Pull Yuuka if you want a braindead easy time with Goz. Pull Mari if you don't already have Koharu or Kokona. Having at least two of the three I think is a must in my opinion, long term. With having a free UE 50 student dropped into your lap, why the hell not have the free mystic damage dealer? I notice a lot of players are missing out on in their roster.
@@luthfimisbah5103 Then, go for what you want. At least Himari would be good for a lot of stages. Do note that Himari might spook you since she is permanent.
Indeed. Himari is the only real "toss up" if you have no other choice, since she's permanent... however. Himari will be Ako all over again. She's been used in pretty much EVERY raid since release over in JP several months back. So hopefully you can afford to pull her banner.
I’m hoping to get both, since: • For Yuuka, aside from being good Meta, she’s 100 kg of pure waifu material. • For Mari, not a dealbreaker, but I still have no Striker healer so she’d be helpful.
Yeah, I'll at least chase after Yuuka and her 100kg thighs. It's a useful skill set and honestly I'm looking forward to her bond stories. I've got enough that if needed can pity her and Himari while still having time to save up enough for the Princess. So it should work out. But hopefully Yuuka will be sweet.
Same plan here as a new player who started by rerolling accounts for S.Hoshino. Sitting on 55k, enough to spark S.Yuuka(hopefully S.Mari too), and still get Himari and Mika. I'll have to miss Fuuka but it is what it is.
As a note - in the 2nd shop, there's no reason to buy the purple Enhancement Orbs over anything else. The amount of XP/gearXP you get from higher tiers of orbs or activity reports isn't more 'cost effective' than just buying the grey ones. So basically, skip ALL activity reports&orbs, unless you need them - in that case just buy whichever you want, i prefer to buy the smaller ones first to make number go up more lol
@@dekirianto5853 Global had selector ticket before, idk why exactly, cause the schedule is messed up with content acceleration. You could've bought selector ticket and choose a student from the pool to get. Next selector will 100% have Himari, but idk when we will get it.
Hope, I can get at least one of them in roll so I can spark another. Both of them are crucial in late-game content T.Yuuka will make Goz insane nightmare trip become easier. T.Mari become more significant with release of Hiero torment.(actually all healers are, lol) She's probably only healer who can keep the whole team alive by herself(with Ako). This make hypercarry comp available for Toki. But the most important thing is both are top tier WAIFU
Maybe your luck would be better than mine. I went 200 pulls and not a single Yuuka or Mari and I had to use my spark. Rip. I hope your luck is better than mine.
Got T.Yuuka on first ten pulls last time I didn’t know it yet since I was a beginner but she absolutely changed my life, I’m really glad I got her and she made my life 999 times easier since u don’t rlly need a healer anymore when u have her. MUST PULL
As someone who has both: Yuuka: Pretty much essential for Goz Insane and useful elsewhere as well; reposition + shield can help you survive a lot of boss or challenge stage mechanics. Not a must-have but definitely a safe choice. Mari: Hieronymus is basically her only use, and even then the very limited range on her heal means you have to build your team comp in a way that causes her to go to the correct position. Would only recommend if you want to do Hieronymus Torment (Kokona is better for Insane) or if simp.
Thank you for the summary, I sparked yuuka but still consider to roll Mari since I have no striker healer. Though my pyroxene just around 40k, I'm afraid I cant roll himari, ny fuuka, and Mika. After reading ur comment, my last decision is to skip Mari lol, I hope I wont regret it
if u have kokonut u can likely skip mari, mari technically does heal more for hiero raid but she has to be within specific range for healing, kokonut just anywhere, although if u are planning for the future says hiero torment, u do want mari as well, as for yuuka, yea must get, sshizuko's spot on team would be better off be filled with some1 else
i still remember this is my 1st event in JP after I start with my account has Hina/Hibiki from banner. Back then I really didn't know anything and just play for fun, not even know or read wiki about skill, just gamer instinct carry me through event... Gotta say newbie luck is insane, I didn't clear story much and didn't have many pyrox but still got both of them in 1 multi 10x, surprised me a lot and I still use them now
Man, There is no need to farm for her eleph. the gave us all the eleph and max her already in a minute after launch... It's so much better than we expected. ❤❤❤
I have Summer Shizuko maxed and Koharu, I'll probably skip them both cause the bunnies and Noa took me to pity which sucked. I'll try getting them next year.
