lawl two gates least they don't seem op ridiculous to Zeruiah level so may not really bother

[Kachiko]

Ya, finding a hard time justifying 100 gems to get one of them, especially if they have such negative drawbacks that prevent them from being too useful in good content. -50% Def or -50% Def/Rec.....

Still, it's a P2P game, so it isn't meant for the scrubs, but even then, why would I pay to get them? Suppose we'll see when people use them.

New Sphere's, with our update:

• Magical Device - FG4 reward - +150% BB Mod, 10 BC after taking 10,000 damage, +30% ATK/DEF
• Wicked Device - FG5 reward - 7% Curse/Paralysis/Poison + 10% Injury/Sick/Weak when attacked, 2-4 BC when attacked, 30% BB fill rate
• Sacred Longbow - 200m FH Pts accumulated - 4 BC/turn, 4-6 BC when attacked, 2500-3000 HP/turn, 40% chance to heal for 40% of damage taken

Hope you've been grinding FH points.

[BerenTebogo]

Randolph's LS is pretty great though...combined with the fact that he's basically a tweaked Hadaron.

Betting Ravena takes cake as best ST nuker for a while too. I'm not gonna go crazy but I'll probably do 5-10 summons.

[Kachiko]

[Tyrath]

So you have to pull over 5 times to even get a specific rate up only for the unit. Ridiculous.

[Nitsuki]

Bro, fuck all these units, where are my 7* elza, lilith, ramna, and ophelia?!?!?

[Hushigoshi]

Probably next week with the maintenance.

[BerenTebogo]

Got Nadore on first Randolph pull.

Fuck. Yes.

[Tyrath]

If I had to pick one to do a few pulls for. Who?

[Hushigoshi]

Neither. The next JP batch we get is a fucking powerhouse.

[Tyrath]

I had 3 tickets I wanted to blow.

2 dupes. New Limera. I'll take it.

[BerenTebogo]

Neither. The next JP batch we get is a fucking powerhouse.

Besides gildorf, can any of them hold a candle to Rudolph's LS?

50% HP, BB gauge rate up, 120% ATT, 100% DEF/REC. He's Haile on crack.

[Hushigoshi]

Besides gildorf, can any of them hold a candle to Rudolph's LS?

50% HP, BB gauge rate up, 120% ATT, 100% DEF/REC. He's Haile on crack.

Sure, while Rudolph has a great LS, for Raids/Trials/GGC he is utterly lackluster as a unit and doesn't offer anything utility wise to the party other than his LS. As a damage dealer, Hadaron does the same thing, but better, and without the defense penalty.

Rudolph stands out for Arena and Challenge Arena. But is it worth it to potentially dump 100 gems to get a unit specifically for Arena?

Using Haile for example; she's got a great LS for sure. But she also shines as a subunit and offers great utility through her BB (BC fill/turn, 130% stat boost, 50% ares effect) and her SBB (8 BC instant fill, 50% Atk/Def down, and 200% BB mod).

From Girudorf batch (next batch we'll get) stand out leader skills are...

Fire unit (Girudorf) gives +40% HP/atk, +75% Spark damage
Water unit (Kurausu) +40% HP, +50% Ares, -25% BB Cost Reduction
Earth unit (Mysterio) gives +30% HP/atk, and an additional 100% atk buff when damaging status inflicted foes
Dark unit (Maare) gives +80% atk, +100% Spark damage

against better judgement I did a single pull; got Korzan. I'll take it; Korzan's a beast of a lead for Shusui farming.

[BerenTebogo]

Those are good points. I'd never do 100 gems worth though either way.

I'm still probably going to do 4-5 total pulls because I will be in Legendary CA next week and I do actually want at least Reign Alpha orb, so I would benefit from having him as CA lead. More importantly, I am missing a LOT of global exec units cuz I haven't been playing too long. I don't have Korzan/Zenia/Avani/Mikael/others.

But yeah I'd never go for the 100% pull for them, I do think that is pretty crazy and definitely not worth it. At least I'm 1/1 on useful units with Nadore already.

Unrelated: FH23 question

Thinking Avant (Dand/WDB) lead + Avant (dand/WDB) friend + Zeruiah (Occult/Raven whatever) + Reud (Heavnly/Regalia) + Chrome (???/???) + ???

Last spot: Reis for Crit buffs is what I use for FG. Would that be wise here as well? I do usually Blighted/Phantom for Reis. What is general good orb setup for Chrome? Low hit count so WDB or Vorpal with Impiety or an ATK buff? I could replace Reud with Nadore or something for ATK buff but I've had good success with double spark blanket and I've read that past a certain point +ATK gets pretty large diminishing returns. Maybe Vermillion or Rize for nuking? I also have Breaker Savia who, with elgif and orbs, has around 9500 ATK if it's just about nuking.
