I don't have much use for runes right now, lol.

I know this day is a big deal but I level up people rune farming so I regularly farm them.

I do this all the time tbh. I like countering teams. For me it's not rage I enjoy figuring teams out lol. It does become rage when I end up switching gears around on units tho

I'm already through my liefs. I'm on the skystones now and it's worrying me how they don't buy that much stamina.

Finished off lorina's and momo's trees (which were both mostly done). Gonna grab a bunch of greens for Fluri and then call it a day.

Really missing an option for "Run this stage until I run out of stamina"

I believe they said they're looking into doing auto-stage by using stigma, which would be interesting.
I've never had to use them to pengs for gold or megas for fodder. Almost have 250k, so curious about the pricing if they go that route.

Rune grinding got a lot better once I found I could do it without a healer. So RR, Clorina and Sol + something to level.

RR's lifesteal + healing on a kill + lifesteal set on lead unit is apparently enough to take down the green rune 10 level, so that's nice.

For the past few weeks, I haven't had a clear goal in mind for the game. I was sitting on a good bit of resources because I didn't know who to build and didn't want to "waste" anything by building someone I didn't need. I just resigned to doing hunts and side stories while leveling dogs for weeks.

But now I finally have some direction. My arena team isn't cutting it anymore (went from Champion V go Challenger III and can no longer climb), so I thought I would try revamping it. Kinda want to try Ludwig, Blaze Dingo, Challenger Dominiel, and Celeste. I needed destruction gear for Dominiel, which leads me to research ways to get my Banshee runs shorter or at least more consistent. The speed tuning for Banshee is a nightmare. I tried the auto oneshot Ludwig, Cidd, C. Dominiel, and Diene team, but I realized having C. Dominiel on the team would cause problems. As I get better gear for her, her change in damage output was sure to screw up my runs. So I tried to fashion a team without her, but it didn't work, so I'm back to the slow auto team I had before, unfortunately. Thank god for free equip weekend.

But it's nice to actually have a goal in the game again.

Grinded out the dark runes need for Clorina's skill tree. Pretty fruitful event so far. Really hope they do events this way from now on instead of the "couple hours a few times per day" nonsense of past events.

Wasn't able to play as much as I would have liked, but managed to almost complete Montmo's skill tree (from having almost none of it done). These last few days have been very productive. Wish we had these kind of boosts more often (like once a month or every two months).

Twinkle twinkle muthafuckas. I must've accidentally dumped every single bit of luck I have in this game on the daily free roll stat. At least now I have someone to fall back on when they nerf Ruele to oblivion.

Went overboard yesterday and filled Fluri's entire skill tree.

Now I have to hope I get decent gear today because I don't have crap for her lol.

congrats I got her a couple of weeks ago and all I want now is Iseria

Heh, let us sacrifice farm animals to the gods together then. She had a rate up banner fairly recently so I don't see her getting another one anytime soon. Still, I understand Tama only absolutely needs Iseria for Arena and GW, the stuff she's really good at is Raids and Abyss which is the kind of content I'm lacking manpower for. I'm pretty happy about it even with no Iseria to max her potential.

And of course, keeps my "all you get is fire" nat 5* streak going.

I read on Reddit about some furry artwork winning an art competition only to be pulled after Smilegate allegedly found out the artist draws NSFW homosexual furry stuff as well. Does anyone here know more about that? I don't want to support a company that would pull that kind of stunt, so if I sense ill will against the queer community, I'll delete my account for the game permanently without regret.

It's just straight up R18 stuff. Apparently they had the rule but never mentioned it beforehand. It's a bad look, and a stupid rule, but it's not anti-LGBTQ.

A rule that mysteriously appears after a winner has been selected is more than a little bit shady. Furthermore, if the winning drawing was not sexual, I don't understand why the artist's other works would be of significance. It simply sounds like a backdoor for them to take it out of the competition after the fact.

No doubt it's shady, but I'll wait to see how they react to this in the future. If it's a rule and applied consistently, whatever, it's their contest.

It probably happened because some homophobe reported it to them and they knee-jerked.

Knee-jerk or conscious call, this is a kind of decision I can't tolerate. If there is any way to transfer accounts while changing username and the associated email address, and anyone here is interested in a veteran's account (global), let me know and we can figure something out. If nobody comes forward, I'll delete the account outright.

I don't know why you're having such a knee-jerk reaction when we don't even know the whole story. They said they disqualified the art because the artist had R18 Epic Seven content in his portfolio. As far as everyone knows, this is the reason. No other winners have had R18 content, so it's unknown whether or not this is because it's R18 or some anti-LGBTQ measure.

But go ahead, it kinda seems like you've been looking for an excuse for a while.

I dont think that possible - asked the customer service once about this and they told me they dont de-link game accounts from gmail/facebook etc.

that is bullshit if he got dq because of what he drew outside the competition, I bet the runners up draw nsfw art too.

