This is a better version of Karma event I think. These events are made for payers, I usually play a bit then ditch them. It's just a game after all, new events are up every 7-15 days, so even if you miss an event, you'll only miss a unit you like, nothing else.I hate this events... the unit is interesting but with an average of 1 scroll per stamina, natural regen plus the 4 crystals from 3 star yields only 400 scrolls.
And the real stamina to scrolls rate is lower, like 0.75 or so...
Well not a crap ton. If you could clear away both witch events and 3-star them it was 12 crystals or so, and the monk event was another 5. All in all that's 17.With the past few weeks, you should have a crap ton of crystals unless you have no self control and gambled them away on gacha. I think I have like 17 atm even though I farmed the last event hard. All those mini witch events were nice for crystals~
Later there will most likely be more maps, meaning more crystals and better scroll drops, plus the free daily login crystals. I mean I nearly cleared the Karma event with no starting crystals, so starting off with 17, I think I'm good. Key to success as a free player: Don't spin crystal gacha. Your chance of finding anything useful is stupid low vs nearly guaranteed event drops.Well not a crap ton.

Plus, spending 1 crystal for say, 6-12 scrolls(need to be super lucky with drops, just run the 6 stamina map and only gave 3 scrolls), means you need 10 for maybe 100 scrolls. So either be ultra lucky, or spend like 50 crystals along with natural regen to max Ren.
I'm actually one of them, I have Desupia and I still say don't do it lol. Black units are honestly overpowered. If you have them, they just take away a lot of the challenge on most maps, just toss em out and activate their skill, auto win. I can see the game getting boring with enough black units. The plat units you get from events are more than enough to beat everything if you know what you're doing and still require some strategy. Desupia isn't even on my team atm.Tell that to the peeps that got all those black units and are free players
Well I hope you are right about new event maps, these are really bad and unworth spending anything.
Yeah, I never use crystals for gatcha but I do use them for the current events. I mean, I used up the 17 crystals on the witch events since all I had before that was Caliope.I'm actually one of them, I have Desupia and I still say don't do it lol.

As we've seen with the Karma event, sometimes they will even offer black units for events. If people had saved up their crystals for those, you get a guaranteed black unit, no gambling, just a lot of effort. I'd much rather that than just hope I get lucky. I know some people really want certain girls though and buying crystals keeps the game a float, so I'm certainly not knocking paying players. But if you don't plan to ever pay or aren't able to or whatever, I highly recommend avoiding gacha. Not like the company will be losing money if you use the f2p crystals on events instead of there and you get more useful units.
I'm curious if they're actually going to introduce a second phase, since the cost for Castle Siege is the exact same as the Dark Resident map during the second phase of the Karma event (Wolve's Den Extreme from the first phase was 60/3 Charisma/Stamina). It would be really annoying if the second phase maps for this event have awkward costs like 7-10 stamina while maintaining the same black hole status of Castle Siege.Later there will most likely be more maps, meaning more crystals and better scroll drops, plus the free daily login crystals.
My luck is horrible so I believe even if I spun 10k base gatchas, I'd never get anything more than a silver unit. My best bet for a black unit is probably to keep crystals till an event gives out one I want, then spam it to get it. Loved Saki from an old event, but I was new and couldn't farm to get her, just got Akane instead.@Elforen:
Unlike a lot of other DMM games, you can still get the black units from the base summoning, though I heard base summoning leans toward giving male units. However, the difference between summoning platinum and black units from it is roughly the same, and there's no black male units (if you manage to summon a black one, you have a 1/5 chance of getting one of the ones you wanted).

This might be official.
