    Yeah, it's a limited time deal. It'll come around again with a new set of maps down the line.

    It's basically the hard-mode event though, so if you can't clear stuff I wouldn't get too frustrated with it.

    I haven't even really looked at it. I still haven't managed to 400/400 on annihilation 3.

    I haven't either, I just live with a slightly lower weekly cap and farm 2. I probably could by now, but it's miserable to play one of those manually.

    One Daily Max Risk to close it out with a good old return to Guardknights in a familiar stage.

    I like my LR setup so much more on this map so I didn't bother fucking around much

    i'm specifically talking about the ones that came from the Operation Protocols or w/e the Yellow Tokens that you got 2 of per day were, not the normal boxes you get from clearing the daily

    Oh, okay. You have to go back into the expired CC menu to get them.

    There's also a no reward rotating training stage.

    yes, that's why I specifically called them Barrenland boxes since they're different

    anyways


    So Children of Ursus confirmed and they're definitely messing with mini event order
    On the one hand this means we aren't getting Shamare
    On the other hand it means we're getting Absinthe, who is our lord and savior of clues

    Rosa's cool. A super long ranger sniper focused entirely on heavy and heavy armored enemies.

    Her second talent has more targets than Skadi's too :P.

    She has a unique attack range too. Seems interesting. That first talent though is the kicker...

    Well, I'm pretty disappointed to have missed Bagpipe, but I learned my lesson on spending cash after Ch'en. I did get lucky with Blaze off banner, so maybe I'll see her later on. In better news, I came out of CC with three new E2's: Saria, Blaze, and as of today Ptilopsis. Hoshiguma and her new skin that I like more all the time is next, but I have essentially very little lined up for her yet. Just the Defender chips and not much else right now, honestly.

    Oh yeah, the Ursus units all have a good aesthetic going.

    Probably doing Warfarin E2 next. Then... Liskarm or Hoshiguma? I dunno.

    So my short time playing this game I've come to the conclusion that I should save my gold coins and origami for events and when those guaranteed rates are up. Is that a fair assessment?

    Presuming you mean Orundum and Originite Prime, that's a personal decision. Standard banners will let you fill in on previously released 6*s, most of which are still at the top of the game. Limited banners will be your best bet for acquiring the brand new operators, which can vary in quality, though you can still get spooked by off-banner units fairly frequently.

    I see, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

    When I started playing, the event had multiple 'guaranteed 5 or more star in 10 rolls' thing. Is this common for events? It seemed like a good way to min/max high tier characters, which is what I was thinking about saving for.

    Every single banner, standard or otherwise, on release has Guaranteed 5*+ in the first 10 pulls. Some people will only do this G5 for a new banner and try to save currency for specific targets. And some people with good or old accounts will even start skipping G5s on standard banners to be able to target only new characters.

    So there's some actual farming you can do for this event:

    SV-6 drops Oriron Cluster. ~38 sanity per drop instead of 50. There is a later event that will do all the way down to 27 sanity though, so no need to go crazy here.
    SV-7 drops Coagulating Gels. ~45 sanity per drop instead of the usual 62. So far, this is the best place to get them that even the CN server has seen so far.

    It's nice hitting the guarantee on the 2nd draw, but Leonhardt is uninteresting for me.

    got Rosa in 50 pulls but uh all the suspense was taken out of it because I got a medal for acquiring X# of Operators before I even opened the bag and I had already gotten the other 2 new ops lmao

    also why are the event medals small

    Trying for Rosa...

    Single 1 - Podenco
    Single 2 - Leonhardt

    wait that's never happened before
    oh no
    okay, that can't be a jinx, right?

    Roll 1 - Leonhardt P2
    Roll 2 - Platinum P3, Leonhardt P3
    Roll 3 - Istina P3
    Roll 4 - Istina P4
    Roll 5 - Leonhardt P4, Leonhardt P5

    what the hell are these rolls...very strange from what I'm used to. Not really complaining, but don't usually hit 5*s that back to back and the rate-up...

    Roll 6 -

    Rosa

    Eyyyyyyy! Just as I hit pity. Slightly more than I had budgeted but that's still good. Actually did pretty okay here.

    And there we go. Masteries are going to take a bit, unfortunately.

    SV-4 challenge mode is uhhhh how the fuck do you do that

    I'm asking here to acknowledge my weakness before I go look up a video for it

    oh right, cheap snipers at the start. And a pusher+puller. I never remember the shifter units.

    if it's the one with the lancers, you can literally pack most of your dps, including any melee, aimed at the one jetstream which will slow all the enemies following the path and just make a killbox there
    a supporter can help slow them but in general many of the enemies don't have that much health
