    Will we get a free Winter Ticket? If so, I can skip the Christmas banner and just get A. Rain as my magic tank.

    Do you select the unit? It looked like it was a random unit from the pool of eight.

    10+1 was junk. The 5* ticket was Felix which I didn't expect.

    Did the step up on the old banner, ended up with two Christine. Not the unit I would have wanted but I'll take her.

    What is that Winter Summon thing that appeared in the summon banners, btw? Is it a thing we're all getting or just a paid thing or what?

    As of now just a paid thing. Maybe we will get one for free from a Christmas daily login bonus?

  • TeaSpoonTeaSpoon Registered User regular
    2x 10+1 = T.Terra #1, Gladiolus #2, CG Sakura #2.
    5+1 = Nothing
    5* Ticket = Gladiolus #3 (Are you kidding me?)
    3x 4* Ex Tickets = Nothing

    10% Rainbow Ticket = Nothing (Never had a rainbow from these tickets)
    2x regular tickets = Nothing

    Now I need to think real hard about the step-up banner

  • urahonkyurahonky Registered User regular
    Not surprised that my 30% rainbow ticket was a blue.

    Yeah my 4 10% 5* tickets were all garbage too. Dropped all my tickets and got shit as usual.

    My 5* ticket got me my 2nd CG Lid so I guess that's good.

    Aw. Pity.

    Also, I have to say it seems kind of a dick move to put up a boss for a MK event where all the bonus units use ice and give it ice resist. Thankfully Onion Knight can carry this team.

    Looking for Kryla do I can UoC her 7*
    —————————
    5* ticket = Emperor #3
    10+1 = Junk
    25 tickets = Junk
    5 4* tickets = Junk
    90% blue ticket = Lotti (nice TMR)

    Sigh. Time to start the step-up, was trying to preserve lapis,

    First step: Kryla #1 Yay!!

    10+1 ticket was nothing.

    5* EX ticket gave me Christine. Sorry, little girl, I'm not pulling for a dupe. I will, however, take that TMR

  • urahonkyurahonky Registered User regular
    Lol ran the event and got a couple of tickets so I dropped one... Rainbow.... Christine #3. I fucking knew it... WKN or Kryla would have made me so happy. But they just can't have that lol

    Okay. Step-up banner.

    Step 1 = Nothing
    Step 2 = Christine #1, so nothing
    Step 3 = Nothing
    Step 4 = Nothing
    Step 5 = Christine #2

    Just Christine? Are you fucking kidding me?

    [edit] Christine is the one unit I didn't want, so the game gave me two of them. The odds of that happening is like 10%.

    [edit] Lap #2

    Step 1 = Nothing
    Step 2 = Christine #3 (Fuck you, game)
    Step 3 = Nothing
    Step 4 = Nothing
    Step 5 = WKN #1

    That's it. I'm done.

    [edit] Now I'm thinking I should get Christine #4 to get a Christine chaining partner or a STMR...

    Two 5* EX tickets gave me Lulu and Yuna. Alright game, are you trying to tell me something.
    22 3* tickets and a 90% blue ticket got me nothin'.
    One lap on the old banner step-up got me my first two Kryla's, so 7* there. That's something.

    But I'm all out of pulls now so I have to decide if want to UoC my Christine for 7* or just sit on it to see if anything happens in Jan to make up my mind.

    5* was Reberta. As soon as I get enough Gil, I’ll have her at 7.

    10+1 gave me...Prishe? Okay.

    Sorry to hear about the bad luck this morning. I've actually had a pretty eventful morning. I almost went straight for the old Christmas unit step-up, but decided to pull some EX tickets first. Stopped at the 5+1's.

    5+1 ticket #1: 2 golds, 4 blues (ok, no biggie. Moving on to EX tickets.)
    3* EX #1: Rainbow! Nyx #2 (Sweet! I want his 7*, but damn, I should have started with the step-up. Back to the 5+1's)
    5+1 ticket #2: 2 golds, 4 blues again. (Alright, back to EX tickets)
    3* EX #2: Rainbow! Lunera #2 (Are you kidding me?!?!? I really should have done the step-up. Might as well try a 10+1 ticket)
    10+1 ticket #1: few golds, the rest blues (As expected)
    10+1 ticket #2: Deja-vu. Rinse. Repeat.
    10+1 ticket #3: Drops rainbow! Cloud #3 (Almost to that sweet STMR, but I would have preferred another Elfreeda)
    3* EX #3-12: mostly blues with a couple golds. (Might as well finish the rest)
    4* EX #1-5: all golds, nothing special.
    5+1 ticket #3: 3 golds, 3 blues. (Mkay)
    5+1 ticket #4: 2 golds, 4 blues. (No random Christmas units, gotta do the step-up now)

    *Hesitation*
    Threw a few random tickets at the regular banner. Another Santa Roselia. Ok. Almost used my 10% and 30% tickets, but stopped.

