Resource Saving Support (Gem Zen)

[tardy fiber]

SC event also rerun at least once now seeing scrosa also rerunning this month

[summer goblet]

yeah true

[crisp oracle]

Only reason I started saving was because I missed SC Diantha's rerun

[tardy fiber]

Oh right variety never reruns

Well we just got sc select this year

[crisp oracle]

no paid gems

[tardy fiber]

We might get variety select on half anni

[crisp oracle]

and no i'm not breaking personal principle to go for a unit I want

[summer goblet]

Variety select scout please

so i can grab Ball Guy

or Giovanni

maybe Archer

[crisp oracle]

Free Gem select scout please

[grim plover]

more like

variety pool

[summer goblet]

well don't worry

when variety scout gets unpopular

[feral vale]

We’re being given gems to get a unit

[summer goblet]

and old

[tardy fiber]

I will be tempted for variety select if variety OC like ball guy and rocket admins actually have chances to become lodge guest, if not, i aint wasting my paid gems for non faves

[summer goblet]

we get ticket scout

[crisp oracle]

Fair; I just wish the gems would come in faster ngl it feels like an eternity since the last 30K month without rallies

also did they kill blissful bonanza

[tardy fiber]

They kill blissful bonanza because we got highscore and 2 special cs this month

[crisp oracle]

they killed it last month too, which is odd though

this month I understand

[tardy fiber]

Those give few hundreds gems each

[summer goblet]

honestly

[feral vale]

I don’t think my joke went through

[summer goblet]

if Dena gives us variety

and paid mf

give us at least a pity worth of f2p gems

so that playerbase with low self-control

can be happy and over spend

[crisp oracle]

Sorry, for I am the living embodiement of r/whoosh

[summer goblet]

and spend money on gems

not too hard to ask

more units

more gems to spend

[crisp oracle]

how do you know that the playerbase with low self control will stick all their gems into one banner

[tardy fiber]

Im not sure if i will ever get paid MF select if it happens, i cannot see that select being less than 10k paid...well its uncertain as ||i might grab adaman/irida from it for lodge|| but 10k does stings ...its 60 days of orb bundle

[crisp oracle]

if it was 15K gems it won't be horrible

[summer goblet]

i have seen many evidence where players spend gems recklessly

ok well not one banner

[crisp oracle]

I mean it could be worse, you get Adaman, Leon, or Anni Steven pick from one 15K and Irida, LuSSa, or Anni Lillie for another 15K

[summer goblet]

but multople banners

[crisp oracle]

that would be a solid select

[summer goblet]

more select scout will help

for limited units

maybe every month, instead of spotlight select scout

we get monthly pokefair select scout for older units

[tardy fiber]

At least every gauntlet month, having gauntlet weakness select would be nice

That have pokefairs in it

[crisp oracle]

so the normal Diantha, Ingo, Red banner but a 5K select

ok 3K

that's a bit more fair

[tardy fiber]

Yep

I will grab a cheap diantha

Champion have more chance to become lodge guests than Ingo

[crisp oracle]

I still need 2/3 of the Diantha alts I only have SS Diantha

Coping for a free Diantha someday

[tardy fiber]

I thought they already give us that chance

Free champion select

I grabbed cynthia

For lodge

[summer goblet]

they did

and i am waiting for another champion select

for 2/5 Lance

[crisp oracle]

I got Cynthia for lodge

[tardy fiber]

Yep, im waiting for free steven this time

[crisp oracle]

now I must wait patiently for my HTG5 gauge hungry fairy unit

[tardy fiber]

Diantha must not be your fave then

[crisp oracle]

that totally does not demand first sync

[crisp oracle]

look I had NYLisia and I was smoking the shiny rapidash pack

[tardy fiber]

Well enjoy your nylisia and forget about diantha

[crisp oracle]

Well NYLisia does cover my Fairy type

[summer goblet]

i rather the admin are 4 stars like Tina

[crisp oracle]

but DianthaMax (at 3/5, I don't have the coins) will soon be completed

[summer goblet]

but give them 5% each

they can't be that popular

[tardy fiber]

Will give them higher percentage than 0.4%

Tina got whopping 10%

Admins can be 2.5% each

[summer goblet]

that's also fair

anything higher than a MF rate

[crisp oracle]

I'm surprised people are complaing about 0.4% when this year's summer banner was 0.33%

[tardy fiber]

Well at least admins variety after this will be higher than rocket, unless they merge team magma and aqua banner together

[summer goblet]

i think they are complaining for the new characters

especially if they love the Admins

[winged fossil]

ayo? i FINALLY get to see a rerun of an event i missed? i just realized

Super Tour Guide Rosa >

ill finally have sandslash this month.

wonder if theres any other reruns like that in the pile that i didnt notice during datamine timeframe

[timber wren]

the difference is that those are reruns, all of those were units that initially ran on separate banners at 2% each

we have no variety reruns so far so these are brand new characters that are debuting at 0.4% each and no idea if or when they will return, so the fomo is the point

and iirc no character in the game has ever rerun at a higher rate than their initial run but someone can step in to correct me

guzma and plumeria, there’s your exception

[tardy fiber]

There's also bede event iirc

Its weird, i feel like we just recently get Bede event rerun and its rerunning again

Its a prize pool event iirc

[crisp oracle]

That makes sense; I just saw a few people complain that it was purely about rates on Reddit though and I was just wondering why

Too bad, those Rocket Admin are spotlight/lower end Pokefair worthy for debut and they're relegated to variety

[fallen path]

That team rocket variety scout is downright predatory

I hate it, and I feel bad for the people who want multiple units in that scout

[rare swan]

It's a real slap in the face when combined with the awful battle rally rewards

[summer goblet]

The best we can do is to spread the word

send feeback and boycott the Variety Scout unit

[sturdy flower]

here's your 1 coin

[maiden kayak]

how to? man

[summer goblet]

money is the real power

[maiden kayak]

all my fcking favs have high chances of being variety

its legit annoying

[sturdy flower]

crop a'la creme will be if we somehow miss the 400k

[summer goblet]

boycott those as well

[maiden kayak]

and the sales for that banner btw is pretty good

go ask the japanese players to stop spending on that banner

[rare swan]

Not even a sprint or field coin

[maiden kayak]

they are the ones who spend the most on that banner

[summer goblet]

we def should

[sturdy flower]

spendu no moru onegaishimasu

[summer goblet]

yeah its gonna be annoying to convince japanse spenders to boycott Variety scout

[maiden kayak]

cos they are shy to feedback too

so

[sturdy flower]

what can we do if they love it

[maiden kayak]

if anything

[summer goblet]

someone who can write Japanese and make a Persona 5 speech to take a stance

to this injustice

[maiden kayak]

im annoyed theres a change in new operations manager

just because of the change all these shitty tactics all come to play

as much as i want to protest against that fcker

dena being dena

[sturdy flower]

baby boy wants to show off how much profit he can squeeze short term

[summer goblet]

while the hollywood strike is going on, the protest is progressing well for a fair deal by not working and making money

but we all have to work together to acomplish that

[deft glen]

I'm still waiting for a rally with Coins (the regular ones) as rewards

[hard wave]

But then wouldnt they be unable to afford it?

