#Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)
1 messages · Page 123 of 1
I don’t know why resetting constantly wouldn’t punish you all the same inherently. It just seems incredibly moronic to run a game like this so easily exploited
It shows a higher degree of effort and seriousness than a washroom 
When you have full power to remove that possible exploitation
Lol, late night overthinking
So yeah, however you pull is pretty much superstition as far as I can see
largely because there are laws in place that you have to payout so many jackpots
and the probability is in the formula
in the case of gacha
Too much thinking, return to being a regi....un un un bzzt bzzt un un un
because the seeds are usually qued and seeded for a period of time
I don’t think a gacha needs to effectively be more exploitable to be valid
before the server resets
And how long is that period of time?
It can be seconds, right?
Exactly
it was when it was AGES AGO
Man, i need to watch Regigigas scene in hoopa movie again, it has funny voice
when there was the "naughty" leak
That’s what comments seem to indicate, this could be reset every second for all you know
Which means the post hinges on a total guess at random that it just happens to be more exploitable for, as far as I can see, no reason
Which seems moronic
i still believe singles are statistically better odds than full rolls
Aren’t there better things to do than to think about something you literally can’t control anyways lol
but the issue is the free pull
you can never out pay the free rolls you miss with single pulls
Nothing wrong with pulling how you want, I just don’t like the idea of convincing other people there’s an exploitable formula on essentially no basis
like sleep? yep
Cannot wait to have 3/5 registeel...tm hit and heal, impervious, +6 def spdef, two types of potions 
the basis is using known data and information from slots machines as a base form of probability
Not because the code doesn’t function a particular way, but because that particular way it functions is something you can’t even manipulate in the first place
But yeah that’s about it
Preset cs team, 2 hours 13 mins left 
Again, the issue is what you said earlier: nothing points towards it resetting once daily, as opposed to every minute, second, etc.
had my worst luck on the first days banner drops
correct
which we do not have any known variables
i have always theorized on the hourly reset
So in conclusion, nothing is exploitable as far as anyone knows and unfortunately this means we’re at square 1
since i have experimented for my own amusement which hour is best to pull
right at reset is by far the worst in my stats XD
Embrace pity, reject luck 
Luck ain't a strategy 
oddly enough my best rates are between 3-6pm
Just a perk 
The next thing to experiment with is which second in the 24h of the day leads to the best rates
👀
i don't have the gems, time nor money to do that
My brain is too weak to learn about coding and time influences my multi results ...so embrace pity 
True
Oh Tai, record some 3/5 Dana gameplay later
How many hrs after reset?
Hello world 
I doubt its true, just curious
sec let me turn it to universal time
My habit is that i always do 1 multi then close app
then restart, so whatever my unluckiness will pass on to another person that pull

see that's always been my view
because if there is a seed reset
it has a delay in some capacity
i NEVER do back to back pulls
Oh central time, same time zone
Daym i shared my secrets 
i'll share mine
"Save gems"

I already saved till 141k
(is the worst about what he preaches)
Enough 
yea I know you're doing better than me
i'll have 75k free gems by the end of the month
but i am skipping almost everything besides blue and the rockets
i am leaving fate to red and leaf
Might have more later because iirc there's cheap paid gems deal
Same value as welcome ash
ohohohohoh
i mean
If you want to experiment down to the second
||Record the exact second you pull something 1st multi, then wait for the exact second of next reset to pull again
… Except, while I don’t know anything about coding, can that not just be reshuffled each reset following some formula we’re not privy to, maybe? In which case unless the entire system is laid bare, I think we wouldn’t get anywhere (this bit is actually blind speculation)||
I forgot, but i doubt its cheaper than buying orb bundle EX 3 times
I will even add free role cake
I would give myself 99,999 skill spheres, 200k more sync orbs maybe, and a like 500 PUs
I thought they were role cakes

Im glad they give us free tickets for BP, I have about 5.5k BP rn so it’ll take a while before I get a masterfair ticket
Ill use the free one for dana and that one for registeel, then save for next anni
You can even take mine, it increases so fast more than i could use
I already grid every pair i have
I wish we got more 4* support and tech candies tho
Ill have 7 4 star tickets
I still have like 26 pairs to grid iirc, have 100k but saving it for new pairs this month
Oh right so i need to grid 8 new pairs today
Since I upgrade all pairs with EX and then max them, but the ungridded ones r 4 stars
Lodge leaf wont be today as she need some time to unlock
Dana
4 BPs
N
Lodge N & Leaf
So thats 8 pairs, oh and shauna if I can get her from kalos tickets
Dana, Registeel, 4 4* BP, ||NcRed and Victor from 5k fair select||
|| ur getting victor? For lodge jic? ||
||yep for future lodge, he being a MC have higher chance to be on lodge than emma and ingo||
Also because no lodge steven for me next month

