I haven't been farming them - I'm on 1050 out of the cheap hearts and rainbow bloom - it's true they trickle in nicely

Not sure if the skillblooms are really that worth it for a resource that right now in nutaku is pretty slow to get.

They give you an extra percentage of Skill activation rate and nothing else, but it's really small like 4% or something , i don't remember, but if they were dress blooms instead then i would definitively consider them worth it.
I use Life Crystals to buy petals for blooming since there's at the moment no other way to get them.
For flowering hearts i would use the whale medals.

It's typically more like 2.5% per skillbloom, but you're looking at this the wrong way; it's about the overall increase in DPS or in some cases, even self-healing.

Take a look at the recently bloomable Kerria's skill:

At level 1, it's a 26% chance of triggering, at level 5 it's 36%. This is a jump from a 1:4 chance to proc to a 1:3 which is a 38% increased chance to proc and coupled with the life drain, this is a massive increase in Kerria's overall fighting capability.

And this isn't even taking skill chance trigger buffs from other girls that might be in the squad into account which just makes those numbers even higher. Skillblooms are, enhancement for enhancement, worth more than any other enhancing unit (including dressblooms) which is why they're not typically paywalled.

The only advantage dressblooms have over skillblooms is for increasing TP for units that aren't likely to see combat (i.e. Whaleship).

to add onto that, if you have girls that increase skill chance, then that makes it more worthwhile for the skillblooms...

consider Kerria's lv5 skill with my team's total of 1.6 times skill rate... that takes her 36% chance and makes it 57.6% chance to activate... but if left at lv1, it'd make a 26% chance become 41.6%...

that's quite a noticeable difference...

Agreed, you need 6* or 5* skillblooms and maybe hearts if u're too weak to farm whales, like i am. Skillblooms are so good because they are not additive (like affection or gear) but multiplicative modifiers. BTW, another question - how do i get bond crystals on Nutaku/DMM? I already have 7k of them.

You can get Bond crystals when selling/using as upgrade material units from 3* or above.

Of course, 3* give just crumbs, so best income is from selling Reissued Event girls you already have.

The current event raid bosses can give a few crystals, but not much more than 3*.

they tend to come from selling or using 3* and above in enhancements... I know 3* is worth 10, 4* i think was about 100, and i just found out 6* (used a dupe to get more equip slots and skill lv) is worth 12,000

if events aren't handing out 3* girls, go farm the mission for the rainbow bloom elixirs... as any non-elixir drop is a 3* girl you can sell for more bond crystals

5* dupes are worth 1k bond and you get one every 2 weeks because of the re-issue events.
