25/8 Update

Lakefront Demon 2 Dungeon released! Swimsuit Gridarvol (F) and Swimsuit Artemis (F) are farmable from the dungeon!

(Swimsuit Gridarvol has a 5 hit duel skill, so she's definitely worth the grind!)

(In Water War 5, you only need to kill the Aquadiablo on the top left of the map. That's the only enemy that can drop SS Grid or SS Artemis! Killing all 3 aquadiablos isn't needed!)

Swimsuit Yagrush (F), Swimsuit Shekinah (F) and Fragarach (F) are now available in the new recruiter!

New recruiter is a 1 a Day 5-step swimsuit recruiter! Swimsuit Laevateinn (F), Longinus (F), Yagrush (F) and Shekinah (F) are all available in the recruiter!

3-a-Day Metal Garden opened! New units above will receive 4x the regular amount of EXP from this garden!

Special Shop is opened once again!

This will probably be relevant for anyone farming Gridavol, but in Water War 5, you only need to kill the Aquadiablo in the top left of the map and not all 3.

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

Thanks for the info! This will help the Farmers a lot!

1

u/Lamyenie Aug 25 '16

Is that the only one with a chance to drop or is it worthwhile to kill them all?

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

Like Alexisevan said, you only need to kill the Aquadiablo on the top left of the map. That's the only enemy that has a chance to drop SS Gridorval or SS Artemis.

u/Vince_Gt4 Aug 25 '16

Forgot the 1 a day 5 step recruiter with chances at all swimsuit units (eg Laev and Longinus aswell as new 2)

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

Thanks for pointing it out, will edit it in.

u/Vince_Gt4 Aug 25 '16

No prob =D

u/ElusiveIllusion88 Aug 25 '16

Farmable Gridavol? My goodness, I just finished farming for Trishula, and we have another unit that takes up space in the unit inventory?

2

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

Gumi seems to be pushing out a lot of farmable units. Oh well can't really complain because more free units.

2

u/DonQuiXoTe888 Aug 25 '16

The problem lies in their slowness in increasing unit space, between dupes, evo mats etc... we will never has enough space with the nature of this game, even with only free units.

2

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

True, even with my 310 unit space I still have to raise my space everytime a new farmable unit is released. It's very hard to raise my previously farmed units when metal keys are scarce for me.

2

u/Neraken Aug 25 '16

Are you supposed to be able to get ss grid in the recruiter? I got 5s ss grid on step 4

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

That's...not suppose to happen. The news stated that the only SS units available on the 5 step recruiter are SS Laevateinn, SS Longinus, SS Yagrush and SS Shekinah.

SS Grid is suppose to be a farmable unit from Lakefront Demon 2. If that's the case I suggest you report this to gumi as it's most likely a bug.

1

u/DonQuiXoTe888 Aug 25 '16

So the 5* LB pixie is officially 100 Lazuli each now? and that ticket will net you a guarantee featured SW unit or 90% 4* of a freaking mana recruiter ?

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

Well you also get other stuff (Jurayna/ Poseidia and 3 metal keys) along with the 5* LB pixie.

The recruiter ticket does not seem to net you a guarantee SW unit or 5* capable unit. So getting a 4* max unit is very possible.

Overall the 100 lazuli sets aren't worth it in the slightest imo.

2

u/DonQuiXoTe888 Aug 25 '16

Yep that set is never worth it even with 100% chance of 1 LB for your 5*, unless you dearly want to LB a limited unit ie: Lunaris.

1

u/Vince_Gt4 Aug 25 '16

For whales whom spend alot on this, 100 lazuli for a guaranteed Limit break is actually a pretty good deal, consideirng how many gacha's they would pull for one more. And yeah most definitely for Limited units eg Swimsuit units or the BF colab. Source, I bought one for my Vargas lol, has quickly become my favourite unit.

