All the Choir characters except for Lucretia kinda sucks.
Their energize mechanic is quite bad unless you have few of them.
But if that's the case you're better off bringing other characters with party wide buffs.
I can't for the life of me understand why they released another Light healer and a Light bow user. There are now 5 Light Healers and 4 Light Bows meanwhile there are only 1 Light blade, sword, and dagger user and they are all 3*. This is compounded by the fact that last banner they released the 4th wind bow user, 2nd 5* one, when there is currently no Wind sword user.
So I guess that means we will get a shadow Dagger user for Christmas (marking the 4th shadow dagger), when a Husbando wielding a giant axe in a Santa outfit makes way more sense and plugs an obvious shadow element hole.

to be blunt, these events are designed to be easy. They want you to be able to clear them and get a good amount of rewards. I also do think they kinda screwed this up for new players a bit, by not making elias a different weapon type and ... not the worst in that weapon type as well.
HMS and the other high dragons are supposed to be endgame content (along with the new post ios/master dragons content).
Yeah. I can see the 'energize' function get more use if you have 2-3 characters in the party that can raise it, so I'm interested seeing how a party with all 3 is (I only have Vixel and Elias).
You also have another version of the second song in Pia's story that I'm guessing is by her voice actress.
Well Irfan may be 3 star but he's built for most of the vanilla light selection. He gets a 15 sec strength buff for every defense buff he gets, on a team with Julietta, Hope, and Ryozen, you'll probably get some mileage out of him.
These are the kinds of elements I like, things like this that could help weaker units find a niche.
These energize things looked like a lame idea on paper that they implemented anyway. Game is nothing but mistake after mistake mechanic wise.
I'm tempted to use all of my single tickets, I still don't have a 5 star character. I pulled everything except Lucretia, so maybe I should wait until the next banner.
Goes to show how speedy the response was, must have been quite a lot of feedback.
The best way to use single tickets is to increase the pity rate before doing a buncha tenfolds. Like, if you do daily pulls, want to tenfold until you hit a 5*, and you need 2 more before increasing the 5* summon chance, then use 2 single tickets to get the increased rate before tenfold summoning.

I really feel like the energize mechanic would be better if more characters combined their energize moves with a secondary effect. Even something like giving Pia a self attack buff and Elias a party defense buff whenever they sing would do a lot to make them more useful.
Other than the EX rate change, some raid changes that I do like that I noticed:
1) They took out 2* Wyrmprints and weapons, replacing them with bronze whetstones and holy water in the Blazon Summons. There's also less of them, and they increased the amount of good drops like silver materials. It's also nice to not need to worry about constantly going back into the upgrade screen to burn all the weapons/Wyrmprints you eventually got through the raid battles and blazon summons.
2) Similarly, the raid boss itself drops bronze whetstone and holy water instead of 2* Wyrmprints and weapons.
3) They added more Elwater to the Emblem Rewards, over 2K more Elwater from what I can tell compared to the last raid.
4) The boss battle not having a stage you need to go through beforehand means it's much faster to grind out otherworld fragments.
While I feel like more hardcore folk will feel the raids are fairly easy, I believe raids are primarily meant for the newer/intermediary players. It's why every single raid has you play 5 missions or so of really easy stages and makes you play beginner/standard before Expert/EX. Players either working towards HMS or are currently doing HMS are gonna get more appropriate content when we get the additional quest difficulties past Expert/Master and when the next High Dragon launches in mid-December.

I went ahead and spent the free ticket and ended up getting everything from the banner except Cupid and the spear girl (the banner fooled me too because I got a 5* Dragon and *thought* got literally everything but it ended up being Leviathan for some reason). Cupid was actually the main thing I wanted (str boost passive with an AoE heal active sounds so nice) but I will hold firm on saving the rest cause if Santa Ranzal's around the corner I want to be as ready as possible.
I must say that if you get a bunch of people with Energize effects in a raid it's quite noticeable, and the Light caster lady's spell effects are pretty and seemingly effective enough. I've been able to do respectable clears hosting as Julietta/Lucretica/Vixel/Elias hovering at about 10k Might, but I don't think I'm going to have the patience for the title. Sans getting Juli from the Thanksgiving pull I got everything else just now and don't have the resources to to take them high enough to offset the average snobby whale PuGs. I want to farm FGO as well so my time's limited.

other than the chasing vortex most other attacks are "easy to evade", most people are prioritizing DPS for the 90 seconds run cause EX is so scarce right now
This also means it will be more difficult to get 15 copies of dragon arcanum for new players from now on.
While it's nice, it isn't absolutely necessary for new players to have fully unbound Dragon Arcanum. For clearing EX, for this raid at least, the biggest thing is just having a Dragon right as the fight starts, anything extra just helps the run go smoother. To better compensate, a new player can equip 4 copies of the normal Dragon Arcanum on everyone for 20%, since the event Wyrmprint no longer gives a damage bonus. Doing this, a new player only needs 8 copies of Dragon Arcanum for 23% dragon vs 24% with 3 fully unbound and an event Wyrmprint for the past raids.
Yes, but it's already difficult to get 4 in a short lapse, nevermind 8 copies. I'm at the 4th chapter in a new alt account and only have two. With this pace it's improbable I'll get 8 copies by the end of the event.
So the question that raises is, where to farm the arcanum card?
...Ok nevermind, I saw that chapter 2 drops it pretty easily.

