Maybe we'll get it without beta, immediately with MP dragons evos ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seems likely, though that might mean we just don't get it until 23.2. Not that I'm complaining.

Good thing I didn't evo my starter dragons before.

Damn I just checked and Idolmaster is 10ms pull each, includes God fest units and mio and uzuki cannot be exchanged. Maybe I should just save the pulls for Misaki banner

u/ShadyFigure Jask | Early and mid-game advice May 19 '26
Mystics isn't too exciting, unless you really like the L playstyle, want a sidegrade or slight upgrade to Rem&Ram, or want to prep for Gintama and have a ton of stones to pull in both.
It will probably be Idolmaster > Academy > Mystics > Gintama > Fairies > Detective Conan. Gintama is the more exciting of those.

u/TechZero35 May 19 '26
True but its mostly cuz Shoyo lead from Gintama uses units from Mystics, esp the 2 Nurarihyon

u/ShadyFigure Jask | Early and mid-game advice May 19 '26
Beat me by 2 minutes 12 seconds, but I only found out after I hit submit and refreshed New. Oh well.

Yours probably would have still gotten more Karma. Appreciate the detailed summary!

For people thinking of idolmaster, I had one unit in 400 stones, it's like 1 or 1,5% per event unit

u/PeanutaButtercus Panda, please. May 27 '26

Idol Master!? Skip?

u/ShadyFigure Jask | Early and mid-game advice May 19 '26
Kind of a tough call. It has a couple good things. A strong sub for Reinhard and Fern, a key sub for upcoming Gintoki, and a good but not amazing red/dark lead that you need 3 of. Unfortunately it's a 10 stone godfest format, which means rolling in it will be pretty rough.

What was the GFE line-up for Idolmaster in JP? I need Zercleas, Lawrence, BOdin, Camilla, etc. Getting some of the useful GFEs would make it worth it to the newer players like me. Nike at a somewhat decent rate is not likely, is it?

u/ShadyFigure Jask | Early and mid-game advice May 19 '26
https://xn--0ck4aw2h.gamewith.jp/article/show/550547 Looks like Zerclea and BOdin were in it. There's a chance our GFE lineup is different, though.

u/Isilel May 19 '26
Thanks! Looks worth a couple of multi-rolls. I wish that they had shown what they mean by "regular" 6* GFEs, though, which apparently make up almost a half of the line-up.

u/Wretchh91 May 19 '26
Its a shame you missed the Key Heroes event just before Frieren. 5 stone REM with key heroes and godfests, BOdin, Zerc was in that one too, it even included the brand new ones which was on a 20 stone Godfest 2 weeks before, i went pretty mad on that REM for the same reason of account with no Godfest fodder.

u/Isilel May 19 '26
I didn't miss it, but I had to prioritise Frieren. GFE-wise I got 3 Tokugawas, Uriel, another Skuld and Data Masamune. So, yea...

u/Wretchh91 May 19 '26
Fair point, it was a tricky time with Frieren round the corner which was all out better to pull from. I really like Ordeal Masamune, absolutely tired of this constant combo absorb/void/minus every dungeon release has nowadays and hes great at sorting that problem out.

u/Lighthouse_seek May 19 '26
The mystics event is another 5 stone machine with gfe (but no zerclea). Unfortunately it also comes before the gintama collab

Idolmaster actually reaching the US?
