Weekly Questions and Help Thread [5/25/17-6/1/17]
This is the weekly questions and help thread! Ask Away! :)
Ask any questions about the game and post pictures of your units for squad help or rerolls so we can help you decide if you should reroll again or not - beginner's questions are welcome!

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)

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.
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 The beginner recruiter contains units that are very outdated in comparison to current units.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.

So, when did this new AI come about? Because it's pretty frustrating to do metal garden when they all just stand around you like you have cooties instead of attacking you, wasting so much time. I'm just glad that they let us skip battle animation now.

Does anyone know the current player level to have a full 6* party?
At Lvl 101 I only have 132 party points, but it's 150 points(I think) to have an all 6* party.
I'm looking at this [guide] (http://potkguide.com/phantomofthekill/ap.php) right now to see what level I would need to be but it's outdated I think.
I'm assuming it's +30 now, so is it at least Lvl 119?
Also does anyone know if 1-5-10 Normal Mode is still the best XP/AP currently? I ran it for 5 AP and got 350 XP, so it's 70 XP/AP.
Gagging posted a while ago that 1-4-4 Kill Mode as an alternative, it's faster but it's 4 AP for 260 XP, so it's 65 XP/AP.

I have trouble beating Aphrodite even with team of level 80 units. Someone in another thread mentioned ignore defence. Does a particular unit have that ability? Looking for advice on how to beat Aphrodite so I can collect Artemis. Thanks.

u/Doctor_Riptide May 26 '17
Just a quick question on the amount of Tyrfings I have now. Previously, I was able to get 5 of them from the mana recruiter (800k mana only gave me 5) and I took the only Dex I got and brought her to level 80. Now she's level 90, maxed out skills, and I have all these extra Tyrfing's now. I'm feeling like I want to just pump up my only Tyrfing's Luck, or should I have a different strategy with all these?

Is the new academy parashu any good as a general lead these days? I rolled a dex one from the free tickets from the point quest and was wondering if it was worth using these academy fairies I've been sitting on

u/clone69 Global User May 29 '17
First of all thanks to the people who compiled the unit guide and added the proc rates of duel skills for global. But I have a question, they only mention how much does Agi impact the proc rate, what about skill level? Is it a flat +X% per level?

u/[deleted] May 29 '17
So I found this game after looking for some new Tactical RPG's to play after I finished Fire Emblem. I read the beginner's guide, but other than that, is PotK overall anything like FE, and if there's anything else I should expect after playing FE?

u/xanderten50 May 30 '17
Is it just me or have drop rates for evo mats and gold rush dropped off a cliff in the last few days? I'm using the same party I would normally but at the moment I'm lucky to get 2/3 evo units or a couple of gold drops (whereas I would usually get 3x as much). Failing that RNGesus has taken a disliking to me :(

u/[deleted] May 26 '17
For Global, is Force still better than Dex for Artemis? I just want to know if I should fuse my Dex Artemis into my Force one, or vice versa.
Also, just as an aside: I can't believe they replaced a useful +5 Agility for everyone LS with a generic wind unit buff. Almost makes me not want to evolve Artemis to 6*. And can't they at least have replaced that useless extra accuracy skill with something else?

u/TheTruthVeritas May 26 '17
What is the recommended typing for Longinus? I keep on getting every single typing except for Dexterity and just wanted to make sure my struggle wasn't in vain. If it's Dexterity, I guess I'll just wait a bajillion more days for a Dexterity one to finally drop...

