Thread: Potential upcoming events (Updated: 7/6/2016)

@ first unregistered:
1) DMM has many more units and maps than we do now, a TP rotation, Skill AW, etc. so telling someone "don't use X unit because they suck on DMM" could potentially be telling them "gimp your current performance by not raising this unit because EVENTUALLY other units will come along that render them obsolete".

2) Premium units are historically better than their event counterparts for a reason (exceptions exist, naturally).

3) Unless a poster gives their current team and other available units it's best to assess a unit on their own individual merits and faults, as Nero said.

4) Nero is also correct in stating that every map can be beaten multiple ways, and just because X unit is better than Y unit, doesn't mean X is unusable. Yes, it is possible to gimp yourself by investing too heavily in a unit that you're not going to use long-term, but this applies primarily to newer players who make the mistake of wasting their free silver units (leveling units just takes some time and is not an issue in the long-run, wasting silvers can be for F2P); for example, CR'ing silvers instead of holding them for CC/AW fodder. Elva's CC/AW fodder is all farmable in current event so it's likely not an issue unless Blaxer happens to be too weak to complete the necessary maps (25/2 for bandit, 40/5 for Heavy, 55/7 for soldier) and is also commonly dropped fodder in many events anyways, and this is assuming he doesn't have spares already on hand.


@ 2nd Unregistered: Yes, Elva's cost is higher than she's likely worth, just compare stats to the platinum samurai, you'll see their stats are overall better, defense included (not counting sub-50% HP Defense boost). While Elva's superior attack speed gives her a damage output advantage, samurai are lower cost, hit both blocked enemies at the same time (effectively doubling output when using both blocks) and have comparable durability, especially with heal support factored in. Shizuka in particular due to self-healing skill is likely better (like you said, Elva is clearly outclassed if you're worried about min-maxing, but we also take into account the fact we don't know Blaxer's roster so maybe for him Elva is currently his best option for an offensive 2-block unit with solid survivability).

I tend to evaluate units "in a vacuum" unless the asker gives their roster and let them decide for themselves.

The way I see it you can never have too many different tools in your arsenal. After a while you get to a point where you can easily CC and level anything new coming in on Nutaku. This might change if we get a steadier stream of events.

I have found on DMM (also free on there) I am spoiled for choice and can pick and choose a lot more thanks mainly to revivals. Plus there never seems to be a shortage of silver fodder thanks to guaranteed first run drops. Unit-wise my account there is a lot stronger even though I've been playing it about 5 months compared to 9 on Nutaku. Extra units, extra SCs, constant events means a different game in many respects.

All the breaks on Nutaku really hindered my progress where on DMM its a case of what do I focus on building now, put off until later and outright ignore because I can't do it all. For free players on Nutaku it can often be a case of using whatever you can get and being versatile to plug weaknesses in your lineup.

Tomorrow's the day when we find out if Liana's event is skipped or not and the whole B.Iris dilemma.

And we're getting Anya's revival at DMM today. Hope we get ours at Nutaku soon or at least any revival.

Those Anya maps are just... gods... Boringus Maximus

Them slow spear dragons. XD They're just prolonging their inevitable death at this point. That 90/12 map though. Should bring Nadia and see how many she lets go.

The rewards though, never thought they gave so many drops for the low cost old maps.
I think its almost 40 confirmed affection from the event.

Another question for me is even if they do, will it be a revival or normal event? Still have no opinion about that dilemma thing as a non-dmm player. Im not in dire need of healers ofc but a black is black.

I hope its not the first revival of anya, dont want to wait so much for her...

It will most likely be a normal event. Only reasons I would want Liana are for her paralysis heal and more healing power. That skill will be very useful once AW Prince comes along and any other units who's skill paralyzes them after skill duration.

I heard Anya's revival happens at least once every year so new players can get a chance to get her.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here That way you won't get disappointed no matter the outcome

Still, Nutaku aimed to the end om September for the takeover and all its jazz, so may be tomorrow they finally come out and update us on the status. Or next week, as it will be beginning of the new month and all)

But I still predict "Break"-ing news
