Hmm.

Well I gotta kill me some dragons first, really. One more blue scale and I'm set to star 3 tiny idol soon.

Also, what's the general consensus on manly fisherman? I've been using him a lot, but I'm not sure if I should sink 3 of my remaining 9 contracts into him.

Honestly I've already dropped him to the backline (for R Feather, who actually has a nuke to synergize with J.J and builds up to doing some nice damage) unless I find I need a cover skill. Wish either his DA buff on his 2nd wasn't so bad or that his cover-counter didn't eat 30% ougi meter.

For reference, my teams so far:

(Note: Dark team realllly wants an Odin to pop up)



Earth is pretty much my best element right now (which makes it kinda sting that my water team is pretty garbage right now) with Light and Wind not far behind. Wind probably gets a good jump if I get a Tiamat Magna summon, though.

MANLY is pretty situational. I usually put him in the 3rd slot to make use of his counter skill. Even then, I really only use it when he has a lot more gauge than the others or if it results in him with 70% gauge before a full chain and the boss is not about to use a special. He does some pretty nice damage on dark once he's gained enough stacks, and seems to do double/triple attacks quite often. Other than that, there may be better options like straight out damage reduction.

Yeah that sounds about what I've come to in the end.

A shame, I really enjoy watching his + version ougi. 60 is enough for him to do a lot of work at the moment anyway.

...meanwhile I think I'ma just stick to beating cocytus and vohlu for daily pots and start making main story line progress. I can go back for the SSR weapons on the last day or so, but I really need to do main story and fate episodes...

Mini event just now. You can get chocolates from your female members! Go to their character profile and click on the heart right next to their portrait. Couple of things to keep in mind: you must be Gran while doing this, not all the girls will have a heart in their portrait. If you're playing as Djeeta, you can give choco to the guys at 200 rupee a pop.

Remember, this is just for fun.

Also, I acquired a maid when I finished the panel quests.

I have no idea. Maybe you do if you're Gran, but you can switch your gender in the profile, you know?

Also, which maid? There are two.

...she's a scary one. Have you seen her intro Fate?

Usability, she's there for her master and only her master. If your main is knocked out in battle, her usefulness drops a lot. I honestly am not sure what to do with her.

Strangely, fate episodes aren't recorded in Ruria's notes at all. Also yeah, that's a really odd quirk then.

btw, the chocolates you get from the girls can be used to level up stuff. Also I gave J.J chocolate expecting rapping. No rapping sadly but a nice OH MY GODDO MAN (with some more engrish afterwards).

Also, spamming tia magna has finally awarded me with her summon.



Yeah, that's about 10k more than what I do at Cocytus, although there doesn't seem to be a nice Atk up earth summon and the rest of the team doesn't ougi as hard as not!Suika/Eugen/potential Break Assassin ougi. HP is an issue though although I do have an SSR axe that I just need to get to level 50 to be viable.

(That new character that Ruka already posted came off the single you can buy from the co-op shop. Still doesn't have her Break Lock just yet though)

So that's that for the summon farming, for now. If you still have mats to trade in (like for 1/2 AP pots), third tab in the crafting section of the shop. Got Cocytus summon, lb1 Diabolos (from a last-minute flip), and three earth guns. Spent a lot of time instead doing half AP Hard raids, which has left me with quite a boost to the wind and earth pools of mine and with all of the crystals from hosting magnas claimed.

Also, event rerun



Event looks to be like MANLY FISHING (fight raids, gain points and gacha tickets) but Water-based so bring out the Earth team. Probably don't need anything too out of the ordinary (maybe a veil/clear if you take his standard ougi since it has a nasty DoT), but his OD ougi can be very devastating if it focuses one party member. The event unit's a fairly standard earth tank: he's got a cover and his third skill gives him an attack and defense buff to use with the cover. The SSR Spear and SR Axe are both attack passives, and the summon is really useful when mlb for its active: small Atk/Def down on the enemy team, and small Atk/Def up for your team.

Blue crystal fight doesn't look to be too hard once you know the triggers, just have to defend against them and then chain ougi past the third if Kat's damage cut isn't ready yet.

4 star mlb means a lot of ground work if you missed run the first though, sadly :v

Regarding 4 star MLB, I wonder if they're all the same. I got the earth gun to 3* then suddenly all the mats needed to get it to 4* looked like a grind.

Edit: Just read an interesting post regarding limit breaking and damage.

http://gbf-english.proboards.com/thread/783/limit-breaking-weapons-summons

May have to try this approach and see how that fares.

Yeah there's a reason I didn't slap all of my earth guns together right away:



That's three slots that still need Earth Attack weapons (and then one for baha weapon, just hoping for a horn right now and either two rusty daggers or a good Earth Doraf), and even then fists are so low on attack that I don't feel comfortable swapping a LB0 fist with a filler. I'm not going to start LBing guns until all of those slots get filled.

Also from what I've heard lb4 weapons require rank 100+ or breaking a lot of gacha weapons for the materials so yeah.

So yeah, things are crazy. We're currently in 1/2 AP Story, 1/2 AP Co-op, and Magnafest (1/2 AP/BP Normal, Hard, and Magna raids), alongside of 300 crystals daily. Hopefully I can get my earth pool into "full Magna and Earth SSR" mode. At 1 Sword 1 Staff 1 Fist 3 Vohu Guns and I'm almost able to buy another sword from the magna point shop so that'll be 7 slots and I have at least one Ygg Magna to do tonight during AT.
