>>1614363 (OP)
is Ruka hid a dick? why she act like oji-san

>>1614363 (OP)
Unlike most gachas this one doesn't make me want to kill myself when I have to sit through dialogue.

>>1614363 (OP)
Is this gachi yuri?

>>1614363 (OP)
How does the free subscription work, does it cancel itself at the end of the month?

>>1615223
secondin

>>1615223
They're just battle passes that last 30 days

>>1615153
it's crazy how much higher the writing quality is in hbr compared to other games, even other games that have big names glued to them.

>>1615312
I've been through a lot of slop. Tried WuWa twice recently, and twice I got filtered by endless slog dialogue within the first 3 hours. This game felt like spiritual healing by comparison.

>cfi439hta9w99x29
Just leaving this here if anyone needs a code.
It's free gems.

Why do we need a thread here when it's already available on /vg/?

>>1615585
/vg/ is fucking awful that's why.

>>1615585
You can use that shitshow if you want. I'll stay here. The days where you could have comfy threads like for Toji no Miko there seem to be gone.

Great game, one of the best gachas I've played.

>>1615585
>spoilerfag
im new player and this game story driven

>>1615585
Retards are constantly spamming spoilers there, faggots didn't even bother to use black bars sometimes
That is assuming those are actual spoilers not just whatever made up shit he got with Google translate

>>1615585
yesterday i comment something on there, got called EOP and frickin newfag on new english translated game

>cunts keep posting spoilers without the spoiler tags
Is here safe bros? Should I clear out the event store?

>>1615936
No, I'm not going to use spoiler tags for anything in the main story or events right now. If a new chapter or event comes out, I don't mind using them for a week or two though.

Does JP do those paid guaranteed SSR pulls often? Actually, does it even matter if they do or is it all up to Yostar? I'm not too familiar with how different gacha games could be between regions.

>>1615196
its yuri gacha

>>1616025
I am not sure either, I've only played other JP games from the original publishers.

>>1616025
There's basically always one going on in JP. But it has nothing to do with global.

erm bros /vg/ is unusable because it has the /u/ spoiler spammer and an anti-spoiler schizo. but they're probably the same person. this is why /vg/ doesn't work people have to keep posting and bumping. can't just be a quiet, normal thread.

can i auto dungeon event?

>>1616316
I just closed that thread and joined a Discord. I was spoiled a bunch already.

>>1616316
My only problem so far is half tagged spoiler shit these fags keep doing, these unspoiler shit parts are more than enough to spoil a lot of plot lines

But considering how much they keep sucking their schizos dicks, it will probably get worse

Should I revert a character asap? My girls hit level 100 so I'm not sure how to proceed.

>>1616361
i have same question

>>1616361
no unless you want to gimp them immediately, only revert if you really need the extra skill slot

Rhythm game is very difficult on controller desu
I will try it on keyboard later although the keys are too close together for me (I am 6'3)
The confusing part of these games is always why things are happening in the game while nothing is happening in the music, it is very odd.

FUCK YOU MAEDA YOU DONT INTRODUCE """JOKE CHARACTERS""" TO MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THIS YOU ABSOLUTE MOTHERFUCKER.

I just cleared chapter 1. I like it more than a gacha game deserves. Bossfight was okay, the twist didnt grab me, the concert was epic for a vn. I exclusively used sqad A for every mission so i got really attached to my girls, not gotta lie. And i am engaged now? Looking forward to chapter 2. Might spend some money afterall, too. Not expecting any usefull pulls, just rewarding the makers.

I see that skill levels are shared between SS-S-A of a character. Is it the same for stats? Probably not

>>1616940
No, but limit breaking lower ranks can raise the level cap of SS

>>1616940
>I see that skill levels are shared between SS-S-A of a character
I feel extra retarded for not noticing this desu.

>>1616952
Wait how

>>1617004
level is fixed on character, if you change memoria from SS to A the level still same, and later after max level, each memoria have their own level

Is there any particular rush to do the non-featured events after unlocking them besides playing in parallel to the chapter they're relevant in?

