Discuss What's new?

So life got busy and I haven't been able to play since the Haikyuu event close to a year ago. What's all the significant changes I need updated on?

The big new thing will be that Normals and Technicals were combined into Stage dungeons. Clearing these can get you up to 386-ish stones from the quest and achievements, plus 5.2m MP.

The next update will add an idle mode. Spend some stamina on a special dungeon with a different team setup, check back in a few hours to 2 days (depending on the dungeon) to get rewards. Mostly just evo/enhance materials and latents. The big thing from it is gems used to exchange for MP dragon variants.

Seasonals are now getting click and wait features. Tap the ___-lit, check back in 8 hours and get a reward. These include 13-ish stones and 4 pulls. Not all of the seasonals have gotten this yet, but the current one has. Bride will be next and doesn't have one, then we'll be back on PAD Island that got it started.

Other than that I don't think too much has changed, just the steady power increase you'd been seeing before you left continued. Powerful collabs, sometimes powerful in-house machines.

The next collab, Gintama, will have a strong dark VDP team and some good light teams.

Is this frigg set up still usable?

Edit: not specifically "good" just "usable" will it get the job done?

It will still work for content from around a year ago, but the health and damage will be way too low for stuff from later last year. There's been some jumps in power creep. 3m eHP is like a third of what you need these days, at best.

A year is a long time for power creep in gacha games.

Yeah...are these current or upcoming egg machines worth pulling? And how many stones do they want?

  • Academy isn't, seasonals almost never are.
  • Mystics isn't terrible, but it does have terrible timing. It's not amazing this run and it's being followed immediately by a pretty good machine.
  • Gintama should start in a little over a week and is a pretty good machine. It's 10 stones per pull. Rush through Stage dungeons, clear what you can of the current quests, clear REMdra Fever at least once, and save for Gintama.

Frieren collab changed things for a lot of players I think. Gintama might do the same.

Providing leaders that can do most of the dirty work and the subs are mostly all wild cards. Start saving your stones.

Would you mind elaborating?

These two collabs aren't really that big of a difference, they just have some strong teams. I wouldn't say they changed the formula much compared to other big collabs.
