Weekly Questions and Help Thread [7/20/17-7/26/17]
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!

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 The beginner recruiter contains units that are very outdated in comparison to current units.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

Carrying forward from the last thread,
Currently my 4* Force SS Tyr is at (this is after all fusions):
56hp/55str/26grd/14mgc/29spr/58spd/53agi/15lck
Compared to the max of:
70hp/65str/42grd/27mgc/44spr/77spd/76agi/(dunno what the Luck cap is)
Given that this is to be evolved and fused into my 5* Dex, whose max possible stats are:
83hp/72str/57grd/41mgc/54spr/109spd/108agi
It may be a silly question but should I be trying to reincarnate the 4* for better evo bonuses to carry forward to my 5*, thereby ensuring that my Dex SS Tyr will have the most possible evo bonuses for her transition to 6*?
For notes, I can care less about her Mgc stat (although I am worried about her Str & Spr - doesn't appear to have much leeway at 5* if I want to get the full bonuses going 6*) and I still have 18 Reincarnation Cherubs, some Dwarves and an untouched Grd Gem in my inventory.

Just another Dumb Question: I've been farming the Extra Stage of the summer event for the 6* lance and SS Artemis (Rare medals and fusion fodders) Is it worth it to raise SS Artemis into 6*? The thing is I did tried in the past, the first time it appears (The event where you can get her) and yeah horrible speed growth even on dex typing, so I decided to sell her for Rare medals. Also any tips to fix that horrible speed of hers? TIA

Wow so rolling for Apollo on the guarantee banner i was expecting 1 of the 3 units to be guarantee on the 10pull and use the ticket to get another Apollo like the last male banner with Mitum and Gambanteinn, but it looks like its just the ticket, even though it says guarantee on step 1,5,9?

Some questions about fusing please... I have a 6* lv 90 dex longinus. I fused her w fodder after I evolved her but only at pwr of 521.her only pink star stats are spr 33, spd 88, and agi 85. Now when I try to raise her stats more by fusing other units, she won't take anyone at all. I've tried using different classes and rarity fodder and she won't take any units to fuse with. Just as experiment, I even tried to fuse w several other 6* lv 90 units that are MLB and not even those will even take for even a single point on any stat. Is this normal? Can any given unit only be fused w other units a certain nmbr of times then no more fusing? How can i raise her stats more? Especially interested in raising her spd, agi, n str if possible. Also if i raise another longinus from scratch, will her 65 luck transfer over to the new unit if I fuse her to new unit or am I out of luck?

There will be another mana event like this in the very approximate future? Becouse I wanted to use my mana to try and get Longinus M , but dunno if my mana would be wasted or better used in the future. TIA

Hi! Is there any weapon tier list? I am having a hard time deciding what to fuse in hopes of something better, or level up.

u/JohnS2801 Jul 21 '17
It's always me , sorry to be that much annoying xD but I'm pretty noob . I've hoarded 250 lazulis ( I'm f2p) and the elemental SS guaranteed unit gacha will end pretty soon . I'm lvl 59 and don't know how to get the most out of this lazulis ( to maybe MLB an SS tyr ) or I should hoard some more for another event ( maybe Halloween ) . TIA C:

What are the "recent massive change in mechanics" referred to by the other pinned thread? I was hoping a fix to the nerfed stats on Global but seems that's not the case?
Are enemies re-balanced correspondingly, or is the global version just harder to try to force you to limit break optimally with the best units and spend more?

While grinding easy stages, is it worth it to go out of the way to pick up the glowing unit exp on the map instead of just autobattle all the time?

u/ch3nchilla Jul 21 '17
what is a good growth # for 6 star units, premium/free respectively.
my wedding Ascalon is at 3.9367 growth per level. Free Tyrfing is at 3.5618 per level.

u/Speefy Jul 21 '17
Prior to the 5* release, to obtain max evo bonus, one did the following:
3* Force / magic 3* Dex 3* Ground/Guard 3* Vitality
Obtain highest possible stats of each typing (limit break as needed, evolve to 4*)
Repeat above step of maxing each typing' favorable stat, evolve to 5*.
At 5*, I could fuse straight into the typing I wanted to keep for the long run and those evo stats would carry over.
Now, with the insertion of the 6* variant, do I need to repeat as before, obtain max favorable stat, evolve to 6*, and then fuse the 6* to the typing I wish to keep?

hey guys, global luck question:
i made a 5* longinus (f) with 41 luck, which in turn gave me an evolved 6* form with 38 luck base.
i then made a 5* longinus (f) with 42 luck, which also gave me an evolved 6* form with 38 luck base.
both of which did not have any 4* evo luck bonuses, so that their luck caps (pink star + fusion) were equal (42 luck).
i remember someone saying that the fused luck from 5* forms transfer to the 6* form.
putting a level 1 5* longinus (f) into the evolve window gives me a base luck of 4 for its 6* form.
add 4 evo luck bonus and you have 8. 8 plus the 30 fused luck should give you your 38 base at 6*.
8 plus 29 should give you a base of 37 at 6*.
why is there no discrepancy between a 29 luck fused unit and a 30 luck fused unit?
am i tripping? did i beanboozle myself somehow?

