#Min-maxing doll upgrade
1 messages · Page 4 of 1
I mean, I did this one always
So far I’ve done the following:
Start with R0 doll.
- purples until R5
- purples until R10
- gold to R15
Upgrade to SR5 doll.
- blues > purples until SR6.
- golds until SR10.
- blues > purples until SR11.
- golds until SR15.
But Laplace took me till SR 14
A lot of people surprisingly and unknowingly do Route 1.
Because they keep upgrading to SR 5.
For everyone.
And thus they are out of blues to even use blues for SR 10.
It takes like 335 blues on average from SR 5 to 10.
But from R 0 to SR 5 it's only 182.1/228 depending on whether it's from R doll or directly.
So what is the best route 
To be fair,
Second route.
The one that I'm doing, but I'm not lucky at all xD
How many blues does it take? You said 182 for R0 to R15, but what about after upgrading to SR5 and trying to blue to SR10?
Oh you answered already

182 + 335 = 517 blues in total
- Treasure units that you want to build always go first in priority.
- Primary units should be queued for SR 15: Red Hood, Alice, SBS.
- Everyone else is either SR 0 instantly to save blue mats or SR 5 if you want to play with your resources (in my maths, you can do this once every 2.11 months). But, to be fair, only the likes of Asuka are worth SR 5 in this sense.
I'm gonna stop rerolling dispatch more than 3 times, is not helping at all
What? Didn’t you calculate it saves blue mats to go R15 first then upgrade to SR5?
Yes.
But instant SR is better.
If you don't plan to upgrade it.
Aka give SR and ditch.
Oh so if just wanting to slap a boost on a character
Okay, that answered my other lazy question
So you have to decide.
👍
Aka pvp units, instant SR
Yeah, seems reasonable.
One second as I go distribute my 5 RL SR0 dolls

I’m waiting for Champion Arena before acting on that
The whale arena
My plan is:
- Super meta units deserve SR 15.
- Treasure units that are super meta deserve SR 15.
- Good units who scale well deserve SR 5 (Asuka, Scarlet, SAnis, BunnySoda, PrivM, Ein).
- MGs get instant SR 0 because who the fuck needs Max Ammo?
Hmm...
Maybe Alice to 15 is the best for me rn.
For Raid.
@regal sphinx One specific thing to mention. In terms of economy, second route is less efficient.
If u r aiming at +top 200 yeah, Alice Sr 15 and asuka Sr 5
You trade efficiency
for 1 more SR 15.
Whether that is a good thing.
That depends on you.
Or you can do a mix of both.
If you are unsure, first route is safest.
Because you can, well, wait for some months, then second route will eventually be possible.
I don't expect them to release OP treasure units.
But if they do,
We are totally fucked for real.
That is why I am scared of pushing Alice to SR 15.
Well anomaly changed the priority for most players
Then: imma built viper or Laplace they seems good units
Now: fuck i need Alice and Rh to reach stage 7
Because I can't stay in kraken forever

Makes sense... Asuka tho?
Maxwell?
SW?
Low value SR 15s?
Rh+snow if you aim stage 9
Rh+Maxwell to stage 7 comfy
Maxwell Sr 5 enough
Rh 15 comfy
I mean, fuck is something that everyone is doing every day, we have to work in the best comfy comp xD
Well comfy didn't exist, you need good ele lines on them
But Maxwell is fast charging and buffing rh
I saw stage 7 with good Rh and maxwell
Stage 9 only Rh+snow or snow alone hyper buffed black ele lines

Too much offtopic
Which one to burn first, purple or gold?
You know whats funny
Every 2.11 months, on average, you get just barely enough purple and gold to get to SR 15 from 10. Solo color.
Literally no buffer.
For either color.
Lmao.
I always do 10 gold, 20 purple, 50 blue pattern for SR dolls
Wdym
Ah burn evrything to appease rngesus then
Essentially always increasing by 1000 exp
Ah you use the padding technique
10 gold to cope for high %
Its actually not efficient above SR 5
20 purple to save gold while coping more
You can technically use blues on SR 10 to 15
To save even more gold
But you will get imbalance
My approach relies on super successes
Honestly the best balance for the amount of Purple:Gold in your inventory is 2.5:1.
But it's optimized to abuse them
If yours is at 2.5:1, you are safe.
Yeah thats what someone else I know does
But you might be the lucky few
To even get 8 SR 15
Are your maths considering only solo raid boxes or dispatch too?
But so much of the system is RNG that ultimately one has to go with what they're given
The best approach is to obviously just to use 30 blue to trigger 3 successive super success from SR 0 -> 15
Let’s see… for me:
Treasure: Laplace, Frima, Exia, Diesel.
SRX: Nobody.
R15: 1.
And I have left…
16 gold
58 purple
482 blue.
I don’t see getting 4 more units to SR15 
I reset dispatches, yeah
Question for kisenix
Ahh
I use Akusetsu's math
Oh
For "mt kits per month"
He said no rerolls
Well youre destined to reroll every once a few days
Depending on the look of the 10 dispatches
And also the dolls
Because there are people with all treasures and a lot of SR 15
Are they rerolling till X2 golden boxes?
I guess yes

