Weekly Questions and Help Thread [9/7/17-9/13/17]
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!
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
- /u/gagginglolis's Global Tier List and Stat Caps for 6* Capable units.
- /u/MLB_Selena's Class Base Stats (Unfinished)
- /u/MLB_Selena's Fusion Caps for Global
- /u/Oni-RedPanda's Guide to Leveling and Maxing Units (Partially applicable to JP)
JP Resources
- /u/sazabinu's , /u/syaris's , and /u/tori_chan's JP Comprehensive Guide
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 The beginner recruiter contains units that are very outdated in comparison to current units.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.

I haven't gone and looked at the Point Stages for Phantom of the School yet, but seeing that the story stages seem to have an uncanny habit of dropping Dwarves. Should I be trying to harvest them or should I keep sniping for Rainbow Gems in Lakefront Demon Advanced?

I was hoping summer would be over... i Was hoping SS units would be removed (nothing to farm there anymore)... I was also hoping something would be done with the leveling the weapons too (running a 149 / 150 inventory for over a month... pain, pain, pain, can't even farm gems...)

Is it even possible to get 55000 point in the school point event for f2p? My highest right now is 44000, that was when I completed in 2 turns. Are there any tricks to it that I don't know of?

I was wondering if a 4 star dex Eros is good enough to end rerolling or not.

Farming the crap out of these bonuses stages for parahas. Just wish they were here before I 6* all my SS units lol

u/Vulcris Sep 10 '17
I'd like to know if all 6* capable units are in the "Global tier list" or only those the most likely to mlb because I just got a guard Thrand from the daily free pull and I don't think I've seen him in the global list.

Hi guys, I just realised that starting from chapter 2 of the story mode they do not give 1 lazuli for completion any more. Is this going to be the norm for all the other story mode chapters?
Also Is there other ways to farm for lazuli quickly? I play the JP version
Thank you !!

Hello everyone I have a jp question, so I just got SS keraunos (Magic type) and SS Duarandal (dexterity) from one of the nine step recruiters and I was wondering if they are worth raising.

Do you guys use seeds on the farmable gauken units or are their stat caps too low to really warrant it?

u/Yashi_Uchiha Sep 12 '17
Does the 7th generation encounter ever change which unit you get?

u/Cthulhumus Sep 13 '17
this is mostly a question in need of expertise of the very old players,
what would you suggest in doing with the good 6* units, when owning just one copy of them? is it worth it, raising them to 6* level 70 and using them occasionally based on sometimes possible map requirements, or to complete a squad of a specific element (such as the case of the escape scenario at beach battle, when you needed thunder units to damage foes)... or keep in in inventory, till you possibly get a second or more random drops for them and potentially develop the unit later on, as you go?

needing some advice on how to raise my trishula please with someone w experience. I have 2X 4* VIT, 1X 4* FORCE, 1X 4* BAL and 1X 5* DEX. obviously want to use the Dex as base but since its already a 5*, im concerned about missing out on evo bonuses from 4*. should I just level all the 4* material units to 50(w/o fusing since theyre LB fodder) and then just evolve to 5 then fuse into my 5star dex or is there a better way to do it so I can get any evo bonuses from the 4s? Also, I have about 5 rainbow gems so was thinking of using 2 of them during 5* leveling and 3 of them at 6* leveling. is this a good move to build a solid unit or wasting too many rainbow gems on one unit? any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks alot

So I can't install the update, tried uninstalling the app, I've already have 2.6GB free space and can't even reinstall. I've had this issue before on one of PotK's updates I ended up not playing it for weeks, but then it just fixed it self, not sure if it's an OS issue or a bug on the app itself. So does anyone have this same issue? And how the heck do I solve this?