[tardy fiber]

Are there any more unreleased elite fours and gym leaders? They seem to be the ones that have a higher chance of becoming spotlights...well theres kabu, milo, chuck, wattson, lenora, malva

Oh cilan, chili, cress

[hard wave]

Chuck, juan, wattson, byron, striation trio, lenora, drayden, malva, illima, milo, kabu, opal

[tardy fiber]

For less popular rivals, trevor and tierno i guess

Seems like villain admins will be varieties

[crisp oracle]

||Blue looks cool, must wait for datamine someone please talk me out of this||

I don’t need to make another mistake

[hard wave]

Zapdos is ugly

[tardy fiber]

Bp surge is the better kanto electric support

And he is free

[crisp oracle]

||bros, I know there are no must pulls, but the units are looking better and better by the day||

But that is Powercreep for me ig

||or I could just wait for Palmer in a week||

[tardy fiber]

Gotta save for that scdiantha banner rerun or gauntlet diantha next month

[hard wave]

Half anni will have a better support

[crisp oracle]

I’ll prob wait for datamine like normal ||also honestly I’d rather have Beef but when the hell will he rerun||

[broken mulch]

Sadly one of my absolute favorites leaves before datamine

[tardy fiber]

Rockets? Iirc only rockets leave before datamine

Oh johtrio

[hard wave]

3rd anni, frogs, briish birbs

[summer goblet]

i pray none of them become variety scout, i will riot

[tardy fiber]

Probably become spotlight first and Variety later with another pokemon from their team

[sturdy flower]

Iono debuting in Variety is the day I quit

[broken mulch]

Naw, it’s RoSCa

[tardy fiber]

Oh i see, good luck

[broken mulch]

[dark cliff]

Well hopefully I will get another shot at Kyogre and Groudoun

Mainly the whale…I like the AoE water

I don’t like Maxie enough to sacrifice for Groudoun’s kit.

Especially given Courtney is now ticket summon

[tardy fiber]

Just use Naomi for free ground striker

[fallen path]

Not a striker but Clay exists

[tawny dagger]

Hapu

[fallen path]

Don’t ping me Hapu clears

[tawny dagger]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyCwklawAoM

[ashen thunder]

Maybe they give good ground dps one day
Like how they gave BP valerie

[vestal leaf]

Hey hey Naomi ain't that bad

[ashen thunder]

Limited unit

[vestal leaf]

Skill issue

[ashen thunder]

You miss it, you gonna wait

[vestal leaf]

Just offtype with Cyrus instead

[ashen thunder]

True

I am coping for new free legendary unit whenever paldea drops

[vestal leaf]

it's Wo-Chien

the other 3 are pokefairs

[tawny cedar]

When do we get the 3k gem rally rewards?

[ashen thunder]

More grass for high score

[ashen thunder]

28th iirc

[west thunder]

Zygarde does ground dmg

[ashen thunder]

Recommending gacha unit in zen

[rare swan]

Naomi is free and rerunning soon

[tardy fiber]

please

[uneven pewter]

That’s some food copium

[uneven pewter]

[gloomy holly]

Free unit rerunning? I would never imagine that

[crisp wraith]

But blue is here for an extra week after the gems run out for this month

[rare swan]

have you included the 3k we get from the twitter rally? also, please spoiler talk of pulling an active banner

[crisp wraith]

I dont think I included the 3k gems

Only included what I saw in pic in pins

[rare swan]

please spoiler your talk of pulling

[feral vale]

Spoiler that, please

[crisp wraith]

Been in lectures all morning haven’t been checking disc

[smoky stratus]

This is hilariously true

[flat schooner]

From today until <t:1695621601:d> you can get up to 10520 .
For more information check /events and /banners!

[crisp oracle]

That's it?

No way 💀

[smoky stratus]

Broh no

I’m in hell

[uneven pewter]

Sigh

This has to be

The worst anniversary ever

And it has me incredibly frustrated

[unkempt vortex]

This isn’t anni

It’s a regular month

[uneven pewter]

-.-

I know what you mean i just am beyond frustrated

Especially with the rocket banner

[unkempt vortex]

This is probably the worst anni for a gacha game I’ve played

[uneven pewter]

Because even if i go full steps there is no guarantee for anything

And i want all 5 because i have been begging for villains since the VA started

And it feels like the biggest slap in the face

[unkempt vortex]

How they managed to make execs more rare than a mf is astonishing

[uneven pewter]

That’s probably what makes me angriest

[unkempt vortex]

And they’re only going to continue the trend with the others

[uneven pewter]

Which has me boiling essentially

[hard wave]

I hope they atleast continue the ticket and make it a select

[smoky stratus]

Clearly you’ve never played genshin

[unkempt vortex]

You’re right I haven’t

[uneven pewter]

I did and dropped it right at the start

[hard wave]

I feel like they’ll just remove the ticket and change nothing else

[unkempt vortex]

And I wanna keep it that way

[uneven pewter]

Because of crap like fudging your banners

It’s bad enough you have to essentially pity twice

[unkempt vortex]

But there are plenty of other gacha games with multiple limited units on banners with better rates than this

[fallen path]

i mean, they clearly care about the top 10% of whales

[uneven pewter]

Do they really though?

[fallen path]

they have metrics

[hard wave]

They care abt their wallets

[fallen path]

you can already hear it here "if my favs come in a banner with x other units i'll still summon even if the rate is worse than a mf"

even if its a variety sync pair

even if the devs are lazy af

[hard wave]

Cant wait for units w 0% summon rate, if u want them u need a pity or screw u

[unkempt vortex]

The devs really led people on with variety

[fallen path]

it wasn't planned that i don't have favs, but at the end of the day, the players don't care what kinda banner it is if it has a fav

[unkempt vortex]

First eevee then ball guy then the e4 and captains

Now this

[fallen path]

but i can skip because i don't have favs and i've clearly stated that i hate variety scouts

so dena are taking advantage of this

[unkempt vortex]

Atp if they just wanted to make another type of limited unit just label it as pf

There were already pf who take forever or have never rerun

[fallen path]

a new name for a banner creates hype

[grim plover]

Same. And not only because of the rocket banner

There's nothing to do

[unkempt vortex]

That’s what happens when they lock every event mission behind a timer

[hard wave]

Everything is always spaced out so there’s rlly nothing to do most of the time

[smoky stratus]

Well it’s that or complete it all in 5 minutes and say no content

[hard wave]

either way no content

[tardy fiber]

Sc rosa event rerun in 2 resets, time to get my 10

[uneven pewter]

Just trying to bleed the month dry of gems

Pressure players to spend

Etc.

[sand crown]

It’s so blatant

[uneven bone]

I really need to stop yolo summoning lmao

[winged fossil]

honestly how dry the month is is why i decided to lower my expectations on my targets for the month even though i have leftovers and theres a lesser fav banner still up

id rather save for new favs now rather than go for an old lesser fav

especially since theres no guarantee next month will be fav dry... ...would halloween units be in the next datamine, or the one after?

[uneven bone]

Yeah and I’m just wanting to get the new Anni units, but I don’t want to spend too much money

[winged fossil]

hell, i skipped a greater fav this month because the banner's a joke and theres not gonna be enough candy to warrant it anytime soon.