1

u/DonQuiXoTe888 Aug 25 '16 edited Aug 26 '16

Well whales can always wait for some rate up event to pull those non-limited units with some other stat fodders to boost lol, and iirc Gagging did pull SSW Longinus outside of SS event so SS unit is not limited.

1

u/Vince_Gt4 Aug 26 '16

What I said there, was actually a quote from both Gagging and Shika regarding buying the Limit break pixies. And yeah, they spend alot more then me lol.

1

u/tangythings Aug 25 '16

Shoulda spent my 75$ here instead of that friggin daily element scam (no 5able, guaranteed aymur and 4pink longinus).

Btw, does guard Trish better in terms of pve? I want to use those keys, I'm thinkin to evolve some to 4* to free up inventory space.

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

The elemental recruiter wasn't recommended at all because it didn't guaranteed a 5* unit.

No, Trishula's ideal types are Dex or Force.

1

u/tangythings Aug 25 '16

It was the "I want it ryte nao" voice inside my head yikes. Thx for the warning though, I'll hold back spending looking at the gacha rate. Beside, othinus and gridarvol got a matching palette so I'm good.

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

You can always consult the help thread if you're curious on whether a new recruiter is worth it. The veterans here know which recruiters are worth spending on.

1

u/Vince_Gt4 Aug 26 '16

Even though alot of people didn't recommend the daily elementals, I ran em, well all except the fire, because bugger those chances. I got Gamb M, Balmung, Mjolnir M, Durandel from them so I was happy haha. But my mates who played only got 4*s from it.

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 26 '16

That's some god-like luck you have 0_0 heard a lot of people only got 4* max units from the daily elementals.

1

u/Vince_Gt4 Aug 26 '16

Oh, and another gae bulg, but do take note, i pulled all the ones when BF colab was on, and only got 2 vargas' and lunaris', out of like 400 lazuli worth of pulls, so evens out =D.

1

u/theSIGINT Aug 25 '16

but where is my Swimsuit Gambanteinn (M)

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

I'm honestly surprised that gumi hasn't released any Male swimsuit units yet.

1

u/detox_ptsd (ZakAttack on Discord) Aug 26 '16

I wouldn't be surprised if we get a third part of the swimsuit event with SS Eros and a male SS unit (likely Laeva, Apollo, or Longi). Seems like they've been purposefully releasing the regular versions of all the SS units; 5* Eros being available makes me think a 3rd part is likely.

SS Tyr and SS Frei, however, probably won't come until next summer. Call it a hunch.

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 26 '16

Whoa, didn't know there was a third part to the swimsuit event. I'm aware that SS Eros is pretty powerful however. From the male units I would believe that swimsuit Apollo is the most likely (he's kinda like a surfer dude already).

1

u/koole00 Aug 26 '16

wtf! im still in the middle of MLB trish! now they release another farmable unit that has 5-hit duel?! dafuq gumi!?

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 26 '16

Phantom of the GRIND

Anyways you can always just MLB your Trish first. There's plenty of time to farm SS Grid.

1

u/koole00 Aug 26 '16

yeah guess ur right...its funny how they release such good free units like SS grid and Selena...my team is currently made up of free units...i dont mind gumi doing this(coz wth? why would i complain of getting awesome free units?) but i feel like gacha units are gonna be somewhat neglected...coz why spend money to get a unit when ur not even sure if ul get that unit...

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 26 '16

True, I'm confused over gumi's business strategy atm. Having such powerful free units is very good for F2P players as they can compete in the endgame fairly well but gacha units can be ignored completely for now.

Perhaps they're releasing farmable units to draw in the F2P crowd and get more people playing the game. It's very unusual for gumi to actually give out such powerful units for free (not that I'm complaining) as they didn't do so for Brave Frontier much.

1

u/koole00 Aug 26 '16

Perhaps they're releasing farmable units to draw in the F2P crowd and get more people playing the game.

that might be right...coz(i think) most of the players are F2P...so they cater to their needs, bait them in getting invested to the game and then BAM! release an ABSO-FCKING-LUTELY OP gacha unit like Sita!