Satomi Kura is the best

I'm honestly surprised by how much I like the game and characters. Combat seems whatever but the interactions between the girls are top notch. And it's the first gacha game where I don't skip dialogue. Guess I'll reward the devs, say I wanna drop 100€ on this, what's good value? I assume the monthly packs and what else?

>>1617099
The SS guaranteed packs are good if you want more SS. The quartz launch bonuses are good if you want to stock up for future SS (if you have a favorite you want to spark for later etc.)
I believe there was also a cheap SS picker, but I bought out much of the shop on the first day so I've forgotten some of the options.
I would prioritize the ones that expire in ~22 days however as you can probably get the other ones later if you still want to.

>>1617099
This first side story about shopkeeper girl... right into the feels.

Got SS Sumomo Minase "Afterglow" from one of the event exchange tickets
About 21 hours left for the score challenge

>>1617104
>spent money
>got aoi ss
It was that easy, huh.
>>1617838
The game has just the right amount of balance between silly and serious, I really like it.

Aina!

Got 65k on the score challenge, not sure if I can do any better

>>1615153
Same. I thought it was because I hated visual novels. Turns out I just hate boring writing

>>1615312
You're joking, right?

>>1618472
If he speaks about gacha, he's completely right chinkboy.

This is my max, not bad

I just started chapter 3 on global, is it safe to read the new event or will it spoil chapter 3 story?

>>1618611
I just started chapter 2 myself, when I tried to play the event it told me to clear chapter 2 first so it probably only goes up to the end of chapter 2

Why is Tama so loud

>>1618611
if you click on any event story it'll tell you certain recommendation on what you should read before you start the story to enjoy reading so don't worry about it if it'll spoil things what not since it'll tell you in advanced.

>>1619064
Better get used to it. She screams every single line ever.

I love Tama desu

>>1619214
To be fair atleast they're telegraphed, one of Misato's dungeon interaction lines made me jump

My Code.
xian4zrkabh7xrcb

I'm in the final days of chapter 2, don't think I can get the accessory crafting weekly this week.
Would give/use code but I'm maxed on both giving and taking.

I'm happy that my SS rolls happen to be girls I actually like, but man does it suck to not have decent Pierce and Crush Attackers

>>1620307
I got 2 Megumins (Ikki Burst and the other one) so I am happy.

>>1620307
I've pulled 3 Ichigo SS. I'm just hoping I can get decent scores between her and Ruka.

>>1617962
She is pancake flat.

I wasn't expecting that rollable units would die.
The narby farewell on top of everything fucking destroyed me.

have a code - skwm7grtjub3gvgy

I downloaded this and is there a way to skip the make a yostar account thing?

>>1622031
I just signed in with my burner google account

>>1622032
Do they send you emails? I have the option of signing in with my apple account.

>>1622038
I haven't received any yet but I'm sure I can opt out of whatever either way, i don't remember getting much from mahjong soul at least

>>1622734
Shocking news

>>1622734
>ntr posters
?

What should I focus on with what I've got?

>>1622734
Good to know I haven't missed anything there

>>1622734
I see doompost, doompost, doompost, Chinese stock investor brigading, and doompost. No ntr. Still garbage tho

>>1622734
Thought I was the only one going insane with all this doomposting.

Turns out the swordsman event has spoilers for the maruyama event, I'm probably going to have to grind through every past event first before attempting an ongoing event to avoid getting spoiled again huh. Thank goodness they're all (mostly?) only 3 days long

>>1622905
Probably one damage dealer and one breaker for each attack type, then pad the teams out accordingly I guess? Haven't gotten to the point where I need healers yet honestly

is yunyun that important? I guess early on? cause in jp vids I see on yt she's not really used

>>1623504
She's good for pretty much all the content. She does get outclassed by newer units but those are usually only for their specific element, whereas Yunyun is useful universally. She's very useful to get as a f2p.

