(+) Yeah! (+)

You can do assists on the raids, which doesn't cost AP to do. Just have to watch your...RP? I don't know what the aid meter is called.

My Sorey has decent attack atm, not incredible but he's out preforming Stahn since I don't have a decent fire Memoria for him yet that's attack focused.

This is borderline impossible unless your Stahn is REALLY gimped. Stahn has one of the highest Atk values in the game. Is your Sorey awakened or something?

---

Don't want to call this a "heads up" since I don't want to encourage it, but if you were someone who is eyeballing any of the monthly gem packs, today and maybe tomorrow would be the last day to grab those before the month turnover in case you wanted to make it a regular thing.

Stahn and Sorey are both awakened. The Gaius Memoria is just THAT BAD for attack power even with both the type and weapon match. He's embarrassing right now.

I thought you were supposed to have 9x of the same weapon type in your sunstones?

---

That's optimal, but if you're comparing 9 of the same weapon type but a bunch of them aren't leveled at all, versus a mix of weapon type but they're all leveled up, the latter is superior. It's not long term viability, I just haven't put much effort into leveling up units specifically for the grid yet. Waiting for the 1/2 AP event for Memoria to do so.

Basically, the endgame is to have all of your Substone units the same weapon type, and then the next step is same weapon AND same element, a much more difficult feat.

---

Do you not have a better Memoria for Leon than that? It doesn't even match his element. That may be part of why you think he's so underwhelming! (although I agree he's overrated)

No, I have absolute shit for dark types, both in SRs and Rs. I had Emil on him, but after messing around I vastly prefer the evasion Rokuro's level 70 Memoria offeres to the slightly higher damage of a level 40 Emil Memoria.

I'm trash for light type Memoria, too, other than that crazy good SSR one from the guild summon I managed to get that's sitting on Estelle.

There's a chance I had something decent in Rs I could of used before I made the dumb mistaking sharding tons of them.

---

Oh, wait, I have enough silver medals to buy Judas from the exchange!

---

YEAAAH that's better. Put some adornment on it to make up for the 6000 lost HP, now he's at 3600ish.

I need to do more adornment, too.

What's actually the best way to get adornment stones? I feel like almost my entire stock was from the forest event.

---

Phantom Tower, certain 'Free' rewards, randomly getting them from Guild summons and such. They're definitely in limited supply though.

---

Hit the weekly cap on medals and still not getting the mats you need =(

---

OK I'm gonna have to put Presea on Stahn. She's definitely the highest attack from a fire SR or R that has an ability that will actually work with him. Plus, I've gotten 3 of her so I can get the stone to 60.

---

Man the game really doesn't want to give me dupes. Got an SSR from the 5 summon tickets at level 18 battle pass. Got a Yuri so I think I'm up to 13 SSRs total with only 1 dupe. Guess it's a nice problem to have for versatility

I've gotten pretty lucky with my SR summons, less so with my SSR summons.

---

You can trade in rares for shards to get more adornment stones... but other than that, the options seem few atm

---

God, just BARELY squeezed in that floor 25 win.

Shame the Kratos Memoria is like the least compatible Memoria for Estelle ever, lol.

If I can get a DPS Light SSR I'll be fucking set. Don't know if I want that or an Earth SSR more.

---

Lol, the next Phantom Tower seemed scary until I realized that Misella literally only heals Kanata, even if he's at full health.

---

Adding to the anime age discussion - just checked, and Aegis is freaking 18? The guy who is the leader of all the knights of an entire kingdom? That's ridiculous even by anime standards.

---

Spamming the arena now to get the battle pass rewards :S

---

Either someone is hacking or the game is fucked up.

Keep joining raids that are showing as 59+ mins left and full health yet they die basically instantly when I join. They are only hard raids but hard still has 100k+ worth of contribution and I'm barely getting 2 turns in.

I'm pretty sure someone has mentioned this already, but how do the arena battle scale up for the battle pass? I'm in tier 13, and I'd like to figure out if it is worth it to reset the arena tickets.

---

Dammit, floor 28 just isn't gonna happen unless I get an earth SSR. I can. Get so close too, then everyone starts dying at the same time.

10 to 14
10 to 15
15 to 16
15 to 17
15 to 18
15 to 19
20 to 20

So worst case you need 100 battles which is 20 refreshes / 800 gleamstones. You get 800 gleamstones for getting 19. So yes it's worth it for you since you break even on stones but would get all the summon tickets

Yeah I wasn't going to spend at the end, only to realize that ai was actually going to lose gleams tones by not spending them. Same with the prestige placement, if you can comfortably get yourself up a tier there's a good chance you'll end up net positive in stones from the rewards.

