Thread: Dance of Shadows Guide

I managed to get Waltz to -4CR and 8/10 skill. I'm happy with that as is. I don't want to sacrifice gold/possible XP income to chase the last CR. I have some rainbows so I could try for 10/10 skill if I really wanted.

Silver farming I did ok. 3 Dorca, 2 Bernard, 2 Elaine. Enough to CC Waltz and fill some gaps. Even though I wanted more for awakening fodder it doesn't matter. Plenty of things I need to level in the meantime.

Considering I spent no SCs I feel very lucky this event. But I have had others where the drops haven't come so it evens out.

Event - Break is our schedule. It was for quite a long time, it is, and it will be forevermore. No use to complain, not to mention our complains fall to the deaf ear of japanese DMMAigis devs at best or to powerless Nutaku staff at usual, anyway.


Besides, I LOVE breaks!

Been farming The Scorching Stage for the last few days and my drops were pretty good. 4 Waltz, 4 Dorcas, and 2 Elaines. Got enough Dorcas to AW Fedora and enough Elaines to AW a Princess unit or Thetis. Also dropped enough silver fairies for me to CC some of my AW fodder. Overall, a pretty productive farm event for once.

Because gambling is something you absolutely can do rationally as long as you understand how RNG works and can do some simple math to estimate a range of what you need to invest (cha/sta/SC/time/etc) in order to reach a result you want. You "sacrifice" up to what you deem acceptable for the result you are aiming for, enjoy feeling lucky when you're ahead of the curve, and either cut your losses when behind or reconsider how much more you are willing and able to spend. You aren't playing against another player, it's strictly you vs the dice. When you feed 10+ copies and get no progress you feel awful, of course, but accept that it was within the range of possibility and learn to appreciate star and collection events all the more for it.

People used to post to exchange strategies and ideas about events before. But as you pointed out , most of us are veterans (at least on this forum) , and aigis didn't had any really hard event in a while.

Managed to min cost Waltz to max and get her to skill lvl 4. One silver Valkyrie and VH.

Pretty bad drop rates for me, but not overly a big deal.

May get another Waltz when I get back from work, but I'm not counting on it -_-

fed her 11 copies, she is now 4 UP 3/10, i am about to get a lazy dancer, it seems

For me personally as a freemium player, I just lower my expectations. May it be gacha rolling, crafting or enhancing. If I get something or the results are good, then great for me. If not, then better luck next time. But I do sometimes find myself raging and facepalming, like those gacha tickets from osawari that lets you see a roster of eromon but still only getting them at random. I mean the results are already set when you use the ticket unlike PPS that lets you pick the one you want from a roster you pulled by using a reveal card. Unless they let us use monster gems on gacha pulls, the roster is kinda redundant. Like it is just there to tease/troll the players. (System: Oh Ichigo took the bait! should I capture her? nah, I'll just capture a generic R girl instead.)

Aaaand, done. -5/+9. Last skill-up is better be done with rainbows, anyway)
Used quite a number of SCs, but feelsgoodman)
Even gotten her evolution materials off the event, and couple of Khuris)
All in all, a good conclusion. Praise be to the RNG!

Totally agree with lolix here, this event is not that hard, so people who have (has?) time in the game can manage with no real problem; but remember that event where they buffed the fucking fish? we were all over the thread reading and posting results because of those difficult maps

ps. i farmed for silvers (healers and valks) and still got 50% drop rate (yay ) but combining just hated me, waltz is at -2 / +3

Also can someone point out whether "people" is treated as singular or plural? i get confused whenever i use it :/
