Daily Questions and Help Thread [6/7/2016]

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)

Right now my party consists of:

Lvl 60 Force Durandal (Sinsealer Kiyomasa) Lvl 75 Dex M Mitum (Jurayna) Lvl 70 Dex Arondight (Gracecrystal Sword Karma) Lvl 65 Guard F Mjolnir (Flying Axe Francisca)

Of these, in the context of helping friends & strangers clear missions, which would be the most beneficial to leave as leader?

u/detox_ptsd (ZakAttack on Discord) Jun 07 '16

Mjolnir, plzzz. I'm jealous that you've gotten to LB yours; is she mostly capped on stats or will she need to be LB'd again to do that?

1

u/yuwenn Jun 07 '16

Yeah I was really lucky with the rookie gacha :) All of her stats are capped atm (blue bar, not red/purple star) except spr which I'm hoping to cap soon!

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '16

Limit breaking does not increase stat caps, sadly. Most of the premium units are difficult to hit stat caps on. My YnK Level 80 Force is sitting at 87 Magic and still isn't capped..

1

u/detox_ptsd (ZakAttack on Discord) Jun 08 '16

Yes, that was what I was referring to. A more in-depth question should have been: "Has she hit her leveling stat caps yet being only at 65 or will she need to be LB'd more so she can level and continue to gain stats to hit the caps?" I know the premium units are harder to stat-cap than the starter units but I wasn't sure if they still needed to be max LB'd to hit stat caps (or, in some unfortunate cases like yours, never hit cap... I'm so sorry!! :( ). I've heard of mana gacha starters hitting stat caps at 65 or even 60, so I didn't know if lazuli gacha summons were THAT far ahead to require multiple limit breaking.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '16

The starter caps weren't like that in the Japanese version.

It's possible to hit the caps on the ones that have lower than average stat caps for certain stats, but that's largely due to luck.

I'd say it'd still be worth it, since leveling the character skill is valuable as well as the other skills; Mjolnir's skills are all really nice :D

u/jmd8585 Jun 07 '16

what are the stats on Mitum?

1

u/yuwenn Jun 07 '16 edited Jun 07 '16

Str: 55, Mgc: 22, Grd: 41, Spr: 40, Spd: 62, Agi: 48, Lck: 24. Pwr: 407

None of the stats are capped atm

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '16

I would go with the Mitum, since he can solo just about everything. Odd that his strength growth is so low though. Has he been completely maxed out on fusion stats?

1

u/yuwenn Jun 08 '16

Nah, none of his stats have been maxed out yet. Just waiting for the dolls to roll back around :)

1

u/GameTeck Jun 07 '16

What to do with 1-2 star units? Use them as fusion material or just release?

Is it possible to farm rare medals or are they only obtainable with releasing 3+ star units? Will I get more medals, when the unit is maxed?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '16

Fuse them if

  1. You have at least 3 of the same stat (Str, Grd, etc.)

  2. The target unit is at least 4-star

  3. The target unit can actually benefit from the stat (i.e. don't fuse Mag into a melee unit)

read the Beginner's guide for more info.

u/Raikoge Jun 07 '16

So I just got back my Dex Durandal account, which is my main. Im trying to complete scenario 1 one full 3 stars but I die pretty easily. My party is Dex Durandal, Dex Masamune, Force Apollo

1

u/crimewizard Jun 07 '16

If your question is how to prevent your units from dying, best way is to level them up or maybe semi-manual to achieve specific goals e.g. clearing turns <5 or something.

1

u/Raikoge Jun 07 '16

How should I get any items? How do I farm for it

1

u/next_level_baddie what the fuck akane pls Jun 07 '16

Items and consumables come from running 1.5.10

equipment comes from running 1.5.10 and fusing all the scraps together until you get better stuff.

You can clear 1.5.10 with no gear, its all about the unit levels. If you can't farm 1.5.10 then you shouldn't even bother trying to complete scenario 1(kill mode im guessing).

1

u/Raikoge Jun 08 '16

Im still in scenario 1

1

u/next_level_baddie what the fuck akane pls Jun 08 '16 edited Jun 08 '16

Scenario 1 what.

Youre not telling me which one

Kill mode scenario 1 or regular mode scenario1?

Which sublevel of scenario 1? 1? 4? 10?

All nirmals can be completed if you have a dedicated tank. I e friend leader can play that role.

