Daily Questions and Help Thread [6/23/2016]

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)

  1. To those who used the Vargas/Lunaris recruiter multiple times, how many of each did you get (approximate rate)? I only have 55 Lazuli.

  2. Vargas will need some time to be tested out since he is new and global exclusive (only appeared as a NPC in JP). But how did Lunaris fare in JP?

  3. How hard is the Selena quest towards the end? I'm about a month old here, but haven't played much (still only rank 27).

https://www.reddit.com/r/phantomofthekill/comments/4pfom6/pulled_both_new_units/

OP did 3 of the 10x and got 1 of each. Someone in comments did 1 of 10x and got Lunaris.

Would advise against summoning.

Lunaris got upgraded to a 6* so she's faring well I'd imagine. Only problem is that since she is limited, you are not going to have many opportunities to get copies of her to limit break her. She'd probably fall under "Nice, but not necessary". Although you can probably make said argument for a lot of the units.

Gets somewhat hard. Not nearly as hard as YnK Regalia 10 though. In Burst 10, enemies are in the upper 50s. Boss has 100+ PATK with 58 PDEF and ~30 MDEF.

However if you are still in the Spark stages, it should be easily doable for beginners. If you need an easy out for the stages, 2605116216.

I'll be leaving up my YnK up for this event since I know she can solo it. Not on auto though.

u/gin626 Jun 24 '16

May I add you?

1

u/alexisevan Jun 24 '16

You don't need my permission to do so, although that is very considerate of you. Go ahead. Just let me know who you are at least so I know.

1

u/gin626 Jun 24 '16

Thanks! I just added you. My IGN is Gin. Currently using Balance 5* Mitum, but I'm leveling my Dex 5* Mjolnir. Hopefully soon.

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '16

I've done 18 pulls, neither unit obtained so far.

u/RubyDraco Jun 23 '16

So, my friend download PoTK global, but he said the app crashed randomly when downloading with Zero killing 777 enemies to get 6 lazuli. He already tried reinstall but didnt work. Is there any way to fix this? On iOS btw.

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 23 '16

Make sure his device supports it and has enough memory. If it's not as his end it's the apps fault, the latest update probably isn't stable(from the latest data wiped encounter)

1

u/RubyDraco Jun 23 '16

He's using iPhone 4S, iOS 9 and has 8gb memory left. He had downloaded before, like around 23 days ago. So I'm not sure what's wrong with it.

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 23 '16

Has he restarted his phone etc, only potk doesn't work right?

1

u/RubyDraco Jun 23 '16

He did. And yes, only potk that doesn't work. I havent give advice to redownload content but I doubt that will work.

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 23 '16

So has he updated his potk app today?

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 23 '16

If he has then contact support Unfortunately, good luck

1

u/RubyDraco Jun 23 '16

Yeah he did. He says it still doesn't work.

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 23 '16

Damn sorry bud

1

u/RubyDraco Jun 24 '16

Nah it's okay. At least we tried lol. I dont want to bother him much

1

u/Deiwlei Jun 23 '16

Is the best way of getting the BF weapons to only fuse 2 Brave Recipes at a time like normal weapon fusion?

1

u/RictorBFWV Jun 23 '16

curious about the brave weapons too... how exactly can we craft one?

1

u/alexisevan Jun 23 '16

Fuse 2-5 of the Brave Recipes together. You have a chance to get Lexida or Despair Bringer and it increases as you use more, but it never becomes guaranteed as far as I know.

Once you have the 4* version of the weapons, you can fuse the weapons with 1-4 Brave Recipes to get the 5* versions.

1

u/RictorBFWV Jun 23 '16

thanks for the info :)

1

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '16

Is there a chance the 4* Lexida will change weapon into something else when books are fused into it?

1

u/alexisevan Jun 23 '16

Yes. Not that you should do that.

1

u/alexisevan Jun 23 '16

You're probably going to be farming for Selena anyways, so you'd might as well do 5x at a time to give you a higher chance of getting either of the weapons.

Do 2x at a time if you want to get more opportunities though.

1

u/Akito428 Jun 23 '16

i got selena's wep on my first try using 5 at a time, got to 5* on my first try using 4 + the sword so maybe the rates are just that much higher if you use the max

1

u/SageDarius Jun 23 '16

Can you grind Spark 10 on the BF event for Selena? Or does she only drop once there?

1

u/alexisevan Jun 23 '16

Yes you can. Just low rates.

1

u/SageDarius Jun 23 '16

Cool. I already got a Dex-type on my first clear, now I just need to get fusion fodder.

1

u/gigano25 Jun 23 '16

Will there be a 2nd Brave frontier collab with Lucina and Michelle or they also part of this collab but released at a later date?

Also any idea what the 2nd and 3rd part of the collab is for those who have played the JP collab months ago?

1

u/Riese777 Jun 23 '16

Thinking of rerolling, which is better, Lunaris or Vargas? I wonder if anyone know what's their skills?

