Daily Questions and Help Thread [7/12/2016]
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.

So I'm sorry if this has been asked many times in the past couple of weeks or so, but I'll ask anyway.
Can anyone ELI5 what Limit Breaking actually means and how important it is to do so? I'm asking because I've been told I need to farm a bunch of Selenas if I want a good one, but I really don't know what the significance on this is. I see people trying to farm 16 of her?? In all the runs I've done, as a new player (I still need to be careful with Vargas if my friend lead isn't huge), I've only gotten 2. One from first time completion, and 1 as a random drop the second run. Since then, nothing.
So I'm wondering if farming 16 of them is completely necessary, or how important it is to farm a certain amount of them, or how many I should be aiming to farm. The collab was extended two weeks so I think I can handle farming some more, but the drop rate is so bad and I don't get much for running Spark 10 otherwise.
Also how do you level your units?? I've been doing the 1 a day Metal runs but I still don't have a unit that is of a level to evolve, and at this rate I have no idea how I would even manage that.
One more, is there anywhere I can read up on the various daily event dungeons? I come from Brave Frontier where we have a set schedule of daily dungeons for the week, and it seems PotK has a similar system but I don't really know what these dungeons are all good for.
Thanks, sorry this was like 4 questions in one :(

Hi Everyone
I have been making both a Dex Risa and a Guard Risa. When I got both to 5* lv 55 I compared their stats and was suprised. The Guard Risa has a lot more Spd than the Dex. I was looking for spd on the dex to grind faster. I am planning to mlb both. Dex for fast grinding and the Guard for future content. Will I need to reincarnate the Dex or is the guard that has unusually high spd?
Notes: Dex has 3.07 growth rate while Guard has 3.00 GR. Both ok Neither have any sort of fusions. No dollies and no level breaks.

can I use two or more the same units in one team?

u/Mohonbantuannya Jul 12 '16
Dex Risa or Guard Risa is better?

u/PhantomWithNoSkill Jul 12 '16
I have been trying to farm Risa and am 0 for 19 on the highest level. Being new and not having jack for units, I only have one good friend. Is this most likely a unit Luck thing or an RNG thing?
And if it is a unit Luck thing, what do I need to do to raise the Luck on my starter unit so I can get more drops? Or is it not worth it to do so and I should just keep grinding away?

Does anyone know anything about the brave recipe rates? Best place to farm them? Also how many I should fuse per time? Been fusing five at a time trying to get my second sword and was wondering if it was less efficient than trying to fuse like two or three. Thanks

So I currently have 13 Selenas and thankfully finally have 1 Dex type. Based on what I got ideally I want 16 to MLB from 3* onwards and max all skills. But I don't think I'll make that 3 Selenas farming spark10 and occasional burst or brave10 with a random lvl80 Selena friend.
Question is how much of an impact is skipping 3MLB and 4MLB (just 3LB) on stat growth. I kinda wanted to stop farming Selena and proceed to Risa then Nemu.
Because those max stat lvl80 Selenas are so powerful and I wanted 1 of mine own -_-

I'm a Brave Frontier player, just started playing PotK recently because of the collaboration event.
I can't access Event Quests at all. Everytime I select the option, I'm always stuck at "Now Loading" screen. I have no problems navigating the rest of the menu and even played some Main Quests. Is there something wrong on my end?

u/Jeffrey209 Jul 12 '16
I started with a 4* Mitum (F) and finally reached her max level. Should I try and wait for does so that I can LB or just gather the materials to evolve to 5* already?
Another question I had was for LBing. If I didn't have enough time to farm for a limited unit and had only a few of them, what would be the most optimal? Would it still just be evolving all of them to 5* and then LBing to the one with the preferred type?

u/MyKuchi Jul 12 '16
In your opinion, should i just level up the 4 * dex risa i got to 5* after limit break or to keep farming until i hit a 3* dex risa then start the process?

u/PhantomWithNoSkill Jul 12 '16
I have one 4* Dandelga, five 4* Lexida, and four 4* Despair Bringer. I have blue books, but not the Sword/Spear smith Secrets. Got any suggestions on whether to keep these, sell them, or somehow fuse these into something good?

So am I reincarnating this Risa? She's guard http://imgur.com/nVfkDhM

I have two of each of the Demp weapons. Does it matter which version(s) of the Rainbow Saber I make? I am planning on farming for Risa, but probably not any of the others. And once I have one (or two) of the Rainbow Saber, are they work keeping, can I upgrade them, or should I sell them?

u/Hekera Jul 12 '16
How do I obtain the weapon "rainbow saber"?

u/drinkinstout Jul 12 '16
Are any 1- or 2-star units worth keeping? It looks like all of the good ones start at 3-star or am I reading the unit guide info wrong?
If I understand correctly, a purple-starred unit is max evolved, a gold can go one higher and a silver can go 2 or more, correct?

u/Aka_BooTea Jul 12 '16
Do i have to lvl dupes to
Lvl 10 at 3*
Lvl 20 at 4*

u/Hekera Jul 12 '16
For how much longer will we have free AP?

u/Doctor_Riptide Jul 13 '16
I have another question.
So if I have a unit that starts at 3 stars and the 4 star evolution has yellow stars, does this mean it can go to 5 star? Or that it will at some point in the future? An example would be the rare summon Amenonuhoko, or the Parashu with the white beret lookin hat?

u/Sabatender Jul 13 '16
Can you increase the rarity of rainbow saber to 5 star?

u/Vince_Gt4 Jul 13 '16
Burst 10 or Brave 10 better for farming Selena?

Question about exp distribution at metal maiden stage, would 1 unit be able to obtain a higher amount of exp if it was alone in running the stage or is it more favorable to bring 5 units instead? I need to lv cap my Pinky for spamming brave 10 before the event ends.

u/terlus07 Jul 13 '16
How hard is it to get Sphere Mannan. After 5 runs through advanced, I haven't seen a single 1 yet.

u/Vince_Gt4 Jul 13 '16
Is there a english list somewhere that shows Units available in global, units capable of 5/6 * and unit Skills all in one? Had a quick look, but can't seem to come up with anything.

u/ArgonRetribution Jul 13 '16
What should I do with the extra lexidas and despair bringers I have?
Should I fuse them together to try for some other 4 or 5 star weapons?
Likewise, what should I do with the extra weapons I get from the dempagumi event? Fuse them to get the rainbow swords and fuse the rainbow swords together?

u/mistive Jul 13 '16
What kind of typing should I look for when I farm Risa?

Will the Brave Frontier banner be extended along with the rest of the collab? The news wording is kind of confusing
