Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[chrome nest]

I feel good

I beat all stages of the unity gala without any issues

Crisis averted

[cunning swan]

[grand bramble]

👏

[gloomy holly]

I defeated it with free units and lodge units

[grand bramble]

Oh... No problem with Alola too now

[sturdy flower]

150k nonpaid soon

next month is VERY frontloaded

so i guess on 2nd

[half coral]

They r giving us really a bunch of gems

?

[violet nebula]

But also a bunch of poke fairs and re runs

Plus MF likely

[grand bramble]

Yes... Around 31k

[half coral]

Free

?

[grand bramble]

And if your lucky to get 60k next year.... WHO KNOWS

[half coral]

Or how to participate in giveaways

[grand bramble]

Just login

[half coral]

Wt

[gloomy holly]

You already participate when you log in

[half coral]

Really

[grand bramble]

At the beginning of the new year reset

[half coral]

Wow

Then it will be FUN

Gems

[grand bramble]

Keep dreaming of that

Btw.. The total gems of the whole update is 31k

[half coral]

If free then OP

Free thing is free , should take happily

🤤😋

[vestal leaf]

is this year's average like 25k

because I definitely feel last 6 months were way higher than usual

[gloomy holly]

So how many gems for the year of 2022?

[grand bramble]

OK... Good question

I want to know too.... and compare it with 2021 total

Is this year higher than last year

[lapis pine]

This year is defs higher than last year but idk by how much

[white sparrow]

so um

I wanna go get steven

because

steven cool

but like

and like

rayquaza is kinda mey

meh*

so like

should I?

or no?

idk but like

N

aswell

[reef river]

Definitely not, at least not until the end of the month

These guys stick around till the end of jan so we will know what febs stuff is by then

[maiden kayak]

no pity no pull

simple

[reef river]

And yeah. Tbf i think you'll have pity by the end of the month if u are active, but either way

You gotta wait

The fact that you are asking now means you're not dead set on spending all of your gems on him

[white sparrow]

imean like

I really want them sure, but like, I don't have that many gems & idk like

it usually takes me 2-3 tries to get a sync pair

[reef river]

Nah nah thats fake. Especially on a master fair

[white sparrow]

literally all special sync pairs I have took me 2-3 tries to get

[crisp oracle]

Master Fairs are different beasts to pull on than PokeFairs.
You either get utterly shafted or get them on within the first three or four multies, rarely an in between.

[reef river]

You can hope to get things in a small amount of gems, and it will happen a decent amount, but you need to plan aroumd getting screwed

Bc eventualy you will get screwed

[crisp oracle]

Master Fair rates are cut in half from PokeFairs.

[white sparrow]

I've gotten pairs with these rates before

literally only a few tries

idk man

[crisp oracle]

If you want to risk being screwed, be my guest.

I’m only telling you advice from my experience

[reef river]

Thing is

[wind nymph]

18.4k gems today extra pog

[reef river]

If you assume you will need 36k gems to pull, and wait for that

If you do get lucky, you get extra gems for later

Its just a better way of doing it

[crisp oracle]

What new gem bundles?

[wind nymph]

no gem bundles

just save save save

[white sparrow]

But like, how do I get gems that fast

[wind nymph]

beating the extreme event netted 1.8k gems easy

[crisp oracle]

Save and stack. It’s slow and painful, but you have to decide on what you want to summon on.

[sturdy flower]

Why did you come here if you want to defend your stance of yoloing 3x on meh Steven?

[crisp oracle]

The master fair allure is real.

[wind nymph]

it gets easier when you decide that you don't need every single character that comes out ever month and you pick and choose your very favs

[sturdy flower]

Unless you are planning to play for only a year or so, your luck will reverse at some point and you will just pity everything for a bit

[reef river]

Its not a matter of getting gems "fast"

Steven lasts all month

[sturdy flower]

saving will help you get everything despite that, under all circumstances

[reef river]

January has a lot of gems spread out

@white sparrow are you a big steven fan?

[sturdy flower]

If I get lucky that means I have the unit and 3 pities saved instead of 4. And don't have to skip any unit I want to try

[crisp oracle]

Where are gem counts again

[sturdy flower]

gem count is pinned

[crisp oracle]

Thanks Ry

[wind nymph]

i remember thinking i was lucky but i had to pity for SST Red

it was not fun and it kinda traumatised me

[crisp oracle]

31,100, thanks a solid number

[crisp oracle]

That was me on Maxie

[wind nymph]

master fair rates are so skewed against you

[crisp oracle]

Like I said, you either get really, really lucky, or utterly shafted

[white sparrow]

yeah sorta

[sand crown]

100%

[reef river]

I dont think anni steven is a very strong sync pair to pull on for its own merits

[wind nymph]

yeah we already have zinnia

[reef river]

Its only something you want if steven is a favorite character

[wind nymph]

she's cool and can use dragon ascent too

[sand crown]

Even if he were a pokefair I’d have doubts about pulling

[white sparrow]

imean

I doubt anni pairs are strong anyways

[crisp oracle]

The only thing Steven has is downside up…I think…even then, he is kinda mid at best

[white sparrow]

I have anni may and she's terrible

[crisp oracle]

Zinnia can do the same job

[crisp oracle]

Because you don’t know how to use her

[white sparrow]

yeah true

[wind nymph]

anni may is very busted

[crisp oracle]

For that you need two psychic units, even she can do solid work in her own right

[wind nymph]

but there's no point in pulling for anni may since we already have giovoni stonks

jk pull for your favs

[white sparrow]

imean

like

[crisp oracle]

We have SS Steven

[sand crown]

You don’t even need psychic terrain because psychic has such busted units as a whole

[white sparrow]

I own SS steven

[crisp oracle]

Good to use with Anni May.

[white sparrow]

lol idk how to use SS steven

[crisp oracle]

Attack Forme, plus zone

[white sparrow]

tbh im just terrible at the game in general

🐈

[wind nymph]

hmm perhaps you could try searching up for zinfogel

[sand crown]

SS Steven tutorial - Attack! - Psycho Boost - win

[crisp oracle]

Did you do Victory Road

[wind nymph]

i learnt a lot of things from him

[white sparrow]

yes :c

[wind nymph]

he's like the go to channel i watch when idk how to utilise a unit

[white sparrow]

but like

what about Anni N

[crisp oracle]

I’ve used Poce for a bit, I like his advice

But I may consider watching zinfogel

[white sparrow]

I'm used to just going for sync pairs that look nice to me and ending up with ones that work well for me or are just generally good

[crude coral]

I currently have barely enough for 7 multis.
Will I be able to have enuf gems to pity Calem before his banner ends?

[crisp oracle]

He leaves in 10 resets, we have 14k gems until then.

