>6th Anniversary coming soon!
>Langrisser x Captain Commando crossover in November!

>New Heroes Banner:
Virelia / Seraphina

Upcoming Heroes Banner:
>LLR Brightsummoner
>Tiana / Shion (Langrisser Millennium)

Latest update introduced the new game mode called Epochal Odyssey where you can unlock Einherjars.

I rolled the rest of my 20 pity for Virelia and now I have a 4 star Dieharte. I'm never trusting a new banner ever again and will solely be sticking to single banners and destiny.

Finally done.

>>1548397
Forgot the pic.

>>1548401
Nice, I've only cleared the first one. Got the orbs for 2-6 and haven't touched 7. Several stages I can't follow a guide since my x unit is weaker. Also cba to not use a guide.

"Battle report error"

Holyyyyyyyyy shittttt. This garbage should not be allowed on ragnarok stages. I watch a goddamn 30 minute guide on 8-4 and take another hour to clear it myself to be met with this bullcrap. This shit takes long enough as is and now they want me to repeat it?

Holy fuck the new pve mode is dogshit. Chinks need to be nuked into the ground for fucking this game up for so long.

>>1549456
I just finished it and it wasn’t that bad except for the UP bonus since getting to summon T1 is huge. I heard it gets nerfed in the future but right now it feels like the stages are just a step up from early covenant stages in difficulty and stats. I guess they want it to be more easily accessible like casting since its support to help people with unlocking covenants in the first place seeing as you can’t use a covenant here. Also people who don’t go for the stats are going to find it pretty hard since you get +72% to all stats. At least resets are all free and plentiful this time around.

>>1549456
>>1549477
These are the words of Shizuka (we all know who Shizuka is) on the first EO video they published:

"New PvE mode, I thought it is a fun mode with relaxing, but hell nooooo, its disgusting. Every map takes at least 10m, so I guess I will go slowly day by day!! Thanks for support..."

If a player like them who manages to complete every challenge in the game wrote something like that, it means that this time Zlong has exaggerated.

Zlong must understand that the game needs a comfy mode to mess around a bit with the numerous units built. I admit that I was waiting for a new mode but it's the same story again, buffed enemies that block the talents of the units and descriptions that never end.

>>1549485
I agree it'll be a try hard mode rather than a comfy one for most players, but to put it in perspective, it's like 5x easier than a ragnarok stage. Most enemies are not stacked with passives but rather just have normal skills. There's like 4? bosses that have the usual immunities to prevent cheese but otherwise have no ohko gimmick stuff and only do pretty simple aoes.

They say that they'll go slowly day by day, yet they're already done on day 3. 10 minutes without needing to look anything up is quite fast by this game's standards when there's only like 14 maps and however many extra per week for a new mode with a new set of stages every 2 months if not longer. They also clearly realize that this new mode is actually extremely easy provided you just aoe spam. Given the huge buff, you can fool around with weaker units here too. On a basically done account, I was finishing stages 3-4 turns earlier than the feat and frequently just standing around doing nothing for a turn because you have to wait around for the things to activate.

>>1549456
I'm not a huge fan, but it's nowhere near Ragnarok levels of retarded. And at least here, the stupidity goes both ways, you can run some insanely broken combos with the summons.
That said, Forbidden Battleground is somehow still the only consistently fun PVE mode, with Voyage as a distant second, ping-ponging between a fun alternative progression mode and an insufferable slog of resetting until you get an useable team. I just wish Zlong focused more on their very solid core gameplay, rather than stuffing every PVE mode full of tons of extra systems and layers of bullshit.

>>1549485
>>1549477
>>1549551
I still don't fully love it, but I probably over reacted with wanting to deploy nukes. I'll scale back my call to arms and keep trying to progress. Sorry about acting up, gents.

>>1550831
You did nothing wrong and I've seen worse. LM survives mainly with PVP and collectors, if this was a PVE only game it wouldn't have survived even three years. It's now clear that Zlong doesn't care about new players, and this new mode is clear proof of that and I doubt that things will improve in the future.

>>1552688
Yeah this is a total lie lmao

>>1553866
Can you prove otherwise?

I can't remember if this was from the gate of fate or from the story. They were playing up Bessemole as one of the good guys in the narrative, but I can't imagine anyone but a villian doing a pose like that.

>>1555842
In Virelia's GoF she is depicted as someone close to Enya or at least someone Enya trusts, I wouldn't be surprised if she was the classic character who is willing to get her hands dirty to solve a problem even if it means becoming an enemy of her own race. However, in the anniversary trailer her silhouette appears along with the silhouette of possible members of the empire.

>>1556072
Thanks for the gold

>>1561005
>t-thanks for the gold kind stranger

SS turned out to be easier than the two boss stages before it because you can just let units and Einherjar die and tank hits. Isolde is absolutely insane in this mode too for single target, just have her survive till the end with Leon and run out the summon CD for her to slap like 500k damage herself. Put her on with Andriole and you just one turn the boss basically.

>>1561873
When I saw her showing up in every video I saw about the mode, I knew I was in trouble. It'd be too much of a grind even with her, though. It does give me an excuse to use my own characters in a fight that doesn't seem like a puzzle, which I do appreciate.

>>1562211
new to langrisser any tips

>>1563566
There's like a billion guides on reddit that are still relevant because PvE isn't that different, just more endgame content and units.

I guess the two pieces of advice most relevant are to not neglect training your soldiers and focus all your resources onto your main team of 5-6 first before spreading them around.

>>1561873
I take what I said about this mode back. It's leagues better than Ragnarok. That isn't saying much, but still.

Not needing a new team every map, a different maxed out covenant, and completely different fight mechanics every fight is nice.

SS wasn't too bad, and Isolde has been worth her weight in gold for how stupidly fucking OP she is.

>>1563583
is there any things you would reccomend i put on all my armor

>>1563794
If you're still using SR equipment just slap on anything really that has a decent atk% or int% through SR scrolls. Game isn't really built around maxed out enchants, so don't waste too much gold or scrolls trying to get a perfect roll early on for an SSR you'll dump for something else later.

In general, Breeze is the all purpose DPS enchant. Some specific units will use Clock/Magic. Full Moon is almost identical if not worse offensively which is all that matters in PvE, and Rough Sea is just almost always worse. Crit focused units will want Blazing Sun. Don't bother with Meteor unless you know what you're doing. 2+2 Blue is for Mdef conversion units like Bozel/Luna. You can put Hard Rock/Steel/Tree of Life on your tank. Healers will usually go Crystal. You can also put Tree of Life on them, because it stacks, but Crystal is just safer.

You can always just check the ranking thing to see what enchants other people are putting on.

>>1563794
You can always try the chinese wiki, too. That usually has builds that have a couple of months of testing out before they get to global. They included multiple equipment options lately, depending on how you want to build the character. Google translate works...alright on it. For armor and helmet pieces, the priority is usually extra damage > HP > certain abilities. Except for stat converters like Bozel, of course.

The countdown for Bright Summoner is taking so long!

>>1570080
What's so great about her?

Bright Summoner in 30... I've saved like 500+ and now I have no clue what to even use tickets on. Maybe a failsafe for the Captain Commando collab but I'll have like close to 800 at this rate by then.

How’s the new forge equipment in global?

>>1572374
Mainly for Apex. Staff is mainly use by AO for debuff at the expense of her AoE damage from lower int. Imelda can use it too but you need to switch her acc to int acc for that. New acc can be used by ninja dude from collab later. Or Eshean if you want her to bypass stun immunity acc but butterfly is still better.