Well 4/5 N at least
I thought it’d be all 6 tbh
Same
Oh well, I was most likely going for N tbh
Missing steven and gloria as well
Oh and adaman, prob wont get him
At least the other select scout is a skip, i dont think i will ever need anniraihan...only base pairs are needed to unlock lodge
Annimay and anniskyla already 3/5
I don’t know why but you reminded me that I really hope we get a grusha sync pair one day 
At least i know a way now, i will 2/5 all of my non MF faves in order...fair select pool are at random so due to this, it will make it easier for me to 3/5 them via select
Isnt it kind of low that the ones u want will be in them tho? And they seem to happen 2-3 times a year
Yep, but if it happens like this time that there's fair select but all of my faves in it already 3/5
So if NY select that have 2 tapus appear in 2 different select scouts, i can grab both
As all of em are 2/5
If i 3/5 one before moving to another pair, and suddenly a select scout appear that only have that 3/5 pair, i already cannot grab that select scout
save paid gems ig
Like seasonal select, for now its useless to me because i already 3/5 smliza and smtate fast
If i make em both 2/5, i can grab next seasonal select
Id like to go for || anni skyla and ss brendan || but losing my f2p status 
Also gems r expensive 
Kinda why i only buy the cheapest the 20 day orb deal
Even that, will give me 9k paid gems every 2 months
So 54k paid in a year
Fair, but it takes a while
And just like you said that select only happens couple of times a year
So it will be enough
True
Well no rush, some pairs are usable even at 1/5
For now i will prioritize MF first as MF select are not available
Problem is it’d end up a waste if none of them have reruns I want 
Ill just hope for some good multi banners w the reruns I want 
Kinda why i plan to make all of my faves 2/5 first, so that to avoid select with none of i need in it appears
If all are 2/5 so high chance i will need the select
So i plan to make my 1/5 sshilda, sslana, eusine all to 2/5 instead of 3/5 sshilda and then work for the next one
Makes sense, if I was going to do a select id do for 1/5
How many do u have to candy?
Currently,
Striker: 1/5 sshilda, 1/5 sslana, 1/5 eusine
Tech: none
Support: 2/5 ssmina, 1/5 ssacerola
Ooo not bad
And this month will add more
Oh right 
What about registeel and regice
I can 3/5 1 via rainbow ticket and 2/5 the other one
1h30min
So i only need 1 support candy
Oh nice
Because like this month its +2990 bp
So like monthly its +3k on average
So a year means 36k bp
I think I can get registeel in october/november
So thats 3 rainbow tix
I confirm
And probably i can save 1 for next anniv
I had 3 pair
2990 starts this reset right?
Yep
it count from 26th?
8450 is what I should end at
26th was part of august datamine
This one starts 28th+
Wait why? Was this in the dev letter?
Yep free rosa copy from poma day shop
That’s so hype
free 2 rosa dupe
Bingo refresh and master day exchange
Rosa dupe: 
New clothes colour: 
Will we be able to get the free pokefair this reset or do we have to wait
still dunno if we have to choose between two
One step closer to serperior frame 
Also blue outfit is my fav one so glad abt that
I think they’d say if we had to
Hopefully not tho 
That’s highly unlikely, since we get infinite pika stickers from the pomaday thingy
And even then, you could just skip out on the codexes and stuff if needed
save and skip anni
Bro does not know you can redo the battle
halloween units have better design for sure
1 stage is 40 pika stickers
Are we getting any free gems today reset?
I still have some gear that need to exchange tho so pika sticker is scarcity resource now
No problem you can farm it as much as you want for 24 hours
huh really?
I usually clear poma day shop in like 7 co-op runs
I always farm only once eversince i started the game
Or is it 9
I usually go for everything but the gear since mine r all maxed out
Pretty sure its just lvl cap items
So if u dont need that then ur fine
Oh theme and sync orbs too
i needed them
I even grabbed the gear
because i like to see my shop empty
I did it this time to slowly finish 20k gear upgrade
I only farm during stamina rally and bonanza but there's none this month
It will have bonus drop
I grind events for what I want then I do theme skill area
I have like 26 left for 5 stars, and so many new pairs this month 
I hope october is a skip month
Rally always happen on VA or weird gatcha reward event tho so i have to farm for them

