I completely understand the logic behind this and after posting in this topic I had my first whale ship crash since they added it. had a run of 5 non ship skills in a row with the pest getting it's max damage skill 3 times in a row.... bad luck on top of bad luck. In the end it came down to one hit... If I had another 2-3k HP I would have won.

After the fact I did some upgrades and got an extra 1-2k ATK and 2-3k DEF so I don;t think i'll have that trouble again. Guess I forgot to put Equipment on some of my girls.

There should be almost an 8% chance of rolling the 60% option 5 times in a row. You have yet to see bad luck on that front.

The thing with WS in later stages is, you need that BLOOM on your girls. The raw stat increase is what you need for you WS.
I´ve been playing this game for a damn long time and just got my ass handed to my on the last stage of the new WS mission.
Unless you whale and have tons of 6* ov every color, your 5* of which most will be event ones anyway, wont have the stats to beef up the WS attack high enough for smooth sailing.

2nd affection is a somewhat ok boost too.

As for whaleship: I'm a little surprised when I see Edelweiss or Evening Primrose that aren't level 80 in a helper group. Edelweiss is an event girl, so anyone can get her. Evening Primrose is the free 5* you start the game with. As for second affection, it makes a huge difference. It's around 3k total power. That's more than any single piece of jewelry - and cheaper too. Across 40 girls that's 120k total power. That's more stats than my 5 girls in team 8 have.

Does everybody get Evening Primrose as their first free 5* now?

I thought so. Maybe not - too lazy to start a fake account just to check.
