    took me 75 pulls on banner to get 1 6* which given the pity rules is truly insane bad luck, but it was mlynar. i should still have enough to be able to guarantee texas as well so i think i’m mostly fine with it. was very annoying while it was happening tho lol

    My pulls are pretty, pretty bad again. Got spooked by Kal and Hibiscus Alter. I don't have a lot of currency to keep things going either.

  • TransporterTransporter Registered User regular
    I’m sorry I apparently took the luck.

    I didn’t have many pulls so I bought the monthly before it turned over, but I had about two ten pulls before that.

    I bought the pack assuming it would go poorly, but dad came home in the one 10 pull I already had so....horray?

    I am expecting to pay for the Texas Alter banner in blood.

    Decided to roll and got the grumpy horse on pull 57. Figuring out if S2 or S3 is higher priority.

    I got a dupe gnosis which tilted me out of my mind, but luckily the honse came two 10-rolls later

    Pulled Gnosis, which made me think I should quit pulling and move on... the subsequent single pull was Mylnar. That's crazy...

    Pro skill training tip I just now discovered: Irene's (E2) base ability is kind of broken.

    How to use it:
    1) You won't get the most out of this unless you're planning to do a skill beyond M1, and all in a row. So research what you'll need for M2 or M3 before you get going.
    2) Have Irene train the skill previous to the one you want the bonus on (M1 for the benefit being in M2, M2 for M3's benefit) for at least 5 hours. More on this later.
    3) Don't pull out Irene or the person being trained from the training room during the whole process.
    4) If you meet the conditions of 2 and 3, the follow-up skill will have its training time halved right at the start. So if you trained M1 for 5 hours with Irene, M2's time will be cut in half and if you trained M2 for the five hours, M3's time will be cut in half.
    5) This means you can get the bonus for M2 AND M3 in a row if you don't pull Irene out at any point.
    6) Once the time is cut in half, you can at that point pull Irene and stick in someone more suited to the training (highly recommended for M3 training).
    7) So if you were being very technical, you could use Irene to get M2's time halved, use someone better until the timer was just above 5 hours, stick Irene in again for 5 more hours, get the M3 bonus, and then stick in a good trainer for the shorter M3 time.

    So, does anyone have any background information on this current crossover? I'm lacking all of the context for this and why there's a transforming cat person as an Operator now. And also why these story records won't be retained after the event ends?

    From what I remember it's a Chinese animated series/webcomic that I guess is somewhat popular in China?

    Colab events are weird, so I dunno

    I will never understand the logic between the events that "close" but you can still access a few days, and events like this that just completely vanish :/ I think I still had event currency I was gonna spend, but guess not :/ (at least I bought everything important... I was gonna rebuy the merges for yellow certs but whatever I suppose)

    It's not actually gone gone. Hit the Terminal, it's there in the center, grayed out. You can spend any already earned currency.

    Ooo, ok. I wonder why they take it off the home screen then.

    They do that inconsistently, you're right. They won't have Chapter 11 stuff to replace it with until Thursday anyway.

    Took the time to run Chapter 11 (run but not read it, lol). Once again, I am caught flatfooted by there being an Operator tucked away in there. I'm not sure what the optimal way to fight the Big O is, but applying laughable amounts of dakka (Thorns + Mylnar + Surtr + a side helping of Pozemka) didn't seem to hurt.

    Ha, ironically I was doing a lot of Chapter 11 last night too, after not touching the campaign in months (slash a year? It's been forever.. because lazy... I only started Chapter 9 like a few weeks back). For whatever reason I've been in the mood to check more of the boxes lately so I'd been kinda randomly working on stuff. Also been trying to get a lot of the modules. Not that I have the premium mats to make all of them but you know, the quest requirements are done at least :P

    I still don't quite understand the red puke mechanic the chapter seems to be using, other than I guess it's a dot cloud? The damage is so negligible though that it doesn't feel like it's doing anything. I keep expecting enough stacks of it to build where it just OHKOs my operators but that isn't happening, so *shrug.* Maybe it's just a mechanic like those prisoner enrage things - something I just ignore because I can't be bothered to care :3 (I kinda suspect I am accidentally just circumventing the mechanic somehow via my normal playstyle but who knows)

    I had four tens left over after rolling for hot horse uncle.

    Blew those got jack

    Bought out the good special event packs(choose a 6, instant 90, instant 80, elite 2 5 star, special summoning.)

    5th ten was a blue bag.

    6th ten is full pity, but it rolled a double 6, and it was Texas Alt AND Penance, closest to the platonic idea of a pity bag you can get(outside of Texas Alter and Skadi Alter.)

    Don’t follow my example though and wallet unless you got the money to burn this game is nice to me for some goddamn reason.

    ie I got my first top op in about 7 months, had terrible tags, so I yolo’d and Bagpipe popped out.

    I was going to use the instant 90 on my best grill Nearl Alter but lolpipe.

    Took me literally everything I had saved (178 pulls exactly), but Texalter finally came.

    Also two Penance, and dupes of Rosmontis, Nearl the Radiant Knight, and Mizuki. So really good 6* rates, but damn was I sweating from those dupes for a while

    Texalt in 91 pulls. Not terrific, not horrible. I'll take it.

    Feldorn
  • LorekLorek Registered User regular
    131 pulls to get a Penance and then the last 10-pull was a double Texas Alter drop. Mmmmm. Had eight of the Specialist generic-potential medals, so now she's at potential 4/6.
    Tempting to go for the extra two copies (had 300 pulls saved up so plenty left) but there's so many upcoming banners that I'll probably just save it along.

    Sit on your dragon hoard for the next cool thing unless you wanted Penance too.

  • Knight_Knight_ Dead Dead Dead Registered User regular
    i do want penance cause she looks fun and like a next level single unit lane holder upgrade to mountain but i know that the second i start pulling again it'll take me a billion pulls to get anything because thats how they get you

    I was luck and got TexAlter in the free 10 pull. I wasn't planning to chase it since I was going to save for Reed Alter.

    Is that a goddamn immortal Emperor Penguin wearing a fucking Tupac shirt?

    was bored and depressed because life so i pulled a bit more, just ended up duping texas in like 40 pulls. that's gonna be the end though, and i don't mind the -1 dp pot on a fast redeploy, does add up a bit.

    Got my first win with IS3. Definitely a bit harder than IS2. Picking up a wandering medic early on is even more required in this one.. really wished they'd introduce a 3* version just so you could pick one up for 0 hope.

    Also had to completely change my opening tactic of grabbing Thorns. There's a common level on floor 1 that he just cannot handle the number of baddies when he isn't E2. Had to swap to Mountain to start and hoping for multiple Guard recruits to grab Thorns later.

    I got Texas right away but can't seem to pull the other girl :( I even pulled a second Texas wasting all my crystals trying to get her. Bah. Probably just have to hope for later on (hope she's not super amazing or something). At least I got Texas, the only one that is actually limited (and the better of the two)

    This event is really weird. I was so confused at how to unlock levels for the longest time. And now it seems I've done everything I can because any more content is time gated behind two likes on a thingy per day.. *shrug* And the ex levels aren't out yet.

    Did you get to level 10? If not, it's not actually blocked (I had this same issue). Go to the last level you have, and follow the dotted line to the nearest location. There's a cutscene there. Watching it unlocks the next spot. @Warlock82
