Tales of the Rays

[GDB]

No wait the new story gacha has all overray MAs released so far uhhh. Getting one would be a pain though with those FGO-tier rates.

FGO-tier = 0.7%
oMA other than Sorey = 0.033%

Managed to clear all Challenge Quest. Boy Challenge 45 was really hard. Had to save scum a lot and even the final try ended up boils down to Talon vs Sylph. Never again.

Victory tickets gave me weapons of characters that I don't have. G-great.

Grats! Hope my Mithos helped a little haha.

[GundamFSN]

Holy that is an impressive feat for someone who just started a month ago. Good job.

Well compared to the previous set of challenge quests this one was kinda easier. Previous set of challenges is blue anima instead of rainbow and Undine is such a scummy AoE spamming hoe who will kill you in seconds if you let her finish a spell. Had to leave the last 3 quests alone ;_;

Now to wait for Kanonno event.

Thanks. Yeah I had many instances where Ix didn't manage to interrupt Undine's Tidal Wave (prob because Sylph keeps hitting him). So my win condition was to take her down ASAP and for Mileena to get her MA up before Efreet MA somehow.

Still currently farming the event to buy the MA enhancement mats.

Grats! Hope my Mithos helped a little haha.

H-how did you know i used Mithos helper for that?

[GDB]

H-how did you know i used Mithos helper for that?

He's one of the best supports for challenge quests.

[ryokatagenji]

New Apk update is very neat. More places to farm dias is always welcome.
Gonna try and play around with the new skill quests if i can. They build up when you take them to fights like Exp?

[GundamFSN]

I read that the exp for it is AP.

Dunno how to unlock more record trophies lol. They don't give any hints for some reason.

[ryokatagenji]

You pick a trophy and click the obtain method button below it.Oh yeah, they level up based on how much AP you spent using that character. You get dias for reaching certain levels too. One of the trophies has crazy stuff like deal 300k damage and reach f60 in the tower a dozen times. Welp

[GDB]

These skills range from nearly amazing to who the hell cares. From Discord:

10% chance to automatically guard a physical attack: Kocis, Asbel, Cress, Lloyd, Senel, Jude, Chloe

8% increased iron stance breaking effectiveness(?): Luke, Sorey, Kyle, Stahn, Kana, Yuri, Hisui, Rutee, Shing, Farah, Chester, Karol, Dark Turtlez

10% increased healing received: Mileena, Asuna, Cheria, Sara, Mint, Shirley, Ruca, Elize, Marta, Reala, Kohaku, Sophie, Colette

8% chance to guard a hit while casting: Rita, Keele, Lailah, Raine, Jade, Kongwai

1% HP auto regen when idle or moving: Earhart, Pasca, Arche, Anise, Meredy, Laphicet, Leia, Caius, Haruka

30% chance to survive a fatal blow on 1 HP: Lenneth, Estelle, Natalia, Edna, Repede, Alisha, Eleanor

2% increased chance of inflicting an ailment when using an elemental attack: Barbatos, Mithos, Sync, Veigue, Velvet, Leon, Asch, Eizen, Gaius, Celsius

10% chance to reduce CC cost by 1: Kirito, Reid, Magilou, Raven, Alvin, Illia, Rose, Pascal, Rondoline, Muzét, Zelos

10% increased MG gain: Milla, Mikleo, Tear, Ludger, Julius, Hubert, Emil, Guy, Kratos, Judas, Dezel

Only MCs have the ability to actually get the skill implemented yet it seems. Or maybe they have the skits but everyone can get them. Who knows yet.

Either way, I'm focusing on Alisha, Natalia, Milla, and Rita first. That GUTS skill is way too freaking good. Especially on a stagger tank like Alisha and cavalry healer Natalia.

[ryokatagenji]

Alisha even more unkillable yay.
While auto-revive is neat, 30% is a pretty low chance and i'm not sure if it can be relied on.
I like the MG gain increase and auto guard skills. The former especially sounds really useful for spamming MAs.

[GundamFSN]

1% hp regen seems ok. I remembered running around the field during Overray so I can refill back hp lol.

Auto guard will make Kocis and Senel more tank so that's good.

The only guts Nexus that I have is Repede lol.

[GDB]

1% is pretty bad. Only time I can see it helping is if you've almost wiped and you just need to run around until you recover. But that's so rare nowadays that it isn't worth taking into consideration.

Also decided to not raise Rita's bond at the moment and go with Ludger instead. While I don't have his oMA (or any MA, really), it is one I'm aiming for once it gets a real rate-up again.

[GundamFSN]

It happened...once during my infinite retries of Challenge 43. Still lost since I panicked lol.

I actually managed to nab Ludger's gMA (and a dupe Kocis) off the stepup gacha. So the money is worth it I think. I had to buy his other stuffs with Prisms unfortunately.

Hopefully Rowen is added soon so I can roll for him.

[GDB]

Hopefully alongside Fractured Milla.

[ryokatagenji]

If we get Rowen and F.Milla this year then this is truly the year of Blue anima.

So i tried to tackle the tower beyond floor 50 now that you get more dias by doing it over and over. Only managed to make it to floor 59... i need more training...

Trying to roll for some 5* Nonos but only managed to get Ice Tornado. Now to experiment which of these girls can tank some hits.

[GundamFSN]

I managed to clear up to floor 43 for the tower. Not gonna push my luck beyond that because that's like the limit of my whole roster. Maybe if I can get 4 more awakened charas then I can get up to 50 hmm...

Sorey is p good in the tower since he's the only one that can heal himself mid-combo lol. No healer tough life.

[GDB]

Trying to roll for some 5* Nonos but only managed to get Ice Tornado. Now to experiment which of these girls can tank some hits.

None. They're all Magic Knights like Milla.

*edit*

Just realized this event has the boxes like the Xillia 2 Summer event did. Tip: avoid the gold boxes and go for the exp/mat boxes. Tickets > Nexus Crystals & Weapons > Exp/Mat Boxes > everything else this event for the high tier currency. I got myself set for a good long while from the Summer boxes, and if these have similar pull rates I may not need to buy the MA ascension materials again for a good year or two.

[ryokatagenji]

I wanted to maximize high currency drops so i need a Kanonno who can take one for the team. Earhart seems to do thanks to her surrounding physical artes though really i want her to be on the side casting Shaved Ice.

As long as i don't misclick and use up my tickets on the gald box i'll be fine. I wish it wasn't positioned on the top.

Rolled all of Grassvalley's tickets got no 5* ah...

[GundamFSN]

Who needs Gald anyway lol. Mats all the way baby.

My farm team atm is Ludger, Mileena, Senel. Ix (he's my highest lower currency drop). Hopefully I can get a variety of G's stuffs from the tickets so I can replace Senel with her.

[GDB]

Looks like October is going to be purple event(s) and brown story.

[GundamFSN]

Think people says it's Genis/Presea event and Spada for story. And an Emil somewhere. Hm, prob gonna try for either Spada or Emil if that's true.

Shop tickets gave me all of G's weapons except her Ruinous Bloom and gMA, which means I can swap Senel out huzzah.

[ryokatagenji]

Spada gets name dropped in-story a lot, especially in the latest chapter but i don't remember seeing a sprite for him.
Genis and Presea is already confirmed for Fall and it's about time. I voted for those two.
Made another 10 roll and got Earhart's new sMA. She is now one of my strongest characters up there with the hard-hitters Kocis and Gaius.
Otoh Earhart loves me very much. Otoh i wish i pulled some 5* for Grassvalley
