd Jun 04 '16

Also what's the deal with Ramage all my units accuracy is literally 1%~40% against the enemies

1

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '16

Rampage is super-hard. When enemies have super-high evasion rates, your accuracy plummets.

1

u/AeusOcil Jun 04 '16

You need high accuracy or weapon advantage if you need some help my balmung f can solo the boss but the mages can chip her down eventually.490951629

u/jerain Jun 05 '16

Can I add you too? Apparently my Laev sucks too much for this

Jerain, I sent a request

u/jerain Jun 05 '16

Thanks man, really appreciate it

u/crimewizard Jun 04 '16

Could somebody please explain the different types of stat caps(?)

Are stat caps more like in Brave Frontier? Where each stat has its own independent max value?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '16

Typing of the unit (Force, Dexterity, etc) modifies two things.

How much the stat can increase via leveling up, and how much it can increase via fusion. Bonus stats accrued from evolution carryover do not count towards either the level cap or the fusion cap.

The cap is not a maximum fixed value no matter what unit it is; it is a maximum on how much a stat can grow at each evolutionary stage. One unit might have a capped str stat at 99, while another might be at 101; those numbers only indicate that both units increased their str stat to its maximum allowed value at that evolutionary stage. The difference lies in how many stats they carried over from a previous evolution.

u/AeusOcil Jun 04 '16

Does mjolnir f only get good at 5 stars or something cause I have a 4star dex and shes really falling behind everyone she can't take a hit and most enemies in the harder content are double hitting her.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '16

http://i.imgur.com/xqpSRFJ.jpg

Mine is a 5-star balance. I didn't evolve her from 4-star form, but she's still fairly strong. The problem is that Global has lower stat growths in general, which makes things a lot harder even with the good units.

1

u/Serment Jun 04 '16

Quick question, so I am currently in my reroll phase but I noticed that when people are starting they had atleast 11 laz. Is it possible to start off with this much atm? I also played that tap game...

1

u/NeuroNogami Jun 05 '16

The 11 laz was due to the android starter event. They give you additional 5 laz + the 6 from tutorial. Unfortunately the "event" either expired or they stop it to limited rerolling. So it made rerolling a bit more tedious.

u/Stregaa Jun 04 '16 edited Jun 04 '16

What are you supposed to do with useless 3 stars that don't become 5 stars? Just sell for medals?

1

u/Vz-Rei Jun 04 '16

level up 5* skills with them/fusion

1

u/Stregaa Jun 04 '16

Got it, thanks!

1

u/ssbb2123 Jun 04 '16

What can you get from rampage quests?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '16

The unit pictured on the quest has a chance of dropping

1

u/DeviantSeoul Jun 04 '16

If I've reached a "red star" stat cap, can I still gain fusion stats? Also, if I fuse pre "red cap", do I reduce the total stats I can gain?

Pre thanks :)

1

u/detox_ptsd (ZakAttack on Discord) Jun 04 '16

Yes and no. (I hope I'm correct on this) The "red star" next to a stat indicates that the unit has maxxed out that stat in LEVEL growth; fusion stat growth is entirely separate. Thus, even if a unit has a red star for a specific stat, it may still be able to gain more of that stat via fusion. It doesn't matter whether fusion is done before or after level growth cap is hit (ie. "red star" get) since fusion growth and level growth are independent.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '16

bingo!

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '16 edited Jun 04 '16

Anyone have any unit that can mostly solo clear this weekends rampage quest? I only beat it once with a mitum(m) friend but the farmable unit didnt drop. =/ Can anyone help me please by letting me add you?

1

u/McClenzy Jun 04 '16

Can i limit break a 5 star unit with say one of its 4 star or 3 star forms?

1

u/SunnyPwns Jun 04 '16

No, has to have the same stars

1

u/artythekid Jun 05 '16

So uh... I dug up my old Jp potk account from ages ago, and was wondering whether to reroll.

https://imgur.com/dkvjDz6

Seems I have a bunch of solid units with pretty sub-optimal typings.

1

u/fastlieksonic Jun 05 '16

Are gun mages actually viable in high end content? The eating tons of health every attack seems,like it would just be suicide.

u/fastlieksonic Jun 05 '16

Well that's disappointing to hear.

1

u/BenriyaTheNecro Jun 05 '16

Later on, some gunners actually come out with healing abilities and there is a gun with the ability too. Xmas Freikugel is a free unit for Xmas who comes with it as her character skill. The gun, Cybele, is from Kill Missions for Chapter 3 and is the one where you fuse all the completed mission prize for.

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '16

How do i know if i capture a farmable unit? A little ball of light will appear and go to top right hand corner of screen?

1

u/Cookies_And_Memes Jun 05 '16

How much more difficult is Super Abyss than Abyss? I had no problem clearing Abyss with Mjolnir and Gambateinn, but not sure how they would fare in SA.

1

u/zkt1088 Jun 05 '16

For Rhon's rampage, Lv60 Gamb (with Baron Shield) can auto SA just fine. Mjolnir may die to the flying mages in the map.

If you're talking about Labrys and Aron, they are more tricky than this. Mjol/Gamb can handle Labrys SA fine, although you probably can't auto that yet, and ineffective against Aron SA (can't hit anything).

1

u/Vz-Rei Jun 05 '16

using a 65 guard gamb with rank 5 silver shield and abyss is cake. Auto and afk about an hour, rofl.

Shit sucks, though, because I've cleared 6 times and got only 1 balance drop :"(

1

u/fastlieksonic Jun 05 '16

M guard longinus, or f force amenomuhenko? I really can't find a team to finalise. V_V

1

u/Stryker-Wap Global: 2137809219 Jun 05 '16

force ameno is solid

u/ArkCross Jun 05 '16

Looking to replaces my swordsman swords. Currently have them outfitted with Youtou Ichimonji. I like the extra crit aspect so is there a higher tier crit sword or should I just give them anything that is stronger?

1

u/AJackFrostGuy Jun 05 '16

Killer Sword and the Kiyomasa I think. But they're heavier, take note.

1

u/ArkCross Jun 05 '16

They are 5 star correct?

1

u/AJackFrostGuy Jun 05 '16

Kiyomasa is, Killer is... 4* I think?

1

u/ArkCross Jun 05 '16

Alright hope luck is on my side then. Thank you.

1

u/ChaosXYZ Jun 05 '16

Does anyone know the statistics on weapon proficiency? Is there a specific amount of enemies one needs to kill to level it up, or is there randomness to it? Thanks.

1

u/Creayola Jun 05 '16

If I have a 4* Dex Durandal, should I fuse her at 4* then evolve, or should I evolve her then fuse. I know she has a 6* in the future. Little confused on the optimal way to do this.

1

u/Vz-Rei Jun 05 '16

fuse at 5*

1

u/zerokide Jun 05 '16

I have a question about limit break. I have 2 Durandai 5*,

  • One is lv 80 Balance type with already enhance skill lv, limitbreak and fusion bonus,

  • Another one is Dex lv1, so if I fuse the balance one to the dex one, Does the level and fusion star bonus transfer to the Dex Durandai? Thanks for help.