[tardy fiber]

Halloween in next datamine iirc

Fall Iris released on 17 oct so yep its on next datamine

[vernal glade]

I do plan to skip next month. ||I must save for Neo Champion Unova to pull. I have a feeling Unova NC could be soon so that’s why saving gems so can pull them.||

[winged fossil]

manifesting fall hisui Zoroark for fellow zoroark simps

[tardy fiber]

Yep i guess so, NC Serena released on 30 November so if they are pushing the NCs, it might happen around that time

[vernal glade]

||If it is next month then I’m forced to pull it. As a Zoroark fan, I’m not missing it unlike what almost happened last year.||

[winged fossil]

||fallbert was responsible for me missing the first time she came||

[vernal glade]

Slowly going up on my gems

[sturdy flower]

im looking forward to hs and the type specific csmm, but both events are rather gem dry

iirc hs rewards are as meh as lg right

[tardy fiber]

Certificates my beloved

I can 150 all faves with elec HS reward

71 150

[hard wave]

4k co op orbs
30 scout tickets
1 4* strike candy per role
3 5* PU
1 coin of each role (including omni)
10 Certs

I think im missing smth

Oh nvm, 30 rewards total

Forgot its 5 scout tickets per not 10

[sturdy flower]

giving certificates one by one will never not be funny

ah yes, one level up is so precious!

[tardy fiber]

Better than special cs that only give 5

[rare swan]

yeah the HS rewards are quite good. worth giving it a decent crack for

of course, no need to go past 180k if you don't want to

i'm personally only going for the rewards this time (but I've already earned the medal from the water event, so)

[hard wave]

Hopefully alot less ppl go for the medal this time, I still need it

I didnt rlly feel like trying last time and I still dont, but I want to get it over w

[rare swan]

i can see it being less competitive, yeah

[hard wave]

Plus its a cool medal

[fallen path]

It’s going to be trickier than last time

[hard wave]

I think last time I ended ultra 1? Maybe ultra 2 last day

[fallen path]

Less choice this time around with sync pairs for full on type

[hard wave]

Yeah its 23 waters vs 16 electrics for me

I made teams tho so hopefully they work

[rare swan]

people are already posting teams and receiving feedback in #1128052735967764621 , so feel free to pop in there

we have the #1 player from the previous HS in our server and a ton of Top 50s, they'll help you

[smoky stratus]

i want to go big

but i also have candy aversion

[rare swan]

don't waste a candy on a pair you'll never use outside this event

i could have candied my 1/5 Eusine to push higher in the water event but I didn't

[tardy fiber]

Same, i just gonna do 180k as i only have 3 electric EX hopefully i can clear it though...i forgot how much strength needed to score 180k

[hard wave]

Personally I just did 11,970 then scaled it down from there

11,970 bcz w other multipliers I could hit 36k or higher and it’s the highest super hard stage

[rare swan]

36k per stage

Almost like a pity

[tardy fiber]

Yep just i forgot if its 200 strength param

Or can do lower

[dark cliff]

I forgot she exists

[tardy fiber]

I remember her existence more than Hapu

[dark cliff]

Ooooofff

[uneven pewter]

So

Here’s what i say about candies

One if you’re not sure

Check the chart

But also if you’re not sure ask what does each part of their grid give you

Like take me and my boy Lysandre

Not everyone is a gigachad and appreciates our firelord and is willing to 5/5 him. Today we inducted a new brother to our ranks. @civic prairie forgot he got downside up at 5/5 which is a complete game changer for him as a unit

Point being though

A unit like rose

Yes he has some nice things beyond 3/5

But he is perfectly good and usable at 1/5

Tldr like spending gems, candy who you want but understand like the new cakes they are a very slow acquisition

So make sure if you’re going to use them dont waste them on someone like you don’t even like

[civic prairie]

As someone who frequently checks the recommend move level graphics, I've been considering 5/5ing him for a long time

I am thoroughly satisfied

Also just cause I like him!

[tardy fiber]

Yep 5/5 is a tough commitment, well you need 2 months to form a candy and we need 4 candies to 5/5 a pair from 1/5 so 8 months. Even the cake that can be fully formed in 50 days when you use daily tickets also people are already complaining about, move candies take way longer.

[civic prairie]

It matters a lot in my case that I had him at 3/5 since the beginning

So it didn't feel like as big of an investment, since there weren't any 1/5 strikers that I obviously needed to promote

[maiden kayak]

lysandre is probably one of the only few units that loves 5/5

most of the time 4/5 amd 5/5 are shit

[hard wave]

well it takes 2 months for 1 candy of each role (for strike tech support atleast), cakes take 50 days for ONE role, 100 for the others

[tardy fiber]

But each pair only need 1 cake and not 4 cakes

Move candies need 4 to 5/5 from 1/5

[hard wave]

true

[tardy fiber]

Im still coping for power boost treatment...would stings when i 5/5 and suddenly DeNa give power boost 3/5 grids like Cynthia and Lance

[lost bobcat]

Me with 5/5 Lysandre before powerboost
And the only other 5/5 unit on purpose is H.Erika

[uneven pewter]

Still waiting for Steven’s turn

[lost bobcat]

Btw I'm a 1/5 enjoyer, never used a yellow coin bcs extra saving
(Which now comes handly for the new roles) The chart take in consideration the gain of the single units regardless of the benefit gain for your roster or your tactic

I would say that if you're "unsure" just save
You can always do it later

[tardy fiber]

Im still waiting for a select that has him...kinda want him for lodge

[hard wave]

Prob a free select

Idk if they r still including 2020 pfs in paid ones

[tardy fiber]

Hopefully on run up to half anni

NY select probably have pokefairs that i want dupes

[lean mango]

Gem count, recovery arc

Hopefully next month is a skip month

[rare swan]

5/5 is 100% a game changer for Lysandre, it's like a whole new pair

But 5/5 is only something you should consider in gemeral if you plan to regularly use the unit

Wouldn't do it on a whim

[lean mango]

I've done my 5/5s on my big faves since if it's my big faves I won't see it as a waste gotta think about the investment

[rare swan]

Yup!

I always 5/5 my Big Faves regardless, but I don't recommend it overall

Best only to 5/5 when you know it will be worth it

[lean mango]

With big faves ya kinda have to have a really small list of them to consider making all 5/5 since that's a chunk of your resources, I only have 5 big faves and 1 of them isn't even in the game rn

[vernal glade]

Most of the time my faves are 3/5 but if it’s a big fave I 5/5. but some my faves at 1/5 still

[lapis pine]

I’ve candied my 3 favourite units to 5/5 and don’t regret at all

But I wouldn’t do it unless it’s 1. A big fav, and 2. They have a good 5/5 grid

[vestal leaf]

My only limited 5/5 is a pitied 4/5 from Anni 1 lol

I got 5/5 ssleaf from champ road just to get the best stall unit in the game

The closest thing is 4/5 og Gloria because it reminds me of the good times of prestige 1

[uneven pewter]

Yea i was just trying to highlight the point of use candies for units you will actually use

[uneven pewter]

Let me tell the strange stories about ss wally and ss leon

The only banners that fell into my lap In over abundance

I still have the ss leon screenshot somewhere since that was a true lightning in a bottle moment for me

[lofty relic]

savings

[fallen path]

did you design those, dreamy

[lofty relic]

ye just copied the ingame style using photoshop

[sturdy flower]

All these Miku arts but no POMA Miku collab

[uneven pewter]

Fully expecting the sada and turo duo at xmas

Or 4.5 anni

[lofty relic]

i'm worried they might not even get the dragons

[uneven pewter]

The hell else can they get

[lofty relic]

their other ace paradox like iron valiant & roaring moon

[gloomy holly]

Like I always say, expect disappointment every time

[vernal glade]

Give them the battle theme key also.

