Thread: Sengoku Providence announced!

Makes you wonder what sort of PtW the pre-register debacle allegedly prevented.

Seriously? the only form to obtain 5 is with paid magatama? and the DMM allow you a guaranted 5 with his gatcha? I hope this game fail this is true!!!!

You can use free Magatama in the "free" gatcha, but you're dealing with a ~3% chance of getting a 5* with it. Considering the only truly usable characters are going to be your 5*'s (this is why so many of the gatcha in the Japanese version guarantee you one with a multi-pull, even for the free Magatama ones), the chance of you getting something useful out of your multi-pull is pretty high.

Basically, in the English version, if you want a guaranteed 5*, you'd better pay. In the Japanese version, you just have to do a multi-pull on the advertised gatcha banner. They obviously have paid-only options, but there's still an outlet for those who remain F2P.

Nutaku never discloses their licensing fees, so there's that. The problem is that their shitty business model runs on a 6 or 12 month cycle (if even that long), and then they surreptitiously ween support for the game, where it dies a quiet and miserable death another 6 months to a year later. Because certain titles are making bank for Nutaku (or the licensing fee was pretty high), like FKG, they're able to sustain support AS LONG AS WHALES KEEP GIVING THEM THEIR CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZED CHARGES.

Once the magic wears off, or Nutaku decides it's not worth additional resources or time, they'll hop on the next "great" thing. Their business model reminds me of so much VC behavior before the internet bubble during the late 90s. Gamble on a project or company, then gut it if it's not looking too well, moving on to the next thing. If one thing, at least, their Facebook/Twitter seems to be a well-polished machine, and brilliant marketing being present at major cons help bolster that image of "a hip, trendy platform for (sexy) games".

Compare this to DMM's strong long-term commitment to new titles, and an option (many JP mobile companies offer this) to receive partial or even full refund should a game go belly up in a relatively short amount of time (1-2 years) Nutaku DOES NOT DEVELOP GAMES. They simply publish games, and do a lousy job of it, which allows them the freedom to "wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am" every fucking title they put out.

I think I'll pass on this one, seems too greedy with free currency and too geared to make me pay instead of encouraging me

Other ways of getting 5 * are from the event quest, requires some grinding though to beat the stage and luck for the drop. Alternatively would have to wait for global launch and see if there are any event giveaways

Are those 5 Star Senki from event quests weaker than the gacha ones? 'Cause I have a 4 Star Water Tiger and from what I can see, her base stats are like 10%~ weaker at max lvl unevolved compared to 4 Stars from gacha like Oda Nobuhide and I wonder if it's similar to 5 Stars.

Could someone please explain how the skill leveling works?

There is LUK (drop chance), and two bars to the right named "Special Skill 1 (Level 1) chance" and "Luck 11 - Special Skill 1&2 level".

How do they correlate with upgrade materials, senki level and LUK? The guide is not clear and translation errors might give the wrong idea.

Is it OK to simply level up the senkis without caring about skill levels? Or is it imperative to somehow increase those luck bars when the senki is low level?

Only way to increase Luk is to use girl dupes as mats.
