Glad you got lucky and the bond crystals will be handy like tomorrow. I didn't have her and just got her bloomed today. Had a spare dress bloom that I used on her and when shop reopens will give her a skill bloom and 2nd affection.

i had this issue with a dupe sakura not long ago... i decided to feed the dupe to the original...

using a dupe or trying for more skill lv and equip slots are both good ideas... what is a BAD idea, is selling the dupe 5 and 6*'s you get from gachas....

NEVER sell them... they're way better used to buff previous copies or used in a 2nd team

Behold my Raid Boss Poking Squad!



I already had both of them fully evolved, amped, skilled and equiped, and I just couldn't push the sell button on two of my favorite girls. Once I get all the other girls of their respective types evolved, I'll start leveling them. Which may actually happen in only a couple of weeks for Acacia.

I'm going to have to disagree with this slightly, If your 1st copy has 5/4 skill/equip then feel free to sell any additional copies you get. I know it sounds far fetched but quite a few of us have had 5* stalkers and gotten more than required to max 1 girl.

in that case, why not build up another 5/4?

i know i would.... depends on the 5*, but i definitely would on a 6* since those are hard to come by (outside of deals/step-up gacha)

besides, given the fact that whaleship needs 40 suped up girls, you're likely gonna want as many 5* and 6* you can get

plus the levels of power in this game seem to be 6* at the top, with 5* gacha girls right below them, depending on bloomable girls of course

Well by now most of us have more than enough unique girls to fill out whaleship 4-5 times so keeping dupes ends up using too much space. I 'might' consider it for a 6* if I ever get one to full 5/4 status and then get a dupe of her but even that is uncertain.

in my case i've only been playing for 4 months.... quickly reached over rank 100 due to spamming tons of flower gems as refills, but that was mainly cause i focused on event 5*'s at the time (in fact, never did the storyline past chapter 12 yet). they hand out 5*'s like crazy this way so i figured a lot of them would carry the teams for a while

now that I CAN make a whaleship full of 5* and above, i'm more oriented towards pulling gacha with those flower gems. especially since events seem to give 16 each run and logins will help too.

due to this, i do have some grind points for whaleship (pretty much 9-3 or 4-4 if i don't want RNG involved), but still will take a moment

Yeah, I'm fairly new too. I just barely hit level 90 last week. There are some people I find who are like level 162. I find that I don't have enough coins to upgrade all of those 5* characters that they put out for the limited events, so I don't end up getting very many of them. I focus on my best characters instead. I have all of the 6* Bloomables right now except Nerine. I would never sell a 5 or 6*. Do people actually do that? Is there a benefit besides the bond crystals?
