Finishing Chapter 7 unlocks Void Battles, which are a bunch of boss battles. The hardest Void battles, Void Agni/Zephyr, are previews of the hardest content in the game, High Dragon Trials. I'd say to give this content a spin, since it'll give you a good picture on whether you want to stay with DL for it's endgame, which is mainly based around difficult boss battles that require coordination.
We're also going to get Void Poseidon and a new mode called the Mercurial Gauntlet this month, which might be up your alley if you decide to stick around. Not too much is known about it aside from what's written in this Dev letter.
Indeed, though it's best to save your rolls for Gala/Limiteds/Dragon showcases to get the most value, depending on what you specfically want/need.
For sure, haven't summoned anything from this banner. Managed to amass 18 single summons and around 5 tenfolds so far
Hopefully there's a nice light dragon on the summer banner (light/summer it makes sense). I really hate that freaky little nerd, Cupid.
Just after releasing nurse Aileen? Not so sure.
I wonder if mercurial gauntlet is going to have daily consecrated water, hope so. I guess it'll be that and/or a new item related to that vague mention of further character upgrades.
What are all the 5.3s that are worth crafting these days? I want to craft Zex's End because (A) it looks cool, and (B), I have Odetta, Albert, Alfonse and Raemond. Surely it will become useful at some point, even if it's not now...
Basically I've invested a lot in sword chars, but all the other 5.3 swords look dumb.

One's a 4* and the other's a 5*, though. Totally different!
I personally don't think the summer event will be hitting until August either, as that's usually when GBF hold their summer banners. It'll probably be a lead-up to the anniversary gala starting in late August/early September, so it might not be THAT soon.
But hey, it's Cygames. They could release the summer event next week for all I know, haha.
Basically every 5.3 core weapon with a DPS skill is good for DPS characters, including Zex's End.
As long as they give us warning to build up some wyrmite like they did with fire emblem, sounds fine to me.
Congrats! I find Void Zephyr to be a fun fight even after the grind fatigue sets in. Verica was my first character to beat him too but I had to swap her out for s sword user after getting frustrated that other swords weren't force striking.
Seriously, a well-played Naveed triggers easy mode.
Played well, Void Zephyr can be soloed by one melee DPS on a decent setup (MUB Ifrit or better, any matching 4* Dull Res or non-Void 5* Elemental weapon, preferably a Sword character). Verica is fine for learning the fight and helping lesser skilled players clear more consistently, which is as far as most players bother to go. However, for someone who has farmed Zephyr as much as I have, I detest seeing her in my lobbies - at best she denies Marth's passive if I'm screwing up, at worst she does less DPS than an AI on my bench.
I've been around the block in terms of compositions, from learning the fight on Dull Res Naveed, to having a Solo Auto team with three MUB Dull Res weapons (Karl Phoenix lead, Marth/Naveed DPS, Verica), to my current composition of Co-Op Marth on a MUB 5* Elemental with Sinoa (and sometimes Xania if first join has an empty bench) on Dragon Delay Res and Dragon Prep.
I actually clear faster with a dead Co-Op corpse or two than I do when that player quits early. When Co-Op converts to Solo, the Co-Op AI will cause me to lose Dragon Gauge, which occasionally means I can't Dragon in time to avoid a Dull during Overdrive. I can still clear, but it turns a 2:30+ run into a 2:00 run.
Just to give an idea of how much I've farmed Void Zephyr/Agni, I'm sitting on ~50 Void Seeds and ~3000 Void Leaf, with the entire stock of Bronze and Gold Fafnirs purchased. Zero Squishums, but that's not the main reason I'm farming.

