    I got Firewatch for my guaranteed 5-pull. Did want her so that's fine, then bought Lappland since there's no way I'm getting enough certs for Ifrit. Should actually be close to pity rate ups now, I did a bunch of pulls on the Shining banner without getting anything. Hopefully I get either of the banner pulls.

    Well, got most of my base upgraded. Just need to work on one factory, a power plant, the training room, dorms and the last command center upgrade. Thinking I probably should make a dash to get the last dorm unlocked, so that it's easier to ensure that peeps get rested before worrying about fully upgrading the last factory. Think we get enough passive gold from other sources, that I can probably hold off on that. On the other hand, looking at my current maps, I'm dealing with a ton of maps with invisible units, so it might be worth getting SilverAsh up to be my first E2 and make those much easier. On the other, other hand I'm poor now because of base upgrades. XD

    So does Ch'en get any better in the story? I'm a little into Chapter 3 and currently I'm off the opinion that if I ever pull her I'm assigning Kroos to blast "Killing in the Name" outside her office 24/7, with karaoke highly encouraged
    No, but she's a cute dragon girl so just open your heart to the oppression, state security is your friend

    10th pull Lappland, so I got that going for me. Which is nice.

    Also puts me close to pity going into the Ch’en banner.

    Wait, is there a pity rate thing besides the 10-pulls guarantee?

    After 50 pulls, not multis just singles, the 6* rate starts ratcheting way up and it carries over to other banners. Playing around with the Gamepress summon simulator it's something like 22% after 60 pulls and keeps skyrocketing. You'd have to be incredibly unlucky to need the full 100.

    This is also why singles are best here.

    are you sure it doesn't apply to 10 pulls? that wouldn't make any sense, there's no advantage to 10 pulls over single pulls other than time savings, why would they make it strictly worse odds too

    It counts all rolls. A lot of gacha only value ten pulls so a pull means ten. So you have to make a distinction. I guess. Kind of like the pity counter in Dissidia only goes up with ten pulls not singles.

    (even if you weren't paying attention to JP, that second one is obvious confirmation the Ch'en banner is coming)

    Ch'en's neat because she has a swiss army knife toolbox and doesn't actually fit into any Guard archetypes.

    Ch’en is definitely something I’ll go reasonably deep on tbh. Nice character design and useful for a bunch of stuff.

    Speaking of Guards... this game is called Guardnights right?

    (Her Silence is now lasts 5 Seconds after an attack meaning she can now perma-silence an enemy instead of just eliminating death effects or longer cast skills.)

    Who's everyone's favorite Operator so far? For either gameplay or/and personal reasons. Gonna go with Angelina here. The Foxgirl has super grown on me. Sweet personality, fantastic support + burst AoE or deathlaser in game, and wears those twintails super well.

    Eyjafjalla's my strongest so far, but the Fox wins over the Sheep for me atm.

    I already did it, even though it hurts to use the XP and LMD when I'm so strapped for it.

    I have a soft spot for Gitano after desperation/I do like her design, even though she's just not very strong.

    Skadi. She looks cool, and the whole mysterious swordswoman of massive destruction she's got going appeals to me.

    And she can hold most lanes just assisted by Nightmare.

    got a dupe Liskarn on my first single pull on the new banner for my guaranteed 5 star, then YOLO'd a ten pull because I'm bad at gambling and got Eyjafjalla too. I'll take it. First non-guaranteed 6-star, I probably had some pity drop chance at play there.

    And with that, the base is fully upgraded!

    Other news didn't get much from this eyjafjalla banner. Believe it was 9 pulls for a 5* whom I already forgot. Oh well, gotta keep to the mines

    5*s are a little more reasonable. Far easier mats for one.

    He's not having cards stay in/on. Clearly only going halfway. Not enough commitment to the joke. Can only give 9/10.

    I've combined him with Haze for +60% Gold Production. Then in the Trading Post I combo'd Midnight with Gitamo and Catapult for 85% Order Efficiency, -0.5 Morale drain, and Order Limit +1.

    I expect tomorrow is going to bring a golden bounty.

    Do you have any trick to staffing your base other than remembering certain people pair? I find it pretty quickly gets chaotic with everyone on slightly different timers and I end up just going off icons

    What is this I don't even.

    Yeah, I just have slowly memorized what each little icon means and try to make pair some together when I can. Most of the time my morale has my units scattered into dorms and I just make sure I at least have 1 icon of some kind in each room.

    Also, news just dropped in-game. Looks like Wednesday is Chen banner + Chapter 5. And maybe even more importantly, a week of All Supplies + All Chips open. Gonna be real hard to do anything but just run LMD for 7 days straight.

    normally i have set "teams" of people that i deploy to factories/trading post and in order to keep them all in a row i will put them in the same dorm etc. I'll also rotate them out even if they're not at 0 morale if i have a team waiting in the wings in order to reduce the odds i have multiple teams at 0 morale and then have to put in operators without relevant skills as a stopgap measure

    when you click on the operator slots in a facility it will also prioritize operators with relevant skills so that definitely helps
