So now that Pubraseer finally gotten the rarity he always deserved and i know some anons were saving for since his Welfare was added, what is the next "big" anticipated alt? Super Ryekie?

>what is the next "big" anticipated alt?
Guess it depends from a story point of view or a liked character one. Since Super Reykie or the story alters will probably have some excitement to them.
Though my personal next hyped alt would be Giansar, I love that man way too much. Wouldn't blame people who say Isaribi however, he's one of the few launch characters who hasn't gotten an alt yet.

AltKashi, he's so damn hot, or Hydoor or another Giansar. Though I'll be wiating until I get 100 gems so I can 100% get them.

For me it's Vulpecula because he's the reason I downloaded the game despite it being Japanese only but I think Giansar might be more popular cause dragon = cool
Most of the super popular characters already got alts

>>1600662 (OP)
I feel like the next anticipated alt could be Ryekie, Akashi, or Barrel because Akashi and Barrel their alts are over three years old now and Ryekie's will be 4 years old in December. But this made me think about who might be the most likely to get a the first 2nd alt, which newer character was most likely to get an alt next, and which of the six launch characters is most likely to get an alt next. So I decided to average the votes of the Twitter and wiki popularity polls to have a small scale "definitive" top 20 list to get an idea from a popularity perspective. Also doing this some characters had half a vote I just rounded down for simplicity.

1. Pubraseer 317
2. Barrel 278
3. Monomasa 277
4. Ryekie 260
5. Tsuneaki 254
6. Obsidius 253 (253.5)
7. Giansar 240
8. reXer 239
9. Toshu 226 (226.5)
10.Sterio 223
11.Sadayoshi 217
12. Akashi 204 (204.5)
13. Mokdai 195 (195.5)
14. Astosis 180 (180.5)
15. Galvo 178
16. Gammei 176 (176.5)
17. Lilac 174
18. Yohack 173 (173.5)
19. Furlong 164
20. Goro 151

Any of the top nine characters could be the first character to get a 2nd alt from a popularity standpoint but again I think Ryekie, Akashi, or Barrel are probably the safest bets because what I mentioned earlier.

As for newer characters I'd say Giansar because of popularity but Vulpecula has been in the game longer even if his popularity seems to have fallen in the past year I feel like him being in the game longer might make a difference.

Then for remaining launch character to get an alt I think it will be Sui even though Isaribi is the most popular of the six launch characters left. Akashi and Mokdai have had alts for years now and Sui does not have on yet.

Event Epilogue and Dates just dropped.

Classically Romantic.

We have a few things that will be starting within the next week.

First there will be a high difficulty quest. "Strong Enemy Attack SS Class - Martial Arts Competition Banquet -" There will be special rules for the quest Buffs and Debuffs will not be granted twice so no stacking and the endurance gauge mechanic. The Heroes and Sidekicks from The Glorious Rising Moon event will have bonus effects Star Insignia Pubraseer and Gaisei will have 50% more attack while Orbiter will have debuff duration from his own skills increased by 1. While the sidekick versions of Gaisei, Yotaro, and Orbiter will grant heroes Basic HP+1000, Basic ATK+500 and Damage taken - 250


https://live-a-hero.jp/info/10075


Second LifeWonders will be at AGF which they show physical merchandise for both Housamo and LiveAHero that they will be selling and they will have some voice actors as special guests.


But in terms of the game after the update on 11/5/24 there will be a seven day login bonus which you’ll get up to 10 ether stones and 2 permanent ether tickets along with EXP, Training Bands, and Coins.

Then they will have a banner featuring “Lightning Blade" Kouki & Sirius. Regular Kouki & Sirius, and Giansar (I’m sorry to that one anon who started playing for Giansar and anyone else who wants him.)


https://live-a-hero.jp/info/9571


Lastly we will be getting a rerun of Moonlight Dance Masquerade of Conspiracy which will run from 11/5/24 to 11/26/24 of course this means a rerun of the Halloween banner with Halloween Nessen, Astosis, and Yohack. Also they will be rerunning the Paradise! Hot Water Battlefield on Holy Night banner featuring regular Nessen, “Drunken Tiger" Ryekie, and Subaru.


https://live-a-hero.jp/info/10026

>>1603132
>Then they will have a banner featuring “Lightning Blade" Kouki & Sirius. Regular Kouki & Sirius, and Giansar
Absolutely hellish banner. Thank you, LifeWonders.

>I’m sorry to that one anon who started playing for Giansar
A little ironic, isn't it? My plan was to spark for him originally so the silver lining here is that this should still give me some more time to save up. The odds of getting the one 5* star I want out of three just seem too unlikely.
I'm moreso concerned about the other banners now. As much as I'd really like to have a "full dex" and unlock every SQ like I've done with Housamo, balancing that while also saving up a spark might be impossible.

>>1603339
I wouldn't risk it on a triple rate up banner besides I think this is the 4th or 5th banner Giansar has been a focus character for in just a little over a year. So Lifewonders will put him on another banner I'd say 6 months tops. As for trying to get every character I would not attempt it because LiveAHero doesn't have the opportunities to earn stones and especially tickets like Housamo does. Unless you want to/can spend money about every two months when we get a new event then that's up to you. Which to get one five star character guaranteed it would be around 380 dollars.


Also on a different note I'm normal about Pubraseer's quest. Yep totally completely normal.

>>1606415
>Which to get one five star character guaranteed it would be around 380 dollars.
Jesus. Yeah nah, I wouldn't spend money on gacha even if I could. It's why I'd be mostly aiming for the SK version of 5* characters. Still, your point about there being less pulling resources seems true. I'll just have to hope they add Bookmarks after, like, 5 years of runtime.

>Also on a different note I'm normal about Pubraseer's quest.
Of course! Being pretty much proposed to after a romantic date with him only brings the normalest thoughts.
He's so dreamy, isn't he, anon?

i risked it all on the agf banner and got my very own giansar on my second multi

>>1606878
Welcome to the Giansar club anon, hope you'll enjoy the tsundere dragon and his debuffs.

>>1606912
glad to be here, though it'll be a while before i can fully upgrade him

>>1606761
>less pulling resources seems true
Housamo has almost double the amount of currency you can earn. I know I rambled about this in the other thread but since that's gone I'll just put it here just in case someone might want this info.

If you start playing Housamo and LiveAHero at the same time with a new login streak and get all 10 tickets in Andvari's shop in Housamo for two months after 60 days you'd have 191 stones worth or 38.2 summons in Housamo and you'd have 104 stones or 20.8 summons in LiveAHero. This isn't counting the 50th/100th day login milestones because no one will have the same number of total login days but you'd get an extra 10/20 stones depending one which milestone you passed.
If you want to add a brand new event into the mix Housamo gives out around 95 to 100 stones worth while LiveAHero gives around 61 stones worth for each new event. Also there are 25 stones in Andvari's shop but you can't get all of them and the tickets because that would take 10,000 rainbow shards a month.

>hope they add Bookmarks
If they do eventually add a Rainbow Shard equivalent to the shop in LiveAHero I feel like they'd only have 5 tickets a month because that's how many tickets each new event has in their item exchange shop. But even that would help a bit by making the average time to get 1000 stones go from around 9 to 10 months to about 8 months

>He's so dreamy, isn't he, anon?
He is especially after reading the stargazing line because I'm a sucker for that in fiction and in real life. I hope his original version gets a good skill tree eventually.

>>1606878
That was a very risky move but I'm glad it worked out for you! Now who are you saving for?

>>1606912
I was not expecting to see a Hai Yorokonde reference tonight.

>>1606878
enjoy your banana-slobbering dragon! (who apparently has an external)

>>1607117
>I feel like they'd only have 5 tickets a month
Yeah, I'd take whatever I can get, honestly. Part of me also hopes they'd consider making the resources closer to Housamo if/when the roster starts catching up in size. Though given the smaller banner sizes, I wouldn't expect it to happen anytime soon if at all.

Oh, and by "Bookmarks" I was actually talking about the "Bookmarks of the Past" they added a few years back that let you read older SQs at the Tower of Babel. To me, they kinda lessen the blow of not being able to get the 5* you wanted by at least letting you read a short story with them. You'd just have to be patient.
LAH doesn't have that yet, as far as I know.

>>1607117
I might save for the eventual Hydoor alt. I'll be waiting in advance when I get 1000 gems so I don't have to kill myself when I run out of gems.

>>1607318

>>1607742
anon that's what i mean by external
he literally has a bulge in his official art

>>1607393
Maybe they’ll do a revamp of the login bonuses to include more stones or maybe a ticket in the future.

>I was actually talking about the "Bookmarks of the Past" they added a few years back

God I’m an idiot I thought you meant by adding bookmarks or something similar added into the game they’d add a shop to have a way of getting more stones and tickets. I forgot about the Bookmarks intended purpose because I’ve been exchanging them for Rainbow Shards for a long time now.

>>1607741
When it comes to Gacha games I always say save for your favorites. At least the current rerun gives you a small boost to getting to 1000 stones.

On a slightly related note I don’t remember if I said this before but I noticed something this year with character alts. Specifically Obsidius and Pubraseer. They both got a new outfit in an event Obsidius got a hiking outfit for ~With Love, from~ Choco Volcano and Pubraseer got a swimsuit for Rookies Summer Festa. Then in the next event they got alts. Technically there was a rerun between ~With Love, from~ Choco Volcano and Jailbreak! Health Check Crisis! But it still checks out with Pubraseer and if Lifewonders keeps doing this then we can possibly have an idea on who will be getting an alt next.

Which one to 6* next?

>>1609087
If you mean Bloom out of those candidates and already did your husbando or just need a tiebreaker then i'd say it should be the one you consistently use for farming your dailies or use to nuke events when not having enough bonus units since it is just getting a third passive so you can do run three bonus passives for more Exp, Friendship, Coins, Medals, P.Gem or use Auto while still using the most relevant one to streamline the process, and with that in mind i would say Christmas Monomasa or Summer Barrel, the former i don't have myself but someone on my friend list have S3+Gold Elemedal+RainbowElemedal one that just deletes the Medal encounters on Turn 2 (Which lets my Medal Farm own team use full medal boosters and Procy without needing to auto and without me needing to manually play, great QoL), S.Barrel is my own old workhorse for farming due his simple and straightforward S3.

Point is, first bloom your favorite character because it is your favorite characters and you will probably use him as much as you can anyway even if it is just as passive holding stick on a farm team, then bloom what you use for farming, which is probably supporting your favorite, then Bloom the unit you have on your Supportlist so you can deck them out in 3 Passives and possibly get more people to choose them and then save for potential Alts so you can instant cap them.

But that was just how i did it, S.Barrel and (Welfare) Pubes first, then the characters who farmed (Barrel and S.Victom) and did Challenge Quests (Circus Furlong and Storm Procy) with them, then filled out so i had one of each element Bloomed and on my support list, point is, and then Sterio and Star Pubes hit, if you want the meta pick it would be your farmers so they can carry more drop bonus passives when farming cause that shit adds up.

Well, we have our confirmed Isaribi alt event
The only question is will the furry navigator be super hot. I almost thought he was Vulpecula for a second but there's purple fur on the arms so it can't be him or Esperdica

Look forward to it at the end of the month regardless

>>1613333
Teasers

>>1613333
I'm really surprised we're getting a new event in two weeks. I thought we'd get a double rerun or a character training campaign to stall for Christmas. Honestly the story preview makes it sound like they could have used this as a summer event since it's set on Muirauka IV. But now I wonder if we'll get a new Christmas event after this or will it be a rerun of last year's Santa Claus Workout?

>>1613333
His time has finally come.

>>1613333
Let it be known that I predicted that Isaribi would be next >>1601743 a couple weeks back. But nice, I've been looking forward to seeing the Isaribi alt.

>>1610149
He'll probably show up next year, if he's playable then I'm not sure. Considering he's getting promoted a decent chunk, probably soonish.
>>1613436
The reprint of Santa Claus Workout will likely happen, LW won't miss out on both Polaris and Monomasa fans spending some money to get them. So we might get a new years event but not a Christmas one.

I achieved the highest combo I've ever seen in the game. Honestly there probably is a way to make it even higher but this was my best attempt.

>>1614087
I looked at previous events and the latest a Christmas event started was Melody Meteorite Christmas on December 29th while other Christmas events started around the 23rd so it wouldn't be impossible to get a new Christmas event. But you're probably right about Santa Claus Workout being reprinted because of Polaris Mask and Monomasa plus we don't get many brand new events back to back anymore.

We are getting a Character Development Campaign it starts this Wednesday and will end on Monday.

It will focus on Training Bands and Parallel Quartz and there are two things to note.

*1: When using equipment skills that increase the EXP etc. added to heroes deployed in battle, the reward amount will be "original amount earned x (200% + increased % amount earned from equipment skills)".

*2: If double rewards are set for multiple quest types at the same time, the limit will be counted separately for each type.

>What was your specific set up for this?
I just used my combo team while Alphecca was the support unit. For sidekicks Flamier had Okitaka to boost combo and Alphecca's damage while Pubraseer just used Orbiter's skill. As for Alphecca and Lilac I didn't use their sidekicks I just constantly used their second skills for damage and combo gain. And for passives I didn't have anything to affect combo if I had everyone use Barrel's passive the combo could have been higher. I had actually recorded the entire fight but didn't think about the file size limit and I don't know how to work around that so I just posted the screenshot instead.

Also I'm the one who posted about the Character Development Campaign and I promise that was the name when I downloaded the image from the announcement page.