It is expensive too
They ran the rally this month for so long but at the same 4 pair up events and johto VA 
What else will I use my stamina on? 
Yep kinda why i 140 my victrier fast, i took advantage of bonus drop before farming others
Sync and theme skill orbs + 5 star powerups r prob the resources I need most rn
Im fine on lvl cap items (need sprint and field drinks tho, but dont want any rn to use them on nor plan to get any this month), im fine with cookies and scrolls, and candies well cant rlly grind them ig
Yeah I got him to 3/5, finished johto VA stuff, and 140d him
Then went back to 5/5 him and do the other pair up events for 
I already maxed out all pair only 5 * pu and 4 * pu need
Oh yeah need 4 star PUs too, I have 180 now but all will prob be used up this month
still need to increase protential for 16 4*
Oh right 5 new 4* this month
...not 6 because i wont pull Tina 
After that i will move to eggmon
I have like 26 left + 4 BPs being added + 2 lodge pairs

So I grind theme skill orbs, cant grind powerups and sync orbs, and my candy list for 4 stars

I have a few 5 star candies but im still deciding who to use it on or save it for reruns I want
No team rocket, bugscy, lodge gloria steven adaman
Better wait
Only have 3 4 star supp candies and tons of 3 star tech/support
Yeah no rush, I have a few candidates tho
Three/Five Rosa? More like Free/Five Rosa

Serperior pallosand and meowstic frames will be done soon (16 months) 
Lodge Cheren is ||right before EOS, trust||

Or after eos, who knows
You can’t prove me wrong if that’s the case 
Cheren come next month and you will be forever in shame 
Rallies are server side ?
waiting for reset for val 
Big gems incoming it’s close
We might possibly get more than 4400 too?
Yes
20min to spare and i just speedran like half the 8/28 expiring events lol
just rushed the challenge battles in like the past half hour
I literally did the EBEs at 3 AM
Including a free lodge scout. I definitely know who I’m choosing.
shit i forgot about cs 
ZOOM
gonna do full special dmg
so i dont have to change params at all
Do strength or hp params 
Rosa 5/5 grid 
we get a free rosa copy right?
Yes

huh what, we get a free rosa dupe?
Hopefully the others will come as well
for poma day
calem is already good at base
DEAR ARCEUS WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GEM COUNT
i swear i was at 36.6k literally yesterday and now after rushing events im at 46.8k LOL
About time my Rosa turns to a 2/5
hey trying to save until next datamine before i do anything rash
these long waits until datamine whenever i pick up the game and have someone i want is always painful, does anyone have tips?
5/5 by the end of next month true rosa fan
i mean free
They both need 1 candy each and then they'll be good
Wait
We get more than 1 rosa copy?
||time to say bye to half these gems prob.||
so uh. anni
brb gotta check if we got the 3k
sooo uh, apparently the cake on pull is only with paid gems 

they made a paid mf banner like wtf dena lmao
at least silver greeted me...
ignoring the fact i have all three of his pairs favorited and he's the only one i have favorited 
Time to rally for more gems
new oak bingo 
huh ok, i left that with pity still. my gems did NOT infact get thanos'd tonight, so guess im leaving the update with a pity still.
no 3k for anni but at least we can hoard. like. idk 3* tech candies

wait wheres the select ticket 
Complete mission
wait
could you just kill two birds with one stone if you did sync orb mission
dangit have to wait another like 6 days
But how about this
when eggmon run out, you can hatch eggs for a reason.
we have like 9 other options 
i should probably get around to exchanging my stockpile of eggs but looking at this...
who has the last laugh now 

i have hoarder mentality with eggmons
well, 3/5 gordie is here, but 0/5 of lapras lady still
...how many copies of shauna is "enough".
Also 0/5 Melony here
0/5 Gordie and Courtney 
now the question becomes on if anyone else is enough fav to be worth anything or if im fully in save mode... wait no thats not even a question, everything stays till after next datamine, easy saving mode 
im just enjoying the free pairs 
did they just give us 1k skip tickets as anni present or am i tripping
they did.
😂
tf did they think i was gonna do with 1k skips
cale accumulation is gonna take long 
cake**
alrighty then
Don't you feel a beloved child (player)?
At least I discovered that not all the dailies are mandatory to claim the useful rewards
Sad not enough grass codexes to 140 bpbarry 
Oh no, I’ll be overseas during the event 
That's why the count was lower initially
They gave 4k logins instead of 3k
And instead no gems
As present
I think? Or lower
dang ok
Changed to this, becomes 4k gems but need to login longer
so total still 28k ?
30.7k if we clear twitter rally
Oh wait the rally gems are given on 29 so it will carry to next datamine
Do we have any missions for 3k gems?
Yeah, BP pairs are so well designed for f2p