My technique is:
- If ≥3 Dolls are bad, and Open Slots == 5, consider resetting.
- If Open Slots ≥6, reset.
Everyday is at least x6 gold boxes if you ditch the final dispatch
10 days = 60 gold
Yeah, your gems will burn.
Holy gems
Not ideal.
Well there are people who don't care about gems
And I bet this guy is full time whale.

Well Texas boy is 409 and he started 6 months after me, now he has all treasures xD
Like I definitely won't be core maxing all NGE units without using mileage

Might just leave Mari at MLB to save mileage for potential double Pilgrim at anniversary
Double Pilgrim 
But getting back on topic, I don't super refresh
I personally haven't bought the maintenance kits packs when they sold it
I'll take 40 boxes, 60 boxes, any gold boxes, any gold kits, and triple purple kits
I have 
Maybe I should have bought one of them

I bought my monthly gems pack

The one with 3300 gems
3.6 lv 15 sr dolls so far with dispatch reset how am i doing?
Since you spent kits on an SMG doll, I’d say you are bricked
I only upgraded it because it was my first sr doll and i didnt have any other choice
Texas boy is a mega whale
you couldve just…. saved the exp
💀
which kit do I use to level SR 0?
blue
with 3.6% success rate? 
if you dont use blue here you'll never use blue anywhere
blue gave me frima sr15

I got RH 15 and Laplace 15 with blue
For R dolls 
For that Nikke 
rule 2 looks crazy enough 
Per month u get 23 golds + 63 purples on average
No dispatch rerolls
And gambaing R dolls likely will give u extra purple mats
Making it 23 + 103, 33 + 83, or 43 + 63.
This strategy however still leaves around 40-50 blues available per month
Which is a safe measure/padding
335.7 blues
Average Values for This Strategy
To see if you are lucky or not.
R 0 -> 15: ~180 blues on average.
SR 0 -> 5: ~223 blues on average.
SR 5 -> 10: ~336 blues on average.
SR 10 -> 15: ~20 golds + 80 purples (103.7%)
1 gold to start phase, then feed 4 purples to level phase if unlucky all the way? And repeat until you’re at phase 14 while 1 purple away from leveling to phase 15, cursing the bad luck? 
Basically the overall plan, and just feed blues before SR10
And never go past SR0 if don’t want SR15 doll on that unit
And never use R0 if you just want SR0 for that unit
Easy enough to remember, thanks for the calculations and the effort ❤️
**This is outdated unless you simply prefer it more, because dispatch strategies have evolved, and people can get more kits than never rerolling.
New doll upgrading strategy can be found at #1247084307332464670 message, this strategy was first shared elsewhere by at least Tsukino and Kisenix.**
~~Allegedly most efficient doll leveling strategy:
- Credit to Kisenix for sharing this.
- Based on no-rerolls dispatch!
- SR0 for units that you don’t want to level to SR15.
- R0 for units you want to level to SR15 .
- Only blue kits to level R0 to SR10 .
- 10 gold kits + 40 purple kits leveling SR10 to SR15, per phase.
Average Values for This Strategy
To see if you are lucky or not.
R 0 -> 15: ~180 blues on average.
(skip if did R0->R15 and exchanged to SR5) SR 0 -> 5: ~223 blues on average.
SR 5 -> 10: ~336 blues on average.
SR 10 -> 15: ~20 golds + 80 purples (103.7%)~~
Better

