intermediate (advanced?) questions

[Unregistered]

Four weeks ago I asked a series of questions and your feedback was quite helpful. Thank you for the helpful responses. I am now level 100 and have 19 5* units and 1 6* unit in my main squads - five of each type. The total power is a little over 360k (and yes, I know the stat isn't all that helpful from the previous post . I finished all the permanent re-issued events. Unless I play spend FG or nutaku gold, my source of units is now pretty much static except for upcoming events.

Jewelry: Many of my 5*'s and the 6* only have one jewelry slot. These units should get event rings so that they have some defense modifier without sacrificing too much attack stat on the jewelry? Let the 5* units with all four equipment slots get their defense stat from items other than the ring?

Jewelry: What's the point of event earrings? It seems like the personal earrings or the warrior earrings would be preferable. The only use of the event earrings is whaleship stat boosting on teams 5-8?

Whaleship: This means that way, way, way in the future I should have 16 units of each type fully leveled? Getting 20 units feeling "ok" has been one thing - getting 64 is an entirely different beast.

Future1: I've read some people saying they are saving 4* (and higher) duplicates for bond crystals. Something about second affection. Is this really worth it? Is that coming soon?

Future2: Similar to the above. If I shouldn't hoard the actual units right now (due to space concerns), should I just hoard normal gacha seedes until dupes becomes useful for bond crystals? I mean, all they provide me with right now is gold for selling dupes and I haven't exactly been short on gold.

Future3: Blooming is also something that is coming? Its like evolving a second time? Soon?

Ampys: use them to level other units? Feed them to the main squad? Does the game warn you when you are at the cap or you have to be careful not to waste once you start trying to max out a given unit?

Farming: I've read the threads about 2-1 vs 12-5. None of the threads seem to address the 80-stamina maps on the events that also give at least five life crystals. Is that not worth it? I'd been mostly farming 12-5 and would occasionally do the 80 stam event map just to stock up on stamp cards for this week.

Well, that's a bunch of questions. Thanks in advance.

re Jewelry - event earrings give high defence, good for Counter girls. Personal earrings are hard to get

Whaleship: not something to worry about as a relative newcomer. I am day at day 180 and I can finish Whaleship 1-3 just which is not worth me pursuing it at this time. There is plenty to do without Whaleship, e.g., each new event, each new reissue, evolving Knights etc.

Ampy: the text goes red if you try to use an Ampy and it would exceed the bonus limit. Some like to feed Ampies to their waifu, or to their strongest 6 and 5 stars. Put the defensive ones on any counter girls you have. I only give to 6 stars, then 5 stars in my main squads.

Future1/2/3: You will need a lot of storage space if you are planning on saving the 4*+s for Blooming, which means using some Flower Gems to boost your inventory. I only have 125 slots and save mine for 10+1 pulls. Who knows for sure when Blooming will come? From what I hear/read, if you are a f2p player, or spend only a small amount, it will be very hard to bloom any of your knights, but it is not as if we really need to. Most players with 360K+ should be able to consistently clear every map except the Defensive Battle ones and the Whaleship ones. I'd just enjoy the game as it is now, enjoy your 4 squads and the ones training up underneath, as I said before, plenty to do way before you need to worry too much about Whaleship or Blooming.

Jewelry : i think personal jewelry much better than event jewelry, but at nutaku not all of them have it

Whaleship: meh, i'll do it slowly, not have all 16 unit of each type fully leveled, just fill it to 16 and fill the rest with high TP

future: from what i heard bond crystals is important so its worth , i think dmm players should be can more explained ......

ampys : its worth same like lv 5 manyu, so ideally you give ampies at lv 1-30 of your knight to minimize your cost, feed them to your waifus choice, and yes when you upgrade and adding stats become red means it reach the cap

farming : 2-1 gives most exp/stam efficiency for newbie until 12-5. 12-5 gives most exp/stam from all of map , event 80 stam gives LC but with low exp, so if you want to level up to the max obviously you should farm 12-5 ( with higher levels means you have more stamina)

Mindrunner> Actually it's really easy to bloom girls on DMM. There is a ton of free blooming stuff. Blooming hearts cost only 150 Life Crystals and you know how it's super easy to get Life Crystals on DMM (but it's harder to get Bloom affection gifts...).
I'm totally F2P and I got 5 bloomed girls and 4 with bloomed affection in... two months? Something like that.
I don't really see any link between blooming and F2P or not (aside the amount of 5*/6* owned).

Whaleship ; I can say this is one of ultimate goal for long-time player.
You no need to rush or bother with it right now.
And also not neccesery to collect girls until you can change ship color,
because there are stage that you can use your greyship to tackle.

Bond crystal ; Normally you make bond crystal from extract left over accescery.
Selling 3* or high rarity girls is just optional.
Is this shop important? For me it's not important, since here is Nutaku that keep selling girls every week.

Bloom ; You can call it 2nd evol. It will come soon, maybe 2 months from now.
Bloom 5* quite strong, if you lack of 6* girls you can use them.

From what I figured out so far from comparing girls:
5 star bloomed girls are stronger than 6 star not-bloomed girls, but 6 star bloomed girls are obviously stronger than 5 star bloomed girls again.

Actually, I have 2 bloomed characters and I'm F2P. DMM gave 2 blooming hearts (forgot their original name) during a special login bonus last month and in May. Thie special login bonusses happen every month. In fact, it started yesterday (forgot to check if there's a blooming heart on one of those days and Roentgen hasn't been posting for a few weeks, since he gives this information on the same day or the day before the special login bonus).

I was referring to Nutaku version . Do you think Nutaku/Nameless will give us free blooming hearts?

5* lv 80 bloom girl do have similar stat to 6* lv 70 girl.
But in skill use they still not so variety, well many new specific skill is with 6* girl.

6* lv 80 bloom girl is fearsome machine,
with good choice even aqua-mirror boss will disappear in blink of an eye.

And we are on Nutaku so many new thing like bloom heart
or even bloom material like petal and other thingy maybe purchase by NG in store hahahaha.