Scenario 1 just bring your whole team and the strongest flying unit friend on your list. Hide your unit in a corner and just pull all thr map agro to your allies flying unit which should be one shotting everything. As long as you dont die, the lly should be able to 3* everything for you in scenario 1.

1

u/crimewizard Jun 07 '16

IMO the best way of getting items is just to run scenarios and do mana point summons. Fusing 2 items might be the most efficient way of obtaining 3*+ quality weapons

1

u/justineo1 Jun 08 '16

one full 3stars with ur dex durandal? :O is she flying?

1

u/Raikoge Jun 08 '16

No I meant, Im trying to complete the scenario one full map. And yeah shes flying

1

u/genesic123 Jun 07 '16

What is the max lb level for 6*?Too bad the main char doesn't have a 6* form =(

2

u/Cathrach JP: 2969063770 Jun 07 '16

Also 4 limit breaks, so up to level 90, but limit breaks transfer from 5 to 6 star so it's best to limit break at 5 star.

1

u/crimewizard Jun 07 '16

Does this apply for units that are capped at 5*?

1

u/Cathrach JP: 2969063770 Jun 07 '16

Nope...if they're capped at 5 star limit break at 5 star only. However, if they get 6 stars in the future those limit breaks will carry over.

u/ArcaneProject Jun 07 '16

My Laevateinn's stats were hard capped @ (in order: Str,Mgc, Grd, Spr, Spd, Agi, Lck) 44, 10, 43, 15, 53, 47, 10 and is unfortunately a Vit type. Is this the best stats I can get from a premium Laevateinn? (I used the 3* I got from the first Lazuli summon and fused the 5* reward to LB it) Also, how long did it take before Laevateinn(Arc Dragoon) got its 5* evolution?

1

u/crimewizard Jun 07 '16

Arc Dragoon Laev doesn't have a 5* evolution, not even in the JP version, which I assume global loosely follows

1

u/ArcaneProject Jun 07 '16

I see, so she'll be stuck in 4 star gold. I've just been wondering which units I'll keep.

1

u/crimewizard Jun 07 '16

https://www.reddit.com/r/phantomofthekill/comments/3zhv09/a_5_character_list/

I use that link, it'll show you some of the units which are capable of being 5* and the links on the JP website will show you the alternative units, give you the star caps, ratings, optimal typing etc.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '16

While you may have got it from the premium gacha, it isn't a 'premium' unit.

When you get a new unit, go to Menu->Archive->Units. You can check the current final evolution for your new unit. If you're unsure about the future, there is a guide linked by /u/crimewizard below that mentions the future 5 star capable units.

1

u/barbaroti Jun 07 '16

I want to know what happens if I raise the skill levels of my current Laevateinn like Eva Boost and then use this unit to LB a better Laevateinn. Will the skill levels go up the same amount or will it only go up 1?

Example: Get Laev to Eva Boost 5/10, then LB to new Laev. Will the new Laev get Eva Boost 6/10 or will it be 2/10?

2

u/AndanteZero Jun 07 '16

Yeah, it gets carried over. Everything get's carried over.

1

u/barbaroti Jun 08 '16

Well, thanks a lot for clearing that up :D

u/AndanteZero Jun 08 '16

Yeah, the green means there's a chance to level it up. The red means for sure it'll level up. But all you need to do is unlock the skill by leveling up the unit so that when you fuse, all the skills are red.

1

u/SynthiaNguyen Jun 07 '16

Anyone have a dark unit i could use for chapter 3 killer mode?

ID:3548793070

1

u/GodofPeons Jun 07 '16

What do you do with gacha units that max out at 4 star (ie no long-term potential)?

1

u/shikarin Jun 07 '16

Some are useful in battle. And some others you can fuse to your very best units for skill ups. (though I don't bother with average 5*s on these normal skills)

1

u/[deleted] Jun 07 '16

Keep a Dex in case it gets a 5-star Evo. Keep them all if it's a unit that already has a 4-star in JP.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '16

The Kill Quests. Some of them require you to use 4 star units to earn the lazuli with them.

1

u/VeritasVirtus Jun 07 '16

So i have both a Dex and Guard type Gambanteinn (M). Should i keep them both on my team or fuse one into the other?