First of all, I like Bright Summoner, but in my opinion she is not an LLR unit but rather SP Chris. I do not doubt that in PVP she is a must have unit but for PVE things are different, she does not bring almost anything new to the field like Icemelda and suffers from problems that new units should not have.

Negatives:
FB is not automatic since there is no AA after summoning a unicorn so you lose a turn in which you could use BS to attack or heal.
Unicorns are tied to the class so you have to decide before the start of the battle which one you want to use, even Roland is able to use both classes and switch them during the fight.
Unicorns, like all summons, are fragile, and once they have exhausted their skills they are almost useless until the CD runs out, if they manage to survive.
BS is a hybrid DPS-Healer-Support but her healing abilities are lower than other healers since she doesn't have reactive healing so in aoe challenges during the enemy phase Rozen continues to be the queen, just as Tiaris, Celica and Elma continue to be OP in ST healing.

Positives:
She is a perfect unit in the early game for Glory since it allows Elwin, Ledin and Grenier to use more skills and both in the story mode and in timerift there are several maps in which the teams are divided so ranged healing is useful.
She has Chris's 3c and with SSR stats she can be the bane of demons.
The Holy unicorn has a whole useful kit, while the Mage one can be useful for fixed damage.
Since she has the FB she can be used as a healer in any team without sacrificing stats and skills.
Unicorns can be used as bait and expendable tokens with the right units.

Maybe I'm wrong but in my opinion she is a unit released quickly to cover an update that otherwise would not have had any new units, Icelmelda had an entire event dedicated to her while BS instead has nothing except "A Shining Letters".

I'm so at a loss deciding if I want this skin or not. Also I forgot about finals two weekends ago since only one of them got to top 4 before and otherwise they never really broke past groups more than like 3x between them. No idea who either of them are. Pretty disappointing match overall, looked like something you'd see in gold maybe. The other thing that surprised me was how popular Patricia was, I thought she wouldn't appear much in the tournament but I saw her in quite a few boxes. https://litter.catbox.moe/49w3la.mkv 3 days
Speaking of Patricia, does she have any practical use in pve? I for the first time in a while rolled for waifu and got quite lucky with her and Gunn.

>>1575948
I can't wait for that skin to be released in Global and if you like Kaguya you shouldn't even think about buying it since you have enough vouchers unless you're waiting for new skins or the rerun of some old ones. Pat is AoE + fixed damage, she's definitely useful in Odyssey when she's a bonus character, maybe in Bastion and Autochess too, the 3c passive could be useful since it makes your buffed unit or enemy units with three stacks similar to Sagani's owl.

>>1575948
What I've liked about Patricia is that she fits in as a unique addition to an AoE team. Damage is good, and she can provide some minor healing. Short lets aren't a problem for her usually, since she can activate her 3c from the position of whoever has the buff. Unfortunately that 3c also takes a round to set up, which is a major drawback to have to do every few turns. Having a move buff/move debuff immunity skill around that doesn't feel like it's wasting a slot is nice. She can also heal whoever has her buff with her single target heal skill, which could be pretty nice to have around due to the cooldown decrease on it. She also has her cyclone spell, which can get up to 1.9x damage if the target already has 3 debuffs. All in all I'm glad I built her since she does enough different that she doesn't get lost in the mage priority pile.

I know it hasn't been too long but how's the bond situation with the Millenium characters? Roland and Precia ended up not being bond whores which made me a little sad since I had to keep rolling for Roland.

>>1577822
They can be summoned without having bonds since the atk is free and the def requires another unit, for now the banner companion, in the future things will probably change, if you compete in PVP you need both bonds anyway. However do not trust Zlong too much, always remember that for some strange reason McClaine is the atk bond of Apotheosis.

>>1575948
Is this skin not on global yet? It’s so good

>>1580919
Not yet. Basically the one good thing left about JP is that they get skins fast tracked like 1 update right after it releases on CN if not simultaneously.

Also it looks like we're getting the Shining Resonance rerun fast tracked? Which makes less sense because they're not going to be releasing with their casting skills. Maybe they wanted to make up for a more dead month with the millennium characters.

Enjoying your game?
Be a shame.....

If it EoS like 3 of mine just did......

>>1581492
It's honestly lasted longer than it probably should have with a niche franchise and with its difficulty to get up to speed for new players. If your games were Squeenix though, you probably should have seen it coming from a company that seems to hate its own longtime fans.

>>1581554
Yeah, it's very surprising how long this game lasted so far.

>>1581554
Zlong... Please just let new players off easy with the Aniki grind. Or just give people infinite stamina at this point. Old players have a morbillion burgers and background grinding is already limited to 20/30. Casting mats are also already limited to 99 a week so what even is the point. But hey, game's lasted a lot longer than anyone thought so maybe those stupid mat packs actually matter for revenue. I do think game's already too old to make any sort of comeback though, but they seem to still be keeping it going and CN is bleeding at a really, really, really, slow pace.

wish they fastracked the casting skills, kirika is decent but sonia is pretty terrible without hers. really weird they're rereleasing them without the casting, anyone who didn't look at future updates would just assume they're throw away powercrept collectible units like the yuyu hakusho ones during their rerun

>>1582208
You're right but other gachas just give an experience boost and some free stuff like Zlong, I think it's a standard now. LM also has the bond problem, if they really want to help new players they should introduce something to bypass the need for other units, especially because many bond blockers are units that are not worth investing in if you are a new player.

Fixing the new player experience is a big thing, but balancing the content would also be nice. I don't want to be in the shoes of new players who have to deal with the low levels of forbidden battleground.

>>1582432
It should be due to the license expiration or something, we won't have casting skills until the update they were released in, after all they could alter the current balance of Apex.

>>1582208
Over a year in and it's still a gigantic pain in the ass. I'll never finish aniki at this rate.

They need to make a 80 difficulty for anikis and just give heavily boosted drop rates for parties. Whales will gladly carry the newfags if drop rates actually matter instead of just sweeping.
They already push speeding through ranks like a bunch of other gachas to get to speed so grinding early level anikis are meaningless.

>>1583490
This

See when other games do this, it ends up cheapening the experience and new players don't stick around, usually spirals into EoS. Not to say it can't be done gracefully, but not in the manner you suggest (not an attack on you as it's a reasonable idea to come up with). Sure, having long form grind able content will filter a lot of new plays as well, but the ones that stay are locked in and will likely spend at some point. Anyway that's why this admittedly niche game is alive still.

>>1583268
Feels weird having more than enough Aniki materials to level up like a dozen new troops if they dropped them.

>>1589827
I'm about to hit 140 of each and I only really have super niche or old soldiers left. Always too lazy to post which not obviously shitty ones here to see if they're actually useful.

im new and wondering if i need to reach some level before the game gives me starting gifts or if there really are none? i only have 120 crystals which is enough for a single pull

>>1590631
They do seem to be running x free pull events every so often nowadays, but there's no new player bonus for rerolling or anything if that's what you're asking. Rerolling is heavily discouraged anyways because of early pity starting at 40/70 before going to 100, and the fact that you will generally just collect most of the roster as you play. This means the maximum you can save is 30 pulls at the start anyways in a reasonable amount of time. You do get a FB bag that lets you pick what faction buffer SSR you want at level 35, which is when their FB is unlocked, and I believe adventurer aid doubles your dailies/exp for the first month.

There is a ton of content to get through. Story/Time rift achievements and secret treasure, map events, timeless trial, etc. that will give you more than enough pulls. About a third of the SRs are also quite strong, but it's not recommended to focus your resources on any more than 6 units anyways until you hit close to at least level 60 or so, because you won't have enough.

