these rainbow cristal will stay around or only for limited time?

[Eliont]

No, its permanent feature.

CR/SU guaranteed would be MUCH better use for a black if you're not going to use 2 copies, unless you're never going to use said unit's first copy. I honestly don't understand why people would even sell their 3% chance lucky draws unless said lucky draws are units they've already CR'd and duplicate usage is inadvisable (like Deine, god that cost says NO to using a 2nd copy), IMO the RCs are a means for whales to use their spare gold and less useful platinum units for something other than mini-plat armors, not something you'd throw an ultra-rare unit away in favor of PART of the cost of another unit that you're guaranteed to get if you play (or whale) long enough.

I prefer to have only one of each unit, I don't use duplicates as I feel like making each unit special and having duplicates takes that special feeling out of each unit. I am yet to get a double black yet so now sure if I will discharge or add to my existing one. Only black I have currently I don't use is Berna, I have plenty of other rouges to take her place and haven't needed a black rouge's power to deal with any missions yet, so if I did get a double of her I would most likely sell it no hesitation, though if it was one I do use like Sybilla.....I might consider CRing.

I believe these are a permanent addition like Demon Crystals, it is just a new way to shop that benefits pay too play players more, free player can still use it they just wont get the Rainbow Crystals as fast as those discharging their doubles they get from their runs at the summoning shops.

There's quite a number of units whose Skill Awakening changes them drastically, yet their normal skill being just as good. In these cases it makes perfect sense to keep dupes around with intention of SAWing one and keeping another with regular skill.

You make another interesting point, wonder how far SAW is off from being added, with the way things are going at the moment I would hope not to much longer.

@Jay Rich: Berna is basically a panic button. Her evasion chance, HP + Defense affection bonuses, combined with Black rarity stats and the 1 sec initial timer on Assassinate 3 (combined with her own Assassinate chance up passive, especially after AW), as well as her low cost allow you to drop her in front of an enemy that made it past your primary blockers. She survives way longer than the other rogues, has a higher 1HKO chance, and can try assassination right off the bat. Her Skill AW (not yet in Nutaku) makes her Assassination attacks AoE, further enhancing her usefulness as a backup panic button (plus Block 1 means she won't actually block the other enemies, reducing damage taken while still attacking them and possibly 1HKO'ing them). Not someone you'd use often, but is useful when you need that panic button.

@ZeroZet: IIRC Sophie's Skill AW gives her godly stats but the skill cooldown gets much worse, Sherry goes from pure Attack Up to Charge Up then next use ranged 5-target murder, Shizuka goes from samurai to pure duelist (1 block, massive increases to attack and defense), Spica loses ranged bonus but her arrows become magical, Robert attacks instead of heals, Despara gets AoE at the cost of range and lower attack boost, Monica gets the hilarious Gatling Gun, Marius' becomes a mode switch (heal OR attack instead of only healing during skill). If I missed any whose role either changes or is significantly affected by Skill AW, I'd like to know.


Derailing current conversation to get back to Thread topic for a moment: I'm assuming this is just super shitty luck, but this morning I did 3 Spirit Rescue G runs in a row where I got 0 drops despite 3* on all 3 runs. Anyone else hit this, or did I just get bad luck? (like I said, assuming it's just the latter, but if it's the former... might need to tell Nutaku)

AW Berna also won't cost you or any other rogues a three-star when she/they dies (though she has to be deployed if other rogues die).

Zero drops doing Spirit Rescue G is my standard luck

Im not sure if rogues are specifically better than any units in some situations, most other units are better at handling them imo, correct me if im wrong, tho berna is exception ofc with her %30 assassination chance, i saw her assassinating whole swarm and not letting anything passing through.

Tokens do invalidate AW Berna a bit, but if you're tight on cost and/or short on duelists that can survive, using free RNG can help.

For example, if we got a revival of Solano's Mighty Ogres X.