>>1623504
>>>/vg/504161418

>>1623511
>>1623514
hm. well if I get her from tickets later down the line or the 20 free pulls that's great. don't think I'm going for her

>>1623504
The first Yunyun is good to have for her ult so that her thunder style can use it. I have her in all my thunder teams.

>>1623805
>my main team is all thunder because that's what my pulls gave me
aw motherfucker. surely I can use other thunder users. ichigo/yuina ss2/seika ss1 is what I'm using right now. gonna replace with whatever cuties are upcoming.
looked a bit at upcoming banners and ss2 maria is my style she's been funny so far and I like nuns. maybe if I need her ss1 for her thunder ss2 I'll pull and hope I get yunyun along the way.

>>1623504
Helps out your turn 1 clears saving you time for dailies, simplfies team building for medium level challenges, can be used with her SR style (passive is cracked) for some setups and she still has room for powercreep since she hasn't gotten her Tower upgrade yet in JP. Skill can also be used on her alts making it even more future proof and you only need one copy of her.

It's one of the ~4 relevant base style skills.
You don't 'need' to roll for her since for JP there are other means to get her.

>>1623805
It's just sad that she's basically a worse suit Tama but for thunder only in terms of damage she provides. That -66 SP also stings.
And now A-Aoi? Frankly speaking, her living or dying really depends on the next Admirals.

How about Admiral Yunyun. Ex is something like 1 use only: Targeted ally's buff(s) will be copied to all characters in the team including said character and only this one character gains double-ex (when ex skill is used, repeat the same skill once more after).

Passive is: All allies can use their ex with at least 0 sp available. LB0 passive. Allies below 0 sp will regen 1 extra sp. Other LB like Aoi.

>A C C E L E R A T E
So am I pulling for Yunyun or not? We're on an accelerated schedule. I just want the crit pierce team so I never need to worry about anything. And then I guess whichever units implant weakness so that I can run that element as well.

>>1624817
SS1 Yunyun is still a viable buffer that sees use in current JP. She's definitely one of the longest lasting characters you can invest into.

>>1624819
Eh... nobody uses her in endgame. For farming? Yeah. But that's it. No support available for a while but Muua actually really matters nowadays, and Muua only matters because Admiral Aoi exists now. Makes using suit Tama questionable, and Muua does what A-Aoi doesn't and gives some extra sustain so Aoi can focus more on buffing. That said dark and fire have their own dedicated partners for Aoi, so only in the other elements it matters.

>>1624817
For crit pierce you actually want Yunyun, it's like the only thing that really does though. Elemental buffers are much better but obviously can't be used with non elemental.

I'd also personally only recommend dark when it comes to an element forcing team. I think it's retarded how broken that element became in this year. I can play dark better off element than fire on element, and fire ain't bad at all. In fact it's really fucking good outside of that you can't force it and has no room for someone upcoming who could currently either.

Karen-chan: Special3, Special4
Yuki: Special1 (now with a built-in blush)
Yuina: Neutral2, Upset2
And a new Mikoto cutin

Is the S Yunyun passive really better than SS? I get that she can go negative SP,, but it's hard to double stack funnel and defense down with her as is. Or is it better to just do one def down?

Just got past chapter 3 day 14 and my Pierce and Crush teams are barely breaking 9500. Is grinding the elemental dungeons the next stop for leveling them or is there something else that I'm forgetting to do?

A lot of ch 5 assets in this update, especially backgrounds

>>1628825
>S Yunyun with SS1 ex
its mostly for dungeons or for early turn clears

>>1615889
>people are posting spoilers in the GLB thread
>that's why I'll go into the JP thread
???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGAmcBaUHvE
I am so fucking stoked right now!

Just got a Christmas miracle from an S ticket

3 new characters with expressions; Kanade got a new pose and so did Sugayan. Didn't we already have Masami in this game or am I hallucinating?

>>1640668
hoping the mapo tofu praying sprite can be reused for a New Years Kanade SS on Thursday with bond episodes added for collab characters too

>no posts in over 10 days
>threads on /v/ die with 3 posts
What went wrong?

