Your word sting me badly there
i though i'm quite the strategist of using sandra for that 1 shot kill and leaving sophie behind to be killed later.....
But thinking i didn't use any assassination felt like i'm just part of the brute force faction
Well joke aside it was really fun map, and assasination felt like 50% chance there
I'm part of the brute force camp too. The only thing I thought was, "I need more damage and fast ones too."
In hindsight, the simplest answer was in the map all along with the 3 rogues (all of them having Assassination as their skill) waiting to cut down all the angels in their paths. I have missed the answer because I kept blocking every Sophie and none of them were assassinated.
Fran is killing last Niel wave very effectively (bottom right ) .
I am also using CC Saki, CC Nagi and my two Artemis: Claire and Spica. Plus 2 heals. managed it on 3nd try and now I am just finding the most funny way to complete it. used all 16 stamina but got only silver fairies and one black fairy. No Chloe.
As for Ricca map I didn't get any and my Ricca Chan refuses to go past skill 4/10, she is min cost since her event (I bet it was begginers luck for me ).
All in all: this map is very fun. Looking forward seeing next maps.
... I didn't think people would come to the conclusion to 1 hit ko the angels before they could regenerate.
Anyhow, ran out of stam and Chloe has yet to drop. I think I'll spend the rest of the event farming Chloe and Rita. May or may not bother trying to get the remaining two units.
I don't know why you wouldn't expect people to use 1 hit ko's the map gives you nothing but assassins as assist its like a big obvious hint that maybe assassinate works good here since the enemy has crazy regen.
I guess this wasn't so bad in the end only took me 1 crystal to 3 star it myself with no videos since the map cost so little
Huh? By 1 hit kos I mean throwing in units that kill the angels immediately with brute force so that the regeneration is meaningless, not assassinating them.
I'm beginning to get tempted to start spamming some SC so I can get CR/skill up'd Chloe/Rita's. Both of them sound like they'd benefit from that. I feel it's especially notable how maxed skill for Chloe means she can spend more time blocking than idling. With her monster stats combined with some decent timing in activating and releasing skills, it sounds quite good. Kinda amazing that she has higher stats than Erenia with nearly half the cost.
oh my mistake then I did not know chloes skill gets such a massive CD reduction at high ranks almost makes samurais pointless at lvl 10 since she does more dmg and has better defense and lower cost. I might go hard core grinding for chloe copies because of that really low CD
All 4 Angels have the same skill so you can use Niel and feed it to Chloe if you need skill ups. I will say that it's really difficult though. I have fed so many Niels to Elen and her skill is still only 6/10. Once I get 7/10, I will be using rainbow fairies from that point on because it'll be wasting a lot of angels just to try to get her skill to 10/10.
After running the chole map god knows how many times and used 4 sc finaly i get the chole but still no black fairy.and i need at least one more to cr-1 her and try to su her with silver copies.
i wanna ask as a fairly new player the event plat units we are trying to farm from the gold rush because of i join way later than their event this is my first time getting them.in normal aegis events is there gonna be other chances for me to cr/su these event units.
Oh, that's a good point. Might just get a few copies of Chloe for CRing mainly then.
And yeah, I actually felt similar about angels. Although they can indeed be a little tricky to use because of their lack of block when skill is off, when their skill is up they really feel like they make samurai's obsolete. Considering they cost more, have much lower stats and don't even get to hit all 3 targets until AW I think?
The main trouble I see in using Chloe is that she's unfitting for blind runs where you can't actually predict what's coming next. Wouldn't be fun for skill to run out and have some boss walk right past Chloe. Though on that note, it also brings an advantage. Because she doesn't block when skill is down, you can time her skill activation for when boss or any other important enemy is on Chloe. I always hated those cases where I have tough duelists out but they're busy with fodder and the actual enemy I want them to beat just walks past them.
@tommylee
You will have to wait for when they revive their events or another gold rush where they appear again.
@theshadowm
Angels do require intimate knowledge of a mission to use them very effectively. In exchange for that downtime, they have very high stats that can help cut down waves of strong enemies effectively.
Angels are very good as lightning rods as well, since you can use them to take aggro of ranged enemies by placing them in their range (and being the most recently placed as well). Another reason why they are good as lightning rods is because of their high MR.
With all these unit from gold rush... please care and manage ur resources well, instead of lving everything and stop 1/2 way..
Most of these gold rush event unit will be hard to skill / CR them up due to the only way to get them is wait in future gold rush.
On another note incoming future event unit + maybe your current unit that just awaken might need more of those resources to get them stronger....
My Serra still havent been touched in her lvl 40 yet, and i just awakened claire.... so i probably not going to care any old rush unit and just pray there a better unit coming out from next event.
PS: Gold rush usually a bait to make user spend alot SC , well their drop is not bad all those unit silver / rare item / gold unit from map completion... which make them worth it.
Just care on their drop rate though..... (and last time after gold rush next event nagi made me cry i got baited T_T / tons of gold rush unit on their CR-1 / skill 2/10 untouched even now)
i wanna ask as a fairly new player the event plat units we are trying to farm from the gold rush because of i join way later than their event this is my first time getting them.in normal aegis events is there gonna be other chances for me to cr/su these event units.
will be chances again but probably will take all year before you see some not all of their events. I've been playing I think a little more than half a year now and the only units from gold rushes I've seen revived are belinda, maribelle, odette charlotte and phosphorus the rest of the units were either recently from first time events, revived only in gold rushes multiple times or both. maybe you want to look at the past event list in the wiki to see how long its been since the last 2 gold rushes
I'd say don't try too hard on these event platinums unless have that black unit that x2 or x3 the drop chance. at most pick 1 or 2 units to focus on and or 1 copy of each at least just incase you find some of them useful even with no reductions or skill ups. don't spend too many crystals on this
Finally got the completion reward on Betty's map after spending about 3 sacred crystals on it to get Niel to drop. I got the completion reward on the previous 4 maps without spending any crystals, and my rare drops are as followed: Shaman Shiho: 3 Alchemist Corinne: 1 Angel Chloe: 3 Black Fairy: 5
I already have Chloe at mincost 9/10, so I'll save the extra copies for later. I spent 3 crystals on stamina so I could farm 'Giant Enemy' to reach 30 Gold Fairies, so I could feed Iris, Berenice, Betty, Kyuteri, and Mehlis their extra copies. I have some extra copies of Berenice at lvl 1 who I may pop into Berenice's mouth to see if I can get her final 25% reduction if the 2 30CC20~ copies, that are meant to raise her to AW80 don't work.