It’s gonna be a long long grind

[white sparrow]

sigh

[crude coral]

Oo that's close to pity then
The daily grind and daily bundles shall be worth it

[crisp oracle]

yes

[maiden kayak]

slow and steady wins the race

most of yall dont notice this but we get like 330k+ gems this year

[crisp oracle]

Good lord dude do you pull on anything

[crude coral]

Pog

[maiden kayak]

I do , im just being very specific

most of the time i dont go for dupes too

[white sparrow]

I need to know if anni N is worth waiting for

[crisp oracle]

I just go for one too

[crisp oracle]

Frankly, with the saturation of fire type units, no.

[maiden kayak]

i dont pull for ♂️so thats half the battle won

[vestal leaf]

half?

[crisp oracle]

SS Hilda is much, much better

[vestal leaf]

we get many more females so

it's not that much imo

[maiden kayak]

maybe 30%

but still

[vestal leaf]

yeye

i get it

[crisp oracle]

No SS Steven?

[maiden kayak]

No i dont pull guys ever

[white sparrow]

So like, is there any anni character worth pulling this year?

[vestal leaf]

based

[crisp oracle]

Oh dang that’s loyal to the cause, skipping the great dps dealer to save

That’s dedication

[vestal leaf]

if you mean the 3 master fairs currently running, they're good but not really worth unless fave

[sand crown]

That is a subjective question. My opinion is wait for 2022 rerun, they were much better and have better odds as well

[maiden kayak]

this game doesnt need meta so

its just favs at this point

[vestal leaf]

^

[sand crown]

Well yeah that too

[vestal leaf]

why pull ss steven when lussa, lear, giovanni, anni may can clear almost as easily if not just as easily

[crisp oracle]

I can get two pities from Anni until then, I am in good shape for a potential ash rerun

[vestal leaf]

unless fave

ash won't rerun before 2024

lol

[crisp oracle]

Because fave, and he can do four different things

[vestal leaf]

if ever

[crisp oracle]

A lot of people figured if they can get Steven they could save because he can tank, act as a tech, and attack

[sand crown]

SS Steven is a 4 in 1. Valuewise hard to compare to others

[crisp oracle]

Do you have Lusa

[maiden kayak]

if anything

Save a pity first

[vestal leaf]

i got him because funny speeeeeeeeeeeeed form

[maiden kayak]

anything below that , can forget it

[vestal leaf]

i have all of those aside lear

[maiden kayak]

i still have 5 pities to save

[crisp oracle]

Didn’t Lear just rerun though

[vestal leaf]

because of various reasons

[maiden kayak]

my saving journey isnt over

so does most of yall

[vestal leaf]

no idea, I don't really care for that kit

[crisp oracle]

Going for one million?

[maiden kayak]

i got 17 favs

[sand crown]

I’m going for three pities as baseline

[vestal leaf]

chest is like

900k

[maiden kayak]

• paldean favs

[vestal leaf]

at this point

[maiden kayak]

yea hes 900k gems now

dude only pulls like 3 banners for the entire poma career

[sand crown]

Malva seems like an inevitability

[maiden kayak]

yea but i wont be spending a pity since shes reg pool

[crude coral]

Whomst are the chosen 3?

[maiden kayak]

Rosanta, Gloria and Maybunny

[crude coral]

Gloria as in Zacian?

[maiden kayak]

yes

[sturdy flower]

so even he got tempted by that event huh

[crude coral]

Oo, I have ⅓ of those then: Rosanta kekw

[maiden kayak]

Rosanta was my first painful pity

for 1/5

[sand crown]

You never forget your first pity

[sturdy flower]

i cant see getting any past seasonals unless they rework the system or from selects

my first pity was the first banner I went for outside of kantrio

my second and third pities were my 4th and 5th banners

[sand crown]

You also never forget stupid mistakes

[sturdy flower]

I might make one this month

[crude coral]

Back then, I was dumb and played sparingly. Never saved for pity, but luck sometimes help me.

I also didn't know about Discord and gachas in general kekw

[sand crown]

We all were new once. This is my first (and last) gacha. 27k on Kris was a painful lesson

[oak crest]

My first pity was Lucas... and I ended up hardly using him... ☠️

[crude coral]

Funny how Genshin actually made me understand gacha and return to PMEX my beloved

[sturdy flower]

I'm playing a gacha for 7th year now, so im kinda a veteran

and I spent on it exactly twice

[ashen thunder]

Imagine spending 2 times

Whale

[oak crest]

This probably my 2nd gacha game (3rd if mmo is counted, but gacha wasnt the main focus there)

[ashen thunder]

🐳

[crude coral]

Many of the old gachas I've played are either dead or zombies

ElChronicle
Fantasy War Tactics
King's Raid
Sword Art Online MD (offline mod by fans available pog)

[deft glen]

SST Red, I could never forget

[crude coral]

Hopefully, alongside every pity, there is good luck elsewhere to balance the salt

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-perfectlybalanced-gif-18301221

https://tenor.com/view/jugram-jugram-haschwalth-yhwach-quincy-the-almighty-gif-26864108

[little briar]

I think my first pity was Ash

At least in this game, I can't remember my first pity in other gachas mainly cause some are dead or I play so few

(pouring one out for Dragalia)

[idle estuary]

I came back to the game and kinda screwed up on not committing to a specific banner. I'm not sure I can pity C. Serena (I have C. Calem, got him first pull). Is that a big deal? Should I really reset my account and miss out on EX/expanded sync grid Silver just to grind enough gems to pity Serena and Calem both?

(I'm at 264 on Serena if that makes a difference)

[hard wave]

There should be enough for u to pity before she leaves

And id say rerolling is smth for brand new accounts not ones that have progress from the past month or more

[idle estuary]

Gotcha, thank you! I hope there are enough gems -- I am really struggling with the new extreme battle event content so I worry about getting them all

[hard wave]

There’s about 13k left I think

[timber wren]

would recommend saving until the last day of the banner to see if you have enough

[hard wave]

U can check the pins here for the gem count

[idle estuary]

Thanks, all! I will do that!

Oh snap, I really will have enough to pity! Thank you, that really set my mind at ease

[south scroll]

Good luck to everyone in the lottery thing

[sturdy flower]

when is that lottery even

its the 300 gems one right

[feral vale]

It’s the one where multiple winners get 60k

[rotund sleet]

think it ends like 7th or 8th of jan

idek

[feral vale]

The minimum for players that win is 600

They said the winners will be sent the gems at Jan 11-12’s reset

[rotund sleet]

i’ll take the 300 consolation gems

anything more is a stroke of fortune that i don’t want wasted on a gacha game

[sturdy flower]

i'm considering it a 300 gem one from the get go

by the time they give us the gems I will probably already not remember this thing happens

[violet nebula]

Watch streamers like poce get 1st prize🤣

Coincidence? Who knows😮

[split thicket]

So I just bought the Daily gem bundle but I'd already done the sync orb area today. Is that really anything to be upset about?

[feral vale]

I don’t think so?

[fallen path]

not really no

when you're close to hitting the 99,999 cap it actually helps lol

[drifting dagger]

Need a quick answer, if I get the 3.49€ deals today, and I get it again on the 18 of january, will I have 5k paid gems before the NY select scouts ends?