[tough oriole]

They share a battle theme, so unless they do an Archie/Maxie (which is really possible), the music key will be for music coins

[lofty relic]

i am so hyped for theme remix

[crisp oracle]

I am so hyped to finally be able to spend stamina on events tomorrow

[fallen path]

it's not even a new event, it's a repeat

but i'm looking forward to it

[vernal glade]

Plus everyone gets another chance for sandslash. As for us that already got it a free powerup

[rustic heron]

why is she inhaling bocchi

[hard wave]

I wonder if it’d be elio magearna and selene zeraora or the other way around

Also maybe one of the profs will be free turo plz

[sturdy flower]

but profs are die

as of now

we don't know with DLCs

[hard wave]

They came to pasio thru the time machine

[sturdy flower]

but that will get resolved in future DLC

i assume

there are too many plot holes

[hard wave]

Eh they’ll figure smth out, I doubt they wouldnt join

We need more profs too still no elm, birch, rowan, juniper, burnet, or magnolia

[uneven pewter]

I actually fully expect this

Especially since it’s a prime opportunity for one to be more primal and the other to be more techno

[tough oriole]

Is there a future/past litemotif?

[uneven pewter]

No

But even archie and maxie shared a boss theme

[tough oriole]

I guess they could just use different instruments then

[uneven pewter]

Dena’s spin is unique

[tough oriole]

But they had a base to change things, with the heavy rain/harsh sun theme already existing

[uneven pewter]

Sure but they’re creative

Even most of the secondary battle thems like ssr cynthia and ss giovanni’s are entirely unique arrangements

Hell

Emma’s was free real estate

[junior trout]

Same with sonia

[summer goblet]

This will be my final gem milestone for a while

[frozen geyser]

I’m waiting for Palmer and Regigigas but the FOMO from the team rocket banner is unreal. It’s taking everything I have to not pull for them even though I know it’ll take going to pity and even then I still probably won’t get all of them

All of y’all that can save more than 2 multis worth of gems at a time have insane patience and I applaud it

[unkempt vortex]

Do something else

This is one of the most non interactive gacha games out there

[frozen geyser]

True that

[grim plover]

that's like the worst banner ever

and supporting that banner will make dena to release more

[frozen geyser]

Yeah the rates are abysmal. It’s a huge slap in the face

[mint zephyr]

I’ll be having a swell time saving my gems for the next decade since I only want ash and he’ll never come back

[rare swan]

||As someone who pulled on that banner,|| don't do it

The chances of you getting all 4 of them, even with a pity, are very low

[mint zephyr]

Wait you did?

I didn’t realize they got released already

Palmer I mean

[rare swan]

No, the Rockets

[feral vale]

Rockets banner rate is 0.4% each. Pure bait.

[mint zephyr]

It’s ok it’s not worth because it’s not ash

[uneven pewter]

Yea i will say that after watching youtubers pull for the rockets

It’s a stacked deck

[crisp oracle]

Ash is a very special case. It’s unrealistic to expect anything like him for a bit

The only thing he isn’t number one in is consistent DPS

[mint zephyr]

Therefore it’s good for saving gems since I’ll never be touching anything else 😂

[rare swan]

You may need to prepare yourself for him never rerunning

we are not expecting him to

[smoky stratus]

Why are like

The standard is ash

Anything works

[crisp oracle]

Its painful to see everyone in CoOp having rats + SSAC, but it’s funner to not have a 100% win button. You know, actually having to experiment building teams

Building teams with characters is part of the fun

[smoky stratus]

I have rats

[uneven pewter]

|| i caved because they are favorites but i also accepted i am eventually going to likely have to use a selector down the road. I got beyond lucky to get Giovanni on step 7. I got scuffed getting two archers from step 4 and the random ticket. I am waiting on the selector step banking on the random ticket to get one of the three admins i am missing. The sad reality is i can very realistically scuff and get another archer dupe. Leaving me the choice of having to use a selector for arianna unless i somehow sack on the last step x11.

Tldr the rates are horrible and you shouldn’t expect anything beyond the step 10 selector and the random ticket. ||

[smoky stratus]

I never use them

Outside of cs

And ONLY electric cs

[lean mango]

|| As a another person who did pull on the banner, || it will cost you a pity to get what you want which if it's for fomo reasons it's not worth it.

[mint zephyr]

Nah other people might put the standard as ash but I just like him as a character and he’s why I even came to this game because I thought ash would be a playable unit and had no idea about his anime troubles

[crisp oracle]

Yea, unfortunately you started too late 😔

[mint zephyr]

It’s super painful it’s like they’re rubbing wound in my salt

[crisp oracle]

But if you shift to pika as your favourite you may be able to get SS Red down the line

[mint zephyr]

😔I blame Dena because the only reason I started this late was because they had this bug where my game always crashed during downloading resources#

And it wasn’t a phone problem

[crisp oracle]

What can I say? The day they yeeted Ash’s theme was the day I kinda knew the chance of Ash rerun went down to near 0

[mint zephyr]

Pika is my favorite so if sst red shows up it’ll be fine too ig

[crisp oracle]

Yeah, I personally think SST Red is better than Ash

But I won’t be pulling, I don’t want to just let them languish at the bottom of my pile

[mint zephyr]

I like red too but I like ash too because they’re like counterparts

[mint zephyr]

I have no one so I might be chilling

[crisp oracle]

I have a few favourites, everyone knows I like Diantha, ||but sometimes I’ll go after Gloria, Irida, or just a kit I like||

[rare swan]

(no need to spoiler that )

[crisp oracle]

Eh pulling is pulling

Also Tai have you used rats that often

[rare swan]

Never

[mint zephyr]

Ah

My favorites will never come sadly

[rare swan]

Didn't even use them on the Kanto EBE we've got running

[mint zephyr]

Dena has been known to screw me over

[rare swan]

I'll wheel them out for the Electric HS event but then I'll put them back in the cupboard

[rare swan]

you have literally no other favourites outside Ash/Pikachu?

[mint zephyr]

My threats talks don’t work against them

[mint zephyr]

I want a new Cynthia

But that won’t happen because I missed all the other Cynthia reruns

[crisp oracle]

I actually have fun struggling with this game

[rare swan]

I'm sure one will come eventually, she's overdue

[crisp oracle]

I don’t like pulling many dps dealers because I want to win with what I have

[mint zephyr]

And there’s red

But red is just copium cus no ash

I just want ash

[mint zephyr]

It is pretty fun doing that. My last 2 months before this anni was just using the free units because I refused to summon

It was fun

Having broken birbs is also fun but being able to have some gen pool to mess around with was great

[worldly knot]

Guys i pulled too much in this anni, i pulled leon dragapult and the kantrio, i still have some gems to pull both palmer and lyra but it would makes me anxious if I drain too much gems because afraid of next datamine would have even better pair,

For now im leaning to pull palmer but lyra seems so tempting as she can solo most LG, ugh i need to save my gems rip

Help me guys 🤧

[tough oriole]

Pulling for LG doesn’t make sense unless you plan to use literally every unit possible to get the highest streak you want

||Also if you tend to play ontype, you’re going to filter for a certain type while teambuilding, and you’re going to forget to use Palmer||

[worldly knot]

Ah i see, i mostly only do 10-12, because getting high streak seems too much fishing for me

I tend to do offtype so palmer is good for me lol

Hmm i see, i guess palmer would fit me more and no need to pull for lyra i guess

Thanks!

