Burnt through all my tickets without a single 3* and this was the first pull with Pyro:

Don't mean to complain, but this was rather unexpected...

How good is the other sister if I already have SHanako?

Event's story missions let you "test drive" her a bit. Of course exact numbers and synergies aren't clear, but one obvious downside to S. Hanako is that the AoE is a narrow line instead of a cone.

Nozomi is just Dress Hina but for sonic damage. Combined with Hikari she is absolutely unreplaceable for the next FRR raid which is Tipharath.

There's not really anything that can replace her DPS wise (not even Chiaki and SHanako) until Swimsuit Mika comes out in a couple months.
 
Out of like 41~k pyros i now have 26k left which is good i got Hikari at 1st ten pull but then it took until 180 to get Nozomi its good i guess. And now the great wait begins A G A I N.

Edit: Said fuck it and Yolo'd, took 150 pulls overall but Maid Aris and Bunny Toki make up for it.

Nozomi is better for single target (purple grand assaults, tiphereth), S.Hanako is better for AOE fights (Kurokage, Goz phase 1, Chesed phase 1).
 
So the new daily achievements give you an archive ticket rather than a regular 10 pull? From what I read, the best use is Ako, and after that either Cherino or adult Shu, depending on whether you prefer raids or PvP grinding

Also am I misreading or the rewards for the limit break raid boss very meh?

That's correct. The Archive Banner never seems to run out so you never waste recruitment points, whenever you hit 200 pulls you can spark for any student on the archive banner. And you're correct, it's Ako>Cherino>Shun because they can't be grinded for unlike the rest of the characters in the Archive banner. You can set one student in the archive banner to be the rate-up character and you can change the set rate-up character whenever you want.

They are until you get to the late floors. They are superbosses designed for late-game players due to the workbooks that the FRR bosses drop, which can power up your girls even further once they get maxed out. As such if you're a new player you can just play until floor 24 and forget about it until the next FRR.

People expected her to be another Miyu or Haruka but she ended up being a great representation of every disgruntled, extremely salty, abused and completely demoralized wagie that's surrounded by incompetence.

The train operators ministory was so good for that. Fuck them passengers
 
Shupogaki are obviously the stars of the current event, but without Aoba as a comedic foil, they wouldn't have much to work with.

IIRC they targeted only genuine troublemakers instead of going full "day of redemption." I'm pretty sure a Trinity student is explicitly left unharmed. (She only had minor/reasonable complaints.) She's still less than happy about what happened and delivers the final punchline of the story: "Next time, I'll take the bus instead."

Just casually doing a casual Tiphareth LAYER74 run in a casually casual way for masuality reasons. Pretty casual if you ask me
Also, is it me, or is Nozomi doing less damage than intended?
 
I got some potentially dumb questions:

1) There's FIVE strikers? The twins are always shown together, even if only one is deployed?

2) You are aware that S. Hoshino's EX is mostly "explosive effectiveness" and that it only buffs the "Red-on-Red" critical damage?

I cropped the pic for obvious reasons :P the AoE unit I was using for the run is a UE40 drSaori coming from my borrow list (obviously you're not going to do Tipharetha without any AoE)


Your second point... is pretty incorrect :null:, touristic even...
  • swHoshino's EX buffs both ATK and red effectiveness, not just red effectiveness. her ATK buff can stack with most other ATK buffs such as Rio, which wasn't shown in the pic
  • The effectiveness is not just another critical damage buff, but it is more of a buff that increases the multiplicator of the armor/attack chart as long as the buff is the same as the attack of the unit. For example, with Hikari, Nozomi's 200% damage bonus to elastic armor becomes 292%.
  • There are strategies for Tipharetha involvind less strikers, but I did not went for them just because :bb::bb:
Aside of that, I was doing some tests with Nozomi because her lack of damage made me question if something was wrong with her and... it turns out that

THE HIGHER HER EX COST, THE LOWER HER DAMAGE???

I may be hallucinating but that is how my strange testing went, it is like her gimmick gave a 180 degrees spin. I do not know if someone else knows about this :sadwaifu:

I did specify mostly.

Terrible wording for me, I meant the "WEAK" effect from matching attack/armor type.

Third stupid question, did you take into account the "Cost reduction effects will only affect the base skill cost" -part of the EX skill description?