>>1655893
Avoiding spoilers until EN catches up

>>1655893
Why would you post about a game like this on /v/? Is that a joke?

Sugayan: Anger3, Joy, Thought, TightSmile, Upset
Maria: can toggle her "Item" on and off
Yuina: Sadness3, Superiority2

>>1661560
I really want the 3rd ani pv to be a Cancer POV but it's really looking like a G event, conquest, and 5.2...

>>1615196
>y/u/ri
What’s the current health of this game? Also, is it worth it to start playing?

>>1662102
EN is rushing meta banners. Not sure if yostar is retarded or speedrunning eos. Probably both. JP is comfy. If you liked previous Maeda works, give it a try.

>just finished kura's event
why did they even feel a need to write this? i already cried over her. why do i have to do it again? is every fucking event going to be like this? is this game seriously just going to be 80% misery 20% ruka being silly?

>>1663838
also good lord events give such a pittance of quartz

Miko: Anger2, LittleJoy2, Sadness2, Sadness3, Sweat
Yuina has a pajama. She also has a sleeping/wake-up image for day transitions now.
And Misarin in a suit is just perfect.

I want to save for hot spring Isuzu but they keep throwing out sexy costume alts...

>>1671861
So it's looking like G for next month too and then C in April and maybe X in May. I wonder who is getting the swimsuit event this year

what teams should I build out of this roster. I've been using Jamie to kill bosses so far and wanted advice.

>>1675713
If you want to faceroll everything, I would just fully invest in Sumomo and LB3 her with gold pieces. Also you'll need Kura's master skill. Then get default Yunyun with the green gacha tickets or Conquest.
>Sumomo
>Tama
>Yunyun
>Aina
>Kura
>Yanagi for Healing / Kozue for Dmg / Aoi for Hard defense

So with this latest update, I think they said MLB SSes would provide a 10% boost to the other styles of the same character. Does this boost stack if you have multiple MLB styles (say, for Ruka)? I have a few characters who are sitting on 2-3 LB3s and I'm curious if it's worth pushing them up now.

>>1676161
I think it's mlb SS1, not any mlb.

>>1676173
Checked gazou774's tweets to be sure and you're correct.

holy shit I just got 5 free SSR1 pickers and 190 free green rolls which gave me another 5 through rolls and 3 through pity
now I have all SSR1s
how generous
this is all for the anniversary?

Chie: Sadness
Shiki can blush
There's also some lovely new music

I thought for sure this last Domination mode part would finally give light to Chapter 5 remixes....

How necessary are the angel beats collab characters and are they worth fighting my lust for swimsuit Yuina?

>>1684715
They're not. Kanade is the only notable one, being both a top light (SS1) and top ice (SS2) damage dealerYuri is a solid fire damage dealer but you get her for free. Yui has an interesting trick where she can let other party members use their skills for free, but it's not really necessary. Irie is kinda mid.

Did the level cap requirements change with the recent update? I'm over the level cap with alot of characters.

>>1688023
Yeah, the level cap is now also tied to story progression.

>>1687885
Rolling with my dick it is, thanks anon

>>1614363 (OP)
Wait wait wait
This is English now???
How did this miss my radar.

Been out since like December.

I am relieved to learn the boys are safe in another base. I was worried they had all been melted down into fuel to power the city or something.

Man, what an update. 21 new mp3s, new cutins for Wakki and Karerin, a total of 15 pose files, 8 cute new duelists and apparently everyone gets a free Karerin?

Completely new characters: Giara, Hatsu, Purin, Sushimasa
New variants of characters: Wakki Bloody, Wakki Dirt, Wakki NoEyePatch, and then a new one for each 31A
New expressions: Maria LittleJoy2, Vritika Superiority

Judging by the fuckhuge amount of new Wakki and all her options and backgrounds for her side of the chapter, I'll expect her part to be really long. And in keeping with chapter 4.2, I expect every one of the men to piss me off in unique ways.

