Tales of Link

[Classikmage]

Anyone else playing this game?



Been casually messing with it for a couple of weeks and it's a fun little game.

They give you so many log in bonuses as a new player. In 2 weeks I've gotten enough LP to max out a whole party of characters. 2 5* and 7 4* characters in group atm. And enough Hero Stones for 2 10-character banner pulls.

They have a beginner pull banner that gurantees you 1 random 5* character.

I got this guy:



His battle skill at the bottom is actually pretty OP. It's actually really easy to get a 9-hit combo on the boss of a battle and almost 1-shot it with that ability.

One week later I pulled off the Tales of Zestiria banner and got this guy:



Pretty nice Arte when it procs, I have to get him through more battles so I can level up it's proc rate.

Who else is playing this? Let's get another BG group together!! =D

I just started playing it recently, thanks to Kirin for recommending it in the FFRK thread! Currently @118 stones and saving for the godeater event, i'll edit with party details in a second.

Edit: Currently running a mix of all types. Hoping once Godeater comes I can consolidate my group to one type, all my slashing types are 3* for the most part

Ldr is [Fervent Swordsman] Kor (he has ATK to 1.6x when at 50%+ HP), Subs are [Blademagic Master] Kratos (got him in a single pull for Zestria gacha, so best 4* pull ever, his 50% dmg to hp Arte saves my ass so much) and [Master of Space-Time] Cress.

Only 5* I have are the two I got from the beginner (Cress mentioned above and my favorite character in Symphonia, [Chosen of Mana] Colette), I also got another 5* from a YOLO single from Zestria after pulling Kratos, which is [Assault Sniper] Pascal.

Since we're cross-recommending, you guys should check out Granblue Fantasy <_<. We could use more BG people in the guild.

I've been meaning to make a big post for this, but work and middle of a move has made it difficult to format a big informative post. Game is a mix of Puzzle + Dragons and FFRK almost.

I can post it piecemeal here and there, and then if someone doesn't mind editing it into the main post that would be cool.

The ToL reddit has recently put together a wiki with a lot of information that Global is lacking vs the JP game. There are some signifigant nerfs from the JP version, but so far there have been almost no skipped events (including collaborations) compared to the JP game, just stuff moved around 1 month early or 1 month late, etc.

This is a great time to start the game, they're starting a login celebration for 500k downloads with Hero Stones (gacha currency), you've got a few days left on a Sorey Soul Arena (week long collection quest for 4-5* characters, related mystic arte, herbs, and hero stones), and were in the middle of a Tales of Zestiria The X/Tales Of Fest event.

Usually run Idol master Leia as my lead. Sometimes have the Cress that ups attack with 3 or more characters in a link. Have about 9 friend spots left.

Played this during Brave Frontier collaboration so I got a nice head start. I play it on and off, depending on what is going on in the other stuff like BF/FFRK.

Was a day 1 person when it launched but busy with other things so I had to quit playing for a good while.

For those like me that didn't bother logging into FB (Had to make an account for FF BE to link to) and voting on their anniversary iconic hero thing on it for the free hero stone, they're also going to give a free 5* version of the hero chosen in the vote to those who voted as well, so make or log into FB and vote so you get a free 5* hero

So how did everyone fare in their GE pulls? Spent 3x 10 and only got 1 5*, thankfully it was GE Judith (I know she's the worst of the 4, but god dammit, for a new player like me with only 1 HP/ATK leader, she's going to be MVP ldr for GE wind team), unfortunately got 1x ticket from each pull Still have Chapter 5 to finish and 6 and 7 to work on so should have enough for 2-3 pulls before this leaves.

Edit: Oh forgot to add, my bad pulls got made up by both my normal and wind summon Guardian pulls, got lucky and got the 5* wind DEF guardian from the first 10 tickets we got today and got lucky last week and got both the 5* support Guardians from regular pull as well as most of the 4* ones.

I actually havnt pulled yet. Ive been knee deep in FFRK orbfest and have really only logged on to die to Ivar and not allow my stamina to go to waste.

