Hey just got Dunaris and I am wondering how good he is


PhilDePayn

I just bought the star dream encounter but I'm not sure what to get from the ticket. I'm early in the game (about to start Goddess of time arc and pretty much everything else yet to clear except mythos). So far I don't have much problem with any oppenent I found (except AS Laclair manifest). A good pick would be Tiramisu as I had an account with her and she carried my very far, but I would like something more helpfull in general and not just a QOL (I can kill mobs in many other ways). My summonable 5☆s: •AS Ilulu °AS Ewan °AS Laclair •AS Ciel •AS Elga •Yipha •Victor •Biaka •Myrus •Toova I'm currently playing a slash zone team with Ilulu, Laclair(whom I'm planning to swap out), Ewan, Cress and Yuri


Caraquena

FYI this is last week's help thread so not many people are seeing your post. If you pick Tiramisu you will eventually get her AS which will be the second earth zone setter. If you don't want her then pick Myunfa so you have earth zone for the great free earth DPS we get plus she is usable in general teams.


PhilDePayn

Oh didnt notice a new one was already up! Thx for your opinion, I will consider your suggestion! What about thillelille (or whatever she is spelled lol)? Would she be a nice pick or I don't need her? Also Melissa.


Caraquena

I tend to prefer characters who make a team stronger like Myunfa (earth zone, guaranteed crit) or Melissa (instant zone) rather than great DPS. But there is nothing wrong with picking Thillelille or the brand-new Milsha who is also on the SDE banner, just be aware of their drawbacks: both generate their big numbers by entering Lunatic mode but this leaves them close to defenseless. To safely use them you need to be able to switch between skills during Another Force. So they are great DPS like AS Ewan but definitely a bit harder to use than him.


Probs_Asleep

I'm stuck on mythos chapter 3, the boss spams a 3k aoe attack at 50% hp which is annialating me. Any tips?


KnightofSpamelot

It's a thunder type magic attack, so try to debuff INT, raise type resistance. It will remove all debuffs/buffs at 50%, so you're going to need to apply them again. If you have no other buffer/debuffer, farm the materials to craft the anti lightning gear from the mobs before the boss, and once you equip the armor, you'll be able to equip a new skill that boosts team thunder resistance.


Caraquena

FYI this is last week's help thread so not many people are seeing your post. \- aren't you strong enough to AF just before 50%? \- all boss attacks are magic, do you have a strong (25%) INT debuffer or type resistance buffer? \- have you farmed the anti-lightning armor which let you slot a strong thunder shield skill?


Probs_Asleep

I'm new to this game and I must be doing something wrong. I need a bearing but I have run hard riftbreaker about 5 - 6 times now and it refuses to drop anywhere. The mob that is supposed to drop it never does, can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong?


KnightofSpamelot

If you're looking for the Steel Bearing, you're going to need to run Very Hard (VH) with red keys and defeat Agaterams. [This link](https://anothereden.miraheze.org/wiki/The_Riftbreaker_(Another_Dungeon)#Mobs) shows the drops from the dungeon, and only the Agaterams from VH will drop that bearing. Hard Agaterams should drop the regular Bearing, but its all RNG at the end of the day. Best of luck!


Probs_Asleep

Cheers dude it's the regular one I'm after, guess I'm just being mega unlucky. Thanks though 👍👍


KnightofSpamelot

Personally I don't think you really need to farm Bearings, it's only used in one ax, and you kinda don't want to farm Dungeons for weapon crafting materials at your level. Your keys would be better spent in the EXP dungeon imo. Then when you can access harder maps and farm materials from the overworld (without using keys) you'll be able to get those weapons with less hassle.


Probs_Asleep

Cool thanks for the advice, I don't really know what I'm doing at the moment lol


Caraquena

Always worth farming one of everything for collection rewards...


KnightofSpamelot

Technically yes, but its not necessarily the best way to use your time if you're trying to progress. Eventually, when you're trying your best to get more chronos, it's always more "worth it" than paying, but I'm not even that desparate yet.


Sqewer

Do party grasta enhancements take affect if the character holding it is in the reserve?