The music and pose files are already uploaded, but the rest will take some time. Check the mega in a few hours for other assets.

>my fucking sides when I saw the blushing options for the "dead" poses

I'm on day 7 and think I discovered a plot hole.
If the cancer target only intelligent beings, then 31-A should be safe from them!
Maybe that is why they were designated A.
(And if that's the case then 31-C might win this competition since they are even more dumb)

>love maeda
>don't like yuri
Not sure if I should give it a try desu. Is it actual yuri or like an all girl cast that has occasional flirty joke lines?

>>1693538
Its a bishoujo ghetto with lots of yuri undertones and mc is very gay. Her teammates are also very gay. Her sempai is also very gay. Her... you get it.

>>1693538
>>1694153
does anyone even say i love you, in a nonjokingly way? i'm at chapter 3 and desu, it's just yuri undertones. was expecting more. voice acting is top notch tho, first gacha where i don't skip lines.

>>1694174
Karrie-chan ASMR

>>1694174
Where do you think we are? This is yuri. If two girls talk to eachother they are confirmed fucking. If they are holding hands they are married. Kissing is R18 only. I you want confirmations, play further or play yuina's bonding scenes.

>>1694174
If you finish chapter 3 and still think this you might be dumb.

>>1694344
The majority of the cast is bi, except Byakko who's a quadruped.

KILL MAEDA KILL MAEDA KILL MAEDA KILL MAEDA KILL MAEDA KILL MAEDA KILL MAEDA KILL MAEDA KILL MAEDA KILL MAEDA KILL MAEDA

I'm now at 4.1 Boss and my 31A canon run is getting rekt despite having 4/5 SS and i took some time to level up and get some 6star gear. Lets see how far i can lower the difficulty...

>>1693538
I thought they were lez but then they started making out with me in my dream last night and now I don't know what to think.

I'm a huge Key fanboy since I was underage but I hate gacha above any other genre. Is it worth it to try this?

>>1694574
You might as well give it a shot. It's free to play, so if you hate it you can always just drop it after trying for awhile.

>mfw 4-1
It is normal to be an absolute emotional wreck by this point right?

wtf there's badly telegraphed bad-ends? lol.

WHAT DID I JUST UNLOCK?!

>>1694639

I think the en release is stuck between rushing things and giving us the content of the jp version. Yes we want the content, but jp-players have like 6 months worth of time between chapters? Enough to level up and limit break and orbskill all your units. But en players barely have time to level up one squad and BAM new chapter and everything hits like a truck and like three new things to do and new sidechapter and oh look meta banner after meta banner. This might do more harm than good.

>>1694971
keep paying royar customer

Make her say it in red

>X++ is too easy
>X+++ is too hard
is tehre really no other way to get/farm Alexandrites other than the fucking arachne?

>>1694971
So far aside from a few recollections I've finished all the story for free so I'm more wondering what reason anyone would have for paying considering I went through it as quick as I wanted to. The one boss that could've stopped me for a while let you retry at a lower difficultly and for all I know the other ones did the same.

>only successful yuri gacha went het

The fuck are you talking about. I assume it's something schizophrenic and inaccurate.

Irene: Sadness3
Miko: Joy, Joy2
Sugayan has a new cutin

I'm usually not a fan of all the screaming in this game, but Sugayan manages to be pretty fun. I'm excited for her event.

I think an update is supposed to land tomorrow.

Oh yeah. This is my banner.
Already got swimsuit Tsukasa on my first 10x roll

(Are sparks factored into the base percentage? I assume since the details page doesn't say otherwise.)

>tfw day 1 player but chapter 5 day 9 is killing me
My ice power was all concentrated in Adelheid SS2's ult one-shotting bosses so I can't do shit against these mobs.
I guess I'll read the Fenrir event story for a change of pace, then do some focused grinding to strengthen some characters I haven't used until now.
I hope I won't need to use any generic SS limit break mats just to be able to beat mere mobs.

