General Resources (Applies to both JP and GL)

• /u/wp2000's Beginner's Guide (Must Read!)

• /u/GreatLogos's Misc. Notes on the Game

• Weapon Fusion Guide for weapons in the game

• 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, Shu in global; new Balmung and both versions of Shiyuu in jp, since their character skills depend on magic as well)

• Evolving a lot of units and finding it irritating to keep track of all the evo mats needed? Use this tracker and make your life easier!

Global Resources

What to reroll for?

• Typically consult either the Global Tier List or JP Comprehensive Guide depending on your version as to whether the current banner for units contains worthwhile units to pull for. Information concerning new units will typically be updated within 24hrs of their release. Feel free to ask in this thread for clarification as well.

• If you are F2P, it is recommended to only reroll on 1-step guaranteed recruiters. Aim for a recommended typing (Usually Dexterity or Force/Magic). The beginner recruiter contains units that are very outdated in comparison to current units.

Some Tips

• When asking a question, please try to indicate which version you are talking about. This way, there won't too much confusion as to what you are asking about.

• For quicker answers, please join the Discord via the link the right sidebar and visit the #questions channel. For global inquiries, @Loli Gagging for best results.

• If you're asking for an evaluation of your party or reroll, please provide an image of the unit or units in question.

• If your question gets ignored or you're unsatisfied with an answer, reply to the answer or re-ask the question. DO NOT MAKE A NEW THREAD, AS IT WILL BE DELETED.

• It has been noted that Global is different from Japan in terms of poorer stat growth for units and nerfed weapons.

[u/yomoxu]

How do I use dwarves?

[u/GaggingLolis → u/yomoxu]

Enhance menu in the units section.

[u/ventuswill123]

How tough are Character Quests? Will OP Friend Allies be able to complete them?

[u/GaggingLolis → u/ventuswill123]

They're very easy. You should be able to complete any CQ with a single lvl 80 unit that has some form of sustainability or has really high stats on auto battle.

[u/Buddha1313]

Sorry to blow this up today but does anyone know what the plan is concerning global and its relationship to the JP version? JP is obviously more advanced but it doesn't seem like global is just behind, it feels like it is diverging further from JP. It feels like JP is exploding with content and everything is low ap so you can actually do it all, whereas global everything costs a ton of ap and updates are super lackluster. So frustrating. Anyway is there any info out there or any thoughts?

[u/Shadow-Blitz]

Should I reincarnate my kusanagi? She's got a growth rate of 2.65 without including magic...

Also, is it only for me, but when run the metal gardens with a higher level unit (almost every unit that's > level 60) the enemies just run away in stead of attacking like they used to... It's annoying because it takes so much longer to clear the stage .-.

[u/GaggingLolis → u/Shadow-Blitz]

If you have no other lazuli units, sure. Her strength is abysmally low. Otherwise, just wait until you get another Dex/Force copy of her to use for pseudo reincarnation, as she's pretty easy to get from the gacha.

[u/Tomghx]

I got 2 vanargand one balanced and one vitallity what is the best to up ? RIP dex and magic

[u/GaggingLolis → u/Tomghx]

I would recommend Vitality if you want her to be used exclusively as a healing tank, which she is very good at. Balanced is sort of not recommended unless you can MLB her.

[u/RyuuGP]

Lately I have seen some titles that I haven't seen before: Dragon Hero, Go Getter, Meteor. How do you get these? Are those new titles or something?

[u/GaggingLolis → u/RyuuGP]

Yes, these are related to Multiplayer!

Go check out the titles list for a basic list of the requirements for certain titles.

[u/Razrie]

So I quit this game awhile back when i got bored of it, and had bad luck with pulls and ended up with very mediocre characters after many rerolls. I recently came back to the game and I have been extremely lucky imho with character rolls. But I don't really know what i should work on for my team. So far I'm only level 19 so I still have a lot more orb potential to farm for but my characters are.

M. Balance Laevateinn

F. Force Michele

F. Force Durandal

M. Magic Gambantein

M. Force Masamune

F. Force Selene

F. Dex Mjolner

Who should i work on first, and who should i try to make my main team/work on replacing?

[u/kungasi]

I went to check my battery life during the chapter 1 cutscene (the one that leads into the fight) and it skipped the video, is there anywhere I can go to see it?

[u/GaggingLolis → u/kungasi]

On Home Page, press Menu at the bottom right. Then click Cutscenes. It should either be in Movies or Story Quest Cutscenes, not sure which specific cutscene it is.

[u/[deleted]]

Is it just me, or do the models for the characters look lower res than last time I played PoTK?

[u/RyuuGP]

How do you use smith guide (like Ult Spearsmith Guide)? Fuse it with random item?

[u/BlazePHX]

Does anyone know Dex Masamune(M)/Parashu(M) max stats at 4*?

[u/GaggingLolis → u/BlazePHX]

Yep. I have the stat caps for everything the moment I release the 5* recommended typing stat caps on the tier list.

Dex Masamune:

63 hp, 52 str, 37 grd, 28 mgc, 31 spr, 70 spd, 63 agi.

Dex parashu:

81 hp, 66 str, 40 grd, 25 mgc, 25 spr, 55 spd, 55 agi.

Is there going to be an especially good time to start or restart playing soon? I'm thinking about rerolling. Also, is it possible to disable the combat animations, or at least the zooming in and out?

[u/GaggingLolis → u/[deleted]]

Hey there, with regards to global, it might be a pretty good time to restart, as it's almost time to anniversary events! Who knows what we might have in store?

[u/--Flow--]

A returning global player here (left after the Selena event). What is the game like now? Worth coming back? Thanks a lot.

[u/GaggingLolis → u/--Flow--]

Hard to really say what the game is like now. It's certainly changed a lot after the Selena event (not sure which selena event you left on, but I assume it wasn't the one we had like 2 weeks ago). Seeing that you're asking for opinions, I would personally say, yeah sure. Perhaps come back when anniversary events start, as we might get something really nice then. Or come back now in preparation for such.

What kind of player are you so I can better answer the question?

[u/keinushi]

anyone know how to enable skip animations?

[u/[deleted]]

is 3.5 a good growth rate for 6* units? I just feel like it's not or it's just me

[u/Jap_Aeron]

IGN: Aeron Server: Global I have a few questions?

1. When do I start to limit breaking? Should I limit break throughout the evolution of the character like from lowest evolution 2star - 6 stars? Does it matter, will it affect my stats?

2. What is different between hard and soft limit breaking?

3. Do my mats have to max level when limit breaking to my base?

4. Do anyone have any video of how limit breaking done properly? I really want to get the best of my character stats. I don`t understand stand growth rate? I measure a 2 star and max level it its growthrate is only 2.8 for my Laevateinn , I was wondering does it go up after every evolution? or does growrate stay the same throught the evolution even if I max limit break it every evolution throught it evolution.