I'm planning to get Yuuka and Mari but after seeing this video, I think I can drop Mari. Although that will change if I don't have to spark for Yuuka. I already have Kokonuts but she's still at 3* oof
His hasumi works very well because in Japan the event with the elphs had an error, here they are going to give us a nerf because they have already fixed the error here and that is unfair
We can get her max hasumi already from your mailbox once you got one copy of her ftom the event. The elphs you can get is enough to max her to 5 star and 3 star for her weapon
Guys i need help, Im bad at math so if i spend 24k pyroxenes in this patch would i still be able to save for Mika? I want sport mari and sport yuuka :')
You only have chance to go for 1 full pity. You’d need to at least have 48K pyros to be super safe. Since you seem to want both T.Mari & T.Yuuka…if you don’t get both of them within 12K pyros….(that’s 100 pulls) you are better off stopping at that point. Mika’s banner is likely coming around at the earliest would be July or at the latest which is August. Takes a full 2 months to get 24K pyros if I’m not mistaken….plus we have banners like Himari, and NY Fuuka afterwards whose a pretty good substitute for those that don’t have U.I or Ako.
@@Dissapointed_Aether best of luck. Reminder We will be getting a free 10 pull ticket so who knows how lucky you could get. I’d also consider perhaps doing a couple of 1x pulls (5 single pulls max…) the odds are you’d be surprise to get a pick up bannered spook from just 1x pulls. I managed to get O.Chinatsu, & B.Neru by dropping in a couple of 1x during their respective Pick up banners.
Did they already told us whether they'll give the "free T. Hasumi" in Global? Because that was a compensation for a pretty big error in JP and NOT the event rewards.
They only said plenty of eleph. Leaves some room for doubt about being able to max her immediately, and only giving enough to 5 stars or something. If they do give her away fully maxed though, then that’s great
You should never use your hard earned pyro for AP. In this case you can if you are VERY desperate for more credits otherwise its not worth it. Getting all the AP potions daily from the pvp store is ample enough.
Do u think i should skip this and go for koharu later? I just started for a while and dont have good healer atm, kinda planning to get himari later on too
I'm only like lvl 41, so idk who's top tier or why I should save for Himari specifically, but I'll end up probably going with Yuuka just because I like her 😂
For one, Himari is a support buffer who can buff up to or over (cant rmb the exact numbers) 100% of the target unit's ATK, among the other things she also do via her passives. Can't go wrong with sports Yuuka though. Since as someone with a Lv.76 account who's been playing since last December, based on experience & looking around most f2p/low spending players like me will be stuck in a long while in Hardcore Raids before making it to even just Extremes, which when it comes to global is a good place anyway (participate in hardcore & borrow your club's best DPS unit, and you'll likely end up around 20K-ish ranking & placing in gold, netting you 1000 pyrox per raid, plus extras from raid point collection). If you don't have S.Shizuko, Sports Yuuka would probably be the better pick for you anyway since she's a repositioner/tanker/shielder all in one & is very valuable for Goz raids, which even at just Hardcore you'd need especially the full-team repositioning ability (or even just herself if need be) for. Shiro Kuro is also another raid where a unit like that'd be needed. Himari & Ako on the other hand are mostly for pushing the damage output ceiling, which is crucial for Extreme & Insane. Not having them won't really affect your Hardcore runs tbh. To give you an idea, with a decently built team, Hardcore runs are doable in just one cycle with Lv.60-70 units with T5 gears. So yeah, Himari & Ako are great but are obtainable in any period. Sports Yuuka on the other hand, if you skip her you'll have to wait for her rerun, which we won't know when we'd get. I'm personally skipping Yuuka unfortunately, much as I'd love to get her since I already have S.Shizuko & aiming to get Himari, NY Fuuka & Mika (got Ako in only 30 pulls recently too so I can focus my pyrox on these 3). Hopefully I'd have enough for Mine as well who is neither meta or limited, but I'd really love to have.