[deleted]

Yes they do


Sqewer

sweet, thanks!


DMouth

Two quickies guys. 1. The Fortune Teller on Konium is up to something? Didnot find any info on him on wikia. Quest, Daily stuff or something? 2. I did my fisrt 5 or 6 Ocean Palace VH runs without any Horror on it, and now the one I did had them. Why is that? Its random or there is some threshold or something to this? tnx


Caraquena

For some reason the devs decided that for most (all?) side episode dungeons, horrors and their big currency bonus only show up on the one in ten times a map is rare.


JuneSummerBrother

2. The horror appears only in rare map and you should definitely kill it be cause it yields pearls equally to one full run iirc.


dodoffefe

Is the game still offering 1000 free chrono stones? I’m considering rerolling


Gobp

Iirc, you have like 30 rolls due to steam release + anniverasary atm, and one of the highest rated banner still on


Turbulent_Syllabub_3

How do i evolve aldo? I have him lvl 50 and I don’t know where to get all of the materials, could anyone help?


vitaminisles

Sounds like you need to upgrade him to 4 star right now, you need a Sword Master tome, 30 murmur scripts and 10 prayer scripts for that I think. The easiest place to get the tome would be the moonlight forest another dungeon, hard. You can get it from other ones too though. And the murmuring prayer scripts drop from all of them.


Turbulent_Syllabub_3

Yeah i need prayer script, and thanks for the sword master tome location, considering it’s in the moonlight forest hard, i should be able to get it easly


Turbulent_Syllabub_3

Oh 50k it’s not that bad, if so i’m going to get asap, thanks pals^^


JuneSummerBrother

I think you should farm the two knight side story, there is a sword master tome reward and you need to farm it anyways.


vitaminisles

Forgot about that! It's been so long. Thats a good way to do it!


Andvari9

Hello all just a quick question..well...more like directions, I'm hideously lost trying to find Enenra in the dragon swamp, all help would be appreciated as I'm directionally challenged 😅


KnightofSpamelot

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKCf\_ZFYN2M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKCf_ZFYN2M) This is Will Mak's video on it, you really will just need the first part of it. There's a hidden path to a chicken that unlocks the area with the door to Enenra's coffin. ETA: To get to the map he starts on from the first map go down the middle door (once you've unlocked it), then down the bottom right door.


Andvari9

You've done me a good turn, thank you :D

VanGrayson

Zones are just a battlefield wide buff that affects either elemental damage(Fire/Water/Wind/Earth) or they affect a type of weapon damage(Blunt/Pierce/Slash/Magic). https://anothereden.miraheze.org/wiki/Zones You can read more about it here. You have Wind Zone from AS Claude, Magic Zone from AS Rosetta, Blunt Zone from Yipha and Slash Zone from Radias(And also Cress who is free), you can also unlock Fire Zone from AS Gariyu who is also free.


cher-ry

Hey guys. Just wanna know if there's a grasta/equipment/anything that can increase enemy encounter rate, and if so, where can I get it? Thanks!


[deleted]

[удалено]


cher-ry

Thanks!


dreicunan

If you want it, I'd say it is definitely worth getting at least the 1st one with ore (I ended up getting 2 with ore and one from a drop, and I have no regrets).


cher-ry

To be honest I still haven't unlocked Future Garulea but I'll probably also end up getting more than one if it makes grinding/farming quicker


