I'd suggest using it when a good plat unit is in the spotlight

I could be wrong, but seeing as the platinum ticket is not the Summon Premium Unit button, I don't think the spotlight affects it (much like the spotlight does not affect Summon Rare Unit, Summon Base Unit SB, or Summon Base Unit). I also vaguely remember attempting to look up if premium summon rates impacted it when they were first introduced on Nutaku and finding the answer from DMM to be negative, but that was a while ago so I may be mistaken. Is there anything that indicates otherwise?

Anyway, the ticket aside, might as well mention my own recent summon attempt story even if it wasn't today (it was Tuesday when she was first added). I'd decided to try rolling for Leda because a thief can be quite handy for some dailies and collection events. Started out by burning through my Pieces of Crystal ('d had about 250 saved up), and about halfway through I see the glow of a plat summon. Wind up getting Liddy, which wasn't bad as I didn't have her yet even if I'm not overly desirous of Pegasus Riders. All I'd had previously was a handful of the gold one who didn't seem strong enough to invest in leveling.

Alas, I did not get Leda with the shards, so I moved on to attempting premium rolls. That day I made around five or six rolls. The first one or two were irrelevant silver or gold units. Then, as I saw the glow of black, and found myself with Esther. I was slightly disappointed with the specific black, as out of those I'm missing I didn't really care about getting her, but she is one I'd lacked and she does seem potentially good as a gate keeper. I did at least now have all of the Pegasus Riders. However two rolls later, I once more saw the tell tale glow of black, this time getting Clissa. Once more I was somewhat disappointed, because I hadn't really been particularly interested in getting her outside rounding out my collection, but at least she is potentially useful, and she does complete my collection of Valkyries. After this I made another roll or two that had forgettable gold or silver results, and I did not succeed in getting Leda (though I did manage to attain her later in the week).

Overall, the results of the rolls felt a bit trolly. Having gotten two non-dupe black units, I can't really be too upset, yet at the same time they're blacks I'm not particularly interested in, and probably won't use any time soon. Aigis seems to have decided that day I was in need of more complete collections of riders, though if that's the case, I can't help but think Daisy, the last mounted premium unit I'm missing, might have the potential to see more use than the girls I got (though maybe not, as I do have a few good Ninja and a Sabinne already to fill my need for melee slot ranged, even if they aren't quite so long raged).

Esther is like a hojillion times better than Daisy. Like, super duper better--there's a fair number of black units I would trade for Esther with zero hesitation. Esther is affected by her own AW ability and therefore has a 60+ seconds of uptime versus 25 seconds of downtime on her skill, during which she's dealing 700+ damage in an area at roughly three times the attack speed of the average mage or artillery officer. Throw in the fact that she ramps, has 100% withdraw and flies over melee units and you have the makings a top rate spawn camper. And I can't emphasize this enough: What I just described is Esther at her nadir of usefulness. Post SAW her skill gets better duration and a 1.5 damage modifier at the cost of some defense.

I'm aware Esther is quite good, having looked up what she does both when she came out on Nutaku, and when I obtained her. I have also begun putting some resources into leveling her, both for her potential in up generation and as a gatekeeper that works in the opposite manner to Sophie (and can be healed unlike Rika). However, while she certainly seems good, I rarely use units in the roll she fills (though perhaps that will change once I get her awakened and leveled a bit). Melee slot ranged units I know are useful and make frequent use of (though in fairness, I'd probably not actually bother levelling Daisy given other options I have, at least not any time soon). The main issue though, in so far as there is one, is that she likely won't be getting leveled to a usable degree soon on account of other priorities I have at present. Namely, improving my DC farming team to take into account boosted stats from a thief, and boosting my ranged magic damage in preparation for more golems (rather wished I'd managed to pull an Estelle as one of those two blacks, but alas). On the bright side, the announcement of no event this next week combine with boosted daily drops means those are both less urgent than they might be, so maybe I'll be able to divert some resources into her.

->Open Spoiler<-

BOTH black and plat in 5 rolls! Both are dupes... Oh well, at least I've got me some Thief

10 draws last week trying to get the thief;
8 silver & 2 dupe gold

10 draws today trying to get Cellia;
3 silver
6 gold, 3 monicas (who I already have) 2 more dupes and an Ellett
1 plat Mia (yea)

Also decided to finally spend my 600 SP crystals
4 gold; Momo, Yuyu, Mehlis (all new to me), & Garrett
2 plat; Sherry, Dahlia (also all new).

Was saving up for barracks (Pretty early in game, just got cloris and katie to 50 and CC'd. 30 post CC. Yet to re-take the castle..
Anyway was spamming return to ruins, kinda wondering who to CC next, Was thinking either Iris, Uru or Bashira, when i accidently wasted a crystal on stamina so i was like wtf is this. Decided i'd roll a premium unit summon for some unknown reason, slightly regretted it after assuming i'd probs just get a silver, then realised i got a black unit, who was the wiki's mascot, so i looked her up (Nanaly) and apparently shes the most op archer.

Atleast i know who to CC next.

On another note, i believe my first premium summon was uru, the monk. I also got Fuuka, the gold ranger, on my second or third roll. Pretty sure Nanaly was my fifth roll. I guess ima just save up for the barracks because i think my luck just dried up.

On another note, Who should i CC next? any suggestions would be nice. Considering Iris and Uru next.

nanaly. She's a straight up dps monster. She will carry your account even with crapier units. Rush map ? First deploy nanaly > activate skill. Tough bosses ? Quadra shot to the rescue. Tight up maps ? well....she's an archer , so u can deploy her anyway as oposed to a number of other blacks.


Honestly tho , raise and cc her asap. Quadra shot is a serios increase in damage over triple shot ...even more so if u have an awakened spica



As for uru and iris , well ...it depends what u have cc-ed already. Both are good units. uru less so now , and a lot more after SAW.

almost time for my legend ticket

i don't need a nap and i can't time travel

why is life so hard

same here. Can't wait. I actually don't have any of the spotligtht units , so i'm fine wih whatever , but man , if i get the luck an draw kikyo , considering i also have uzume ....that would be insane

Increased summon rate doesn't apply.

Boo, another heavy armor. I fucking hate that class, this game already gives you a shit ton of other tanking options. I guess I shouldn't complain about a black pull, but ugh.
