Dejnov forgot to mention that Cyclops has a passive that boosts all thunder himes's hp by 5%, which works even if she's just in sub, so she actually stays useful for a long time.

If you're still in SR weapon land, then farming the SR Axes from Ultimate raids will get you a working weapon grid fast.

If you haven't already done so, also grind out the water epic quest - for whatever reason they decided to put Jormungandr as the first water epic quest which gives a thunder assault SSR weapon, not a water one.

This is kinda long-term and won't be relevant for a while, but be warned that thunder does not have any f2p SSR exceed weapons for at least the next year or so, so you will eventually hit a wall in power unless you get lucky with gacha drops. Even SR exceed weapons are hard to come by - if you are starting now, you have already missed an event that gives an SR exceed weapon, and there isn't another guaranteed one until next October-ish from Tartarus epic quest if I'm not mistaken. So, keep an eye out for any thunder exceed weapons you get and make sure you hold on to them (Perkele's in particular, 'cos you don't need to brick her weapon to get the exceed.)

Thanks for the detailed responses! There are a few things I would like to clear up since I'm still fairly new.

-What are exceed weapons?
-I'm running fodla in the back, are more healers (such as gryla) really necessary? I feel like I have plenty of sustain and would benefit more from other abilities as of right now.
-What is a Phantom Grid?
-Is thunder f2p friendly enough, or should I consider trying to continue rerolling for another 120% edilon? I got quite lucky pulling 2ssr kamihime including Baal with Nid

You need them to Exceed the burst cap of 1m damage. Which, even with Nidhoggr, you're not going to reach for a loooong time.

Still, not having access to an Exceed weapon will put a big stop to your growth eventually.

That depends on content. Heals can be really nice to have in long content such as GO. Being strong enough to not need heals is of course always better, though. But good SRs are very few, and having more options certainly doesn't hurt.

Phantom weapons drop from Ragnarok Disaster raids, but that's not really something you'll need to worry about for a long time. The main point is, you need five other weapons of the same type to run that Grid. Like, you need five Guns and a Phantom Gun to run a Gun Grid.

I don't think that there is any element in modern Kamihime that is F2P friendly... the game is now getting old, and veterans in the game are extremely strong.

Exceed weapons help you with your burst damage. You'll be limited for a long time since the only available ones cost 15 Dragon Eyes (with each Eye costing 10 shards). It will be some time till you can afford one. I'd say not to worry about it at all.
Phantom Grids are when you get phantom weapons and 5 additional of the same type for a special bonus to all similar weapons in the grid. I also wouldn't worry about it at this stage. You've got probably 6 months at the least before you'll be limited. We can talk then about how to break these limitations then.

You have Nid and BaalU.... you're plenty viable F2P. You're in a very good position for the long term. Thunder is a very decent element and can do very well both as F2P and also whaling. I main thunder and think IMO it's an OP element. So you're doing just fine!!

If you're using Fodla as your healer than Cyclops is a much better choice. The affliction removal, zeal, and 5% hp for thunder himes is awesome. Zeal (+10 Burst Generation/round) increases your team speed to allow faster bursting.

I'd definitely focus on additional MLB Eidolons and SR Assault Weapons from the Thunder Raids. Start at Standard and clear all three as high as you can. The lower levels have a chance of dropping two Defender SR weapons and the Assault SR weapon. You want the assault one and you can keep the Defender ones until you get better.

Also as Dream pointed out do the Jormangandur Epic quest. You can also use him to initially build out your Eido grid. You can technically get a full MLB Eidolon from all Epic quests if you do them; so I'd look to that. The Main Quest equipment is truly sub-par so don't bother with that.


Dejnov.

Should I use the enhancing weapons I get from panel missions on the SSR's from epic quests or wait until I have better SSR to use em on

Also, I think they may have changed Hercules. I'm not seeing an a soul axe with 25% resist, the only one in shop is thunder att and burst gauge up

its burst effect

Ah thanks didn't notice. On another note does anyone have any recommendations for farming edilon orbs efficiently?