do we need to do extra battle for cake coin? or, is it under the regional daily battle?
Err what is
Just saw the new masters fair banner
I really hope the whales don’t indulge this crap
This is a genuine insult
To paid gems

At least cake is obtainable in 1 and a half month, therefore I didn't get tempted 
I see you there Marie
I just realized, if you get shafted by the cake banner you spend more gems on one new 5* unit then if you did all of the seasonal and pokefair selects
The banner makes sense
Coz they didn't give enuff gems
So people just bought gems

If i got extra money, i would rather buy the coin bundle instead
7k paid + 1 omni candy every 20 days 
Between the shit SSred and ssblue expansions and the paid MF banner
Gotta love Dena for that 
Seems like only paid MF banner we are getting is whatever the fuck they are giving us rn
cos 1k for me in 100 gems/10 cents my currency
1k paid for me costs the same as 100 paid gems + 200 stamina offer
So i grab because its cheap enough
So did we get any info abt the admins selector?
nope
hey
i was here a while back
used to be here
then quit the game to focus on exams
now im back
skipped the johtrio i wanted cause i fell in love with champ red
now im on 600 gems
Today I got a reminder how important having pities is
||no no i had a pity and got champ red||
now im on 600 gems
(i have 4 still)
||me and you brother, took an L but i have him, still didn't 3/5 tho||
right sry
oh hey i remember u
u were the guy on 500k gems
u taught me abt pities
u always kept scolding me when i yolod 🤣
also thanks to u i reduced my rerun list by a lot
Now im getting back to saving
save because the free gem forecast is not promising
So no coin today from daily battle?
5 daily tickets = 1 cake coin from your choice
starting september 3rd
well i am disappointed in one thing
My rerun list is huge I know
But i'm gonna get anni skyla through the 3k paid, i cant get ss diantha cause i just got emma and removed her from the list, and from seasonals im only being able to get palmarnie
so thats 2 more units scratched off the list
probably gonna remove johtrio as i dont much care abt them anymore
and therefore dont wanna pull them
removed zerena cause cyrus suffices all my dragon striker needs
Kinda ironic how Johto MFs were your ultimate favorites before
no im not playing for favs anymore cause i cant keep em in check
im just pulling the units that are ultimate in my opinion
like from now on ill probably on pull master fairs
and some broken pokefairs
At the rate that the powercreep is currently going, I am not sure how achievable that is
So you’re pulling meta, which is a way worse criterium to follow, since the powercreep never stops and there are always going to be MFs every three months and broken PFs almost every month
It doesn't have to be that bad, as long as you stay realistic in your wants
In the end, you decide what you like and what not
yep
And whatever makes you keep playing
its sustainable if you are very picky tho
Sure, but when a list has 10+ reruns, it’s not realistic at all
Just being honest, this list is never getting completed and will become bloated beyond repair.
Tbh, everyone can do whatever they want with their resources and time, but if someone posts in a thread that’s specifically for advice on spending and after 50 minutes of saying that 2 units are not interesting to them adds them to the highest tier of their list, there’s very little input that can be given, except for a critique
cos i did go for months without pulling sometimes
whoa ok
im sorry
didnt mean to offend with my list
but considering i took 5 units off it in just three months i think the goal is achievable
ill keep it to myself from next time
uhh.. if you are lucky that's possible ig, cos worst case scenario that's 5 pities
No offense taken, but there’s a difference between asking for advice and validation.
Only thing I’m adding is that on that list there are 5 units running this month, good luck
3 months - that adds up to about 84-90k in average, so yeah, you definitely need a decent luck to cross out 5 faves with that amount
while there are moments i get omegaop pulls, there are also moments I needed a pity
im sorry
u're right i was asking for validation not advice
i need to get this straight
With how things are going now it’s gonna be like 75k for 3 months
and play on terms that are acceptable to the game mechanic, not just based on luck
yeah
u're right
considering i just pitied champ red
things dont really look good with that trend
probably have to brace for terrible gem counts for the months after anni
rerun list should be less than 3 especially f2p
remove the rest except paid select and yes
maybe and dead month shows little to no commitment to your list
those units are added for the sake of filling the list
great removing dead month
maybe as well
done
cross out anni skyla cause im getting her within the next 24 hrs
and palmarnie i will get too in this month
the two kanto birds
imo
calem
might lose his value as weather setter when field units are coming
i dunno about cleaf but her kit suffers from " my moves all need to be in turn 1" syndrome
and her dmg is largely dependant on her rebuff and sun
which explains why she has shit offense stats and bp
i havent read lead and blue's kits yet so i might as well go into them
i just love the kanto and galarian birds
Wdym? TM and Leer both want to be used turn 1?
yes
Not that it is appropiate for this channel, but CLeaf does have a very straightforward rotation in fire teams
But u cant even unlock that until u use leer?
Oh I see
flare blitz has that sun mechanic
but its wasted if u sync with her
especially when u gonna have her support EX role
overall i just find quite abit of contradictions on her kit

