    So how do we get new Metal Keys. Will they just appear in our rewards box?

    I did the Frontier dungeon and got to wave 15 or something. It was the wave of 4 units with Trent and Squid thing.

    Also, I cashed in 14 honour summons and got the lightning, ice, and earth starters. Really nice. I want to know how hard the totem dungeon is because I have like 3 4* units waiting on totems to evolve.

    I am envious of your luck, sir. Best thing I ever got out of an Honor Summon was a Mega Rare Metal God, and it wasn't even during a period when their drop rates was boosted. Every other time I end up with a lame 1 or 2* common unit, or an evo material like a Nymph or Sprite.

    cheers

    Just a question about honor points. I saw something about some sort of cap on how many you can have at any given point in time, anyone know anything about this?

  • ElementalorElementalor Registered User regular
    I believe the cap is 10k points or 50 summons.

    @spico - If you're using Android and having troubles editing your personal comment, try changing back to the stock keyboard for your phone to make the change. That's what I had to do.

    One day someone is gonna make one of these games right.

    Everything encountered with a drop chance. Creatures being tradeable. Auto PvP but with situational chosen behaviors for your team. Multiple evolution paths. etc.

    This one is fun though.

    The only healer I have is a maxed Dryad. I could evolve it but I wasn't sure if the +def +recovery is actually any good as far as a healer goes. Any input on this?

  • ElementalorElementalor Registered User regular
    I think the dryad classifies as a support. I don't have one so I'm not sure how effective their buff is. But it's definitely nice to have an hp healer on the runs to supplement healing items, especially if you run into more than one. You could probably skate by if it's just one.

    I think 4/5 of my runs last Thursday only had one totem, which is sad for me since I pretty much only need light totems at the moment.

    Just ran my first metal parade (haven't had a full hour to spare since getting the first key, so got another waiting for when I have the energy). I timed it with a level up so I managed to get four runs out of it. It's nice to finally make a bit of leveling progress! My Phoenix is one level from being able to evolve, so I'll start collecting the mats for that. Is Blacksmith Galant worth upgrading? I see he goes to 4*, but currently I've only got him at 2* so he's pretty weak. I'm spending most of my resources getting my Phoenix and Fire Knight Lava leveled, but could probably get the Blacksmith to 3* if it's worth pushing for.

    Also, same goes for Zegar, worth bothering with? I got a 3* one from a gem summon, but he seems pretty fragile.

    Currently rocking:
    - 39 Phoenix
    - 37 Fire Knight Lava
    - 31 Ice Selena
    - 18 Blacksmith Galant
    - 16 Rage Beast Zegar
    - 14 Undine
    - 11 Emilia
    - 13 Advisor Weiss
    - 10 Zephu

    I'd appreciate a bit of leveling advice from you more experienced guys. I'm regretting starting with Selena given that I've gotten pretty much nothing but fire units, but what can ya do. Should I hold on leveling Selena, or push for next evo? Should I beef up Zegar/Galant a bit to make a solid fire team, or start pushing some of my lower units up the chain (Zephu/Weiss/Undine)? I only got Emilia last night, but given that she can get to 5* I'll probably level her a bit. Gah, so much to level, so little experience to dish out. Sucks that the trash units give so little experience. Given that you're limited by energy so can't just repeatedly farm the trash anyway, leveling units seems to get pretty slow pretty quickly.

    Might have been me? Mine is only Knight Aem until I can get some light totems to spawn on thurs, dat sword tho! The BB boost isn't too impressive at 4* sadly, I'm hoping it's pretty awesome at 5*.

    @Kiz Basically you just go with what you get hah. I got basically nothing but light and thunder units when I started, so I just went with Light. It's just the RNG, can't predict that with your starters.

    Lava
    Zegar
    Phoenix
    Galant
    w/e Weiss or Emilia

    Which is somewhat similar to what I used to beat everything up to the 4th area in Cordelica. I would concentrate on the fire guys, hold off on Phoenix for now unless your going to pull again soon, level up zegar a bit and evo galant. Basically just get them to around the same * level. It's pretty fast and cheap to get galant to 3*, he's a decent unit just hard to spark with. Lava is ranked like...second or third overall. If you're not having trouble clearing content yet, I'd just concentrate on Lava and Phoenix, since they will basically always be good and useful, but Galant and Zegar will taper off and you'll eventually not need them anymore, but they should be good for a while. (btw Zegar will get a 5* evo in the future, unlike Galant). Otherwise I'd go Zegar and then Galant and then you'll have a strong base for a mono team, basically just waiting for another fire pull.

    For reference I still use my 4* characters since it's kind of tough to get a team of 5* capable dudes unless you get lucky.
    My team was:
    Holy Knight Will
    4* Luna
    4* Heidt
    4* Alice(dark I threw in since I didn't have another light unit to use)
    3* Legtos

    They pretty easily beat Lamia and the first 3 areas of Cordelica(I am currently replacing Alice and Legtos). I just put tanky spheres on the squishy 4* max ones, like holy robe or mech armor. I use Flesh Armor on my healer but I'm not sure you need that since Phoenix gets so tanky.

    But I got my 4*'s at higher rarity, so I didn't need to invest as much to make them useful. Maybe someone else has better advice regarding that aspect. But I feel like you can Galant and Zegar to 4* if you concentrate on that this week.