@@Don_Akane89 Wow, thanks for the in-depth breakdown! I do have S.Shizuko, but have yet to level her up much (she's at 2*). Would aiming for Track Yuuka be needed if I have her then? I also have Ako, so would that mean I'm good to skip Himari? I'm a f2p/low-spender player, so I don't have many pulls to work with atm (I can thank the bunny banner for that one and I didn't pull anyone I wanted, specifically Neru)
@@mrblazeapound7856 You're welcome! I can't say for sure since it's Goz's debut in global, but based on the average difficulty on Hardcore raids, I don't suppose T.Yuuka is a must if you already have S.Shizuko, only that you have to build her for tankier shields. Just level her up sufficiently & at least level up her gear that directly correlates with her shield strength (I believe it's based on her heal stat) & you should be good to go, even if she's only 2*. Extreme & Insane raids are different stories though. For those you might not just need only T.Yuuka, but both her & S.Shizuko. You'd also only need both for Hardcore if you can't finish it in a single run. And I get you, I only subbed to the bimonthly pack twice myself before returning to f2p since imo its too expensive for too little gain, and you already get a lot from just playing anyway. And to obtain decent amount of additional pyrox via paying, it's gotten too expensive for me already. That said, on one hand it's excellent that you already have Ako. If you're not a meta-chaser and/or care about raid rating, feel free to skip Himari and hope you get her off-rate since she's not limited, but do be aware: 1) that might take forever, or you might never get her off-rate even 2) Ako & Himari are the game's best buffers so far. Ako buffs the most Crit rate & Crit damage, while Himari buffs the most ATK. And both are staple & used together for nearly every raid, every content. Kotama also buffs ATK, but nowhere as much as Himari (iirc Kotama only does 1/3 of Himari's). But yeah, she's an ok replacement if you can't/won't pull for Himari. Which I'd recommend against pulling for any unit if you have less than 24K pyrox anyway since pity points don't carry over between banners. Also, on another note it's worth noting for Goz you'd need a unit with a 'focus assault' ability (basically marking the target so all units focus their attack on it). Currently, only S.Izuna & Noa has this ability on their EX skill. While you can borrow them from your club if they're shared, it's also something to consider that you can only borrow only one unit, and have to make do with what you own for everything else.
@Peakkiwi Thanks again for the info! After considering everything you've said, I'm probably just gonna save my pyrox for someone else, like Hina (I love her design) or New Year Aru (I want all the Aru's that are available). While I do put some importance on the meta, I'm not necessarily chasing down meta units.
@@mrblazeapound7856 thats probably the wiser move. Personally, i only started with shun & tsubaki for my initial roll and though my account had a bit of difficulty starting out, i still make it out fine into endgame now (cleared all normal stages on 3* and almost done with hard stages as well). I also rolled for and had to spark Hina, and despite not being meta, shes actually pretty good especially if you have ui/ny fuuka which can cut her skill cost by half. Even better if you have s.hoshino as well to boost her. The good thing about BA is that even the non-meta units are still strong and can be pretty competitive themselves. This especially if theyre units you can farm elephs for (e.g. serika, akari, shiroko, mutsuki, tsubaki, haruna, aru, etc.) Since you can max out their elephs just by farming unlike units whose elephs arent farmable in hard stages, especially those limited units. That said, im not a big hoshino fan, especially not her swimsuit version, which is very useful though. And while i also like izuna, I prefer her normal version more than her swimsuit one, but is still fine I guess. On the other, I do like both Himari & Fuuka so saving for them is a no brainer. However, I actually dont rly like Mika as a character, and her EX basically being just Azusa's & Saori's but better is pretty ehh to me. Her banner does have increased drop rate though, which i'd hate to say, is hard to pass. All that said, I'd love to get Aru as well, especially her NY version. After Mika, like you, think I'll mostly just pull for whoever i like since meta is mostly only for raids anyway. Hopefully i could snag a Mine by then too.
extra eleph aint worthless for T.HAsumi - I think we are about to go 4 star then 5star weapons and we will need 240 and 300 (total 540) extra eleph so yeah.
i doubt we will get a full UE50 tracksuit hasumi for free since it only happened after a mishap within the event in JP. UPDATE: they still gave it in global. Nice!
