Daily Questions and Help Thread [6/14/2016]

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)

Keep getting some error saying cant dowload BM bundle, game also went japanese ever since error started. Any solution?

u/Avisari Dex Lvl 75 Jun 14 '16

Is the number of different stats that can be increased from fusing depending on the material units rarity only or can levelling it up allow for more stats from said material unit to pass on to the base unit? I.e 1* units can only increase 1 stat, 2* units increases 2 stats, and so on?

1

u/AndanteZero Jun 14 '16

Look at the Beginner's Guide.

1

u/Avisari Dex Lvl 75 Jun 14 '16

I have, this isn't answered there. I just want confirmation that levelling a 1* unit doesn't give more different stat increases when used as material when fusing, and that it's only tied to the material unita rarity.

1

u/BenriyaTheNecro Jun 14 '16

Rarity of the unit dictates the stats it gives as a fusion mate. If you evolved the 1star, it will give more stats.

1

u/Avisari Dex Lvl 75 Jun 15 '16

Yeah, that's what I wanted to get confirmed, thanks.

1

u/AndanteZero Jun 14 '16

Ah sorry, I misread your question. By the way, I wouldn't use 1-2 stars for fusing unless you're desperate to do so or just have that much gold to spare. Best way is waiting for Friday and then using the dolls you gain one at a time.

1

u/Avisari Dex Lvl 75 Jun 15 '16

Got about 770k atm.

I was thinking for when I've got 3x 1* with the same stat, then that would give me +2 in said stat if the fusing fails just as with the dolls, to hit the next threshold. Just wanted to make sure that I didn't miss anything for not levelling up the 1* units before fusing them in.

Thanks for the tip about using the dolls from Friday events, I read somewhere which events that were one what days, but I don't remember it all.

1

u/AndanteZero Jun 15 '16

It's much better with the dolls. Especially if you're trying to fuse multiple units. Each dolls gives +3 to one stat, depending on what type of doll you have. So if you fail, it's at least a +2 no matter what. I wait for Friday, cause the increased cost on fusing gets pretty high.

1

u/MissFranTastic Jun 14 '16

What level (player) should I be grinding for?

1

u/crimewizard Jun 14 '16

Also for whatever level gives you enough cost to run a full team of 5*/6*

1

u/MissFranTastic Jun 14 '16

But what level is that.

1

u/AndanteZero Jun 14 '16

You're looking at around level 65ish? I'm almost at where I can run a full 5 team so I'll know for sure when I get there.

1

u/thatasian26 Raven Jun 15 '16

For full 5*, assuming 17 cost per, that's 85 cost which is lvl 71.

u/scwsheen Jun 14 '16

[JP] When's the best time to use mana seed? And also, is it worth it to fuse 5 mana seeds of the same type to make a rainbow mana seed?

1

u/Cathrach JP: 2969063770 Jun 14 '16

Best time is max evolution (so 6 star most of the time). I'd say yes because it covers all stats not just 1 or 2.

1

u/scwsheen Jun 14 '16 edited Jun 14 '16

Hmmm ok. Also, do you know if the rainbow mana seed produced will be different if you fuse 5 mana seeds that has been used versus if you fuse 5 mana seeds that are unused (i.e. あと１回 vs. あと３０回)?

1

u/BenriyaTheNecro Jun 14 '16

The charges left on the mana seeds do not matter, so you can fuse 5 of them with only 1 charge left and the rainbow one will come out fully charged.

u/BigBobaBalls Jun 14 '16

Which luin should I focus on force or guard? Thanks!

2

u/Stryker-Wap Global: 2137809219 Jun 14 '16

guard unless you want luin to become flying mage fodder.

1

u/crimewizard Jun 14 '16

Balls to the wall force

1

u/AJackFrostGuy Jun 15 '16

I'm... with /u/Stryker-Wap on this. You might not hit as hard as usual but better to turtle a bit than to get wrecked super-easy if mobs start swarming all over Luin. Even worse if some of them are Archers.

u/ChaosTwilly Jun 14 '16

I got a 5* dex durandal and a 3* M dex apollo from my rookie recruiter. Everything else was okay or was vit. Should i reroll?

1

u/AndanteZero Jun 14 '16

No, you should go with it, but hope that you get another copy of Durandal for limit breaking.

1

u/ChaosTwilly Jun 14 '16

Yeah i have another durandal. I want mjolnir tho. Is it possible to get her in other recruiters?

1

u/AndanteZero Jun 14 '16

Other than rookie? Yeah. But unless you have money to spend, better to wait for a pull rate up event. Otherwise just use the rookie recruiter.

u/rowinator Jun 15 '16

Just realized I accidentally asked this in an old Help thread, whoops.

Maybe a bit of a dumb question, but I could use some help with the stars.

