irinya's notes: Kiri Teambuilding in February C10

February 15, 2018

Introduction
As with last time, here's a guide on how to build Kiri for this month's Challenge 10 with a very gentle REM requirement aside from Kiri herself. I've presented a few different options to hopefully make the build accessible to as many players as possible. As such, these builds do not require you to own Zeus Verse. In the same vein, this guide assumes that you do not have the unbindable leader badge.

I do actually think that Kiri is one of the better ways to approach this month's final Challenge. Even for players who do have the tools in their box to take down the diversity of mechanics this dungeon has to offer, clearing with Kiri is likely to be at least as reliable (if not more). Further, contrary to some of the horror stories you might have heard about cheese, this clear should take no more than 20-25 minutes total even if you zone out a bit, as you are simply making 1c without any further thought on the vast majority of your turns.

Because I'm only covering one dungeon this time, instead of three, I'll also take this opportunity to go into build options in more depth and detail, and it's thus my hope that this writeup will outline the thought process behind sub selections and cheese teambuilding better than the previous one did, and in doing so be more informative to players as well.

Analysis: New Year's Gacha

February 13, 2018


Introduction
I'm hesitant to label this one as an "in-depth" analysis, since a lot of these cards don't really have anything interesting to go in-depth about.

Traditionally one of the most trashy seasonal gachas in the game, NY comes back this year with a smattering of new content. Unfortunately, this fails to fix the REM's main problem: almost all the reasonably good pulls are locked behind higher rarities and poor rates. There are only five rolls below the 6* rarity (none of which are especially phenomenal), but together they add up to a staggering 73% pull rate. There's not too much else to say from a gameplay perspective; the NY REM is suuuuuper dated and simply isn't remarkable or worthwhile for most players.

It's disappointing that the rates remain so awful even after three silvers were stripped and tossed into the event dungeon as invades. In case you've missed the message thus far, probably don't roll this thing.