So I've been building Lily for HBH for quite a while now but didn't have Poseidon so I have always been underprepared HP-wise. I got Fjorm and was wondering if building her up might be a better use of resources.
I had been doing the same, even made Lily her 5.3 weapon, but couldn't quite make the hp and strength requirements without using all my sunstones to MUB Leviathan (and don't have Poseidon either). So I started working on Fjorm, got her V5.3 weapon up to 2UB (I had been grinding Agni, but not crafted anything since the start), and managed to clear HBH in a pub with the following build:
Fjorm Lv 80, 47/50MC (2 Co-Ability nodes open)
Lv 90 Void 5.3.2 Lance
MUB Lv 80 Vodyanoy
Lv 100 HBH print
Lv 80 Crystallian Envoy MUB
I have since brought her up to 50MC, but that was to help get into higher level pub groups. Still need to grind out Void Agni to get a few more materials to get the lance up to Lv 100. But that build was definitely viable. There are lots of Fjorms out there, and they seem to be preferred to Xanfried, though having a Lily in the group helps for her co-ability too, I think, judging from most of the final team compositions. Fjorm is really fun to play though, and I recommend her as a good, slightly more budget option.
Wow i could match that build exactly if I just make the lance, which I can do with a few more ruby orbs. Might finally get that HBH clear soon!
I can confirm that Fjorm makes what is normally the hardest High Dragon Trial relatively trivial. She's just so perfectly built for the fight that she's pretty much a preferred pick over anyone else for that fight.
Why bring Xainfried when Fjorm exists?
Why bring Orsem when you could have a second Fjorm?
Why team with Lily when you could have a third of the GOOD ice princess?
EVEN THANIEL ISN'T SAFE

Hearing this stuff (and some other things about her) makes me kinda sad I missed Fjorm.
Water went from being my strongest element, with 2 5* in that element around Christmas when I otherwise had 1 or 0... to now just about my weakest aside from dark. I have no real inclination to fight HBH anytime soon, but she'd be very nice to have for it. It was very amusing to get Marth (...less amusing to get twice in 2 10s) as I only had any affection for him, but in the end it seems she and to some extent Veronica would have been much more useful for me, hmm. Woulda risked the Platinum but those 2 Marths scared me, haha.

I really hate the new summon system. You work for ages to get enough wyrmite and it's like nine times out of ten you just get all duplicates with at least half being really shitty/useless 3* dragons. It's so incredibly anti-climactic now. The fact I haven't managed a 5* in 2 banners isn't helping..

But seeing a five star drop and it turned out to be a Wyrmprint was heartbreaking. I just accept that any 3* that I see summoned is another 150 Eldwater towards a Wyrmprint/co-ability.
I agree to an extent but Wyrmprints were/are important so at least you usually got some use out of them even if it was way more disappointing than a dragon or character. Now I'm just getting all trash for the most part and it feels like a very pointless exercise. Certainly the appeal (really, the sole appeal for me) of these kinds of games is earning enough to pull the gacha machine due to the hope of something good coming out but now it's just hopelessness and frustration for me.
But now if you get a rainbow and it's a duplicate adventurer, you can get eldwater and trade it in for the wyrmprint of you choice instead of hoping for a specific wyrmprint to fall, not to mention all of the extra eldwater we get from dragons/3+4* adventurers.
That's sort of the drawback of playing a generous gacha game since launch, at least from an "excitement" perspective. 90%+ of all your draws are always going to be dupes.
Ehh... I kinda have to agree with the feeling about summoning. Prints were annoying but are kinda more exciting than dupes? I think a decently lower chance of getting them and pity rate not resetting might have been fine in the end. Especially with the 2UB change (which dragons very much need now, I feel) making it easier to get a meaningful change out of dupes. But perhaps that would be better as a second banner vs having them in the main banners.
Cause it's true that the feeling comes mainly from having so much of what's available though, yes. Dupes make junk pulls feel worse but also even good ones can feel iffy. Like at Gala I did, what, 8 pulls and I think almost every one had a 5*, so I don't want to complain... but the vast majority were dupes, and that kinda sucked to see. It's hard to feel good about that luck when it takes the form of a ton of eldwater, which for me is just another number to arbitrarily let increase.
...I also kinda wish they'd add more 3*s more often, and figure out how to handle dragons better because they're kinda messy in terms of what you can use effectively right now.
regardless, that's why I'm just kinda not doing 10s for non-limited stuff for the time being; might cheat for dragon special but I don't desperately need what's gonna be rated up the most