[tardy fiber]

If Palmer ||you wont ever have to worry for 1 team in CS because he will always be offtyping, so he can always do 1 type that you lack, i plan to use Palmer for Fairy or Poison weak cs that i still lack damage dealer faves||

[hard wave]

Do u like them? If not they arent rlly anything special

[worldly knot]

Yea i lack many on type because i prefer to pull unit with off type capability lol, so palmer would be good

[hard wave]

Petrel seems to be a decent poison striker but looker still works and there’s better options and may be better ones in the future
Ariana is basically kgrimsley and lucian w/o the attack debuffs
Proton just raises sp atk per hit and like evasiveness and stuff by 1, decent support but eh
Archer is clemont but w a bit of sync accel and speed/evasiveness debuffs

Oh VGio is good if u lack ground options ig, but rlly none of them r worth it if u dont like them due to their rates

[uneven pewter]

Proton at the very least has great flinching

[hard wave]

I was going to say he’s basically bp morty but bp morty buffs defenses

[tardy fiber]

VGio lack appeal for me, well because we got another strong ground giovanni that is easier to access and might have a higher percentage to get on rerun...ss Giovanni

[uneven pewter]

Well

I like rhydon and Giovanni

So any excuse to have more sand storm teams is a win for me

Vgio at least has the appeal he can off damage type with surf and icywind

As for ss giovanni my biggest gripe with him is he is pure damage and his sync isn’t that great

Albeit if you can give him ground zone and gauge he does well with Courtney

[tardy fiber]

Ssgio can off damage steel and poison

[cunning swan]

either one is a WIN

I LOVE their battle theme

[hard wave]

Yeah mine is 3/5 so

[tough oriole]

It’d be a loss if they had different themes, since I would skip them and not unlock them in the jukebox

[upbeat lotus]

[cunning swan]

sada/turo are must pulls for me

but please not any time soon, i need to recover

[tardy fiber]

I hope sada/turo are the ones that get the bike lizards...they afterall wear outfits designed after them

[cunning swan]

true

the MCs can get, uh, idk starters

or lechonk, i don't even care

[tardy fiber]

Sygna suit MCs with walking wake and iron leaves

[cunning swan]

that would require them to get in the game with their boring base outfits first

they might get the Victor treatment even!

[upbeat lotus]

or even worse, Nate treatment

[tardy fiber]

Selene Elio treatment

I still cannot believe Selena dont have any alts

She is a female protag, she will sell

This is all due to Lillie

[cunning swan]

[cunning swan]

the price you pay for living in the same region as Lillie

[hard wave]

They’ll join w dlc outfits trust

[tardy fiber]

Give 2 protags with 2/3 kitakami trio and give MC the final one for poison teamwork...MC Munkidori

[winged fossil]

almost immediately maxed out the stuff for from the event shop, just used 3* candies for dupes cause its not like i have any need to be stingy with them, all my 3stars are 3/5+

all im missing is the last batch of for her

[vernal glade]

Hopefully I should start saving stamina soon for the next story event.

[tardy fiber]

Yep NPC pairs are a good place to dump 3* candies but unfortunately they stopped doing it , still hopium that there's another NPC on next month's fall event

[light holly]

Just wondering if anyone could share some experience here - I pay for the game moderately (the candy and sync orb streak bundles primarily). I don’t necessarily want to collect everything but like to have access to at least 1/5 of OP units. Is this sufficient to go for 2-3 units per month? Or I’d have to put in more money/skip quite a few months

For example I got all the NC champs this month, but would really like Palmer and SS Serena (sitting on 16k gems)

[tardy fiber]

Well if both streak bundles, thats 10k paid every 20 days, so 14k paid plus minus a month...and usually a month will give on average 23-24k gems

So well you can at least got a pity a month

[light holly]

I see.. thanks a lot

Guess I can’t really expect to pull more than once a month

[tardy fiber]

Well those that pull multiple usually saved months before this, kinda why we focus on faves therefore you wont be wasting gems on pairs that you dont like

[tawny cedar]

I finally got my fave from this month

I'll be leaving this month with 12k saved

[tardy fiber]

I still need 1 more before i can save

Well i have 62k currently

[grim plover]

im at 57k

||hopefully palmer wont destroy me||

[broken mulch]

Happy with my luck this anniversary, got all my priorities and going into October with a pity to spare.

[unkempt vortex]

||he will||

[broken mulch]

Hopefully october is a skip

[unkempt vortex]

I wish celesa didn’t end early

Probably won’t get datamine before then

[grim plover]

my bet is spotlight malva first because of the zerena rerun

[broken mulch]

But they unfortunately has had the most drip for three years straight lol

Plz sucktoberfest

[unkempt vortex]

I might as well go for unova max atp

As long as nc isn’t next month

[uneven pewter]

Morgan freeman: They did not realize it yet…but they were about to experience the worst case October fomo ever.

[vestal leaf]

Currently 203k, ||Palmer next weekend tho||

[uneven bone]

My top priorities are Blue and Leaf

[tardy fiber]

Paldea spotlight on October because they want to start doing Paldea daily regional battle on November

[vestal leaf]

Didn't they wait like 4 months to implement galar rotation

Once we got 3 galar units

[upbeat lotus]

daily rotation didnt exist back then

it was added around May - June 2021

[vestal leaf]

Yeah which was 4 months after they introduced Marnie and Leon

We had Gloria already

No?

[tardy fiber]

Well Marnie and Leon aint spotlight

Need spotlight units for paldea ticket to be useful

For paldea daily region battle reward

[vestal leaf]

You guess they'd need to actually up a banner before anni?

I could see them giving tickets that do literally nothing

Until next anni

[tardy fiber]

Well they can release spotlight before anni, also they will be in general pool but paldea ticket for them only can be used after anniv in that case

[vestal leaf]

Oh I forgot about piers

Anyway, I think the BP rotation dropped the month after Nessa and, allister Bea were launched?

[upbeat lotus]

you also forgot about Nessa and Bea, who were released in April

[vestal leaf]

Man I miss when this game had a decent gen pool influx

[upbeat lotus]

Allister was October

[vestal leaf]

Mhhhh yeah allister was after, rigjt

Same month as Bede? Or was that another period again

[tawny cedar]

If i end this month with 12k,could I pity farty next month?

