    Not maintenance but it is bugging out for me too. More server issues with the new version.

    Man, I got another Muramasa thanks to Spitfire as well. And I was flying up the ranks on Arena. I was probably warrior or amateur last week when I first posted and I am now a brawler and about to head to Heavyweight with the help with Muramasa. But now there is a bug, and for some reason, I think it's just me and my arena points won't refresh, been on 0 arena points for 10 hours :( I even managed to beat a few heavyweights and gain 200 points per win, soooo close, why they gotta take that away from me.

    - Luc

    You force closed to avoid a loss too many times. Your points won't refresh for either some number of hours or till you level.

    I didn't force close, the game crashed on me 3 times in a row when I was trying to Arena within an hour period, did a quest between the 2nd and 3rd try.

    But anyway, I used the free gems and used the ones I saved up and got 1 dryad, 1 undine and another dryad. FYI, I already got screwed before and already had an undine. So I went AWOL, formatted my iPhone and recreated a new account.

    I didn't notice the bug KITA found, because PA was down for me for the past few days for whatever reason, but that must be why I had the extra gems and managed to summon 2 Lord Lady Kikkuri and 1 Anima Scythe Alice in a row. Long story short, my new account in 3 days is already stronger than my 1 month main account.

    In other words, please add me or accept my invite :) You can delete my main, now old and will be abandoned account.

    Damn, I just started this the other day and now it's not working. Ah well, maintenance and all that. No worries.

    So far I've beat the first world with the help of the first rare summon I got, Necromancer Lemia. Of course the next one I got was Regular Lemia. But the fourth time I got another rare, but I don't remember her name right now. Still, fun game.

    Only thing they are useful for is eventually getting a starter. I've pulled a Selena and Lance from there. Hoping I can someday get the light and dark starter.

    Evolution materials, a shot at Jewel/Metal gods and a starters say otherwise. The odds are crap, but there's some good stuff in there.

    Starting playing this game about a week ago. I'm not addicted, but it pulled me away from the F2P game I had been playing for the past year and a half. So yeah, I like it.

    I'm also enjoying all of the "I'm sorry" bonuses they keep throwing our way!

    edit: Playing on an LG G2 is a lesson in patience/frustration though. I've lost so many quests/energy/time due to it quitting out (sometimes you can get back in without losing progress, but not always). I'm not sure what I can really do about it though, their 'answer' is useless. I'm debating on overriding my clock on the processor while it's running to see if that helps.

    Is the dark starter that one with a lance in heavy armor? Yeah, hoping I get one too.

    I laugh at the sheer amount of story that's thrown into this game. Every time I enter a new area it's like 40+ taps to actually play again.

    I don't know which one of you has Frost Queen Stya, but I love you. She's seriously my favorite character that I've seen so far.

    well right now I'm just trying to beat lv3 stya to get the gem but the game seems to not like the idea.

  • Gnome-InterruptusGnome-Interruptus Registered User regular
    So I found something neat, on the home section of the game, if you go into the Menu, then Unit Info, you can read a little bit of lore/backstory blurb for each unit. And each time you evolve a unit, it advances their little flavor text.

    Alternately, the wiki has that info too.

    Hold the phone. You get gems for finishing all 3 levels of the special summoner dungeons? FFFFffffuuuu... I'm just barely strong enough to do it without using every single I have and being left down to 1-2 units. :p

    The new Frontier zone is challenging. Managed to beat the Middle zone, can't get past the second stage of End. Yeaaah...

    Managed a second Green Starter Lance out of Honor summons today though, at least. Yaaay. I'd rather have one of the newer units that have come about in the last month.

    I did the app clear data / reinstall, and can now access the 3rd map. Its really nice, it seems that the drops are lvl 8-10, which makes it much easier to level some units up without needing metal ghosts.

    I'm in the exact same boat.

    And its kinda disappointing because the reward spheres for getting a ton of points are game breaking and I know I'm no where near getting them right now. I hope this is an ongoing thing with the same rewards each iteration.

  • spicospico Registered User regular
    I knew this would happen but I used my gems on 2 rare summons anyway and i got 1 3* valkerie, <---Really, are you ****ing kidding me?
    On the other hand i did manage to bag myself a 4* inventor elulu

    Completed the middle frontier zone with about 260k points. The 6 idol level was murder.

    So I'm farming the level 1 ice lady special dungeon. Every time I win, I gain a level, and can run it again immediately. I'm having to use some potions to beat it but so far, so good.

    Team is:
    Goth Kikuri ("Gothic Kikuri" sounds better)
    Ice Selena
    Leviathan
    Medusa
    Advisor Weiss

    I've almost got Kikuri up to max level. Medusa is my second at level 20ish.

    In general, special stages give a lot more xp than your normal quests.