    1. So how badass do I need to be to run the Metal Parade?
    2. Those special daily dungeons with the named blokes: can they drop? on which difficulty?
    3. Do you get stuff out of the arena?
    4. When do I unlock the ability to build cool items like you lot are fielding?
    5. Are there any dailies that are recommended for new people?
    6. I have a water starter. with a decent water unit pull...but the rest of my pulls were all lightning. What do I do?

    1. MP are babby level, any team is fine(they do 1 and take 1 damage per attack)
    2. All of them, lower chances on lower difficulty, but none are guaranteed. Level 2 and 3 have a chance to spawn/drop that element's starter.
    3. Yes, good stuff that you can only get there
    4. Just gotta level up your town basically.
    5. Zel dungeon on weekends and maybe karma dungeon on mondays, the others you probably dont need I think.
    6. What are the pulls you got? Probably just run whichever ones you can, its not too big of a deal early on.

    @Elementalor Thanks heaps for the pointers. Content has started to get pretty rough so I'll push Galant and Zegar a little. I'm up to Abaddon and died once (thought it was bloody close), should smash it next try now that I've leveled a bit.

    Btw, something I'd like to contribute to the OP (I took a quick look and didn't see this already in there): When doing metal parades, you can get an extra free run once the timer has completed. Once you've depleted your energy but before the timer expires, if you click into the metal parade event and leave it at the battle select screen, you can lock your phone and come back once you have enough energy to run the level.

    Lanrutcon - you have the makings of a pretty decent Thunder team, actually. If you pull an Emilia or somehow get Eze, mark them as your leader unit and wreck face.

    My own gem pulls have been all over the place. I pulled 2 Fires (God Phoenix, Fire Drake), 2 Greens (Dryad, Gun King Douglas), 3 Blues (Undine, Knight Sergio, Captain Mega), 1 Thunder (Sky Knight Falma), 1 Light (Bahamut), 1 Dark (Scythe Alice) from gems alone. Through other means, I've gotten an extra Thunder (Commander Weiss) and an extra Water (Dragoon Zephu), and will get another Water unit when the Sprint event is over (Leviathan).

    My issue with Water units is they all seem to have crap for DEF. Sergio's stats are nice and even and he'll cap over 1000 when I evolve him, but every other water unit has paper for armor. :(

    I used the FB integration so I could backup my save file.

    Aha. That makes more sense, now. I hadn't considered the backup feature. That must mean that those who disable the app on Facebook but still Like the page will not receive the benefit of the backup but also don't get annoyed by the requests by the game to publish "news" to Facebook.

    Burned a few rare summons now that the new characters are out and went all over the place with elements.

    My current squad is:
    God Knight Will - 5* Level 47 Light (Leader)
    Wyvern - 3* Level 40 Light
    Angel Maria - 3* Level 7 Light
    Thunder Eze - 3* Level 40 Thunder
    Strategist Weiss - 3* Level 40 Thunder

    After the rare summons I landed with:
    Pixy Leore - 3* Earth
    Tinkerer Elulu - 3* Thunder
    Loch Ness - 4* Water
    Vampire - 3* Dark

    Also snagged Blacksmith Galant - 2* Fire... so basically I have a rainbow squad.

    Was really hoping for a different healer or for a Dark unit who has 5* potential and an interesting BB. The Vampire is pretty blah, even when evolved to a Lich. Anyone with a contrasting opinion?

    I may rotate in Elulu or Pixy Leore to replace Thunder Eze or Wyvern due to their BB skills that includes the chance to cause Injury or Weak, respectively. Maybe Weiss isn't as useful, but I've been making use of his BB to raise ATK over 3 turns to finish stage bosses. Can't say if it's actually made a difference in battle.

    Today is the day to attempt to harvest some idols to evolve units up to 4* and then spend some of my banked metal units to boost them immediately. St. Lamia's final fire quest absolutely ruins me...

    Tuesday dungeon gives you a random shot at gaining nymphs, spirits, and idols. Level 1 difficulty has the nymphs, 2 has spirits, and 3 has idols. The dungeon quests randomly give you a different element for each stage and there's the further randomized chance for you to actually capture the unit that you want. Trying to gather the idols I needed as... unpleasant in both the randomization which leads to waiting for a recharge and the difficulty of the dungeon.

    Has anyone spent money on gems? I feel like I enjoy this game enough to through some cash around in the shop, but then I look at the cost of gem packages and hypocritically leave.

    I bought some gems last week. And got like 3 leviathans and 3 fire drakes hah. My free gems did much better.
    I don't mind spending a bit as a tip considering how much I've played. Plus it just seems so much cheaper coming from PAD. But I probably won't buy any more for a long time.

    There's also a whole lot less to try to collect than PAD.

    Which on the one hand means you feel compelled to spend less. On the other, it just means there's less content overall.

    To be fair it's probably about the same amount of content/collection that PAD had when it was ~4/5 months old.

    I'm ok with that for now, makes farming and timing metal parades easier for me. Probably still sucks in the long run, decent zel and karma would be nice at least since you're using stam.

    Edit: So I just did my first run. Max stage 21(I think that means I died on 22?) 431340 points rank 2100, not too shabby. So, I get why the zel/karma is so low, getting there netted me 450k plus all the m.gods, so that's not so bad.
    That huge point gap is killler, I think you need to be able to clear all 30 on a typical run to hit the 600k and the rest is getting the bonus points.
    Item use doesn't seem to be worth that much, sparking, overkill, and elemental advantage I think can get you the most points.

    But man, is it really choppy for everyone else? I think I need to reinstall, the intro was all japanese too.