I am sure it will look smooth in practice
true but personally not a fan of units that wanna depend on ss acerola which most ppl recommend , then if thats the case whats the selling point of the unit without that support
Also, u could just keep ur list but it’ll take a while to complete it and u may have to compromise if there’s new units u want
But also if ur willing to remove whole rows immediately, idt u want them enough
Champ Leaf wants to use everything turn 1
no speed she needs that
Ig for now it doesnt matter too much unless u plan to give her support EX role
ngl i dislike unit A requiring unit B for x buffs, its a big turnoff
i removed the row for dead months
might as well remove it cause im never gonna get those units anyways
NCLeaf does max everything she wants herself with ease, full self sufficiency
But still, Gem saving channel
When does that ever stop people from having full discussions on units
Having discussion on units is fine
Diss on that unit
So that people don't roll

All units r mid, dont use ur gems except for stamina
I feel like a villain defending some pairs here sometimes
There have been ones about units who aren’t even running
I disuading him to choose cleaf and then ppl just keeping booming with her benefits
what to do\
and then there are times where this is just lounge
It's my fault, I am too objective
true
This is the real lounge
it is not
Don't need more than 10 teams anyways 
well ppl dont spoiler it responsibly sometimes here
People be out there rolling zone, rebuffer and 200 BP dps for each typing and still not doing more than 2.5k CS 
3k CS when
4k offtype is "somewhat" challenging
True
Tho they’d just add more params to choose from
its also a "good time" for them to start dropping those cake coins by then
2.5k would prob be hard without the standard damage reduction param
i'll say give em 3-6 months
Solution is simple, pull ||Regigigas|| and offtype every content
I have to stop with Palmer propaganda
Well S+ and above stuff can do 4.5k consistently
And outside offregion ebe, CS is the hardest content
||I'm going for him after NCs|| 
The content scaling compared to units is just 
I mean
A modern tech unit does 100k on 3.5k MM
Doing 100k on Pikachu stage....dream bigger
999999 the yellow rats
Yea but a lot of gacha games do introduce better stages eventually

Here that shit almost never happens
uhh some will design the stage that it's almost impossible to clear without the featured unit tho...
Shit gacha game then 
ik some games that does that
yeah
Iirc those games allow friend units as borrow
Also like those games there are ways to get around those unit specific gimmick stages
Depends on the game
there’s a delicate balancing for these live service games to create new stuff that’s harder for veteran players but also brings in new players and doesn’t make them feel left out
but it does make our job in here easier, since newer better units aren’t needed to clear the same old content
Yea
At most the content needs a gen pool unit due to the mission limitations
But ig it's better to skip that 1 coin/300 gems instead of potentially dumping 36.6k gems
Bps are also actual great freebies
yea they are
High score 
Well 180k isnt so bad
We’ll get a poma-ified tera raid mode for co op content 
Not really
200k is only 40k per stage
It's not even hard even if you are doing 2 ontype, 1 offtype
That's why the medal score bumped up higher than that
I meant its kind of hard if ur going for the medal, but 180k is pretty easy
Raid would be super fun
I hope if they do implement raid it doesn't allow same unit as other people in raid room
I don't want to see reds everywhere 
Nah I am mostly referencing what other gachas do for raid
Ye
I never played anything past XY
Oh