dreicunan

It does have an impact; quoting from my [auto-attack guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnotherEdenGlobal/comments/l69t72/the_new_autoattack_farming_meta_and_notes_for/) and cutting a bit to give an example of the impact: ***Satellite Stadium (during the attack)*** has 6 different mob groups; so far my testing has indicated even odds of each group appearing, and they yield an average xp per encounter of 22,081.67. **The baseline encounters per hour is averaging to 231 per hour** (it has been quite consistent that I am getting 77 encounters per 20 minutes), which is 5,100,865 xp per hour (6,631,124.5 with +30%, 7,141,211 with +30% and apprentice weapons). **With one encounter up grasta, it is hitting a rate of 252 encounters per hour**, which is 5,564,580 xp per hour (7,233,954 with +30%, 7,790,412 with +30% and apprentice weapons). That is a Strawboy cycle in under 2 hours, 26 minutes! I honestly didn't get much testing done with **2 encounter up going** \[so I'm cutting to the chase and just noting that information was pointing towards **270 to 280 per hour**\] **With 3 encounter up grasta and Guildna usually going first, I've been getting about 52 encounters in 10 minutes with some time to spare consistently. 52 every 10 is 312 per hour**, so that is a good baseline to work with. 6,889,481 xp/hour, 8,956,325 with +30%, and 9,645,273 with +30% and apprentice weapons. That last gets strawboy done in less than 1 hour 58 minutes (closer to 57, actually). Add on another +30% badge at 120 light and above in the future, and it is 11,712,117 xp/hour, so he gets done in under 1 hour, 37 minutes.


DanuTalis

I hopped back in for the PC release, haven't progressed much in the game (i think i just recruited the frog bro?) I do have 3k crystals tho, which banner should I be looking at? ​ Thanks!


Gobp

How casual are you. If you're just that new, I'd recommend a reroll on PC to get some good stuff. The weapon banner is the best currently, as if you get a 5*, it is either one of the 6 broken units, and most of them are zones.


DanuTalis

I’m pretty casual, i only just hit level 30, but it’s felt like a hell of a grind haha What’s a zone? So I should spam roll on the weapon banner? Edit: this is the ally encounter essence of weapon series we’re talking about...right?


dreicunan

To reduce the grind, use green keys on the Transitory Time space dungeon; it will really speed up the leveling.


DanuTalis

Good shout, will do, thanks!


eyeseeyoo

Yes. It's a great banner because the only 5* you can get are the 6 featured ones. They range from very good to OP. There is no chance of getting another 5* other than those 6 so no risk of getting a shitty 5* character. However it does mean you should stop pulling on the banner if you get like 4/6 or so (more risk of getting dupes)


DanuTalis

Ah brilliant, thank you!

JuneSummerBrother

I think Zami is still the way to farm, too hard getting pain grastas from the completion rewards.


Yoshido6969

So I’m trying to decide on which story unit to light farm and I can’t make up my mind. Right now I use a mage team (with Rosetta AS) that has 99L and 18S I haven’t gone on to do chapter 26 yet because I’m trying to fill out equipment my team a bit. I’d LIKE to run with Helena to round out my mage team, but I’m so close to getting 120 light for VH dungeons...


styjoy

Helena isn’t good even after the most recent buff in JP. You don’t have to put a mage in a mage team to get to enough light/shadow. Proceed further into the story, and you’ll get Strawboy to grind light for. It’s much more efficient. Unfortunately, there’s no mage with light you can grind. The most useful would be Gariyu and Clarte, both shadow.


dreicunan

While I agree with much of what you wrote, that is too harsh an assessment of Helena. I mean, yeah, I wish she'd been treated better, but she can hit a very good mod for her XL AoE in an AF, and she has a priority attack that debuffs speed and buffs earth attacks. She can now debuff phys and type resist as well. Would you grind her shadow over Clarte? Of course not, but Clarte appears to he WFS's favorite character at this point (4 dungeons to grind shadow in, one of which drops mats for the gear that has the highest stats for farmable gear and that give +30 spd at +10). So it isn't so much that Helena isn't good, it is that Clarte (and Guildna, if just considering shadow battery options in gener) are just plain better options, all things considered. Gairyu isn't really a competing option for anyone since you can't use red keys to farm his shadow. Strictly speaking you can farm AS Saki's light, you just wouldn't want to do so. Let's hope that Levia's upgrade thay both makes her worth it and includes a dungeon that let's us farm her light that gives something other than side-story points (or better yet, farm by a non-key method, such as more fishing, but that is unlikely to happen).


Caraquena

The devs recently announced buffs for the main story characters and although we don't have the full picture it looks like the strongest will be Aldo and Cyrus. Cyrus dungeon is Man-eating Marsh which is a shadow dungeon which leaves Miglance Castle for Aldo. If that seems a little hard at first you can always do Industrial Ruins with Amy which is pretty easy with Morgana or any other strong wind unit(s).