I wanna get blaziken a lot, so I wanted to be sure before getting it

[feral vale]

Lemme see when the selects end.

[fallen path]

and you're starting from 0 paid gems?

[feral vale]

Looks like Jan 30-31

The reset.

[drifting dagger]

600 paid

Got the ash one when it was up

That's all I have left

[fallen path]

i think you're might be a tad under 5k

but if you top up with the current master fair gem deal (cheapest one), you might just have enough

[drifting dagger]

Also, as soon as we buy the deal we get the 1kpaid and 100 too?

[feral vale]

And luckily the 350 gems can be purchased three times.

[split thicket]

Yes.

[feral vale]

Lethal, you’re wondering about this correct?

[drifting dagger]

No

OH WAIT YEAH

Price is just different

[feral vale]

Yeah I was asking based on the paid gems lmao

[drifting dagger]

Ye

[feral vale]

Lemme do some math.

Yeah you’ll either be at 4800 or 4900 (idk your reset time)

So probably get the 350 gems on top of it and you’ll have enough for a select.

Holiday Season Gem Special 1 is what it is btw

And the holiday one says it ends in 11 days for me.

[drifting dagger]

Got it!

Thanks for the help

[feral vale]

[drifting dagger]

7 am btw

[feral vale]

K

[feral vale]

Lol the new survey asks about the amount of gems. Someone better not say too many gems

[hard wave]

Too little, should be increased tenfold

[unkempt vortex]

should just give the 60k to all players

then people can stop crying about being poor

[feral vale]

[tardy jolt]

This would end up with people pulling on all the MF banners just for the rewards and then cry

[unkempt vortex]

Look if they gave everyone a stimmy and people complain they have no one to blame but themselves

[sturdy flower]

not everyone gets the same questions, it seems like

mine didn't ask about no gems

[feral vale]

Did you fill the in-game news survey or the one posted in the server?

[sturdy flower]

in game

[feral vale]

The one posted in the server is a Google Doc.

The in-game one is different.

[sturdy flower]

does it really belong to Dena

[feral vale]

It’s a Survey Monkey thing.

[strange topaz]

what new survey

[feral vale]

#server-announcements

Read the announcement.

[strange topaz]

lol question 6

[sturdy flower]

i will check it out when I'm on pc

[lean mango]

Gem count, again but got all EBEs done

[timber wren]

the new survey in #server-announcements was put together by the staff team here and will be forwarded to the developers. it’s a separate thing from the survey in-game

[timber wren]

nearly to 100k, huge milestone!

[lean mango]

Doing the NY event should get me there less gooo

[tough oriole]

||I actually think it’s somewhat fair, but .||

[wind nymph]

Nah we need more gems

Some people cant do well in the game because of bad luck and in turn dont get gems very often

[tough oriole]

Getting a pity every 1.5 months is pretty fair, people don’t need to pull units to be successful

[timber wren]

the number of gems have gone up but so have the number of limited banners, and they’ve kept that ratio pretty consistent

[feral vale]

That’s why you save, it is what this thread is for.

[tough oriole]

Not to mention the amount of good accessible units also going up

[timber wren]

yes it doesn’t factor for just how many tickets we get, which is frankly ludicrous now

[feral vale]

Yeah old units are getting grids and buffs and we’re getting more free ones.

[timber wren]

i’ve picked up over 1200 5* tickets since 3rd anni

[tough oriole]

Something that would be pretty nice is an occasional free Spotlight Select; tickets most of the time are just glorified for some players

[sturdy flower]

I'd rather get tickets with chance of lodge units or something

or more tech candy coins

it feels like they went down lately

reruns don't give coins for the challenges anymore

and a coin is worth much more than 100 gems

[feral vale]

Yeah that’s definitely true

[wind nymph]

Give us an ability to buy move coins with regular coins

Make em expensive, but allow us to buy them

THAT sounds like an amazing idea

[sturdy flower]

not really

i never have enough coins

[tardy fiber]

I also like if they introduce move candy conversion...i got bunch of unused 3* candy, hope it can be converted to 4* and then 5*

[feral vale]

That’s the only thing I ask tbh

[tardy fiber]

For now the only use of my 3* candies are for copium Jessie and James rerun plus saving my farming time on free NPC pairs by skipping to buy their copies that cost 800 event vouchers each

[wind nymph]

Were Jessie and James good?

Or do people just want them for the novelty of it?

[sturdy flower]

James is decent lg tank

[wind nymph]

Ah

[feral vale]

Not as good as others

[wind nymph]

We might get them back soon though

Since the Ash Ketchum anime era ends soon

[sturdy flower]

we expect grids too

[wind nymph]

Y e s

Make Jessie and James extremely OP next time they show up

[feral vale]

Ehhhhhhh

[wind nymph]

With EXs, Grid Expansions,

Or give them sygna suits

[feral vale]

Doubt them being OP gonna happen, units like that are rare cases

Also the anime is ending soon

[wind nymph]

Give them something

[wind nymph]

Exactly

Return them for the novelty of it

[feral vale]

We can’t do anything, that’s up to DeNA

[fallen path]

*and TPC

[tardy fiber]

I kinda want James poison gas, can poison all enemies at once...sounds good to pair with a poison striker

Although weezing eggmon also have it, its not the same...either stats or kits

[hard wave]

forgot atleast 1 zero

[hard wave]

How???? I dont even have 60 pairs EXd

[feral vale]

I think they mean scout tickets?

[green talon]

Worth. Every. Gem.

[hard wave]

Oh that makes sense

[hard wave]

Maybe just me but I still need alot more 3/4* candies

I have all of them at 3/5 atleast tho, except some bp/lodge pairs and rachel

[tardy fiber]

I only left norman and hapu that are not yet 5/5

Bp/lodge pairs use 4* candies

Rachel as well

[hard wave]

Oh ok I thought u were talking about 4* candies as well

[tardy fiber]

Nah i was talking about introducing conversion because i got a bunch of 3* candies. Hope those can be converted to 4* and then 5* candies. For now my 3* candies uses are for future Jessie and James plus NPC pair copies by saving my event farming time from getting their copies

As BP and Lodge Pairs are all 4* at base so they didn't help reducing 3* candies

[hard wave]

I have all my 3* strikers at 5/5 so 14 more to 5/5, 4* strikers are all at 3/5 except lodgemore who is at 4/5 so 17 more, I maxed all 3* techs and supports (tho I only have 3 candies for kali), bp zinnia/erika and lodge marnie/serena r 1/5 and the other 6 techs are 3/5, BP Janine, Rachel, and Lodge Elesa are 1/5 (+ lodge dawn) and my other 6 4* supports are 3/5 so I need alot more

I also dont have bugscy, jessie and james, and lodge N and cynthia

[tardy fiber]

I don't have Jessie, James, lodge cynthia and lodge raihan

[hard wave]

Oh ok

I feel like if they did that we’d get candies alot less often tho

[tardy fiber]

But what is the use of a bunch of unused 3* candies

Still unused in your bag

Better introduce conversion

[hard wave]

Tru, ig it’d be better to have bad conversion rates/candies being rarer than having them stuck in ur bag

[tardy fiber]

Yep and thats what i said

I won't mind if its conversion rate just like power ups

At least now they have uses other than rot in bag

[lean mango]

So many candies in my bag

[tardy fiber]

For now only NPC pairs can help to reduce 3* candies

[lean mango]

Kali her name is? She's support right?

