I am getting this it looks fun, one question I know it is out of the context of this game, but where do people get information about upcoming mobile games?

This is a game I've seen pop up left and right, but I'm always weirded out by the difference between the general art style (that I really like) and how the chibi style of the tower defense and base management looks which is a major step down ...

Yeah this, I don't think I could dislike the art style of the actual game much more. Its like they tried to make it as bad as possible, so it looks like a bad western flash-game trying to look like anime or something.

I was excited when I read Tower Defense in the title, but it's one of those gacha waifu games. Shame. Guess I'm sticking with GemCraft and Bloons TD.

no pre-load on android yet from the looks of it?

on goes my I-Never-Reroll-For-Anything way of playing gacha games, who's with me? Glad to see it's not really needed here anyway

Is there like a... "week 1 guide" so we don't accidentally screw something up? difficult to understand the cited post above...

I'm with you. I don't have time to reroll.

I'm in.

Are usernames unique?

edit: names are not unique

Looks like there's an official version of Nox for this but regular Nox is working fine.

So is the 4* that I got at the beginning, Earthspirit, random or does everyone get her?

Edit: I believe she's random

So I got the guaranteed 6* and five 5* from the 10 pull. The 6* isn't the one I want but should I still keep?

Did one multi and got Shining, who gamepress lists as an A-tier Medic. That's good enough for me. Will probably keep pulling on the guaranteed 6-star and see if the game grabs me enough to keep playing.

Looks like there's some reroll prevention. People aren't able to clear their account data using the usual methods.

Anybody figure out which file to delete to reroll on Android? Clearing cache, storage and reinstalling still gets me the same account. Really hope it's not one of those situations where I gotta download some file manager or something.

Edit: On Android going to Settings > Google > Ads > Reset Advertising ID and then reinstalling the game is how you reroll.

Can someone help me with how to reroll in this game? I've tried uninstalling and then downloading it again but it keeps sending me back to my guest account.

Is the 5-star in the mail something every new player will receive when playing going forward, or basically just a launch player reward?

So what's the strategy? Is it to get a 6 star from the normal banner and then pull 20 from the discounted Beginner banner?

Im gonna assume this is very good initial roll.

Its the first line of the OP that its a gacha game. If you're on a gaming forum you are hardly so stuck for time that reading the first line rather than the title is going to ruin your life. Though as it's Chinese anime hardly applies.

Quit 0-1 and do a 10-pull on beginner banner, IIRC it should have the guaranteed 6* - easy mode is do this until you get the one you want most (Silverash/Exusiai are highly recommended iirc)
harder mode is the same, but two 6star units (second is rng)
if you want someone exclusive to the standard banner you can complete 0-1 and you have just enough premium currency to convert for a 10pull on that instead, otherwise you can quit 0-1 and do single pulls.

Android reroll:

1. Settings -> Google -> Ads -> Reset Advertising ID
2. Settings -> Apps -> Arknights -> Delete Data (it deletes that ~30Mb or something not 1.3Gb).

Thanks for the pointers. Although i did pull 5 or 6 times on the standard banner and got 6* Angelina and Siege...

Is this already an amazing outcome and I should be happy with whatever 6* I get from the beginner banner?

Does this game have an easy "data wipe" option ingame for rerolling or do I have to redownload 38472385GB of data every time?