>>1590663
Thank you for the detailed answer. Appreciate it.

how's the story in this game? i'm only in the very beginning, but sofar i'm loving how absolutely 90s it is and all the banter between characters. is the story's quality consistent?

>>1590673
Each part is around 50 story chapters or so. Unless you can read JP, which is a little better, or CN, the translation is going to go really downhill starting somewhere in early part 2 and then get only a smidge better late part 2. The dialogue is fine, but the overall plot in part 1 is quite simple. I know some people enjoyed part 1 the most because it's the most self contained and consistent with itself, but my favorite is part 2 because it basically gives you a continuation after Lang 5 and has some of my favorite chapters in the game even if background lore is sort of inconsistent sometimes.

Part 3 and onwards is just not very good. It's not like Tensei's story and characters were bad or anything either and technically there's been a lot of time in between, but it feels like the Tensei characters sometimes act out of character. The original characters are even worse because there's so much filler, too little screen time and you don't really end up caring about most of them at all. Then there's the fact that because they don't have much lore behind them unlike the ones from the mainline games, like 30%+ of their lore is locked behind having the character and doing their Gate of Fate. This combined with the degraded translation quality and I would honestly not fault anyone for just skipping every story chapter in part 3. To be fair, 2 had even worse translation quality past the first few chapters, but I read the rest in JP instead and it was a bit better.

>>1590673
It depends on your expectations and whether you are a fan of the original series.

Part 1 is probably the closest thing to the original series and can actually work as a sequel without altering the prequels endings.
Part 2 is basically a sequel to a bad ending from Lang IV-V that doesn't exist. It's not bad, I personally consider it an insult to the characters after everything they've been through, they deserved to keep their good ending.
Part 3 is a sequel to the bad ending from Lang V and Lang Tensei that doesn't exist. This one is not bad either but let's say it reaches some pretty absurd levels, whether it's positive or negative I'll leave the difficult judgment to posterity.
Echo of Tolivar is slow, really slow, it says goodbye to the protagonists of the first three parts of Mobile (I personally consider this a mistake) and it's not Langrisser since it doesn't even have the premises of a Langrisser but it's not bad if you like JRPG stories. It could, according to some, have ties to Langrisser Millenium which in turn is not part of the original series.

Man they did it for 2cretia and now 2rida. God dammit.

LLR between Feraquea, Varna, Sonya, Jessica, Angelina. They're really giving the hard choices this time around. I really want a Varna LLR because she lost last time to Imelda, but old Jessica LLR would be amazing too. Angelina too since it feels like she really got gimped from getting EE/casting way too early and hasn't been either PvE or PvP relevant in forever for such a major unit. She was used for like only 2 weeks to fish for freezes in Apex.

Luckily got Tiana and Zion in about 120 summons. Can now save for Captain Caramello collab.

Bros... LLR Vargas is being made fun of in CN for being a meta-defining limited bald black dude.

>>1591767
>Angelina
So the SP really is Rachel...

>>1594560
That’s exactly what I wanted. LLR Vargas, a tank to surpass LB. Make him immune to dispels, have multiple revives, omni-range counter and attack twice when attack, also becomes immune to debuffs and prevents act agains / move agains / enemy teleports, reduce physical and magical damage aura for allies, prevent all guard bypass abilities, etc.

>only buy skin with free skintix
>Zlong keep releasing good skins
I'm not feeling good...

I mean she just came out and whales didn't even get a month to enjoy their EoL skin but I'm not complaining.

>>1596849
God FUCKING dam!

>>1596849
How did jp get the new skin before global?

>>1596849
Wew. Celica sure has good skins.

>>1596849
That should have been the EoL, luckily it wasn't.

>>1596913
Good question, I'm still waiting for Kaguya's, and now this one too. Probably Zlong some strange marketing strategy or particular agreements on the jp side.

DON'T do this to me. There's no way Feraquea can beat Jessica. Literally how could anyone care about some generic evil demon chick over the face of the series. If she wins this vote is actually rigged and they planned all 3 LLRs from the last vote.

>>1596913
It's probably just the JP side marketing around how maybe JP buys skin vouchers more than us? Zlong publishes on all servers and theoretically we should all have the same client updates since like 4 years ago. Prior to that JP had a custom client on release that we were supposed to get but didn't which made releasing skins and just moving around updates easier in general, but I guess it's possible that they spagettied somewhere and releasing skins on JP is easier than global.

>>1597059
Most likely it is rigged and Zlong use the vote to involve the community and see which units are the most requested. However Jessica, Sonya, Fera and Varna only need SP, while Angelina is the only one that really needs to be rebuilt from scratch. I honestly prefer SP, 4000 crystals is better than single LLR banners. Vargas didn't need LLR, SP was more than enough, but LLR brings more money and above all allows Zlong to extend the life of the game.

Wait Langrisser like Warsong on the Genesis? The same series? No fucking way?

>>1597473
Way.

>>1597133
>>1597059
I have my doubts that it’s rigged when they went ahead with LLR Vargas. Unless that was just a rumor.

>>1596942
Looking at bannernews I would guess that we're on a similar schedule to CN when it comes to new skin releases.

>>1597481
Is it worth getting into this late?

>>1597059
>evil demon chick
That's why. Though I am surprised she won first place.
>>1597542
If you like Langrisser, sure.

>>1597542
If you don't have high expectations or you're a whale, yes, otherwise forget it, most of the endgame requires a lot of built units so you won't be able to do some endgame modes for a long time. The developers are more interested in old players than new ones, even if you're a whale, given how the banners and the upgrade system work, it's not a given that you'll be able to get the necessary means to face the endgame in a decent time. I'll add that some things are timegated, so the only thing you can do is wait. Last note, it's Langrisser but by now it has very little of Langrisser, except for some, most of the characters from the original games are not very effective and it's almost not even worth pulling them anymore.

p.s. of course forget about being able to compete in high-level PVP

>>1597542
It's a marathon for sure. Even mix-maxed whaling will take ~6 months to start what would be considered end game content. ~8 months for a really lucky, min maxed f2p and grinding daily. Anyone else is looking at a year to a year and a half. It's not like there's any rush though, the game doesn't really FOMO end game content. Also the only alternative gacha for SRPGs is FEH unless you want to rotate games releasing and going eos constantly. Every gacha is free though so you can always just try and drop it whenever.

>new LB skin
>now a good Eshean skin too
Oh no no no no this will be the first time I will have to buy a skin pack.

>>1598065
Same, both skins are awesome.

>>1597665
>Last note, it's Langrisser but by now it has very little of Langrisser, except for some, most of the characters from the original games are not very effective
But my Empire team from 4 years ago...

>>1600471
Your Empire team from 4 years ago is actually one of the ones that are still effective. By my count not including LLRs, around 13/56 are unironically commonly used in endgame and like 11/56 do more than well enough. 24/56 I guess is a minority, but these are characters that at minimum are 3 years old now too.

The only time you'll scarcely see actual Langrisser characters is Apex. It also ignores that unless you go for the a start of like Isolde/AO/Icemelda/Andrio/Eshean, Glory and Empire are still the 2 best ways to progress, which means every new player is likely just building Lang 2 units because they bond each other and share factions unlike newer units.

>>1598065
I like the cat mount, it's very cute. I can't say I'm a fan of much else, don't really like the makeup in the art or the chibi.

havent played in like 2 years, changed phones and just forgot about the game
how hard is so start up from zero? last thing i remember was having a really hard time after going to some island, or a second map
mostly i just want to replay the story mode instead of buying the switch game...