[hard wave]

Ye

[lean mango]

Dang the one I have least

[tardy fiber]

I got 22 3* support candies so I'm set

[lean mango]

My striker candies be like

[fallen path]

Oh yeah, she’s 3* support and not 4* support lol

[tardy fiber]

Yeap thats why i said only NPC pairs can help reduce 3* candies for now...oh there's also event pairs like bluecanine that can reduce it

[tough oriole]

Why would you just waste the candies like that tho

[tardy fiber]

You got other uses for 3* candies? I want to know as it's approaching 30

[hard wave]

I have 1 extra tech candy and 3 extra support ones, still need 14 to 5/5 all my strikers (3*)

[tough oriole]

I’d rather have useless candies than nothing

I guess I could save a little bit of stamina for something else but

[hard wave]

Tbh there isnt other uses for 3 star candies so might as well use them on npc trainers

[hard wave]

If u dont have the correct seasonals it saves alot of stamina

[tardy fiber]

Yep well if you got a bunch of NY paird you probably wont mind, i have 0 NY pairs...might as well save stamina

[tough oriole]

What’s an NY pair

But i guess that does make a bit of sense, I’ll check if I can max Torchic and stuff

[fallen path]

800 tickets per copy. 800 takes a longtime from previous experience with the other free units we have been given lol

[tough oriole]

Pretty much one candy =

I guess are more useful, even if they are pretty plentiful

[tardy fiber]

No other uses of 3* tech and support candy for me

[fallen path]

I see another one without bugsy and scyther, and James and weezing. A human being of culture

[hard wave]

Fr I barely got 3/5 helena as well as everything else I needed from the event

[tardy fiber]

I got bugscyther

He is base 4*

[fallen path]

Oh yeah. Never mind

[tardy fiber]

He did not appear when i filter base 3* unitd

[hard wave]

3200 is just for copies + other stuff like sync/theme orbs, codexes, powerups, scout tickets, the music key, and maybe drinks if u need them

[fallen path]

I actually just use 2 candies to 3/5 (so I can try the unit in CS) and then later if there’s enough time in the event I might go for the 4th and 5th copies with the 800 tickets

[hard wave]

I didnt have candies at the time, now im prepared cuz its a support

Im missing one candy for the 5/5 but there should be one for 100 of the currency

Much better than the 800

[feral vale]

[maiden kayak]

why do i not have this qn in the poma survey

[tough oriole]

Check #server-announcements

It’s made by the staff team here, but it’ll be forwarded to :DeNA

The best thing in the game is when you get a fave that has incredible synergy with another fave

[tardy fiber]

Man for me that question is kinda uncertain...well there can be 2 months of usual 4 banner units, but one of the month with all of the units are faves while the other month have 0 faves

But i guess i will answer too much as well

As we might get 24k-30k gems monthly

So 1-2 new banners will suffice not included reruns, as not many will aim rerun anyway as players have different rerun targets so they are forgiven

[hard wave]

Id rather have months with 0 favs than 3 favs each month

Like this month for me I have anni lillie, anni n, ss diantha, cynthia, ciris, and ny lisia

And while its tru we have big gem months we usually have alot more banners those months too

[hard wave]

Oh also hleon but will have to skip cuz im at 117

[tardy fiber]

Yep but its uncertain...not everyone faves are annilillie, anniN, ssdiantha

Everyone have different tastes

So its uncertain

[hard wave]

Ofc not saying everyone will have the same favs as me

[tardy fiber]

Whether the month will be hectic or dry for each person

[hard wave]

But there has prob been months where ppl had many favs

[summer goblet]

well if it were me, i just cut it down to only 3 per month

and skip the rest

[tardy fiber]

Yep and thats just like what i said, like pokewar sc release is hectic for me
..but some people said its a skip month with dry content

[tardy fiber]

Yep

This is good

[summer goblet]

108k gems spent at max is just enough for me on a worst case scenario

of course if luck is with me, i can afford to go more depending on the situation

[hard wave]

Ye im only going for lillie lisia and diantha probably bcz I have cerena for debuffing and I dont need ground fire or dragon dmg

[tardy fiber]

Iirc currently we got 3/4 limited units monthly isnt it? Not counting reruns

Hope they reduce to 2-3

[hard wave]

We have ss diantha and ny units

But theres so many reruns

[tardy fiber]

Yep but not everyone will aim for that rerun as people either have the unit / not a fave so skip / didn't have enough gems and gonna wait for another rerun

[hard wave]

Bede, gauntlet banner, anni 2, cynthia, old ny units and paid scouts

[tardy fiber]

If we lessen the new units monthly, I don't mind if they increase the rerun units...otherwise the month will be too dry of contents

No contents = less gems

As less missions

[hard wave]

Im not talking about this month specifically, I just mean in general id rather have 3/4 banners per month and not like any of them than like 10 banners a month but like most of them

Cuz atleast id be able to save that month for when smth I like reruns/releases

[tardy fiber]

Yep but if you like most of the reruns, not everyone will target the same reruns...pokemas not tailored for you, its for whole playerbase

Its not AR masters EX

So some people targets many reruns doesnt mean it will affect whole playerbase as other players might already have the unit when they are first release

So new units banner are much more of concern than reruns

Like this month, i only have 1 fave and i already have all other fave units that rerun or i skip due to not fave, but others will be like darn 7/8 faves this month...how... everyone's tastes are different

[hard wave]

Im fine with skipping some banners since I have my priorities already, just a limit on the amount of banners per month in general

Like maybe 5 banners total with 3 new and 2 reruns or smth

But I dont think we have been getting many reruns outside of gauntlet and seasonals

[tardy fiber]

Yep i hope they reduce new banner from usual 3/4 new banners to 2/3 new banners...reruns if people cannot get this month, they can just opt for rerun next time or select scout

[hard wave]

Other ppl will have dif priorities but theres a much higher chance with like 8-10 banners than 4-5 that u like alot of them

[summer goblet]

well, the units i do want but will be willing to skip for select scout is a pretty good tactic

as my plan paid off a bit when the Hoenn VA favs will do show up soon

[tardy fiber]

Hope they keep scrosa sc event format, 1 sc unit per event is better than 4 sc units per event

[summer goblet]

totally

[tardy fiber]

4 limited units with only one event gems to rely on

[summer goblet]

i am still missing and wanting the SC train bros still

[hard wave]

And id rather have 4/5 banners a month and like nothing than 10 banners and I like 7 of them

[tardy fiber]

Well bug is kinda a pretty lacking type, so they will be good for a long time

[tardy fiber]