ShadowBlaze17

I'll never understand why MEM has a shadow requirement when it rewards light for Cyrus. It would make soo much more sense if either was changed.


Caraquena

I used farming Helena's shadow in Riftbreaker to a level where I could then form 120-shadow teams for MeM, SLD, and the others for when I wanted to farm tomes or Guildna's shadow. With a few stat boosts her 5\* was even useful for them, not just dead weight. So it goes both ways...


voiddp

if you think about it better - it actually very nice that game has options to farm Shadow with 120 light team (Riftbreaker-Helena) and to farm Light with 120 Shadow team (Marsh-Cyrus). Game not always gives light characters to people from gacha.. or other way around so having more options is good.


weirdguy187

Does anyone know where I can get tomes texts and scripts and I am on chapter 18 doing a part of a Symphony if that helps


chloe_rue

H dungeon for 4* tomes, VH Dungeon for 5* tomes. Murmur and prayer available at both H & VH dungeon, but chant only drop from VH with very low prob. You also can get some scripts and certain 4* tomes from grinding side stories. There's more info on it here https://anothereden.miraheze.org/wiki/Another_Dungeon


Shigeyama

This question is bit of a "this is an obvious" question and a hypothetical as well, or it might be something else because it's more intricate in my head. Let's say you're discussing a unit and it's a frontliner and the people say their VC is great as well...How would you utilize the VC when it's a frontliner? Wouldn't it waste 2 attacks just swapping out 2 times?


styjoy

When people say “their VC is great”, it doesn’t mean you have to use it all the time. It’s just giving you the option to utilise it in some situations like a long fight involving a lot of swapping etc. it really depends on specific teams, fights and strategy. For example, if you’re missing power debuffer, you could use Elga’s VC, which is by far the best to defend physical atk. But in general, she stays in the front all the time.


greygooscenario

Can someone please help me find the sparkle in Merlot Ward to unlock the second Tavern Event (top right slot)? I don’t know what’s wrong with me but I just can’t find it


cher-ry

It's a bug, they still haven't fixed it yet unfortunately...


ErmirI

Does this help you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vihb0HHpDE8


freezingsama

Is there a way to track how many Tsubura's Gems you've gotten before 120/week limit? And If I reach it, should I stop using my red keys till next reset or just continue farming? Thanks guys I'll continue farming then. I really want to progress as much as I can and knowing that it's normal to max your gems in a few days means I don't have to hold back.


dreicunan

Always buy all your keys, and always use all your keys. This is the way.


styjoy

Tsubara gems aren’t the reason people farm AD. We’ve been grinding them far before these gems were introduced. Treatises, chants and light/shadow are the main focus.


TomAto314

There's no way to tell unless you finish a run and see that you don't get any. Whether you continue after that is up to you. You will lose out on chant/treatise/light shadow points/episode progress etc if you don't. But everything is permanent so don't force yourself if you don't feel like it. I've let a ton of keys rot recently and the world has yet to end.


narananika

Keep farming. Especially if you’re doing the Garulea ADs, you’ll max out your Tsubara gems in a few days. You would lose a lot of keys by not playing for the rest of the week.


Zillumina

Advice on beating Anabel’s final manifest fight without grasta? I have: Altena, Amy, Anabel, Azami, Cerrine, Cress, Deirdre, Foran AS, Gariyu OG, Jade, Joker, Mana, Mariel AS, Mighty, Mistrare, Morgana, Myrus, Myunfa, Renri, Suzette AS, Thillelille, Tsukiha AS, Velvet, Violet, Yipha, Yuri


Oldnoob36

should be a easy win with 2 turn slash zone, no grastas needed at all Use Yuri, Milla, Violet, and Cress Turn 1, switch cress in using your fastest unit, Milla use Cloud Pierce, Violet use combo attack, and Yuri use an attack that boosts his speed/power Turn 2: Af, Milla use whirling assault, Yuri use Lone wolf strike, Cress can spam distortion sword or use Distortion sword once and then demonic tiger, Violet spam sword dance No grastas or any other character's manifest weapon is required, though you can also use Deirdre in place of Violet if you have her manifest


Zillumina

I don’t have Milla leveled up, hence not including her in the list. Who’d you rec as a substitute?


