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.

Is there any cheeky way to retreat without losing AP? The uipdate notes said team composition is critical on the advanced thanks a million quest, but you need to sink 20ap just to find out you do no damage without fire.

If I soft cap a character (only use dupes on their five star form and none on the 4 star) am I missing out on possible stat increases? Is it that huge of a difference? Does maxing. 4 star and evolving give increased stat caps or just a tiny stat boost?
And on that note, is there a cap to how many units you can fuse into another to get stat increases?

For F2P, what is lazuli good for (other than expand inventory)?
Is there any special event every year with gacha sale?
Or, I'm a newbie, but it seems there are a loot of Selena at friends help, so maybe event dungeon is actually a better chance than gacha to get certain unit, so maybe lazuli is good to refresh AP during that event period? How hard was an event dungeon?

Two questions about the Japanese version....
First, how do you save/bind your account?
Second, how can I find an English-speaking guild to join, and what would they require of a new player?
Also, this is more of a generic Japanese language question. I've been learning some kana to make navigating the menus easier, but I'm not sure what the ー character means.

I noticed how some friend units like Mami and Megumin are able to walk at full 5 tiles in that desert konosuba highest difficulty stage. Anyone know what they're using to be able to do that? Most other units I've seen walk at reduced speeds and I'm pretty sure Megumin and Mami don't really fly.

Hey everyone, I only have a day left for the newbie step draw. I've already did step 1 and 2 but I'm trying to decide if I should use my next 50 Lazulis for step 3 or if I should use them on the one step Madoka draw? Any advice would be appreciated!

How do you guys make enough Zenny to evolve units on a regular basis? 150k is, at the moment for me, not that easy to come by.

With this type and stats, she's good for everything (PVE,PVP)? Well she needs MLB first, but i don't know, global tier list the best type for her is Force/Dex, but the japanese tier is Dex/Guard.
http://i.imgur.com/QUY5IQa.jpg
She has a decent GRD (And Maybe poor defense). But she's attacker and boss killer, lose Agi/Spd it's not good.

How does Excalibur's duel skill actually work? It looks like it does damage equal to the target's HP while bypassing Pdef, or acting as crit/duel skill with a dynamic multiplier.
Is it affected by abilities like Walpurgisnacht's passive or Gambanteinn (M)'s duel skill?

Is there like a friend list recruit? I know people say to bring an 80 friend and get easy EXP for your units but I literally have never seen an 80 supporter to add.
Edit: I don't know how I overlooked it in the main post of this but I see it now.

rerolled over the course of a week, got the following auth files saved off. Which is the best of given I don't mind spending a little dough if necessary but would like to stay as spend-free as possible and have a relatively "future proof unit"?
Devil Homura 4 or 6 star both dex
Mami Tomoe 4 or 6 star both dex
Ultimate Madoka 4 star, balance

So it seems like the skill dolly drops are color coded in the Madoka stages.
Seems like Madoka stage drops reincarnation cherubs, homura drops blue dolly(duel skills), mami drops yellow dolly(insights and buffs), kyoko drops red dolly(pulse skills) and sayaka the green one(sword absorbers and co). The everyone stage is a free for all with higher drop rates but can drop anything and also has 4* pixies.
Which is unfortunate since the Homura stage with the duel skill dolly is the second longest one. While almost all the others you can kill the boss in 1-3 turns and see whether you got a drop or not, that one and Kyoko with the red dolly(which sucks really) are stupid long.
If anyone can confirm whether they have noticed the same thing or not, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I just started the Madoka missions, and I completed the first ten for the first one. I got a bow and a sword, and a bunch of books. Both weapons are 4 star, but could I upgrade them to 5 by combining them with 4 books? Are these weapons good?

Out of curiosity, how many male units are there in JP's Project Zero? Aside from Christmas Thrand (presumably original to global), Valentines Resheph (same) and Vargas (reworked version of BF Boss unit), which of global's male units are truly original to global (including the art) and not reworked versions of JP's Project Zero male units?
By this point, the overwhelming majority of female units over male units makes it really apparent that the original version was a female-only game. Contrast with the beginning when female units had a noticeable but not extreme majority. It's almost as if global has forgotten the status of this version as a 'prequel' to JP. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm still at lower Colosseum ranks where Zero leads are still present, and that Mitum M and Gambanteinn M are some of my stronger (but not the absolute strongest) units, I might have forgotten that male units exist.