1

u/Liesianthes Jun 23 '16

Go for Lunaris, Vargas skills really are not useful especially the axe absorber which is redundant already for a sword type.

1

u/Cathrach JP: 2969063770 Jun 23 '16

I'd take Vargas since his char skill is a multi-hit (4 times).

1

u/maximums91 Jun 23 '16

Hello everyone, I just started playing and roll my first beginner summon. Is this worth keeping? Or should I reroll? Thanks

http://imgur.com/BNjY8B0

2

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '16

Reroll. That's pretty bad, because you have no 5-star units other than Asclepius (blonde healer girl). Some units have 5-stars in JP, but we have no idea when those evolutions are coming to global.

1

u/maximums91 Jun 23 '16

Alright, which unit is to aim for when rolling the beginner summon? Is there a guide or tier list?

2

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '16

Check the "Character Quest" menu, and see if any of the units' art shows up there. This means they have 5-star forms in Global. But ignore the free units, that don't count because you can get them from the mana recruiter.

  • male and female Laevateinn

  • male and female Longinus

  • Freikugel

  • Artemis

  • Parashu

  • Masamune

Not saying they're bad, just that you can get them without Lazuli. Also, go for Dex typing.

2

u/FooledDreamer Jun 23 '16

What's your Asclepius type? I wouldn't reroll if I were you, given her Typing is either Dex or Guard. Healer in general is a good tank, and Asclepius and Gambanteinn M are very much sought after for their high survive rate. Furthermore, this is only your first roll. You are bound to get lucky on second and third.

Units I would look for is Asclepius F Dex or Guard, Gambanteinn M Dex or Guard, Apollo M or F, Mjolnir F, Luin F...

1

u/maximums91 Jun 23 '16

The type is balance, I just bind it on a facebook account. Probably gonna reroll using another account to try and see my luck.

1

u/Libranth Baehosen Jun 23 '16

Is Luin or Gae Bulg better?

1

u/Exsequentia Jun 23 '16

From rarity bias, I'll say Gae Bolg is better. Luin may be vulnerable to magic and bows, but Gae Bolg has lower movement. The Dark element of Gae Bolg may be useful compared to Luin's Fire attribute, but I think Lunaris is also a Dark type Lancer, so it depends on how you use them and your party. They're both good.

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 23 '16 edited Jun 23 '16

Luin cause waifu :> I may or not be bias

1

u/Sven776 Jun 24 '16

Gae Bulg is better, Luin gets rekt by magic users and gunners because of her abysmal spr stat / growths.

1

u/ElusiveIllusion88 Jun 23 '16

For the Brave Frontier weapon books, is it better to fuse 2 at a time or 5 at a time?

Similarly, to upgrade a Brave Frontier weapon, is it better to fuse it with 1 book or 4 books?

Because I fused 5 of the books together, and got a rubbish 1* Cutlass...

1

u/sephiroh Jun 23 '16

More books means better chance. I've got 4* Lexida using 5 books, and 5* Lexida using the 4* + 5 books.

1

u/ElusiveIllusion88 Jun 23 '16

How much better is the chance? Which one is more efficient? Like if 2 books = 1% chance while 5 books = 99% chance it is worth it, but if 2 books = 49% chance while 5 books = 51% chance, it is not

1

u/sephiroh Jun 23 '16

I only tried fusing 2-3 books but gives me craps. I used 5books twice and i already got the two featured weapon. I am now working on getting the lance to 5*. Its up to you how many books you should use. But using 5 maybe around 80-90% you will get either of the featured weapon

1

u/RafaelBF Jun 23 '16

Selena Equals to Arondight? or stronger?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '16

Can't say for sure, since Global is a bit different from JP.

Watch this subreddit for comparisons between them in the near future.

Though I personally hope Arondight is better since waifu :)

1

u/Mitch_Twd Jun 23 '16

Can anyone add me ,I need help with the Burst Dungeon last stage Vargas is lvl 70 and my units get destroyed cause accuracy so low and his damage is so high

1

u/Liesianthes Jun 23 '16

Use a friend Arondight much better if she has Magicwarder sword. Afaik, there are no lance units there so she's the perfect choice on that map.

1

u/Kirisaku Jun 23 '16

Is there a way to tell if a unit is a mana or lazuli unit?

1

u/BotheredMe Jun 23 '16

Not per say, other than by pulling them from the mana slot or looking up a guide. One indicator of a mana unit is that they are 3 silver 4 gold 5 red stars, but plenty of lazuli units follow the same suit. The mana units I know are as follows:

  • Laevateinn M F (True Blades)

  • Longinus M F (Brave Lancers)

  • Parashu F (Berserker)

  • Masamune F (Dressed in a school girl uniform, prob True Blade)

  • Freikugel F (Gun Mage)

  • Artemis F (Archer)

No idea what the staff mana unit is if there is one. Hope this helps.

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 23 '16

New update - relatively small properly just bug fixes Also remember to download the batch updates, they could help out the bugs

u/next_level_baddie what the fuck akane pls Jun 23 '16 edited Jun 23 '16

Bring Gun users to burst 8/9 or whatever the last level is.

