Rainbow Alstroemeria thread.

AKA roll-call for people who've been here since day one and logged in every day.



I wasn't in the Canadian beta, so I'm technically a week behind them, but I know those day one people should be getting their Alstroemeria now, assuming they've logged in every day since then.

First

[Myrdin]

Nice !
was here since day one (or possibly 2) but did not yet get her. Might be tomorrow since this is Canadian time based.

[Eab1990]

It's a new unit entirely.

Alstroemeria isn't the only alternate unit (we already have the bridal forms of Oncidium/Cactus/Camellia). None of those replace the originals, assuming you even have them.

[Sasara Kusugawa]

I was thinking this is gonna be a troll post, even with that picture up there. So, it's real that we will get her then? Btw, can someone explain why her skill name is "Ultimate Curry Strike"? Doesn't sound very convincing, does it?

[Eab1990]

Japanese skill name is 究極カレーストライク, so no, it's not a mistranslation.

Logged on today to a pleasant surprise; didn't even realize this was a thing.

I'm going to have to test the activation rate difference in practice between her and Cymbidium, but she looks like a solid replacement otherwise(will really help to speed up that team as well 340->645). I confess I've really grown accustom to being able to alpha-strike with all my skills on the first turn.

I just actually switched Cymbidium in to replace Cyrtanthus which is the same 1.2 skill activation rate and the difference is enormous. Much better chance to proc 3 or so skills first round which wipes most nodes. That's my fast team though so they could afford a little slowdown.

[Darsel]

Yeah, I additionally run Cyrtanthus, and her doom-laser, in the fifth slot of that team as their 'executioner' to finish off any bigger targets that might survive the aoe-fest of the other girls. (It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that party order does actually matter - always put your biggest aoes in the front of the party. This sweeps the little guys first so you don't waste your heavier hitting single target specials on them.)

I was under the impression that activation rate multipliers can stack, so I wouldn't mind clarification on that. Half the reason I picked up Nerune a while back was because her bloomed form also boosts skill activation rate(the other half being the excellent aoe special she has, combined with her useful map utility). It's also the reason I plan to eventually replace Cyrtanthus with Mei after her bloomed form becomes available.

The general 1.2 skill increase multipliers stack additivly, so, 3 of these girls give a total multiplier of 1.6.

However, that one from Cymbidium multiplies with those buffs, so, if you have a girl with an activation rate of 30% in a squad with cymbidium and 3 girls giving the regular 1.2 multiplier each, you'll get: 30% * 2 (from Cymbidium) * 1.6 = 96%, meaning that girl will almost always do a special attack on the first turn.
And since I'm a dirty bastard, I used 4 skillblooms on Fritillaria, meaning she now has 34% * 2 * 1.6 = 108.8% chance to trigger her special attack on the first turn. Yes, completely guaranteed always.

And now, with Rainbowstroemeria added to the collection, I'm contemplating whether I should prepare another triggersquad, for use in the whaleship or something.