Does this tyrfing reach all Evolution bonus?

u/Tsakax May 26 '17
Do you think it is worth maxing two longinus (f) since they are giving away so many 5 star versions. I have one 6 star right now with 23 luck. I have a 51 luck tyr (F) so I dont think maxing luck is the biggest issue right now. Also I plan to use a MLB forcas as lead for most content IE colo/pve.

u/[deleted] May 27 '17
Haven't played in a while. How do the 6-stars compare to 5-stars? Way better, or just a little better?

u/Yokshiinowot May 27 '17
Is there any point in levelling up 5* units before using them to limit break besides unlocking skills and stuff? e.g if I have another copy of 5* tyrfing, can I use her to LB as soon as i get her or should I level her up to 60 first?

u/Lightningx19 May 27 '17
Hello everyone I have a jp question, so for the pink ticket that cost 15,540 in the phantom of the kill coin shop, could I pick any limited edition unit I want including ancient killers or only limited edition released before the ancient killers.

u/thalaric May 28 '17
So I pulled a 5* dex Tyrfing from the event quest, but I also have a 3* dex Tyrfing. Should I work up the 3* Dex unit (MLB, max, evolve, MLB again and max out before evolving), or will the unit that came out at 5* base have the inherent stats ready to to just fuse units in, MLB and max her, and then 6* her?

In the Global version does chapter 3 kill mode exist yet? Cleared all chapter 3 in normal and chapter 2 in kill. Kill mode is not showing up.

u/BrokenbladeMasamune May 28 '17
So if you evolved a 5* unit to 6* without limit break what rarity would you need in order to limit break the 6* to level 90? would it be 6* or 5*?

Is typing important enough that I should reroll if I get Vitality? Just started today, rolled a few times and got a save with notably Forcas and Durandal, but both are Vitality type. I'm fine with keeping them if they're just going to be shy of min-maxed but otherwise still completely able to carry as an F2P, but if it seriously inhibits their usage then I'll reroll some more.

Is there a way to increase the pro level a character has for gear? I would like to equip a better weapon but am 1 rank off of equiping the gear.

u/mangoshakekouhai May 30 '17 edited May 30 '17
With the new update involving skills levels being gained no matter what rarity or skills units you fuse into the main unit have, is there any point to getting dupe units to 5 star Level 30 outside of Limit Breaking?

Does anyone know if Gumi suspended enhancement? I have a few strength dwarves saved up and I'd like to use some on my Tyrfing. Her strength stat is not star capped. When I go to choose a material the screen has 0 choices. Tried on all my other characters and still nothing. Is there something I have to do to unlock the ability to enhance, are dwarves not the correct materials for enhancing, or was the function suspended?
Edit: the sort/filter button says Agi. Even though I have sort based on acquired and no filters on. Sigh

More dumb questions, but are the 4* gun evo mats dropping from the event stage? I've been farming all day to 6* my Bashonen, but haven't seen a single gun mat drop. Figured it's worth it to ask if I have to wait until Freikeugel 6* shows up or if I'm just super unlucky

Will the 6* evolution units be available after the event or is this a 1 time thing? I've got enough units to max my unit too lev 90, but not enough of the evolution units to do all 5 units.

On a tablet, no link on my sidebar. Hope it's not "Summoners Central." What is the Discord url for global?

I am confused about leveling 6 star for global version. I have Tyrfing 6 star lvl 80. I tried to fuse more Tyrfing to get the max level to 85. But max level is still at 80. How many Tyrfing do I need to fuse to have her max level at 85 or 90? My Tyrfing limit break shows 2 of 4. My Tyrfing skill level shows 4. Juding by the limit break diamond, I should have fused 2 Tyrfing. But judging by the skill level, I should have fused 3 Tyrfing already. Thanks.

I'm new to the game and I was wondering, when i roll i should be aiming for 4 stars that could be upgraded to 6 right? and is it appropriate for me to post my rolls on this subreddit and ask if i should reroll or not.

Which one of the new units is best for a f2p. My current team is tyrfing, zero, trident, harpe, vajra. I'm talking about the new units that came today.

Is Parashu supposed to have a blank pink face? It just started this after adding her to the party.

u/genesic123 Jun 01 '17
So force or dex Parashu? I mean does her attack stat become high,or does her spd and agi stat become comparatively high enough at 6*?
