The new chapter is today right? I actually liked the first one, Vampire's touch was decent too.

The tournament is pretty weak. Was looking forward to having something to sink my teeth into tonight, but I'll just finish Baiken's story and the tournament and not touch it again until Dizzy.
I've never really been into farming the challenges, but we'll see how this one is. At least get it done on Hell for the Gold Transmit stone.
The challenge artifact looks like a straight upgrade of Exorcists Tonfa, probably worth farming enough to max LB it.
Yeah, if I can't auto it on Hell I'm probably not going to auto it on normal for a 20% chance to drop at the stamina costs these things run at. I'll get more bang for my buck in stamina right now running Wyvern. Especially since I'm gold broke.
an AoE PvP unit can make great work. Though Kal'Adra still best.
Nvm it was literally the next quest.

Naw. Baiken is awesome. She's putting in work in arena too.
Maybe if they ever do it again we could get Ino, ky and another.
We really should have gotten I-No and Baiken.
Fixed that for you :)
Quite honestly this blows. No gear, glorified exchange shop, junkyard dog doesn't give a boost to tournament currency.
Even the challenge was super easy on hell. No daily event either? Didn't get to finish today's.
Hard better have some gear rewards, but based on this bracket only having 4 of Sol's epic catalyst I'm guessing Hard will have the same.
At least this Hell side story mission is easy and fast. Running Destina to get Friendship Level 10, Baiken to carry, and two fodder.

The only thing I can think of them doing is extending her banner by a week if they decide to do buffs. So Dizzy and Baiken would both be up at the same time. Which honestly isn't that bad of a thing since we'd know Dizzy's skill set and if you needed to decide on one you'd have time to do so.
Tournament grind is even more miserable than the record grind. I don't think this is doable for a new player who can't do Hard or Hell difficulty. Christ.
These events are just leaf sinks. That is to say, they suck. Particularly this second week's one. Yuck.
Yeah this is miserable. From the looks of it you don't need to clear the tournament board at least. You just need to make a line to the end. It seems to be 50, 300, 1000 then the final vs Sol which I'm not sure how much it costs to enter. A really dumb system they have here. :(
Edit. And a hard mode for the entire tournament? So we get to grind it all again and now possibly be gated if the AI team is too strong any way? Gross.

I've had a lot of level ups and stamina pots in my inbox so I'm just aiming to clear as much of the shop as possible. I do want to limit break the artifact as well. Still 3 weeks left so plenty of time.
Does friendship level do anything outside faces and voicelines?
Yeah, this event feels super grindy. More so than anything else so far - well, except grinding for gear I guess.
It's nice that they're doling out leaves through the events more than normal, but the collab certainly sucks them in at a more rapid pace as well just to make sure that you don't get a chance to stock up.

Yeah. I just finished the second fight and I'm back down to like 83 entry tickets. And I apparently need 3500 more total in order to do fight 3 and then get to Sol.
At 18 or 19 tickets a run of Normal, it's functionally impossible for me to get enough to get Sol. I think this might be where I get off the game - the grinding for event currency is just too damn much, and they do absolutely nothing to make it palatable for people who can't steamroll Hard or Hell difficulties.
The event is unnecessarily grindy. I feel like generally the substory is up for two weeks as the main grind where the second week is generally something smaller like the challenge quest. The collab has even more stuff in the store the first week and the second week also has a substantial grind. Since it's a collab I didn't expect the grind to be so imposing to new players; but I guess their intent is having Sol 6*-able through dupes as something easily achievable for long time players and new players to possibly pull it off but at least get one or more copies. I don't think that was really the best way to go about it though as I can see it being a turn off.
The event nodes are easier than they usually are and drop epic catalysts, not sure I get the complaints. Sure Sol costs a lot but he's a really good 5*, and if you don't want to grind you get a copy from the story at the end anyways. I do think getting him to 6* from the free copies is a good idea for new players though. Freed up 2 spots on my list - if you need help add Mupod7, I have multiple characters up that have no trouble in the 30 energy node. Just tested my Baiken and she did it on auto very quickly with an ungeared healer and 2 fodder + friend unit.