[vestal leaf]

Probably yes

[upbeat lotus]

Bede was release in June 2022

same month as SS Johtrio

[tawny cedar]

Let's go that's 1 rerun conqured

[tardy fiber]

Well rerun seasonal usually have 2 weeks duration iirc, and fall happened on mid month...hurm probably can, just hope that next month have 24k gem+ so that you can form pity

24.6k

[tawny cedar]

If it doesn't ik raging

[unkempt vortex]

With how this month went

[tawny cedar]

I'm sick of reruns

[unkempt vortex]

24k sounds like an eventuality

We already have less than 10k left this month

[tawny cedar]

Palmer slightly tempts me with the funny NZ

[tardy fiber]

Well hopefully we get the 3k gems from rally, so only 21.6k gems to worry about

[tawny cedar]

But if I see 24k in the datamines next month I can easily skip him

I'm accounting the 3k

So 12k gems saved at end with rally

[tardy fiber]

Kinda worry as the gems only posted on JP page and not English poma page

We only get shirt raffle

[tawny cedar]

If we don't get the gems i can say goodbye to farty

Highly doubt we'll get 27k gems next month

[unkempt vortex]

Poma recession

[tardy fiber]

Yep, month after anni usually dry

[tawny cedar]

Might skip Morty again

I don't even paid gems anymore for selecting him

[uneven pewter]

Preach

[uneven pewter]

I imagine october will have mostly spotlights

They usually use october as their dumping ground since it’s past october 15th

[uneven pewter]

These months have already been dry

I dunno maybe i am biased because of last year but like

Man they were stingy this year and hyper aggressive on the banners

[unkempt vortex]

How long before spotlight and pf paid banner

[lost bobcat]

Spotlights already get a paid banner, 7.5k for it

[sturdy flower]

wonder if spotlights will get EX Roles

some techs who are pseudo supports could use it even for the 40 def

[junior trout]

grimsley

[grim plover]

inb4 they give cheren tech role

[sturdy flower]

give him Field role

[gloomy holly]

What will his field be? Normal?

[sturdy flower]

normal

Mamoswine cameo! I wonder when we’ll get a Mamoswine pair in the game

https://tenor.com/view/piloswine-gif-26960859

[uneven pewter]

Maybe if pryce ever gets a bp pair

Tldr prayer harder next year

[deft glen]

That reminds me of when people "leaked" an image of NY Dawn with Mamoswine

[hard wave]

Thats what I thought of

[gloomy holly]

And I still remember people saying Eusine has water zone or whatever that was

[ashen thunder]

You mean

Variety pryce

[pure arrow]

Variety Mamoswine just might be my one fear

[tough oriole]

Make sure not to waste your stamina on part 4!

[robust plaza]

[fallen path]

oh yeah

i forgot about that

i only did part 4 for all my stamina today

[robust plaza]

Same

[pure arrow]

Now you tell me

[vernal glade]

rip my stamina saving

[nocturne spade]

Eh the difference is prob very small anyway

[past imp]

I wish DeNA wouldn't do that. they should just keep it straightforward where the hardest event gives best rewards

[tardy jolt]

I have been traveling and I have not checked Reddit or this chat all day, rip my stamina

[candid burrow]

Glad I checked the drop rate of part 3

[uneven pewter]

[uneven pewter]

Dena compensation please

[grim plover]

Here's 10 skip tickets for the bug

[uneven pewter]

[sturdy flower]

cant wait to see how many more regional tickets we get next month!

boy i sure love them as a reward! /s

[tardy fiber]

Darn i was doing part 4 because i thought i got the 3 highest multipliers for the event so part 4 might be the best

They dont even compensate me for wrong leaf lodge items currency

[crisp wraith]

Do we know when twitter rally gems are coming

[tardy fiber]

29th iirc

[upbeat lotus]

September 28 - 29 iirc

[tardy fiber]

So its in next datamine gem calcs

As this one is only till 28

[crisp wraith]

Thank you

[sturdy flower]

still waiting for them to be JP only

they didn't announce them for us

why would we get them

the new game director is clearly a nationalist, with this bad gem count

[uneven pewter]

To be fair

They are fantastic for newbies

I can’t be completely mad

Newbies are the lifeblood of gachas

The moment they start to dry up that is the sign the gacha is slowly dying

[sturdy flower]

Not false, as long as they don't replace gems/candies

[uneven pewter]

Well i agree on that front

[gloomy holly]

Even newbies can bring a downfall if they don't like the game's stuff

[tardy fiber]

Newbies are great now, they can do each VA story and get 5* from each region+legendary adventures pairs...starter kit for any daily region battle

Well except alola because solgaleo not alola

Well just strengthen hau

[gloomy holly]

And Lodgecerola

And Naomi

[tardy fiber]

Well naomi is time limited

[gloomy holly]

Better than nothing I suppose

[tardy fiber]

Just newbie after this event wont unlock her

So cannot put her in beginner starter guide

We'll get the free ticket today!

[ashen thunder]

That seems pretty early

Also support and strike coin

[tardy fiber]

Woohoo

[ashen thunder]

I can 3/5 my lySS and bulu tdy

[tardy fiber]

Hope to get ariana

[deft glen]

oh free rocket ~~ that's not gonna be ariana ~~

[ashen thunder]

I am praying for Ariana or proton

So a coin flip for me

[gloomy holly]

So it's 50/50 for you

[ashen thunder]

Tbf

As long as it's not archer

Ill be happy

But real win is those 2

[gloomy holly]

Ariana seems nice for ||poison high score event||

[ashen thunder]

Next HS is probs grass or psychic anyways
After electric

Coz F2P access

Other types are

[lean mango]

Patiently waiting for Poison HS

so Ariana would be nice

||It'd be compensation for me pitying her too ||

[gloomy holly]

I'm not honestly sure who I want among the rocket execs

[tardy fiber]

Getting second master ball badge for it Cris?

[fallen path]

i'm ok with any of the team rocket units

its out of my hands anyways, might as well have that mindset lol

[lean mango]

~~my first ~~

[dark cliff]

Regular Lysander or steampunk Lysander?

[exotic sparrow]

2 more hours for the free ticket

[upbeat lotus]

[ashen thunder]

30 mins till ticket

[winged fossil]

ready for #salt-channel to be full of people not liking what they get from the ticket

feel like id want ariana optimally but, after reading the kits, i think id honestly take any of them and be happy, even if some id use more than others

[vernal glade]

Eh, not gonna post on salt whoever I get is whoever I get. Just care about the free 10 gems.

[winged fossil]

i looked at their kits and i can find uses for all four of them even at 1/5. none are favs so either way i dont have to even look at the joke of a banner that it is.

[vernal glade]

So they gave us the ticket 8 minutes early, alrighty.

[winged fossil]

think my priority if i DID have to have a priority would be the two poisons > the bat > the dog, but its mostly cause debuff or piercing blows for the poison units. in a way im happy that we don't pick cause itd make the two poison a little tough to pick between

||well, i have a funny SMUN bat now lol.||
still prob never gonna feel like candying it

[tardy fiber]

10 gems incoming

What they gave ticket, let me login

[winged fossil]

yeah, they gave the tickit a few mins early

dang, speaking of the ticket and coins
19/20 on my 2nd gold candy

[vernal glade]

||Got the one with screech and acid, that’s ok. Least have a defense debuffer and a poison staller now|| Still saving candy.