Yuno anothereidos

guys im going to type a strongly worded post if i don't get isabiri next week btw

saving my stones right now, pubby drained me

How the hell are you suppose to beat the vine boss in the dungeon mode?!

>>1619463

Here's an overview of the boss.

The boss starts with 10 stacks of Ivy Protection and each stack reduces the damage it takes by 10%. One stack of Ivy Protection will be removed each time you defeat one of the ivy vine enemies. For each Ivy Protection that is removed the boss will get a 5% attack boost and it's second and third skills will cost 500 less view power to use. Also the boss is immune to both poison and silence plus at the end of the turn it will regenerate 10% of it's max HP and revive both ivy vines.

It's first skill deals 80% damage to one hero and if the boss has 4 for less stacks of Ivy Protection it will attack again.

Second Skill costs 6,000 view power and deals 70% damage to all heroes if the boss has 8 or less stacks of Ivy Protection the other enemies will attack with their first skill.

Third Skill costs 10,000 view power and deals 110% damage to all heroes and reduces their defense for the next time they take damage and if the boss doesn't have any Ivy Protection the damage is increased to 160%
As mentioned before the ivy enemies will remove one Ivy Protection from the boss each time they are defeated. However when the number of Ivy Protection is below 5 the ivy vines will get a 30% attack boost and 10 extra points of speed.

They only have two skills.

The first skill deals 70% damage to one hero and it will raise it's defense afterwards.

The second skill deals 110% damage to one hero and reduces the hero's speed.


I still haven't beat this boss either I got it's HP down to about 30% on my best attempt. It's basically a balancing act of lowering it's protection stacks enough to deal damage but not too low where everything gets a boost. Or go in guns blazing making it lose all of its Ivy Protection to do as much damage as soon as possible.

saving up for the xmas mono soon

how was your guys pulls? me? i got the stupid ugly 5 star and not isabiri. so im in a bad mood in general

>>1620713
I managed to get shark ass, so I'm glad about that. Though it took 110 pulls to get him on the dot. Least I also got Kiloc so I can say "banner complete", even if I only care about Isaribi

>>1620713
I know it doesn't help take the sting out of it but you have my condolences. Kiloc seems interesting at a glance I think he's the first instance of a hero providing field effects so that's something. As for me I'm not summoning but I will admit I'm slightly tempted because Isaribi's Line Noise gimmick has been fun to use and I even encountered a glitch with it.

>>1620713
>kiloc second ticket
>off-banner 5 (marfik)
had to get isaribi from pity as expected

>>1620713
Guess I used all my remaining luck for this year since I got him on my second 10 pulls (along with the other 5 star)

being shafted wouldn't hurt as much if we got more free gems. i got him on alt but y'know i want it on my main

>>1620713
I did 36 of my 46 pulls and I got one 5 star
It was an offbanner Gomeisa lol
But I've been way too lucky so I was bound to lose one sooner or later
Oh well he'll come back eventually and I got my Joezens so I'm not too bummed :)
In gacha you gotta learn to let it go and not ragespend $200 on pulls

>>1620925
i'm cloase to spending money. i just had 400 gems from what i was keeping before and anniv gems. i did get giansar from a 10 pull from that other banner so maybe this game is putting me down

Shark moment

>>1623379
I'm guessing you took this screenshot after Isaribi defeated the final enemy with his Line Noise gimmick? Then the game started playing the victory theme but not moving to the results screen until you had a hero use a skill. If so that's the glitch I mentioned I encountered when the event started it happened to me twice actually.

The item collection stages and Event Sales for Super Catch! Battleship Fishers will be ending in about 3 days. While Unexplored Exploration and the current rotation of the Challenge Simulator will be ending in 10 days. So now is the time to finish up everything if you haven't already.

Seeing Isaribi without something on his head is a tiny bit cursed, least to me.

>>1635367
Anniversary? That’s been over since late October/ Early November. Are you talking about by the end of the new Christmas event? Regardless of what you meant it will probably take you about another 4 to 5 months to have enough for a spark.

>>1639174
>>1639182
>>1639386

I'm sorry that you guys didn't get Giansar but you need to remember that you're working with a 2% chance or 4% on the last pull on a multi. And two of you pulled less than 30 times. While I don't know the exact odds of getting a specific 5 star focus or a 5 star in general within 29 or 16 pulls. I know It's not impossible considering >>1639360 got Giansar in a single multi which is very lucky but the odds are not in your favor in Gacha.

>>1639499
I did 4 10 pulls

>>1639499
it's fine, ill probably force myself to log in every day so i have a chance to spark giansar when the rerun comes.

I managed to beat the final boss of Unexplored Exploration just before the end! Literally one of the best runs I had with my combo team.
https://litter.catbox.moe/pmgd7f.MOV

I have some thoughts about the new characters.

Giansar having a new damage over time status with Explosion is interesting. Seems like him and Ghostwoods Flamier could work well together to spread more stacks of Explosion around. Could also have some synergy with Jailbreak Obsidius.

Alend being Enminty support with barriers and the new Induction status is surprising since the only other character that has that gimmick is Bygul if I'm not mistaken.

Senthak seems cool with his Virtual Image status but it being tied only to his first skill feels a bit underwhelming. What is also interesting to me is I think he's the first character to inflict two stacks of burn guaranteed outside of enemies that are immune. That's crazy considering the highest chance has always been 60% IIRC

I'm sorry to you all who tried for Giansar but couldn't get him even if me saying sorry doesn't take the sting out of it.

>>1639706
Logging in everyday is better than logging in every so often. You'll get 14 Ether Stones every 8 days when you do complete your dailies and the 8 day login bonus. Even so it's going to take a while to get to a spark but I believe in you!


And finally I hope you all have a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

I wanted to ask is Giansar a limited character not his winter outfit but limited in general

>>1640876
Both versions of Giansar are limited.

>>1640876
He, along with Vulpecula, Nessen, and Gaisei are all limiteds. The trend that these characters ffollow, besides Nessen, is that they were all villains in previous events. But I'm not sure that will follow with Denebora.

>>1641032

Another explosion of content! This time for New Year's! New limited quest featuring Kyoto heroes (aaaa new Roiker outfit!!!!!) and the yearly New Year's Grab Bag banners for all the limiteds, dividied into groups based on their allegiances.
Also login crystal bonuses as usual
It drops January 1st (Wednesday) with maintenance the 31st

>>1636998

>literal every character he draws is fucking hot

>>1641377
Roiker just came and went huh, glad they remember his existence

>>1641106
No, not in that story. That's what I mean that he'll probably break the trend of "showing off a villain, next year they come back as a limited unit."

>>1639831
Nice work! But why did you keep using SK Kalaski’s skill when all your characters were faster than the boss?

>>1641793
That's because one of the passives I got was Sui's Sewing Needle which increases the damage an enemy takes by 25% for each debuff they have up to 100%. Since Speed Down doesn't go away until the boss takes another action everyone gets a damage boost until then. So I thought it was worth Lilac using one of his extra actions to inflict Speed Down instead of attacking.

I should just spend all these points right

>>1643718
If you want. Though, there's nothing really worthwhile other than occasional quartz. I've just been hoarding mine in hopes they revamp it one of these days.

It’s the end of the year! How many stones, tickets, and ally points do you have?

>>1644080
1090ish
5 tickets (I can NOT save these)
Who gives a shit

>>1644080
7 stones
0 tickets
1,622,800 ally points
I am in GRAVE FUCKING DANGER THEY JUST TEASED A VULPECULA ALT BIG TIME IN THE NEW YEAR'S EVENT HE SHOWS UP AND NOT ONLY DOES HE SAY HE WANTED TO SPEND IT OBSERVING YOU, TSUNEAKI ALSO BRINGS UP TAROT PARALLELS OF HOW THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE AND ANCIENT FOXES USED TO DISPEL BAD LUCK
AND AT THE END VULPECULA VISITS A FOX SHRINE AND MAKES A WISH AS HE WISHES TO SEE SOMEONE AGAIN (YOU)
I GOT SO TEMPTED BY GIANSAR I BLEW THE 50 STONES I HAD TODAY AND THEN GOT *ANOTHER* ALEND

WHY AM I SO STUPID I SHOULD'VE SAVED AAAAAAAA VULPECULA PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Oh yeah if you want to clear the 80 missions for stones easy just play character quests. Character quest count as clears (and you can use it for your dailies too)

>>1644864
wait, we got missions now?

>>1647438
What they're referring to are the limited time missions they added for New Years where you can get an Ether Stone for completing a certain number of quests. This includes Battle, Character, and Main Story Quests. You could just replay the 1st quest of the event or any quest that doesn't have a battle hit skip and it still counts as a cleared Quest.

>>1647454
oh so that was it
I thought there's a mission asking for 80 quests that drop a lot of crystals

Same question for here who has the biggest bulge in the game

>>1650085
I think some anon did comparisons way back, IIRC it was a human, but i can't recall who exactly. The most popular characters at the time (IE: Pubraseer, Barrel, Ryekie, etc) were actually closer to midrange or non-existent, i think when Obsidius released someone noted he had the largest by a far margin so he would be my uneducated guess.

>>1650085
Vulpecula of course
But yeah probably Obsidius lol just because of how big he is

About 2 days are left until the item collection quests and sales for the event will end along with the New Year's missions. While the banner, story and challenge quests have 10 days left.

>>1650457
>I think some anon did comparisons way back
I don't recall that but I could be just forgetting.

>>1650085
>>1653556

Obsidius would be in the top 3 for sure in regards to anthro/furry characters. While Alend would be in the top 3 for human/humanoid characters. Also apparently Alend is 24 years old.

I just finished up the story for the event, and what a neat surprise that was. Another tech upgrade, consequative battles with different teams. I do wonder how this and everything else will be used in the future.
Also seeing Giansar blush so much and lick his fangs is making my heart melt.

>>1653556
I'd argue that Vulpecula has the most noticable bulge, along with Giansar, thanks to outfit choice. But pure size Obsidius and Alend wins.

For those with farming teams for coin, rank up material and the like, how optimized would you say they are? Do you use specific heroes that clear quests the fastest or is just whatever fine?
These breaks between events got me wondering if those manuals from the office are any good, but I'm not sure if I'd be wasting resources when getting a better team could make things easier. Or if I should focus on certain kinds daily quests rather than others.

>>1657860
>For those with farming teams for coin, rank up material and the like, how optimized would you say they are? Do you use specific heroes that clear quests the fastest or is just whatever fine?
I'd say they are okay, i run auto so it been like 2-3 turns on average depending on how many Auto skills i use, i just have Pubraseer and S.Barrel spam their AoE, everyone have all three passive skills.
>These breaks between events got me wondering if those manuals from the office are any good,
Depends, Stone is great if you use your tickets on stone farming between events (I do), Friendship Bonus is good because it is the only Friendship booster and you basically always get friendship and more friendship= Easier to build up a overflowbank to cap out Huckle/Procy (Or someone better) Sidekick to use those instead of the coin/exp ones, Coin and Exp are kinda pointless if you have a Sidekick with a boosting effect since they are weaker and the effects don't Stack IIRC. Medals are good if you can afford them and actually do the medal quests, but honestly i wouldn't go out of my way to buy themm.

>Or if I should focus on certain kinds daily quests rather than others.
Honestly i tend to go for Stones (cause you need tickets and having a supply to immedietly cap hero you been saving for is great) then Money and use that money to buy the medals and what not i need for upgrades.

>>1658069
>Procy (Or someone better)
Right, Zaniah's passive is flat out better. My indecisive ass hasn't done much besides getting her to 50 with some units cause I was thinking Procy would be cheaper to level. I should probably just start limit breaking her, huh?

>i tend to go for Stones [...] then Money and use that money to buy the medals and what not
I'm assuming that by Stones, you mean the Parallel Quartz that increases stats, right? Cause the elemental Awakening Stones also drop from money quests.
I think I'll start doing that as well. That way I only have to get the Friendship and Quartz boosters instead of a bunch of different kinds.

I miiight hold off on Auto passives for now though. I haven't minded playing manually so far and I could use the slots for more drop boosts. It should also be a simple thing to fix if I ever change my mind.

More time to save, they have those bonus items to customize the banner characters' looks
Runs from the 23rd to February 13 so right before Valentine's. I guess that will lead right into the new event.

is it better to pull here or the 50 paid stones with xmas mono

So
Is there a reason why Live A Hero's calander events are on a permament 2 month delay? Summer in October, Halloween in December, Christmas in February. Covid was 5 years ago, just unfuck your schedule already. It's already a no-content game, just snip off a week from events until you're back on target.

>>1658780
If you really believe you can get him with a 1/12 chance, then go for it.

>>1655676
>consequative battles with different teams. I do wonder how this and everything else will be used in the future.
That was neat I was kinda hoping they'd keep that for the high difficulty fight but they didn't sadly. Granted I use the same team for everything so maybe this is a sign to start trying out other characters.

>Also seeing Giansar blush so much and lick his fangs is making my heart melt.
I'm guessing Giansar fans ate well with this event if so I'm glad for you all.

>>1655676
The team I always use is combo focused so it's not optimized but it can clear stuff in 2-3 turns on auto. Granted I don't think there's a team that can clear anything on auto in a single turn.

>Or if I should focus on certain kinds daily quests rather than others.
I don't know how long you've been playing but in most cases go with what you have the least of. Eventually you'll have enough recourses that it won't really matter. But for me personally I use my Daily Tickets on the Parallel Quartz quests since you need 1300 of it to max a Hero's Weapon Level.

