    7 x $9.8 while the Flames offered up 8 x $10.5 (according to LeBrun). Left a lot of money on the table to get closer to home (or just plain out of Calgary).

    Pens gave malkin his 4 years, 6.1 per.

    Additionally signed 3 people I've maybe heard of before.

    I had thought his whole thing was wanting to be close to home, which is the Philly area so far as I know. I can understand Philadelphia not being in the right position to sign him, but if he really wanted to go home, there are closer places. NJ, who was also in the running, is a lot closer. Gotta be something we don't know, doesn't there? It feels like we don't have all the info -- which happens, no big deal, it just feels incomplete.

    The Toronto zoo is ~25% larger and Toronto is the 4th largest city in North America by population, btw. They do have a hockey team in Toronto, I think.

    So, I tried the new Annihilation map, and I tried to make use of the pits on the left hand side, where those buffing enemies come out, so I put weedy over there to push them off as they come out, but they are just super heavy I guess? They hardly moved. Is there someone other than Weedy that can push harder? Or some mechanic that I've forgotten about that increase how far a unit is pushed? Or is there no way to make use of those pits and they're there just for show?

    Also, I've been meaning to ask this for awhile, but for support Skadi, for her buffing aura, do buffs on Skadi increase her buffs? Or is it only based on her base (unbuffed) stats? Because I usually try to put Skadi out, then play Exusiai so that Skaki will get the +atk buff from Exu, but I've never been sure if that is actually a thing or not.

    This was my 'afk' clear. Had to actually adjust things as my first attempts failed right at the end. If you don't see her under all the attack animations, that's Blaze facing down on top. Top side enemies target the left blue box so you don't actually need to block the right side box one top and can just leave it open.

    vlum3bL.png

    Nearl was totally unneeded on that left side as Flametail or Siege could just cover that on their own, but hey, she's comfy (and murderers the enemies that come out that side super quick) and the run works so I don't feel a need to change it.

    It's her current stats, which is after buffs.

    However her benefits to other operators may or may not factor into their skill buffs, depending. Any +XX% skills use base stats and then buffs are added afterwards. Any times/straight XX% skills take the buffs first and then multiply.

    I used Bagpipe for the left side in this annihilation. Ifrit, Eyja, and Schwartz to take out Jesselton before he goes into the stairs.

    I mostly decided I wanted to use Schwartz since I rarely put her in a squad.

    Was able to knock out the rest of the event last night. Still felt super low on currency the whole time to the point I had gotten all the medals and still hadn't bought all of the tier 1 rewards (I think? Either way I had to grind a ton to finish the spend 4000 medal and I still had a ton of stuff I wanted to buy after that). Ended up eventually having to give up because I ran out of stamina refills and didn't wanna spend THAT many yellow crystals to keep refilling - got all the money in tier 2 and most of the pink tube things and just had to call it good there (would have liked the XP thingies and skill books but bleh)

    Yeah, I guess I started the event late somewhat because normally I'm able to clear out the store of everything I want and then have to take the terrible LMD deal to close things out. This time, I wasn't able to get all the furniture parts or any of the Green certs.

    Just to be clear, this Phantom and Crimson Solitaire is a new Rogue like mode? I haven't tried it yet.

    Ok so it was not just me. I wonder if stuff in the store was more expensive and/or the amount of currency rewarded was lower than usual. I started a *little* late but only by a couple days and the rest of the time I was farming event maps (I saved the EX maps for like the last two days but that shouldn't have mattered much for currency). Had this problem with one of the previous events too.

    14 saved up individual Headhunting Tickets plus a normal 10 pull, I got Leonhardt, a Manticore dupe, and Rosa

    The three possible 6*s I could've gotten were between Rosa, Schwarz, and Skadi Original. So I consider that a win, even though I was gunning for Schwarz. Rosa's good.

    Redid my autos for the rest of Who is Real with some Trust gain setups, but the gains are so incredibly low, it barely feels worth it (even with the Trust up characters). I managed to get enough yellow certs to grab Phantom from the store, and he's proving to be very cool right away. Which means my pull from the guaranteed will be Eunectes, if I want to bother with it. I haven't decided on that yet.

    Phantom is incredibly good. Get his module for refunds and M3 his S2 and he won't let you down in redeployable killing power.

    Huzzah!!!!! Finally got a clear in the new mode (after playing waaaay too much this weekend):
    35zwv0rcddgp.png

    Spoilers in case you are trying to do the new mode blind:
    A lot of things had to come together to get this run to work. I just unlocked the "research squad" which gives more exp to level up, which gave me *just* enough hope to get the units that I did (I had 0 hope at the end). A special shout out to Fartooth, who I got on a random "guest" (I think thats the term for it) recruitment, who on the last map just sniped the silly dancers from across the map, and thus was a non-issue (it was my first time on the last map, and I had no idea what to expect). Also, super great that I got a medic for my first recruit, that made the beginning sooo much easier.

    Man, I got to an alternate ending battle with
    the bear doll thingy. And I really need a different way to approach that fight. The shield on the boss is just huuuuge. I got it down once, but a ceiling collapse took out two of my big damage dealers and then it was a wipe soon after.

    And even on my run that I did clear (the normal? ending), Surtur really wasn't a big part of it. She helped some on the boss, but she got stunned more than not. Definitely not needed!

    What are your guy's strategies for starting out? I seem to have the most luck going one strong caster (usually Eyja), cheap sniper (either May or Jessica), and depending on the starting hope, either Cuora or Beagle. I'd really like to start with the guard/healer/support, but my bargain supports are terrible :( Maybe I just need to level one. Any suggestions?

    A serious Rogue like mode suggestion: max level and skill literally every 3 star unit. They will fill gaps in your lineup when you're making a decent team, but they can't do that unless you give them the proper stats.

    My goto start with that one is Thorns, Orchid, and Hibiscus. Thorns will basically solo most of the early maps, Orchid will slow waves enough when you get too many at once. Then once you can promote Thorns and get his S3, it's easy mode.

    I usually start Vigna, May, Jaye, since I have them all built. Usually grab Honeyberry for a medic. Then again I haven’t finished a run, usually fail at Phantom.

    Ethan is really good for me too. I’m working on Pudding and seriously thinking of doing Mizuki S2. Always come across the artifact that does damage while stunned, bound, or frozen.