It always surprises me seeing people pull 100+ times for characters such as Laranoa, Sylas, Student Maribelle, etc. They're fine characters, don't get me wrong, but I'd much rather have them spook me when pulling on a limited/gala banner (like what happened when I was pulling for Mym, and I got both Laranoa and Sylas) rather than eldwater. It's why I can't see myself EVER pulling on anything that's not limited or gala-related, even if I really want the character (like if they released a standard gacha Mym). Even with their rates up on their showcase banners, it'll be even easier to get them later on if I really wanted them, through the Pick Tickets which Cygames have shown they're willing to do (our next will likely be at the one year anniversary mark).
All in for summer but only up to a point, as I want 300 pulls minimum ready-and-waiting for the anniversary.

its pretty much like this for all gacha games, just be thankful we're not limited to single pulls (hi single pull sparks in granblue). I"m the complete opposite with 3s, I much rather they add five stars in a much higher rate.
To be honest, people aren't. Only non limited banner that really did solid after the first gala was Curran and Heinwald's (and while those designs were cool I think the bigger thing was that most people's weakest element was dark).
And next dream summon/suprise ticket has been datamined (was datamined at the same time as the dragon banner was at the beginning of the event; so it's probably going to be really soon.

Some people are (according to YouTube), but then that's probably just a small section of whales so I'm not sure it's fair to put too much weight into it. I had no idea that a new Dream Summon was datamined, that's incredible news! If the new Maribelle or Fire Dragon is in there, I'll be very tempted. If not, I'm not sure who I'd get as I've been pretty fortunate with my pulls. Maybe Cerberus, as I've still yet to pull her...
Sakuya's def in.
As for rolls, I don't know the game's pretty generous so if people sacked, say Mym in under ten rolls why not go for maribelle especially if they are a kanahana fan or something.
Oh man, definitely going to go for Sakuya if I can! If she's in though, so would Maribelle more than likely...

A difficult choice lies ahead. I'm a pretty big Kana Hanazawa fan myself...
I don't think it needs to be and if/than. They can still allow us to buy wyrmprints with eldwater and to summon them.
I saw that it was datamined but Dream being soon is kinda surprising. Thought there'd be longer before the next one.
...I'll probably get normal Maribelle. And then have to decide between her and Lin for my Mercury alt; I'd be tempted to do both, but I don't know if that's worth the investment. So... we'll see. I've actually been doing a decent amount of extra runs anyway since it usually is pretty quick to get a good group; think I'm already around 1/3 of the way to MUB + level 1 fafnir, which is nice to see.

I have had stupid luck with my daily discount pulls since this banner started.
Got Mikoto (finally) on my first pull. Then a day later I got Serena. A few days of dragon and dupe 3 stars. Then this morning I pull Student Maribelle. Not that I needed any more fire units but for 30 diamantium I'll take it.

All this eldwater has made it so that I can get someone to 50 mana circles whenever I do a big summon session.
I'd get prints instead but I've got no freaking water

I've still got uhhhh 923 consecrated to spare.
But I've only bought stuff when I really needed it. No real need to buy more pronts unless I actively need to use them, so I think it's mostly been some TSO dupes + I think some King's Countenance dupes + event/limited stuff. Plus I've had some luck with drops; I definitely expect to have a MUB Heavenly Holiday by the time of High Zodiark since I've already gotten a couple and had 2 to start with, and I'm similarly hoping that I won't need to buy stuff like Levin's/RR as I've gotten some from drops. Might have to spring for something for High Mercury, but depending on which prints I go with and what I farm for soon, even there I might be sorta supported by drops...
meanwhile, I splurged and finally made Sword Squad's weapons last night after talking about it forever...
(prints are all shared and not dupes and kinda arbitrary, the original sword is the same one and the fire 5.3 is the same one, I just enhanced to fire + used 2 ingots + dismantled + crafted the 3 swords)

You know about the 3 a day you can buy in the store right?
Well, yeah, that's the other thing; I haven't really used keys yet so I'm trying not to buy too many of one, unless it's the event prints where I might want them on everyone. And... even then, thinking about it, I could always key for the first UB on one and just have 2 dupes. I only bought 3 Heralds with the keys in mind, at least. Probably shoulda bought only a couple TSOs and keyed the rest too, but oh well.