I also think it's sorta... not great, to get whetsones? I'd rather have the weapons I can sell (for an extremely tiny amount of money, but still) than exp items I will never use. Ever since someone pointed out to me the sheer amount of whetsones you get from IO I've just sold all the weapons.
It feels like weapons take a weirdly low amount of EXP to level compared to anything else?

Haven't actually used Maritimus in action, but how tightly can you control his special movement? Can you still swerve around to hit the same target?
The weapons don't help that much until unbinded, so I feel like its about where it should be since you have to level up multplie ones. You don't have to do that with other things. You don't have max each dragon before using it in an unbind for instance.
Yeah, was just about to say grinding Chapter 2 is A LOT more energy efficient than doing the raid in the hopes of getting it from Blazon summons. New players will have an over abundance of wings they can use for the raid, while dedicating their energy to farming for Dragon Arcanum if they're super unlucky. With the change so every level up rewards 12 wings, new players are gonna be able to non-stop grind raids with wings.
Like I said, I feel raids are mostly geared to newer players, and a new player won't have access to IO for whetstones.

I haven't tried swerving but probably not; his attack does not last long enough to go back and hit someone anyway
sometimes, against big targets, it will get stuck against them before rolling past and hit a couple of times instead of hitting once and moving on
maybe the whole point is his bonus to strength and hp but haven't done the math
Is Lucretia that much better than Amane? I got Amane and I'm not sure I wanna pull anymore for Lucretia.
They miswrote how much the rate would increase in getting a 5 star for the pity rate as something less than what is was. I'm honestly surprised something that small would prompt a free 10 fold.

Well they goofed up with the wording on the welcome ticket originally (not sure if they changed it) so maybe they are sensitive to errors concerning the gacha.
The welcome ticket says you get a 5 star and didn't mention what happens if you get a double. Even if you get a double its more valuable and not equal to 3000 eldwater. Some people complained about that and had to get refunded through itunes or android since cygames didnt seem to do anything about that. Maybe this is just them making sure the dont goof up in other areas concerning it.
That's great. For dragons I consider they give them 1/5 of them at time until you max unbound them.
My ludicrous luck in this game continues. Got nothing on the first 10 ticket and another 10 pull, I already have Julietta and HElly so I decided not to pull any more and stay at 8k wyrmite.
Did a what the heck 10 pull with some event wyrmite and got my 2nd Leviathan and first Nidhogg. Now have a 5* dragon for every element. Hour or so later I got the second tenfold ticket, got 2 Unicorns, Lucretia, Pia, and Vixel.
I have Ezelith, Julietta, Xander, HElly, Lucretia for 5* heroes (and promoted Eleonara). 2 Leviathans, Agni, Cerberus, Zephyr, Jeanne, Nidhogg for dragons. Decent amount of 5* wyrmprints but nothing outrageous. I've spent $3 of Google rewards money and didn't reroll. Don't know what I did to deserve it.

But cupid is the featured unit and what I was aiming for :/ Well I will use them to unbind both copies I have
I guess? But it's only 2 2* weapons = 1 bronze whetsones, and now non-new players get something actually worthless instead of 50 rupees. Which is barely anything, so I'm not exactly bothered by the change given that getting more of other materials are probably more important, but it's not nothing and adds up.
Yeah, that's fair enough. Just feels a bit weird to look at when you're building one thing at a time, but it does add up. Guess I should actually do the math on that, and see if I do indeed have enough to instantly make those four other 4* T2 MUB staffs I'll need or not.. Cause I'm pretty sure I do, but it'd be nice to be certain.
Any news on when this will release in Europe? Have a shitty phone atm, but getting a S9 next week and I'd like to try this out.
Yeah, I'm saving it because all I kinda wanted was Vixel (kinda purely due to his VA), I got him, and Cupid's not worth pushing my luck for. I have Amane, so I don't need Lucretia.
I guess I'll just do 2 free 10 pulls next time then. Actually, I'm still building up solo tickets; maybe I'll do 10 of those and then the 2 free 10s and not use any wyrmite at all.
I come to the conclusion that 5* dragons are the most valuable resource on the game, considering how much they are important for really levelling up the team. Even 4*s are really precious for me, considering how better any gacha 4* in general is compared to a welfare dragon.