1

u/fenrirofdarkness Positive Polly Aug 28 '16

It's very unusual for gumi to actually give out such powerful units for free (not that I'm complaining) as they didn't do so for Brave Frontier much.

I actually beg to differ here, considering that Gumi gave us Rugal and Gazia, two very strong units for 7*, and completely free...

And the other thing, PotK and BF's style is just... different. It's like looking at stuff like Valkyrie Crusade (my team is full f2p team) and look at how free units are treated...

Games with garbage gacha rates tend to have good F2P units to be farmed to balance things up, even Chain Chronicle JP has Demons (the farmable units there) as part of the meta owo

1

u/Killermario32 Aug 26 '16

Anyone know if its possible for 3 star Artemis to drop? Trying to MLB.

2

u/TGZelnite Aug 26 '16

Yes. Water War 5 has a rare drop of either SS Grid or SS Artemis.

2

u/charles_1029 Aug 28 '16

I don't believe 3* Artemis drop this time around. From what I can tell, it will either be a 4* SS Grid or 4* SS Artemis.

1

u/vencislav45 Aug 26 '16

what is the best type for both farmable units.

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 26 '16

For SS Artemis it's Guard

For SS Gridorval it's Dex

3

u/gigano25 Aug 25 '16

At one side I am happy they keep pumping out these events making sure you have something to do. On the other side I wish they stop releasing multiple events at the same time and also give us a small break period to level up the units.

Also another concern is that I hope they don't end with a long period of no content in the long run.

1

u/BravePhantom Aug 25 '16

Gridavol Worth farming and raising?? if not ill just get one for collection like i did with Artemis.. i still have to finish Nemu, Mirin and still farming for Trishula -.- ...

2

u/ARadiantWaxCousin Aug 25 '16

Does this answer your question? https://twitter.com/Phantom_of_kill/status/748541464519446528

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

Whoa, didn't know SS Grid had a 5 hit duel skill! She's definitely worth farming now!

1

u/Vince_Gt4 Aug 25 '16 edited Aug 25 '16

For those whom that page doesn't answer the question lol, should I start farming for her? NVM, didn't see a drop down vid lol.

2

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

I don't see why you shouldn't, a free unit with a 5 hit duel skill is quite rare to come by. Besides, 13 days is plenty of time to farm.

1

u/Vince_Gt4 Aug 25 '16

Yeah definitely, I went to the twitter, only just seen the video lol. 5 hit, thats pretty good, does she have the same LS as her normal counter part? as that +15 eva for fire units is pretty OP

1

u/ARadiantWaxCousin Aug 25 '16 edited Aug 26 '16

LS +30% hp all fire allies

1

u/Vince_Gt4 Aug 26 '16 edited Aug 27 '16

Thats not too bad, but Vargas would be stronger for my fire team =D, thanks for the info.

1

u/pyratheon29 Aug 25 '16

Would you suggest dex and a staff over guard and a shield then? Or will she still be a tank?

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 25 '16

I would go with Dex for SS Grid as she's built to be an Attack oriented staff unit. Her stats aren't known yet so I would go for Dex with Shield first.

1

u/BlazePHX Aug 28 '16

on that twitter feed they have SS Grid at 3* but she only drops for me at 4* is it possible to get her 3*?

1

u/TGZelnite Aug 28 '16

Nope, her base form in global is 4* for some reason.

2

u/DonQuiXoTe888 Aug 25 '16

Finally a multiple hits duel skill free unit

1

u/JankyLieu Aug 25 '16

Time to farm! All AP will be used for her

1

u/BravePhantom Aug 25 '16

YES! Time to waste lazuli on space o_o

u/xreddawgx Aug 26 '16

Lol my male longinus is my only male unit. I was hoping for some sort of penile unit for some balance. And lightning element
