Thread: Question about a few units I rolled last night

Hello guys

Got Too hooked on this game so I spend a couple of bucks in the hopes to get a black unit sadly no luck but I rolled some units, but I dont know if I should train them or keep focusing on my current team, right know aside from lvling CC units I bealive I should aim to CC Belinda

As for the new units the new ones are the one right of prince, bellow prince, the ones around Iris (up, down, left, right) and the one left and bellow Cloris

sorry guys dont have the names, I was really sleepy last night so I didnt check and Im at work so cant log into my acc

Sherry - raise and AW her asap. She is one of the better plat princesses that can buff your gold units.
Rachel - one of the best pirates even at DMM. Raise her ASAP. With the many pirate buffs in the future, Rachel will definitely benefit from them.
Zenobia - until you get Jerome, I'd say raise her as she can easily replace Phyllis as a soldier. Liselotte will also appear as an event unit in the future, so you will have a chance to obtain two plat soldiers.
Yuyu - I use her with Belinda for their high ATK and range increase. She also has higher ATK than most witches because of her elf race.
Bernice - your go-to heavy if you don't have any other higher rarity HAs
Kerry - same thing as Bernice.

Others
Betty and Monica - the former has gold get upon AW and the latter boosts DC drop. Whenever you have the time, try raising them as their drop increase percentage will increase after CC and AW.

Wow. How many times did u pull? Looks like u hit the platinum jackpot. You got the pretty much best plat unit u can get as a starter and new player once ur able to AW. Dont worry about names, most of us can tell on one sight which units are shrine ones and which arent. (Is that... sad? xD)
I would say you got increadbly lucky. Most units you got are very good for starters.

You got Yuyu the gold witch which combined with belinda gives a pretty strong witch duo. (but for starters just focus on belinda)

Bernice the gold Tank is the best tank in the game except for Gellius (Plat) and Deine (Black) shes suited for every job that needs a heavy so pretty solid pick and a sure core unit u can focus in. Shes also the only Heavy that boosts her class after AW but thats for later.

Kerry the valk is a ramp unit, a unit with low cost that kills weak enemys at the start of a map and generates up and when u recall her refunds more UP then other units (full on AW). Shes decent for starters and defenitly better then Elain (the silver valk).

Then you got the new Feng Shui User Mia (plat). They reduce Terrain damage like poison or desert map damage which gets very helpfull if you have one later on and since we only have two Feng Shui Users and both are Plat AND Shrine units only a handfull of us have access to them. They can heal two units at once but heal less then normal healers, making them good when u dont need to focus healing on one but on a lot of Units.

Zenobia is a soldier like Katie, but plat. Shes the soldier with the strongest combat stats whe have atm. If fighting is what you want shes better then jerome (the other plat soldier) while hes better for passive support purposes. Nontheless shes great to have as she can use her skill faster then Katie.

Then there is Rachel the plat Pirate. Shes a beast when u need a ranged physical damage thats very high (for enemys that have too much armor for archers). She also has a beastly high range. Dont know what else to say about her. Shes strong.

And the Cherry on Top is Sherry, personaly she was my second plat and the first plat i AWed. Sherry is a Princess. She can serve as lightningrod (tanking magic damage) due to having magic resistance. She has decent HP and def to survive at the front. Shes a duelist that deals magic damage instat of physical damage which means no matter how high the Armor of an enemy is she will deal full damage (but her damage is lower against targets with magic resistance so beware). Shes the princess with the highest atk of all princesses during skill including the black ones. She cuts through enemys like through butter. And the best thing, her AW later on gives a boost to all your gold, silver, bronze and lower rarity units in form of 5% HP, 5% ATK and 5% DEF just by being in the team, the best boost in the game as long as you use enough gold/silver units.

So u got a Tank. A Ramper. A second solid Witch. A Feng Shui User. A Soldier better then Katie. A Pirate and a pretty awesome Princess. Gotta admit im a little jealous.
Pick the core units from those [Tank, Soldier, Ramper] and start with them as u have leveling to do with your core units anyways. The only three that i didnt mention arent of any interest for you by now as you already have better versions of them. After you cced your whole core and got it to a moderate level you can start with those sweet sweet units like Sherry, Rachel and Mia.

Some really good draws there.

Sherry (right next to prince) is a godsend for mostly F2P accounts since when you get around to AW her she buffs all gold and silver units (and bronze and iron if you ever use those; bronze are useful for certain maps I'll admit) and she's a solid duelist herself

Rachel (right under prince) is a Pirate and probably the 2nd best one (after the OP black Minerva). Pirates, compared to archers, trade attack speed for huge range and attack advantages (and a powerful but VERY short duration slow). Rachel is an excellent ranged alternative to Bashira and will help you get Spica via the Trading Post (which requires the Demon Crystals obtained from Thursday's Crystal Keeper daily which demands a lot of ranged damage)

Zenobia (next to Rachel) is the 2nd best soldier we have (same skill as Jerome, the best one, AW ability makes her better fighter but worse for UP generation which is soldier's primary role, with secondary role being early blocker), definitely a keeper.

Mia (level 34, next to Lolonee and under Belinda) is a Feng Shui User, a multi-target healer who reduces terrain effects like poison and initial HP loss (great on the desert maps and dailies). Don't let her low attack stat fool you, she heals 2 at once (3 after AW) so if you place her right her Attack is basically doubled. Also a keeper.

Bernice (below Mia) is the best tank amongst the gold and silvers, level her and she'll be your main tank for a long time. As a typical Heavy Armor, her offense sucks so you'll need to back her up with ranged damage support.