    Yeah, at level 12 I finally hit the point where I can't just keep redoing it. Still haven't seen her drop. Probably about a 2% chance like PAD, I'm guessing.

    The level 1 rates are poop. The level 2 rates are pretty good (usually takes me 2 or 3 runs to bag a drop). Level 3 rates are even better, but the difficulty spikes. What's more, you have a shot at getting a starter at levels 4 and 7 of level 2 and 3. So if it's a water event, there's a chance you get a water starter.

    I'm sooo hoping to get a Vargas from the fire event.

    You're just starting out, so level 2 might be hard unless you run a lot of metal parades to level your dudes. Have you been upgrading your town to get better consumables? it helps! Don't worry about 'missing' the event, they cycle them.

    Just venting frustrations: Rare Summon gave me Holy Shot Heidt. I can't complain too hard since the gems were just freely accumulated, but wtf. Any of the newer units they put out in the last month are all statistically stronger than the units that were available at base launch. Just give me one, game! :P

    You should see some of the stuff that's coming up. The later units have incredible BBs, but it'll be a while before we see them.

  • LanrutconLanrutcon The LabyrinthRegistered User regular
    Whoa there. God Arm Gallant level 3 is absolute bullshit. I can clear the Frontier Zone, but he just keeps AOEing multiple times a round. Not worth gemming to kill him when he's an average unit at best.

    Need a bit of advice. I'm on the 2nd world, the forest path and the 3 ent's at the end wreck my shit no matter what I seem to try.

    Here's what I have available to use:
    Burning Vargas 3* lvl 40
    Elimo 3* lvl 40
    Strategist Weiss 3* lvl 40
    Behemoth 3* lvl 40
    Emilia 3* lvl 40
    Alice 3* lvl 40
    Ice Selena 3* lvl 21
    Archer Lario 2* lvl 12
    Thunderbird 3* lvl 1
    Behemoth 3* lvl 1
    Heavy Magress 3* lvl 1
    Samurai Mifune 3* lvl 12


    My main problem is I have nothing evolved over 3* due to being able to get the mats to do so. I'm finally seeing idols, but those are also popping up making me use a ton of potions to get past them, then eventually end up dying to the Ents. I have a ton of spirits and nymphs, but that's not getting me anywhere.

    Wow that was stupid. I start the game and read the announcement about new summons going up tomorrow. So then I think boy when I get my 5th gem again I should wait until tomorrow to try to get one of them.

    Then I go in, receive my daily gift gem and IMMEDIATELY go do a rare summon. I got a Valkyrie. Oh well.

    I don't think I'll ever encounter a light totem. Is it worth running through a random element and getting one I don't need just to hope to get the light totem?

  • Gnome-InterruptusGnome-Interruptus Registered User regular
    I'm trying to decide between spending stones on energy refreshes to get Vargas, or trying the rare summon gate once the last 3 of the new heroes are released.

    So, on the advice of the Android Games thread, I picked this game up and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing or if the summons I am leveling up are any good, but I seem to be figuring out some of the strategy.

    My ID is: 1398813712 (I'd love to get some friends to send gifts to!)

    I've got the following summons:

    ****
    Hot Chef Lancia - Level 38
    Dragoon Zephu - Level 24

    ***
    Vine Pike Lance - Level 40
    Gunner Douglas - Level 7
    Lava - Level 7

    **
    Aero - Level 13
    Rantoul - Level 15

    My current team is
    Hot Chef Lancia - Leader
    Dragoon Zephu
    Vine Pike Lance
    Aero
    Rantoul

    Should I be swapping one of my non-actives in, or trying to get some more non-rare monsters in the first region (Mistral) into my team?

  • ImperfectImperfect Toronto, Ontario, CanadaRegistered User regular
    Hey, so capturing this new Blacksmith dude. I can MAYBE beat him on level 3, reliably beat him on level 2, and easily beat him on level 1.

    But what's the best strategy for capturing him? Like, as many times as I can on level 1, or try for higher levels or what?

  • ObiFettObiFett Use the Force As You WishRegistered User regular

    Level 2 as much as you can.

    Level 1 is a crapshoot and I've been in a position when I've run it 30+ times to finally get the drop.

    Level 2 is like a 20% chance (based on personal experience and numbers I've seen elsewhere). You should have him in ~5-7 runs.

    Level 3 is a really solid chance, but you don't want to risk not completing it since it uses so much energy.

    Ugh. I run a mono fire team as my main, so doing the water level has been a bit of a struggle with my shitty lightning units, but I've now run it so many times that I've got four Selenas, but no Styas. I guess that should be good given that Selena can go to give stars, but it's annoying! I still feel compelled to try and catch her, but I want to spend energy on other things. Having a limited time window always gets me.