>>1604383
If you have an old account and can recover it, which is possible depending on the email you used, I recommend recovering your old account especially if it is at lv 70 or close to it, it will save you some initial grind at least.

If you want to start from scratch, here's what I think >>1597665

>>1604420
managed to recover it, i have leon, ledin and elwin at 7k power and a bunch of other ssr at 6k, but i never really used them
its really overwhelming to see all the new features, last time i played was 3 years ago it seems
i have like... 11k crystals i think and 50 tickets, should i roll for someone? i dont recognize anyone anymore

>>1604539
Don't returning player get to roll on the past two banners too or something? You can try rolling for LLR Chris or, well, current rate up Zion is good for PvE too. Tiana and the upcoming collab are Apex characters.

I can't believe Fellatio beat Jessica.

>>1597059
>>1606299
We have 4 Jessicas already, we really didn't need another.
That said, I'm not happy about my wife winning the poll. LLRs have been a huge monkeys paw so far, garish redesigns that are barely recognizable and PVP whalebait skillsets that have little to do with what made the characters unique in the first place. Feraquea was the perfect candidate for an SP, too, as her skillset is mostly fine and her niche unique; her issues where largely due to her statistics like her shit soldier bonus, no passive stat boost in her talent and painfully low multipliers on all skills.
I guess I should count my blessings and just hope this means they'll record more voicelines for Saori Terai, her voice is pure sex and is criminally underused.

>>1606581
>LLRs have been a huge monkeys paw so far

I don't know what I expected out of Vargas. It wasn't this, though. I can imagine the hurdles they had to go through to think up a reason to get people to roll for the bald guy, but it feels like what someone would put up as an april fools joke.

It makes me sad they made yet another cute skin for someone you literally never use unless there's some teleporting business that needs to be done.

>>1611448
It's sad and the saddest thing is that she's not even useful in epochal odyssey, her only purpose for Zlong was to make players pull as much as possible for Epsilon.

Believe it or not I'm still waiting for a decent skin for Betty, as far as skins go at least Mu is lucky.

>+1 to all secret realm shit outside of gobs and casting

JP trying to fuck my burgers again. Yes I don't have to do the extra secret realm things since dragon is really the only thing I "need" any more but it feels bad not getting the bonus.

>>1612241
Have you finished all the soldier training?

>>1612442
There may be some niche soldiers but that's it. I've been stockpiling aniki mats since I just cba to figure out if x soldier could be useful.

>heavy centurion, stone colossus, vanguard lancer, dark centurion, hoplite, treant guard
>heavy cavalry, guardian cavalry, scorpio
>tide master, lizardman, envoy of the islands, leviathan, ocean priest, pirate raider, tidal elf, dragon trooper
>elf master, wild expedition, catapult, siege ballista, faceless, bandit, half human rogue, mist dancer, samurai, forest night elf
>skeleton knight, pact golem, exorcist, undead knight, spider demon elf
Idk the names on global so I just took it from bannernews.

>>1613030
Most of that stuff is niche or powercreeped by new soldiers.

Hoplite might be useful for attack lancer units, but they are very rare
Wild Expedition are not bad, I use them for Tiana Assassin
Catapult might be useful for some cheese
Faceless should be BiS for anyone who can use them

>>1611798
>I'm still waiting for a decent skin for Betty
Fucking criminal how she doesn't have more skins.

SP Tiaris gets older, nice. Not quite sure she needed one but making her even better isn't something I would complain about. The two new girls seem like they should be PvP focused but they also seem to be fairly eh.
>>1611798
I'm quite fond of both of her skins but I wouldn't ever get a EoL skin and also wouldn't bother hitting lotto for her other one since I'll never use her.

>>1619796
>SP Tiaris gets older
Will she get new voice lines?

I didn't know this was a thing, that's pretty damn convenient.

Good god fuck me AB looks like it got a full reset. I hate this shit almost as much as Ragnarok. I assume there aren't any more recent text guides or reasonable length video guides which sucks since I don't remember anything about these.

>>1620615
In Global it didn't happen, why the reset? I prefer challenges like AB to Ragnarok, in AB the only thing you need are some key units that in general are old by now to get a decent score, if you aim for the top then that's another story.

>>1620681
Devs posted an article that it's a bug. I hope that's true since I really cba to figure out what to do again. Actually I think I got my S ranks purely by brute force and ignoring mechanics.

I need things to spend crystals on... I lucked out on Captain Commando in 120 and now I'm just sitting on 710 rolls waiting for Enya.

>>1621448
Many would like to be in your shoes, I guess either you have RNGesus on your side or you don't like the latest units released.

>>1621572
And they just gave out another 30 today. I got lucky on Icemelda and BS in under 100 both, so I tossed until first SSR for every new banner in the past 6 months except Tyrantel since Enya's wish would be until there. But up till Tyrantel I'm only missing like 6 SSRs. So now I have first world problems like who am I actually supposed to put on the wish banner after Tyrantel/Tabres.

>>1622312
If you are lacking on Eshean go for her, she is a beast in any mode.

>30 summons for thanksgiving
Holy fucking BASED

>>1582208
This is the thing that blows my mind.. I understand keeping players addicted and always having to log in, and frankly this was the only game to trick me into it (I've never fallen for a gacha game before).
But toward the end, I wanted to quit, but I didn't have the willpower due to sunk cost fallacy, so I started buying hundreds of dollars worth of shit to clear aniki and other bs grindy shit on my account, and then would issue charge backs for it all on my card. Zlon couldn't fight it (given they're in China) and they never banned my account.
I've seen how much it costs to get all of that shit cleared like aniki and bonds and even then, despite all of the purchases and charge backs on that account, I was still struggling to 100% all of that shit.
That's what got me to quit finally, I was two years behind the launch and I knew it'd prob be another two years to catch up, esp with all the new grinds they were adding...
I loved so much about the game, lots of neat little ways of handingly the srpg genre. I just wish they would've been more reasonable about the grind, and maybe allowed high levels to take friends into their maps to help power level them a little. My friend tried it, liked it and then quit because I couldn't take him into my high tier challenges and it was a waste of my stamina to help him.through his lower levels, and worst, he didn't even get credit for clearing if I tried helping him.clear the low.level stuff.

Again, such potential, such a great IP, PvP was good too with those capped special matches/modes but too unkind to newbies and people a year or two behind.

Is it worth getting into this?

Finally done with Ragnarok. Not all stages, but all rewards claimed. Absolutely fuck this mode, hope they never do anything like it again.

>>1624678
Probably the best srpg gacha currently, not that it’s a high bar to clear. A lot of content to go through, enough pulls to eventually get everyone, a lot of difficult end game PvE, lowish powercreep, and surprisingly good PvP for a gacha. But you’re in for like a year-long journey if you don’t min-max before you even start hitting endgame though. There’s quite a bit of timegated stuff, even if you have a lot of content to clear before it. Dailies are quite quick nowadays and you can even grind in the background, but game really expects you to push content frequently to progress.

Like the other anon said, Aniki is the longest grind followed by casting mats and they’re almost sequential even though you get dailies for both. Technically maxed Aniki isn’t needed for any content but it makes it easier and casting is technically easy if you aren’t building everyone. But the timeline is just so insane that even not maxing takes forever. Aniki takes close to 3 years to max with monthlies and grinding 20 stages a day. Closer to 4 years or more without. If you want an average level to clear endgame stuff, it’ll still be like a year grinding 20 stages a day albeit in the background nowadays.

>>1625071
Thanks bro. I'll try it just to see

Huh.

captain commando's the best unit ever

AI slop generation is sadly the most fun I've had in a while. Some of these are very funny, Also it seems if I pick Velzaria, with the same choices, I get twinks instead of old men or adutls. I let apple do it's "magic" on this anyway to erase the shame of people knowing I used an AI image generator.