remind me again, 180 blues here means 180 attempts (1800 kits)? or 18 attempt? (I wish
)
18 attempts, it's impossible to spend 1 800 kits to R0 -> 15 even if you're the unluckiest guy in the world, since every 5 try / 50 kits your doll will gain one level 
That being said SR 5 -> 10 seems the most nightmarish with this strat', it's gambling at its finest 
Then this one:
SR 10 -> 15 ~golds +8 purples
Means use gold 2 times, then purple all the way to max?
Damn I need to practice patience looking at spare purple and not use it on SR 5~10
You have your units mixed up. You're either suggesting that you need 180 attempts to get to R15, or that you can somehow spend less than 10 gold/purple kits per attempt to get to SR15
think last part is supposed to be 20 gold and 80 purple average
Rolling dice also gives an average of 3.5
It’s just an average used to finish. Kisenix’s said before that you’re supposed to use 10 gold and 40 purple per level in this part
The implication here is that if you have average luck, you’ll go through phase 10 without a super
So during phase 11, after another round of that set of kits, you’d hit super if your luck was average. You could need a lot more if unlucky, or a lot less if lucky
The averages he gave are a nice way to estimate potential consumption
But in reality the same could be done with pulls, yet despite that you’ll have heard horror stories or encountered them, as well as lucky stories. So pray everytime 
Thanks, realized they were written as 2 and 8, they’re fixed now to 20 and 80
ah okay, now I understand.
And I feel so stupid after reading that and that one akusetsu posted.
I was only look for % number and not exp needed. So I might in the process of leveling up the dolls, used a gold when I just need purple for the level up (assuming the extra xp is no carried over)
Yep they’re not
That’s why 10 gold (1,000 exp) and 40 purples (2,000 exp, each one is 500 so 500 * 4), these add up to 3,000 for a SR doll’s phase levelup.
I know that each phase from SR1->SR14 require 3,000 exp (SR15 is max so no more exp needed). I vaguely think that it’s the same for SR5->SR10. But no clue if it’s still the same for SR0->SR5.
I’ve read it before but forgot now 
all R levels are 1k exp and all SR levels are 3k
I wonder if it is worth taking the 40 doll mileages in dispatch so I can get more dolls for doll combination in order to get kits?
I don't think Maxed the R doll first then change to SR Doll was a good idea... Just Waste your Maintenance Boxes
let's see
20% chance to up R 0 => 15
so 150 blue kits avg
2.2% chance to up SR 0 => SR 5
450 blue kits avg

yeah kinda wasted, wasted your sanity lol
I love when people use their luck as a serious counter point 
Bro is flexing his luck
Mf here just to flex
I pulled 7 Pilgrims in the time it took to MLB Mari. I guess Pilgrim rates are higher than rate up 
Is it possible to get access to this spreadsheet?
i use SR doll directly on my alt acc
because i know alt acc has better luck than main acc

should I try the 15% today or wait till I am lvl 11?
If I had just 10 gold and nothing else, and it was between 15% or waiting, I’d wait
Because, frankly, if we changed it to 15% you live, 85% you die, you’d never go for it 
No point burning the last 10 gold if you can’t followup
I only have Viper's left and still in phase 1
Same. I only have Viper left, but didn’t give her a doll yet
I have the mats to try it though
I should have listened to you 
how many sr15 dolls do you have?
Purples? Just treasures but Viper only
And I only fattened up one blue doll on Scarlet: Black Shadow
Basically hoarding I guess, I don’t need to leverage dolls yet
Let’s see
3 purple doll selectors
I have crown, rh, viper, laplace, diesel and liter at 15, sbs at 11 and exia at 10
2 RLs, 3 SGs, 1 SMG, 1 Sniper purple dolls, still waiting to be handed out to waifus
and a few blue dolls on others like summer sakura, naga, dkw, ein and alice
And these kits left
I am jealous
I kinda don’t want to be forced into burning them on Viper so I’m just waiting to see if I must
Otherwise Viper waits in case other new treasures come January are better 
I want to finish exia and sbs and then I will also go back to hoarding
I hope they add the next item to the old random box, I have over 110 of those already so I could get a head start
Speaking of OCD, that T9M recycler is a pain
If you don’t want to recycle right now, you’re forever trapped with the red dot
its not a pain, its a scam
amateur
Bought twice. Got two pilgrim def pieces. Pretend they don’t exist afterwards.
extreme scam
Pretty much. Should've made it by role and not manufacturer
The first time i used it i got pilgrim attack arm but afterwards it just regurgitated what i put in not buying anymore
Waste of arena currency and gear exp 
nah id win
I'd probably be fine to use some of my T9M gear as exp, but I refuse
Similarly, I refuse to merge dolls until I have every Nikke fitted with one and spares to prepare for incoming 