>>1703107
This isn't hoyo. Gacha is gacha, sparks are sparks. Completely separate. No pity probability, only point exchange.

>>1705046
What are you talking about anon

Very balanced squad I have here.

>"I sure hope I dont get a dupe with today's guaranteed SS ticket"
>finger curls
>get that really cute waitress Aoi
>my autism wont let me use her since... you know...

>>1710083
Actually that looks accurate to how their team dynamics are portrayed as soon as cancer show up

I'm very confused by this arena update. I don't seem to be able to leave the regular one in the background anymore?

>>1712886
Power Saving mode is gone, and you can no longer use Arena battles for the purpose of power saving battles. You set up the drops to get and team you want to use for leveling and once the timer is active, you can just close the game. It simplifies things since you don't need to worry about clear times anymore. I do miss the little animation in the corner though.

Are there any new sprite updates? Or was it mainly just the arena changes?

Uhhhhh game?
This isn't the pajeeta nor the slav I ordered...
About fucking time I got a Karen-chan, now about that Tama...

Memoria selection recruitment coming to En version in May

>Yes you should come to my room (that I share with 5 other girls in bunk beds.)

I'm calling her bluff.

Ichigo's default expressions were in this last update but without any change I can detect. I uploaded them to the mega anyway. Also two random kids.

Go vote
>mfw can ONLY pick 6

Daaaayum niggaaah I like these shoes

That's all I have to say

This Bungou feels really strong if you want a general purpose attacker. I was a big Irene believer (and she's still the goat for turn 1 shenanigans), but Unison Bun-chan just drops two super nukes on turn 3 and 4 with the right setup.

>>1733940
For farming purposes that is whatever, as aoe is often needed and Irene/Hisame can do two nukes like that as well. (Heck, Hisame could do even more, with how cheap her ex is)

Bungo is more interesting for the wave endgame mode (her buff sticks, unlike in dungeons/f-arts) and in general for "bigger" enemies. She also works well with Hisame and Sumomo if you get her lb1. Just by sitting in the back, those two hit harder.
Otherwise SP battery and OD generating machine. If you build a team around her for stuff like SA, it'd be very fast and likely good enough to kill anything, which is great for week 2 runs and if you don't care that much about your score.

>>1734158
Also I just realized, that lb1 passive STACKS with double enhances. That's extremely valuable for crit pierce teams, as they can't stack more than 2 enhances and is a real alternative for elemental enhances. Provided you use 8 or less SP (which only she herself, Hisame ex and Sumomo's first ex usage can do)

She's really strong, considering she can also add 30% weakness damage (stacks with mind eye).

>>1614363 (OP)
Still on chapter 1 but I'm having fun

>see all this discussion about party autism.
>I just put a bunch of girls I like with dark attacks and called it a day.
What am I missing by not autistically minmaxing?

>>1734739
It's just easier. There's a simple priority. Buff multihuts, minds eye, crit + crit dmg, elemental buffs and debuffs. There should be 2-3 buffers that are permanent fixtures in most teams. It's why everyone rolled yingxia and rerolled for seika2, they're your human rights. It doesn't really matter much if u can do anachronu already. It's mostly for high difficulty score attack.

I love this game.

So where do you get these? Only from the premium monthly mission pack?

I guess the reason why we haven't gotten any sprite spoilers recently was because of the snap events...

>Play side event.
>Cry like a bitch.
>Repeat.
So it's like this huh?

MEGA anon pls tell me about sprites update of latest patch

wtf is wrong with this girl?

>>1615153
I mean when characters are able to have meaningful relationships and aren't just "we gotta suck off the self-insert MC because this is a waifu simulator", dialogue tends to be better

God damn the /u/ thread is cancer. I'm a yurifag too but everything is "you must be a waifufag" over there over every little thing. At this point I think I'd rather deal with the waifufags of a blatant yuri game. Still don't understand how or why that's a thing

>>1758768
Be like me, I'd love to be balls deep on Yukkie but I really enjoy her gayness for/with Ruka as well.
