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.

Bond Crystals are no prob for me since I can easily do therevivals andsell Gold Dupes and I have a shit ton of seeds, just pop 1K seeds, sell the gurls, you might hit bronze or silver

Life Crystals are just harder for me, coz you can't buy them, or get them from selling stuff. You gotta grind

Yeah, life crystals one can never get enough of. Good stuff is left on the shelf every month while Bond and especially whale can clear with surplus.

it's why i farm the current 80 stam event missions when i can... they'll give roughly 5-8 life crystals a run

that's if you're not like me and began playing around the time Trailing Arbitron (or however you spell her name) came out.... in my case, i haven't seen a repeat event yet