>>1658069
That art of Pubraseer is precious! Do you know the artist? I can't seem to find anything.


>>1658453
>I should probably just start limit breaking her,
Are you referring to her Hero or Sidekick version? Because to me it sounds like you're talking about her Hero version which doesn't not affect her Sidekick Passive of increasing Coins. You would need to max her Sidekick's level cap and then increase her Relation Level with a Hero to Level 100 so her Equipment Skill will have it's max effect. Sorry if I misunderstood what you were referring to and explained stuff you already knew.

>>1658780
Like the other anon said it's a 1 in 12 chance or about 8% on a one time banner. Unless you have 200 summons saved neither banner will be a guarantee. As a word of warning if you really want him and wait on the rerun banner it's going to cost around 380 dollars at most to spark. But you have some time to think it over.

>>1658960
>Eventually you'll have enough recourses that it won't really matter.
I sure hope so. I was kinda expecting LAH's new year event to help with that like Housamo.

>Sorry if I misunderstood what you were referring to
Yeah, I was talking about her SK but no worries. Just haven't gotten around to using any Sidekick's Mind on her to get more than a 1% boost.

> I was talking about her SK but no worries
Ah I see when you meant getting to 50 along with limit breaking I thought you meant she was at level 50 and thought about raising her rarity to 6 star. Oh well I'd rather over explain things just incase so people have all the info they can to make the best decisions possible.

what is that SS thing
>>1659203
>inverted nipples
gross

>>1659485
>what is that SS thing
I meant to post this earlier so you probably already figured it out but just in case it's a high difficulty fight against the characters from the Christmas event. Heroes from the events get bonuses. Christmas Giansar's debuffs last an extra turn for example. While the Sidekicks give Heroes they are assigned to extra HP, Attack, and take 250 less damage. You get 30 Parallel Quartz as a clear reward so you aren't missing much if you can't clear it.

What is everyone's favorite event battle theme and item shop/menu theme? Both don't have to be from the same event.

>>1662993
The menu theme for S.O.S, summer Sada and base Giansar, is a sweet one for me. It brings forth a sense of a warm, calm, vacation. And it may be recency bias, but I really vibe with the Lightyears Illumination battle theme.

>>1662993
I have made my choices now. It was easier to choose a top favorite unlike Housamo. And apparently the songs don't have official names even when you select them in the office it just translates to the event name followed by disc. Like The Glorious Rising Moon Battle Disc or Christmas Meltdown Disc for the menu themes.

Battle
The Glorious Rising Moon

Menu
Christmas Meltdown


Honorable mentions

Moonlight Group Dance ~ Masquerade of Conspiracy both for battle and menu
Reminiscence of Ghostwoods - Battle
Ruins Adventure- Battle
Rookie Summer Festa- Battle

>>1663418
>menu theme for S.O.S
It's surprising upbeat for an event where everyone gets shipwrecked the battle theme is also good.

>Lightyears Illumination battle theme
It's really catchy I honestly prefer it over Santa Workout's battle theme.

>>1662993
>Battle theme
It's a tie between Valentine Cyberwars and Ghostwoods. I think I lean towards Ghostwoods because I just love how mystic it feels.

>Menu theme
Rakusai Travelogue. For some reason, it reminds me of Ace Attorney.

>>1664456
>Valentine Cyberwars
I can't believe I forgot about that one its actually really solid!

>Rakusai Travelogue. For some reason, it reminds me of Ace Attorney.
It's been awhile since I played Ace Attorney in general but it probably reminds you of Apollo Justice specifically.

A new banner has been added to celebrate the newly added Character Quests for Gomeisa and Subaru. The banner will end on February 13th and features

Another Character Development Campaign has been announced. The event starts on Friday 0:00 JST and will last until next Wednesday 23:59 JST. This time it seems to focus only on Experience Point Quests which you will get double the rewards from the first three clears everyday.

https://live-a-hero.jp/info/10699

>>1674543
Wonder if we'll get a new event after this, the usual case, or a reprint. Cool either way for some calm days.

>>1675258
I think we might get another rerun which would be ~With Love, from~ Choco Volcano and then around the first week of March there will be a new Valentine's event. But having a training campaign is nice would have preferred a boost in Parallel Quartz drops rather than Experience Points.

Well that's strange. Why do I get an assist/friend's Santa Monomasa who can do his S2 and S3 without any of the automatic skills equipped?

>>1677064
Some Sidekick Manuals/Passive allows Heroes to use their other skills like Orbiter's for example will make the Hero use their third skill if there is only one enemy left or if there is more than one enemy they will use their second skill.

Seems like it's a new event, Chocolate Seekers, the goat designed by Nagabe may show up along with an alt for Gaius. Along with that there'll also be the classic Valentines update. Log in bonuses, banner reprints, a feature to buy stuff only sold once in event shops, and reprinting epilogue events.

>>1679327
Looks like I was wrong on us getting another rerun I wasn’t expecting information this early either. The ability to get older characters is good for newer players even if it’s just adding Hisaki and reXer if I’m not mistaken. Since Pubraseer is available through the beginner missions and Shidemasu should be available again this year since Jailbreak! Health Check Crisis! should be getting a rerun.


As for the event they do mention that you’ll get more enjoyment if you have read Lost Ancients of Blue which makes sense considering Gaius will be getting an alt. The ingredient/food hunter should be Yuhang. But I can’t place who the grave keeper is off the top of my head so maybe it’s Vraham since his silhouette is used for the Valentines campaign banner image. Or maybe it’s a different new character all together and Vraham will show up in the event as an NPC like Gaisei or Denebora. If I'm right about this then it will be another skip for me.

>>1679327
Thank god it's not another rerun, but my stones are still safe
Hope the characters are cute though

>>1680856
Weird that Vlaham is going to be a limited unit, but whatever. I'm a Viscunam fan, so Valoray's design is right up my alley.

>>1681043
I don't know why either, it may have to be with the artist that made him or a story reason? Like how base Giansar and Vulpecula are also limited.

>>1680856
>nagabe goat is a 5-star
>and limited
Man, I was dreading this ever since they started teasing him. Settling for his SK it is, then.

>>1680856
Man I'm losing my touch a little bit on guessing characters I was sure Yuhang was getting an alt. Then again ever since Rookies Summer Festa it's been two brand new characters and one alt. It's a skip for me but Valoray is kinda cute but not nearly enough for me to summon.

Also I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the other things this update will bring.

We are getting Weekly Missions and a past Event Archive

By clearing the missions that are updated every week, you can get special items "Star Shard"
can be used in the Weekly Exchange and exchanged for valuable items such as:

Permanent Ether Ticket (The Silver Tickets sadly)
Memory Archive
Characters and custom items that were available at the exchange for some past events
Character engraving level upgrade items that were available in past event exchanges

There is a weekly limit of 1000 Star Shards you can obtain but you don't have to do all missions to get 1000. However you can only hold 4000 Star Shards at a time so be sure to use them on something.

The weekly mission contents and weekly Star Shard acquisition limit reset every Monday at 00:00 (Japan time).

Epilogue Quest",Challenge Quest" will be available to play. In addition, if you clear the main quests or challenge quests that you have not cleared at the time of the event, you will be able to obtain event items for each event as an initial reward.

>>1681730
You can then exchange the event items you have obtained for "Stamina Drink"or"EXP Items" and other rewards.

In archived events, you can receive event items for each event as a reward for clearing the "Main Quest" and "Challenge Quest" for the first time. The
event items you obtain can be exchanged for various items at the exchange shop prepared for each event.
The number of event items you have previously obtained will be reset when the event is archived. The number and type of items you can exchange may differ for some events.

The archived events have the following missions, and the mission rewards are Ether Stones. You can receive up to two of these.

Clear all main quests
Clear all challenge quests
The mission "Clear all challenge quests is equivalent to the mission Achieve a score of 170,000 in a score attack quest in the score attack format challenge quest.
Even if you have already cleared all main quests and challenge quests and met the mission conditions at the time of the event, you can still receive the mission rewards.
There are no challenge quests or corresponding missions in "olden Spirit of the Dawn.

You can also check the completion status of the above missions on the event summary screen that appears after tapping the event banner on the past event list screen.

In order to play the epilogue quest of an archived event, you must have either the "Hero" or "Sidekick" character that corresponds to the quest, and have cleared the final episode of the event scenario. In addition, if you want to play the epilogue quest of an archived event for the first time, you must meet the above conditions and "Memory Archive" to unlock the quest.
Once you have unlocked the conditions for an Epilogue Quest by consuming a Memory Archive, you can play it as many times as you want.

>>1681730
>>1681732
Anon you really don't need to copy paste this out, it's implied most people here read the event patch as soon as it comes out
It's basically the same thing every event other than the new memory archive and that's just the catch up store for new players to get the old event exclusive heroes

Good luck to anyone pulling

Now these are some funky new units, Vlaham's bullet mechanic makes you think about what his teamates are, Valoray has introduced a debuff version of a taunt, along with being a defensive buffer, and this Gaius alt actually cares about where you place him in the stack. He wants to be in the two middle spots otherwise his passive and skill 2 only gives Sword Dance to one ally. Really fun mechanics here.

Can't even boot up the game after the update. Hope it's not the encoding issue housamo had. I trusted you lah, I thought you were built different.

>>1681730
>We are getting Weekly Missions and a past Event Archive
What the hell, we were talking about Rainbow Shards and Bookmarks not that long ago.
LifeWonders, if you're reading this, I want a 5-star selection update with an extra ticket handout next.

>>1681748
Eh, a bit of a heads up in advance is appreciated. Besides, the announcement page didn't say much when it first came out. How do you know when they update it?

>>1682036
They update it as soon as they show the banner anon that's how lifewonders has done it for years

>>1682040
I unironically frequent more this thread than the game itself, so I appreciate it myself, it doesn't bloat up too much anyways.

9 tickets and nothing
50 stones and only got the sidekick goat
Ah well I'm happy with that

>>1682055
Any bloat is unnecessary bloat, you called it bloat yourself.
You can ask if anything new is coming out with the event and anyone here would be happy to tell you. You DON'T need to spam 2 whole posts of paragraphs with 0 images.
Own your mistake and be quiet from now on. Don't do it again.

>>1682144
? I'm not the same anon, I literally said I don't even open the game or the website to early post event details in here lol, I just felt grateful because they bothered copied and pasting for anyone needing it

Don't forget the current Challenge Simulator has about 5 days left don't miss out on easy resources!

>>1681954
Congrats may Vlaham serve you well!

>>1682036
They sure are making unique characters every event. Vlaham being a Enmity attacker with secondary effects is nice even if going for Assault Shot will probably be his go to. But for everyone who got spooked by Alend they can have a solid combo since he is Enmity support with his passive alone. Up to 50% ATK boost closer to 1 HP everyone is paired with Vlaham's Critical can be very strong if you can pull it off.

Gaius is the second Hero with a Field Effect increasing all allies ATK by 30% and follow up attacks are nice but I will say I'm not too certain how you can increase Sword Dance stacks to the max I haven't tested it out yet.

Valoray is like Alend as they both can inflict Inducement but he's meant to an HP sponge as he has the 5th highest HP of defense Heroes only 105 below Sadayoshi. But he has more support than other defense Heroes plus his skills are pretty cheap too pretty nice for a 4star.

>>1682036
>talking about Rainbow Shards and Bookmarks not that long ago.
Yeah funny how that works sadly the tickets are just for the permanent banner and only can get one a week

>5-star selection update
That will be during the 8th anniversary

>>1682143
He'll be back soon considering they had Giansar on 4 or 5 banners in one year so you'll have more chances later.

>>1682144
I do it because some people here might not use Twitter or look at the news in game and the other anon who also posts news didn't include the Campaign stuff. So I thought to add it just in case someone didn't know. Yes I could have summarized everything in a single post but didn't because it was easier to copy and paste so that is on me. But it's still information that could contribute to/start a discussion.

>>1682458
I can't read japanese so I appreciate the pastes

Is there a good quick way to tell which unit gives Vlaham which bullet type without being able to read Japanese (And being too lazy to pull out the translator for checking everything). Never really had to pay attention to something like this if there is icons or something somewhere but Sexo Goat is so much fun to use I actually do want to engage with his mechanics more.

>>1687336
I mean, it depends on the target's role, right? As long as you remember which role the units in your team have, you'll know the bullet effect is related to that. Quickest way to check that without translating would probably be this:
https://liveahero-wiki.github.io/misc/role/

Or you could also use the numbers on the skill's description when you're hovering it above someone. So you could tell the effects just at a glance like:
No number = Vlaham: Damages adjacent enemies
1.5 = Attack role: Increases damage by 1.5x
5000 = VP Gain role: Gain 5000 VP
3 = Assist/Debuff roles: Inflicts 3 charges of Scar
30 = Speed role: Attack again, dealing 30% damage
50 = Defense/Heal/Special: Heal self by 50% of base ATK

>>1685373
Anytime! I'll continue to do it but I will be more efficient about it.

>>1687336
There is a bullet gauge above Vlaham's HP bar and each Bullet has it's own color. Granted you still would need to know what Role each Hero you are using has when using his second skill so you can know what bullet effects will trigger when you use his third skill.

If he uses it on himself he gets Spread Shot which is represented by a white bullet and when he uses his third skill he’ll attack adjacent enemies beside the primary target.