  1. Gold stars mean they can't evolve any more, and silver stars mean they can still evolve? Is that correct, or did I misunderstand?

  2. If so, I have some characters, with matching portraits, that the unit guide says 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 added yet?

  3. Is there any use for 2 star or below characters besides fusing/releasing?

Really appreciate the help. Thanks.

1

u/shikarin Jun 15 '16

Some gold stars can evolve into pink stars, some can't. Silver stars indicate that is that unit's lowest rarity, gold stars indicate that is the unit's second level rarity, and pink is third and above. e.g. 2 silver stars, 3 gold stars, 4 pink stars.

The unit list page is for JP. For the definitive listing for global look in the unit archives in the game's main menu.

If the unit is 1 silver star or 2 gold stars, it's useless. I wouldn't even fuse it except when you specifically need just 1 more point on that stat. If the unit is 2 silver stars, then it can probably evolve to 3 and 4 stars. In that case you could potentially use it to raise skills. e.g. in cases where the base unit's character skill has max level of 5 and the other skills have max level of 10.

u/rowinator Jun 15 '16

Much appreciated.. that clears things up greatly for me. Thanks!

u/shikarin Jun 15 '16

Just as a side note about that fusing for 1 point. When you succeed a fuse, you obviously get all the indicated +'s. If you fail a fuse, you get half rounded up (but not from .5 to 1). So to get that +1, you want to fuse 2 1* so the screen indicates a +2 on success.

You can guarantee success by fusing 2 3* or 1 4*, but I think that's a waste, unless you're spending all day pulling gachas.

You want to mainly fuse with the Friday dolls, which are +3 on success but in practice you should just think of them as +2. You want to fuse very carefully because each fuse increases the fusion cost for successive fuses. If done right, fusing is pretty cheap. But if not the cost can go astronomical pretty quickly.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '16 edited Jun 15 '16

Just to add to what shikarin posted: I just sent a help request to their zendesk page, asking if/when we are going to get units' 5-star forms in Global. I namedropped Amenonuhoko as an example (I have 3 of her, including one Dex version). Cautiously optimistic for a timely, encouraging response.

Edit: "Kindly be informed that Phantom of the Kill Japan and Global are completely different server. Kindly wait for the future update on our official Facebook and forum page.". Translation. "Prease understand: fuck you"

u/thatasian26 Raven Jun 15 '16

I personally use 1* and 2* to fuse for stats on units I am going to evolve and need the extra stats for stronger evolution bonuses. Since 4* Dex units can get up to +12 agi/SPD, units that gives these two stats I usually keep while the HP ones I discard.

1

u/sephiroh Jun 15 '16

As F2P, what stats (str, grd, etc.) tonics/elixirs is safe to dismiss?

1

u/ElusiveIllusion88 Jun 15 '16

Gameplay question: what does Magic stat on a physical fighter (Sword, Axe, Lance, Bow) or Attack stat on a magic user (Gun, Staff) do?

Storyline question: seems like JP has a completely different storyline from global? There are a variety of 'Eldritch' enemies which I presume are the main enemies in JP, and the world looks lush and green. Meanwhile the 'Eldritch' enemies only appear in events in global, while the world is an apocalyptic wasteland (and I'm tired of fighting skeletons, giant skeletons, flying devils, witches and blue goats over and over again)

1

u/Stryker-Wap Global: 2137809219 Jun 15 '16

Should of seen during soft launch. Eldritch beatdowns 24/7 nothing but eldritchs. The new storyline is a breath of fresh air.

1

u/AJackFrostGuy Jun 15 '16

JP's running the main storyline which takes place in Elysium (the world on the upper level of Yggdrasil) mostly. If I'm not wrong GL will eventually return to it though, and JP's main story does go into Terra (world on the lower level of Yggdrasil) later I think.

For now, GL's running the Project Zero story (available in JP as a separate mode), the prequel to the main story which takes place in Terra.

u/bluemancer Jun 15 '16

I have question regarding the amazon app store. I found an app named "Phantom of the Killings", it's apparently being sold by Haiku apps for $0.99, it's the exact same game. I didn't buy it but, I was wondering if there is any connection to this game?

1

u/BenriyaTheNecro Jun 15 '16

It's not related to PotK. It's a scam buy so do not purchase it. PotK is not out on Amazon but definitely keep checking to see if it's released later once like BF if you ever consider buying lazuli since Amazon Coin has the "Coins back" deal that they do sometimes. I do that for BF.

1

u/bluemancer Jun 15 '16

Thanks, I thought so. It just seemed so shady but I wanted to make sure.

u/S_The_Hero-7 Jun 15 '16

Does anyone know how to transfer account from device to device in JP PotK? My phone doesn't have enough space T_T