Kerry (below Rachel) is a good UP ramp as a Valkyrie, if she deals the killing blow you get 1 UP and she gives back most of her cost if you withdraw her (all if she's AW). With skill she can one-shot a lot of weaker mobs.

Yuyu (left of Katie) is a witch who totally outclasses Cloris (Cloris wins attack during skill but Yuyu has better damage outside skill and can extend range with skill). Ditch Cloris mostly, level Yuyu for your witchly needs.

Edit: Ninja'd

If possible, I would not CC Zenobia till I have a strong main army.
She is a great unit but her best value is like jerome, +15 Unit Points(UP), pre-CC.
CC increases the cost to field her while the ability remains the same, effectively costing more to use her.

@YoxalLoyal - Thanks I will start working in sherry, rachel and Zenobia so that hey can replace Phyllis, Soma and Harissa

And Thank GOD for Monica cuz I only got like 40 demon crystals I hope that by getting her stronger I can manage to farm Spica

Then I should work on Berice,and finally on Kerry. I hope that this can help me farm units in the next event to CC/Awaken my Team


@Nero010 - I dont think its sad you guys can tell which units are shirne and which arent I think thats good eye
Also I used 50 free SC that I farmed a week ago and last night I bought 70SC plus 5 I got from the stamp and other 3 star missions but I used like 40 to get all box expantions plus a 2nd barracks
(I know I should rolled more than 7 times but I didnt want to worry about space for a while)
But sadly I dont think I can manage to get another free 25 SC for the next stamp card upgrade

And on a side note I got Kerry last night but not on SC roll but on the one that used 5 Pieces of Crystal (I didnt know that I could get anthing better than bronze from those)

I didnt know that the pirate and sherry where plat I tought they where silver LOL the only one I notice was plat was the swordwoman (I think her name is Zenobia) and I was trying to get Sybilla since I read shes a princess and those are great units and got kinda sad that the best I got where gold LOL I was really sleepy


@IvanLedah21 - Yeah as I been reading I got really lucky there so I might try to lvl yuyu to get a good witch team but know I dont know since I also want to lvl the pirate gals to farm the demon crystals.... and also sherry.... man I need so much money and food units :/

@buttlover - I think i will follow your advice I will not CC her yet untill I can manage to mincost her


Also you guys forgot the samurai girl next to katie (Chizuru) is she worth lvling or should I send her to the barracks for now?

Personally, I have my Katie CC'd and she's at max cost and still serves the vital role of generating UP anyways. She's 50CC60 now. Otherwise she might be too weak for where I"m at now. The desert maps in storyline. That 15 UP per activation is alot regardless and the maps won't always have swarms of weak enemies for valkyries to take advantage of.

Not sure if you can min-cost a premium unit without forking out a ton of cash, but good luck with that.

I'll ignore chizuru, you have WAY too many units you need to power level.
Currently your priority would be to CC bernice/belinda and getting rid of your silvers. (except for the mage)
I would also put some levels into zenobia and sherry immediately and field them on your main team.
That +15 UP and princess dmg is SICK.

Other than lacking a mage, you pretty much got an ideal team there. (you don't even need to rush spica, seeing how you got rachel)
Since you already spent $ for 70 SC, I'll suggest just dropping the last bit for the 150 SC monthly card. That monthly card gives an additional plat roll ticket(which can roll for blacks if you are lucky)

Ignore the 250 card, its not worth amount imo.

Chizuru belongs to those. Also the gold pirate and rouge. They are good for having a tiny chance up (that adds over time) but thats worth NOTHING if your team isnt set up to even beat the stages. Its pure logic, first get your set up, then get the drop boosts. Many here tend to forget how it was to start and give advices straight towards AWing. Free players often take at least 1-2 Months to do so though. Resources are very limited in terms of silvers for new players as nutakus event paste is AWEFUL. So using a silver to cc a unit that adds a 2% drop chance boost is... propably hurting u in the short run actualy RIGHT NOW. You should focus more on leveling, ccing and getting forward in the story to unlock the good grind maps as well as clearing X maps of dailys. For that you need pretty much nothing but a well leveled core. Even silver units could manage it used with a guide and maxed.

One more hint. Rachel cant realy replace Soma. Soma is an Archer, Rachel is a Pirate. They both fill different roles that u still need. You wanna grab Spica at some time (usualy once u managed to grab ur first 200 DC) to replace Soma. Archers are a lot more efficient then Pirates to clear out weak mobs that come in huge numbers or enemys with low defence, Pirates shine when you need thier range or have targets that have higher armor as they attack a lot slower then archers do.
My Point still stands, id advice you to pick the core units from those which u pulled and level them alongside with your current core until u advanced in story and prince level and can start actualy grinding and leveling consistent. One example, seeing that u already have Belinda and Belinda>Yuyu, theres like no need at all to focus in Yuyu until you have no other core unit to work at anymore. Most advices are a bunch of things you should do but they actualy requier a few months to do so, so im hinting you towards what you should start with at. Dont worry times not gonna run away from you paste at Nutaku aigis is aweful slow, u have time to get all that fodder for leveling and Affection for your girls.

On general you are right. Most pirates cant replace archers. But rachel is slightly different because of her active which turns her into a better long ranged archer.

Put it this way, there are 3 plat SS tier units in DMM that are useful in most situations according to the hardcore discord aigis members.
2 of them are not in nutaku yet (Saria-healer and Totone-merchant), the last one is rachel.
Ok, part of the reason for that is her SAW, but she still the top tier unit when you crunch the numbers.