By role means you have even less chance to get the piece that you want
But more likely to get something that's actually helpful
Actually you are touching the border
Attacker and Supporter gear is generally useful
on pilgrim gears I mean
For Attackers maybe
ye


the power of the big wallet
XD
Anyway, maybe you could try stage 7 with quency+phantom
I am also always buying them but I spent them all on rh and sbs since I started playing 
How do those selector boxes even work. Is there a small factory inside it that builds your t9 equip and blows itself up afterwards? I dont get it
Sir this is a video game
T9M gear is goddessium. Nikke are made of goddessium. According to Rapunzel in Red Ash, the healer Nikke atomically rebuild it while they're all getting shot. So whatever the forge is doing is close to that. There's your lore reasoning.
I got to SR level 13 with exia yesterday.
Already a month, Did you burned?
Nope
Ended up not needing to use anybody's treasure in Solo Raid
i love failing the 40% then failing the 60%...
sick game
at this point do i just use an yellow kit to just 15 it lmfao
I burned kits, I'm more of a collector so.. I succumbed to completing Viper's treasure and also finished Helm's and Drake's dolls
Now Miranda and Milk remain~~, holding off on them for now~~
Hi so i just follow this?
no update at all? @regal sphinx
I have terrible luck, i only have 3 full lv SR15 now
laplace, exia & viper 💀 the highest outside of them is cinderella at SR12
It's outdated
While that one is valid, the focus is on basically using up the monthly income of kits I think
While a new strategy that got more traction (at least, I like it more) is simply:
Use blues on R0 dolls all the way to R15, nothing else
Use blues or purples on SR5->SR6, which to use depends on what you have too many of (save some blues for levelling more R0 dolls in the future, for example)
Use golds on SR6+ -> SR10
Use blues or purples on SR10->SR11, same idea as earlier
Use golds on SR11+ -> SR15
I've used both strategies before
It's still luck dependent, very RNG, but the above strategy feels more intelligent
thank you
Thanks for reminding me about this post. I've edited it to mention that it's outdated
This is wrong.
Why is this thread revived
What's wrong?
If the whole thing's wrong, I can strikethrough it all or something
If the disclaimer I added is wrong, I'm confused about what part of it is 
Went with striking everything
is there something about going wide or tall? currently i have it mixed?
2x treasures (lap, helm)
4x sr 15 (sbs,rh, rapipi, cindy)
24x sr5
1 x sr0
wide and tall as in going having lots of sr5s or a few sr15s
its good if you're not aiming for treasures
if you're comfortable going through campaign hard slowly sure
aside from treasure, imo the biggest draw of sr15 is to cp pad units so you can try hard campaign stages earlier
the other reason for cp padding is pvp
pad by snorting more core dust is the only way you're defending your rank anyway
On average how many solo raids should it take get SR 15 on one doll
It's possible to get SR15 doll from about 300 blues, 60 purples, and 20 gold. This isn't an exact estimate, more of intuition since I find myself either getting lower or slightly higher than this when I did all of the new treasures (yep, even got Milk's)
There were also people with even worse RNG luck and use up 60+ gold, etc
So... what does a Solo Raid give by way of maintenance kits?
SR LV4 = RNG'd 9 blue kits
SR LV5 = RNG'd 15 blue kits (and sniper SR doll, yes!!)
SR LV6 = RNG'd 15 blue kits (and shotgun SR doll)
Oh, nevermind what I was saying, I can just screenshot the Reward Info
Day 1: 9 purple boxes
Day 2: 3 purple box and 6 gold boxes (that's today)
Day 3: 9 gold boxes
Day 4: 9 gold boxes
Day 5: 9 gold boxes
Day 6: 9 gold boxes
Day 7: 9 gold boxes
Are there 7 days of Solo Raid?
12 purple boxes and 51 gold boxes in total.
Worst rewards: 3 blues per purple box, 5 blues per gold box. 36 blues from purple boxes, 255 blues from gold boxes.
Total of 291 blues from one Solo Raid if never lucky.
Sounds like you'd need two Solo Raids to get enough materials to SR15 one doll, unless you're cursed. Then you'd need at least three Solo Raids.
Add dispatches to this and you'd possibly have enough in a single month. Two if cursed
