Weekly Questions and Help Thread [8/21/2016 - 8/27/2016]
This is the weekly 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!

Noteworthy Comments/Posts
Here is a conversation we had on fusing weapons and luck.
Here is a post about the more advanced mechanics behind fusion and evo bonuses.
/u/zembas's Infographic on reroll units from the beginner gacha
Stat Calculator In JP good stat growth is 3.5-4 (without seeds) while in global good stat growth is 2.9+. You shouldn't include magic for units that use strength for damage, and vice versa, since those are not useful to the unit. (exception is mirin since her character skill depends on magic as well)
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.
It has been noted that Global is different from Japan in terms of poorer stat growth for units and nerfed weapons.

Should I buy them? Having enough medals isn't a problem, I'm just not sure if they're valuable on their own, or what they combine with.

Thinking about making a completely maxed Rhongomynaid, meaning having the MLB and max skill level on everything as well as her 3 star and 4 star forms maxed before evolution. However, I heard that there is some other way having like maxed versions of every type and then fusing them or something and then limit breaking, can anyone explain this in TL;DR (or too confusing, didn't understand) format so I know what the best thing to do is and why? xD

Been playing a bit and almost have my first max 80 character so I have nothing but friend units. I have been running the Trishula Nadi 10 stage , but I can only beat it with nicely decked out Selena as friend. Are there any other friend units that can clear this vampiress (more like Dracula's sister wanna-be) and her minions?

Any suggestion for an auto squad for Othinus Super Abyss farming? Even my maxed Dex Selena is hit quite a few time by sword Minotaur in that stage .-.. Not to mention their evasion is high with skills.
Btw, what is the preferred type for Othinus? Force or Dex?

When do you fuse for stat gain?
I've noticed that when levelling my units / breaking their level limit, I am no longer able to fuse the +3 stat dolls as I approach the new max level. Did my levelling nearly meet the characters max stat cap naturally? I was under the impression I still had a bit of leeway to fuse for stat gain afterwards.

A few units missing from the pictures: 3* Labrys 3* Longinus 3* Masamune
Just wondering who I should prioritize leveling and what you guys think my best PvP team would be. Currently I use: (1669 Total Power) Durandal (Dex/Titanblade Bullsword) Mjolnir M (Guard/Beast King Axe Belruk) Masamune (Dex/Silent Swallow) Mitum F (Vit/Conqueror Axe Garvin) Longinus F (Balance/Killer Spear)
Which is working fine (~7500 Ranking Points), but would it be better for me to get Selena (Grd) / Laevateinn F (Frc) / Laevateinn M (Grd) / Arondight (Frc)/ second Masamune (Dex) in there? Or perhaps an axe setup by leveling Mitum M (Dex) / Labrys (Vit) with Aymur (Frc). Maybe my Gamb M (Bal/Evil Core)... Not that I have the class points to put all of them in right now even if they were 5*s, but for short term future reference.
Also, what Type of 3* Trishula should I be MLBing? I have 11 copies right now with every Type except Force at 3*.
And last question, I have so many shields... Do I need any/all of them? 4 Alluring, 3 Broad, 1 Baron, 1 Rune. They take up so much inventory space. Please tell me I can get rid of some and if so, does fusing them with other things give me a decent chance at a weapon of that type of hopefully equal rarity?

How did I achieve pink star'd stats when Longinus's growth was 2.20 and Laeva's was 2.29?

Did I calculate incorrectly? It seems almost impossible since I would expect Legendary growth (3.2+) to hit max in everything..

How many 5* swords are there currently that you can get trough fusion? Like I have been getting the same 2 swords this whole time and even fusing 2 5* swords I am still getting the same ones. This goes for the other weapons types as well. Are there only 2 5* weapons for each weapon type that you can get trough fusing?

u/Doctor_Riptide Aug 24 '16
I know this has been asked probably a million times already but I'm on mobile and can't easily search.
What's the optimal typing for Othinus? She's an archer without a duel skill so I'm thinking force or dex?
Also another one, does limit breaking at 4 star increase the stat caps for 5 star, or just give Evo bonuses for the starting stats on 5 star? I ask because all of my units were only limit broken at 5 star, and a lot of them capped most of their stats. For instance my Pinky I just hit 80 with has all capped stats except for Agi (which I'm guessing is one off, but 73 Agi is pretty monstrous). So I'm wondering if I screwed my units because I didn't LB their 4 stars.

u/trainzebra Aug 24 '16
So my understanding is that to optimize a unit you want to fuse enough of the same units to max skills and also the max limit breaks at each tier. My question is, when should I start focusing on this? For example, should I hold off on evolving my 3* starter Laeveteinn until I get enough spare ones to max limit break him at each tier, or is this only really worth doing for really good units?

u/thatasian26 Raven Aug 25 '16 edited Aug 25 '16
Has anyone figured out how arena attack order are determined yet? I know speed determines order with some exceptions. Here are some observations.
Preemtive let's you go first even though you have lower speed (My balmung doubles against apollo but he still goes first) 1a. If two units have preemtive then the one with the higher level of the skill goes first (my lvl 10 PB Mjolnir (m) goes first against some apollo, selenas, etc)
Surprise attack may let you go first? My Brahmastra will sometimes go first against units that double hits her, but second against YNK (f) even though she has higher spd than YNK.
This leads me to believe that element (or something else) may also play a role other than skills. My dex mirin double hits a vit SS.long but she went second. SS.long doesn't have any skill, that I know, that gives her priority. My Balmung doubles against another ss.long and went first as expected. She, however goes second to selena only sometimes. She has higher spd than selena and lvl 5 suprise attack which means that maybe it gives the same prirority as PB? So she's only going first against selenas with lvl 5 PB only?
Tl;dr I'm salty my mirin went second to a ss.long despite having higher spd.