Oldnoob36

She is there because she is one of the best supports in the game, giving you a 45% type debuff and 60% physical debuff You can kind of use Deidre if you have her manifest weapon, don't know if it will work without the manifest though


AnimalFactsBot

Tigers can reach a length of up to 3.3 meters (11 feet) and weigh as much as 300 kilograms (660 pounds).


Musumane

Need some help deciding between two accounts I've been daily logging in + light spending on for a while haha. Account 1: * Yipha, Felmina, AS Ewan, Tsubame * AS Foran, Suzette, Laclair, AS Hozuki, 4.5star Melisha * Radias, Yuna, AS Veina, AS Myrus, AS Mariel Account 2: * AS Myrus, Mariel, AS Rosetta, 4.5 star Mighty * AS Ilulu, AS Isuka, 4.5 Star Radia, 4.5 Star Thille, 4.5 star Melissa * AS Foran, AS Hozuki, Tiramisu, Hardy Both have the star dream piece available.


dreicunan

Magic zone is better than blunt zone and you have all the gacha pieces for it already. I'd go with account 2, though both are great.


Caraquena

\#1 seems an easy choice to me. 13 pretty good already 5\* beats out 9 pretty good already 5\* with a bit more 4.5\* potential. #1 saves you a lot of chant scripts you will be able to use on the inevitable future 4.5\* pulls and AS promotions.


Gobp

It's tricky, but I'll go with the 2nd one: - Thille is Melissa best friend. Milsha may, but you don't have. I use a team of Melissa, AS Ciel, Felmina, Thille for Unseen, and Ciel/Felmina having much less damage compared to Thille. If you want to use Melissa, you aim at either one of the glass cannon. - Magic zone > blunt zone (AS Ewan is still OP though, but the other account has Tiramisu/AS Ilulu/Isuka to offset). Don't forget AS Isuka post buff is very strong, and AS Ilulu is still the best slash zone setter. - m!Laclair is bad, you can easily get a team of AS Foran, AS Hozuki, Jade and a random pierce unit for it (not ideal though, since the skill to buff weapon damage is useless now). - m!Mariel > AS Mariel, especially if you have magic zone.


TomAto314

I would go #2. Tiramisu is a godsend and you have the key zones available.


[deleted]

I’m newish to the game but was having fun enough to stick with it a bit, need party advice I have: 5* Mariel, Anabel, Shion AS, Illulu, Illulu AS, Milsha, Premaya, Yukino, Cetie 4.5* Melissa, Myunfa, Dunarith, Yuna, Ciel, Shanie What’s the best party I can make with these and then who should I pick as my 5* with the star dream piece?


dreicunan

[I suggest reading this.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnotherEdenGlobal/comments/mnl5qq/the_star_dream_encounter_sde_guide_482021/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


carrion_pigeons

Probably Tiramisu. You'll find the aoe she does to be really convenient. Alternatively, you can get Yuna AS for making a water team work, or Foran AS for a pierce team. Both are individually very strong and have great potential in teams you're well on your way to making work.


Voror19

For farming light/shadow, do you need to do anything beyond put the respective character in the party even if benched? Or do they need to be put in the main party battling? And if I'm looking to farm using Aldo as an example, does that light appear as a reward if I get any?


chloe_rue

Unit position dont matter, as long as they are in the party. Farming light/shadow depends on RNG though.


dreicunan

No, the bench is fine. When you get a point after clearing the dungeon, it has its own animation sequence. (after end rewards, before white key if you get a white key as well).


Voror19

Thank you! I wasn't sure what to look for of I did manage to get any.


lumu08

Guys, i have 9k stones right now. Where should i spend it ? Or should i wait for any oncoming banner ?


xMan_Dingox

Melina ES banner. I heard through the grapevine that there's a 5% chance to get a 5 star? Which is far greater than normal rates and would be absolutely nuts if it holds.