>>1624487
They're just straight up handing out SSRs for free again every quarter now, but for some reason still won't reduce the Aniki grind yet. It's actually insane that it's harder to max out Aniki than collect 90% of the roster. SSR aniki items are literally more valuable for new players than vouchers or entire units.

>>1628635
Not really, to complete Covenant and Ragnarok you need much more than three teams since there are challenges that require specific stuff to get all the rewards. It's true that aniki is very important but not having units and specific equipment in the long run becomes a more annoying problem than not having the stats since you don't have the means to understand if you can pass the stats check. Now the rarest resource farmable daily in the game are the materials for the last levels of casting, up to level 8 it is feasible but 9 and 10 are scarce.

However I agree that aniki should have a higher drop rate and maybe not random, it is not uncommon to have a surplus of a material compared to others, but aniki and enchants are probably the things on which players spend the most money after having 6* a unit, so for new players things will not change. If I'm not mistaken in the latest Chinese update they added the lv 75 aniki which increases the drop rate and gives new material for SP soldiers, of course this doesn't change much, a new player doesn't have much hope of surviving a lv 75, so as usual the ones who gain the most are always the oldest.

Next crossover preview

>>1629307
I have no idea. Rumble Roses? Dead or Alive?

>>1629344
Dead or Alive

>>1629307
>>1629474
It better actually be my girls Kasumi and Ayane and not those fucking insufferable franchise killers Marie and Honoka again.

>>1629511
Knowing this game it's more likely to be Ryu and Gen over Marie and Honoka. I don't think you have to worry though, Kasumi is guaranteed to be in from the promo and if not Ayane with Ryu as the SR, it's going to be Ryu as her banner mate and maybe a bone thrown in to the later entries for the SR.

>>1629659
We'll have to see if they plan to make the antagonists playable or not. Kasumi, Ayane and Ryu are obvious, the fourth could be Hayate or one of the other female ninja gaiden, or Raidou or Nyotengu. Marie and Honoka do not have much place in a crossover since it is much easier to justify the presence of ninjas than all the other DoA characters. The SR character is not guaranteed, the latest crossover is proof of that.

Teaser images for DoA 6 collaboration released

Kasumi, Nyotengu and Marie, considering their past collaborations I expected more from Zlong.

>>1631098
Well I expected them to toss one SR for the later entries, and since we had basically 4 dudes with the Commando collab they might've thrown away Ryu, but I didn't expect 2 from the later ones and only 1 OG.

>>1631098
No Ayane? Interesting choice, Zlong...

>>1631098
I hope Marie is good.

>>1631098
>Nu-DOA slop like Nyotengu and Marie instead of Ayane, Ryu, or Hayate
Fucking dropped. I warned them I would uninstall if they made the fake loli or honkers the collab characters and I fucking knew they would.

>>1629659
>>1631098
>Marie instead of Ayane
How do you intend to take responsibility for giving me fake hope, anon?

>>1631954
I don't know, as a fan of Ayane I was disappointed too, considering all the oldschool collaborations I expected classic and iconic characters from the series. Hayabusa is male so I should have expected his absence considering the situation in the Chinese gacha industry but Ayane's absence definitely not, it's like Alicia without Selvaria or Yusuke without Toguro, a bizarre choice that was perhaps imposed by Koei Tecmo .Now we still need to know who the free unit will be, I would assume it's Marie but at this point I expect anything.

Unless you are a collector or an Apex player, look on the bright side, skip the banner and save for better stuff since there will probably be the single unit banner after.

>>1631954
Well I like Nyotengu too. I'm gonna say KT told them to shoehorn in Marie because honestly she does make the $$$.

Also I got Enya in 30, so now I'm once again just sitting on my fat stacks of 750 pulls. Maybe I'll pick up the Tiaris skin but Vargas is already in 3 patches again and then we might have the DoA collab.

>>1632199
Kasumi looking delicious, gotta say.

>>1547925 (OP)
Thinking about getting into some new comfy underground gacha, since Guardian Tales feels more and more like one big humiliation ritual with every update. Decide to stop on Langrisser since i kinda have a thing for srpgs and it's have a localisation for my language. What should i know about it and is it even worth it?

>>1634804

>>1625071
>>1624487
>>1597665
>>1597752
>>1590663
(from other anons too)

TL;DR: It's a long, long ride. I don't think any gacha srpg will hold up a candle to the better normal games unless you like the resource management aspect and gambling specifically, but if you had to pick a gacha that was the closest this would be it.

I recently started GFL2 because it's another SRPG, and I'm reminded again why, besides the graphics and free 3 rewinds, that Langrisser is the superior SRPG. GFL2 wasn't bad, but there's not nearly enough content at all and even challenge maps are still too easy in comparison to Lang. There is like nothing I've played in any gacha that scratches the itch of spending an hour or more reading arcane text boxes about enemy skills and mechanics that are complete bullshit, actually playing the stage and coming out the other side.

>>1635048
Yep, that's sound pretty fucked up. Not like the GT, where the main way to power up is gather collections of items and getting characters and their uniques, with new being added every now and then, essentially creating an infinite grind treadmill, is really any better.

Is the game currently being at the state of EoS/show it's early stages or something like that? I know i shouldn't expect a 6-year old game to be thriving or anything, but with the 1-3 year requirements to get to the late game, really starting to ask yourself if you even see it before the game die.

>>1635317
Well I played GT too. I would say the main difference between aniki and collections is that aniki is capped. They haven't added any grind to it for 3 years now so it's hardly infinite. Also you don't waste pull currency on it, it's just stamina and time. Rather, new progression usually comes in the form of a new game mode instead. Also you're not just skipping random stuff, but the 1 year you're taking to get to endgame is still full of relevant content.

3 years is a really long time to guess on. In Global/KR/JP, the game is under $200k or so per month. Games have survived on less, but it's not getting better. The game mainly relies on CN to carry, where it still makes the most for an SRPG, except FEH I guess, at around $1.5m per month bouncing around top 25-15. Out of the competitors, FEH sits at $3m, SoC is $800k/500k/500k, and GFL2 is $500k and just released in Global.

SoC dropped pretty hard and it's not even 1st anniversary yet. GFL2 had quite the successful release for global, but honeymoon phase is hardly an indicator of anything.

It's not an SRPG and I don't play it anymore either. but if you want a game that definitely isn't going to EoS and in my opinion has pretty robust gameplay too, you might want to try Arknights. Not as difficult, but a lot of variety in game modes too.

>>1635317
Here is a list of the game's pros and cons that new players should know before starting:

Cons:
New player experience is almost non-existent, if I remember correctly for a f2p it takes a few months before reaching account level 70, the maximum but it doesn't mean you're in a safe zone but rather it's the beginning of real farming.
Bonds system, basically to unlock the final increase in stats most of the units need one or more units, and many times these bonds units are not the ones you would pull.
Stats check, units check and equipment check, there is not much to say, there is no way to know when you are really ready for a challenge and in the endgame having specific units and niche equipment is recommended if not essential.
The game is difficult and requires time even for a single challenge, if you have all the necessary resources victory is not assured.
Stamina system, everything you do except endgame stuff requires stamina which is limited unless you buy it.

Pros:
For a new player there is a lot to do
No need for copies, through the gate of fate system you can upgrade a unit without needing copies, of course it takes time, about three months if not I'm wrong.
Guilds are only for obtaining materials and the only guild activity that is left takes very little time.
Community, both reddit and discord, willing to help.