---

The other thing to keep in mind is that because of how arena resets work, it's actually permanent gains you are getting. Like it isn't just the difference between say 400 and 600 gleamstones this season, it's your starting position for next season too. So if you never refresh maybe you get 400 this week and 400 next week. If you do refresh you get 600 this week and then because of the elevated start, you would get 600 next week with the same amount of work.

So it's definitely worth it

Also I still have to do 34 arena battles myself. Might just auto them all and not worry about winning or losing

Thank you! I've got some arena grinding to do

---

3 SR+ tickets is worth at least 1000 Gleamstones. Absolutely get it if you can.

---

I can't wait for 3 not repedes...

---

Jude get. Never been impressed by him tho

---

Actually let's do some math. Standard summon costs 250 gleamstones. The rates for are:

30% SSR or SR
70% R

If you were to pull 10 times in a row (ignoring the guaranteed SR), you would on average get 7 Rs and 3 SSRs/SRs, for 2500 gleamstones. So yeah, get the battle pass tickets.

---

Well damn, looks like ya convinced me tp go ham on arena later.

Whens it end?

---

Not complete sure with schedule stuff still being wonky in Crestoria. I would ASSUME you have until tonight's maintenance.

---

oh snap I just got SSR Stahn from my 110k Event Pt regular Summon Ticket

with Misella and Luke that makes my 3rd SSR Fire hrmm... and with Luke & Asbel that makes my 3rd SSR Sword-type hrmmmm

---

Been wiki diving.

Currently, there are no dark units with a heal, and surprisingly no water units with a heal. Dark is one thing since you're not getting any resistances with mono Dark, but they're going to need to add in a water one sooner rather than later.

My roomate picked Luke and I want him so bad.

I am desperate for AoE.

---

Yeah I wish I started Luke instead of Lloyd at this point since my current team is Lloyd, Luther, Cress (my only 3 SSRs) and Jade. No AOE between them. I've rolled two of Lloyd and Cress at this point too, which is nice since I've been able to ascend them but doesn't really matter since I'm not close to the level cap anyway (Lloyd is my highest currently at lvl 40)

---

What are the best things to get from the event shop?

---

for AoE I've also got Chronos and Kanata! I've mentioned before but god damn I love getting a 44-hit Combo off Chronos MA to start (11-hit * 4 enemies), then Kanata's AoE brings it to 68 (6-hit * 4 enemies, 24 total)

... I haven't been using my Luke much yet but yeah I should really bring him in, he's got a 20-hit MA and his AoE gives another 21 (7-hit * 3 enemies)

already as-is no arena has survived my long enough to take a full-powered AoE Chronos arte so geez yeah

---

Alright I've officially gotten every single SR from the summons EXCEPT for Repede.

What is that luck lmao

I use repede in my subs currently with anise. I don't think he's very good though

Definitely prioritize Memoria. After that, higher cost ascension materials. The lower rarity ascension materials (they're in order) are no a big deal to get. Stuff like leveling materials for characters and Memoria are just a bonus for if you get everything else.

---

FINALLY took down floor 28. Leveled an SR Farah up up 80 to and leveled hear heal to level 5. That plus 2 Wildfire characters scraped me by.

Then Floor 29 was a first try cakewalk because I have an absuredley good set of 3 wind SSRs for it, lol. I even almost got the 100k damage challenge.

Time for 30...very worried!

---

I'm sad I sharded a Rokuro early without realizing the godliness of wildfire and that he is a user. Just getting around to tower from stage 15 to now 25 and boy my lvl 90 Emil's Wildfire sure is a help to get through everything

Do Wildfires stack like I see in Raids and how fire enemies get stacks of fire on me sometimes?

oh hes not very good no, I have him fully awakened but I want to at least buff up his memoria since its the best thing about him lol

---

I did it!

Took 4 tries. Realized I shouldn't be feilding Leon at all, extra damage against light units not worth the weakness trade. Switched him out with Kohaku to Dispel Konnako's Wildfire. Combined with Sorey's Wildfire on my end.

I'm not gonna merge the Kratos Memoria yet, since I don't have a character tonout him on in the first place.

Can you only buy one copy of each of the stones? I'm trying to save up 1000 for the SSR stone now

---

You can buy 3 of each stone, and then you get 2 of each stone from event rewards.
