This thing lags so much shit on Android I'm lucky to get two SBB off back to back without auto. Really wish they'd fix that. It is better on my phone but on the tablet even with everything turned off 1/2 the time it doesn't even recognize I'm selecting or swiping a unit.

Do you have the graphics turned all the way off, zero'ed out the BC drops and item drops? I had to do that for my Nexus and then it was "alright". I'd still get random pauses between BB's 4 and 5 that would cause some issues, but other than that it was fine. I don't have a problem on my iPhone with everything maxed.

I can't play on my tablet at all. It'll randomly crash if I do too many SBB's at once (with everything turned off no less).

I've gotten fast at firing them off with my fingers, but still not nearly as fast as he or auto battle does. A lot of the YouTubers for BF seem to be fast.

I will say that JP runs insanely better (more smooth, and doesn't cause my phone to heat up) than global. I'm not sure why that is, but it also doesn't really explain how fast he goes.

Yeah, all that stuff

I've learned to deal with it and adapt to get them off as fast as possible, but it still occasionally hangs. I also think part of the problem is with the Nexus 7 itself and the touch screen. My version has always been very bad about registering touches and it is almost unusable if it is plugged in and charging.

I've done each one but Selena and Magress using a standard Maxwell type team. Darv for mitigation, Ulkina for healing, Lilly for BC gen. Mostly you need to just read the Reddit thread for that specific GGC but the key thing in most fights is which order to kill / chip down the units during the initial stage. Some of them go bonkers after you down 1 so just make sure you kill them in the correct timing. Selena keeps raping me trying with that team (probably b/c of Darv and Ulkina being fire) and haven't finished up my Thunder team. Haven't even tried Magress yet, been lazy.

Got Maxwell down to under 20% but made a major mistake and accidentally pushed him through to Endless without using Darvanshel so ended up losing 4/6. Pretty sure I could have beat him without that error. Switched out Dilma for Kuhla to go along with Zelnite and some extra on demand BB gen. Have to use her regular BB for it since her SBB clashes with Lilly, or it would be even better.

i think i did lance GGC 1st since most of my good units are fire elements. i think the hardest one was Eze for me. i want to say there was a fight in one of the GGCs that having a def ignore unit helped with immensely, and i think i had brought my 4* zephyr specifically for that fight but can't say for sure if it was that or the trials of the gods. i just watched a couple of walk through videos (i think ushi's) to know what to expect and brought the units i thought would make it easiest to get through them. double maxwell for magress made it pretty much cake walk.

edit:
holy cow i just noticed mifune's stats. now i'm glad i didn't turn him into bb fodder...

edit2:
oh it's just his atk that's good. def and rec suck donkey balls... never mind

It was sometime during the addition of the recording option being implemented / auto battle adjustments. It ruined the game performance even if you disable it.

Meh, a bunch of 18-20 drop check units. I don't care enough. Everyone is freaking out about them, but they're not comparable to anything out of the RS. I don't understand why people get so worked up about this shit. If you've had even a modicum of luck on the RS in the last 3 months, you'll never use any of these units in your squads.

Weiss is only there for the attack debuff. He ends up being a slightly worse fiora/ardin. Not mind blowing but worth getting, plus what else am I going to farm?

Can't argue with those upgrades for farmable units. I still have all mine, mostly still in 2* form though.

I think that's the only reason people are excited. The "what the hell else am I going to do" factor. It's why I've been sitting here at work spamming Bandit of the Desert for 6 hours, working on SBB's for my shitty thunder units for thunder vortex where I can get rewards I don't even want.

Like, I can see Mifune being used on some incredibly specific FH squad to pull in some amazing score that looks super impressive. But that's the extent of it.

These units are good in a world where we ignore the fact that there are tons of free gems so that people can have rare summons somewhat regularly. If that wasn't the case and it was literally F2P only got free units, then yeah, they'd be fucking amazing.

I pulled Rina and Lodin from the thunder unit rate up a few days ago, and have already got them both 6* lvl 100, and i'm working on their BB's.. got Rina at SBB4 and Lodin at BB6 already (he needs fuggin support fodder, lame).. so at least I found something to do for a bit.

I...don't even know what I'm doing in this game anymore. I'm pretty spastic about it the last few weeks. It's basically whatever new thing I get, I get about 90% of the way to maxing out before doing something else.

Unlocked SBB on Ronel (7 SBB) and Grybe (4 SBB) today. Once (if) I get them to 10, my Thunder Vortex team will be maxed out. I also wasted a good amount of time on Saturday unlocking the SBB on my 2nd Zelnite (A), before realizing that 2 Zelnite's for FH was dog shit. So I quit that. I spent a shit load of time getting Sefia to 6* because I heard there might be a rebalance where it's a useful arena unit again. That seems super productive.

In fact, last week I literally just had a goal to evo as many shit units as I could so that my chart of units would be more stacked on the 6* part. That, and with all my honor points stacking up again (168 right now) I'll need something to dump all the crystals and gods into for the next SHS. I've been sitting on Shida's evo materials for a month+ now; a unit that's really only useful for FH.

I wish I had Reed's batch to work on. I can't remember why I didn't spend much time on it (either I was too weak, or was focused on Maxwell, can't remember), but I only have 2 of them, Nevsky and Reed, and they're shit typing.

I feel ya man, sometimes I just let my energy rot for a bit, been spending some of my free gaming time on hearthstone lately, since the xpac came out.
