Tales of Link

Ingots are better farmed on normal. It's about 60 stamina/ingot on normal, and only slightly higher at like 55 stamina/ingot on easy.

The 4* unit isn't too hot either. Asumilla is the real prize from the event.

They really needed a Lippy mission for this crossover to run for extra ingots and UR armor chances.

Yeah, I learned HoH was shit for ingot farming first day. Reddit listing 20% was fucking bogus. Been doing Easy since, and yeah, about 60 stamina per ingot feels right. I have a UR++ of each weapon and 3 armors so far, with stamina thrown at other misc events as they've popped. Though, I've been kinda lazy the past couple weeks in not wasting any.

Just annoying because I don't tangibly see a path forward. Everyone in my A-Team has useful passives learned. Key weapons wouldn't be an improvement. Don't have the hero stones to 10 pull, nevermind a guarantee at anyone good. I could farm more SR upgrade mats to throw at the armor stuff like SA gives, but we go back to the problem I mentioned earlier with the HP gain not really offsetting Kratos hitting so fkn hard. Obviously, I feel like part of the problem lies in the fact not all guardians are represented, thus something like a 25% Wind damage reduction isn't possible at the moment.

Feeling like if another mobile game does snag my attention, I'll probably just drop this one.

Asumilla that good?

Because that Heathcliff fight was straight bullshit.

Did an UR Dark Repulser (just to have an earth element sword) and the thrust weapon. Wish I had learned that about ingots earlier, for sure.

Ive gotten nothing but 3* Asuna this morning. Im happy with my 2 of each weapon and 3 armors done, because not having a Lippy mission for ingots and then Asuna's Extreme fight being stupid hard really put a dent into this event.

Asumilla is good because its a very cheap 2x boost that stacks with tile and type boosts if youre lucky to have all 3. It also gives a very cheap damage boost if you're running 2x Barbatos. Asumilla and a 35 tile change is only 60 LC and nets you 18x damage without being tile/unit dependent.

I'm kind of where Arus is. Game is getting a *little* repetitive and restrictive. I know im better off than most, but going 0/120 and 600 stones used without a featured unit in my last 2 major banner attempts (GE and Anniversara) does leave a little of a bitter taste. The New Years banners may be my last hurrah and if nothing useable comes from that will probably shift this into a more casual experience.

Hey, not sure where else to post this, so I decided to post here. I was looking online for names of all the "Tales of" games. Thinking about trying them all, in order. I noticed the first one is called "Tales of Phantasia" released in 1995.

I have a PS2/PS3/PS4/PSVita. It says here it's on GBAdvance/PSP/SNES/PS1. I looked online for PS1 copies but don't really see anything. Is PSVita backwards-compatible for PSP games? Looking for the cheapest/easiest way to obtain a copy with what I have access too.

Closing down the end of March, if anyone cares.

Draw going where 1 hero stone will net you a 5* per. So, I guess if you want to throw some time away at a poorly balanced game, have at it.

I haven’t touched his game in a long while. Doesn’t surprise me though TBH. Was fun early on but even back then it was extremely difficult to get anywhere without dumb luck or maximum BIS, sometimes both.

It became way too grindy in the end. One of the benefits of stuff like Record Keeper or FEH is that "characters" are done and ready pretty quickly to be able to use.

Tales games have a habit of needing min/max to complete some content reliably, and this bit into that hard with the requirements to unlock skills. Coupled with the fact that the gacha was just under average in terms of forgiving to the player and for some events you needed one very specific character skill to complete it without RNG and S/L abuse made it a chore to play.

The story was fantastic though, and I may log back in just to breeze through it.

Tales is just not a medium that translates to mobile games I feel like...

My account fucked up when that Tekken collab was going on. Never made a transfer code so I just deleted and moved on. The grind is what kept me away mostly.

I do miss all my milla cards. They literally made way way too many units of her it's wild.
