Dejnov.

Alternately, invest in passives and save the rest for Shingen's arrival

I'll just mention that if you're running Thunder with D'Art (as I am) then Astraea can be very useful to get the full sniper shot to land, especially if you're doubling down with the relic weapon for the full 30% debuffs. If you're also running Thor or better awakened-Thor, it also helps with stun.

I usually use Vicissitudes on my extra soul ability slot as I've got a full SSR team - I'm Thunder main - and am near burst damage cap already so don't need no forests, but as always YMMV.

Players with 1 or 2 SSRs in their (non-main) Thunder team can run pretty far with Astraea, D'art, Charles Blaster and the Provisional Forest extra ability.

The problem with PF on D'art is that she's not guaranteed to get full burst ready in the 2 turns you have, even with outside help from himes like Raiko.

Other than that though, I agree about the astraea combo as I've played about with that combo quite a bit myself at one point, and it does synergize quite well with d'art's sniper shot (which doesn't have a stellar landing rate) and thor of course.

Raiko+Rami Rami combo OP.

... that's a lot of effort for PF.

Double posting: I Ranked up today and hit 133. My max Friends went up from 50 -> 67. I am guessing that every second level gives you a Friend slot past Rank100. Can anyone else who has Ranked up today or yesterday confirm please?

Also, those poor bastards who already had Rank150 before this update... they didn't increase max Ranks, right? Don't have any 150s in my Union or Friendlist, so checking would be a pain in the ass. Can anyone confirm that as well?

naw they didn't increase it. it's still 150 even on DMM. Nam still 150 kek

****thanks to JStar for translating all of the attacks and stuff. he's so cool auauauau

In terms of usefulness for the SR miracle ticket for my dark team, who's better Beelzebub or Cernunnos? I already have most of the other SR's, so it's mostly between these two.

I have six points in Taunt on Herc, and while I think she's taking a bit more damage, it's... barely noticeable. So I wouldn't imagine three points in Stealth really helping much.

The best things to prevent things like that from happening are Combo- debuff, Blind debuff and more Def. In that order.