@@ChaosRune yea they talked about it in the latest global live stream: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fl98XQxj1Ro.html time stamp is at 49:51
I stock over 50k pyros for this event if I can get them in less then 1 pity I will pull for Himari if not I will have to skip her for the next limited character. My policy Blue Archive is to pull on limited banners only. My only exceptions are Cherino, Rabbit Squad, Himari and Fox Platoon.
@@theSato "The Soldier Pre-Conditioning Course (SPC) boosts the overall physical fitness of recruits, giving them some protection from subsequent injury in training —and greater confidence in their physical abilities. Despite having passed the Physical Selection Standards For Recruits(PSS(R)), during such collective training the least fit recruits have to work relatively harder and are more prone totraining-induced overuse injuries. The three-week SPC has been named Fox Platoon, after Captain Jim Fox who won a gold medal in the modern pentathlon at the 1976 Olympic Games. His career was supported and nurtured by the Army." So I guess there you go :)
Will allot 50 pulls for TYuuka since the spark has to be set for Himari. NYHaruna and Mika are still my goals (hopefully I pull through for NY Fuuka). As someone who has UE40 Koharu (who kept on haunting me), and a lucky Kokona 😭😭, I have no immediate reason to get TMari unless TYuuka comes home early.
T.Yuuka being a tank with repositioning skill, s.shizuko is a support special. You’d free up a slot for another support special like Himari+Ako or kotama etc etc. if you have T.Yuuka.
I have 59k pyrox+some Tickets so Yuuka & Himari are mine for sure, i just hope they dont to be sparked so i can save enough for N.Fuuka/Mine/Mika anda so on 🤑
It wasn't a nerf. It was supposed to be the "nerfed" version in the first place. The one we get before the nerf was the "beta" version for calculation purpose. Someone messed up and forgot to changed it to the live version.
just borrow someone else's S.Hoshino for that one hyper-specific situation and the problem is solved, friend. Or play with 2% less efficiency for a single raid. Or use a better strat (I forget what it was, but the S.Hoshino based strat is outdone by a different one.) The "dont max S.Hoshino or you're bricked" thing is so overblown and unimportant.
@@billionaeris1183 Because Attack buffs, a bit of shield, and Crit Damage and Cost Reduction EX skill is a pretty versatile combination for a Special Support.
Depending how many Pyros do you have currently? If you have 24K pyros then you’d be fine to pull for just Track Yuuka. Since Track Yuuka, as the video says, she’s mainly gonna find uses for Raids revolving around Shiro/Kuro & GOZ. General uses she’s probably not gonna be needed for completing main campaign content. The game gives you enough viable students to work with to get through the campaign. If you don’t have enough pyros, then it’s probably best to skip these limited banners and just save up for Either Himari’s banner which is around in May or keep saving as much as you can for the Mika Banner. Mika’s banner is a fest banner, similar to the Summer Hoshino banner that passed, you’ll have a 6% in being able to recruit lots of 3* students as well as pick up previous Fest exclusive limited students like Wakamo & Summer Hoshino.
@@normalhuman5647 ah well. At least everyone gets a free 10x ticket to use after the maintenance. So, best of luck. Definitely should try to progress through the main campaign for those easy pyros. You’ll need as much as you can get with your current students so that you can pull for Mika. That banner will definitely help newbie accounts gain lots of 3* opportunities, IF lucky of course.
All events are meant for all players to enjoy. Late stage missions are meant for the high level players. The tip for lower level players is to go as far as you can on the event missions and then get all the important items in the store to help you level up faster.