the game is entirely built on being a grindfest. Its not like this grind is minor walking through Hell getting 69 currency a run. So if the grind isnt palatable to you now it doesnt really ever change.
69 is still way better than the 19 I get a run now. That's the problem, they expect a herculean effort out of the player.
At least in FFBE when you have event units you get a reasonable amount of bonus currency. I have Junkyard Dog AND Torn Sleeve and on Normal I get less than 20 entry tickets a run, and I need 5600 to get to Sol. It expects me to run this event nearly three hundred times in two weeks just to get a new character?
he only costs 2500 to get from the week 1 shop?
But either way this game is a grind. That never changes, you are either grinding catalysts, wyvern 11, or events.
You don't need 5600 to get Sol.
You don't even have to grind the event AT ALL to get Sol.
You just need to clear each stage once. That's it. That's all. I don't know why you'd put yourself through this as a new player. There are way better places to focus your energy and time.

It does.
Edit:
People who join for the collab will not surprisingly target the collab character. Getting all the copies will give you a strong 6* character. It may not be the most efficient thing for a new player to increase in power but it shouldn't surprise anyone that they might target such a thing and find it a slog.
If you manage to get Sol through the exchange shop (2500 discs) I would stop there. That is probably the single most worthwhile item from the event currently and imo easier to get than the tournament most likely.
Early on I did minimal event grinding, it was simply impractical and I focused on story or hunts/altars trying to powerup my heroes. I only played through the event story scenes and grabbed a few items off the shops. Even being able to grind hell difficulty doesn't make these events fun. I wouldn't stress over the events, there has been quite a lot of complaints about them from what I can see so I can only imagine it is much worse for beginners.
I thought the clear reward was the artefact?
But yes, once you have Sol I would invest time elsewhere to power up the team or earn whatever you need. Grinding is still the main point of the game but elsewhere doesn't feel as hollow as the event imo.
Nope, the clear reward is Sol. The reputation reward (one of the higher ones) is the artifact, but just clearing every stage rewards Sol.
Even for Epic 7 the event feels a bit grindy. The tournament is a glorified event shop but with higher prices than normal. If you aren't lucky enough to have gotten Torn Sleeve it's around 88 runs on hell to buy it out, which is 2640 stamina. Which is certainly doable if time consuming for long time players, but it just feels tuned a bit too much towards the grind this time.
Right, but you have to wait until the very end of the event to be able to do that because of the way they broke up the story chapters. I don't really have anything else TO do right now.
What turns me off is that it is such a massive stamina sink. I can't do anything else besides grind the collab this entire month because I don't have the stamina let alone time to do anything else. So no progressing gear, no grinding out the epic catalysts I need, etc.
Normally with side stories you can get the catalysts in a day or two with some banked stamina refreshes and then move on to playing the rest of the game for the rest of the two weeks. This is just an onslaught of collab grinding, which frankly grinding the same level over and over again isn't as fun as dabbling in Altars, Hunts, World, etc.
You don't need to grind out all the shops, but it's a gacha game, we're all going to do it if they give us the option.
The disappointment is more in that the Tournament wasn't something new and interesting. Maybe Hard mode will be an actual challenge and fun, but as of now it's hitting auto-battle and collecting my stuffs. I was maybe expecting something a little more with it being hyped up in Sol's story and in the lead up to the Collab.

Ive been autoing hell easily on this Challenge...but geez im struggling with the drops. I got an artifact on the first hell clear, and the quest one. In 20+ total runs now thats it.
Hey guys I have a question about speciality change, I have a Hazel that I promoted to 4* using 3 other Hazel's, so she has her memory imprint unlocked.
If I got her to level 50 and unlocked her Specialty Change would the memory imprint carry over to her form or does that new form get wiped and start fresh?
I think I have enough dupes to get her to SSS imprint or close if it DOES carry over

Memory imprint carries over, so you don't need to worry. Awakenings also carry over.
Excellent thanks guys, I'm still really far off getting to the point I can do my first specialty change so I wasnt sure how it worked
