Thread: Good News everyone! We have a date!

2. Somewhat disagree with Tenhou. Shizuka is arguably the best Samurai you can get. However, she isn't really needed or required especially with Rin's every around the block.

Well, I spent my SC today, and got a Marius out of the deal. From what I heard, it was not a bad trade.

Well, since I'm getting ready for the upcoming event, I'll take the chance to ask something:

I'm aiming to follow Lafate's guide on F2P usage of SC, but it's taking me quite a bunch of time to finish all the story missions (maybe I'm just bad at this game, lol), though I've already reached the SC amount marked as critical point for the first premium roll spree (actually a little more, 49). Being that said, and considering we have few days left for the event, should I go for the premium roll spree or keep waiting until I get all the SC from story missions?

I ask this because I'm wondering if it would be better to keep focusing on the units I already have been leveling up, or just take the premium ones and level them up as much as possible within the time left.

Thanks in advance.

Just because you spend them on summons doesn't mean you will get anything useful. General rule is to expect disappointment. You could get something good, or you could get nothing but trash and end up having been better off using them for something else later.

There really shouldn't be any "suggested" time to spend them on summons. The only "worthy" time is when there is a spotlight unit that you can't live with yourself if you don't at least try for her (or him).

In all honesty, if your goal is to complete the event by summoning something, then don't. You can instead use them to activate the powers/blessings during the event that will make your ENTIRE team stronger should it be necessary. You don't have that much time before the event starts anyway. I'd focus on my current team, and then purchase the buffs if I can't handle the event maps. At least this way is less of a gamble. One semi-strong unit is not likely to make up for an entire team of weaklings.

I'd say perhaps try the summons now. Currently before the event, Monica and Marius have bigger chances of getting summoned and the units coming the next event while good, aren't really the best units you can get (samurais have a place but a lot of other units can be much more important to get).
Monica if you can get her will boost all your demon crystal drops by 3% as long as she is on the team so having a higher chance of getting her is quite nifty.

That said, while Monica is a good DC booster and Marius is the currently best mage (though he is a bishop), we do get a nice mage the next event so you might even want to wait and see what the events in the future bring.

As Kotono said, check the spotlight units and wait for something you really like and spend at that time. Nothing wrong with that.

was thinking as well on what to do. Just got 6 cristals , and wasn't sure. I mean , i'd rather keep them and wait in case i will need a bit of extra power to finish the event (either by recharging stamina or aigis buffs) , or summon now , since i kinda like the curent units (Marius seems really really good ) and i dislike samurais anyway. Decisions , decisions...

Question: Do you really want the units in this spotlight or the next?

If yes, then yes.

If no, then no.

Also black unit spotlight doesn't count. Going after a black even in a spotlight is a very bad idea.

IT'S A TRAP!

In my opinion blessing are not worth the cost. If you can't do an event without blessing just go farm. At the very least you should be able to get one copy of the event unit before it ends.

Honestly the only time you should ever consider using SC as a free player for a buff is the UP+ buff for War of Magic. Other then that it is a waste.