Pros/Cons
This is a problem, at least for me, that I have encountered for a while now, many challenges are won with what are called "cheese strategies", basically having the right resources to bypass or simplify the mechanics of the challenge, considering the few content creators for the game, it is difficult to understand if these strategies are the only possible ones or if there is a right way thought up by the developers.

However the game shouldn't reach EoS for now but pvp is becoming less and less new player friendly even if you spend money and in general many new players abandon the game before account level 70 for various reasons.

How does one decide on which class to use on Lightbringer? Am I going to have to dump AB enchants on both of them?

>>1635902
Holy only. Holy is better in PvE against demon and better in Apex because she can equip Nightbloom.

>>1635902
if you want a good idea of the best class look at the highest rated built players of that unit on your server i think its the bottom left button on the character menu

>>1636007
I don't recommend it, many use the class with the highest stats and the skills that give the most power to increase the ranking.

>>1635902
The best place for reference is the Chinese wiki, depending on the character you can find different builds.

https://wiki.biligame.com/langrisser/%E9%A6%96%E9%A1%B5

Started today. Now who do I get?

>>1635952
>>1636007
>>1636079
I realized I had aneurysm, I meant Brightsummoner.

>>1636320
Roll Sovereign of the Abyss, Elwin from event shop. Light of Genesis as a glory mage and Liana as another healer and Elwin's atk bond or Tiaris. I'm not sure how good Enya is as a solo healer for early game progression. Lightbringer is a nice glory tank too. Since Enya is Yeless buffer you can also consider getting Isolde. Alternatively, if you want to go Empire then get Bern from event shop and Lucretia instead Light of Genesis.
>>1636463
Mage doesn't have much use in pve unless you need to snipe someone on first turn. Other usual long range mages like Lucretia or LoG are better than her. Holy can do a bit of everything and have longer range while buffing your team. Both have their use in Apex. Mage as an assassin and first turn snipe or setup for Z2 to jump. Holy is good to spam Tenyo on your team and buff your main dps hard while still having someone to dispel and 24/7 miracle. Holy also synergize well with Tiana.

>>1636463
>>1636505
Holy is the best class but Mage is useful if you need an extra dps since it has the highest offensive stats and depending on which skill you choose you have a dps that can use both ST and AoE attacks with conditional AA and the summon is an extra attack unit. BS is probably one of the few units where I tried to maximize both class masteries since both are useful.

Well top 128 isn’t so bad, probably could have gone further if I played a bit more seriously.

>>1634804
>i kinda have a thing for srpgs
You should try Sword of Convallaria is very Fun.

Found something cool at Traders in Japan. No I didn't buy it.

>>1547925 (OP)
is this a good game? Playing Sword of Convalkaria made me like this type of games

>>1645027
For 980 yen you should've

>>1645160
The best srpg gacha and probably the closest gacha to the real game aside from new Wizardry game. The game has its own downsides of course.

>>1644668
Damn anon, I believe you can do better next season.

>>1645596
>new Wizardry game
That game is making money? Or is dead?

>>1645842
I stopped following the game after I quitted. I assume it is doing fine in Japan at least.

How important are these guys? Been having terrible gacha luck recently in other games and after dumping 100 here I duped a 6* so not really feeling throwing out more tickets.

>>1647288
If you apex seriously, you need Tiana. Zion is also Tiana's bond. Tiana is whatever in pve. Zion is a protagonist faction buffer and good in some ragnarok stages. He probably is good in general for pve but you can live without him.

>>1547925 (OP)
Why cant they use that money to make more games?

Next SP after Tiaris: Landius
Next collab after DoA: Fairy Tail

>>1650972
>SP Landius
About time.

I am out of Angelica robots. They really should just give them out for free at this point.

>>1650972
Now we just need SP Jugler and the OG tanks will be complete!

>>1656046
I still have 60 but I'm worried that those will melt away since we have been getting less it feels like.

>>1668182
I almost never get more than 4 a week, I don't bother manually doing that shit so I just wait till Sunday shop reset. The bunch from Mirror World kept me going for a while but it finally ran out.

My current account is such a mess and old. I'm almost tempted to make a new one.

>>1682988
Could honestly be a fun experiment

Enya dropping in a couple hours, I imagine she's one of them must rolls? Also I feel like the next few months after will all be highly recommended rolls.

Holy shit this Urushihara style Sonia and her bouncing tits, I wasn't expecting this.

How strong does your team need to be to start covenant?

>>1702645
Not much if you know what you're doing. You need three full teams if possible and at least two characters built enough for the first two challenges and a team, generally the strongest, to defeat the boss, a lot depends on what units you have, the first Thor challenges can be faced with a team that also has SR units. In terms of upgrades to be on the safe side you need to have the soldiers you use often at level 10 and the stats training at least 40/40/40, the heroes instead should have at least the first three bonds at lv 10, the heart bond at lv 10 and the atk at lv 10, if the unit instead converts def/mdef you can leave the atk at 0 and upgrade the def/mdef to 10.

What the hell is a LLR Hero?

>>1708849
It's just an SSR on a limited banner that gets no GoF story, but comes with 25 instead of 15 shards on initial clear and you get a background. Thematically it's "reimaginings" of fan favorite SRs because SP made them 0 cash. Also useful to mention that they don't need anyone else for bonds.

Haven't played this game in years. Starting a fresh account actually. Is there a character I should keep an eye out for?

>>1710620
There are so few of us nowadays that it's hard to get answers on stuff, sorry. LLR Vargas is pretty strong if you could pick him up now. I heard people hyping up Sylrna on release, who will be available in about 3 months. Not sure if opinions changed after people used her for a while. Tiaris gets an SP class next month (?) if you want to save 4k crystals for her. Either way, she is the new Dark Reincarnation buffer if you want one. There's the Dead or Alive collab in 2 months, but I haven't heard people talking about anything else. The only other thing of note is that LLR Feraquea just dropped, and the LLR chars have all been pretty good so far.

>>1717087
LLR Feraquea looking real good

>Hey you know what would be cool? Dump the new character banner after maint, AND give one of them a skin for ticket! Genius!
This is worse than Celica getting a skin like a week or two after lmao.

>>1723790
Yeah, but it's also better than some units only having a lotto skin years after release. Especially for JP they know they want to cash in on people's vouchers for the new unit.

Unless you mean it might eat into EoL sales because there's a second skin. Honestly, I don't think releasing a skin changes the formula for most whales on whether they're dropping the $200 or not anyways.

Did they post the full blow ups anywhere? See nothing on twitter.
>>1724873
More that they make EoL less fancy or something because that isn't the only skin. Not that I care about the feeling of whales but the thought still popped up.

I'm digging the new girl's look.

>>1742308
Huh, so they are finally making Eshean's adjutant Leya playable. Elvis seems to be popular among women on twitter. Guessing he is Evil Elvis now by the look, but I only want to read so much since keeping up with the ongoing story gives me a small reason to keep going. Unfortunately there seem to be TWO months with Millenium characters, which they've done nothing to make people give a single shit about.

So just got back after a few years and I see we have lots of new Heroes
Couple of new modes too

Just looking at the Floating City makes me want to uninstall the game

>>1743584
>a few years
>it was actually 432 days
Damn

>>1743599
Bye butch

I quit last year. How alive is global right now? It was dwindling badly when I left.

>>1744912
It's pretty dead in terms of people talking about it, but that doesn't really matter for the vast majority of content. They haven't done actual guild competitions in forever, and it takes less effort just to set farming maps to auto. I guess they could close it suddenly due to not having enough players, but right now it just feels the same as always.