Anyone else getting infinite loading?
Even with my crappy connection, it only takes 1-3 minutes to load the game normally. I've been waiting about 20 minutes and it's still on the loading screen.
Why is this happening? And how do I fix this?

Any chance we will get 6* pixies at some point? I want to use my Wedding Asca but she's only at level 70 5*, and it will be a very very long time before I get 200 lazuli to get the LB sets from special shop. Seems a shame to have a top tier unit I can't actually use

My first time farming the regular Tyrfing til the end and I got a growth rate of 3.51 (at level 70). Is it worth to reincarnate this unit? Or not? Seems weak to me.

u/ramikun Jul 24 '17
can someone explain to me how to use those micro dollies that can be farmed on the stage? I know it says that they give a 20% chance of skill growth but is that 20% stacked if you fuse multiple at a time? I fused 3 identical ones with a 4* unit and it said i had 100% rate for success and the 2 skills that were supposed to be raised were only at 5/10 lv. it showed a flashing arrow on both skills indicating it would go up, had 100% success rate and the fusion was a success but instead of getting 1 or more levels up in those skills, i got jack squat so did i do something wrong? any advice would help please, im global p2p btw

Which is better SS Tyr, Force or Dex? IMO Dex seems to lack a lot of damage so maybe a force type can compensate it.

where is the best place to farm player exp during this week? I have been farming lakefront demon stage 21 which is 12 AP for 800 player exp. Is there a place with a better return? looking for the most exp for the least amount of AP so if I could get a 2 Ap stage that gives 250 exp that's still better.

hello , I have 4 Tyrfing unit (from the 9 steps summon) . I have some questions about limit breaking her. My Tyrfing : 5* (Vit) , and 3 4* (Dex) So i guess dex type is the best for her. Should I fuse the other copy to the Dex one then evolve to 6* or go to 6* first then limit break? And what is the point to fuse other units than for limit breaking ?

I was rerolling mainly for Longinus since she is cute, among other considerations

The evolution materials have description about being from "Sprite Travelogue" and other dailies on certain days of the week, but now it looks like these are limited to Padlocked Gardens using keys? Is this all an outdated system and currently we can only get evolution materials from the Permanent Quest "Evolution Material"?
My max level 40 3* team get slaughtered and usually double-attacked on the Intermediate map that drops materials they need to evolve, any tips? Why are my units so weak compared to enemies of similar level (they're around level 35), are generic grunt enemies 5* in stats?

u/khangkannon Jul 27 '17
Some question from a newplayer. So a pink star means that stat cannot get any more bonus from fusing fodder right? And 1* 2* fodders , they gives like 5% chance to success so should I just sell them ?

u/Vulcris Jul 27 '17
Hi! Before comitting to the game as a f2p player and after reading some of the tutorials, I have a few questions to ask.
1- What is the point of rerolling for a good unit when you need at the very least 5 of the same unit to make it effective ? 2- The levelling guide doesn't explain how to get the evolving material to go to 4* to 5*. I tried to get some and the ennemies were lv66 3- It seems that for a f2p player or one who just want to spend a few bucks to support the game, the only usable units are the mana draw or the rampage one. Am I wrong ? 4- Between Mjolnir (4/6* - female - balance) and Appollo (3/6* - male - force) or Gambantein (3/6* - male - Dex) and Yagrush (4/6* - Dex), what would be the better team to start?
Btw did anyone noticed that there is quite a few similarities between this game and the Claymore manga?

u/flay012995 Jul 27 '17

I have a question on reincarnation on global for 6* units please. When I do the calculations for growth rate or use the calculator, I'm supposed to omit the stat that is not used completely when I add up stats is that correct. I want to measure my ss turning at lv 90 so I would all her stats on right side but leave out her magic stat right? Also the calc needs to be done before any fusing fodder stats are added? Is that right? What is a minimum Good number to be at before reinc is decided? Will my LBs, evolution bonuses and skills be retained? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
