A few things I missed last night about JP 50M DL event :
1) They get to vote for 2 future legends! Those will be released later in 2020. First vote will be a pick between 4 choices : Ivankov, Bonney, Reiju, Sugar (???). Hope Ivankov wins, they totally deserve a legend card, should have happened years ago even. Bonney would be my distant 2nd choice since she's a Supernova and might (or might not) have a big part to play in the Reverie arc. I can totally see Reiju winning though, she's probably more popular than the other 3.
The 2nd vote will happen in 2 weeks, we'll probably get another batch of 4 characters to pick from. The notice also mentions that characters who lose might still get a legend later. Seems to point towards a much bigger diversity in terms of legends in the future, which I gladly welcome. There's chance for Moria and Arlong maybe.
2) AsianGuy translated the new legends details properly
here. Quite a few important things we still don't know. But Nami/Robin swap stores your set of orbs until you swap them again, not until next turn. Which is much better. The key part is we don't know whether it will work on Wa, Semla and Rainbow orbs or not. Would be extra busted if it was the case since you could swap on turn 1 with some units like Wano Carrot who gives full Wa orbs from the get go and just wait until boss room to swap again and get full Wa orbs.
Nami/Robin are extremely tanky too, which is nice too see. Built in damage reduction and 1.3x boost to HP and RCV.
Pudding positive buff storage DOES bypass pre-emptives, which is situationnal but absolutely gamebreaking. Could see people bringing her even in teams where she's not boosted just for that. Lawffy owners know first hand how often orb boost is interrupted but with Pudding you could pop the special on stage 4, store it then restore it on boss stage. Gamewith says it works with : ATK, Orb, Colour Affinity, Conditionnal ATK boosts. Chain lock isn't listed but we'll see later.
3) Was considering pulling for the new batch since I'm back to 450 gems a month after Luffy/Zoro sugo but I'll just happily skip it now that I've seen
the sugofest structure. Yet once again absolutely garbage boosted lists, over 20 legends, a good third of them being 2016 legends..... It's been over 6 months, probably closer to 9 months (last anni with Luffy/Law) since JP had a good sugo. Mindboggling why they've made the limited pools so garbage for a while. Must generate a ton of money though since they are sticking with it.
Imagine going up to the
18th multi and getting a Kizaru or Cavendish or Croc!!!!! You need to get to the 20th multi to get a guaranteed 2019 legend... Of course no discounted multi. We're given a free multi but it specifically says "no 2x legend rate" and the rate for the new units will be tanked for sure.
And this is why JP hands out more free gems than Global, you have to pull 40 multis per sugo to get something decent.
Wow, that is awesome. Congrats!
Oh wow, I need them both.
I think I might just start saving my gems for the NY Sugofest and go all-in on those, the last one did me well and getting Legends on their first appearance or shortly after is always a headache.
Do you mean NY sugofest on Global, thus in December 2020, or JP NY sugofest (Luffy/Zoro) which should land in May on Global? If you're ready to save your gems during 11 months on Global, you'll probably have over 2000 gems to blast on the NY 2021 sugo and I reckon you'd get most new legends lol. But that's a long while ^^;
Hopefully we do get something similar to Global NY sugofest midway through this year, once every 6 months would be perfect. Like in June or July, to allow people who were unlucky or didn't pull for a while to catch up and get the latest legends for very cheap!
The empty orb meta is hopefully balanced in Bamco's mind, gonna hate it if it's a preemptive for a super emptier debuff that rids Wa/Rainbow/Semla orbs
Didn't think of that. I'm not expecting it to happen though, that would kill Rainbow/Wa/Semla orbs. I just think 6x with empty orb is a way to balance Nami/Robin. It's obviously not as good as 4.5x with matching orb (2x) and orb boost (2x or 2.5x) but it gives them a bit of damage still when you use their swap to "store up" your orbs. Can't wait to see them in action with Shanks/Beckmann though.
This really wants to make me start OPTC Japan...lol.
Wonder how difficult it would be to pull them on a new account.
Probably pretty difficult but they should hand out some free gems during this event, we might get 50 gems if the community does well. It's not a bad time to reroll on JP but might be time consuming! These legends are pretty hype though.
I'm definitely saving my gems until May/June on Global to pull for Luffy/Zoro + Sobamask then Nami/Robin + Pudding.