>>1744912
In terms of in-game it doesn't feel any different honestly whenever I check rankings or use the resplendent thing to check trophies. If anything the DoA collab seems like it gave a small influx of new players and returnees who will inevitably leave again when they get bored, as is the right way to play a gacha

This thread is deader than ever though. It felt like there were only 3-4 of us here anyways, but after 4chan went down back in April I just stopped checking by every week. Other game threads are just more active and have/had Lang players anyways.

Hey lads, would this thread be interested in having a player representing it in our 4cc team?
>if you don't know what i'm talking about https://pastebin.com/nr9ujDMN
tldr: it's a cpu vs cpu football cup with teams representing the boards, here is an example how a match looks like: https://implying.fun/video/spring24/2024-05-05/?t=2:21:00.0
Right now we're taking suggestions for players/music and deciding it all in a roster poll next friday so feel free to suggest anything that might represent this thread or have a funny in-game name, for things that affect the team as a whole, look into >>1748270

>>1748678
Well, as you can see, we have so few people left that it wouldn't be much of an addition. But thanks for the invite.

People in JP took a while to catch on but a couple months ago they started to put Ymir in their cancer defenses. Now that baldy just came out there are already people who have even further boosted their cancer defenses. These fucks never even hold on to their top 10 rankings for more than a couple days at most. Those rankings don't even mean anything either.

>>1751450
In global there are players who use LLR Vargas, Ymir, Rozen with EE, Sage of the trees and if I'm not mistaken also Betty in the same team. I understand that everyone plays as they want but this way they do nothing but harm the new players who have every right to reach the maximum rewards in the arena as soon as possible considering how much the new player experience still sucks after 6 years.

>never touched Einherjar because it's a pain
>only now realized it gives free stats and shit in pve
Mother fucker. At least it doesn't cost stamina like story, TR and portal leap. I only just recently got to part 3 and unlocked the last TR. Portal leap is lol.

>>1755779
It doesn't give any stats outside the mode, because the stat boosts are completely broken. It gives you a 1 time use skill basically, and some are quite good like Cherie's. I'm not sure if bannernews has a list of what they do yet.

Leon - Gives a aura that gives a 50% revive to allies in 3 blocks, 2 total triggers once per unit. At the end of next turn, restore 25% health to all allies in the aura for each trigger remaining.

Elwin - Summon in 3 spaces, 5 move, can teleport an enemy with 5 range next to him and applies a debuff that gives your team 20% skill damage if that enemy dies.

Liana - Gives a buff that restores 2x int to all allies at end of turn for 2 turns.

Bozel - Buff that gives 10% damage dealt when actively attacking for each debuff on enemy for 2 turns, up to 40%.

Cherie - Gives buff for 2 turns that gives skill span+2 for aoes, and deals 2x atk+int as fixed damage after dealing damage.

Hein - 3 line aoe 6 range, deals 0.4x damage to enemies and heals 4x int and 2 debuffs from allies.

Zerida - Summon with 5 move that deals 1.5x damage. Before battle applies a debuff that increases chance to be crit by 30% and crit damage taken by 30% for 1 turn.

Landius/Shelf/Alte aren't in game yet and I can't find them on CN, but they'll be unlocked in a month.

>>1757508
Luckily, at least so far, this stuff isn't even necessary for the last challenge of the event. Zlong has really screwed up the way summons are unlocked, due to the mode's restrictions on unit usage, new players are at a disadvantage or they won't even be able to unlock them.

>>1757597
Well you only need B+ for the sand. In addition, it completely removes covenant for the mode, so ironically while the unit restrictions are tougher, you can clear it completely before even starting Ragnarok. You can also do it without the bonus units, since a lot of the maps have enough ele recovery rate sources, the bonus units just make it more convenient to rush faster.

Also while some units like Isolde/Icemelda are completely broken for the mode, you can always do the mechanics normally. Where new players end up having to split resources is that the fire nodes for this map require well built aoe units, who aren't used for most other PvE, and/or units with both strong ST and AoE within the same skill set, which most non-modern units won't have.

Well the mode was fun till the 1-20s. At that point there were too many annoying trash mobs that you can't one shot, especially those ice slimes and 50% max hp shield before battle fuckers. I'll eventually clear 1-29 and the challenge.

The stat check is too high and basically if you don't want to go crazy you need to have certain units that make boss fights less tedious. The funniest part is that summons could be useful but those who manage to unlock them are strong enough not to need them.

I played Langrrisser briefly when it first came out but I stopped for one reason or another. I reinstalled it on a whim and have had some stupid luck with my pulls. Other than Eshean, is there anyone in particular I should keep my eye out for to fill out my roster? Just looking to hulk smash my way through PvE content and enjoy the art/music.

>>1773255
Dragonslayer is busted. After that is AO, Icemelda, and Ilia. This list is pretty good, but fair warning there's just no way to hulk smash through endgame. Although at 32 you're still months away so if you're still playing by then I would pick up reading what skills do at least.

Appreciate the response. Currently on Chapter 17 and things are definitely getting harder but I can always grind a bit to make up the difference.

Is the pull count/"pity" in this game shared across banners of the same type? I'm guessing not. I threw a tenner on Ilia's banner but didn't get her so I'm trying to just figure out how things work.

Overall love the music and art. Game has some teeth to it as well. But it also seems hilariously scummy with how many micro transactions they try to push on players. I intend to be f2p.

>>1773472
Pity is account wide and carries through everything, separate for equipment banners but you should never be rolling for equipment because they're all free.

It is very funny how much they try to push the store packs and stuff, but it's basically the only way they make money. Other than EoL skins, you'll eventually just get everything as f2p if you stay long enough. If you roll destiny banners and oathsworns, you should average out to a good amount more than 2 new characters a month, which is higher than the release rate. Most of the packs also sell stuff like enchants, Aniki mats, and Covenant mats which cuts the grind down a smidge if you dump like hundreds.

>>1547925 (OP)
Is this game still doing that bullshit of automatically binding the progress to your DEVICE instead of a online account or pasword?

Hibiscus and Randele came out last week on JP, duped Hibiscus in a single roll and Randele came 8 later. The former seems useless even in pvp, and I know the latter is based once she gets her exclusive. Also is flag with that bonus worth it for a little more SP soldier shit? I got Saint Knights to stage 1 purely for Tiaris and might ignore stage 2. Like half of them seem pretty shit or not worth the mats since something better is coming out later.
>>1774256
Obviously it's different for JP but my account has been bound to Line from launch. I imagine global let you bind to Google or Apple a while back.

There was a time I remember global could permanently stick your account to the device after uninstalling it, which made near impossible to reroll

>>1774256
>>1774327
I don't remember the game binding to your device, and I don't think it's even possible for a game to do so after you completely delete it. Facebook binding has been there from the start, and they added Twitter a few months after, then Google a few months after that. If you're referring to unbinding accounts from those online logins, we still can't do that, but you can send a discord message and they can do it for you.

>>1774304
Nah, like you said half of them aren't really worth it. But even then, with events/dailies I'm almost caught up. Maybe if you haven't finished Aniki it would still be worth it to farm at the same time.

>>1774304
Hibiscus should be treated as a long range archer/assassin, ignore the talent, I used her without atk bond in the last forbidden and she did not do badly at 4*, Randele even without EE is strong in pve. If you do not have controllers to waste, ignore the SP soldiers, some future ones are decent upgrades but others are only useful to make you spend materials accumulated over time.