Isn't this a bit ott? I mean yeah it looks suspect, but unless we have some evidence to support this I don't think we should be accusing people of something so hefty. I'm not defending them, I'm just saying we should get all the facts first.

Does anyone else feel that the double rates for rune and hunt drops should actually be the basic rates?

What kind of evidence or facts do you expect us to get? Short of them coming out stating that they don't want furry or even vaguely gay shit to win their competitions, nothing will be able to prove things in a definitive manner. And that's not going to happen. We already know that the rule they cited for the disqualification had not existed until the piece took the winning spot. It's just a sad fact that anything out of the perceived sexual norm tends to be scrutinized and sanitized to hell and back, or just flat-out removed in this case.

It's the common sentiment from what I've seen.

Every match to Legend took 5 minutes plus, it'd be much easier to climb with a Tama/Iseria comp or an Aux Lots/BBK cleave. It was very safe though because it could basically take on any comp, so I never needed to refresh the list. Very time consuming though. :blobdead:

When you use a Speciality Change on a character do you get a new Skill Tree ? I farmed some of them for Montromancy & Lorina just in case.

Yeah I farmed to Legend I with a similar comp. Iseria + Angelica instead of Carmin/Krau. 8+ minute matches.

If I had a winner for a fan art competition and wanted to post "check out their deviantArt", but their deviantArt was full of pornographic stuff (soft, hardcore, gay, straight, furry... doesn't matter), I'd also get cold feet as a community manager.
But I don't want to make excuses, I have no idea what happened.

It's quite possible that some assholes specifically caused a ruckus about it because of furry discrimination, and they wanted to avoid more angry jerks raging on their forums and removed the entry at their discretion - contest rules usually allow the contest holder to disqualify entries for undisclosed reasons.
There's definitely ways to handle it better, and I feel sorry for the artist first and foremost that no other solution could be found.
I also really don't envy their community managers at the moment, they're probably in hazmat suits, not knowing which fire to put out first.

Yes, you get an additional rune tree. Everything you already specced stays and still applies as well, so no worries.

Got Cecilia for my freebie pull today. Does she excel for any content that I need to prioritize her or let her sit on the bench for a while?

Spent about 11 leifs yesterday completely filling out Lorina's skill tree and part of Kluri/Hazel's. Barely even use her other than in labyrinth, mainly just did it for completion.

I feel like I am on the verge of being able to auto W11 soon. I just need to another piece of gear with defense % for Angelica, and upgrade the gear of my offensive units.

Does anyone else feel that the double rates for rune and hunt drops should actually be the basic rates?
I feel like nearly all of the event bonuses in this game should be standard. But nothing is more annoying to me than getting a single greater rune per run.

This Boost Event was a success - kickstarted my couple of days old account quite a bit.
Ended up with a perfect one including Song of Stars as one of the free Artifacts + Schuri from the 4* Adventure Mode pull. Rosa Hagana and Infinity Basket as Story Rewards.
Wasnt going to take this one serious but then i saw bonus EXP and runes coming up and decided to go in.
Managed to SC Mont, unlock Lorina and level up most of the units. ML Pull was Pyllis - first time owning her...she doesnt do much but i like her defensive kits. Wouldnt mind at getting her at least to 5* for Abyss if i get Aurius down the line.

Tama/Iseria/Bellona/Schuri combo was brutal against the PVE story bosses - most of them never had a chance to attack lol.

Next 6* is going to be Lorina once i can SC her - this is gonna take a while. Gonna rely on free pulls for and hope to get Kiris for later Abyss stages and maybe as better Artifact for Tammie. Otherwise im more than good with my Archer squad.

Grats - not really but then again it depends on what units you already own and invested in.

All I can say about all this farming:

Flat stats.

Flat stars everywhere.

I know, I think for all the hunts I did this weekend I only had one or two decent pieces drop that wouldn't even go on my core. I did however roll a nice epic Destruction armor for Cermia that had the exact same stats as my Level 55 only Level 85.

I leveled up a ton of non-ideal gear this weekend too just to build up a few more units like Iseria, Lilibet, M. Hazel, and Rikoris. It isn't great gear but hopefully good enough for them all to serve their niche roles. Feels like a waste of gold but at the rate that good stuff actually drops...I'll have enough by the time I really need to upgrade something.

Edit: Cursed Compass on Iseria who needs to defense break Golem on first turn is a real blessing, should have been using that all along, makes auto so much more reliable.

I can actually 3 man a manual run now in G11. Sol just does so much work with the Greater attack buff and a defense break. Doesn't outright kill Golem but Volcanic Viper finishes it off.

I'm actually auto-ing G11 now at a 50% clip with a fodder. Sol is such a beast.



Currently speed tuning my 4 man team so Iseria always has her S3 up at the beginning of Golem fight. Even if Sol's S3 isn't up, Cermia wrecks and then Sol counters with Volcanic Viper.

The new GvG defense is ready. I don't foresee us staying in top 10 for long but it's a nice feeling so far.