Yep but you might have 0 like in that 4/5 banners but other people might like all 4/5 banner...people have different likes, also if they reduce new banners, there will be less contents to get gems...so the good way is to increase rerun banners and events to fill the gap of reducing new banners...so peoples still got a bunch of events= many gems, reruns will be more frequent so people can skip and save with more ease

As reruns will be more frequent, Bede rerun on January..but later he might rerun again on June as reruns are more frequent

So people that missed can just aim next rerun

His event will rerun again so more gems

More due to duplicate event badge

So everyone will be happy

[hard wave]

I dont mean like 1/2 per month, its way too little

But like 2 new 2/3 reruns or smth

Prob 3 reruns, even 4 would be fine imo

Still tho it shouldnt be like 8-9 reruns a month

[tardy fiber]

Just like this month then, there's only 2 reruns...old ny banners rerun and bede rerun

Others are Master Fairs so they have long duration

You need to count December as well if want to count them exactly

Although NY volkner and Ny Sabrina are two different units but they both in same rerun banner...so 1 banner

[sturdy plank]

we get 200 gems in next reset/today?

[tardy fiber]

Yep daily mission 80 plus 20 gems...and 100 probably from event login

[hard wave]

There’s anni, gauntlet, ny, bede, cynthia I think

But maybe it just feels like alot to me

[summer goblet]

that is why i never skip log-in missions ever

gems are very vital to the success of the game

every little thing count

[tardy fiber]

Yep compared to other games i played, pokemas gems rate is way better. Even the 2% banner rate is good. Well other than MF, well but the 36.6k pity gems are good

[summer goblet]

def

so if were to get shafted by Jasmine and Serena pulls in the next few days, I should be able to recover soon

i can handle 1 shaft

2 is massive dmg

[hard wave]

I wonder if they made it easier bcz its a pkmn game so they wouldnt want to make it too hard? Idk

[summer goblet]

Pokemon is always easy

only the rom hacks gives you any sort of challenge

[hard wave]

Ye, there is a large younger audience so I doubt they’d make terrible rates like other gachas

What r the rates in other gachas btw? Like 1% for the featured or?

[maiden kayak]

0.3% featured

maybe 3-4% 5*

[hard wave]

even the holiday rerun banners had better rates

[maiden kayak]

yes

[upbeat lotus]

Thats why I really like poma

Is there any game having better rate than poma?

[tardy fiber]

The Digimon game that i played before have better rates, but the Game EOS already

If its a 3 featured banner, each units in it have 2% chance

If poma it will be 2% divide by 3

[drowsy saddle]

Technically it's 1.5% for 3

But that's an exception to the rule

[tardy fiber]

But EOS because the price of Rubies the gems equivalent in that game is too expensive...and you can just do a bit of pvp arena weekly, and can get enough Rubies equivalent to MYR129.90

Even more if you hardcore in arena

So no need to buy the Rubies deals

[feral vale]

So they basically weren’t making money

[tardy fiber]

Yep not sure why, but Bandai mobile games kinda have expensive price...i already traumatized, my 2 years playtime gone due to EOS

[feral vale]

ONLY 2 YEARS?

Or was it out longer?

[tardy fiber]

2-3 years iirc

[feral vale]

in PoMa doing better

[tardy fiber]

But one thing that i hope Poma adopt from that game is...Bandai even make unique Digimons to promote that game.

Give unique pokemon in Poma

We having a playable Ash is a good start

Do more original characters or even playable shadow lugia and shadow mewtwo

[feral vale]

Hmmmm, if it wasn’t a gacha game, I’d say you have a good point.

[tardy fiber]

Well final fantasy war of the visions and marvel contest of champions can do u ique stuff for their games...both are mobile gacha and still alive

Mcoc already 7 years or something

[vernal glade]

Now we need Orre characters

From Pokémon coliseum

[tardy fiber]

Yep I don't mind collab with pokemon side games

Sounds good than popular characters getting 10 alts or something

Keep seeing their face every few months

Heck, even add pokemon go characters... I won't even mad

Spark, Blanche and the other one

If got difficulties to set their region themes...MC, Lear and the gang are just fine without any regions

[vernal glade]

I doubt conquest characters will appear.

[tardy fiber]

Yep conquest is also a collab

[chrome nest]

First character they should add is Rhi

[tardy fiber]

Collab with other samurai game

[chrome nest]

Rhi and poipole

[feral vale]

Hit 40K, yay!!!

[tough oriole]

[feral vale]

The friendship level 100 with 10 guests mission came outta nowhere and gave me 500 gems

So yay

[hard wave]

I dont see them doing that tbh unless its like meltan or ghimmighoul

But idk how that’d work

[tardy fiber]

Yep just like meltan and gimmighoul that are related with pogo, create something that is related to pokemas...if they cannot do pokemon, at least do trainers to add more than just playable MC, Lear, Rachel, Sawyer...add team Break admins or something

[summer goblet]

you know aside from SS Diantha and maybe NY Lisia, if you grab all of the anni mf units, its actually a quiet Jan month

which means, i can afford a shaft for both ||HJasmine and CSerena|| in a few days time and not feel too bad about it

[tardy fiber]

Oh right you still have a lot of gems

[maiden kayak]

oh wait || u pulling ?||

i thought u were zenning all the way

[summer goblet]

i plan to pull ||Jasmine and C Serena||

[maiden kayak]

ohh

[summer goblet]

i been waiting patiently for the right time

[summer goblet]

||anyway i'm streaming my pulls at Pocecord if you are intersted||

[maiden kayak]

jan 1st?

||im streaming on that day tho||

[cunning swan]

Aqua ||who are you planning to pull?||

[maiden kayak]

||2 NY units||

[wind nymph]

18.6k gems pog

[tardy fiber]

Next datamine gonna only have palentine units right? Is the half anniv units will be in late Feb datamine?

Oh wait kalos part 2

February seems scary

[weary spire]

Forgot to do my dailies again Busyness & broken sleep schedule playing a role

I did BP at least

There was no special event for extra gems I missed out on yesterday, right? Nothing like that

[feral vale]

Nothing you cannot get today.

[tardy fiber]

Well none unless you mind missing johto tix from johto VA rerun

[feral vale]

Just the EB’s and the new unlocked stages.