Attack Heroes give him Assault Shot which is represented by red bullet and it increases his damage by 1.5x

VP Gain Heroes give him Radiant Shot which is represented by a yellow bullet and will grant 5000 extra View Power.

Assistance or Debuff Heroes will give him Slicing Shot which is represented by a blue bullet. It will inflict three stacks of Scar.

Speed characters give him Double Shot which is represented by a purple bullet and it allows him to attack again dealing 30% of his attack as damage.

Defense Healing or Special Heroes will give him Healing Shot which is represented by a green bullet and it will heal himself by 50% of his base attack value.

Also in case you didn't know Vlaham can have up to three Bullets at once and will use all of them when he uses his third Skill. But I don't know if each Bullet effect can stack like having three Slicing Shots will inflict nine stacks of Scar instead of three.

I was curious and decided to see if Bullet effects stack and it seems that they all do except for Slicing Shot. Regardless if you have 1 or 3 Slicing Shot Bullets the number of Scar stacks will always be 5.

I also did a test with the Bullet combo of Slicing Shot, Spread Shot, and Double Shot thinking it would hit all enemies twice and give them Scar but it did not work. Only the primary target got Scar and got hit with the extra attack from Double Shot also Double Shot did not add an extra stack of Scar again it was at 5 stacks. I'm disappointed that it didn't work like I was hoping. Maybe other combinations might work but that one certainly didn't.

>>1687514
I didn't realize someone else beat me to explaining things I should have double checked my bad.

So for some reason I am having issues launching the game after today's update. Anyone else encounter that? Am I safe to uninstall and re-download to see if that works?

>>1688198
Don't. It happened to me, just keep retrying, it'll stop happening on its own

>>1688198
Never uninstall LWs games without backing up your user/auth key or issuing a transfer code. You'll lose your progress otherwise.
When that happens to me I close and reopen my emulator and usually it works after waiting a while. If you're on a real phone then restarting it would be the equivalent.

>>1688198
I haven't had any issues lately but in the past if my internet/data was too slow the game didn't like that. But as the other two said I wouldn't uninstall the game it's a risk if you don't have your keys. Honestly I'm surprised the games don't have any issues when transferring stuff to a new phone. Even though it always gives me a heart attack the few times I had to do it.

Also I'm going to leave this here for the Vlaham enjoyers.

>>1688258
Gotcha, I won't do that then. I am using a real phone so what happens is that after I press the app icon the screen turns gray-ish for a varying amount of seconds before turning black returning to the home screen. I'll try out your methods, thanks.

>>1688500
Where the little running Akashi doesn't even show up? It kinda looks like it's a crash to me though I have no idea what exactly would cause it. If all else fails then maybe try running the game on another device or emulator if you can.

First the confetti incident and now this. They've been really dropping the ball with these recent updates.

>>1688544
Yeah it looks like a crash to me as well, the little Akashi does not show up on boot. So it doesn't seem to get that far in the start up process. The game crashed during a download of the story update, so maybe that caused it? I am in no spot to try out other devices, can next week though.

>>1688500
Oh I've had that since last anniversary, it's a bit weird. It usually happens whenever there's a patch so I figure it autocloses after to apply the update but sometimes it will just close out on me for no reason when I boot it up. It's weird. It doesn't seem to affect my account though so fingers crossed it stays that way. But yeah keep your authkey handy.

>>1688557
I will, will just have to learn how to grab it from my phone.

>>1688586
If you're on Android you should be able to grab it with a file manager. I think newer versions don't give you full folder access so you might need to install something like Total Commander for it.

You want the "userKey" file found on this path: Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.liveahero/files/datas/
When transferring it over you just gotta paste it in the same folder after installing the game.

I find it real crazy how fragile both games' saves are with how greedy their gacha are

>>1688595
Thanks, I think the plan is, once I get home to my computer, I'll download bluestacks and LaH onto there, try transfering the userkey, and check if my account is safe. Then I'll try and fix it on my phone. But the userkey is safe, made a back up of it.

>>1688627
BlueStacks is what I'd recommend since it's the one I found most stable once you set it up, but there's a few annoyances with it that you should be aware of beforehand even if you don't plan on using it for too long.

First, the Nougat 64-bit version is the only one that doesn't consistently get stuck when loading LAH. You can also use their instance manager for this if you get another version.

Secondly, it comes bundled with some stuff like BlueStacks X and BlueStacks Services that's bloatware you should uninstall. They get reinstalled after every update but thankfully those aren't automatic.

And finally, you should go into Settings>Preferences and disable "Ads during gameplay" and "Open BlueStacks Store on start."

Hope it works out for you, anon.

>>1687514
I've never seen that Role Page on the wiki, thanks! That'll definitely help!

>>1689031
Been trying out your advice, so far it somewhat works. Main issue is that it gets stuck downloading the game for some reason. But I have managed to save my userkey so that's my backup and that's the most important part. What I'm mainlly bummed about is that I may not be able to get the goat.

>>1695031
Update: I managed to fix it! Fuck yes, god that was frustrating to deal with.

>>1695161
Sounds like you downloaded a different version, which yeah, you'd have to create a new instance. Glad to hear you got it working though. And good luck on getting Vlaham!

Don't forget that Unexplored Exploration will reset in three weeks. The reset will most likely increase the permanent cumulative score rewards as well as refresh the limited time cumulative score rewards. So if you haven't already try to get a cumulative score of at least 7000 before the reset to get up to 5 Ether Stones!

Also the current Challenge Simulator has a week left! And if you get a score of at least 50,000 on any of the quests you'll clear a Star Shard mission earning 200 Star Shards for the week.

>>1695161
Hey that's good to hear! If you plan to try for Vlaham I wish you the best of luck!

>got summeryoshi
thanks

what are the hisaki, rexer, and pubraseer items in the star shard shop
the ones that cost 250

>>1705533
If I'm not mistaken they're just duplicate copies to increase their Engraving level. Unless you really like them and use them constantly it's not really necessary to go for them considering they're other Heroes you can use plus they're somewhat expensive. But for reference when a Hero's Engraving Level is increased they get extra stats. 6 HP, 3 Attack and a 0.2% View Power reduction for every level. So at level 100 the Hero will get an extra 600 HP, 300 Attack, and the View Power needed for their Skills will be reduced by 20% of the required value.

>>1705582
speaking of which is sidekick pubby worth it

>>1705906
His passive is pretty good for characters that won't attack or have no attacking options to start with (So Healers/Buffers), and those characters often want some extra defense anyway (so they can actually survive to be able to heal the damage taken) i consider it a pretty good one. Ironically its biggest issue is that Pubes himself can't use it and most people tend to min-max for offense, not more Defense even for healers because it means they heal more.

His active is kinda shit, but as aid, the passive is pretty great.

Basically he falls into the "Shit active, Good Passive" spectrum IMO.

Another know a way to go about killing this dude on the hardest event quest?
Having a bit of trouble doing it currently, was thinking maybe a hero with an AOE heal would be good if there is one.

>they had to release tips on this boss
Damn I knew it was hard but that's surprising I haven't even tried it yet

The next event is a rerun of ~With Love, from~ Choco Volcano it will start next week on the 19th and will last until April 10th

The update will also give Skill Evolutions to Borealis and Suhail on the 27th.

https://live-a-hero.jp/info/10567

>>1708205
Is this the Unexplored Exploration version of the boss or the Christmas Melt Countdown version you can fight in the Archive? The boss is annoying to fight regardless but I think there is a slight difference between them. If it’s the Unexplored Exploration version I did a rundown/overview of the boss here. >>1619524

>>1708301
It was a noticeable step in difficulty but my combo team with Tidal Surge Alphecca support did well.

>>1708482
>april 10th
GRIM
More time to save, but grim. This "game" is either blowing your savings and not getting the character you want or logging in for 3 minutes for dailies and then logging out. The more frequent reprint banners have been good and all but it'd be nice to have some new gameplay content too, even if it's just a boardgame sim like monopoly or something. Turning on autobattle and watching stuff on your computer is convenient and all but I feel like they could do so much more with these characters we spend so much time/money saving and rolling for

>>1708826
>logging in for 3 minutes for dailies and then logging out
LiveAHero isn't the only gacha I play so I don't mind that it's a side game but even then I think there needs to be something else.

>new gameplay content
Their "new content" solution is just having Unexplored Exploration be something you passively work on every 3-4 months before the rewards refresh. And while I do enjoy playing the mode it's been stale for a while the standard battles and bosses are all the same. I think instead of being something that gets refreshed every 3-4 months it should be 1-2 months adding new passives or at least switching up the bosses.

>do so much more with these characters we spend so much time/money saving and rolling for
They are slowly adding stuff like the Star Shard Shop albeit it's not as good as Housamo's Rainbow Shard Shop. I feel like things could be better if the game had it's English translation/add the next Main Story Chapter something to bring more attention to the game or revive older players interest on at least one side of the player base. Then maybe Lifewonders will give a bit more attention to LiveAHero since I enjoy the gameplay and I'm sure I'll enjoy the story since I've been thoroughly enjoying Housamo's Main Story and Events. But it's going to be a time will tell situation.

>>1708826
Something casual like a board game would unironically be super nice. Honestly kinda tired of always having to translate mechanics or getting my shit kicked in by SS Challenges/"Normal" Unexplored on a regular basis. The rewards for doing all that don't even seem insanely good or anything.

>>1708482
It is the Archive Event Fight, didn't know there was a difference between the two mechanic wise.

>>1709659
>The rewards for doing all that don't even seem insanely good or anything.
UE seems to have 5 Ether Stones every reset and it’s something every player can get. SS challenges aren’t really worth it outside of the challenge of it. 30 Parallel Quartz is just 2 days worth from the PQ quest so it’s not a big deal if you can’t beat it. But if the reward was stones/tickets then most players probably wouldn’t be able to get them. So I don’t know what reward would be a decent middle ground.

>>1710056
I double checked and there are a few differences.

The archive version of the boss doesn’t have Ivy Protection and recovers 30% of its maximum HP at the end of every turn rather than 10%. You still need to take out the vine enemies they give the boss a debuff reducing the HP the it can heal by 10%. For every HP debuff the boss has its attack will increase by 5%. Once a certain number of HP debuffs have been applied the boss seems to be able to remove 1-2 stacks after it attacks. It’s still immune to silence can be burned or poisoned however it reduces the activation chance of those statuses by 50%.

The vines don’t get a speed or attack increase since the boss doesn’t have Ivy Protection. Their 1st skill still targets one Hero and will lower the Hero’s attack. The 2nd skill still deals damage but now lowers a Hero’s defense rather than their speed. Now the bottom vine has Taunt forcing it to be the only option to hit if you’re using a single target Skill. While the top vine has Damage Aggregation which takes all AOE damage onto itself even if it’s overkill. The vine that has Taunt will not activate it if the boss has 6 or more HP debuffs while the other vine won’t activate Damage Aggregation after 8. Also they seem to have 1000 to 1200 HP.

I honestly don’t remember how I even beat the level 70 version of that fight during its rerun. If you post your Heroes and Sidekicks maybe one of us here can help you figure something out.

Das crazy we got Obsidius 2 before the EN translation

>>1718388

>>1718464
I think you just shilled the game to me. AnotherEidos better give us some milk if it wants to keep the lactation playerbase.

With the newest update High Difficulty quests for Choco Volcano and Skill Trees for Suhail and Borealis have been added. Six Ether Stones have been given as maintenance compensation.

Suhail’s first skill has five upgrades. The first upgrade allows the skill to be used again up to two times per turn if all enemies have more than 6 Debuffs combined. The left path will lower the number of Debuffs required by 3 when fully upgraded. The right path increases its damage by 7%. The final upgrade increases damage by an additional 3%.

Second skill has the passive effect of increasing damage to enemies with damage over time effects by 20%. The poison chance to all enemies can be increased to 100%

Third skill's first upgrade lowers the viewpower required to use it by 500. The left path continues to reduce the amount required by 5000 in total. The right path starts by giving him a 20% chance to remove 1 Debuff from himself before attacking which can be upgraded to a 100% chance. The final upgrade increases the Debuffs removed by 1.

Borealis’ first skill gives him a Symphony Gauge and the upgrades increase the amount of points it gets at the start of battle up to 5. The skill also gets a new passive whenever an ally earns 5000 or more viewpower increase Symphony Gauge by one and when filled the skill turns into Ternio Cantum and lets the ally with the highest and second highest attack to follow up after Borealis

Second skill can remove 1 Debuff from himself and at max value is 100% chance. The final upgrade will remove 1 Debuff from all allies if Concert is in effect.

Third skill's first upgrade increases ally attack by 3% if they have Concert. The left path increases this to 25%. The right path gives the passive if there is 10,000 or more viewpower when the skill is used he will use an additional 3000 to extend the duration of Concert by 1 turn. The 10,000 requirement goes down to 3000 when fully upgraded. The final upgrade increases his speed by 10 if he has Concert

>>1719740
YEEESS!

>>1719895
Thank you for the overview. I've been wondering though, how often does everyone complete these Skill Trees? Are you supposed to go through with it only with your favorites? Cause the cost seems kinda high to just do it casually.

>>1720367
>Thank you for the overview.
Anytime!

>how often does everyone complete these Skill Trees?
I personally haven't completed a single Skill Tree for two reasons. First I never decided which path I wanted to use for Gomeisa but despite that he still works well enough for me so I never completed it. The second reason is the other Heroes I use don't have one yet.

