    yeah it just seems like light and dark units should actually be weak to the thing they're supposed to be weak to, they seem like cheaters

    No weakness is totally cheating.

    Although it helps since two of the daily farm maps are light and dark always. They're curbstomps in coop but even so...

    It's nice because you can take, say, Hilde/Cleo/Estelle to anything and not take extra damage

    But if we're being honest, being off element is still "weak" because you're still not getting the damage reduction

    It sounds like a bigger deal than it is, because you still don't want neutral matchups and so far the game hasn't had any mixed element fights

    What is the standard way of building up wyrmite?

    Repeatably?

    Daily bonuses mainly. Not very fast that way?

    But every mao you clear is up to 25, story events are 25, adventurer stories are 25 then 10s, dragon stories, multiplayer is worth up to 2000 or so, all those achievement bonuses, etc. etc.

    Yeah, ideally repeatable. Basically, how often and what do I have to actually do in order to summon stuff without paying money? Because summoning with real money is extremely expensive.

    chapter 6 starts introducing mixed element trash groups, there's wind and dark and light units mixed in together

    Well yeah, trash is trash and melts regardless. I think a few stronger off-element enemies show up but mostly you just steamroll the main element.

    5 multis and the only 5 star I got was a wyrmprint. So I think I'll save for the new banner...

    Yeah I've done 5 multis and I have 2 rainbow wyrmprints and 1 dragon. I have enough to do another, but I think I'll just wait.

    Also, for random questing. Say, doing the pursuit of power quest: You get a higher drop chance for rare items in multi than you do in single player, so there's a good argument to do multi. Of course, in solo you get some xp for 4 people, which is nice. I believe the most efficient way to do things, then, is to co-op 2 player something. You'll get the increased rare drop of multi, but you'll also get to bring two units each to gain xp. Additionally, you can swap between your characters by tapping the portrait. However, your characters share their dragon cooldown, so you can't use this to double pop dragon on your two characters.

    What is this I don't even.

    Decided to give this a shot. I only got a 5 star dragon at first, was going to reroll. Then I spent the remainder on a single pull, and got a 5 star character. That works.

    This game drains battery like crazy, though. I guess I need to play it with my tablet plugged it, otherwise I don't think any grinding would even be possible.

    And speaking of tablets, this is so obviously built for teenagers playing one-handed on their phones while riding on the subway or whatever. It's very difficult for me to control, since I usually play with my Kindle on a table, using a stylus. I would love to see a control option that just makes it Diablo, where I tap where I want to go. And if an enemy is there, I walk up and attack it.

    Woo, I'm now at 6,000 Might and unlocked the final tier of Avenue to Power, so that's nice. Also finished Chapter 3 and unlocked Dragon Trials, so now I'm reliving my WoW raid days of watching rando idiots who don't know how to not stand in fire.

    Five more production to unlock Castle Level 4. Just need a couple more altars pumped up.

  • PolaritiePolaritie Sleepy Registered User regular
    I accidentally spent the t3 water orb I was saving for it, so I have to wait until tomorrow now to do the level 4 upgrade :pop:

    Those 4* weapons will be denied to me a little longer.

    I got Jeanne d’arc in a tenfold summon, and then she never actually appeared in my character roster. I was having fun with this game but that was really discouraging. :-/

    Yeah, there's a couple very humanoid dragons, but she's probably the most confusing. (There's also a unicorn... dragon. It's totally a unicorn, it's called "unicorn", but whatever)

    Jeanne is a very good dragon, even if she doesn't grant ATK like the "top-tier" dragons, because HP is vastly underrated for harder stuff and a Hildegarde with Jeanne is nigh-immortal.

    Oh hey, I found a weapon capacity expansion. Just sitting there for the taking.

    You just have to clear Ch 2 EX 1 on hard mode.

    There was some discussion on Reddit about 3* vs 4* at various tiers.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/DragaliaLost/comments/9ktju7/3elementals_or_4_weapons_my_breakdown/

    Basically, working on a 3* t3 weapon might be good for a couple characters, or not, it’s more preference on which way you want to go. Mostly changes what you need to farm.

    Just made a 10x pull. Duplicate 3 and 4*s,yeahhhh.

    Waiting for the new banner to pull, since the rates for the "featured" stuff is incredibly high compared to off-banner things.

    I pre-ordered this thinking my kid (who likes cute things and is super into dragons and all things dragon-y) would like a Nintendo action RPG where you could turn into a dragon on her hand-me-down iPad. I'm so happy I decided to wait and try it before I showed it to her because I learned about it from the ad in the App Store and had no idea it was a gacha.
    Crisis: averted. (I think it's a fun little game but there's no way I'm letting my child play a laser-honed money harvesting tool)

    I'll be honest - AO is too lenient a rating for a gacha. (In that I don't trust the average 18 yo to make the best judgement with them)

    Yeah. I already have Ezelith and Jeanne d'Arc, so there's no sense in putting any more resources on this banner even though I'd like a better selection of other units.

    Next banner has a new 5* unit and 5* dragon I'd like to get because Granblue, so I'm definitely going to be dumping a bit into it

    Have 50 draws saved up now

    This is a great post, thanks. I wish the subreddit wasn't such a trash fire of memes because there's often some really good info on these forums that's just buried.

    I ended up making the 3* fire dagger for Ezelith, and a 3* wind katana for Musashi. The rest I'll probably just do the second tier for until I can work toward 4* weapons.