[weary spire]

I missed 1 Johto ticket true, only did 1

[hard wave]

There’s 3 cuz of region rotation

[weary spire]

Ye, I missed 1 unfortunately, but oh well

I think I tried to fit Lodge last second so I could claim dailies instead of go for that last ticket lol

But I've got 330 tickets for Johto anyway with nothing currently obtainable really so far, could be worse

[tardy fiber]

I only missed villa co-op daily, well the damage isn't that great but after had to use 40 cookies for cs2...i kinda need more pink cookies

[weary spire]

I feel you

[hard wave]

I always forget to do villa dailies

Ill just try next time it opens up

[feral vale]

I haven’t needed the cookies so I’ve just been skipping the coop dailies lmao

[tardy fiber]

But i blamed my indecisiveness...my Oak lucky skill keep swapping between vigilance - cs2 - sp3...man i should just keep sp3, not like daily region battle can kill my 150 5* 20/20 3* psychic gear Oak anyway

[cunning swan]

my Oak is Vigilance'd. I think it was for a gauntlet run

[tardy fiber]

I did vigilance before but then i realise, i only do 10 streaks anyway...if i ever use him, i will use him for coba with fire blast...should get sp3 for him back

And good for future Oak

Tech EX sync

[midnight chasm]

i started 3 days ago and desperately want to get champion callen send help :D
i actually have pity lol but
wont spend

but actually i want to cries

[tardy fiber]

If you feel divided about the unit while you have pity...that means no pull, you are unsure if you need or like that unit...doubts means skip

[feral vale]

Is Calem a favorite in the first place?

[midnight chasm]

probably should follow that :(

i mean i think his design on the champion alt is SICK

im just a little bummed that the hair stayed the same as base

[feral vale]

But…be real. Do you have a fav for Calem?

[midnight chasm]

so its kinda, i like it but eh

he's one of the characters i like a lot

but not as desperately as others

(ingo/emmet)

[feral vale]

Weird question

[midnight chasm]

i also like a lot the idea to have a Rain setter

[feral vale]

Do you have SC Ingo or SC Emmet? Or any of the base units?

[midnight chasm]

no

i started the game 3 days ago :D

[feral vale]

Why don’t you tell yourself you should save your gems for them?

If they’re the biggest favs, you’d want to guarantee a copy when they unexpectedly come.

That will be your motivation.

[midnight chasm]

the thing is

with calem i can clear things more easily (?)

[feral vale]

He’s not needed.

[midnight chasm]

i only have free units, N anniv and another things

[feral vale]

He is not a must have.

[midnight chasm]

thats not the point like

[feral vale]

You can clear with F2P

[midnight chasm]

he would accelerate gem gathering

[feral vale]

Ummm…

[midnight chasm]

or would that be not even
meaningful

bc like

im already fucking confused bc i have to learn the entire game lol

[feral vale]

Doesn’t sound meaningful to me…

[compact pasture]

Have the 6 million gems been released?

[feral vale]

You get the gems, there’s no huge rush to get them unless the event somehow ends tomorrow and you haven’t done it.

[feral vale]

Wha? I think you got the wrong number.

[midnight chasm]

the event ends tomorrow and i havent done it completly

struggling on last stages

calem is not johto anyways so not that is the thing

[compact pasture]

Oops

[feral vale]

You talking about the 6k?

Or the random drawing contest?

[midnight chasm]

60 mil i think

yea

[feral vale]

I thought it was 20 million, lemme see the video.

[tardy fiber]

The 6k gems from video trailer is this

[midnight chasm]

its actually 200 million

lmfao

[feral vale]

Yeah that’s the one.

[feral vale]

It definitely didn’t have the 6 in it.

[compact pasture]

Oops

[tardy fiber]

Jan 12

[compact pasture]

Oh, it starts next year

[tardy fiber]

Yep as only accounts logged in Jan 1 - Jan 8 are eligible for the lottery

The results will be Jan 12

[midnight chasm]

thatll take so long ;_;

[feral vale]

Not that long tbh

[tardy fiber]

Well not sure if 300 gems will be any help

But i guess its still good

[compact pasture]

What is the 1st prize?

[feral vale]

Gems is gems.

[feral vale]

60k

To like 10 winners I think.

[cunning swan]

probably a higher chance for me to pull 3 copies of a master fair in 36.6k gems than to win the 60k

[compact pasture]

[lean mango]

So close to the New Year

[feral vale]

It’s kinda weird the New Year event is on New Year’s Day.

For me it’s an hour beforehand

Usually if you do NY events, in the story, they show the day or so before.

So when they talk about the New Year coming up, I’m gonna be like “I don’t relate now, it’s already the New Year.”

Might just be a me thing by the way y’all are reacting

[tardy fiber]

Well its a new year stuff so it happens on 1st Jan is pretty acceptable...even if the event shows its a day before or something in the story, i care about real life date instead of Pasio's date

[feral vale]

It could be me just being used to consuming seasonal events before the day it happens irl instead of after.

Not just in the game, I mean in general

[tardy fiber]

Well nothing too serious about it

I just want kali the new NPC

[feral vale]

Oh no, I just thought it was funny

[feral vale]

Same tbh

A free Support is a free Support

And you can never have too many Supports

Before I stuck to favs, my meta was actually ||getting a ton of Supports with good and varied utility options||

That was honestly the one thing I did right playing this game.

How I was getting them tho…was the bad part

[tardy fiber]

Supports are good, eventhough people said bp master units are bad due to no , i just pair them with my other tech/striker Faves that benefit by syncing first.

[feral vale]

Who says they are bad?

[tardy fiber]

A lot, especially they shun my baby Regirock

[feral vale]

Ok to be fair
Regirock is the worst of them, but it’s not awful.

[tardy fiber]

and said i 3/5 them is a waste of candies

I dont mind, i like legendaries anyway

[feral vale]

It’s your fav, you do whatever the hell you want.

[tardy fiber]

Yes

Well we live in a community so i already expected some reactions

[feral vale]

I’ve honestly been debating bringing Ash to 5/5

Cause he’s a fav and he deserves it

[tardy fiber]

I kinda want to 5/5 faves but my faves list is too big, so i don't have extra resources to do that

[feral vale]

Ash is the only limited unit that would be 5/5 for me ^^;

[tardy fiber]

I still not finish 3/5 my current faves

[feral vale]

Yeah that’s quite a road.

But I’m sure you’ll make it.

[tardy fiber]

Strikers left: ssleon 2/5, ssethan 1/5, sshilda 1/5, annilillie 2/5
Techs left: falliris 1/5, djgloria 2/5, sskorrina 1/5, ||ssdiantha ?/5||
Supports left: cobalion 2/5, mesprit 1/5

[feral vale]

Nice

[tardy fiber]

Gonna see what pop out in selects first

Might can save some candies

And i can use the candies on other faves

[summer goblet]

Whenever your gem count suffers a major dmg, you don't feel like playing this game ever again

[gloomy holly]

https://tenor.com/view/emotional-damage-gif-24390252

[summer goblet]

but life goes on and must continue to play everyday to admass as much gems as possible collect your favs/meta units

[broken mulch]

Well you can always ragequit

That’s what I did to all my previous Gachas lol

[sturdy flower]

im always prepared to pity, i will only rage quit if the game does something stupid

[mental skiff]

Seem like we have huge chance for 300 gems lottery

The gems is given on Jan 12th...

[tardy fiber]

Same, for now Pokemas is doing good

I will gonna quit when they go very p2w route or very meta driven like other gachas

For now there's no challenging content to even require meta here...unless you count long streaks in gauntlet, or doing 15k-20k csmm

Self-imposed challenge runs

[broken mulch]

I mean the meta in gauntlet is to pull for every single unit

[tardy fiber]

Yep, but i'm thankful that DeNa made all the good stuffs only need 10 streaks

DeNa is kind, not many dev is like this. I wonder if they really did learn from feedback

But i start to doubt as there's still no Oak

I wrote that every time a survey appears

Oh right, how many pairs left without grid after January?