Really torn on whether or not to pull here. 300+ stones to use for some REALLY great characters, but I dont have a Rainbow lead to take advantage of them right now. An anniversary event would near guarantee we get the red dress Anniversary Sara with HP/Atk to 1.5 for all characters, but it would probably only be announced after this gacha expires.

Trouble...trouble trouble trouble.

Edit: And I immediately regret that action. 300 stones down and only one 5* to show for it. Richard.

Edit 2: And it got worse. 10 GE tickets, 2 Judith. Urgh.

Sorry to hear that Here I was thinking my luck sucked. Hopefully it evens out by you getting massive pulls in FFRK to make up for the bad luck.

Yeah, really bummed. Ive got 2 GE tickets left hanging now and I can spend what I get on another 50 pull and hopefully get 3 or start saving for this possible Anniversary event and finally try and gain the rainbow lead I desperately need now.

When FFRK orbfest is finally over, I can go back to grinding passives and using weapon keys to get people up to snuff. Probably going to put together a patchwork "endgame" team with Traveler Sorey as a lead (only 1.3 HP/Atk though) and fill in spots with who I have. 4 arte healers helps a lot, but I was hoping to replace a Kratos or two with Edna or add in a much needed delay arte with Reid.

[Ayn]

The best friend and I made a pact to uninstall this game if the God Eater pulls screwed us over. I was hoping for Reid.

He got Veigue as his first pull, then Edna from tickets.

I got shit from pulls, Edna from tickets. 1 ticket left.

..So now we have to keep it installed. I was meh on Edna until he broke down her stats.

Honestly, friend deserved it. He normally has TERRIBLE luck on these games.

Also, Edna's my leader now.

You're welcome.

Well finally finished all of Chapter 5-7 and managed to get enough stones for 2 more 50s, got only 1 5* and it was [Seeker of Heroes] Reala (good for me cause I only had 1 HP/ATK unit for Slash and Bash, so now I can use a Slash and Spell team now). So out of 250 stones, got 2 5* and it was what I just mentioned and GE Judy.

Also got exactly 5 tickets (1x ticket per pull unfortunately) so I was able to do my GE 5* pull and got....



Game gave me a happy birthday Gacha present since she was who I was hoping to get the most from this banner, now I hope FFRK will give me a present as well with Lucky pull and 100 gem tonight.....

[Ayn]

It's ok Robert, I pulled a Dancing Dagger for both of us.

Go forth and conquer.

And grats on the Edna! Got the LP to level her up?

Ty, was very happy since she or Reid were what I was gunning for and I only have a 4* Kratos as my only vamp unit. Yeah I got enough LP, ran a quick Key of Darkness to get her and some of my other units leveled, gonna try tomorrow to burn through HoH bow and staves to get them some decent weapons for GE collab on Fri then if I have time i'll run a key of that 1 kill = 5 kill stage to unlock some of their passives.

Picked this up the other day. I'm kind of undecided on it. Progression is the farthest from what I can call linear with the ability basically max a few characters once you can access your gift box, but then some bosses wind up having so much HP that you just gotta hope they don't have some mass targeting FU move you can't outheal. I did the beginner events, then some of this aragami stuff, but now it just seems like I'm stalled into upgrading weapons if and only if things drop to sacrifice. And then they force you to level them again if you +1 'em. Then there're the 15+ stamina fights, at least in some events, where you gotta wonder how much people are whaling to beat.

Oh well. :/

[Karbuncle]

I played it for a while but without getting real lucky on 5* Pulls (4*, even ++ are worthless in comparison), the harder points of the game are just impossible without dumb luck. I eventually quit playing, also due to lack of premium currency making actually getting 5* upgrades increasingly difficult.

They're generous with the armor/weapons stuff though, and the weekly challenge things are nice, just got boring after a while is all.

[Kirin]

I'm doing alright on God Eater weapons drops so far despite only farming on HoH. I have about 2 SR copies of each weapon right now, but lacking U and U+ upgrade mats.

Might take a day and just use Weapon and Malik keys to get my passives set and try to start farming Chaos. Was able to get all 3 major guardians from the draw with tickets, so with some trial and error hopefully I can bypass the SR phase entirely going forward.