In most cases it’s giant boss in big arena take it down with other people
Usually has multiple phases
Some games have a list of bonus units that deal more damage or give more rewards after defeating it

Well leaderboard and raids are the only way to still force people into rolling "meta" stuff
So Dena just picked former as the route to go for
And leaderboard has no rewards so we can 
I hope 10k is easier this HS, I didnt get the medal during the water one 
Preferably id like to not have to re do it 
Does top 100 give anything? Idc abt being on a leaderboard if it gives nothing
Nothing
Ok good 
Whales will do, they are already using paid gems for MF banners, the cake is just an extra reward.
Whales are gonna support the whale banner lol. We will just get the cakes later as F2P and dolphin players
yeah whale pulling for 3/5 and 5/5 always use paid gem anyway
it's just 1 cake, people really thought it's gonna be 5
Cakes are the new powerboost anyways
And seems like they are focusing on limited units first
So no reason to rush for those 
True, i just gonna give cakes on my MF faves
Well because if there's plenty of alternatives, usually i will use MF faves than others just because they have MF passives
Personally, just like move candies, idk who to use them on so ill just hoard 
At least its cheaper than candies, as each pair only need to use 1 cake while candies usage range from 1 to 4 candies for move levels
same i haven't used any candies, i wish they release 3-4* cakes too but for now they probably only give them to new 5* and slowly add them for old 5*
oh hey sup i remember u too
Oh the cakes have a rarity?
no but they should
Hi 
I have some options to candy, however idk who
Im at 59 coins for strike, so almost 3
Like 56/57 for tech iirc?
45 maybe for support
32ish for general
I havent even exchanged them cuz I dont want to accidentally use them 
Even if 3* 4* pairs got cake treatment, it probably uses the same cake...as cake role need EX
So Oak and BP Master pairs wont get cake for now 
kinda wished they released the new daily stage earlier

apparently we dont get them until 6 resets later
Yeah hoenn starts this reset but they r waiting until sinnoh 
its decided by dena
the ex role
Decided by DeNa
They give them an EX role and then u have to use that cake
red ex role is tech so you have to use tech cake
So for example they gave red a tech EX role so u need a tech cake
OKAY thank you
dena will decide what 2nd EX role that unit can get and we can use that type of cake on that unit
unfortunately we dont get to choose

Inb4 Sprint SC Steven
Fair, we'll create monsters
We get to choose who to use it on, not what cake to use 
Like zerena, palmer, ncred are all strike pairs but zerena got support while other 2 got tech cake role
Tbh cakes take so long that I’ll be saving all of those that we get until 5th Anni
Support Support role
yeah think we need 3 months to form 1 cake
Only 2 months if you focus on 1 cake
As each month give 6 coins for each 5 roles and you can buy 6 of your desired role coin from daily ticket shop
So 12
Yep 100 days to form 1 cake of each roles
Yeah, which is quite long, unless they release a busted Diantha/Cynthia/Nemona, I’ll be saving them. If they are going to be used for meta reasons, I’d rather wait until I have at least 1 per type to spare. So I should have the materials for 5 cakes saved up for anni
But in that time gap maybe you can build 1/2 cakes from daily ticket shop
Paulo?

He’s a sprint with support EX role
im skipping him so idrc
well!

isnt it good
zerena always needs to take the first sync in battle so her ex role ensures she also plays the role of support ex by double buffing
the only reason he came back crying is cos ||he got cucked big time by giovanni||
Shorter than move coins though, need 4 months+ to form 2 candies to make 1/5 pair to 3/5
i must say i was proudly able to predict that paulo would have dusk form... along with 500 other ppl
yeah you can get cake faster than candy