Kinda disappointed in myself that I gave up on Langrisser so early on when it first came out. I'm having a lot of fun right now. The music and visuals pop so damn much, and I really enjoy the user interface (skeuomorphic design!). Been slowly making some progress and it's impressive that this game has been out as long as it has and barely anyone talks about it. Probably has a decent following somewhere else. My guess is SK.

Still fishing for Ilia/Eshean and hoping I can land either before the banner expires.

>>1775998
Langrisser Mobile has several problems and is niche and, let's face it, the IP is old and little known, it's not like Fire Emblem which has continued to release new games over time.

>>1776310
I absolutely hated the time I spent with Fire Emblem Heroes. I'm just glad that I'm enjoying the time I have with it. I'm sure it has problems but as a new player I'm not exactly bumping against the edge of bleeding-edge content so I'm relatively oblivious potential shortcomings at present.

There's something to be said for staying in your lane and serving a niche audience.

>>1775998
It's just CN now, JP/KR are barely above global. To its credit though, KR did a lot when it first released, which was why they went for Archeland being KR first. Most people can only play a game for so long if there's next to zero discussion of it online though.

Modern gaming culture has so much brainrot. You can just enjoy things in a vacuum regardless of what others think or care.

Is it worth getting into the game at this point?

Is it worth getting into the game at this point?

Thanks to the flood of SSR aniki boxes with the SP soldiers I finally got rid of that red dot on the soldier button. Didn't feel good leveling the last few garbage soldiers I had but at least that's done with.

>>1781709
I had some trepidation over starting the game so late in its lifecycle but I'm having a lot of fun with it right now. New player experience can be somewhat unforgiving at times, depending on your pull luck. Auto-battle can't be trusted unless you're punching down on early-game or under leveled enemies.

>>1781709
As a veteran who's completed almost all the endgame challenges, except for the ones that require specific items, I can tell you

Yes, regarding the progression to level 70, while difficult, it's not bad.
No, regarding the endgame and most events, depending on the player, it can be frustrating not to be able to complete some challenges that provide useful resources.

The game, like many others, has its problems but the experience varies from person to person.

Man the Dragalia memories...

Whoa, mama. Gotta get that chocolate elf dancer.

>>1784380
Her left hand looks weird. Otherwise 10/10 sex.

>>1785644
So now that my account is in the low 50s I'm realizing that I cant run off faction units anymore because they do no damage. So it seems she's just a pretty bench warmer.

I just need one more Yeless Legends nigga and I'll be gucci. Currently using Eshean as my 5th and only ten levels ago she was shredding enemies no problem. Now she's just a glorified buffer and 2nd turn giver who can maybe sometimes take someone down who is low in HP.

The newbie bonus is about to expire, too, so no more double drops from the sacred realm. So it seems the true Langrisser starts here.

>>1788959
You've reached the point where many new players usually start to leave the game.

From what little I understand, you're using Yeless as a faction. If you want to use off-faction units, you can use skills like Strengthen o Mass Attack to increase their attack. The first is single-target while the second is AoE. Without knowing what units you have, it's difficult to give advice.

However, as I usually advise new players, it's better to pull with your brain than with your dick, especially at the beginning it's better to have strong units that maybe you don't like rather than having units that you like but are too niche or even useless.

>>1788959
Yeah, it's one thing to miss 10% from enchants or the effective 11% from bond 5, even less if you're not endgame since they assume a lower bonus, but FB is an automatic 20% added on fully at level 35 in it's own category and a 12-15% damage bonus. Not having an attack buff is basically a death knell for most dps if you want them to hit hard during the mid game, because it's not until late, late game do the stats from endgame stuff + very good enchants reasonably outscale enemies.

On the other hand, when you unlock Eternal Temple at 55, they separate the fights by factions and on-faction gets a 40% buff so FBs don't work there anyways.

Don't forget to set your stamina to auto grind Aniki before you do your dailies because it's literally half your damage.

>>1789022
I've got Sylnra, Zion, Isolde, and Enya as my core. Eyeballing the faction, Celica, Virelia, Tiana, and Randele look interesting but I cant say what they do. Kek.

I was hoping to actually get Shem but got the chocowife instead.

>>1789400
When trying to obtain a unit, always check the bonds; you need at least one bond to unlock the heart bond for increased stats. ATK bonds for DPS, DEF bonds for tanks and for the rare units that convert DEF and/or MDEF to ATK.

Regarding your team:
Sylrna is a good unit, she has no bond issues, and you can upgrade her up to 6* since she can't be obtained off-banner.
Enya, as above.
Zion is a good unit and can last a long time without Tiana (DEF).
Isolde is a good unit, but without bonds she becomes useless. The ideal would be to obtain Precia (ATK), but if you could obtain Jayce (DEF), she would be usable.
Macaera is a decent unit, and the only bond she needs is Shem (DEF).

Regarding the other units:
Celica is a good unit but needs Ymir (ATK) and Elisse (DEF)
Virelia is a good unit but needs Precia (ATK) and Nemia (DEF)
Tiana is a good unit but is more PVP than PVE; the only bond she needs is Zion (DEF)
Randele is an excellent unit; she only needs Broken-winged Bird (DEF).

As you may have guessed, one of the biggest problems in the game is bonds; a unit without at least one bond is practically useless except in very rare cases. Over time, the developers have started releasing units that are less bond-dependent, but this is random.

Two useful resources

>>1789588
Lmao what kind of name is Broken-Winged Bird

Appreciate the response. Looks like I'll continue to fish to Shem and then be on the lookout for Randele and bondmate banners. Will keep using Eshean as a bluffslut for the time being.

Sacred Realm without the newbie bonus feels like shit.

>>1789701
You get used to it; it's not uncommon to have periods when there are more chances of daily rewards or more GoF. However, remember to farm Aniki every day in addition to the two daily rewards.

Regarding Shem, if you want to get him because you like him, that's fine, If you're doing it to unlock the bond, then I recommend saving resources. Maybe it's not clear, but when a unit only needs one bond, the other is usually unlocking one of the unit's classes, in Macaera's case, her ATK bond is unlocked by upgrading her to the second assassin class.

Now that most people have baldy at 5* on JP I'm really fucking annoyed. 9/10 defenses have him in it and are cancer even without him. I've manualed several so far and actually still ended up losing a few which pisses me off. I don't know why people care so god damn much when the fucking niggers have 28k points and lose nothing from defense losses.

>>1790099
It probably won't help but you could use Clotaire to disable Dragonslayer's revive or Ymir's 3c or Sword of Light and Shadow's 3c. If you have other tanks with Dragonslayer, you can use a unit that has Forget. One problem you might run into is that tanks might have Bond of Arashi, making it nearly impossible to break through a defense of two or more tanks.

Among the worst defenses I've seen in Global:
Dragonslayer, Sage of the Trees (usually low HP), Betty, Rozen (EE), Ymir
Dragonslayer, Sage of the Trees (usually low HP), Betty, Rozen (EE), another tank (usually Jugler)

In general, it's not worth wasting time with these "cowards", they don't realize they slow down new players who need as many resources as possible, even those few crystals earned daily in the Arena.

>>1790154
It's usually the end of the day before bed but I still have runs left when I resort to dealing with bs. The last one I had was Ymir in the middle with baldy behind him flanked by healers. Pretty gay.

>>1789758
I ended up getting him (and another Macaera) today. I now have my core 5, but will need to fish for bondmates for Isolde (whenever they make an appearance). Princess faction is looking like it might be the next candidate for having a whole team but I won't overextend myself.

Lol, seeing PvE only whale accounts on JP is something. One guy has been playing for like 2 years getting EoL, but only pulls one copy and doesn't buy packs for Apex or anything. He has 250000+ crystals.
