New node is tougher. Might have to use arash with ishtar for double aoe into jalter np lol.

My friend code is 234,317,153 for anyone that wants to add. Joe is my master name.

I've enjoyed this event, but I'm kind of ready for it to be done. Having to use both BP and AP is somewhat time consuming. I still have a bunch of refills to use before the end.

We're pretty much going to jump into Onigashima next week followed immediately by Agartha to fit it all in before the anniversary so yeah I'd recommend just taking it easy if you're already feeling burnt out.

I don't really like the dual AP system either so I've decided to just stop clearing my BP on the days where I don't need the mat drops.

If you've cleared the damage ladder/shop, you don't have to use them. Just trade them in for QP at the end.
This is what I'm going to do. I have most of the important stuff in the shop purchased, and I've already cleared the point ladder. Can always use more QP!
That's a good point. I only need to get the mana prisms then I'm done, but I should be able to get that on natural BP with the remaining few days.

Best part of the event is no AP usage.

I had way more apples than I typically do so I spent all my silver/bronze and a couple gold apples on embers during the weekend. That combined with the success up let me max level as much servants as if it were a lottery event.

I bought the hearts and got a MLB Carp CE because I wasn't around for the initial run and that's about... all I cared to do outside of the dailies. Don't care enough to go up the points ladder for the lores when I still have a bunch and am low on QP anyway so I wouldn't be using them anytime soon.

Given my absolute boredom as I wait for the Onigashima rerun and I watch Raikou wrecking the banana I have decided I am going to level up Stheno.

Might as well eat the jelly donuts if you can stand replaying the fight over and over again. You can exchange them for QP when the event is over, but I think exchanging the gourds for QP is typically better value.

I find it really irritating that I spent over 100k friend points and didn't get 3 copies of the CE at least which I needed to mlb.

I think i've gotten only 2 times the 3* limited ce in the friend gatcha over the last 2 years, with prob 800k that was done in their timeframes (mostly trying to get Angra tbh), so i would not be suprised that the rates for the 3* are really low.

I'm glad it lasts beyond the 40 minutes, otherwise I would have been upset. I need my SQ!

Is it true that raid events are and have always been a great big lie? Apparently the shown total HP is pretty much unaffected by player actions, just a number being auto-regulated server-side, set to decrease at a constant rate such that it'll meet the goal at an appropriate time...

Players do influence the raids (remember Barbatos during Solomon), but they also do have checks in place to ensure we complete things.

I mean all the raids so far have ended at different times, so probably not.

What they have is probably a kill-switch if they detect that something isn't going to finish in time.

I've heard that if it looks like we're going to fail a raid, they bring in Albert and continually feed him golden apples until the goal is met. It could be a lie, I'm not sure.

Yep, you only need to see the Korea server when the Solomon raid was happening. Barbatos was killed in one day, but afterwards it stopped to a crawl and it stayed like that till the last two days where all the other demon pillars were nuked to kingdom come.

I mean, people are tracking the average total damage being dealt every second and the numbers from days two, three, and five are way too consistent to be anything but artificial. If people are exceeding whatever value they set like with Barbatos then the real data probably takes precedence, but otherwise it seems to just be counting down to a preset deadline.

Huh, just threw a ticket at dapper man's banner and got Assassin of Shinjuku. Looks like he's not that good right now but hey, a freebie is a freebie, I'll take it :P

Iirc when China flopped on guda guda 2 they literally got a measage along thelines of 'leave it to us ' and 80% of the bar just disappeared.

They'd never let an event fail, its look bad and they'd have unhappy players.

He's not the best archer out of here, so unless you are doing pretty well servants-wise you should hold off. Keep in mind the game will give you a pretty good archer at one point for free.

If he's your husbando go for it. He has one of the best character designs in the game. I rolled both of his banners without regrets because of it lol.

The new amount of hp Ibaraki and her hands have is really annoying for the 2nd to last day. Also Rider class is way too annoying to deal with since AOE assassin NPs mostly suck and Cleo is a hit and miss. Wish Rider was one of the earlier day class like before Caster.

Ibaraki has too much defense? for the regular friend Jalter even at 2 BP of bully node now too. So I switched to MLB Carp CE friend Merlin and my own Ozy since we don't have Skadi yet to make Jack shine.

Double buffs gives me almost 3 million. Also tempted to switch out Arash for someone else because Merlin does shit damage with the class being Rider.

Finished the ladder this morning. Didmt use any refills.

Also in the past week I got Billy the Kid to Bond 10 and just got Tamamo Cat to Bond 10 today. Guess I'll put Fran in the 3rd spot for my Ember grind team.

Would put Chacha but her NP is long as fuck.

She annoys me. Greatly.

Whats the best way to level CE's? Just sacrificing lowers and event exp up cards?

edit: misread

the best way to level up CE's are CE bombs and keeping the exp cards for bombs and using the bombs during event which increase the success rate for super and great success (like the one running).
