Yeah Flora isn't a broken hero or anything, but I prefer her over Cecia for pushing AFK stages and PvP. They're pretty similar, but I find the extra damage and extra bodies to be very noticeable at times.

Just wish her ult wind-up animation wasn't so long.

You can disable ult anims in the options. There’s also a setting to have them play once per login which I like.

It's not the ult cutscene, but the actual animation of the bulbsprites hefting the flower mace, jumping into the air, twirling, then slamming it down.

whats the strategy for stockpiling diamonds. should i be blowing them in 10pulls as i go? try to bank as many as i can to get as many copies of the guaranteed hero as i can?

Preference aside, stick to 10 pulls of the second banner to fill out your wish list characters first. Generally ignore the event banner as they will get merged into the common pool and can be wishlisted then if you want them. Every day you get an 85 diamond discount on one ticket for the main banner, and every 10 pull is discounted 300, so that will add up over time and get your characters built faster.

It will change if someone OP shows up in the event banner but so far Vala and Florabel have just been really solid and only worth it for whales or if you really like them.

It's so damn...literal.
If you have at least 1 ticket, clicking the recruit 10 button on the second banner lets you buy the other tickets at the discounted 270/per

right, i think my question is more along the lines of, should i be stockpiling diamonds so i can pull 6+ copies of the event banner at once, or just blow through 10pulls as i get them?

Using diamonds for your afk instant rewards is a very good use of them imo. The purple stuff is a massive roadblock in leveling and if you get stuck at a certain resonance level your only other option to increase the power of your characters is to pull for dupes, which gets way more expensive then spending 150 diamonds a day to accelerate the leveling process.

I blew through pulls as soon as I had enough tickets/diamonds to do a 10-pull because I wanted to unlock the stargaze station and start stocking up on the orbs I need for that

As I've progressed through the story, the lack of polish is really starting to show. Entire untranslated paragraphs, text that very often doesn't match the voice lines... and I have to say, I'm starting to get suspicious that certain characters are voiced by AI, because they have this very even delivery, not quite deadpan or monotone, but incapable of emphasizing the right words in a sentence, frequently even struggling with exclaiming or questioning tones. It could just be amateur VAs or an incompetent voice director, but Lyca and Lorsan in particular trigger an uncanny valley effect for me, in a way that some of the unimportant NPCs with sketchy voice acting don't.
Have you gotten to Chapter 3 yet? I'm pretty sure Temesia is also AI. it's the clipping between words, makes everything sound stitched together instead of one normal breath

I'm about to start it tonight. Had to take a few days break from the story because listening to Lyca and Lorsan deadpan for hours on end was chipping away at my sanity.

Once you have 25 Supreme+ characters, you'll be able to upgrade them to Paragon level 1. There are 4 Paragon levels. It's probably not going to be a thing for F2P players for years.

Make sure you take him off your wishlists and save. I got lucky and capped out my Celia through pulls and arena shop, and then got yet another copy of her from the "one of every hero randomly over time" event so that will sit there for a very long while.

Still having a swell time with this. I bought my usual Welkin-equivalent/battlepass, and told myself if I make it to the end of the Welkin period and was still having a good time I'll get the growth bundle thing. Seems like a fair price all told for something I've sunk a good amount of time into so far. Very enjoyable 20-30 minutes a day kinda thing.

Honor Duel reports:
- Mirael artifact: she gets a huge kamehameha ultimate. Then you can get 25% Lightbearer ultimate damage perk. And the artifact that gives her a free ultimate cast on starting the battle. The same artifacts refunds her energy if she gets kills. So I ended up 2-shotting teams right out the gate. Stupid build.

I want to say I got some from getting to legendary in arena but honestly I might be making that up. Just know I’ve acquired 50ish somehow. I think you might be able to get some through weekly guild chests too if you take the ascension option?

Yeah, legendary first-time rewards offers some, getting top 100 in dream realm offers some, etc.

I’ve been letting the auto run for forty minutes this is a terrible grind when it starts with the double battles. I think it’s gained about forty levels too.

I thought I was done with the main story with Vaduso Mountains but now there's another area I'd missed west of the main lightbearer town with another 8 areas and monsters going above 200.

The AFK battles are weird with the doubles starting in the 700s like you said. I'll tab back over and notice I lost, make a minor positioning change, then go another 40 levels on autopilot. Which means I could push a lot farther with manual play. I'm closing in on AFK 900 and resonance 190 by tomorrow.

M+ Smokey in boss fights where you can use him is a terror. He’s slightly out damaging my Supreme Odie in the current primal battle.

I finally got the Eironn comp done (not even with Damien yet) and it is as good as advertised. Went from 1015 to the end of AFK stages in a speedrun and cleared the remainder of the story content with ease.

Jinnigan posted:

That's the joke. You don't really. All mine went into Eironn +10 essentially.

Edit: Oh wait I did Odie +10 first which is absurd.

A couple a week drop from the guild box I think. Or top 100 in dream realm every day (whale only or new server basically). The devs are stingy with them to milk the whales.

Cecia does so much damage compared to anyone else in my roster.

I’ve been able to get up to ~815 with this as my main comp, but it’s certainly slowing down and I’m looking for suggestions of a better setup.

try dropping antandra for odie and using the shield artifact instead, that's basically what her purpose is, to shield cecia until she can get her ult off, but the ironskin??? artifact kinda does the same thing, the extra dps from odie will help clean up a bunch of stragglers

Swap Rowan for an epic Brutus to eat the opening hits and that's the team I've gotten to 908 with, using the confining artifact. I'll have to give ironwall and more DPS a try too.

That's about where I am at too and I've also had a lot of success with Brutus + other tank to eat up however many seconds his ability lasts. I swap around supports depending on level, picking two between Rowan/Koko/Smokey.

Unsolicited advice but you really need to start building your Korin and Marilee (especially) for Dream Realm.
