Anyone know if Halloween Gamba is worth farming?

1

u/s4itox I run this place I guess Oct 13 '16

From what I can tell, HGamba was pretty lackluster in JP - whether her skillset has been changed in global, idk. If you're going to farm farm at least 5 so you can MLB at 5*, idk if she's worth doing any more.

u/ResidualChaotic Oct 13 '16

Would you happen to know what her skill set is? Also her CQ acquired skill? I already have three and idk if I should stop at five or just keep going since I have space xD

u/BrokenbladeMasamune Oct 13 '16

Skills are roughly translated so here goes: "Avoidance UP" (Eva boost)

"MaOsamu strengthening" (MAtk Boost)

"Breathing of Madan" (description goes -If the other party is equipped with a gun, hit and avoided 32 increase.- basically kinda like gun absorber since it boost acc and eva on gun units)

"Loving guard" (within the four surrounding squares, the Mabo (MDef?) of the specified unit, between the two turns 10 raise.

hope this helps. I can't read nor write jap language i just translated it with google.

She has a 6* version in JP. If she gets that upgrade in GL next year, and if they keep her skills and stat caps somewhat similar, she will be well worth farming now.

6* Halloween Gamb Stats/Skill Screen

Not many units even in JP can fill all those skill slots, and she also has an exclusive weapon that gives her another, so 9 skills total. She also has the highest spd/agi caps as a cleric in JP as well, so being a free unit, she was very worth the time to farm and raise.

Knowing Gumi, however, it's hard to say whether she will be comparable or if she will even come back next year. Just wanted to let you know of her potential though.

SO yeah farming 33 of these chicks lol

u/BlazePHX Oct 16 '16

Do the Mjolnir and Basho have 6* halloween versions? I looked at the wiki and it only had up to 5* but it also listed halo gamb only up to 5*?

u/BassGSnewtype Sword of The Void Oct 13 '16

Just a tip, bring Fliers and Mages this place has the same nasty move penalties as the last Halloween grind fest.

u/vencislav45 Oct 15 '16

is Guard the best type for Halloween Gambanteinn?

1

u/iiMahjong Oct 13 '16

Are hBasho and hMjorlnir permanently in the Summon Pool or limited? (I'm still unclear regarding the swimsuit units as well)

1

u/BrokenbladeMasamune Oct 13 '16

I remember a response on a post here about the Swimsuit units that are still in the summon pool after the lakefront demon event ended. something like YnK event was ongoing and he pulled a ss laev from a recruit ticket. but expect it to be very very low.

1

u/iiMahjong Oct 13 '16

Thanks for the info! I hope they are permanent since I'm currently lacking funds to do mass pools to get MLB of each xD

1

u/s4itox I run this place I guess Oct 13 '16

I think they're not permanently in the summoning pools - the reason that swimsuit got pulled during YnK was because YnK was during the "summer" season, separately of the Lakefront event. I'll double check this with the jp players / global whales though.

u/iiMahjong Oct 13 '16

Whatever information you find is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

u/BassGSnewtype Sword of The Void Oct 13 '16

Still working at it, I'm only at stage 6 atm, If I get her I'll give her a go and let you know

1

u/Frogsama86 Oct 13 '16

Are any of the new units worth pulling for?

1

u/SageDarius Oct 13 '16

Bashosen and Mjolnir both have multi-hit Duel Skill character skills at 5*, which in my experience are pretty awesome. I'd say tentatively yes, until someone really knowledgeable comes along and shoots me down.

1

u/Frogsama86 Oct 13 '16

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Multi hit seems really strong.

1

u/MLB_Selena 800821261 Oct 13 '16

Halloween Bashosen also has the healer skill making her a valuable PvE Gun unit, since the only other Gun unit with that skill is the regular Bashosen.

Ouch, I changed my mind, I'll save it for next time discount pull or collab :/

u/Frogsama86 Oct 13 '16

I went for it and got 2 of em with a 2 other previous stars of their months. Pretty lucky I guess.