[ashen thunder]

Garbage ticket lol

[tardy fiber]

||nice, i got my second wanted admin, archer ||

Wow the amount of move coins are not bad this month, i can form strike and support candy next month...formed tech and yellow this month

[tawny cedar]

||I got petrel from the ticket who i really like but where ariana go damnit||

Are the rocket admins counted as variety

[ashen thunder]

Yea

[tawny cedar]

Shit

[ashen thunder]

The 4 and gio are variety rate up

[tawny cedar]

Varieties haven't had a rerun yet right

[ashen thunder]

Well

I don't think most units that debut during variety banners even reran yet

[tardy fiber]

Give them some time, this anni is also the first time we get sc select

[ashen thunder]

Current banner is Uber bait

Shit rates

Cant wait to see em release pokefair admins

And add em to lodge

[tawny cedar]

I have slight fomo over ariana that's it

Ariana is a top 5 fave

[ashen thunder]

Still

[tawny cedar]

But I spent my pity on my top 3 fave

[ashen thunder]

Variety banner

No reason to promote variety banners by giving gems to those

[tawny cedar]

I haven't pulled variety banners at all cuz I also hate them

But ariana being in there is frustrating

[ashen thunder]

This is just a start

They'll release more units as variety to create fomo

[tardy fiber]

Well need to see your gems savings too, hard to get a particular 0.4% unit...unless you go to pity

[ashen thunder]

Don't have to dump gems there

Well , even if you have pity better not to use on variety

Else you'd just be promoting Dena to release more shit banners

0.4% on debut is evil

[tawny cedar]

Am I going to have to wait for a proper alt in order to get ariana

Damn

[tardy fiber]

I dont mind spending a pity if my fave becomes variety, but hard for legendary, mythical, UB to be in there...well unless ultra recon squad variety

Or chatelaines variety

[ashen thunder]

Well in the end it's your choice

I already hate the "anni"

[tawny cedar]

Well i know i definitely can't pity them

They don't even run into next month

[tardy fiber]

I thought you want farty next month

[upbeat lotus]

Farty 😭

[tardy fiber]

He is still better than lodge acerola

[lapis pine]

Farty and Homo my 2 fav units

[tawny cedar]

Yeah but ariana would have ranked higher

But she's not pitiable so I'm still going farty

[tardy fiber]

Good decision

Know your savings limit

[summer goblet]

The ticket scout is a scam

you don't get to pick

it pick for you

at least its free lol

[tardy fiber]

Well they already mentioned it before this that its not a select

[summer goblet]

i forgot about it

its been a long week

[tardy fiber]

They even made a video trailer about it's not being a select

[summer goblet]

wow rubbing salt into my wounds i see

are you proud to be have superior intellect Vantner

[maiden kayak]

my disappointment is immeasurable

that shit is scamma

[summer goblet]

agree

[latent salmon]

do not get your hopes up if you have a specific exec you want.

[maiden kayak]

||at least i didnt get petrel that would have been like worse insult||

[summer goblet]

i've kinda been out of the news loop lately

[latent salmon]

always assume you'll get the one you want the least, and you'll never be too disappointed with the free ticket

[summer goblet]

||as long as i get either Archer or Proton, its fine||

not that i care too much lol

[gloomy holly]

Nothing says free other than letting someone else choose what's free for you

[maiden kayak]

ngl

i feel like trading the unit out

[summer goblet]

noted

i shall remeber to not spend any banner that is less than 1%

unless i am going on some kind of sport betting in April

during playoff season

[gloomy holly]

I honestly didn't care about getting a random executive, but the fact that some people say that Ariana is the strongest poison sync nuker, well... it kinda makes me grateful in getting her

[summer goblet]

well you know what, any 4 will do

but I forgot what Pretral do again

[gloomy holly]

NVM, Petrel is striker with support EX role

[summer goblet]

ok more poison striker will do

i guess

[lost bobcat]

That's the spirit

[summer goblet]

not like i will ever use them in active battle

[gloomy holly]

That's how it is for me still

[summer goblet]

||except for Pronton||

i have a bigger prize to fish this month

[lost bobcat]

Yep, Imo rockets admins aren't that impactful, beside favs we got good stuff and Koga EX
Also is easy to be salty since those who wants A gets B and vice versa

[summer goblet]

true

[oak crest]

this is hilarious tho

altho the rally has "ended", the english side didnt say anything

[tardy fiber]

Kinda worried about previous twitter rally, hope we get the 3k gems and its not JP only

I forgot that paldea starters is next reset, my egg box is almost full

[summer goblet]

I’m not worried

I have enough gems to burn for my favs at 1/5

[tardy fiber]

Have high hopes to get shiny paldeas, especially when all 3 roles for all 3 starters can be shiny

[ashen thunder]

Paldea starters getting egg before every other starter that isn't kanto

[tardy fiber]

But im glad they are kinda nice, especially the supports

Usually weather or terrain support aint free

[lapis pine]

Yeah the grassy terrain for free is especially cool imo

I’ll honestly use all 3 supports in CS a decent bit

[tardy fiber]

I need to check their full kit, iirc zinfogel doesn't put all of them at low tier

Oh strike fuecoco is kinda mid, it got double down...but hard to find a reason to sync with an eggmon

[oak crest]

@tardy fiber check with ya, you normally use SSRC together with SSKorrina for ghost zone?

i cant even defeat Wikstrom without ghost zone

[grim plover]

I defeated wikstrom with Victrier and Morty

[oak crest]

i had to use Victor in the end lol for ghost zone

if not i cant even win using SSKorrina

☠️

[grim plover]

But before that alister helped me

[oak crest]

was wondering if i did smth wrong

i even used the enemy buff up params to get an easy buff up on her using spectral thief

[grim plover]

Is your korrina 3/5?

[oak crest]

yea

just not EX'd yet

without ghost zone I think I saw like only 15k dmg... and that's with rising tide grid

and with a EX support syncing once alrd

[grim plover]

Hm even without 6ex that sound be enough. Maybe you're using the wrong params

[tardy fiber]

Used to, now i use sskorrina with victrier

[lost bobcat]

Mid for an eggmon, which is trash compared to any sync pair
That's why good eggs are just tech or supps
Only Gyarados can pull some dmg
Even if some looks good missing grid is a huge factor for stats and multipliers

[oak crest]

odd thing is that I can see spectral thief doing up to 7k dmg, but yet the nuke only hit that much

[tardy fiber]

Yep, better they change double down 2 to cs2

The nuke dmg drops a lot if the enemy even have 1 buff

[oak crest]

if gradual healing counts as a buff

then maybe it explains

[tardy fiber]

But i usually not sync with sskorrina...i took advantage of her better prepared, i use victrier sync instead now

[lost bobcat]

Stats raised, not buffs

[oak crest]

then yea, no stats raised

[vestal leaf]

Me, using Phys resistance+8 to have tbolt red enable strike raichu:

[vestal leaf]

Wikstrom has a LOT of base bulk

[oak crest]

even on sword forme?

cos that was the dmg done on him when he is at sword forme

[vestal leaf]

Base 28k hp

Almost 29

That's more than any other stage this week

[oak crest]

idk, but im only hitting him with like 15k-ish dmg without zone with nuke

which is pretty low for a on-type

that was with support EX as well

[vestal leaf]

#1009554906568462476 might help you, because that sounds like a param issue

[gloomy holly]

||Ok, let's see if I have the luck to clutch up Lyrabi and CLeaf soon to go back to zen mode||

[oak crest]

nah im fine, alrd beat it, had to resort to Victor for ghost zone in the end

i was just wondering what went wrong cos i didn't expect SSKorrina to perform badly on an on-type at 3/5

[vestal leaf]

I mean those numbers are sameish as my renegade 2/5 with 1 Ghost rebuff

Because I do 3k points 2v3

[oak crest]

problem is i was doing a regular 3v3

and only 2.5k pts

[vestal leaf]

Yeah but tbh korrinna base damage ain't that insane from what I remember

She's strong but nothing busted

[oak crest]

no idea what i did wrong but she was actually struggling without zone before i decided to throw Victor in for zone

even def debuffs aint enough to 1-shot

i even had the +buffs params on for the enemy side for easy rising tide setup but she just aint cutting it

[gloomy holly]

||Actually, know what, forget about Lyrabi, I'm going all in for the NC Kantrio||

[dark cliff]

Statistically, even tho it’s not a guarantee as to who you want, you have a 25% chance of getting them versus like 12.5 1% chances of getting a master fair ordinarily

Not terrible odds for 5*

[winged fossil]

My main gripe with victor is no ghost zone extension to really make the entry shine

How I see it is if entry is the main way to set a terrain effect presync you basically need extension for it to really be impactful.

