Hime-sama is my favorite Arius girl but goddamn, the banners that come a few weeks to a month after the Fest are ones I specifically want to roll on (Nagisa in the Toki/Nagisa limited banner and Bunny Neru in the Bunny Karin/Bunny Neru limited banner) so I'll skip the Arius banner and hope that I spook her in either the Fest or one of these banners.

best of luck gamer, she spooked me on my first FES, you can at least cope knowing her swimsuit alt is welfare
 
Assuming you have zero Arius students (at least, I personally do) rolling for Atsuko would have the benefit of having a pile of otherwise useless Arius BD/Notes to dump on her. Not necessarily a major enough selling point to justify a splurge, though.

She is a good example of the simple yet effective "Peak Archive" -writing. She could've easily been just a "Mystery Box" turned into "Damsel in Distress" but voluntarily surrendering to Arius loyalists, in order to spare rest of her squad, is a powerful character moment. Too bad the Arius loyalists didn't keep their end of the deal and she sacrificed herself for nothing. Well, other than driving Saori so desperate that she asks Sensei for help.

You're better off just buying Fusion Keystones from the JFD shop and using them to turn excess Arius blu-rays and books into ones you need by crafting the blu-ray/book choice boxes.
 
could you give me some pointers on tippytop? I'm getting stuck in its ultra omega death beam attack, I was hoping Aoba could just carve a path but she does like the 25% hp of just one pillar and stops, what should I be doing for higher floors? do I just gigabuff aoba during that segment?
 
Dumb question about Greg: the "debuffs" in this context are only "negative status effects?" Or at least, crowd control effects like stun/taunt/fear do not count (raid bosses are presumably immune to those unless there's a mechanic around it like Swimsuit Wakamo.)

If I'm correct, this would mean that Kayoko and Suzumi are less effective than you might think (they still bring at least some Red AoE to the table) and Swimsuit Izumi is nearly useless (she would have the benefit of being a "welfare unit" that anyone can grab from Event Recap for 100 or so AP.)

Crowd control effects do not count as debuffs for Gregorius. Gregorius is either the easiest or hardest boss for players, there is no bullshit randomness in his fight at all and it always plays out the same pretty much every time, on the other hand you either have enough debuffers and if you do you can even punch above your weightclass or you don't and you're absolutely fucked. He is a roster check and nothing more and sadly borrowing does not help in his bossfight as much as it does with other ones that are pure gimmicks. Geburah is a good example, if you don't have Satsuki you're fucked but if you can borrow her from a buddy or clubmate then he's a complete joke, you can't really do that with Greg. Until I got Mina and maxed out her EX skill (not to be confused with Mine which is also one of the units to bring to Greg) and NY Haruka during my shupo pulls, I struggled to clear his Grand Assault version from a few months ago. Now I completely destroy him.

Any common, event or Archive characters that can land more than 1 status effect, or do it passively? At best I need to bring absolute garbage but then I can't buff when I need to actually deal damage to the boss. My best try so far is using school Asuna and borrowed Nagisa.
 
Kirino (when 3-starred) theoretically lands 3 status effects, but in practice only her EX is reliable and the two others are likely to get wasted on the choir. I think. At least she has matching damage type and a bit of AoE, to contribute at least some damage.

The .gg Wiki has Cherino (who can be Archive recruited/sparked) on the recommended list, but there's a caveat:
Cherino's Normal Skill applies 2 debuffs (Focus Fire and Crit DMG RES down), although it takes a while to activate (40 seconds).

Tried a 1 ticket and got her, will try tomorrow.

PSA: fill up your "Assistant" slots (under the "Social" -tab.) They will generate Credits passively even if nobody hires them. Press "Reform" and "Complete" to cash in while keeping the existing assistant there.
 
I played a little, well over a year ago (mostly for one character I won't disclose), and lost interest. I've heard and seen the game become quite popular again, is it worth getting back into?
 
so bored. The glitch with Nozomi has been fixed and Tiphareth is nothing because now Nozomi defeats it like butter
And Greg is so broken that 40m is accessible as goyslop

I want the next update already, Shupos and guide Pina have been for too long now :null: :null: :null: :null: :null:

why can't I clear insane with this lineup? as you can see they're all limit broken and everything? am I missing something? is it because I don't have D.Hina? do bond levels make that much of a difference? do I just give up?

you didn't pray enough to the RNG Gods o algo

I'll try it later and see if I can make it to torment, I'm not getting any hopes seeing that not even UE4 Hina could carry it to the end doe

Also, funny screenshot from some days ago

God knows what important features were in those essential files

The comp doesn't look crit reliant because it does have a healer I feel it is more of an skill issue. If that Koharu was changed to a sHoshino then I would say the crit gods weren't on the plans of that man because Greg is a scripted fight

That looks like the data patch for the bugfix for Nozomi (and other overcost units) and Tipharetha. You forgot to enter the game since Sunday/Monday depending of your timezone

Are you aligning drHina shots to hit as many choirs as possible? Are you groggying Greg at the right time so you can do more damage? Are you not forgetting to rotate the center organ too?
You first have to check what are you doing wrong, then try to fix that, because the issue is definitely not the units
Alternatively, you can watch some videos to help clear the raid, it will make life easier

The debuff counter both considers debuffs (blue downwards pointing pentagon icons) and special effects (yellow square icons) as debuffs
The former can be obtained in many ways the real challenge is to get as many to debuff Greg , especially on Torment and above
The latter is a weird consideration, but it makes students like Kanna and especially Reijo to work against Gregory, you can see some Reijos in some Lunatic clears
 
I do turn the organ
I do carefully aim the beam
I still don't know how the groggy works
I lack S.Hosh, and D.Hina for that matter

Groggy increases both for each fallen choir member and if Gregory gets damaged by explosive attacks
Not swhoshino is kinda painful though