Yep just want to give example that same role pairs doesn't mean will have same cake roles
uk, they should have 6 types of cake...
right
Lisia should get a field role
Yeah, good thing that of the new roles only Nemona is a fave that may need them, so I should be able to 3/5 her soon enough with those candies (I may do 1 universal and 1 sprint)
Sprint and field coins are still cloudy, only 1 coin each on September 
40 months to 3/5 field/sprint pairs from 1/5
hmm
Tbh, I don’t like the new roles at all. Fields can be interesting, if they are going to make them more support like, but sprint have a mechanic that gameplay wise doesn’t interest me at all. Unless it’s going to be tied to a fave, I’m fine with not expanding my rooster that way
if i had a nickel everytime red was used as an anni unit, i'd have 3 nickels, which is weird cause there have only been 4 annis
and 3 of them have had red
I’ve recently remade all my teams and optimized them and I’ve realized that I’ve only like 3/4 gaps in them before having 34 teams for special and physical variants of each type and the units that I’m looking for don’t exist yet, so I’m really quite chill with what next year is going to throw at me. I am going to be looking forward for those units coming into the game and for the rest, I’ll be saving up more than before, since the F2P gems are declining fast. Selects will be ore than enough to experiment with new stuff in between saving and MFs drops
Actually i feel quite the same way
Sprint units are just useless to be extremely honest
Field units are also ok but they cant set the field effect at will which makes them much more complicated to use compared to those units which can set field at a click of a button
they release those 2 new roles to justify adding the ex role tbh, and avoid making every pair a tech
The only way i can see myself using sprint EX sync maybe for gauntlet as it can make sprint followed by support sync faster so fast 3 sync buffs
|| Red always takes me to pity
||
Im just happy to finally have a Red that can fit my faves category
Ok great
Got Palmarnie, Ny Lisia and Anni Skyla
3 units off the list thanks to paid selects
i love august 28th
the list is much much shorter now
ill be able to manage this over the year
because ive run out my quota of paid gems for the year 💀
I suppose there won’t be many selects left in the year to use paid gems on
oh right
perhaps next year
august is the month i can really delete half the list thanks to selects
I hate that they throw every select near anni 
save some for new year or half anni
regardless my list is just 8 units now, i wont pull any of them rn and ill pull on their rerun
so im off to a few months of saving
Dena has all the mechanisms needed to make a max raid
They just don’t want to pull the trigger
3 teams just like when we had to do ex battles with carries
Go with friends or go solo
Gotta get those bonuses for good quarterly earnings 
Even if they do add those stuff, high rank rewards would probably suck like LG/HS
prestige rewards are great tbh, just the execution was bad. but f2p will complain regardless, you aren't supposed to get everything
That and they threw in a 5k x25 on a non new years event
I fundamentally disagree with giving a
, the most valuable item in poma, to only the top players
I was gemming pretty much everyday except 2 days and still missed rewards
Coz my Steven was only 1/5 back then iirc
1000%
I absolutely despised the first prestige
They pretty much stopped giving full candies at this point
Remember when random events used to give full candy
Now we get 2 coins max

The weather duo release is the peak content we ever got
Aren’t skip tickets pog?
how about the top get a full candy and lower ranks get like 3 coins, 5 coins... rather than high score rewards now when everyone get 1 coins of each, and prestige gave gems too
They probably realized they went overboard

And it’s all about consumer behavior graphs
but yeah people are mad about the medal from high score so i don't think they can ever add rewards like prestige again
Especially when we have 8+ new limited units in single update
And they give 1000 skip tickets

I think the 1k skip tix are designed for new players, so that they don’t run out?
They already give excessive amounts from dailies
This
200 would have been fine for anni
That doesn't mean they have to reduce gems to give 1000 skip tickets
You could easily start getting an overflow within about 2 weeks or so
new players need more tome codex and sync orbs tho, skip tickets 
Even then orbs aren’t a problem now either
Is it really reduced gems though? Considering the rallies and stuff, this month gives an above average about of amount
It’s not as high as last anni but it’s still good
Newbies roll NCred anyways
Just ohko the stage with Blizzard 
They’re in most exchanges and lodge gives a lot
We only getting 28k gems this update
Rally rewards are dropping on 29th
So that counts for next update
They gave the usual anni 3k gems last month itself during nemona release
And last month gem count including that 3k wasn't spectacular either
It was funny when people were coping anni would be 30k+ 
Also the rocket admin ticket looks like a variety banner tiered scout thing
So we are also only getting 1 shitty selector with only 3 choices
Coz I am trying to find sources for if it's a selector and there's no sign of it
It feels weird that anni is so low but I somehow still left the banner I went for this year with more gems than I came in with so I call that a W either way
There’s no free select, it’s a free guaranteed admin seemingly
So you’ll get petrel or archer, whichever one is less useful
Ye, and it's likely tied to variety banner tho
imo variety pairs should've been 4* in a fair banner like rachel, sawyer and tina
I am not having high hopes on it being free for everyone
people will pull for those
Ew it’s not even a select of them
Scam anni
variety is just blatant cash grab
It’s the an easy lazy cow that will be milked
Remember all these characters we haven’t released at all yet? Now get them for a limited time or never see them again
People see Giovanni and rhydon
And will instantly pool

