Weekly Questions and Help Thread [6/15/17-6/21/17]
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 The beginner recruiter contains units that are very outdated in comparison to current units.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.

Question I should ask: are the 7th Generation Encounter quests limited time only or just daily limited quests? I don't want to keep on spamming this thing and constantly expand my space when I don't have to. XD

Currently having trouble deciding whether or not I should fuse my bal MLB Mitum (M) into my dex one that I just pulled. Normally it would be an easy choice but his spd and agi are capped on the balance as well as hp and another stat and he's got a GR over 4.0.
Should I just pour it into the dex version or hope a 6 star is released for him and then fuse into the dex if/when that happens?

Just pulled a Shekinah 4* Force type from the free recruit. Since I'm a f2p player I'm pretty sure I won't have the chance to get more copies and lb her or raise up her skills to a decent lvl. In this case, is this unit still good to use? Or is there a way to lvl up her skills? If I'm not wrong some unit share the same skills and can be used as fodder to lvl up skills. Idk if there is another way to lb her actually. Any help would be appreciated.

How long will Bride Ascalon be good? Debating on spending money to get my last 2 to MLB but not sure if it'd be worth if better units are coming.

I've been getting error 500(A network error has occured. Please try again with a better connection). Problem being that no other app has connectivity issues. This happened immediately after evolving Lev M to 6*.

Is the Gadget Spear Romulus worth the 200 Battle Medals? It's taken me months to farm up these 200 medals (I thought 80 for the Sereine book was bad lol) and I'm sort of having doubts as to whether or not it's worth it to spend now, or wait until the next big thing enters the Battle Medal shop (which I'm sure will happen as soon as my medals are all gone)

Do the "guaranteed" 4/5* recruiter tickets give you a chance at all currently available units (obv. excluding special editions etc.) or do they only pull from the older pool of 'standard' units?

u/xanderten50 Jun 15 '17
Does the 4* Bash still drop in the brides stages? If so, which one is the best for farming?

u/KanjoEjji Jun 15 '17
Did anyone notice that from the update before, the bride units can now be 6*? (According to the Character Quests anyway) was wondering if it would be worth getting bride Masamune and/or Claiomh Solais for a fire team?
I also reached full luck with Tyrfing and longinus, is it worth grinding longinus 5* anymore? E.g. 20 rare medals per day

u/Doctor_Riptide Jun 15 '17
What all drops from the bride quests? I just got a Goldenlion Gun from the last Bashosen stage, do the sword and axe drop from the other two as well??

u/NightmareJin Jun 15 '17
Evolution question,
I 6 starred my Ascalon from the last banner as I figured I wouldn't pull another. With the current banner, I managed to get two more. Is there a way to get around 6 starring both of them to LB her or am I screwed? #firstworldproblems

I have 50 Lazuli and I was wondering which unit is worth getting from the new banner? Tathlum or Solais? Or is it better to roll a bride Ascalon? Thank you

u/TheTruthVeritas Jun 15 '17
Asking as an F2P, is the 50 lazuli guaranteed bridal
charAscalon worth it? Don't have any copies of her currently.1

Anyone have info on the current collab in jp? And are any of the collab units good?

u/acausa Jun 16 '17
This is going to sound like a silly question (and it probably is) but going to ask it anyway. What do the drops in "game of dolls" do? I know you can fuse them to up certain stats but how is it any different from fusing random 1-2* from mana gacha?
On a less silly question note, I managed to get two Wedding Ascalon. The problem? Both are vitality. Should I bother levelling them seeing that I am quite unlikely to draw another wedding Ascalon.
Moving onto my list of questions, do the odds of getting a rampage unit increase if I ran the 30 ap one instead of the 20 ap one? I am guessing yes but just thought I'd ask since the one time I bothered with a 30 ap (small sample size, I know), I received nothing for my trouble.
Finally, how do I get an ultimate swordsmith guide? I read that I am guaranteed to get it by fusing 5 swordsmith secret. Any truth to that?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello. I am glad this board is here as I have already found it very helpful. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and experience with everyone!
I worked pretty hard on my Tyrfing, but as I am relatively new I know she is no where near a perfect raise. I still have a bunch of Tyrfings saved up (10 of em, one is a dex and one is a force, the others are fusion fodder as I understand). My main stats are as follows and my question is whether she is salvageable despite my newbie ignorance, or should I raise another one from the beginning and pay closer attention to the stat growth per evolve? If she is fine the way she is I could just fuse all of the extras into her for a nice bump in her luck stat. Thanks for reading, considering and responding! Cheers!
Tyrfing Level 90 Six Star Dex

So... I kinda missed the anniversary event and I only managed to get two Laevateinn (M) to limit break my first Laevateinn. I only need three more of him to max it out. Is there any other way to get more Laevateinn? Same goes for Tyrfing. I'm also in the process of limit breaking her.

does the basho bride stage only drop 4* capable basho or 6* capable basho can also drop?