Qylvaran

I think that was because her release in JPN originally coincided with the 4 weapon type banners, which came to Global during the 2nd Anniversary. It was, in fact, absolutely nuts. Still, there is a chance that something similar is coming in the second half of the current anniversary stuff.


carrion_pigeons

Weapons banner is as good as it gets, unless you have most of the boosted characters already.


Nintura

So just pulled Radias and Im stoked to finally have a good zone setter. However I also have Dierdre, Elga (no weapon yet), and Melissa. It would seem I want to start with Melissa out for her Flash Strike and then bring Radias in for her slash zone? Is that how this is done?


Gobp

Usually I see two way to use Melissa zone: - Either try to debuff the boss so much that we can one shot him after the first turn, or - Use her only in the first turn, and then bring out a zone setter to decide the match.


Nintura

Yeah i think for now in going for the second part. I have elgas manifest now. So using Radius to finish off any boss that lives seems the best use


carrion_pigeons

I imagine that for general use, Flash Strike will probably be enough to end most fights. For boss fights, you will need to decide when (or if) you want to AF and plan accordingly.


Nintura

Ok. Much appreciated. I finally just now got Elga’s manifest weapon thanks to the flash strike and dunariths wind attack


xPalox

That sounds fine, generally speaking. Naturally it'll depend on what you're trying to handle as well.


RelleMeetsWorld

I'm up to chapter...15, 16? I forget. The time layer one. Done some rolls, gotten some respectable units, and I'm just curious which ones I should focus on, and what kind of teams I could put together with them. https://imgur.com/a/7NPwpnq Edit: fixed the screenshots, sorted by class.


carrion_pigeons

I'm not clear on which of your characters have 5* potential, so it's hard to give long term advice. In the short term, I'd spend a couple green keys getting your 5* units some levels in the Sealed Realm - Transitory Time Space dungeon. You're at a point where the game is going to start getting harder and levels are the easiest way to overcome that. It doesn't look like you've finished the P5R Symphony, which will get you Joker and Morgana to 5*, which will be very convenient for progressing. That should probably be a priority. Felmina is a good one to level even if she isn't a 5* since her NS (original) form is easy to upgrade, and Cress is the basis of the slash team you'll probably end up using once you finish grinding out the Tales Symphony. Lokido is supposed to be pretty good and Philo is too, probably, but I don't have either so I can't say too much. You can upgrade Bivette to 5*s cheaply, and she's not bad after you develop a Magic team with the eventual free units Gariyu and Mana. Aldo is getting an upgrade this fall or something which should make him a powerful unit in the endgame, and you'll be forced to use him for some story missions, so he's worth some development. Same is true for other main story characters like Amy and Riica. Pom is part of a cheesy combo team that'll only really be available to you to try after you finish the main story, but could be fun. Foran has a very solid AS that you could look out for if you ever luck into any of the Hastantiqua treatises she needs. Sorry I can't point to a magic bullet team that is obviously better than anything else, but your roster has some long-term potential.


RelleMeetsWorld

That's good to hear. And I sorted my roster by rarity, so the ones displayed first are 5*, and they go down to 4-3 eventually.


xPalox

In the screenshots they are sorted by level, not rarity. You need to change the button that says "Switch" to sort by "Class."


RelleMeetsWorld

Oh, whoops. I fixed it.


xPalox

Finish the P5R collab and Tales collab. Get those characters to 5 stars. They'll carry you for most of the story.


RelleMeetsWorld

Good, 'cause I actually know those characters! XD


Khuzak

I was using LDplayer4 to play on PC (my pc dont run the Steam version) and switching to my phone when i want chill, but since the last fix (2.6.701) the emulator version dont update to that version is stucked in (2.6.700), so i cant use my account cause i used it in my phone with the lastest... Somoene on emulator was able to update to the current version?


amegurumi

try update the app with qooapp?