>Are you supposed to go through with it only with your favorites?
You can focus on a favorite Hero or a Hero who would benefit a team you've made it doesn't matter. You'll have time to work your way through the Skill Tree as most Skill Tree updates happen around every 5-6 months. For reference the last update for Skill Trees was back in August making it the longest between updates while the shortest was just over a month back in 2023.

>the cost seems kinda high to just do it casually.
Blooming and Skill Trees are mid to late game things to do when you have resources pilled up after upgrading enough Heroes and you can clear all content. Or at least the content you care about.

>>1720455
>Blooming and Skill Trees are mid to late game
Alright. If you don't have any problems clearing quests without them then I'll keep up at the pace I've been going so far. Maybe someone I use often will get a tree by the time I stock up on resources.

I realized depending on the specific time the game was launched that today or tomorrow marks the games 4.5 year Anniversary. It doesn't feel like it's been 6 months since the 4th Anniversary. On top of that we have April Fools in a few days so I wonder they have planned for that. Last year it was a Radio Show with some characters from LiveAHero and Housamo and a 360 video with Akashi.

>>1720865
First I want to rectify about the branching paths on Skill Trees. It isn't where you can only choose one or the other like I've thought for the past two years. You can upgrade both and you have to in order to get the final upgrade. But anyway yeah just take things at your own pace there's no real rush considering it's probably going to be about another 6 months before we get more Skill Trees added and they add only 2 to 4 in an update.

In regards to clearing quests I'd say if you can clear 5 of the 6 High Difficulty Quests during new Events and clear all of them during reruns that's a good place to be. That way you aren't missing out on Ether Stones, Ether Tickets, and Permanent Ether Tickets. But honestly who cares about Permanent Ether Tickets they really don't have any good value to them.

>>1721450
I hope they pull the "translate LAH's April Fools videos before the game itself" prank again. It's my favorite one.

>5 of the 6 High Difficulty Quests
With the exception of Moonlight Dance's hardest one, I've been able to clear all six surprisingly. It's mostly the SS quests that I consistently can't beat. They're such a pain to deal with I couldn't even force myself to try the past two we got.

>>1721464
>translate LAH's April Fools videos before the game itself
I mean it is easier to translate a 2 minute video of Barrel ASMR or Host Club reXer than a game but the wait does get tiring from time to time. Honestly if they really wanted to twist the knife on April Fools they could announce that they have abounded plans for the English Translation.

>It's mostly the SS quests that I consistently can't beat
Yeah like I mentioned in an earlier post they are just there for the thrill of completing them. The 30 Parallel Quartz reward is just 2 days of doing the Parallel Quartz Quest if you get the Bonus Drop all three times on both days. So you aren't missing out on much.

So it seems that the LiveAHero Wiki has it's own April Fools joke. If I counted correctly there are 36 characters that have been replaced with Housamo characters. But one of them doesn't seem to be working as intended.

>>1723385
considering how same-facey they are they should have also put Siddley there

Bit of a spotty translation but here's LAH side of Narihito and Zhurong's interviews we got for April Fools this year.

The SS Level Quest A Sandstorm Splitting the Sky will be ending in about a day.

The Item Collection Quests for ~With Love, from~ Choco Volcano will be ending in about 2 days. But there is still about 10 days left before everything thing else related to the event ends. This also includes Valentine Epilogue Quests from previous events.

>>1723432
I can see that considering Kuronezumiinu's characters can pretty look similar. But if they had done that I would have been surprised considering Siddley is from Another Edios and not Housamo.

>>1723465
Again thank you for the translations!

Kobitowani did a design for Housamo eh? Maybe they also hired him to illustrate a hero for Live-A-Hero at the same time. Either way that Gargoyle's hot in large sized and cute chibi sized. Wise decision as well to put him in a wrestling singlet.

>>1723770
>Choco Volcano will be ending in about 2 days. But there is still about 10 days left before everything thing else related to the event ends.
I do wonder what will happen next. The fabled next story chapter? A spring themed event? Character training?

>>1723465
It brings me joy how the LaH team really likes Phein, Hydoor, and Esperica so much to include them often in either events or these April Fools things.

>>1724026
>hired him to illustrate a hero for Live-A-Hero at the same time
It's not impossible. Vorusu did Hastur for new semester and then here comes Obsidius a couple of months later.

>Wise decision as well to put him in a wrestling singlet.
I said this in the Housamo thread while Gargoyle isn't enough for me to summon I can appreciate the wrestling singlet.

>what will happen next
It's anyone's guess really. I think maybe a Main Story Chapter will be saved for the 5th Anniversary at the latest. But for now they might stall with another Training Campaign or even a Contract Campaign for the scuba diver enemies from the Lost Ancients of Blue event. Then follow that up with a rerun of Jailbreak! Health Check Crisis! to "fix" their schedule after Super Catch! Battleship Fishers messed with the rerun pattern. Or they might rerun it next week since it was an event in mid April last year.

>include them often in either events or these April Fools things.
It seems they do a good job of keeping characters included to some degree. Granted unlike Housamo the cast is still under 100 characters so maybe that might change in the future. But hopefully not.

https://live-a-hero.jp/campaign/11029
>>1724358
> Contract Campaign for the scuba diver enemies from the Lost Ancients of Blue event
Oh how right you are. But there's also new link quests, those that are mainly just text and characters interacting with each other and a new score attack challenge.

>>1724600
God why did I have to be right about them stalling even if it is technically new content it's a bit irritating. They could have started this on Thursday and still have it run for two weeks rather than waiting a week then starting. Granted 9 times out of 10 if they can stall in some fashion then they will. I will say the banners are pretty tempting with Christmas Polaris Mask making a surprisingly quick reappearance and Summer Alphecca whose probably one of the best Heroes in the game. Which means this is bait for whatever is next towards the end of this month/start of May.

Is it bad that I don't see Live A Hero lasting another year...

>>1727101
What makes you say that? The past event with Vlaham had the most fanart I've seen online in a while. As far as content goes the game could be in a far far worse state (I genuinely have no idea if f-kare even gets 1 update a year anymore) so I'm satisfied with what we have. Frankly releasing new characters more often just makes it harder for f2p to save up because they'll be tempted to roll more, and we can see they're slowly increasing rewards in housamo so I'm sure they're taking feedback to do the same here.
Unless they just release a bunch of bad events with several ugly characters in a row that makes low revenue I don't really see them pulling the plug anytime soon (I hope not anyway but I guess you can never truely control what happens)
I just hope Vulpecula gets a summer alt this year or at least something cool, he makes my dick explode.

You might be unsatisfied with how the game is and how slow content comes out but I'd rather not have them introduce any artifact/gear grinds of the sort because the parallel quartz is enough investment into a character's statlines. But I guess if it's for a new game mode with monthly ticket and stone prizes I would be more open to it.
Tl:Dr eh, don't see a need to push the panic button just yet

>>1727115
To be fair I'm just tired of waiting for story content. We didn't have one since like late 2023 (or was it early 2024?), and a mix of the game just not being that appealing and being just RAPED by the gacha and never being able to get Isabiri and Valham.

Sorry for the doomposting but this game isn't giving me reasons to come back.

>>1727321
No you're right September 2023 was the Chapter 2 Book 2 quest with Exio and Danzo
For some reason they had the Rokusei event last year instead of a Main Chapter banner, then 4th anniversary, then the Pubraseer event banner
So who knows? Maybe one of them was supposed to be a Main Chapter but one of the artists wasn't available so they had to improvise or something.
The gacha IS pretty brutal though. Once your beginner stones dry up you're basically skipping a year to spark guarantee a favorite limited or praying 5 tickets is lucky enough to get you what you want. It does hurt the fun when the event gameplay is based around the new heroes on the banner and you only get the sidekick version. I hope that with the 5th anniversary (wow) this upcoming year we get a Limited selector ticket to help teambuild. Out of everything in 2024 I only get Kalaski and Rokusei and whiffed on Giansar and Isaribi

>>1727115
>f-kare even gets 1 update a year anymore
I haven't looked into f-kare is/was it a live service or gacha game? I didn't know it received updates of any kind.

>Vulpecula gets a summer alt this year
I would be surprised if he doesn't get an alt this year considering Nessen and Giansar have alts.

>>1727321
I can see why you feel the game's future maybe uncertain and to be blunt any gacha or live service game could announce it's End of Service at any point for one reason or another. I don't know how much the game makes I've heard there have been games that barely turn a profit but kept their service or a long time and still might to this day. Besides Housamo probably makes enough for Lifewonders to be alright financially. Plus I haven't noticed a drop in quality they've been testing out new stuff in some events so they aren't seemingly phoning it in. But saving can be brutal especially if you have multiple favorites. Hell I only summoned twice last year for Obsidius and Pubraseer alts. I had to spark both of them I got Gaisei three times trying for Pubraseer while I didn't get any 5star characters when summoning for Obsidius (Seriously what are the odds!). That's why I don't feel safe unless I have two sparks saved or at least 1700 Ether Stone equivalent due to that and having to save for 8 to 10 months for a spark otherwise. But anyway maybe take a small break from the game or just do the bare minimum so you can save Ether Stones and Tickets.

>>1727360
>Rokusei event last year instead of a Main Chapter
I don't know anything about the Main Story since I'm waiting on the translation but maybe they are trying to future proof the story so they don't pull a World Flipper. But I also think they wanted to have two summer events but also a more proper anniversary event so they made The Glorious Rising Moon anni event instead of a summer event

>we get a Limited selector ticket
That would be nice but if we do get something like that I wouldn't know who to use it on

>>1727360
the 4th anniversary was supposed to be a main banner but they needed a reason to change it.

We're coming on 5 whole years with out TL huh? At this point they might as well just skip it since the game is guaranteed to go eos long before they could even finish it.

>>1727708
They could do it if they ever hired more than one English translator, but if they still haven't done it in all these years I don't know if they ever will. Somehow they view briefly putting up ads in Shinjuku Station for Housamo's Valentines event as more profitable than translating their games for rest of the world.

Why the fuck can they not afford localisation with how "big" lifewonders is when crave saga managed to get its own after just 1 year after release lmfao

>>1727752
Crave Saga's "tl" is literally just the team taking the JP script and putting it into Deepl (and sometimes forgetting to even copy paste the translated text back in). Eidos would be a better comparison. Translations into english and Chinese in parity with the JP version while being smaller than both LW and Crave.

>>1727741 JP is obviously they're makn demographic, and Taiwan CN is their secondary, esspecially since alot of Taiwanese players can read Japanese too. English is by far an afterthought.>>1727752

>>1727823
Still not an excuse. The quality of the translation isn't relevant here. It doesn't change the fact that within a year it did get approval for the legal distribution of a localised version by a whole ass different studio, with handmade graphic design and a social media manager, all that should take longer than translating a 10 book pages long story and a simple ass UI.

LiveAHero’s Spring campaign is now live!

As revealed last week there are Link Quests and two banners featuring Heroes featured to the Link Quests.
With notable Heroes being Summer Barrel, Summer Alphecca, and Christmas Polaris Mask.

The ability to get the Divers as playable Heroes.

And a Score Attack campaign that functions like the Bi Weekly Challenge Simulator.

Also everyone has received six Ether Stones as maintenance compensation.

welcome back all.

hydoor alt. only have 50 stones. fuck this game

>>1732915
Meanwhile me approaching 300 stones because I haven't rolled all year and the next banner is another easy skip for me
Just waiting for a single good character to release this year

In the last few days a new event has been announced World End Travelers! Hydoor and Danzo will have Alternate versions and Barte has escaped NPC Jail. We also will get the new character Gnomon from the Item Shop. And with his inclusion we finally have free to play Heroes for every Attribute (only took 4 and half years). We will also have the ability to get 50 Ether Stones and other items through Limited Time Login Bonus and Missions.

Of course the event won't start until Wednesday 20:00 JST thanks to stalling with the current Character Development Campaign which increases the amount of Training Bands and Parallel Quartz earned from their respective Quests. The Campaign will end Tuesday 23:59 JST.

So are you planning to summon on the banner? If so who are you summoning for? Do you have any hopes for their Role/Playstyle for any preexisting teams that you currently use?

For me personally Gnomon is really the only one who interests me so I'm glad he's free to play. I'm hoping that he'll be something combo related so I can have a bit more variety to my combo team.

https://live-a-hero.jp/info/11057

>>1732915
It's good to be back! And I wish you the best of luck if you try to summon for Hydoor!

>>1733206
Thanks for the good luck. If I don't end up getting him I guess I'll have to get used to logging in to make sure I hit pity

Also am I wrong but didn't Barte (oni lady) die in a flashback or something?

can't wait for him!
>slit zipper
with that said he sure isn't "lewd looking". even his original costume was way lewder.

>>1733204
>mixed toilet

>>1733206
>are you planning to summon on the banner?
I gotta at least do a 10-pull for Hydoor, we'll see where that takes me afterwards. As for his role, I'm not sure, but I guess it'd be nice if I could get a mixed buffer that I can use with my brain turned off.

>I'm glad he's free to play
Same here. I love how even Sawch's grumpy characters still look super soft.

>>1733222
I know I've said it somewhere in this thread but for logging in and doing your daily missions I think we get around 90 to 110 Ether Stones every 56 days depending on where you are for the accumulative login days. And add Maintenance Compensation, Event Stones and Tickets It should take about 7-8 months. If you don't care about getting Star Shards you can easily speed run the Daily Mission in less than a minute.