Eventho it's no costume or EX flavors
It’s not, absol said that it’s likely from a rally or the like
The variety banner has its own select ticket
There's no mention on rallies in dev letter
Only selector mentioned is the shitty lodge PF one

Dev letter doesn’t even mention the varieties though?
Absol said clearly that he was confident that it’d be free
Variety scout is mentioned
Free admin is not
There's no way they wouldn't mention free admin
Considering it's the only somewhat decent thing we are getting this anni

I just think its weird to have 2 separate tickets if one of them isn’t attached to the variety scout

Weird
Knowing Dena, they'd brag so hard abt free stuff
Like how they are glorifying the current shitty selector with just 3 units

It’s dena
Throwing in electric HS with such a selector is just pure evil
They changed after what happened
which one is the non paid?
Wait is that why masterfairs r quarterly 
I’m just saying, since DeNA are on the stock market they have to ensure their shareholders are happy
Makes sense
So I suppose they have been looking at more ways to streamline revenue and be more like other games where they care about 10% of their customers who are whales vs the other 90% who are F2P and light spenders
Me w 3/5 raihan, 2/5 marnie, and no N, who’s the character I wanted to use in lodge the most from the ones im missing 
I'd have preferred them just put all lodge PFs instead of blatantly making newbies pick for electric HS

I am missing Marnie and other 2 are already 3/5, that doesn't mean I actually want to pick her
Don't you wanna take care of the 1.5 Anni tickets?
new player is so lucky... I joint the game and only wish for OG marnie and it took me a year now they get her free
That’s how it starts
Little by little
They give you less pretties
The one that gives you a random exec, seemingly
Until they are starving you
?
Ugh
ah...
||gotta hope rngesus gives me giovanni...||
Execs = no gio
Gio is clearly not the leader of team rocket
we don't know
When is the ticket anyway? Sept 6th?
I personally doubt it
The difference in quality between his kit and the admins is so wide I don't see DeNa giving us a chance to roll him, considering how stupid his 1/5 already is
Yeah, minors have monthly paid gem purchasing limits
…may want to delete this too then
No 3k gems
Is this the most troll gift they could've given?
Next gift will be music coins 
There is 3k gems, just over 6 days i think?
4k
Even better 
Nah it was datamined
Not really, we used to get 3k rally +3k present
Iirc
Dont we also have rallies going on rn?
We havent gotten anything new except that JP rally, and we dont get it until 9/29

Coping for more rallies 

Im coping the Villain co-op event will give gems or move coins or villain admin ticket 
Need to wait till 6th sept to see what's it about.
Use them on favs who will appreciate the boost. Like even if ss morty (my fav) gets an ex role, unless it’s sprint role I wouldn’t considering using a cake on him cause it’d be redundant. However I’d probably give anni raihan his cake no matter the role since he’d appreciate all of them
Lillietea Field 
Id prob have some id consider, so id have to decide from them
Give me Field Cynthia for hilarity
Sprint EX SS Wally + Adrenaline 1 Lucky Skill 
I'll use cakes on every Serena alt possible 
August 28th just sorted my flying type needs, poison type needs and ice type needs
And steel cause of palmarnie
And fairy cause of ny lisia
Now my only type which i cant ontype is bug… and probably rock
Beautiful day
Meanwhile the banner’s rates will determine if i even bother with it
If the rockets share a drop rate then i am not bothering
If they each have individual chance drop rates I’ll try my luck
I still don’t see what’s so monster about him tbh
I would say that 1/5 isn't the craziest thing in the world tbh
3/5 ex it is
It's not just his damage though, its freeze off on B Ice Beam that is crazy
By the end of the month if I get nothing imma just do it
and no, you don't need to run him at 3/5. 1/5 is enough.
hes not worth it period
Truly yes
he doesn't need crit thanks to his passive
he maxes his special attack
even at that point, with guarenteed freeze they aren't gonna hit you back
so you don't need to one shot
||i get that he has SMUN stuff, but still feel artificially inflating it is kinda whatever when supports wanna stack it||
does he honestly need SMUN?
he's already powerful enough as is with literally everything in his base kit
i just feel his dmg is kinda artificially inflated
instead of innate grid multipliers
same case for ||cleaf||
||honestly CBlue is the best one of the bunch||
||cleaf is even worse cos of sun and rebuff and she depends heavily on it||
But what about if it’s like moltres stage where they don’t get frozen