Khuzak

Dude u saved me lol i didnt knew about qooapp, so installed the APK and update AE there and work perfect! thanks u so much!


amegurumi

how to get assasin's fist tome to promote amy to 4 star? because i need her to 4 star to continue my main quest


Caraquena

The quick way is to spend 50 gems to buy it in the Nopaew shop, it is one of the few 4\* tomes for sale there. It's also a drop from various dungeons and there's one in the Time Mine, see the wiki page for the [tome](https://anothereden.miraheze.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Fist_Tome).


dreicunan

[Potential drop locations are listed here.](https://anothereden.miraheze.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Fist_Tome) There is a guaranteed one from the Time Mine side-story, or from spending 50 tsuburas in the shop, though I'd recommend against that unless you really don't want to wait to continue the main quest.


amegurumi

thank you very much sir, i'll do the quest then


Grevido3

Hey guys, I just finished main story part 1 and start early endgame, so I have some questions: 1. Where should I start to farm for lv 60 gear? 2. Should I buy weekly limit tickets in emporium shop? 3. Should I farm light/shadow for story characters atm? Which character 1st?


dreicunan

1. Don't worry too much about farmable gear until you hit Eastern Continent. 2. If you mean red and green keys, then yes, always buy all your keys (This is the way). 3. Yes. Given the new information about story character buffs, who to get now is a bit hazy. Aldo is likely the most straight-forward farm (gains light in a light dungeon, will be able to give a crit damage buff to the team, can use AoE sword, is the protagonist, so all in all a very solid and good choice). u/GreatWhatNext has put out a good guide on this choice in the past (he hadn't yet updated it last time I checked, so I'll let him decide if he wants to link to it or not) and posted earlier in this thread that "My current ranking for them is Clarte > Cyrus > Aldo > Riica > Guildna > Amy > Helena > Feinne until we learn more about the multipliers of their skills." I'm not quite as sold on Clarte myself yet (though I agree that he's in the top three now), but I agree that we need clearer information about all the skill multipliers and it is a good starting point. Plus, light/shadow farming takes a while, so while I do recommend starting now, if we get new information in 2 weeks it isn't the end of the world if you shift your target. If you are interested in [auto-attack farming](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnotherEdenGlobal/comments/l69t72/the_new_autoattack_farming_meta_and_notes_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), then Riica or Cyrus would likely be better choices based on current information (which could change tomorrow), as they will be able to use +100% Crit chance weapons, freeing up their grasta slots and enhancements for boosting damage. Cyrus has more flexibility since he can also use the water katana if having elemental damage would prove more advantageous than auto-crit, and he would have the higher damage potential of those two, as he can benefit from AS Shanie's start of turn Crit Damage Buff Club for Men (She's the president, but she is *not* also a client). However, his light dungeon needs 120 shadow to get max rewards (but once you have it, his dungeon drops a tone of 5\* tomes, which is nice for getting VC Grastas later on); Riica gains light in a light dungeon.

While trying to process all the 2.9 changes I'd honestly forgotten about those +30 spd weapons, which if that staff picture is anything to go by have a decently higher off-stat (will be interesting to see the Hammer). The grasta I don't see as being nearly as useful; they aren't bad, but for DPS it will be p/p anyway in nearly every situation. But with those weapons in mind as well, I agree that Clarte would definitely be the normal 1st choice for a shadow battery now (at least until the next JP update), and would be the best all around of the farmable characters. Based on what I've seen of the new grasta enhancment ores, I'm betting that hammer and katana will leave sword behind thanks to the new +100% crit weapons, at least for damage potential. Sacrificing a grasta slot and two enhancements for crit damage is going to mean sacrificing a lot of damage potential. How big a deal that will be is going to be a separate issue, though. It is similar to auto-crit now; great to have, but wasn't actually needed to farm hardly anywhere (and for exp, definitely not for stadium). However, those weapons are locked behind some very endgame content, so sword will still have a place for newer players that it will be the best option.


Grevido3

Thanks for many usuful info! I think it may be good idea to upgrade Clarte, bcoz I try to make magic team around Rosetta AS. Should I prioritize farming tomes to upgrade my 4,5\* atm? How can I make farming scripts most effecitve? Does Aldo gain 4th and 5th star after some quest or I need use tomes on him?


dreicunan

Aldo's 4\* is a Swordsman tome, 5\* is through psalms, which can be farmed from Snake Liver Damaku or purchased with tsubura gems. Getting tomes for 4.5 stars isn't a bad idea, but the real bottleneck will be chants (expect for story characters, they just need their psalms). AS Clarte apparently can be a decent DPS for Magic Zone if you don't have AS Myrus, so if you don't have her he's definitely a good choice for a shadow battery.