>>1733225
I don't know the only thing I've ever read/translated was Pubraseer's Special Quest during Anniversary last year. I'll be honest I don't even know when Barte debuted I only learned about her when I was poking around the wiki last year.

>>1733275
Best of luck on your summons! While he covered up more with this alt depending on what route they take for his alternate skin he may end up in a more revealing outfit at the end of the event.

>>1733556
>I gotta at least do a 10-pull for Hydoor
And best of luck to you too with your summons!

Joezen and Sterio come to mind and they're both 4star too so you might already have them.

>As for his role, I'm not sure
I might be wrong but I think more often than not Hero alts tend to be a different Role than their permanent version. But some cases they can be a mix like Star Insignia Pubraseer being a harmacist. So I could see Roaring Storm Hydoor being a Debuff character with high attack values for his skills. Or having the ability to attack multiple enemies randomly like his permanent version to spread Debuffs.

>Sawch's grumpy characters still look super soft.
That's a good way to put his art style. I'll be honest I wish Gnomon had a larger/fluffier mane like Toshu's just a preference of mine. But if his touch line has him asking why are we touching his mane then pouts when we stop saying something like "I didn't tell you to stop." That would give him an extra point in my book.

>>1733650
>>1733275
I will say his pecs does look more "full", he generally looks more muscular

>>1733275
I can't not fuck him. I've been waiting for a Hydoor alt since he first appeared in Summer Dive Amusement. I'm ready to hit spark for him.

>>1733650
>And best of luck to you too with your summons!
Thank you!

>Joezen and Sterio
Oh yeah, I actually have both. I kept accidentally wasting my VP and debuffs with Joezen's S1 so I haven't used him much beyond the farming quests from his event. I should probably give Sterio's kit a proper read though, I see him pop up in teams a lot.

>a mix like Star Insignia Pubraseer being a harmacist
lmao Pub really went "I'm a healer, but..." and pulled out an entire sword.
But yeah, it'd be cool if Hydoor kept some aspects of his attacker role. Based on the banner designs, he and Barte seem like they'd fit the bill.

>something like "I didn't tell you to stop."
Man... I can totally picture it. His description on the official website even mentions him only appearing cold because he's not good at expressing himself, and that he has a surprisingly wide emotional range.

I added up the Ether Stones and Tickets we should be getting from Maintenance compensation, Quests, Missions and the 50 Ether Stones it should be the equivalent of 121 stones. Add in dailies starting tomorrow until the last day of the event then it should be around 170 equivalent. Of course depending on where you are on your consecutive login streak and the 50/100 day login bonus it could be a bit more or less. Just thought all of you who are planning on summoning would want to know in case you're budgeting your summons or wondering if you'll be able to spark by the end.

>>1733691
I thought that too. The skin tight fabric and the diamond harness thing definitely bring more focus to his pecs.

>>1733746
Best of luck on your summons! I hope you don't have to spark for him it always sucks when you have to do that.

>>1733869
>Sterio's kit a proper read though, I see him pop up in teams a lot.
He's probably the best support in the game right now. He revolves around his unique buff from his 2nd skill called Hunting Horn which he gives to one Hero for two turns. HH gives the Hero a 10% increase to their skill activation. When the Hero with HH attacks, Sterio will follow up with his 1st skill up to two times a turn and inflicts Scar each hit. 3rd skill gives the Hero with HH Atk up for two attacks, Good Luck and Spd Up for three actions. Plus the Hero with HH will use their 1st skill on the enemy you choose.

>"I'm a healer, but..."
Literally what I thought of when I learned he can heal by dealing damage.

>Hydoor kept some aspects of his attacker role
I can see them keeping his multi hit damage. Just hope he doesn't have low spd and high spd requirements for max damage that would suck.

>I can totally picture it
Yeah I'm hoping that's how it goes. Big grumpy/gruff men who get flustered because they secretly like affection or don't know how to handle it is a trope I like. Also add purring or whatever happy animal noises they would make that would be the cherry on top.

>>1734087
>around 170
That's pretty good. Gonna try my hardest to spend less than that so I actually do have an emergency spark ready one day.

>Hunting Horn
Lots of consecutive attacks with him, I see. I imagine all those combos also help you make back the VP cost. I've been more often reserving it for attacking S3s, this could be a good way to change that.

I managed to get 65 gems. Should I wait and get the 50 were supposed to get or just pray to the gacha gods?

Or just wait a whole fuckin year?

>>1734332
>emergency spark ready one day.
Saving can be difficult but when when you do have enough for a spark it's a nice feeling knowing you'll be ready. Especially since we never know what could be added next.

>help you make back the VP cost.
Sterio's follow ups do generate ViewPower so you should get a return and then some on it's cost. Also I forgot to mention if the Hero with Hunting Horn uses an AOE Sterio will use his 1st skill as an AOE despite normally being a single target skill. Also the 10% increase for Skill Activation from Hunting Horn stacks with Good Luck giving skill's secondary effects and sidekick passives an extra 30% chance. You can even get it to an extra 40% if you have Rutilix's Sidekick Passive maxed out which makes most effects 80 to 100% at that point.

>I've been more often reserving it for attacking S3s
Yeah some 3rd Skills are costly but newer Heroes tend be a lot more cost effective than older ones. Like Akashi's 3rd Skill costs 16,000 at Engravement Level 0 and without his Skill Tree and Ryekie's costs 23,000 at 4star and lowers to 18,000 when you increase his rarity to 5 star.

>>1734447
Are you wanting to summon just to summon? Because to me it sounds like you just want to summon right this minute. If that's then case wait for the event later this week never summon on the permanent banner unless it's the permanent banner tickets. But even with the extra 50 Ether Stones you'll have around 23 summons and that doesn't give you the best odds for anything of note. Honestly in my opinion if you're content with your current roster, can clear most content, and no one interests you on the upcoming banner I would just save for any favorites who might get an alt/already have one.

>>1734490
i'm kinda desperate for the new hydoor, just a really hard decision.

>>1734554
I remember that feeling brings me back to my early Gacha days before I started hoarding everything. I don’t know if it’ll help you but a few things I think about if I want a character in a game that doesn’t have a spark or pity. Like how many summons do I have, how many do I feel okay using, how many summons should we get in the near future. Are there any others characters that I like or their alts possibly rerunning soon.

Considering you have have about 65 Ether Stones and presumably no Ether Tickets right now by saving everything just before the end of the event you should have around 40 to 50 summons by then. I wish I could tell you the probability of getting him in that amount of summons but I don’t know to do the math but the odds are probably not too high all things considered. Normally I would say wait until anniversary but I don’t think LiveAHero reruns event banners for anniversary and I can't remember if that's correct to save my life. There is also a chance they might throw him on a random Aether Banner as a focus character before World End Travelers gets reran next year but that's not a guarantee either. In the end if you use 50 stones, all of them, or decide to save there’s nothing wrong with that it’s your account to do what you think is best. And if you do try for Hydoor like I tell everyone I wish you the best of luck!

>>1733204
Probably not gonna roll much either, just gonna wait for denebora

World End Travelers has been live for a little over 2 hours! As always we have received six Ether Stones as Maintenance compensation. It seems that the 50 Ether Stones are divided up into two different parts. First is a seven day login bonus providing various rewards and Ether Stones which by the 7th day you’ll have earned 24 Ether stones. The other set of stones are related to missions clearing specific quests of the Event Story. So the Ether Stones are spread out and not just given to us immediately like I had assumed. Also we only have five Ether Tickets available in the shop instead of six like there were for Light Years Illumination and Chocolate Seekers. Which automatically drops my estimation to around 165 Ether Stone equivalent by the time the event ends.

In other news we now have a business card where we can see our Support List, Player ID, and Player Rank in one place. You can change your Title, the background, and the Hero/Sidekick of your business card to your liking.

On the Banner Screen you now have the ability to test out New Heroes in Trial Quests! Each Quest gives you a pre set team and if you complete the Quest you'll get an Ether Stone as a reward so be sure to clear them!

Also Gnomon, Bardic Wanderlust Danzo , Raging Storm Hydoor, and Barte will stop by your Office if you have Display Guest enabled.

>>1735124
Why would they be all at once...? Are you new or something? This is how they do it every year for the Golden Week login bonuses.

anyone got a translation for the quests that reward gems?

>>1735124
>titles
We're gonna be seeing kanji until EoS, aren't we?

The Trial Quests are nice though, very simple overview on what each new character's about and you even get rewarded for clearing them.

>>1735192
I'm assuming you mean these. The far right one's from the start of the event, but I don't think the rules in them apply to farming quests.

Can someone explain how Danzo’s alt works?

>>1735360
He's a harmacist healer who heals your team based on his atk% and can cleanse debuffs off your team while passively giving them atk% buffs based on view% before they use a skill. His ult debuffs speed on all enemies, x1.5 multiplier to view gain for the next 2 actions, and then gives himself 3 follow up attacks after an ally takes action to deal additional damage

Tl:dr he heal he deal he a pimp daddy for real
Smack em with the backhand and kiss them goodnight

>>1735173
No I'm not new I just remembered wrong so that's a mistake on my part.

>>1735192
Do you mean these? Most of them are related to completing the Event Story Quests. The one with 5 Ether Stones is for clearing a Challenge Quest and one of the ones with Gnomon's Sidekick Mind as a reward is just sending Heroes on sales trips to get the event item but I don't know about the other one I already cleared it.

>>1735203
kanji until EoS, aren't we?
I hope that's not the case but time will tell.

>Trial Quests are nice though
It's a pleasant surprise especially since they could have decided not to give anything as a clear reward.

>>1735360

1st skill just Inflicts Vertigo and gains 1000 VP

His passive increases ally attack based on the total VP before using a skill activation up to 50% Atk when the VP total is 35,000 or higher.

2nd skill heals one ally and their adjacent allies for a smaller amount. He will also increase Harmonics by 2 and will further increase Harmonics up to a max of 6 by consuming 1000 VP for each stack. He also gains Harmonics when an ally earns VP.

At the start of an allies action if they have taken damage during the current turn or have a Debuff Danzo will use one stack of Harmonics to heal the ally and remove 1 Debuff.

3rd skill inflicts Super Speed Down on all enemies and grants Concerto to all allies. He will also give himself Voltage for three turns. When he has Voltage if an ally with Concerto damages an enemy he will follow up with an attack called Pick Toss and if the ally used a non damaging skill Danzo will attack all enemies instead. The damage increases based on the total VP gained while Voltage is active. After 80,000 VP is gained PT uses 170% of his attack. Also if you use his 3rd Skill while Voltage is still active it will increase the duration by one turn. Sterio, Borealis (with his Skill Tree), and a DPS seem like good teammates for follow up shenanigans

If you have any other questions I'll try to help the best I can!

>>1735372
weird, I finished story mode but why don't I have the even quest episode 8. unless it's referring to the current story?

>>1735385
They haven't released all the event episodes yet. It's normal for them to only release like two of them every few days. Same thing with high difficulty quests.

>>1735365
>>1735372
Thanks. What about gnomon is he worth investing in?

>>1736009
I'd get him to at least 5star to make grinding easier but I think he's neat enough.

Gnomon is a VP gain Hero with a Field Effect and has decent base attack the 4th highest of all VP Heroes. His 1st skill deals damage to 1 enemy and will gain an extra 2000 VP. It has a passive where if there is a Field Effect in play he'll increase his Atk by 20% until the Field Effect is gone. 2nd skill removes one buff from 1 enemy and grants himself a new buff called Chant which does nothing until at the end of the turn where he will remove it to earn an extra 5000 VP. Also when using his 2nd skill if a Field Effect is not in play he will apply Guidance Zone to the field. Which reduces the VP required for Ally skills by 1000. If a Field Effect is already in play he inflict Def Down to the target instead. 3rd Skill deals 180% of his attack as damage to 1 enemy and it will use one of two effects based on the total number of enemies. If there’s only one he will inflict 2 stacks of Def Down on the target. If there two or more he will also attack enemies adjacent to the main target with 90% of his attack.

Also his skills are called Scarecrow's Knowledge, Heart of Tin, and Over the Rainbow he's a Wizard of Oz reference!

And why not maybe other people would like to know about the others

Barte is a Combo Debuffer. Her 1st skill hits one enemy twice and each hit has a 50% chance of inflicting Explosion. 2nd skill inflicts Aim on 1 enemy and if Combo is 4 or lower she will increase Combo by an additional 2 points. If Combo is 5 or higher she will inflict three stacks of Scar on the target instead. 3rd Skill inflicts a new Debuff called Stare on 1 enemy and she will immediately follow up with her 1st skill. Stare increases damage taken by 10% up to 20% when Combo is 10. 3rd Skill's passive effect is when an enemy with Stare is attacked there’s a 50% chance to increase combo by an additional point. The chance increases by 25% for each Debuff the enemy has other than Stare.

>>1736082
Raging Storm Hydoor is an Attacker that can act twice a turn thanks to his Courage Gauge. His 1st Skill deals damage to 1 enemy and if he is the first to act in the turn he will give himself Spd Up and gain an additional 1500 View Power. He has a passive where for every Speed Hero on your side of the field he will increase his attack by 15%. If he has Spd Up he increases his attack by another 10% and increases the spd of all allies by 5. 2nd Skill deals two hits to a 1 enemy and any adjacent enemies. If he has Spd Up he will activate his 2nd skill again targeting the enemy with the lowest HP up to two times. Each additional activation will have it's base damage lowered by 5%. Each additional activation will not consume nor will it earn any View Power. 3rd Skill deals 160% of his attack as damage to 1 enemy and the modifier increases based on the Spd difference between himself and the target. The modifier caps at 320% of his attack if the Spd difference is 50 points.