If extensions for the sync types terrain effect were standard for field units then I’d be a lot more happy with the role

[uneven pewter]

Yea i agree that victor sorely needed an extension along with his entry. Even on grid everything he has is sorely lacking to really make him even half decent. Just feels like he’ll be sidelined unless absolutely needed

[winged fossil]

I mean I’m still happy with the completely free ex. 5/5. Woulda been more pissed if it was a gacha unit but, I still think even with him being weaker for being a free unit, extensions should be standardized across the role since setting up terrain is that roles job now.

It’s pointless if it doesn’t last to the next sync imo

Literally if he had extension I’d use him on my Lillie team to have zone for the strike sync without either needing to also fit in ssrc or roll the sc Lillie slot machine

(Please dena give sc Lillie field ex role I beg you~)

[uneven pewter]

Tbh field role should have extension by default for zone and weather

[sand crown]

I'm actually more pressed at the free Victor not even getting a color swap

Red on purple? That's fashion salt

[hard wave]

Ik its like…. What? 46 pairs but unique EX colors for the units w/o a new outfit wouldve been nice idr want to EX any bcz of it, and bluecanine got one

[sand crown]

I probably would not have EX'd him had it not been so essential to the unit's performance

[hard wave]

Victor? I did it cuz its free

I just have other units I want to EX so why would I prioritize ones that dont even get a new color

Oh yeah and SSR Cynthia is one of the first units I made 3/5 so

[sand crown]

Unless there's a reason why the team can't spend time on that like I just find it lazy that so many lodge units etc don't have a swap

[tardy fiber]

His sync is boosted with ghost zone though, it refreshes ghost zone before dealing the sync damage...just have problem, if you want ghost zone but not sync with him but instead sync with others, in that case its better to use ssrcynthia instead

Field is still nice for me, sprint role is more confusing...i think it only shines in long fights so like gauntlet or high strength params high score event.

Seems like DeNa is giving new sprint pairs team buffs, both archer and paulo having team buffs

[grim plover]

tbh i just tried victrier + morty and it was really easy. Victor almost one shotted mid with his max move after sync. And even if you're supposed to sync the second time with a striker it wasnt necessary in my case

[tardy fiber]

I like to use him with sskorrina, no buffs for you guys

Sskorrina spectral thief does help to remove any unwanted buffs on enemies before victrier sync, thus he can activate its multiplier

Plus victrier having max move does help too, i use it after he syncs

Big damage and the ghost zone after sync has extension so even easier to manage

[grim plover]

yeah, i'd say victor is the best free option for ghost

[unique ivy]

||Just wondering will we be getting enough gems for a free scout point anni?||

[sturdy flower]

No

[flat schooner]

From today until <t:1696053601:d> you can get up to 9660 .
For more information check /events and /banners!

[crisp oracle]

Depends. Are you already deep into a banner? And how many gems do you have

[unique ivy]

Like 229 and I’m buying another 4K in October and I have zero gems

[crisp oracle]

Lemme see

[unique ivy]

Next year I will learn my lesson and save all year for anniversary

[torpid prawn]

To reach pity, you'll need to spend 15,000 gems on 5 Multis Scouts to reach 394 scout points.
You'll then need an additional 6 scout points.
100 Paid-Only Gems Daily Discount Scout gives 1 Scout Point.
300 Gems Single Scout gives 3 Scout Points.

[crisp oracle]

Nope

[unique ivy]

F

[crisp oracle]

I don't think it's happening unless you shell out the cash

And more than 4K

[unique ivy]

Can’t cause of you know

Events come in clutch

Along with masters day

[crisp oracle]

||well I tried to warn you a month back not to yolo...||

[unique ivy]

Yeah and I regret it severely

Ik knew these consequences too

I just want red

[sturdy flower]

@unique ivy you will likely make it but it will be VERY close

[unique ivy]

Pig

Pog

[sturdy flower]

he ends on 7th, we will likely get one more event and some stuff next month at the beginning

[crisp oracle]

9.6K + 4K you plan to buy is 13.6K

Barely, if you can't get him by the time he leaves just swallow the gems and hold onto them

[sturdy flower]

we only have info till 28th

[crisp oracle]

Don't pull as you get, keep saving until he leaves

[sturdy flower]

and it doesn't include the JP 3k gems we might or might not (im sceptical) get

like, not giving these gems to us is a total footgun but I can see DeNa fire it

[unique ivy]

They need to give us a free 3k or I’m suing

All the time for Maxie and Archie but no 3k for 4th anni cant believe it DNA

[crisp oracle]

Well, DeNa is DeNa

But now I hope you see the cascade effect of a yolo

What you yolo on now can hurt you down the line

[unique ivy]

Yep after anni I’m going to start saving for next anni or any other sync pairs I want

[tardy fiber]

Did you already count the twitter rally 3k gems, if we get it, it will be on 29th but and first new event might also happen on late sept

[sturdy flower]

first event will 100% happen before 7th

[tardy fiber]

So might be achievable i think

Its been a while since im in similar position, i remembered getting zerena via pity, 2 days before her banner ends

Calculated all gems sources during that time

[sturdy flower]

it should be achievable, yeah

barely

but it does include the 4k paid he mentioned most likely

[winged fossil]

ngl i didnt even realize that the ex effect had innate extend 5.

[tardy fiber]

Yep it is nice, can beat gauntlet with its extended duration, although for more safety might can use support sync first and then field sync

[tardy fiber]

Finally can get the timegated 500 gems next reset from co-op event

[uneven pewter]

Literally feels like we’re scraping for gems this month

[sand crown]

Feels like every month these days

[uneven pewter]

https://www.engadget.com/nintendo-is-sunsetting-mario-kart-tour-next-month-170533206.html

Hmm

That’s surprising

Like i am genuinely shocked

[unkempt vortex]

about what

that its not going eos or that its going the x dive route

[mint zephyr]

Rip poma ig

[sand crown]

Inevitable imo. Burning through the limited stuff like they have been feels like the beginning of a slow decline.

[mint zephyr]

And I just bought the $1 gem thing for anni😔

Rip $1

[uneven pewter]

It’s going the xdive route “for now”

Tbh i am legit surprised this got the xdive treatment but not dr mario world

Same with dragalia lost

It might be a new strategy they are playing with

But i was mostly surprised because mario kart tour was still profitable

At least from the data we can see

[maiden kayak]

what does xdive route mean

lol

2nd last stage before eos?

[grim plover]

Tbh it's more like nintendo hates mobile games. And a friend told me that MKT it's kinda tied to MK8 so it could be that they're preparing for a new MK

[maiden kayak]

more like they entered the game late

[unkempt vortex]

Mega man x dive was a gacha game that went offline everything included limited units is available at any time

And no new units or events are being released

[maiden kayak]

oh

[bleak falcon]

Well, collab units aren’t available on X Dive Offline, iirc

[tardy fiber]

If eos ever happen, i hope we go offline route. I would like to see my achievements, and just like mentioned that limited units will be available at any time, i guess i can slowly add more pairs to my roster over time