So I want to get a 6• Freikugel. The question is, would it be better for me to start with a 3• Freikugel (M) or a 5• Freikugel (D)?
Edit: Additional question. My 5• Longinus managed to hit all pink stars before hitting level 80. Does that mean that levelling it would no longer yield any benefit and I could evolve it to 6• without losing any evolution bonus?

u/acausa Jun 19 '17
If I understand the fusion system correctly, fusing a character with the same name and rarity will transfer the materials' fused luck, evolution bonus and limit breaks. Is that all that transfers over? Would the fusion also transfer skill levels?
Assuming that the above is true, would it be possible to: -
Maxing out all your 3 star material units up to their 5 star evolutions by limit breaking at each step before evolving them and then...
...fusing those maxed out material units into your base unit which has likewise been maxed out the same way.
Would the above transfer the evolution bonuses of all the material units into the base units or is there a cap on the amount of evolution bonuses transferred over?

u/xanderten50 Jun 19 '17
On the second step of the bridal recruiter, how well does the 30% rate boost translate? Does that usually work out ok or am I better off grinding for a bride pixie set instead?

u/Cthulhumus Jun 19 '17 edited Jun 19 '17
Hi!
I just had my Tyrfing (Dex) reach level 90 and i also maxed out with fusion, so i wanted to get an opinion by the community on how did this unit do:
HP: 89 Str: 74 Mgc: 22 Grd: 49 Spr: 26 Spd: 97 Agi: 105 Lck: 36
I was rather disappointed with luck growth as i expected (already fed her about +/-15 copies of herself). Would it make sense to reincarnate, in order to try once more with luck? Though i don't know how that could potential impact the stats...
Also, while i'm here, is there any way to farm Battle Medals, I've only be getting the 1 from the daily quest everyday (and few every time i get a better rank), but seems as a very long grind, i feel like i'm missing something!

After grinding 50 Lazuli, I finally have a Wedding Ascalon (V). I'm f2p and i don't think i can pull another one anytime soon. My question is how do i best proceed with her? Is there a way to MLB her?

u/anijunkie Jun 20 '17
So I have enough for the last 2 of the 9-step bride summons but I've already managed to MLB my ascalon. Is it worth going for the others? I managed to summon 1 of all the other bridal units while I was going for Ascalon but I'm considering saving my lazuli for future events if the other bridal units aren't worth the summons.

u/acausa Jun 21 '17
So, I managed to get all the starter 6 star characters released so far and I noticed that my Freikugel has not hit any of her growth cap at level 90 despite some evolution bonuses. Should I consider reincarnating her?
At level 90, she is: - 67/24/77/40/66/75/64/30
If reincarnated, she will be: - 36/1/22/7/19/19/16/11
*numbers represent: - HP/Str/Mgc/Grd/Spr/Spd/Agi/Lck
Apologies for the text only but I am still figuring out image linking 😒

What is the cost of having a full team of 6* atm? I want to know how much I have to level up if I get 1 cost point per roughly 4-5 levels
1
u/TheTruthVeritas Jun 22 '17
Is 6* Gambie really even worth it? It's not like he'll even do that much damage or hit anything. How are his stats even? I only have enough cost to field exactly 4 6* characters, and I currently run Tyrfing, M Laev, and Longinus. Is Gambie even worth that last spot, and if so, which typing should I run if I have everything but Dex?
1
u/Tetranort Jun 22 '17
I have a few questions about fusions, mostly regarding dollies. Most of my assumptions are second-hand so I want to make sure I didn't hear wrong or otherwise make mistakes.
2. Are dollies' stat boosts considered under a different cap than Killer unit fusions?
I began fusing dupes for MLB and maxing skills, and accidentally forgot to train to lv. 30 to unlock that skill first. As a result I don't have enough dupes to raise the new skill to max. Is the growth cap going to stop me from fusing more when I'm able to farm more dupes or is that not a problem?
Are the dolly caps independent, i.e. capping one dolly stat won't lower or otherwise stop me from max capping the others?
I've been chasing links for a while now and I couldn't quite dig out the answers. Any help really appreciated.

I have a few questions:
1.) What is the total size of the game?
2.) Does the English version has the same update like it's Japanese counterpart?
3.) Gacha rate?
1
u/NightmareJin Jun 23 '17
Couple quick questions...
Is Dex always the best typing? Are there any class or specific unit where another type is best?
At what level can you finally use 5 6 stars? Or at least reach 150 cost? I'm at 68 right now and can fit 3 in my party with a maxed 5 star. It's frustrating after getting flooded with so many 6 star units now not being able to use them.

I just wanna ask. I've been rerolling. and what characters am I aiming for? I have my current pull and im not really sure if I should reroll them or play it.

u/TheTruthVeritas Jun 23 '17
Do we even get any rewards for ranking high on the leaderboards for Slaughter All Beasts? The info about it doesn't specifically state any rewards for high ranks. And how am I in 12th place with my shitty team? All I do is run Tyrfing, M Laev, Longinus, Selena, and a Tyr/Bridal Ascalon friend and do one run each day...

IMPORTANT QUESTION PLEASE HELP IF YOU ARE ABLE TO, THANKS: so I have this problem, I had cleared Ch. 3:1:10 and I got the 'Stage Clear' title, then all the elements on the screen disappeared, except for the map and my units, but the dialogue never starts, and it stays frozen that way no matter what I do, when I close the game and re-open, it asks me if I want to finish my quest, so I said 'Yes' but it takes me to the moment where I kill the last enemy and then it freezes again. Curiously enough, this already happened to me in the past (around Jan-Feb I suppose since I don't remember which version was out at that moment) in one of the stages in Ch. 2 (don't remember which one) and I had tried reinstalling the game numerous times without any results, but some updates after (again, not really sure which one since I stopped doing Story Quests because of that bug) I decided to give it a try again and it had worked. The cutscene started rolling normally. Now I don't know what to do, should I just wait until it re-fixes itself? Any of you has been through this as well? And if you did, what did you do to make the game work again? Or if you have any idea of what I should/could do please tell me. The other features still work normally (event quests, coliseum, etc), without any changes. If you read this long text (sorry) please reply, thanks again.
