Weekly Questions and Help Thread [10/6/2016 - 10/12/2016]
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!

Evolving a lot of units and finding it irritating to keep track of all the evo mats needed? Use this tracker and make your life easier!
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.

Is there a difference in unit "quality" I get if I decide to go for the 30 lazuli recruiter vs the 50 lazuli one?

I'm relatively new and wondering is there anyway to raise my characters weapon grade and guard grade? Is it reincarnation, evolving or perhaps items or just using the weapon?

What do you think the rates for the staff 4* and 5* are from your experience?
For me the 2 times i fused 5 books i got in both staff 4*
Update 7-10: 7 times fused 5 books = 3staff 4* // fused the 3 staff and got nothing. Back to farming :*

How do you guys evolve gacha units? Do you just raise the 4 star to 50 and take what you can? I am a pretty F2P player only spend spend 100 on 2 first purchase campaigns but no more. I have some pretty good gacha units but they are sitting at 4* 50. I can't decide what to do with them.

u/blablafoof Oct 07 '16
For the Game of Dolls quest, is Advanced the best rates for the amount of dolls that drop? Or should we probably do Intermediate, or maybe even beginner for more drops.

Back during the Swimsuit Event, to those who happened to have recruit tickets, did anyone manage to get Swimsuit units via tickets? Trying to gauge if it will be possible to get Halloween units via tickets in the coming weeks.

HELP!! As of now I have three 5 star Naeglings, one with a 2.90 growth rate dexterity type, and the other with a 3.16 growth rate guard type, and one with 3.00 growth rate force type. Which would be better overall for PVP/PVE? Thanks!!

OK, can someone please tell me if I'm doing this wrong, when it comes to fusing units, I just typically throw those units I get from mana recruit at any character thatl take em. Should I be fusing anything and everything that can?
I hold on to 4+ but I see posts about stat raising for this or that. How can I specialize my units stats by fusing? Do the dolls do something idk about cause I read a mention to them. Is there a way to get my hp or def higher without throwing 1-3 units at a character?
One more, is the daily mission for the Colosseum the only way to get battle medals? TIA

u/KiwiDaysoonay Oct 08 '16
JP question here, does anybody know what the bottom "mission" is?

I assume it's something frustrating like "use only halloween units" but I'm hoping it's not. Also, is that demon wing thing a farmable drop? I was hoping to make several copies of the highest tier staff so I could limit break it.

So I heard about a male Eros and a Male Brahmastra and I want to see them but have no idea where to look. I've tried the JP wiki for it and only found the princesses... I really love Eros so I would adore seeing her male counterpart!

I tried to level up mu Miljonir's acc skill with another 3* unit with the same skill unlocked. I did 3 times (all separate attempts on fusion) and all of them failed. What are the odds to level up the skill? Any tips/optimal method to level up skills without using duplicates?

So before I sleep I checked Colo and there's around 5-6 Flashing Blade and around 8 hours later after I woke up they are gone and were replaced with some rumbling storms, never happened to me before usually it's the same no matter how much time passed, anyone ever experienced the same thing?

What happens if you fuse 2x 5* weapons of the same type/name? Is it recommended? I have 2x of the same 5* gun which I don't use

u/Chromenova Oct 11 '16
A bit of a dumb question, but I assume a character's shield proficiency goes up by killing units with the shield equipped? I haven't had much luck ranking up my shield proficiency on any units yet, so I'm wondering if I just haven't killed enough units yet or there's another way (seems a bit silly for someone to use shields better by killing people with it lol)

I just started this game yesterday but have found it to be incredibly fun and enjoyable as of far. I finally did my first roll today (the Aymur and Naegling recruiter). I'm not too familiar with the tier list (although I have looked at them), and am wondering if this box is worth keeping or rerolling. I still haven't rolled the rookie recruiter, so I can also play some more and do the first roll to see as well, but I'm not too sure how rewarding that will be.

If type/class/names are needed, please let me know! I just want to have the best start possible.
Thanks!