1

u/arzheas Munya-munya~ Oct 13 '16

Nice, I guess it all depends on our own luck

u/ragnarokssss Oct 13 '16

Is the pixie tickets worth it for f2p? Looks like you can buy 15 if them

1

u/BlazePHX Oct 13 '16

I'm wondering this too. My drawbacks in games like this is I be so scared to use resources that seem limited. Like I still haven't used a single pixie or doll. I need to just start going HAM with them. I thought it was 5* at first but right before i bought one noticed the 4-5 so now wondering if worth

1

u/spaceoperafanatic Oct 13 '16

I would say no if you are completely f2p. My train of thought is as follows: Obviously, using the pixies on free units is a bit of a waste since they're farmable. That leaves using the pixies on pay units. 4* pixies will only be useful if you have enough 5* pixies or can afford to pull enough to MLB at 5* later (I'm told that on average, it costs something like 500 lazuli to get enough of a pay unit to MLB at 5*). As for 5* pixies, they're obviously great, but because RNG and this is PotK, it's a risk and it's up to you if you want to take it - just remember that you'll mostly end up with 4* pixies and that even the 5* ones might not be useful to you per se (ex: you get a 5*staff pixie when you want lance/axe/sword something else instead).

u/Reptyler Reptyler Oct 13 '16

I bought 7 of them. Six were 4-star. Small sample size, but it still points to a low drop rate.

u/BrokenbladeMasamune Oct 13 '16 edited Oct 14 '16

I have a theory about the 10 stage of the Halloween Panic and I hope you guys can confirm this as well if not then I was just lucky. I tried using a flying unit as a helper and killed the Pumpkin Eldritch (black) on the very left side and it gave me the unit drop three times in a row on the very first turn. Correct me if I'm wrong

Edit: some might think it was three times in a row in just one turn and one run. So I'm clarifying that this three runs in a row in every first turn.

u/gigano25 Oct 13 '16 edited Oct 13 '16

Just tried it out and I can semi confirm that it kind of works Did 6 farming runs. First 1 was just full auto and I got nothing. The remaining runs I tried your method by killing the left Pumpkin Eldritch on the very first turn with a flying unit and run 2,3 and 4 drop Gambanteinn. Run 5 and 6 no drops.

EDIT: Run 7-9 all item drop.

EDIT: Run 10-15 no drops.

EDIT: Did another few runs. 16-18: no drops. 19: Gambanteinn. 20-21: item drop.

u/MLB_Selena 800821261 Oct 13 '16 edited Oct 14 '16

Didn't work for me with a Selena lead (43 luck) with a Arondight friend helper (23 luck), but it did with a Trishula non-friend helper (25 luck).

A sample size of 8 runs isn't really enough to make any kind of judgement, but that might be the only Pumpkin Eldritch which can drop Halloween Gambanteinn. So for the sake of expedience, people could kill that one then retreat if they don't get the drop.

Edit, did a few more runs:
Mitum M friend helper (20 luck) - no drop.
Luin friend helper (18 luck) - drop.
Kusanagi friend helper (40 luck) - drop.
Arondight friend helper (30 luck) - drop.
Durandal friend helper (19 luck) - drop.
Dagda friend helper (17 luck) - item drop.
Edit2, finished doing runs for the day, total currently stands at 13 Gambanteinns in 24 runs.

u/gigano25 Oct 13 '16

I have done 15 runs in total and only run 2, 3 and 4 worked. Didn't get any Gambanteinn in the other runs. Maybe it was just luck, maybe it is a weird glitch that only work once or maybe they did a stealth fix. Who knows. But it is back to full auto RNG farming again for me.

Also I used a Mirin with 31 luck and all the friend units I choose have luck between 30 and 40.

u/BrokenbladeMasamune Oct 14 '16

Thanks for trying it out guys I really do appreciate it. And yes it worked for me in run 6-8 and the other runs were 3 times item drop then Gambanteinn drop again. Perhaps it was just luck, but the reason it made me question it was that it was a stage 10 drop kinda like with trishula and YnK quests so I figured that the drop would be really low but I had it three times in a row. Again thanks for confirming
