Thread: 2k summons

I'll just keep expecting a plat/blk and I'm sure I'll get one eventually
I've only done about 10 premium and got Mikoto so I think I've used up my premium luck (I love her)
I haven't done even 1 SP summon because I insist on saving until I can expect at least a gold and a good chance of plat. Got 300 so far.

What's the point in saving them? You could be rolling units that could potentially be helping your team right now, maybe even saving you some fodder that you might otherwise waste on lower tier units. The idea behind chances is you can never "expect" anything. The idiocy prevalent in a lot of the people that play this game in their thinking related to the gacha is ridiculous.

The sole valid reason you could ever give for waiting on SP summons is you particularly need a certain class of silver for AW that you expect more to get added to the game in the near future. (Nenya and Mischa specifically, new story maps, etc.) Otherwise you're just being a superstitious fool.

Mostly, but not entirely, valid. You miss the point that if you desire a unit that hasn't been released but should be in the coming months, then you might as well save your SCs and wait for their release before rolling.

While your point that you might roll a unit that could help your team, or more fodder for AW, is valid, at the same time you can't expect to roll said fodder (example, if all you need is Witches [ignoring the current event drops them], then you can't expect your summons to get even one). Sure, you're GUARANTEED not to get that fodder via summoning if you don't summon at all, but you could easily end up "wasting" those SCs and then have your desired unit(s) released a few months later and have to build up your SCs again.

Alternatively, if your team is already solid, with all key units AW, there's not really a rush to AW more, is there? Y NOT wait for new units to be introduced before rolling?


TLDR: It's not "idiocy" to save your SCs if you don't need new units or fodder not dropped in current events, it's perfectly valid in such situations to save them and wait for new units to be released (we've already had Jessica (Mage Armor) and now Dark Knights released for new classes, no reason not to expect more new units in the coming months). Granted, anon's wording was sketchy and I'm not entirely sure I understand his last sentence (SP? Do you mean Piece of Crystal? You already said you did about 10 premium summons...)

Personally, I'm currently hoarding my crystals for the next collection event, which should be giving us a healer. Considering my best healers are AW Iris and AW Fedora, I'm in dire need of a better one. So I could try to roll one of the shrine ones when they next appear in a spotlight, or spend ~50 crystals (probably less) for a perfect event unit. Yes, she will be weaker, but the chances to perfect her are also much higher than the chances of getting a platinum+ healer from the shrine.

You know he was talking about SP Summon crystals right?
Anyway, if you are lacking unit space you also want to hold them instead of rolling right away

Ah, no I misread that. Yes, SP summon crystals are usually spent as soon as they arrive.

Sorry if my wording was confusing. I did mean Piece of Crystal for SP summon.

I want to save up and spend them all at once when I have enough for a 90+% chance of plat so I feel like I'm buying one instead of gambling for it. I know my chances are no better if I save them than spending them right away but it makes me feel better (dumb, I know).

I also need more room for units. I shouldn't seeing as how I'm a free player and have the second barracks but I'm still full of shit I don't want to sell off. I just sold 60 gold spirits because I needed the room.

Ivan, I was obviously referring to Piece of Crystal SP summons, not SC Premium summons. The fact that they can earn stamp card rewards in increments and also be spent on refilling Stamina and Charisma should be enough to clue you in that I wasn't talking about them.

@anon, as long as you understand you're just giving yourself a placebo that's fine. If that feeling is worth enough to potentially hurt yourself in the long term then by all means, spend how you see fit. Also if you've already saved at least 300 Piece of Crystal then you've had ample opportunity to buy all the barracks upgrades which provide plenty of space for free players especially. Selling spirits is such a waste and I've never felt like I had too many spirits, if you start getting high you can always combine them with your Hashim fodder for bonus xp, even if you have no gold rarity units to raise its still better than outright selling them off.