Oh Blaine, Marlon, Marshall

Need to check pomatools

Jessie, James, Torchic, Lorelei, Roark, Shauntal

[mental skiff]

Shauna, Grant, Brock and Lorelei

[tardy fiber]

Grant have grid

Brock as well

[lean mango]

Jessie and James rerun for Feb

[mental skiff]

doubt Jessie and James has grid

[mental skiff]

Didnt know

Last month?

[tardy fiber]

Long time ago, i even try him for moltres gauntlet

Because he got weather synergies

[mental skiff]

I mistake Roark for Brock

[tardy fiber]

They can still drag a month i guess,they cannot hide Jessie James forever

[mental skiff]

Seem like month we will have torchic ex then

[tardy fiber]

Lorelei, Roark, Shauntal probably on February...so Jessie, James, Torchic half anniv

[lean mango]

They'll have to rerun the Rocket duo

[tardy fiber]

Yep, DeNa's time is running out

[mental skiff]

Dunno what they will do after all grid is upgraded

[tardy fiber]

Power boosts

And give

I still hopium for noland, bugsy, agatha ...kinda wasted for their Mega ability

[mental skiff]

they havent done power boost 5 star unit

[tardy fiber]

Glacia

Karen

[mental skiff]

Dont think those f2p 3 , 4 have that for now

[tardy fiber]

Kris

I forgot which other 5* got power boosted

Oh Fantina

[mental skiff]

more 5 star need that

I still wait for Elssa and Lussamine

[tardy fiber]

Lussamine is already plenty strong, i hopium for Gladion and Lusamine

[mental skiff]

i mean lusamine with 1 s darn people name convention is confusing

[tardy fiber]

I sometimes use lussamine without psychic terrain, thanks to her double down 9 grid

Hope i can 3/5 Mesprit soon to pair with her

[sturdy flower]

DeNa goes the other way, where im a bit worried they might bore me with no challenges at all

especially if they start doing more of Tough Skin and acc drops EBs

another game I'm playing just released a "core" summon with 0.25% rate (that's rate up!) and no possiblity of spark

[tardy fiber]

Thats kinda bad right? 0.25% to get that stuff...does it have pity system?

[sturdy flower]

you can't pity this one, unless you spend something like 150 5* PU (they are only from gacha tho)

[tardy fiber]

Ouch

[sturdy flower]

someone already spent 6000$ trying to get it

summon series is called "Providence", what a fitting name

[tardy fiber]

I would have left if the gacha game is that bad

Especially when it costs 6k usd

[sturdy flower]

he's an outlier at like 1800 draws

[tardy fiber]

Even genshin pity doesn't cost that much

[sturdy flower]

but yeah, don't like them doing this series

i kinda play PoMa for comfy gacha

the combat system is simple but with depth, so you already know how units perform in relation to each other

[tardy fiber]

Same, its good for working players as well...i can just like login twice a day when im off work

[sturdy flower]

there's no coop content where only people who deal more damage get loot

meanwhile most other gachas just have units that have value hard to quantify

here i know that unit buffs 4 atk stacks and 2 crit etc

and i know exactly how much that is value wise

no cryptic "big damage to x" descriptions or being unsure if buffs with unique icons stack or not

[tardy fiber]

The other game i played have arena that only top few hundred and 5% players get the top prize...also have guild war system in which i had to see my guild members already move or not every 1-2 hours

[sturdy flower]

makes saving easier too, because in other games people overhype units and then find out they actually dont perform as good as you think without having something else

[sturdy flower]

is that from Cygames?

[tardy fiber]

Nope its marvel contest of champions from kabam

[sturdy flower]

ah Marvel, no wonder

[tardy fiber]

I already quit it when I started working, i cannot use going to toilet reason every few hours just to check guild war progress

And to get top rank in arena, i need to do about 8 hours arena grind each day for 3 days to get the champion reward

It disturb my life so much that i had to quit

[sturdy flower]

sounds like a pain and nothing else

[tardy fiber]

Yes

Also it doesn't have pity system

When a game starts to feel like a chore, it is not a game anymore

[sturdy flower]

exactly

[tardy fiber]

Oh right talking about content, i hope the recent time attack mode content become permanent content. Its good because every player can get the full rewards. Just player can easily clear it can get all rewards faster as they got more points.

[mental skiff]

that is why i like poma... Have nothing to do, turn off brain and free memories to do pointless pokemon stuff 30 min everyday rather than 3h pokemon youtube

[mental skiff]

that event kinda weird tho.... I dont like reset.... Too many reset

[sturdy flower]

what time attack mode content?

[sturdy flower]

30 min is if you are really taking it in slowly too, you can go much faster if you speedrun essentials

[mental skiff]

[sturdy flower]

you could even skip daily battles and just use skip tickets

[mental skiff]

6 time interaction

[sturdy flower]

because honestly, the 3* PU aren't very necessary

[mental skiff]

I use skip ticket tho

[sturdy flower]

i meant the higher tier ones 1x per day

only do them for unfinished events

[mental skiff]

👀 they have ticket sometime tho and still new so at least finish 4* pu

[sturdy flower]

im usually doing everything while preparing and eating breakfast

just run next thing while i walk by the phone on the table

[mental skiff]

reset on 1pm so basically after lunch

[sturdy flower]

6 interaction got much faster now after they buffed the ring

for me it resets 7am

[mental skiff]

Nice tho 1 pm reset is kinda suck

[mental skiff]

just got x6 33 yesterday so i will do single now

[vestal leaf]

CET based

[sturdy flower]

yes

[tardy fiber]

This

[cunning swan]

Haha time trial

[tardy fiber]

The recent one is good

[cunning swan]

I hadn't been playing for the first time trial event

Only knew the most recent one

[tardy fiber]

Its either you got all rewards fast because keep getting grade S or slower due to keep grade C

[vestal leaf]

The Nate one was bas

Bad

Af

The rahian one was even worse imo

Very fun "just ex one of these 4 units at 2+/5 or give up 300 gems"

[tardy fiber]

The recent one is good

[vestal leaf]

There was a recent one?

[sturdy flower]

by recent he means half a year ago

[tardy fiber]

Yep

[vestal leaf]

Uhhhh was it the one for johtrio?

[tardy fiber]

The other time trials have bad rep

[vestal leaf]

With yet again flying weak?

