$30 for an 11-roll + one of the launch rainbows (Baccara, Alpinia, Cactace, Mei, Sakura) of your choice. Almost as good as the Black Friday deal.

I'd hope people have Sakura by now, considering this is the third time she's been on a sale. I have three Sakuras myself, two from the deals and one from the Xmas ticket, so I'm certainly not grabbing a fourth.

I also drew Alpinia from a 100 gold roll during Kerria's spotlight.

So that leaves me a choice between Baccara, Cactace, and Mei. Considering what hair color I like best, this is a no-brainer.

As usual though, my actual 11-roll was crap. I guess I used up my luck yesterday when I yolo'd Gardenia, and this morning when I drew an SSR in Kamihime pre-reg.

And time to update the list once more.

21. Nutaku 2nd anniversary (1/13 - 1/16): $30 11-roll, pick one of the five launch rainbows (Black Baccara, Alpinia, Cactace, Mei Plumblossom, Sakura)

Since I have a Rainbow in Hit (Flowering Peach), Magic (Sakura), and Slice (Kerria), I should get a Pierce unit

Time to get Mei - though my heart tells me to get Black Baccara b/c she fits my beloved type of women: mature, endowed, curvaceous, and voluptuous

Good Deal. Fortunately i still have Nutaku Gold stored (stored it for Bride Onci and Maple but i don't expect Onci anytime soon because they changed the Gacha Order to much.)

I already have Sakura, Alpinia and BB.

I can't decide between Mei and Cactace imo. Any suggestions? I would appreciate it

Does anyone know the current DMM Tier list for Rainbows? That would help.

time for some whaling
wich girl, do you thing is best?

i already got cactace but no pierce type, so i think i will get mei...

To everyone that doesn't yet have Black Baccara...what's wrong with you? Correct that mistake. Quick!

As for me, I have Black Baccara and Sakura. Not especially interested in the rest, but Alpinia I've heard gets a pretty powerful/decent Bloomed form and her design is nice. I may go for her, but I'll see.

I picked Mei, since she's the only one of the set who I didn't have yet.
An Alpinia dupe was tempting though. Already have an extra equipment slot on Sakura (for her personal earrings), an equipment slot on Cactace doesn't make much of a difference (she's mostly powerful on her special, her regular damage is a bit lackluster), while I leave Black Baccara benched since I simply don't like her artstyle.

Already have Black Baccara and Alpinia, so it would be down to Sakura, Mei, or Cactacae.
2nd abilities are a bit meh for all, although I think Cactacae would be the most useful.
Speed is a real downside for Sakura - my squads are all between 560 and 660; she is so slow that I
would pretty much have to match her with Alpinia to keep the speeds anywhere near balanced.
Mei wins from the point of view of rainbows in class, as I have no pierce rainbows.Hmmm.

Seems like a good deal, I'm thinking about actually buying it... Now, I'm not sure which 6* to pick. I'm torn between Cactae and Sakura. I consider Cactae better choice overall, but Sakura would really help with my severe lack of magic types.

Since you're already leaning to Sakura anyway: she has a personal mission with personalized earrings as well. The earrings are better than the regular earrings you get from equipment gachas, but still not as good as a leveled +10 ring. So it's awesome to unlock her personal mission and get those earrings, but if you're OCD, that will also create a strong urge to somehow unlock her second equipment slot to actually equip those earrings xD.

If it help people, reaally depends on how you play this game, i am the following pirority.

Collect as many different knights as i can (note not all the girls, that is not possible with out not just whaling, but like way too much money)
Collect the girls i prefer, for me that the endowed knights.
Collect a balance of the different types
I prefer multi hit vs single hit if i bother looking at skills.

So to answer the topic, i have three others and currently looking at Mei or Cactace, and i got lucky and got Cactace Bride earlier so Mei it will be if i buy, which i probably will, Having spent double for some of the previous one i bought.
