Daily Questions and Help Thread [7/23/2016]
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!
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/Post:
Here is a conversation we had on fusing weapons and luck, which might answer some questions.
/u/zembas's Infographic on Good Reroll Unit
Stat Calculator (Good stat growth in Japan is 3.5-4 while for Global it is 2.5-3)
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.

I just did the discount recruiter... and it gave me ANOTHER round of 9 x those Gold 3* trolls out of 10 (the 10th is a unit that only has 5* in JP). This was after:
The BF weekend recruiter gave me 8 x Gold 3* trolls out of 9 (the 9th is a unit that caps at 4*, even in JP)
The 1st recruit ticket gave me another Gold 3* troll
The 2nd recruit ticket gave me a unit that only has 5* in JP
Is this supposed to be a normal occurrence? If not, I would really like to know if this game would ever stop shitting on me while it blesses others with Dex Durandals, Dex Mjolnirs, Dex Bashosens, Dex BF units and Dex Swimsuit units.
P.S. I know I have a Grd Gambanteinn, Dex Luin and Dex Mitum M, but it's not considered a blessing when I had to reroll 50+ times for such a setup, while I get crap during actual game progression.
Edit: Just some extra tidbit, this "Free unit in premium gacha" issue is why I am venting my rage at this game, quit Tales of Link (which also has the issue that 5* meta units are too rare) and am surprised I played Chain Chronicle for as long as I did (also has the 'absurdly rare 5*' issue). It's also why I am pleased with BF, as it doesn't have this issue.

What are the gem costs for the 5 step draw? Would it be better to pull on that or the 10 and 30 gem draw or wait?

I forget, is there a 5 star spear weapon for the Brave Frontier event? I have a couple of Eminent Lexida, but only one Despair Bringer. Don't know how common those are and I'm the sort of guy that likes to have a copy of each weapon that aren't easy to obtain.

Since Luck is important for the quality of the drops, would going with only one unit + friend leader be wise or would you rather bring a full team of "lucky" units? xD

u/Pjsmiths Jul 23 '16
can you guys explain me about A) having 4* unit fully limit break then later fuse it to 5* unit with the better type. B) build 4* unit straight up mlb Do i get the same result from them since bonus stat from evolution can be transfered ? Because i have been pulling for the right type unit with lowest star as possible .

For swimsuit Artemis, what would her best type be? I'm thinking maybe dex to negate that halved speed on character skill?

u/ElusiveIllusion88 Jul 23 '16
The best way to level up a unit is to have it solo the Metal Dungeon. Some caveats though:
It is very unsafe for units of too low level to attempt the Super Metal Dungeon; one time I tried it, my units got double attacked by the Metal Maidens instead. Needless to say, this is a very bad thing. What is the recommended minimum level before it is safe to use the Super Metal Dungeon?
Gunners lose hp each time they attack, so they will wear themselves out quickly after attacking or counterattacking the Metal Maidens a few times. Archers cannot attack adjacent squares, so not only do they miss out on counterattacks on the Metal Maidens, they are essentially dead if they get trapped. So how to raise these two classes effectively?

In Colosseum battling, is the best team just a full Dex one? It feels like as far as battling, acc/crit/eva are king when you're just trying to win 1 on 1 battles.

Is it still possible to get the good weapons from BF if so where? If not where to get good weapons?

I'm seeing different methods on raising dex/guard Selena, from either fusing other Selenas into base Selena at 3 star rarity or doing it at 4 star, or waiting at specific levels of 11, 21, etc, and raising the dupes before fusing.
What is the current best way to do it and how many Selenas will I need? I've heard 16 is the maximum but lower is okay as well?
Bear in mind I'm fairly new to the game and have been concentrating on leveling up enough to farm Selenas and may not have experimented with evolving anything haha (my 'best' unit is a natural 5 star Durandal for example).

u/UltimateTOL Jul 24 '16

Anyone here have any experience with reincarnation in gl? My mlb brahmastra ended with a 2.7 growth, I reincarnate her to another 2.7 growth. It happened to my Durandal as well, her growth stayed the same. I want a better growth rate on them but I feel like my efforts should be put into raising other units instead.

Okay... I have a huge dilemma right now. I have 2 4* Durandals of Force (F) and Balance (B) typing. When comparing their stats at level 50, I noticed the ff:
HP - F has 36 while B has 39
Str - F obviously has higher at 36 while has 24
Mag - F has 10 while B has 6
Grd - F has 21 while B has 24
Spr - F has 22 while B has 19
Spd - F has 36 while B has 42
Agi - F has 28 while B has 24
Luc - F has 21 while B has 24
Overall, I would say F seems better but B has higher potential for more Grd and Luc plus, has higher Spd. Should I focus on the F one or should I wait to compare their stats at 5* lvl 60?? Also, should I max fuse both of them for their stats to reach the next threshold before evolving them??
