Thread: A growing number of questions

@lolix it was my understanding that shizuka is better due to being able to sustain herself better. still, havent got any samurai and dont really intend to use them even if I did. Also, AW does not exactly make them better that much. tanking 3 and attacking 3 is still rather meh. what makes them better is skill AW, but then again that actually changes their role completely, from anti-swarm to duelists for the most part.

@malus:
1) The main reason I suggested soma is because she starts off with that 30% affection. overall, her stats at the end will lose to daniela, but in MOST situations you're unlikely to need 2 silver archers; most players go with bashira + spica (obtainable from trading post), and only daniela/soma when a 3rd archer may be needed, which is almost never so far. and considering you have bashira, you can go with bashira for the dmg archer, and soma for slightly longer range (which would, in theory, cover more ground than bashira + daniela's higher dmg skill).
^ if above is too confusing, it is faster to max out soma at the start (30% aff advantage), so level soma over daniela is fine.

2) I wouldnt say it's a good mistake, but it's just not critical enough to destroy you, so to say.

3) well, that's mostly what players in jp have to do: trial and error. since they don't have a guide like us to follow. but certain maps are just harder and we often are just lazy and will refer to videos to get a rough idea how to pass.

4) actually, you'll eventually need the box expansion, especially to store up silver units for CC fodder, and fairies for leveling fodder, and stuff like that. especially the recent gold rush, most players who chose to keep iron/copper/silver fairies to level up units during the next Unit Farm event probably stocked like over 40 fairies. I myself only managed 20 due to lack of inventory, but I'm trying to balance spending on box expansion vs keeping SCs for events.

5) spice & wolf is a rather slice & life-ish anime.

Mehlis is a good mage to have, while Sakuya should be left alone until your core team is done, IMO.

edit: just noticed lafate's post. I have a different take on things: Return to Ruins (RtR) is great for exp, and if you're a newbie with the free 20d gold buff, you shouldn't be too hard up on gold. I myself cycled between RtR and Deep Forest Road (commission sorties) when I started in DMM aigis not long ago. You can consider using SCs to speed up leveling, but I might suggest to do so after reaching rank 101 or when the next event starts. now that we have no events in aigis, you shouldnt need to rush to bring your units up to a satisfactory standard.

I agree with sora. No point in spending scs for buffs. It will be a slower pace , but scs aren't that easy to get if you're not willing to pay for them. Keep them for events/a good batch of premium summons and hope to get 1-2 good units to build a core team. Then again , that's just my opinion