Essentially, 13 (+2 extraneous) units for 25% cost reductions and skill-ups.
Had to feed 1 of my two extra LV1 Berenice copies to my main, but I'm quite pleased with this. Though, right now I need to spend a lot of extra sacred crystals until my next stamp card. I decided to skip farming the Sunday map due to nightmares when I tried to get 3 Sniper Orbs to awaken Nanaly during the bad old days (1.5x bonus, extra charisma during boring event, or nothing).
So now I need to decide what I should do. The next two gold rush units don't interest me that much. Kojuurou can be obtained from the trading post, and his map doesn't drop anything I want. Same goes for Carrie. I'm almost considering wasting my crystals on premium summoning, since I'm already rank 200, and I feel as if all of my main characters are at a state where I can handle just about any event map.
I really wish the gacha simulator had a check-box feature for units I don't like, or consider worth 5 crystals, so I could more easily simulate the chances of getting a unit I think is worth it. I was doing about a dozen simulations, and all of them gave at least one unit that I wouldn't mind having despite the fact it's something like 55 crystals for an extra Gold Gunner Mel to cost-reduce and skill-up my main.
Summer is coming up, so there's most likely going to be a point campaign where I can purchase something like 15,000 points for the same amount it would take for 10,000 points the rest of the year. That's 150 crystals for 10,000 points, and my limit is 10 crystals a month—though my stingy hording habits made it so I spent far less on this game—so that's 1.25 years worth of crystals in case I really need to spend them on something (the only thing that comes to mind is if there's a 3rd barracks, an item trial character I absolutely want, or they finally fix the premium summoning so I only have to spend 50-100 crystals to get a guaranteed platinum unit I want).
EDIT:
OK, decided to do 11 premium summons, but I stopped at 10 (need to spend 9 crystals). I got an obscene number of gold units.
I wanted Black Iris or Platinum Camilla when I first started playing this game along with a Gold+ Archer back when there weren't any serial codes, tutorial, or emergency mission practice units to help me as a brand new player. But I already have an AW80 Iris, AW Sedis, and CC80 Liana. So my situation with B. Iris is going to be the same as my situation with Grania and this new Patra in that I know she's good, but do I really want to raise her when all it means is that she's going to replace someone I already invested so many resources on?
Anyway, the reason I stopped at 10 is because I'm going to need to 50CC and 30CC these Kriles as soon as possible, which is going to require some extra resource spending. I'm going to be annoyed if the next event introduces a Feng Shui User with a design I actually like. Japanese players are speculating that this character is going to be a Feng Shui User, though she looks like a black-rarity unit, and her design is a little too good for her to be an event unit like Nagi or Liana, so I probably won't have to worry about her being in an upcoming event:
Aside from not getting a thief or the Platinum Bandit Seria, I think I got every class I care about (Pegasus Rider and Feng Shui User), so I'll go back to my sensible ways and consider myself lucky I didn't summon the Black Summoner Farne, or get +50% silver units.
Even now i still haven't got Raichi....
This make me sad and i also understand when some ppl who done tons of run still unable to get their completion gold.
Just like petite, i'm also not interest in other gold unit, my interest is only Raichi and mehlis (which i already got mehlis after........** runs -.- *Yes thats double digit*)
My plan still the same, not spending SC until i got raichi..... unless i still haven't got her until end of event then i will be forced to start using SC.
On other hand i guess i can called myself lucky as i got my Ricca on CR-2 2/10 skill...
Edit: Why i keep seeing ppl got black unit within just 5-10 premium roll , when it suppose to be only 3% chance.
The RNG doesn't work like that. I've been playing this game since January of last year, and when I first started, I spent all of my story mission and event 3-star crystals on premium summoning rather than farming the event characters. I forget the exact number of premium summons I did since I started. I only remember doing 4 during Yurina's event over a year ago. I was trying to get the Gold Witch Yuyu, so I would have a key unit at 2-starring Great Magical War (revival events weren't a thing back then), but I got the Gold Rogue Betty instead, so I stopped.
The platinum units I got before I quit a year ago were Witch Adelle (When I started), Princess Lilia (Maribelle's event), Ninja Hina (Echidna's event), and Valkyrie Dahlia (Odette's Event). I got 3 platinum units and 1 black from base summoning: Heavy Armour Jelius (free base summon), Valkyrie Dahlia #2, Mage Grania, and Black Archer Nanaly (was trying to get a silver mage from base summon to CC Mehlis #2 during a 3x synthesis event).
It's the same as doing your free base summon every day and finally getting a silver unit, which would generally take a couple months per silver unit on average. The game doesn't have a counter that goes, 'Oh, you did 50 base summons, better give you a silver unit.' It's more like, 'Oh, here's a couple silver units in close proximity of each other, but I'm gonna make you go through 100 summon dry spells to average it out in the long run'. Getting a silver unit from base summoning is rarer than getting a black unit from premium.
