Yes. Level up that Laario, he's actually pretty decent (especially if he's anima or breaker). I'd recommend Krantz, he'll do EVERYTHING for you.


I yolo'ed and summoned 6 times on the regular gate (4 gems each, global exclusive lead ins, sure):
Belfura 4* Oracle
Zedus 4* Anima
Bonnir 4* Guardian (dupe)
Fang 4* Guardian (dupe)
Agni 4* Greaker (dupe)
Hadaron 4* Lord (dupe)

W/e I got a zedus. Happy I went with Avant as my free choice, as it was a toss up between zedus, griff, and avant.

Also managed to snag all 3 special spheres from the exchange shops (yes, I had over 60k merit points including mail/records). Glad I've got another buffer jewel... one more to convert to an Occult. Should I sit at 5 Occult, or do I look for 10 of these fuckers?

Threw some gems at the full metal alchemist gate thingy and pulled Lucca(L), Libera(Gu), Lebra(Br), Zelha(Gu), Ciara(Or), Andaria(Br), that Dolk(Gu) dude and another Pumqueen. Got enough dudes for a full green team.

Mono-color teams aren't really a thing in this game. Dolk is a super important pull, you can now pick something like griff, avant, chrom for your free unit.

Dolk, Ciara, andaria and semira are a solid team foundation. Level up as much as possible during the 2.5 xp event because you're going to need to get to lvl 200ish to use a full team of 7 stars. Sometime during the anniversary gumi is going to release the god gate, which only has 7* units which will be great for you.

Sent you a friend request as well.

Ya, it doesnt seem like there's any huge advantage to mono colors. I finally made it to the point where I need to put some mild consideration into targeting enemies. Leveling is going pretty quick, right now I'm just trying to focus on getting enough team cost to use all the cool dudes I pulled and level their BBs while they are cheap. I realized after dumping free leveling shit to get Semira to 50 that it's now really expensive to power up her BB.

Thanks for the request.

Ao, What is you're lead doing that is maxing out my teams BBs every turn?

Picking this up from scratch again, picked Vargas as my starter, got Yuuri for free, Lancia and Flora Princess Faris from gates.

Got Marksman Lario, Priest Merith and Geomancer Claris from questing, I think, and a bunch of crystals/gods/frogs filling up my unit slots, are any of these units worth spending crystals/gods/frogs on or should I save them for better ones down the road?

Added everyone on the google sheet, ingame name is the same as my forum name and I have rerolled.org! on my comment.

Added. Rhoa should carry you pretty far. Lario is good, Claris/Merith are shit. Vargas isn't great, Selena is the only real option (though I think starters are Lord type, and you want Anima type [probably]).

Go through and Favorite any "decent" unit, 4 stars or better (maybe even a 3 star). Use your rare summon now as the line up isn't bad, though the global summon a few days ago probably would have been the best.



Also, for anyone new starting:
AutoBattle:
Go into a battle, go into the menu (while IN the battle), and go to settings, from there scroll down to auto battle settings and turn on Enable Brave Burst. You can now autobattle most things (and if you have decent friends, their leads will carry you through the first 5 worlds or so).

Focus on the 3 critical roles: Damage Mitigation, Healing, and Status Cleanse.
Some units fill multiple roles (or all three), the rest are all DPS (with a few "tanks" that do taunting and shit).
Specific Units to help with: Elimo, Krantz, Aurelia.

Check the wiki or reddit or this thread before you get rid of anything that seems "unique".

Gonna focus on getting Zedus up to max, then Golem, Aylut, and maybe Farlon and/or Signas. I'm not even sure who's worth maxing anymore...

Everything is worth leveling for CA cannon fodder. Not worth imping or sphering most of them.

Leveling isn't the problem... it's evo'ing them. I at 250 slots and I keep finding myself ditching evo materials to keep space to run stuff.

I go in batches. Get as many units ready to evo as possible evolve them during vortex events like this, repeat.

Yeah, I've got ~40 units I can evo. Got 3 today so far, going to work on more as I go.

Alright bros, returning casually for lack of better things to do in the gym. No gems to speak of and no units acquired since Bestie's batch. Looks like the last squad I used was Bestie (lead), Aurelia, Shera, Hardon & Dion. Other premier (as of the time I quit a few months ago) units include Deimos, Balgran, Ultor, Ruby, Medina, Elimo, Oruro, Nemethgear, Yuura, Selena, Claire, Raaga, Kikuri. Altri.

I also have a lot of units that I seem to recall having impending 7 star updates: Michele, Exvehl, Melchio, Lunaris, Tridon (7* was available when I quit, just never bothered since I had Deimos), Signas, Farlon, Reeze, Ragshelm, Shera.

Anybody have squad suggestions? I'll slowly do the research myself but any tips that'll give me a headstart would be great.

Thanks for the advice, went ahead and did a couple of rare summons: 2x Metal Forger Chrome
He is apparently pretty good so I'm gonna focus on him, but is there any point in having 2 around?

He's one of the best leads, so a second can help in places like grand quests and trials where you can run multiple squads.

What type are they? There isn't much of a point in the long end of the, but right now he's better than most of the other units.

Right now it's going to be hard for you to level him (but hold onto him anyways), but he eventually becomes a pretty great sub and good leader. Once you have the ability, max level him, evo him to 6*, and sell him for Merit Points (a 5th type of currency).

edit: Listen to Ishad! I had no idea he was that good... so use two!




Explainer on currencies:
Gems: Currency of Note, this is what pays for extra unit space, extra item space, continues (lol don't ever do continues), stamina/arena/raid refills (pretty bad use also), and rare summons. Save these if you can, but unit space and item space are pretty worthwhile.
Gold: Fairly useless, but used to pay for leveling units(fusing) and evolving units (evo).
Karma: Fairly useless, but used to pay for making spheres.
Brave Points: from doing daily tasks. It's a free summon every month (don't use the points for anything else). Found under "Menu" -> "Brave Pts & Rewards".
Merit Point: from the achievement store, it's not too hard to acquire these, as there are usually 5 daily tasks that are a bit harder to do than the Brave points. These can be used for a ton of stuff, but most importantly there are some rare or harder-to-make spheres that show up (also some units). Save these (50k cap).

Get that Tridon up! Make an arena squad with Michele once you 7* her. Melchio is pretty damn good now also.


Both of you need to log in every day and sign up for what unit you want!

Thanks for all the advices guys, very helpful.

My chromes are lord (the first one I got and I blew my crystals on him so he is now pretty high lvl) and breaker.

What are some good options for the unit of choice?

I would recommend krantz or dolk if you don't have a mitigator. Dolk is probably better for a new player.

When should i expect to be able to do vortex dungeons? I assume they are mostly for evo mats but what else do they have?