    Step 1: nothing.
    Step 2: nothing. *getting nervous*
    Step 3: nothing. *really getting nervous* (This was a bad idea)
    Step 4: Drops rainbow! WKN #2! Oh 2nd rainbow! Christine #2. (Mission accomplished, but I still want Kryla...)
    Step 5: Triple rainbow!!! Kryla #1, Christine #3, and Kryla #2

    Top it off with my kids actually cooperating this morning, which means no yelling or frustration, makes for a really nice morning.

    The hoard, she is gone! 125 units to merge now lol.

    5* EX ticket was CG Nichol #4
    6 - 10+1 tickets = Rinoa #2 and Ellesperis #4
    5 - 5+1 tickets = Trance Terra #5
    2 30% 5* tickets = Nothing
    4 10% 5* tickets = Kryla #1
    1 5* 10+1 = Jiraiya #4
    Winter Select = CG Nichol #5
    25 4* ticket = Nothing
    10 3* tickets = Nothing

    Overall I think the lesson was, don't spend money lol. My paid 5* ticket was Jiraiya and my winter Select was 1 of 2 characters I didn't want. 6 others would have been great.

    As for the hoard, I was really hoping for WKN #2, so I could just UoC Zarg and get the itch out of my system. At this point I think I'll just UoC WKN. I have 40 3* tickets and 15 4* tickets left and I want to keep them for future MK events when I need some units.

    On the plus side, Elle #4 is nice, now sure who I use where that STMR would help right now. But feels like if the TDW keeps going and we get the changes JP got, should be really nice down the road. Kryla #1 is ok, her TMR should come in handy down the road. CG Nichol #4 was great, his STMR is amazing for kill with esper missions, but #5 is just kind of awkward lol. I guess it's a 50% TM if I merge them right. Rinoa #2 is also a great get. I find myself using her as a friend unit on 'kill with magic' missions since her 3x apocalypse is the hardest hitting magic spell we have right now.

    Overall while I got some nice units, not getting the unit your shooting for sucks lol. Especially when dropping just about everything you have.

    10+1 was Kid Rydia #1 and Hyoh #3. 5* was fuckin

    Hyoh #4! Do I keep the 7* or do i STMR?

    If you can kit out both 7* hyohs it would be better to keep them so you can dual them without needing to find a friend hyoh.

    If you don't care to do that, you can't go wrong with a neutral sword at 180 str.

    I kept 2 of him. I have enough gear that I can get both with good attack and it's super useful if you need a different type of friend unit. His TMR isn't 2-handed so it's not super great.

    Alternatively, his STMR is a great stat-stick for TDW users who want Greatswords.

    I'd say keep two of him until the TDW meta hits and then fuse them for the sword.

    DKC's STMR is really good once we got the stat cap moved up. My best Hyoh uses it along with 2x MG's to get the extra 30% attack.

    haha no worries, the nice thing is having the UoC we got for free as a backup. Not sure why I'm obsessed with Zarg's STMR when I haven't hit anything I can't beat right now lol. I think it's my need to prepare and knowing the elemental stuff becomes big down the road.

    Christine's STMR is crazy good, even Emperor's is only 60% total mag. However having 2 of her would also be an interesting choice if she doesn't have any chaining partners.

    I suppose there's always a chance GUMI buffs Jiraiya to compete... hahahaaha I couldn't finish my sentence.

    TDW meta is a bit after Akstar. It only really reaches full swing when PGLasswell and Raegen get their enhancements. With how much PGLasswell was buffed in GL, he's likely going to be a straight up monster when the enhancements come.

    I am a sucker with a lot of lapis so I did another step up on the GLEX banner last night. Pretty decent results, I did get Aloha Asswell #2, Reberta #2!!!! Circe and Olive.

    5* EX Ticket this morning was Luneth #3 lolz.

    Well, tallying up, today I spent a total of:

    5 4* tickets, 6 4*EX tickets, 2 10+1 tickets, 1 5+1 ticket, 5 EX tickets, 9 normal tickets, 1 5*EX ticket.

    My assured 5* was Delita. No other rainbows. Only golds worth mentioning were a second Tinkerer Carrie and a Lexa. Did get four Kriles, though. Blegh.

    I was considering going half a lap or something but given this luck, I clearly shouldn't.

    Having a dupe 7* Christine sounds cool, but I just don't see using her that much overall. That STMR would get A LOT of use. I don't have to make a decision for a while so I may wait and see what happens over the next few weeks.

    It's so weird having a super high bonus unit team: 7* WKN, 7* Kryla, 7* Christine, Tinkerer Carrie, and 6* Christine. This event should be over with quickly.