[sturdy flower]

i used Zerena

[vestal leaf]

That one was barely an event but yeah

At least it was not bs

[tardy fiber]

The reward system had improved

[strange topaz]

Nate trial was hard

[tardy fiber]

Everyone can get all rewards just either fast or slower

[vestal leaf]

I still don't really dig the event format but yeah

[strange topaz]

Like even with 1/5 blue it was hard

[vestal leaf]

Third time the charm

[strange topaz]

Raihan trial had theme skills which made it problematic

[tardy fiber]

Hope they rerun Gloria prestige to follow latest time trial reward system everyone can get the prize and not a select few ranking at the top

[cunning swan]

What was the prize, exactly

Other than a medal

[tardy fiber]

5* candies

[strange topaz]

6k gems a yellow candy

And more I think

[vestal leaf]

I had "prestige 2 when" as nick in this server for more than a year

I gave up on it

[weary spire]

Then prestige 2 drops

[strange topaz]

I myself also fell short

[cunning swan]

Candy?? Not the coins?

[weary spire]

I myself also ended up short

[strange topaz]

Yeah a whole candy

[tardy fiber]

I want Gloria event badge, I did not play poma yet that time

[weary spire]

A whole 5'8"

[strange topaz]

Which was the only one at the time

[vestal leaf]

Yep

[weary spire]

Oh just realised I was in gem zen

[vestal leaf]

Now you can buy one for 20+€

Kinda cring

[strange topaz]

In a sense it was a game changer if you think about it

[vestal leaf]

As a Fine Diner

I feel outraged

[strange topaz]

Especially if they kept going

[vestal leaf]

A mostly f2p Fine Diner*

[cunning swan]

And how many could actually get the rewards?

The top 100 or something?

[vestal leaf]

[vestal leaf]

2k

For badge and candy

[cunning swan]

Wow a very ancient screenshot I have never seen

[strange topaz]

6k people

[vestal leaf]

6k people for badge iirc

Wasn't candy only S tier

[strange topaz]

Yeah

Basically Gloria day 1 or bust

Rerolls had a chance too

[vestal leaf]

Nah

[strange topaz]

Since they had excess stamina from ranking up

[vestal leaf]

I got 1200 with 1/5 Gloria on day 3

[cunning swan]

slams hand on table
Ok dena bring back prestige but change the reward system like the new time trials

[tardy fiber]

Im kinda glad that i didn't go through that, and im kinda sad because i miss my chance to get the event badge...same with maxie archie event, i joined poma on its last days so i only get maxie and archie from banner but that event already gone

[vestal leaf]

And my gf got 4800 without buying 5/7 days of stamina and without Gloria

[strange topaz]

Okay sure but skill was a thing too

[vestal leaf]

Yeye

[weary spire]

Not buying stamina or the featured unit

[vestal leaf]

I love those kind of events

[strange topaz]

I’ll go under the assumption you guys played well

[vestal leaf]

Because they show your knowledge

And prediction

Of community behaviour

[mental skiff]

[strange topaz]

Well it’s never coming back so good riddance

[cunning swan]

Seeing people talk about prestige is like hearing veterans talk about the days of WW2

[vestal leaf]

I liked the concept

It just needed few fixes

Here and there

[cunning swan]

Wonder if anyone filled the survey with it

[strange topaz]

No doubt.

[mental skiff]

i know im gonna hate it because if that event happen i have to teach sleep immunity skill for my units

[strange topaz]

There are people who isolate themselves and have different strong opinions for sure

[vestal leaf]

• can't partecipate with a fresh account or with an account younger than 1 week pre event
• only your best clear (or best 3) nets you points every day, meaning you don't need to exhaust stamina to clear same stage 40 times a day
• every partecipants gets the medal
• more tiers with more diluted rewards

[mental skiff]

imagine changing skill

[vestal leaf]

That would make prestige an actual enjoyable event

Imo

[strange topaz]

Although if it were to come back now, the meta would be very scary

[mental skiff]

if i cant have all reward... Bad event!

[vestal leaf]

Depends on the stage itself

[strange topaz]

Too many broken units and combinations

[vestal leaf]

Just toss in tough skin 5

[cunning swan]

3rd anni units prestige event

[vestal leaf]

[strange topaz]

And there’s the issue of not sharing comps

[mental skiff]

SST red will ignore all passive and speed up sync to nuke newbie to death tho

future is bright

[cunning swan]

The most used units will still be 3rd anni trio

[vestal leaf]

The only way to make the two rats bad would be something like "electric shield 9"

Where the stage takes 10% from electric damage

On top of other stuff

[mental skiff]

SST red B.move ignore that tho

[cunning swan]

Shield? Defog the thing away

[cunning swan]

It ignores passives. Not field effects

[vestal leaf]

^

Also

Coding it like wise entry

[mental skiff]

👀ah

[vestal leaf]

2

[strange topaz]

Nerf this team pls Dena ty

[vestal leaf]

Would make it work even better

[cunning swan]

Entry x5 or something

[mental skiff]

[cunning swan]

Entry x2 is outdated, so many units can damage cap it still

[vestal leaf]

Me, beating sentry entryx2 glacia with Gloria:

[cunning swan]

Beating it with physical steel is easier than trying to use special steel sans Raihan

[mental skiff]

Wise/Sentry entry x9 ....make something immune to special or physical

future

[cunning swan]

Like, Thorton or sth

[sturdy flower]

Tough Skin 9

[mental skiff]

[cunning swan]

Not effective enough, it's ignored by piercing blows

[vestal leaf]

Tbh entryx5 would be already absurd in csmm

[sturdy flower]

nothing is more boring than forced ontype gameplay

[strange topaz]

We need more parameters please

[vestal leaf]

Offtyping with broken pairs is worse imo

[sturdy flower]

not our bad DeNa cant balance types

[vestal leaf]

Forced ontype gives you at least choice to use broken or niche pairs

[sturdy flower]

im not drawing for every striker just to not feel like weekly challenge is a chore

[mental skiff]

Not everyone enough

[strange topaz]

If they decide to increase cap with current parameters it’s going to suck

[sturdy flower]

and it breaks some setups that rely on 2nd dps that isn't ontype

[vestal leaf]

Yeah that's why you use gen pools or f2ps

[mental skiff]

[vestal leaf]

Also my big advantage is being day 1, not 🐳

[mental skiff]

One day you will see a stage have no f2p option

[vestal leaf]

I spent like 50€ in 3 years and almost half, 22€ of which this year

[mental skiff]

[sturdy flower]

WHALE

[vestal leaf]

Hasn't happened yet

We got close tho

[mental skiff]

[vestal leaf]

There were 4-5 stages that were very RNG

[strange topaz]

I’m at like $60 two years in

[vestal leaf]

But still clearable

[strange topaz]

Will probably go up now tho with selects being a thing

[vestal leaf]

Bertha EB beaten with ex Thorton

🧠

[mental skiff]

that is enough for many selected scout tho

[vestal leaf]

Actually I should recount

Tbh

[strange topaz]

I rather not

I’ll probably just be sad

[mental skiff]

Im currently only 1$ in this game due to google credit

[vestal leaf]

I bought 3€x900 8-9 times til this may

Then bought the 18k bundle

Of which I spent 1200 in 7 months

Lol

[mental skiff]

definitely cant say day 1 advantage

[vestal leaf]

So I think I'll hold on to 16+K for a long while