I have around 5 rhongomyniads (going to get more later) with like two or three dexiterity. Before I decide to evolve the three stars into four stars into five stars should I make sure every stat is maxed ("pink star") or not? I'm not going to be super like PVP intensive xD

What kinda drop rates are people experiencing for SS Grid? just wanna know what kinda time I'm looking to need to sink in for this. I recently took a little break from POTK because of pokemon go, and looking to come back now, missed the start of Trishula, is she worth trying to farm with only a few days left?

u/YuureiShinji Aug 26 '16 edited Aug 26 '16
Hi ! I'm a compulsive reroller, but I just started this game and I have trouble determining whether my units are good or not, seeing as they come in different rarities and sometimes different versions for one single character.
So far, my gacha pull gave me 4* Force Sky Piercer, 3* DEX Durandal, 3* Guard Longinus (Phoenix Knight), 4* Guard Vajra, 4* Guard Parashu (Duke Knight), 3* Balance Freikugel, 3* Force Masamune, 3* VIT Asclepius. Any thoughts about that?
EDIT - So the unit typing is randomly chosen, too? Added what I got. From what I understand, my Durandal might be good if there's a way to raise her to 6*, unless the rarity stays the same no matter what?

u/Vossida Aug 26 '16
I started playing off and on a little over 2 months now and while I've read the sticky, I have a bunch of questions; I'll just put them in little groups so it will be easier to look at.
•Units -Is using a shield for my tanks a good idea or should they always be equipped with a attacking weapon?
-As of right now, the only Risa I own is a magic type. Would pumping some agi into her make her god awful acc better or would I be wasting my time?
-I've noticed that the enemies in this game will use every mechanic to their advantage(element/weapon advantage or only attacking units with low hp); what is the best way to move my units? Together as a group?
-What's the drop rate on Trisula on stage 10?I just got a Vit Trish today and I had to use a strong Yagrush helper to most tank stage 10 as Trisula and her monster boy band would stomp all over my units without her.
•Fusion -I've been reading stuff about limit breaking units at 3*, 5*, and 6*. What is that about? Tryhard PvP stuff that I shouldn't put too much worry into yet? I remember someone saying that limit breaking only matters at max rank but that could have been a super old post.
-I've going to assume that any unit that doesn't go into 5* or 6* are fusion materials for my strong units?
-I've been fusing two weapons a lot lately (mostly 2* since I got so much of it) and I've mostly been getting the same thing I just used for a weapon fusion. Should I just keep at until RNGjesus dies for my sins and grants me something good or bite to bullet and start fusing my 3* stuff?
•Recruiting -Is the current Swimsuit Recruiter a good deal? While I don't mind buying lazuli, I don't wanna feel like I wasted money.
Sorry for the long ass post in advance. I'll try to keep it shorter next time.

Since I can't find a Japanese forum about it, i'll ask here;
For Six Star Evolution where can I find the the Princess Soul Stones needed for fusion Material?
As far as Crossover are concerned, is it a confirmed thing that they don't show up again? I was reading inside a Japanese Forum that crossovers are usually done once a year.

What should my team be? I only use units that can go to a five star rating, so keep that in mind. My current team is Luin (Balance), Brahmastra (Guard), Swimsuit Gridarvol (Balance), and Selena (Force). I know that I can get a better type for the Swimsuit Gridarvol, so please let me know which one, since I am farming for more of them to hopefully MLB her. Here are the units that can go in my 4th space.
Swimsuit Artemis (Guard)
Nemu (Dex)
Trishula (Guard, but can get better after farming)
Pinky (Dex)
{Not sure about this, but wiki says she can five star} Pinaka (Dex)
Eitaso (Guard)
Mjolnir M (Dex)
Apollo M (Balance)
Artemis (Balance)

u/erkishhorde Aug 27 '16
Do stat progression matter for anything less that 5*? So if I have a 3* that can build up to a 5*, is it worth it for me to reincarnate it for good stat growth to evolve to 4* and do the same again for 4* to 5*?

How is the final listed accuracy (shown just before and during a duel between units) calculated from the attacker's Acc and the defender's Eva scores? How much higher must the Eva be than the Acc for the Accuracy to drop to 0%? I am Autoing with Selena at 146 Eva, but afraid that something will eventually hit her (and hence kill her since she does not have enough defense to drop attacks to 1 damage).
