I feel like in your position Griff is a good hedge. He's a damage upgrade over Zenia, gives bulk, and is a solid sub if you get a Dolk/Krantz with avant. He has lower damage for fh/fg than zedus, but would be better lead in rc6 if you don't pull those units.

I agree with your reasoning here. My only concern regarding crit leaders is that I don't know how crit resistant bosses are in RC6 (only thing I know about RC6 is that it is going to be fucking brutal.)


I put off registering yesterday, but I just did today a few minutes ago. It seems that we can still change our minds on unit of choice until December 14th (don't take my word on that, just what I've read in a couple different places)....so I feel less pressured to get my pick right just now.

Leave it to Gumi to turn what should be one of the all time best presents the game could give you into an unpleasant chore.

I'm not sure if there is still the deadline to register today (if there ever was? this whole thing has been a confusing mess of information and hoops to jump through), but if so, anyone who has put it off as late as I have should probably get it done asap.

I put in a request in for Krantz. Kinda sucks blowing the gift on something as uninteresting as a mitigator but oh well, rip Shera.
hah, I feel the same about my pick. I'm in that weird place where there is downside to everybody. Krantz is still boss as fuck though. Hard to go wrong with him for us unlucky bastards who never got him in the first place.

In the end I basically closed my eyes, spun around three times and pointed at one of my top picks at random

After looking at every option from every angle I could think of, it still isn't going to matter much because I'm running un-optimal, overlaps-all-over, gaps-galore groups, no matter what unit I picked. The worst part is no matter what unit I picked, a part of me is always going to wish I had picked one of the others. First World Problems.

If this had been 2 months ago before Gazia, I'd have picked Krantz at ludicrous speed and thought it was 20 Christmases all wrapped up into one I'd have been so happy.

Krantz would have solved SO many problems for me with this choice, but ONLY if I already had him. I feel like this choice would have been 1,000x easier for people who had a Krantz in their pocket already. Anyways.

Sorry to interrupt the Srs Bsn discussion with noob shit but what exactly does spark do and should I save my BB frogs or just use them on my best guys. Same question for Imps, use them on my best guys or save them?

Burst frogs should only be fed when your unit is at its max evo. Use frogs in the 7-10 bb level of fodder isn't cutting it. You won't regret feeding your imps to Dolk so go right ahead.

Spark multiplies damage and adds a little extra bc produced.
In general dmg= (unit base damage)*(1+sbb%+atk%+sbb boost%)*(crit damage modifier)*(spark modifier)*(elemental weakness modifier)

Spark is when two units attack at the same time.

Hmm, just spent my 3 tickets on medal rush summons. Dion, Duran (err, never heard of this guy but seems shitty except for maybe arena) and...Krantz (L). No idea wtf to get for my summon of choice now.

You've got all the subs you need, you can pick a damage lead like avant, chrom, zedus or griff. Today is the last day to register

Alright, thanks for the heads up. I only had 4 of the 17 units in the medal rush summon, so I did another pull and got a Nadore. Seems alright - time to stop, though. 3 of 4 were new, Krantz is good, and I don't wanna exhaust gems while the new maps/achievements are giving me a steady flow. Already out of tickets.

What should I be spending my achievement points on, or rather what should I not spend it on?
Occasionally they'll put up spheres that costs between 25-30k. Some of them are worth it. Legend stones if you need one to evolve a unit and imp keys. Buy nothing else.

Put in a ticket or something?
Yeah, I'll give it a try.

Beat Xie Jing last night. Annoying as fuck even though I seized the opportunity to cheat with a Gazia friend - took like 8 tries. Decided to attempt Gazia just to see what I was up against and ...wtf, really? First try, wasn't even close.

So I came back with no mitigators, immediately chose Krantz for free units; proceeded, as prophecied, to pull a Krantz; forgot to change preference to meet deadline; Alim releases 7 star Shera. I have a Shera; got Gazia.

There are no words.

Lulz lulz lulz.

Watch me pull an avant the second I decide to use my summons and also join the "summon your requested unit" crowd because I'm laughing.

What's the new arena meta? Tons of hits so you kill the first round and can safely ignore the "extra rules"?

I've been running my michele squad, and I'm loathe to change anything until I hit 500 wins (450 now) because I want dem Achievos.

This is my squad now:
Selena (Lexida+Halloweiner sphere)
Quaid (Buffer + Halloweiner sphere)
Michele [Leader] (Harp of Aurelia + Duel Fragment)
Griel (Legwand + Omni Gizmo)
Will (Prized Mercy + Paskuan Enhancer)

The spheres for Will are because he's a raider, though I'm open to options (using my only Sacred Treasure on Krantz). Selena almost always nukes an opponent before the anyone else gets in. Traditionally

I have a Hadaron and some other units, but I don't have any idea what to put for sphere or other units. Someone said Irvis (which seems odd since her SBB has no attacks on it).


edit: Urge to Summon rising... can we change out free-unit choice if we happen to summon it?

One hell of a rateup. 5 summons: Zergel, Kira, Griff, Libera, Ivris. Bonus unit Chrome

Don't even care that I've got like 6 gems left. Still another quest world to complete anyway. I do wish Griff was Avant, though =p

Haha holy shit. Apparently rate ups were terrible yesterday and people were reporting better rates today, so I did 5. Kira, Charla, Lilith, libera, Avant and griff in the gift box. Fucking jackpot.
