I'm very confused that they are doing another light facility event, I guess this somewhat explains how they plan to bring everyone's power level up to tackle end game content. We really need some new content though.
I'm in the exact same boat. I got Ieyasu rather early but then just kept pulling hoping for the Dragon, and got nothing (until a dupe Ieyasu)i am so mad that i pulled so much on the previous banner. I wanted the dragon so bad ;_; didn't even get him, and only had enough leftover wyrm for a single tenfold, which of course did not get me Sarisse. Doubt I can get enough for another pull, oh well.
im in dire need of light gacha dragons, i should part ways with all these event dragons.
The rate up for Sarisse totally sucks! It might actually be worse than a normal banner.
Normal banners, you have a 0.5 percent chance of getting the rate up unit. Then if you whiff on a rainbow, every 10 rolls gets you a 0.5% increase in 5* rate of which 0.0625 goes to the rate up adventurer. So after 1 10 roll, Sarisse's rate is 0.5625%.
For the gala, its initially also 0.5 % chance of getting Sarisse. The pity rate also goes up by 0.5% each time, but now Sarisse gets only 0.04% of the boost! To keep it proportional most of the pity rate boost is going to non-featured adventurers, dragons and wrymprints. Plus due to the higher rates for everything, you are likely to get pity broken even earlier! So after 1 10 roll, Sarisse's rate is 0.54%.
In short, if you just want Sarisse, this is a bad thing. If you are ok with other 5* adventurers and dragons, its still okay.
The value of the Gala banners go up with the less 5*'s you have. It's terrible for someone who regularly tries to get the non-limited rate up 5*'s every banner, since you're much more likely to get dupes, but for someone who hoards their currencies throughout several banners or is relatively new and missed some of the initial banners, they have a really good likelihood of getting something decent from spending their wyrmite/tickets only on Gala banners.
Same boat for me. Didn't get Ieyasu or the dragon last banner and now barring some unforeseen generosity by them, my only tenfold on this one was a massive bust. A single 4* wyrmprint. Ahh well, such is life.i am so mad that i pulled so much on the previous banner. I wanted the dragon so bad ;_; didn't even get him, and only had enough leftover wyrm for a single tenfold, which of course did not get me Sarisse. Doubt I can get enough for another pull, oh well.
Its terrible if you want the rate-up unit period. if you did 10 rolls on Ieyasu banner, you are more likely to get Ieyasu, than if you did the same trying to get Sarisse. And people pull mostly for the rate up units.
I've stopped because of that, since I just want Sarisse. I did get Garuda and Cupid, which is nice since I was also lacking dragons (less so now), and also a dupe Mikoto (which may well be Sarisse if they did a regular rate up, okay probably not, but I can dream)
That's true, but unlike normal limited adventurers, Sarisse is coming back every 2 months. So even if someone doesn't get her this round, they can try again much sooner than the usual limited characters who seem to only be available once a year. In the course of a year, she'll have more rate-ups than any other adventurer.
Hopefully you are right. I'm not sure how it works in other games by Cygames, but there's also a chance that even if she's available, it won't be on rate up and just as a featured unit in the pool. We'll see in 2 months, I guess.
If it makes any sense, I care less about how often a unit gets a rate up vs how easy they are to get when they are on rate up. I would much rather a 0.75% starting Sarisse rate and pity rate acting as per normal, even if Sarisse is available only once a year. Why spend say 20k Wrymite across 2 banners for 1 unit when you can spend 15K on a single banner? I spent 15K on Halloween Elisanne and got nothing, so being on multiple banners at an even lower rate just means I have to spend even more if I really want the unit.
Plus its a Fes, which implies you are supposed to have better chances than usual of getting good stuff. So having the featured unit rate be lower than normal after taking into account the pity rate kind of sucks.
i have cupidIs there anything in the pool besides Lindworm? (Ignoring Jean on purpose because she's less likely to appear).
Let me just post my list. I spent 19500 wyrmite, 1 Tenpull, 1 daily and 20 single tickets. I got Sarisse on the last 10 pull.
New 4* and 5* stuff I got:
Adventurers:
- Gala Sarisse
- Musashi
- Pia
- Berserker
- 3 Xainfried Dupes
Dragons:
- 2x Jeanne
- Poseisdon
- 2x Agnis
- Cupid
- Garuda
- Quite a few 4* to MUB or near MUB some dragons
Wyrmprints:
- Resounding Rendition
- 2x Tough Love
- Kicking Back
- Sisters of the Anvil
- Armorer's Aspiration
- Braving the Unknown
- Promises in the Rain
- And again quite a few 3* and 4* to MUB or near MUB some
I also got 1 more 4* Wyrmprint. All of this gave me 20k Eldwater from hero dupes, 4150 from dragons, 3800 from wyrmrprint and I still have one 4* dragon dupe I could sell.
I remember when this game came out and I just never gave it a go. I've been looking for a new phone game to play...How is this game for a new player? Is it worth it to get in?
If you start up now you'll still qualify for the New Years log-in bonuses which will get you three ten pull vouchers and 2k wyrmite. (1.5k wyrmite will get you a ten pull) They also extended the free 5* character voucher giveaway so you should still get that as well.
Plus right now there's a special banner that has increased the 5* pull rate from 4% to 6% so it is great for anyone starting out who is probably interested in anything 5*.
Now is the perfect time to join. Get on it!I remember when this game came out and I just never gave it a go. I've been looking for a new phone game to play...How is this game for a new player? Is it worth it to get in?
So if I'm starting today, any tips on how to play and maximize my chances for "good" units? Do I need to worry about rerolling with this game?
Gala is definitely the best thing to hoard for if you only care about getting general 5* adventurers and dragons, not any specific one. There's gonna be horror stories of only getting Wyrmprints, but on average you get more useful stuff per Wyrmite spent. It might be ideal to essentially keep hoarding until the end of year Gala, but I think any Gala is a good time to cash out compared to other banners, as long as you're fine with not getting limited's. If my F2P no pulls alt wasn't barred from pulling, I'd definitely put everything towards one of these Gala banners, since the only content that potentially requires the gacha is High Dragons.
I think the dragon gala is easily the best general gala there is.
It usually gets mentioned the day or two before.Is there gonna be the usual 10 fold for the next event banner? I haven't seen anything mentioned about it so far.
I can't even get mad since I have a better chance of getting a dupe than not at this point.Also, FREE 5* voucher to everyone currently playing! Look forward to that Eldwater.
Yeah, free is free. Even if I get a duplicate (I'll probably get a duplicate), it's hard to complain.I can't even get mad since I have a better chance of getting a dupe than not at this point.