Now about Hydoor's Coruage Gauge every time he or an ally hits an enemy the gauge increases by 2. When CG reaches 10 he will act again if he already has acted in the same turn. If an Ally grants him Spd Up the he will increase CG by 5. So having allies that hit multiple times like Hydoor's 4star or Viscunam can get his CG filled quickly along with an ally that grants Spd Up. I really feel like I jinxed Hydoor by saying I hope he doesn't have a Spd difference requirement. At least this time he has 114 Spd and up to 119 Spd if you pair him with Sidekick Kalaski, Seiichiro, or Orbiter. Which I think Seiichiro would probably be the best due to his Active Skill and his SK Passive isn't bad either. But you'd also need an Ally with Super Spd Down so Hydoor's 3rd skill can get the max damage against enemies that are at 99 base Spd or if he has Spd Up then he'll deal max damage to enemies with 109 base Spd.

Did 2 ten pulls and all my tickets. Only got a Barte sidekick. Why does this games gacha suck so fucking much. I hate this game so much man.

I just want Hydoor's slit, and all I get is fucking Barrel and Sui copies. Here is to one year of grinding stones to get him next time.

How many of you are gay or are actual women

Genuine curiosity.

i'm bi but I lean so far into men that i might as well be gay. flamier is hot.

>>1737178
I'm bi but I lean into men when it comes to relationships so I might as well be gay. Zaniah is hot though.

>>1737178
Gay but picked cat MC cause they're cuter, among other reasons.

I'm a faggot which is why I always hated women in LW's games. More like their games having women

Goddamn, the animation during the last fight was pure anime. What's next? We get a full ED segment with a vocal song in the event after this one?

>>1743234
I know right! I just finished it about an hour ago. It's cool to see all the things they are trying out with events. I wish I knew what was going on because Why are we fighting a satellite type enemy. Where the hell did Exio's skeleton snake thing come from?

Of course I could just not skip the story and translate screenshots but that's tedious and I'm not doing that again. Maybe when I get caught up with Housamo LifeWonders will then announce the English translation.

>>1737472
nothing's worse than
>new banner
>two hot dudes that you'd be happy to get...
>and a new f*male character
>and she's the only one you get off the banner

>>1743278
The worst thing is that it is basically the meta for banner construction too. "4* Female, 5* Furry Male, 5 Human Male. One of the males is limited".

>>1743276
>Why are we fighting a satellite type enemy
Like any older RPG, it has to shift its genre towards sci-fi near the end and have you fight the final boss in space.

>>1743278
you're lucky to get her. i got jack shit from three multis. fuck this game and it's shitty rates

>>1743444
True or it's fight the god of the world in space.

With the story of World End Travelers having concluded earlier this week Epilogue Quests for the characters and the Challenge Quest version of the Final Boss has been made available. Along with Bardic Wanderlust Danzo and Roaring Storm Hydoor receiving an alternate skin.

An SS battle was made available today and ends on June 5th 14:00 JST.

The Epilogue quests and Banner will be around for just under a week ending May 28th 14:00 JST.

However when those end we will be getting a rerun of Jailbreak! Health Check Crisis! and will run until June 24th 14:00 JST.

There will of course be a banner rerun featuring

Bulldozing Destroyer Obsidius
Mobile Soldier Okitaka
Bygul

There will also be accessories for them in the Event Shop.

And this will be a chance for people who may have missed the event last year to get the free to play Hero Shidemasu.

https://live-a-hero.jp/info/11278

>>1747716
Man I thought we'd finally get another main story chapter. Broker and one of his freak dragons appeared after all. Oh well, a chill re-run is also welcome.

>>1747716
>need more stones
>don't wanna spend money
Fuuuuuck. Back to meditating under the falls it is then.

>>1747716
it's going to suck having to save stones so i can get hydoor net year.

>>1747846
I feel like the next Main Story chapter will be be just before anniversary like it was in 2023 or actually be apart of anniversary. But yeah reruns are nice since for most people its a chance to safely save up for whatever's next.

>>1747859
>>1747956
Between now and June 24th logging in everyday doing dailies and with the event rerun we should get I think the equivalent of around 80 to 90 Ether Stones you maybe able to add 10 or 20 more if you hit a 50/100 day login bonus during that time it would slightly higher if we got more than 3 Ether Tickets during reruns. It will take a bit to save up 200 summons but it's possible I have faith in you two!

>>1748390
thank you anon. ill save up for my day one husbando

>>1748390
Yeah, it's looking like a skip for me but thanks anon. There's a lot more banners to come so I can't really justify rolling on a whim right now, as much as I'd like to have at least one version of each character. Maybe by the time Alt Obsidius shows up again I'll be in a better spot.

>>1748470
I've already said it but I have faith in you! And when Raging Storm Hydoor comes back I hope you get him in the first tenfold!

>>1748575
Hey that's understandable we are approaching Gacha Summer banners after all. Well in LiveAHero's case in about three months tops but regardless it's a reason to start saving early. It's likely Jailbreak Obsidius will probably show up in a random pick up banner before you know it.

The Jailbreak! Health Check Crisis! rerun is live! As always we received six Ether Stones for Maintenance Compensation, all Event Story Quests are available from the start and the Epilogue Quests will be unlocked after finishing the Story. However Challenge Quests will be added at a later date. And as a reminder of the Event's gimmick if you break the enemy's gauge under their HP by the time it's their time to act in the turn they will attack themselves, other enemies or provide Attention to your Heroes. Then they will Wait to postpone their actual action later in the turn.

Also on June 3rd 18:00 JST Toshu and Yoshiori will have their Character Quests added. And there will be a Commemorative Character Quest banner featuring their permanent 4 star and 5 star limited alts.

https://live-a-hero.jp/info/11278

>>1750739
Is this a good banner to summon on are they any good?

>>1751137
You can summon if you want if you like any of them always play with your favorites. But in my opinion this banner is more for players with a large roster as Okitaka and Obsidius are good but need specific support to reach their full potential.

Bygul is an AOE Shadow Enmity Attacker. 1st skill takes 10% of his Max HP to deal 45% damage twice but targets are randomly chosen. If there's only one enemy it's basically 90% damage. 2nd skill is 110% damage to one enemy and inflicts Def Down while he gets a Barrier based on his View. If he already has a Barrier he will increase his Debuff resistance by 30%. 3rd skill damages all Allies for 20% of their Max HP this wont lower HP below 1. Then deals 70% damage to all enemies but the closer Bygul is to 1Hp it increases up to 140%. Honestly he's high risk middling reward if you have Vlaham he is a better option with more versatility thanks to his Bullet Mechanic but being more team conscious. If you also have Alend the three of them could work as a Enmity team.

Okitaka is a mixed Aether Attacker focusing on getting multiple buffs or buffs with long duration. 1st skill deals 60% damage gives him Def Up and has a passive where if an ally uses a non damaging skill he will give himself Blast. 2nd skill deals 160% damage and gives him Atk Up for the next two attacks. 3rd deals 100% damage to all enemies but he removes all buffs on himself to increase his damage based on the total duration of all removed buffs. Say if he has 2 turns of Good Luck and 1 stack of Atk up that would count as a total duration of 3. This caps at 10 and gives an extra 400% for 500% total. This also gives him two stacks of Ambush which functions like Atk Up but it's based on the total duration of the removed buffs. It's 5% for every duration so at max it's a 50% increase. Joezen, Sterio, and Canes are good options to get the most of his 3rd skill. He has high damage potential but if you have Hydoor's alt he's a bit better and easier to use.

>>1751137
Obsidius is mostly a Single Target Wood Debuffer focusing around his exclusive Debuff Bullet Hole and the damage it deals through Onslaught. Bullet Hole can only be applied through his 1st and 3rd skills. It acts as a counter for Onslaught which can be his main source of damage. It can deal 40% to 230% damage based on the number of stacks of Bullet Hole an enemy has at the end of the turn each enemy can have up to 20 stacks. You can increase the stack by 1 when other Heroes inflict Debuffs, deal damage or both. However if they are a Debuff Hero they add 2 stacks instead. He also has his own version of Critical it works like Santestsu and Vlaham's being a chance to increase damage by 30% but his is tied to how many Debuffs the target has being 20% for each Debuff. 5 stacks of Bullet Hole will satisfy that requirement. Now his skills 1st hits one enemy 3 times for 20% damage each hit and will inflict 1 stack of Bullet Hole. 2nd deal 100% damage to one enemy and lowers their Atk and Def. 3rd hits 4 times randomly for 40% damage and each hit will remove one buff and add one Bullet Hole.

He wants to attack first to apply Bullet Hole and have allies who are Debuffers or have skills that hit multiple times. GhostWoods Flamier, Tsuneaki and Barte are nice 4star options. Canes, Viscunam, and both versions of Giansar can work with getting multiple stacks of Bullet Hole but the best Hero would be Lightning Blade Kouki & Sirius. With enough VP their 2nd skill can hit 5 times and can inflict 5 debuffs almost guaranteeing 20 stacks of Bullet Hole on one enemy. Obsidius works well with Christmas Monomasa as he can hit multiple times letting Dark Shadow and Starlight stack quicker which lets his 3rd skill hit multiple times increasing Bullet Hole stacks and that increases Onslaught damage. Atosis SK passive can make him into a mini harmacist and since Obsidius can take a pounding thanks to his high HP and Onslaught damage being end of turn Ganran SK passive helps a lot.

Today's update added Toshu and Yoshiori's Character Quests, their banner, and the first two Challenge Quests for Jailbreak! Health Check Crisis!

Also there is one week left before the current Challenge Simulator and Unexplored Exploration reset. So make sure you've earned enough points in Unexplored Exploration for the 5 Ether Stones that are available before then!

>>1757306
is lewd toshu worth pulling nowadays

>>1757483
First I want to say if you like him then there's nothing wrong going for him. In most cases you can use your favorites well enough to clear content. However to be honest the past year and 3 months have been rough for Swordman Spirit Toshu he was basically the best Aether Attacker but now he has tough competition.

He's really straight forward. He's a slow mixed attacker but if he attacks an enemy that hasn't acted yet his 1st and 3rd skills damage modifier increase by 40% making them 100% single target and 140% AOE damage respectively. And his 2nd Skill inflicts Spd Down to 1 enemy and gains 8000 ViewPower. This is helps since if there is at least 10,000VP at the start of the turn he gets an extra 10 Spd bringing him up to 113 which helps him out speed things and the Spd down can slow down an enemy that is faster than 113 Spd. But his 3rd Skill's base cost is 11,000VP which is expensive and caps at 140% so that drags him down.

And his competition for reference.

Mobile Solider Okitaka is capable of dealing higher AOE damage for the same base VP cost if you can work with his buff requirement. For reference something that I didn't include in my overview last week is he would only need 4 buffs/4 total buff duration to deal 164% AOE damage.

Star Insignia Pubraseer while being Combo focused he can still work for non Combo teams since he doesn't need a large combo count. Of course the faster you can get the Combo count higher the better. He has a bit of support with healing from his transformed 1st skill with good single target damage from his 3rd skill.

Raging Storm Hydoor has cheap AOE damage that can activate multiple times, has some support for Speed Heroes, can act twice a turn thanks to his Courage Gauge, and nice single target damage with a high damage cap with his 3rd skill.

So if you happen to have any of them then honestly you're set for Aether damage especially with Hydoor. But again if you like Toshu then there's nothing wrong going for him.

Something's wrong with my LAH, it's just black screen

>>1758880
Works fine for me and Lifewonders hasn't mentioned any issues. Are you playing on a phone or emulating? Maybe you updated something recently and that might be causing the issue but I can't say for certain.

>>1758945
It's weird, switching to mobile data made this (and housamo) work

>>1759021
Oh yeah that happens to me sometimes if the games decide my internet is too slow mainly with updating especially in Housamo. But I'm glad you figured it out and it wasn't anything major!

Lifewonders has been surprising me lately I excepted Summer Yohack considering they teased a new outfit for him at Furrymosa7 but I wasn't excepting the Summer Event until Mid July/August. I thought they'd do a double rerun and stall with Summer Night Last Illusion. But with the premise of the event being making a Hero swimsuit calendar to try and bring business back to Enoshima. I wonder if they might throw in some swimsuits or new outfits for other characters like they did for Hero Festa in Midsummer or Virtual Festa Royale I can't remember which did that. Also they are rerunning the banner for Moonlight Dance ~Masquerade of Conspiracy~ alongside the event which is another surprise since that banner was reran back in November last year.

>where is the Vulpecula alt????
I thought he was really popular or at least popular enough to get an alt by now. If any of the other non seasonal Limited Heroes get an alt before him then something has to be up especially if Gaisei gets one.

>crossed 500 stones today
Congrats on getting halfway! You'll reach 1000 before you know it!

>>1765683
Yeah unsurprisingly this is also a skip for me as well.

>>1765683
This, thank you Lifewonders!

I love them both, so I'll definitely be pulling. Can't wait to learn more about Astar, too, since his backstory is kinda wild.

I got around to reading Obsidius' Epilogue Quest and it was short but nice. I didn't know his hospital gown artwork had a teary eyed expression which was precious since he asked for us to hold his hand because he doesn't like needles which I fully understand. Also I would like to say than you LifeWonders for this rerun and making it cannon that Obsidius wears glasses I've enjoyed the fan art I've seen of him wearing them.