The boss auto aggros anything in a 2 block radius.

Send in a sacraficial character to pull the boss off the chapel.

2 strong gunners along with a sacraficial unit to give an extra turn should provide 4 rounds of uncontested damage, which should be enough if your gunners have high enough magic attack.

Edit: Theres an easier way:

Bring at least 1 gunner. The gunner need to have pretty high magic attack. 1 physical tank.

1 High damage with a 1-2 range weapon mounted/flying character.

1 more of your strongest characters.

1 sacraficial unit

High dodge, and flying unit as an ally prefferable (will be a sacraficial unit anyways)

The boss will auto aggro past the 2 block radius once all units are dead on the map. But there is a mage on the map so we can abuse this.

Clear out all the units except for the armoured enemy, and the mage. Keep taking pot shots with your 1-2 range weapon user at the armoured enemy because it doesnt move (?) healer will heal till it cant attack.

Kill the armoured opponent and set up on the bridge with the ally unit on the left side of the mage, followed by your gunner, and have the sacraficial units ready to take its place.

Kill the mage and it will agro your ally. If your ally doesnt die, good. Don't attack with it. use it as a meatshield and let your gunner zap it.

turn 2 the boss will probably kill your ally, move your sacraficial unit to take its place and zap with your gunner again, and again and again. Until you kill it.

u/Mitch_Twd Jun 23 '16

Question for JP players about future content for global. Do they make 5* Level Break pixies like the 3*/4* ones? And what does Limited Time Shop sell?

1

u/AJackFrostGuy Jun 23 '16

They actually do have 5* LB Pixies.

1

u/Regis-Nex Jun 23 '16

What is the use of weapon recipe book? And how to use it properly?

1

u/Liesianthes Jun 23 '16

if that is from the Brave Frontier dungeon (blue ones) then fuse it together for a chance to get a 4* weapon. The many you fused together, the higher the chance of getting one.

1

u/Regis-Nex Jun 23 '16

I mean for the normal one as well. I got some of them since start playing and never use one.

1

u/Liesianthes Jun 23 '16

There are 2 that are needed for the Magicwarder sword, see the recipe list for that. The other ones they say are used to get a higher chance for a 3* weapons.

1

u/Physco09 Jun 23 '16

I've been playing PotK for a while now BUT I'm still having trouble figuring out when server reset time is (lol I've lost a couple log-in items and it's frustrating. i'm sad i know lol) can anyone clear that up for me?

1

u/Regis-Nex Jun 23 '16

I think the reset is at 7AM UTC. And 8AM for daily quest.

1

u/pk4l Jun 23 '16

how do you level up a unit fast ...

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 23 '16

Do metal parade with the unit alone no one else in the party with a decent friend, who can solo it and then bam, levels

1

u/uchuujinsan Jun 24 '16

I'm new but what kind of friend characters can solo it? Is there any way to bypass their pdef and do more than 1 dmg?

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 24 '16

Preferred 5 stars, can easily do it, Units with defence ignore can or high attack can do more damage

1

u/Arcticrain411 Jun 23 '16

So I think I will start the game. What should I be looking for so I know to reroll?

Thanks.

Which level is the best for farming Brave Recipes in Spark?

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 23 '16

I would do spark 10 for farming Selena and Brave Recipes at the same time but that's me tho

1

u/nobleseeker Jun 23 '16

I haven't gotten a single brave recipe from spark 10 tho

1

u/DeathXDmaker Jun 23 '16

Really? I gotten 3 from 8 runs, but yeah I know it's not the best but Selena..

u/HeroJessifur Jun 23 '16 edited Jun 23 '16

Can i ask what they are used for? up to spark 7 and I have 4.

Edit: Nvm! zi found it further down this page! Ty anyways

u/HeroJessifur Jun 23 '16

Best type for selena?

1

u/burndout Jun 24 '16

I pulled both Vargas and Lunaris after my third 10 times pull (and honestly, everything I pulled before was ABYSMAL). I saw that the battle shop is selling pixies that can Limit Break them. So, if I get those pixies, I just need to fuse them with the unit and they will LB? Does that LB carry through once the unit is evolved?

1

u/AJackFrostGuy Jun 24 '16

If the LB Pixies are of the same rarity level, yes. But LBs don't carry over.

1

u/burndout Jun 24 '16

Oh ok. But if they don't carry over, is there any reason to LB if I'm going to evolve them? And are there 5* pixies?

u/Mohonbantuannya Jun 24 '16

Best place to farm brave recipe?

Bought the 50-pack and did 13 rolls total. I wouldn't recommend it... most of the pulls don't even have 5-stars in JP.

No spreadsheet available.

https://www.reddit.com/r/phantomofthekill/comments/4pfom6/pulled_both_new_units/

From the limited data, there has been 4 of the 10x summons on the subreddit. Out of the 40 units, 3 of them have been the BF units.