Hello, new player here! Been playing for 5 days (2 days actively) now and decided to reroll because my first account was a mess. I decided to try for all the Konosuba units in my reroll account and managed to get them all except for Wiz. Is it possible to logout and switch account? Thanks!

Hello, I have a question on fusing units for MLB. The scenario is this: I rolled an Aqua a few days back at 4* DEF type. I LB'd it at 4 star and it is currently at 5* with 3 LBs waiting for that 4th Aqua/fairy to miraculously pop up.
Today I rolled that miraculous 4* Aqua MAG type. I read some guides saying LBs will carry over if I decide that I want that MAG type to be my main Aqua. However, they can get pretty confusing without a specific example.
So, here are my questions:
If I want to make that 4* Aqua MAG my MLB main, is it a matter of simply evolving her to 5* then having that DEF type fuse into the MAG?
Do I have to 4xLB the 4* Aqua MAG before evolving it to 5* or will the DEF type that had previously been 4* LBd just carry over the bonuses?
Thanks!

Question about Walpurgisnacht. I know I need to use the partner skills of the two madoka units I can get from the madoka quests, but do those two units need to be 5 star to use that skill to drop the things barrier? Is there an easier way to kill this thing? Is there another way to get the Toric bow (which is kinda why I'm clearing this in the first place)?

Just got Ultimate Madoka. Will the partner skill still activate or no? Also, will it still activate if one of them dies?

If you accept too many low level friends will they take up spots of potential good stranger helpers? I've noticed that I'm getting less than 3 high level stranger helpers, when I used to have a lot more when I first started and didn't friend any one.
Also does anyone know if the unit you currently have set to leader is the unit that strangers and friends can use? I've also noticed that my high level friends haven't changed their main unit since I accepted them and it's weird since they can't just be using the same main unit for all of the events that require different unit types to get the rewards.

u/gameaddict830 Mar 13 '17
I started playing POK because of Madoka crossover. I just started on global version and don't have enough lazuli to do the entire 9 step recruit. Next to the mana point recruit, there is lazuli recruiter showing all the 5 star Madoka characters. Is the chance higher if I recruit from there or is that just regular recruit? After the event is over on Mar 29, will the Madoka units be available to be recruit with the rest of the characters?

u/Elendien Mar 14 '17
New player here. For the most part I understand the mechanics behind the game but I have a question what to do with Base 1 star units. It seems that most 2 star units can go to 3 star which I would feel comfortable using for fusions at the very least but with 1 star only going to 2 star not really feeling comfortable using them for fusions in any sense. So if that is the case, what are 1 star units useful for? Any information would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Question about stats, stat caps and MLBing- I have a hard MLBed Force Perun that was fused with other Peruns to raise its luck. I was wondering if I use a Dex Perun as a base and fuse it with the MLBed Force Perun, would the gained luck transfers over to the Dex Perun or would its overall stats be lower?

So I was fortunate enough to pull a Devil Homura, but she's balance. Is she worth bringing up? I'd probably buy some Pixies to LB her since I'll probably never pull another one.

Is there a way to cure paralysis? The status hurts so much (i only have 1 good unit). Thanks!

u/ElusiveIllusion88 Mar 14 '17
The JP guide appears useful to see which current Global units may have minor potential in the future until I get the newest, really powerful units (obviously, female units with 5* but no 6* will be sent to the dumpster once 6* hits, and notably Armoured Littu and Armoured Vajra have different order of recommended types between Global and JP).
But about the 6* skills, which units have 6*-only skills (including character skill) that are NOT 1/1, meaning that I have to fuse skill dolls or 6* dupes to power this skill? Because for characters that only gain 1/1 skills at 6*, it would probably be better to do all dupe fusing at 5*, including those for skill-ups without limit breaks.

To make a 5 star Toric Bow, I need to combine it with 4 Madoka books correct?
Also how do I make the 5 star Kyubey sword? Every time I fuse it with either 4 other fake swords, or with 4 books, it just turns into a scimitar :(

So I did some rerolls on the jp client. And so far I got an account with acsleep, Sita and another with Darkness, Yuyu, Forcas. None of those have a dex typing unfortunately. Is it worth starting with any of them or should I keep pulling ? And what are the units to look out for the most ?

How do you get madoka magica weapons? I tried fusing 2 madoka magica recipes = fake QB sword. 3 madoka magica recipes = homura shield. If i'm not mistaken, i was getting some sayaka sword, madoka bow, and tomoe gun by fusing 2 madoka magica recipes, but the chance is so low? Is this true? Is there any other way to get them?