>142 pulls>
> 2 5*Astars and 5*Yohack>
Satisfactory

Got best boy from 3 ten pulls and Astar from a ticket, so my lucky streak continues. My only disappointment is how jarringly bad Astar's animations are.

i think you can tell who got the most budget put into them this event...

Well now this event brought in a lot of Damage Over Time Debuff support.

Yohack can inflict Burn 100% of the time and with Buff dispel. 2nd skill Atk down, VP Gain, and some passive healing like Wanderlust Danzo. Explosion stacks, new Field Effect for Damage over time effects and adjacent enemies take 50% of DOT damage and they also take 20% more damage from other skills he can even act again.

Astar is basically a water Lightning Blade Kouki & Sirius except his passive increases Debuff rates based on the number of Debuff Heroes you have. But there 2nd skill is very similar can hit multiple times and inflicts only Explosion. Has respectable damage with his 3rd skill while further increasing his Atk and detonate all stacks of Explosion. He is so tempting to summon for he compliments Jailbreak Obsidius and Ghostwoods Flamier pretty well. He can hit Fire enemies and rack up Bullet Hole stacks for Obsidius. With Astar's Debuff rate passive at max Flamier can inflict one of her Debuffs from her 1st skill 100% and with Rutilix's Sidekick passive her AOE Burn goes to 90%. Also his alt art certainly shows off his thick...tail.

Saotome seems like a solid tank mainly focusing on applying Barriers and having built in Provocation and his Street Snacking Buff for full HP damage boost. I thought he was going to be a healer like Pubraseer considering they both debut during a summer event and use a spear with a banner.

Also the event theme is nice. It reminds me of another song but I can't place it to save my life. But I'm not a fan of it being the menu and battle theme though. That's becoming a bit more common.

>>1769586
>>1769602
Congrats on getting both of them you two!

>>1769673
I actually haven't seen Saotome's animations yet how good/bad are they?

>Joezen got a swimsuit skin
ToT
He's so perfect....

>tanning oil item lets you read the character quests early instead of them being epilogues at the end of the event
Interesting and cool if you skip the banner for the new characters to save for a limited

>>1770056
Astar dealing all DoT damage at once sounds pretty good if you have the right setup for it. I'm struggling real hard to not spend more pulls on him and Yohack too.

>>1770068
It's nice you don't have to read the entire event to get the context behind them. Part of me wonders if they aren't also doing this to better gauge character popularity. Item info is stored server-side after all, and presumably you'd view the quests of whoever you like most first.

>>1770060
I've never seen Joezen outside if his Hero outfit. Never knew he had calico coloration.

>>1770068
Oh so that's what they do I was wondering about that. Thanks for the info!

>>1770480
>pretty good if you have the right setup for it
Both Summer Yohack and Astar seem to be tailored made to support Christmas Giansar. Yohack to spread DOT damage through Ripple Effect and Astar to deal it all at once with his 3rd skill or one stack at a time with his 2nd skill when the stacks are high enough. And now that Explosion is on Heroes that aren't Shadow Attribute we know it's Attribute is based on the Hero who inflicts it. So you can prioritize which Hero to apply Explosion even if the damage coverage is limited. And you still have two slots left for a Healer or go with a Burn enabler Senthak would most likely be a better option over Ghostwoods Flamier. While she as AOE Burn potential Senthak's 2nd skill deals damage and has a 100% to inflict Burn for 2 turns and doesn't need to worry about Combo. Which with Astar triggering all DOT Effects that should in theory be 20% of the enemy's max HP just from those two Burn stacks. Thinking about this is making the DOT shenanigans and with Jailbreak Obsidius synergy it's become harder not to summon. But I don't have all the pieces needed make it work so I'm probably going to continue saving and stick with my Combo team.

Wow naked astar deals some nasty damage, especially in the roguelike mode. I'm saving for denebora but might go for jet ski yohack... astar dupes seem valuable for lowering is s2 view cost as well... Pretty nice banner, probably gonna pull more at rerun but we'll see

Does this game have an English version or should I just fire up Duolingo?

>>1771650
Just don't play it, it's dogshit

>>1771650
No English version but it's somewhat intuitive to figure it out without needing to read much thanks to the autobattle function
If you download a translator app you can read the story and game mechanics
Otherwise you can wait for the English translation, it's been alluded to but who knows if it's coming this year or next year or further down the line

i think we're never going to get an english translation, but the game is pretty easy to play without needing to learn another language.

at most you'll need the wiki to see what some attacks do

>>1771196
>nasty damage, especially in the roguelike mode
I bet he does. If you can get the passives Atosis' Judgement and Hydoor's continuous attack (I think that's what they're called) his damage with his 2nd skill should increase very quickly. Then next turn deal even more damage with his 3rd skill plus all the stacks of Explosion.

And if you do decide to summon some more I wish you the best of luck!

>>1771650
As the others have said no there is not and we don't know when it's coming. Hopefully this year but who knows. But if you're interested in playing then might as well start now. That way you can save for characters you like unless you don't mind rerolling.

doesn't hydoors artist draw vore? the way they draw his maw/mouth is really hot and im even not into vore

>>1775679
I'm not familiar with PariPoi's work outside of LiveAHero but a quick look on their Twitter they seem to have made/are apart of a doujin series called MAWS and based on the cover art I feel there's a high possibility they draw it. If not then they really like a good detailed maw. Which would track because I think every piece of art they've done for Hydoor has him with his mouth open or showing his teeth. And while it's not really my thing they seem to put a lot of effort into it so I'll give them credit for that.

>>1776116
i'll have to check it out

>>1776116
So i read through all of Maws. While it is very vore heavy, it's surprisingly not very explicit. Like yeah it's vore but from what I could read from the chinese scans. It's very 'makes sense in the world-ish'?

In one of the stories the small dragonperson helped the bigger dragon clean(?) their teeth and they accidently shut them. It's hard to explain in words, but it was kinda neat, and again despite not being into vore, it was kinda hot.

what is tsuneaki personality like? is he interested in the player? sorry relatively newfag here..

>>1777594
I'm not too sure myself but if you check the wiki I'm sure you can find translations for the side stories and such he is in.

>>1776990
Ah I figured MAWS went that direction. I will say I can kinda see the appeal of mouth/maws but again vore isn't my thing. But it seems you might have something to look forward to if they continue MAWS.

>>1777594
I do know he asks if you want to skip work and go on a date. But like the other anon I can't say much else but than to go look on the Wiki. Also if you didn't already know Tsuneaki's Summer Alt should will be available soon when Rookies Summer Festa gets reran. Which in theory might be around September.

>>1777787
Also before I forget they made another unrelated doujin with a Hydoor-looking character. This was after Hydoor was released. I guess they love drawing him.

>>1777594
He's 40 something, but likes to act like he's young. He's also kinda shady, since he does a lot of undercover work. But he's a fun character.

I don't play this game but I want to have sex with Mokdai…

>>1777804
Yeah sometimes character designs will overlap whether it's intentional or not. The design reminds me of something else but I can't place it and that's going to drive me crazy.

>>1777812
Is Tsuneaki canonically in his 40's? I know that they have official ages for some characters like Alend is 24 and Denebora is 28 I think I'm remembering those right. I know that there are a few others but those two are the only ones I can quickly recall.

>>1779770
I know there are others who share the same sentiment.

>>1780171
>Is Tsuneaki canonically in his 40's?
Yeah, it came up during the Rakusai Travelogue event. Iirc, Gammei was surprised when he found out how old Tsuneaki is because Gammei looks old for a 30-year-old due to stress.

Other character ages are Sadayoshi being in his 40's and I'm pretty sure Astar is 70+ because his alien species ages really slowly.

>>1781436
>during the Rakusai Travelogue event
Thank you for answering my question! I figured it would have been Rookies Summer Festa that would have revealed his age.

And while I didn't know about Astar I did know about Gammei. But I thought Sadayoshi was also 30 because I swear I seen someone make a 30 year old virgin joke about him a few years ago. But maybe I was mistaken.

What translation app can I use to play the game on my phone?

As always I don't know what's happening in the event. But the newest battle was neat I liked the background and the music for the 1st part.

>>1783543
That depends I think on the play store there's like screen translator/on screen translator something like that. But I don't think there is anything like that on ios though. You can always just take screen shots and run them through google translate or something but I wouldn't recommend that.

>>1783806
Which one do you recommend for android

>>1784327
Sorry I don't have an android phone so I can't give any recommendations. The best I can say is try some out and see what may work for you. The wiki has Hero and Sidekick information translated and I want to say someone has a blog that summarizes untranslated Events/Main Story Quests for both LiveAHero and Housamo. So that gives you some options if you can't find a translator that works well for you.

>>1784327
Not him but I use Tap to Translate Screen for reading everything. It's obviously not perfect but I'll take anything I possibly can to read my favorite characters ToT

>>1784681
>>1784703
Thank you both for answering this.

>>1784846
You're welcome Daddy

>>1784888
Cute almost 30 year old man

>>1784846
Anytime! If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

>>1785139
Right I have to ask does this game have a pity like afterschool summoners I want to save for that limited dragon that I forgot his name and the cat uncle

>>1786510
LiveAHero like Housamo has a spark and it's 200 Summons. Actually LiveAHero has had it's spark since February 2022. Of course starting out you will have access to a fair amount of Ether Stones to help you save up a bit faster than most. But on average it will take about 7 months to save for a spark. But Anniversary is around the corner in late September and they handed out 250 Ether Stones last year.

>limited dragon
I'm assuming you mean Giansar. He has two playable versions which are both limited. His 1st one was apart of the 3rd Anniversary/2nd Summer event in 2023 which already had it's rerun so I don't know when that version of him will be back. But they have had him in like 6 banners after his initial release. And last Christmas he got an alt and that banner should be rerunning in December or early January.

>cat uncle
As for Tsuneaki his permanent version is a 4star and during Anniversary like Housamo there will be tickets that can be used for characters and items so you can easily get him soon without summoning. Then he has his Summer Alt from last year it's 5star and the event should be rerunning in a few months. And that Banner will be good to summon on because it will have Sterio as a rate up Hero and is basically the best support Hero in the game. But you should be able to get him with the Anniversary tickets this year.

>2 hours before the event ends
>game kicks me out for a 400kb update
>can't get past "connecting" on the title screen
Nice game

I finally know what song the event menu/battle theme reminded me of it's the Battle Stage theme in the Battle Frontier from Pokémon Platinum. It's not exact due to the event theme being a little faster but with how the notes progress/alternate from 44 seconds to a minute it sounds like the 25 to 40 second mark in Platinum's Battle Stage. It's not important but I find it funny I finally made the connection just after the event's over.

>>1786771
You know the same thing happened to me I think about 3 weeks ago. I was playing late at night and I guess the game had a small hotfix update and after the download I was stuck on the title screen but it was fine when it was time for a new login day.

Next week we will be getting a rerun of Summer Night Last Illusion. The rerun will start on Tuesday the 22nd 20:00 JST and will be ending on August 12th 14:00 JST. As always it will have a banner rerun featuring

Blessed Rain Lilac 5star
The Limelight Kalaski 5star
Roudin 4star

There will also be another banner specifically the very first summer banner. Summer Dive Amusement! as a reminder it will feature

Water Bullet Akashi 5star
Ripple Sound Hitomi 4star
Hydoor 4star

>>1788303
Wish I could pull for Kalaski..., but saving for Hydoor.

The Summer Night Last Illusion rerun is live!

As a reminder for the final battle in the Event will require you to complete achievement goals before the fifth turn in each phase in order to proceed further in the battle.

The first turn does not have any requirements but on the second turn the first goal will appear. You will need the total ViewPower to be over 30,000 by the end of the third turn. Just use everyone's 1st skill unless you need Lilac's healing and let Yasuhiko use his 3rd skill as it will earn more ViewPower. And it wouldn't hurt to bring Anna and Nessen's HP down relatively low without defeating them.

Your second goal will be defeat two enemies. This can be easily done by using Summer Akashi's 3rd skill if Nessen and Anna's Hp is low enough.

The next phase will start and your next goal is to not let any of your Heroes die until after the end of the second turn. But keep them alive for the entire battle and try use 30,000 ViewPower so Kalaski can activate his Spotlight Passive.

The next goal will be to apply three debuffs. This can be easily completed in one turn if Kalaski has Spotlight active which changes his 1st skill to an AOE that inflicts Vertigo. If he's not in Spotlight you can use his 3rd Skill to inflict up to four stacks of Def Down on the target if they are still alive after the skill is used. Each stack of Def Down will cost an additional 3,000 ViewPower after the skill is used. Lilac's 1st skill also has a 70% chance of inflicting Def Down.

The next phase will start after that and you will need to let Roudin use his third skill which will cost 25,000 ViewPower.

Then finally you need to use Akashi, Lilac, and Kalaski’s 3rd skills then the battle will end.

*extreme coping* Please... show up next event. H-He's just waiting for my birthday to show up with a new limited right? Ahahahahahahaha.....
*bangs head against wall*

>>1792179
As always I'm surprised he hasn't gotten an Alt yet. But with each new Event there is a chance for him to show up. But while you've being waiting for so long you should have a spark/a lot of Ether Stones and Tickets saved for him when he does eventually get an Alt.

So is there any reason to keep sidekick dupes once you get their level cap to 100? Or do you just convert them into cubes?