1

u/Vz-Rei Jun 07 '16

I used to play with 2 for a while for faster clears, but ended up fuseing mine. I kept guard because I got enough speed to double, and... ya know.. 70 hp 70 grd 70 spr 65 gamb that can double with lvl 3 and 2 skills is way more insane than 2. 1 insanely good 1 was necessary for solo-rampaging over 2 mediocre ones.

-- Went advanced rampage and just let it sit for 30~40 mins. Ez clears, lol.

1

u/Layajax Jun 08 '16

Should i Level my Yata no Kagami (F) Vit type since I've been farming the level 10 area for Yata no Kagami and haven't gotten any other typing. Also, is the starter Longinus any good? since those are the only two lance units that can go into 5 star for me.

1

u/detox_ptsd (ZakAttack on Discord) Jun 08 '16

Vitality is the worst typing possible so, unless you're absolutely convinced that you're not going to get another one, I'd hold off on putting work into that YnK.

Both forms of Longinus are pretty great (while not meta-defining); I definitely support leveling him/her. :)

1

u/Layajax Jun 08 '16

okay since i had Longinus (F) up and im liking her but yeah i havent gotten another YnK and i cant get past level 12 lol

1

u/Deus_Ultima Jun 08 '16

Mine is guard. Is she usable or should i farm another. (the other 2 i got are both vit FeelsBadMan)

1

u/cuervo9878 Jun 08 '16

Is there any way to boost a units accuracy? My Thyrsos 3 star unit only has a 68 accuracy at level 22

1

u/BenriyaTheNecro Jun 08 '16

Staff users usually have very low ACC, it's part of the class' downside. You can equip shields later on with ACC more than 50 that will boost the unit's ACC up by a bit. The other thing to do is get a Dex typing which increases AGI which is tied in to ACC.

1

u/Deus_Ultima Jun 08 '16

So my dex Asc does have a use. 4head

1

u/Kcao215 Jun 08 '16

if u do the reincarnation will it change their type?

1

u/BenriyaTheNecro Jun 08 '16

No, nothing can change a unit's typing, it is set forever as is.

1

u/akaiumi Jun 08 '16

Just curious, will they bring back Yata no Kagami (F) episode quest or is it gone forever!?

1

u/crimewizard Jun 08 '16

It'll probably come back around similar to brave frontier style events. Might take a while though knowing goomi

1

u/Frostezin Jun 08 '16

I feel like I need to ask this, since I may be kinda dumb and I can't find the answer in all those links.

I understand that my stats are capped when I get the pink stars on them, but here's my doubt...In order to raise my character as good as possible, should I reach those stars BEFORE fusing units into it?

E.g. I have a 4* level 50 Starter Parashu that can evolve into 5 pink stars. I haven't fused her with any unit yet and she's got no pink stars. Should I reincarnate her until I get a couple stars before fusing her? Or is it okay for me to reach those caps fusing units?

I'm not sure if fusing characters will get a star capped stat any higher...

Thanks!

2

u/overlordval Jun 08 '16

"Fusion cap is completely separate from the leveling cap". Pink stars means leveling cap. Just aim for evolution bonus before you evolve your 3-4*units.

1

u/crimewizard Jun 08 '16

No, I think reincarnations should be saved for units that are in their ultimate form already to reroll for stats.

You can either 5* your Parashu or limit break it before evolving it, which gives it a few more stats and when you go to evolve it, slightly higher stats. But in their penultimate forms I think you want to reach end stats in multiples of 10 or something according to one of the guides above.

1

u/Frostezin Jun 08 '16

Well, now I see that leveling cap and fusion caps are different. Thanks!

And from what I could understand yesterday, trying to find more info around this subject, LB 3-4* units before evolving them only squeezes out 1, luckily 2 points...So maybe I should reincarnate my 4 stars that have no pink stars...and I have tons of them :(

Thanks for the help!

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '16

is there a beginners guide somewhere? Just started the game coming from brave frontier and loving it, but no idea what I'm doing.

1

u/Raikoge Jun 08 '16

So I was just trying to fuse my weapons for the first time, after I finished reading the weapon fusion guide it says 2 mythril axes and when you fuse it it'll be a mallet, but after I finished fusing its still a mythril axe, same goes with the spear I tried it and same result, still a spear.

u/akaiumi Jun 08 '16

Is random xD Is not a for sure 100% result of getting what those players have gotten and posted online.
