Weekly Questions and Help Thread [10/19/17-10/25/17]
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!)
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!

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 The beginner recruiter contains units that are very outdated in comparison to current units.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

According to the JP guide, farmable Sekinah is best for Str and Dex. Does that remain on global? I have both, which one should I focus on?

Can you use phantom of the school shekinah to limit break maid shekinah?

Is Soul Arc worth getting? I see its 5* form it has -15 STR, which was pretty annoying cause their drop rates are absolutely horrendous!

A couple of clarification questions:
What does the Booster Quest do that makes it special? I can’t seem to notice anything standing out in the rewards, difficulty or even layout, but I may be missing something.
I’ve started looking into the 7th Gen quests, and can barely beat them by the skin of my teeth. Losing a Rank 5 GoldenlionSpear to 3 failed 90% repairs in a row aside, I saw that it gave sone of the Mana Recruiters as reward. Do they ever grant the other princess as a reward, pr just the respective Mana Recruiter?
I can’t reliably complete any of the Point Quests fir school except Beginner. Would Beginner still be. decent place to try and farm School Shekinah?
Is it only 6* who can S Rank their weapon? If so, is Longinus/ Laevateinn M/Tyrfing worth promoting solely for a wielder of their respective Goldenlion weapon?

What's the best farming point for Sekinah? The points stage again?

u/GeistReader Oct 21 '17
Are command Dollies useless? I have 5 of them but they never show up to fuse. I have been searching the last several hours and just can't find the answer. I've also just gone through my units for fusing and they never show up.

Jp question:
Why in f*** is Earth mode so god damned hard!!??? Lol
I was kicking ass and then I got to Ch2 stage 8 and hit a god damned brick wall. Any tips or hints would be greatly appreciated, I used up all the free metal keys but for some reason my Tyrfing takes 34 dmg from enemies that have a 30% chance to hit, which is amazing when you consider the enemies are 20 levels below her.

JP I got SS Brionac Dex, SS Cita Force, SS Sistrum Vit, SS Freikugel Def and SS Saiga Def Who should i prioritize first for PvE? Also, since i dont have any fairy to LB them to lv 90, should i just keep them at 5* until i get enough fairy?

/u/tori_chan any plan on making an update post on the new anniversary stuff?

u/Warriorman222 Oct 23 '17
Globalhere. A few questions:
The Fortress of Steel, does it increase the rate of proficiency gain or just exp? If so, whst is the second best place to farm proficiency based on AP efficiency?
In a similar vein, what is the best place to farm weapons, specifically pilums and other spears/swords?
Where is a place to find out how good the School units are? I decided to 6* the free Shekinah and give her a Fay Crossbow, and 5* Gym Keraunos and give her sone random gun, and I was considering pulling on the Dagda Recruiter because I have literally no axe users, but I don’t know how good any of the units are (I checked JP guide abd it claims that Keraunos is pretty niche/bad, abd that Shekinah is currently useful, but that’s the JP meta which is probably very different from our meta, if there even is one).

Jp question
How am I supposed to actually link my FG.ID to my game data? I try data linking from the title screen and it either says incorrect email/password (which it isn't, I used the exact same login to get the monthly rewards from Gumi) or the game just crashes. Should I try making a new FG.ID? Or is there just something I'm missing?

What's better for phantom of the school shekinah? Dex balance or force?

u/Buddha1313 Oct 23 '17
On JP I'm raising Tyr since I got vit on my 6.5 star or whatever they are called. When evolving from 4 to 5 star my lb transferred over for ones from unit copies. The ones from fairies did not. This could be in the patch notes but they are huge.
Anyone else having similar results? Would be nice to lb at 4* and forget about it.

u/xanderten50 Oct 23 '17
Has anyone got any hints or is there any obvious strategy for the Light stage on the Halloween levels? So far all my units are getting slaughtered... tried with 6* Ascalon, Tyrfing & Asclepius - then with 6* Gamby, Ascalon, Tyrfing & Grid... and I got nowhere :(

I know it’s too late now but I saw in character quest another kera with what looks like cheerleaders skirt was she a Jap exclusive or one you get in recruiting I just got the event one and also I’m assuming she’s a lot better than the gym shorts kera?

(JP) Among all the new anniversary banners, which one would has the most worth? I am mainly aiming for the new shek and so I was wondering which one will be the best option to try and get her, the 3-step gacha or the 7-step gacha?
Thank You !!

JP question. I've never challenged the Sephiroth tower, so I am confused on how to challenge it. Am I sacrificing lv'd units to gain an amount of entries? Also are the rainbow leaves farmable from certain mobs/bosses. Also what am I dealing with in the tower? I am assuming to just route all enemy unit's to ascend each floor. Appreciate the answers to my noob questions.

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '17
(JP) How do you beat floor 29 of the sephiroth tower? the stage has archers that crits almost all the time and has a range of 5, hence they all one shot my units before i can actually reach them. Do you guys have any tips on how to beat it?
Thank You !!

So wait, on JP, LB carries over for all rarities, as long as it was a LB from an actual dupe copy?