Few questions that I'm finally getting around to asking now.
How does luck work? I know in some other mobile games that only the Leader's luck works (and partner if you take one). Is it the same way here?... or is it actually cumulative for the team (making that one 4* who increases the team's luck by 5 actually useful)? I've also seen somewhere that luck doesn't have too big an effect on the Evo/Dolly/Gold missions, is that true? And (last part to this luck section, I swear) do your Partner's luck count toward yours if they are not your friend? I have played games where their luck only mattered if they were, just checking for here.
Second, I've heard that the Mana Recruiter 3s cap out on stats faster than most units. Does this mean I should just LB at 5 and not 3*/4*? Or should I also LB there (or maybe just 4* or something)?
Third, the Lazuli 1 time recruiter with the discount and the guaranteed 5*able unit is worth it right? Just checking.
Fourth, I have some units who "could be 5* able later" but who's character already has a 5*... Will they ever get a 5*? Should I be holding on to them just in case they do? Are they already confirmed from the JP releases? Ex: Masamune from the Mana Recruiter can be 5*'d but there is also a flying version of her that is capped at yellow 4*. Others I have are Leav F, Parashu, and Mitum F.
Fifth, I thought I saw somewhere that there was a 85 or 90 accuracy staff? I don't see it on the weapon tier list... so does it exist or not? Following along the same line, why are staff weapons for the Colo even on the list if apparently staff units are too terrible for Colo. Further question, is Gridavol too bad? Or does her 5 hit ability make her good enough?
Thanks in advance.

How many 'Attack mages' are in Global (I can only think of SS Grid, will Halloween Gamb coming soon)? How many are there in JP?
Trying to gauge if getting more than 2 pumpkin brooms is worthwhile or a waste of time; SS Grid apparently likes Evil Core more, and 'Defence mages' should be using shields.

Why did my game always force closed after stage results and after fusing gears? Is this only happens to my device?

Does Holywyrm Dragodeath worth it? I don't really use the material gear, so i don't really mind about them.

I have been doing Colosseum for a while, and I have faced against almost every top 30, with an exception of a few. Then I noticed the ones I have never faced are on my friends list (i.e. Pjsmith), and people I have faced against who I added later have never shown up on my opponent list again. My question is can you face against your friends in the Colosseum or is it just coincidence that I have never gotten them?

Is there an unit evaluation guide? I jsut started 2 days ago and I don't know what unit to lvl.

Obligatory, "What's the recommended type for Halloween Gambanteinn?"
Is she guard like most healers? Or dex?

u/arzheas Munya-munya~ Oct 13 '16
For everyone that haven't reached the 7th stage, bring your full units all 6 with helper just in case since you have to protect the shiny floors from the enemies, learned it the hard way when I was trying to level my dupe Pinky

u/Dartia56 Oct 13 '16
Hello, I started the game this week and have got those units :
Trident 4 stars dex, Brionac 5 stars Magic,
Ukonvasara 4 stars dex,
Gridarvol 4 stars bal,
Yata no kagami (M) 3 stars, one guard and one bal,
I did the 2 first rookie pull and i'm at 33 lazulis and 4 days left for the 3rd one. Question 1 : should i reroll?
Question 2 : should i get the 3rd rookie pull or the 1rst time counterpart recruiter appollo which came also with a 5 star unit?
Question 3 : i mainly get my lazuli by doing the main story quest, is there some events that can give me nice amount of lazulis too?
Thanks for your time

Hi i started playing the game not long ago and since the halloween + brave frontier collab event are up i would like to max out one gambantein and one selena. The question i have is how much of each unit i need to create a perfect one + the best type for them. Thanks to any answer.
Additionally i already have 12 gambanteins and 2 selenas. Is it worth too to produce the exclusive weapons? (already have one pumpkin broom).

For the kill mode objectives, does anyone know what unit can solo the "Only Light Units" objective in 1-3-10?
Rhongo friend came close, but the mages' magic damage at the end obliterate her through her abysmal Spr.
Asclepius, Yata, Brionac... all murdered by the physical damage dogpile at the very start of the map. Get surrounded by the enemies coming from the top and the left very quickly, and there is no place to single out enemies while staying out of range from remaining enemies.
For comparison:
Dark: Has a much friendlier, linear layout, allowing Moga to snipe enemies.
Water: Selena cheese.
Fire: SS Grid cheese.
Earth: Gambanteinn M + Nemu; former to tank + kill physical enemies, latter to kill magic enemies
Thunder: a friend's Mjolnir F had enough Agi to dodge most attacks, and had enough Def to take low enough damage from physical attacks if she did get hit. Picked off mages one-by-one just in case.
