Thanks. That explain why I didn't noticed for the core stages. All thoses enemy guts make this kinda slow however.
I checked the equipement first but I didn't see any change in my TP. Weird. But that's it. Actually, it's not exactly equipement stats but stats bonuses given by 6* equipement (1% ATK & DEF for regular equipement and +20/+5/10% for personnal equipement). I guess 6* equipement will be mandatory now for high TP...
I wonder if that new TP calc is just for fancy numbers or if equipement stats are now included in ATK and DEF ability bonus.
I just checked Monkshood (Bride), she looks pretty strong and looks like devs are trying to push the "until subjugation ends" meta.
200% atk + 50% damage, 250% skill damage looks pretty massive. And she can be a healer too.
The Addition to get Medals from this Core Stages is definitely a Welcome one. I farm the one with the Ratio 80 Stamina/700 Medals per run.
Still kinda slow but better than the last stage with the Pest having so many guts and Health Regeneration. Only team i can use for this includes Sigilaria and here i think Sigilarias weakness shows. You dont want to seal Health Regenerating Mobs. It is bad. In General the Seal Ability i think is a Double Edged Sword.
Anyway as much as i complained about the Powercreep and the changed Schedule of of the limited Units lately re-released, i very much welcome the devs decisions to implement a good opportunity to finally farm High Ampules now reliably!!! Before this getting High Ampules was a huge pain in the butt.
Also i got a Second Cotton??? No idea where i got here from. i must have overlooked something but a Dupe of her i am ok with cause i rate her quite highly.
Now i think its best going for Stamina Refills with the World Flower Exploration :)
For farming I think a Turn-1 with stability (not Debrobium's Turn-1, Debrobium can't handle phase changes) team is always the best choice, just need to oneshot them.
But that also means I need Hinoki School desperately, one of the best if not the best turn-1&later support.
My best farming choice is Tritoma. She can deal with everything in one turn and her 3 turns of buffs are just enough to deal with any phase change.
In the precise case of phase change bosses, I think "until subjugation ends" are great to synergize with turn 1 attackers. While turn 1 girls do their jobs, the others stack buffs. And on the phase final boss, these girls came strong enough to handle the fight past turn 1.
Anyway, even my hard Tritoma nucker team take too much time on the 6* core stage. Too many guts.
Yeah, the 6* core is taking too long per clear, the 60 stamina 500 medals only takes 20s with a fast and high speed team.
Hopefully they will buff the drops.
Adlay is so broken, even when I abort a mission, she refuse to die and resurect the whole team. I don't know why they changed how the give up function works but doing it twice each time is a bit frustrating once the fun is over.
I really hope the rose medals drop will be higher on Midgardsormr. They didn't lowered item's cost in the whare house.
To farm 6* Core I take two teams:
- Hollyhock / Sparaxis / Robinia Bride / Sakura Swimsuit / Snowdrop NY: Takes out the first two nodes and sometimes the 1st phase of the boss.
- Corbett / Lycoris Academy / Hyacinth NY / Cardamine Halloween / Dracaena: Takes out all 3 phases of the boss.
I guess i am "lucky" i didn't participate in the Original Events cause i still can get the Ampules for 700, 900 and 1200 Rose Medals.
But even with the best Ratio of the 6*Core Stage i think you need about 240 Stamina Refill Pots (around 2100 Stamina for one session and 26 runs per session) to get at least 100 of each Ampules per month in case one Ampule costs 1500 Rose Medals.
I didn't do the exact math cause i am lazy and maybe i am off by quite a bit but it sounds like this will be a huge grindfest...especially since i am sure it's not possible getting so many Stamina Pots each month as a Free2play Player (even with World Exploration).
Edit: Ok scratch my last sentence. I forgot daily rewards, Login Rewards...It's possible to get enough pots as F2play but it's none the less quite the grind.
