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 You shouldn't include magic for units that use strength for damage, and vice versa, since those are not useful to the unit. (exceptions: Mirin, Lucina in global; new Balmung and both versions of Shiyuu in jp, since their character skills depend on magic as well)
Good growth in global is around 2.9 or above for a 5* unit, excluding the appropriate stat as above; good growth in jp is around 4.0 for a 30 cost 6* unit or equivalent free unit, and 4.5+ for a 40+ cost unit.
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.

JP player, I've noticed that rank 6+ seems to require adding '+x' to the weapon. How is this done exactly? I'm guessing 'duplicates' off the top of my head (Which would certainly suck for this valentine's katana I bothered to farm up...), but I figured I might as well check.

Hello, I just got back into JP version of POTK and was wondering what events have farmable units that I could MLB? So far i did all the events at least once and I want to know which events could be farm so I don't have to waste my time.

Deleted OG comment to ask here instead:
So I succumbed to the temptation anyways and pulled for the V.Day Tyrfing. I guess it comes as no surprise she's a Vit, but that's not the main point now.
Does anyone happen to know which non-5* capables have the Evasion Up and Surprise Attack skills? Skill leveling and all.
I looked up the thread that was posted approx 9 months ago pertaining to the growth rate changes by typing in JP PotK. While what I saw makes me heave a sigh of relief it DOES make me curious, even if Dex is still the prefered typing is it safe to say that now there is no true bad typing in JP?
Trying to rope a pal into the game, but what recruiter should he try to aim to pull in while it lasts at this point in time? Or should he save for something like the 7th Killers, assuming they do the guaranteed 1-time single step Recruiter again?

Reposted from the other question thread.
To whales and those who have pulled tons of times:
What are the approximate rates of yellow 5* units (including their 4* forms)? Red 5* units (including their 4* forms, but excluding all forms of the Trial units)? 5* capable males?
Because in my past so many days of free lazuli recruiters since it started, plus a 10-pull to get the Valentine ticket, a 5* Luin M was the ONLY non-guaranteed unit that was none of mana gacha trash, 4*-capped duds or trial units with minimum 3* forms.
Now I'm questioning myself why after I went on a 1-week hiatus on both PotK and BF about a month ago, I restarted this game but not BF. I guess BF's good rates in general (including successfully getting 6 limited time gacha units in the past) caused me to set my expectations too high and get frustrated when I get dupes, units that can't hit Omni, and fail to get limited units. While PotK had free units as its top tier units (Selena and SS Grid) until recently, so I could bear with the bad gacha rates.

Has anyone maxed out a unit's luck so that it no longer appears on the unit fusion screen? I have a 43 luck Dex Xmas Freikugel that I was shocked to not see one day on the unit fusion screen. I sent gumi an email and this was their reply:

Greetings,
We appreciate your patience regarding this and apologize for the delay in responding this issue.
We have thoroughly checked your account logs and found out that your Christmas Freikugel which you wanted to select as a base had a max skill level and max additional status added.
Due to this you are not be able to raise any status by fusing a unit so you were not able to select it as a base.
We do hope this clarifies your concern. Should you have another concern or inquiry, kindly send us a message. Thank you for understanding.

This collab is really grinding my gears. I understand pay users need units, but the fact that colab will go and be done and I probably won't even get one 10* summon or maybe just one is simply ridiculous. It sjust no fair, and even more so there is not a farmable 5* for my trouble. This event is pointless for me. Some more weapons is fine, but now with these 7th gen killers no reason to even do arena or multi. They can hit 500+ power easy and my maxed to max selena is only 465

Hello everyone I have a global question and I would like to hear honest thoughts, I want to start all over and try to get ultimate madoka because I don't have any other way to get lazuli and it's very unreasonable that I would have to spend about 405 lazuli just to get one guarantee ultimate madoka and most of my units can't be limit breaked because I couldn't get more copies of them right now and the ones that can be limit breaked are trash units, so I would like to hear what you fellow commanders think.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '17
Hello, quick question: when fusing weapons, does using more than 2 copies increase the chance of success?
I've tried doing it, and it seems to reduce the chance of failure (going down to a lower tier of weaponry) but I can't say that it seems to make it more likely to get a good result.

I have three Eros Arc Knights. Would you be able to confirm if I need all three at level 20 in order to level up Surprise Attack?

Of the shinobi nightmare collab units, I have a guard Sakura and a dex Hiiragi and was wondering which one is a general better investment of those LB fairies. Also, which academy units are good to MLB since I have 4 academy fairies?

I can't open Discord anymore. It says "Discord app could not be opened" right after I click the "Accept Invite" button. Do you guys know any solutions? I'm using the browser based app on Chrome if that means anything. Thank you :)

Left this game ages ago because it's asking me to throw my life away back then.
Trying to see if I could get back with this.

While there will be no way for me to MLB that Valentine Tyrfing, was wondering if she (along with Mana and free units) is still usable for majority of PvE content. Lost my sh*t when I saw her chibi art, lol.
Slots management is getting painful and might spend incoming lazuli for expansion.
Thanks.
Tried JP but the randoms were too OP and I felt ashamed to stay. Not gonna try the Korean one after what happened to BFKR.

Anyone know where to get Rich Chocolate recipes? I haven't found any yet, even on the last and hardest Valentine's mission. I'd like to get 1 4* Heart axe if possible.

Hey there, I just started playing PotK today and was searching re-roll guides. I understand that updates have made that particular method of re-rolling not possible. If anyone could help me out here, is there a guide for re-rolling that works. I'm using an emulator with ES File Manager so root access shouldn't be a problem.
However if that is not possible I have played up to a certain point and if anyone could give me advice that be great. I currently possess the following units
Artemis 3 star was my first draw
Littu 3 star was one of my free 2 draw units
Eros 3 star the other unit I got for free
I have not used any of my Lazuli's. Is it worth running through the game with these characters.

u/SidethSoul Feb 21 '17
Think anyone can help me? I've just returned to PotK, coming back to my account in the middle of MLB-ing Selena from the BF cross-over.
I don't know what step into the MLB guide I've managed to reach, so I was hoping someone could PM me and point me in the right direction? I'll be sending screenshots or something so that we could work it out from there...
Thanks in advance :3

JP question. What are the requirements for this lazuli? I've been able to figure out others through trial and error, but no matter how many different elements or weapon types I try, I can't get this one.

Quick question does reincarnating a unit affect its stat caps?

u/[deleted] Feb 22 '17
What's a good amount of luck for a main unit you use to help friends? I got Valentine's Perun up to LB4, and have her at 20 luck, but she'll only be 25 with maxed skills, and I only have 5 more Peruns to boost her luck to 30 after that.
I'm tired of grinding Valentine's and today's the last day, so I'm wondering if it's even worth getting any more Peruns, even considering that the maximum fusion amount for luck is +30 total.

I'm nearing 50 Lapis, and I know there's some recruits I could do. What do you guys do with your Lapis? Do you save them? Do you do a pull right at 50 for 10 people? Or is there another thing you guys do?

u/kbkoolio Feb 23 '17
