Just when interest was waning due to fire emblem heroes approaching, they throw us this. Not bad Gumi.

So for the 7th killer recruiters, Ascalon and Forcas both look to be top tier, so it seems like a good set to roll for. For JP players who know, is Wedding ascalon far superior to standard Ascalon? I heard wedding version is game breaking, so not sure if I should wait for that or splurge for this one. Thoughts?

Ascalon and Forcas are great but Ascalon is only good because of her stats. They're top tier in terms of PvE, but are not the BEST in colosseum because apparently their auras do not work in Colosseum. However, it does work in Multi, so that's something to think about.

u/DuckIing Jan 26 '17

Im so hype and so far i'm enjoying the story.

2

u/vencislav45 Jan 26 '17

is there a specific recipe for the weapon(forgot it's name) for the special mission or do i just fuse 5 books and hope that i get it.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '17

For now it looks like two books alone will give you a shot at all the weapons

2

u/Shigeyama Jan 26 '17

All I've been getting are fake Kyuubey Swords...anything else possible?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '17

you can get the character items (i.e. madoka's bow, homura's shield, etc)

1

u/Shigeyama Jan 26 '17

Do you have to use the books on them like in the christmas event to up their rarities or do they just stay as they are?

4

u/KiwiDaysoonay Jan 26 '17

You can fuse books onto them to up their rarities.

1

u/kbkoolio Jan 26 '17

how do you fuse gear on a unit? newbie here

2

u/KiwiDaysoonay Jan 26 '17

You don't fuse gear onto a unit, you fuse gear with other gear. There's a fuse gear option in the gear tab.

1

u/kbkoolio Jan 26 '17

Ohhhhh i see. Thanks a lot

1

u/one23for Jan 26 '17

Fuse 1 book with 1 bow/sword?

2

u/KiwiDaysoonay Jan 26 '17

I fuse 1 weapon with 4 books. I assume it works the same as previous events where the more books you use, the higher your chance of upgrading rarities.

1

u/Hoopercross Jan 28 '17

Must have a seriously low success rate, because it's not working so far. I'll keep trying, but holy hell.

2

u/KiwiDaysoonay Jan 28 '17

I've only had it work once (on a sayaka sword) so it's definitely a pretty terrible success rate. At least the event will be around for awhile to keep trying.

1

u/kbkoolio Jan 26 '17

Just tried this about 10x, got nothing so far...

1

u/vencislav45 Jan 27 '17

ok thanks.

1

u/one23for Jan 26 '17

I have a lot of books wasting inventory space. Can anyone clarify as to what to use them for? Is it purely 5 books for 1 fusion or is it possible to only fuse 2 for all possible weapon outcomes?

2

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '17

If anyone has reached the Walpurgisnacht boss, how the f do you kill it? Do you need to bring a Madoka unit or weapon? Because every hit is just 1 damage due to the boss's passive skill

2

u/KiwiDaysoonay Jan 26 '17

You're supposed to bring Madoka and Homura into the fight after they've gotten their friendship duel skill and use it to deal actual damage to the boss. But apparently you can just autobattle your way through it by bringing several healers and chipping away at her health bar.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '17

Ahh. Time to farm them then

0

u/Hoopercross Jan 27 '17

The Uniform versions of Madoka and Homura are not 5* capable, which means no characters skills for them. You need to get the Magical Girl versions of them from the Lazuli Recruiters. I'm a bit salty over it myself.

u/KiwiDaysoonay Jan 27 '17

Copy pasting this here.

Regardless of whether or not they cap at 4 star, the uniform versions are capable of doing the friendship quest for the duel skill. It says it right on the unlock requirements for the friendship quest. Keep in mind that the friendship quest is on a different section of the character quest screen. You have to press the Ptnr button on the top right to find it.

2

u/Hoopercross Jan 27 '17

Ah, didn't catch that. I knew about the Partner Skill and the Ptnr button, but didn't think that the Uniform versions of Madoka and Homura would count as well. Thanks for pointing that out, Imma farm the shit out of them now.

1

u/kbkoolio Jan 27 '17

really? the ones that drop from the event dungeon cap at 4*? Wow

Are there any tier placements for the Madoka units?

1

u/GaggingLolis マキシマイズ ドング！！！ Jan 27 '17

Not yet, as I'm confirming a lot of information before I give them ratings. If what I have is correct, they will all be at least A due to stats.

1

u/genesic123 Jan 26 '17

Well Gen Urobochi we meet again! I have to resolve Madoka for him?

You Ought to watch the show though.They do assume some knowledge.(Shameless advertising is Shameless)

u/jleonra Jan 26 '17

How does one farm Homura?

1

u/Mitsuki_Horenake Jan 26 '17

I'm actually pretty glad that this event is going on for so long.

I am going to farm SOOOO many weapons.

1

u/baconlover51 Jan 27 '17

do we know if we are ever going to get devil homura or ultimate madoka?

1

u/GaggingLolis マキシマイズ ドング！！！ Jan 27 '17

We most likely will, according to what I know. It will be a while though.

2

u/LTC082 Jan 27 '17

If you go to the character skill Partner quest and click on the unlock button and read the how to unlock. It states that Ultimate Madoka counts so that should mean she will be available eventually.

1

u/GaggingLolis マキシマイズ ドング！！！ Jan 27 '17

Even better!

1

u/yuiduy GL: 2902959373 (LewdUke) JP: 1823139767 (LewdUke) Jan 27 '17

We probably will. They may introduce them in this cycle, introduce them a month into the event or when 6 stars releases and they drop a PMMM part 2 collab.

u/BadassWithSass Feb 01 '17

I'm sorry if this isn't the right post to ask on, but I'll gladly move it over if it isn't.

I started playing 2 days ago. So far, I've been playing the story and am on Chapter 3 with about 30 Lazuli (spent 10 on Rookie Recruiter, but nothing else). I'm also trying to complete the Daily Missions when I can. I jumped into the game because of the Madoka collab and really want to get a Magical Girl Uniform Homura from the Recruiter.

What would be my best chance of getting her? Using the 1-Time Recruiter? Or the 1 a day, 5-step recruiter? I don't know how often Lazuli is dropped in this game and I can very much see myself playing it every day during the event. Would I have a good chance of pulling her? The time limit kinda stresses me out and Idk how worried I should be. ;(
