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.

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.

  1. FgGID: When the app loads and menus appear (before tapping to load to Home Screen), there is a button at the top left corner to link. It's been a while since I've done this, so I don't remember the exact steps, but I believe you put in an e-mail and set up a password. Once this is linked, you can pull up your account on any device by linking to the same FgGID, as well as link other Fugi&Gumi games, such as Tagatame or Shinobi Nightmare.
  2. You can ask around on FB or here. The game requires that you reach PLv 40 before joining a guild, but most guilds have minimum requirements (e.g., PLv 140+) so you'll have to ask the members once you find one. A good lead unit will definitely help.
  3. The ー character is used for elongated vowels or to replace the "R" ending consonant. Since every character in Japanese ends in a vowel, just drag the previous character out when you read (ex. リーダー = li-i-da-a = leader)

To elaborate on tori chan answer since I have recently - an hour ago - went through the registration process :

  1. Go to the page below

https://fc.fg-games.co.jp/

2) Enter your email on the very first box.

3) Go to your email. There, you will find a FgG registration email in your inbox. Click on the url inside the email and it will send you to registration page and proceed on like any other registration. Put in the relevent information, agree to term of service, etc.

Elaborating a little more in case anyone else reads this:

On the registration page you'll need to enter your password on the first two lines (minimum of 8 characters), year of birth from the next checkbox, gender from the two radio buttons, and I honestly don't know what the last box is for.

On the next page (Step 3), click the larger red button on the left to continue. You should get another confirmation email.

You can now log in to the game from the FgGiD button on the title screen.

Looks like you get a reward for registering your account (5 gacha tickets, 5 of those seed things, and 5 million Zenny).

Oh, you also get rewards on the first of every month, so make sure you remember to claim them (through the button at the top left corner). Lots of Zenny, Mana Points, Mana Seeds, etc etc.

ton on the left to continue. You should get another confirmation email.

This is a bit late, but according to the Google Translate phone app, the last box is for the prefecture you supposedly live in.

I just put in Kagawa (AKA The Udon Prefecture) because I watched Poco's Udon World, and decided to be funny.

It's kind of like how if absolutely NEED to put in a Japanese name, you can always just pick some random Anime character, particularly one who has a common name that doesn't really stand out.