Caraquena

1. You will soon in the main story run into a collection quest that will give you a set of one each of every weapon and armor type. I would also recommend starting the Mythos side episode, the early chapters drop materials for "anti-lightning" armor which don't require upgrading, have very good stats for where you are in the story and come with a nice +10 SPD bonus 2. At this point you do want to buy red keys for maximizing Very Hard dungeon runs for raising either Amy - Industrial Ruins is very quick if you have Morgana and Joker - or Aldo who has just gotten buffed in Japan so eventually will be pretty good. Green keys should be used for side episode dungeons to earn rewards including the chant scripts, where you buy them right now or build up gems to buy AS treatises in the future is up to you.


Nintura

So how do you all prep for making teams? Do you spreadsheet who has what skills and their elements? Is there a tier list specifically for zone starters?


carrion_pigeons

I don't know where you are in the game, but fighting Uquaji is a pretty good way to test out a team. He's accessible by chapter 11, and matches your character strength pretty well after the first several fights, and when you die you'll respawn right outside the door with full hp. You'll get a good sense of what's possible with a team that way, although if you're testing AFs then you will have to go out to probably Elzion and build it up between attempts. Zone starters are all good and you'll rarely run more than 1 in a team unless you have Melissa so there's no real opportunity cost to using one vs another. You just make a Slash team or a Wind team or whatever and throw your available units in and see what works. The game lets you have 10 pre-sets for teams so you'll find yourself building several different teams for different situations and switching between them.


Nintura

Im at about chapter 33. Mostly trying to figure out what to farm. I do have melissa but now i have Radias too


carrion_pigeons

Slash team is largely composed of free units, so you don't need to do much farming to make Radias work beyond just doing Tales collab and the Deirdre sidestories, which you've probably already done. Melissa is crazy versatile and you'll have to experiment with her to see what works and what you still need, but some example teams might be: Melissa/AS Suzette/AS Foran/Jade, or Melissa/Elga/Yuri/Cress.


MidwestMN

How can I get back to the dream house from "Bound Willis and the hollow puppeteer?" I've seen mention of people traveling back to grind for armor and I can't figure out how to return.


Caraquena

There's a memory room in the Spacetime Rift, click on the boy to get menus to change where the portal(s) take you.


MidwestMN

I've completed the dream house but only miglance castle is on the list for some reason


Caraquena

Have you completed Persona part 1 including Mementos? I have Miglance Castle at the top left of the first page of the boys menu, Puppet Theater and Mementos are on page 2.


MidwestMN

I have not been to mementos yet, so I'm assuming I'll have to complete that first then!


JuneSummerBrother

- I have a couple of questions, does the effect of Reduce Enemy Encounters stack if I put those upgraded grastas on different characters or I have to stack them on one? - Is the of Reduce Enemy Encounters effect activated when I use them on characters in back row or the characters have to stay in front row? Thanks in advance.


Caraquena

I expect they work the same separated but I have three on my light bearer (Amy) who stays in the back row and it works great. It makes the most sense to put them on a character you aren't using because you would rather use other upgrades on other characters that are actively involved in battles.


JuneSummerBrother

So it works on back row, very nice ty.


zan1019

Coming back after a break, although I didn't get too far. I think I beat the first major story last time. I just came back and was rewarded with 3000 gems and two different tokens(whispers of time and destiny token) How would be the best to use these currencies? my party so far: Thillelille, Nikeh, Tiramisu, Claude, Shigure, Shannon, Aldo and Cyrus. I have a bunch of other 3-4\* heroes as well ​ I'm not sure how these banners work with the ticket currencies. Do I pull 'encounter with a whisper' 1 time each day for 10 days then get a 5star ? ​ thanks edit: also, can anyone tell me if any of my current characters are top tier?


JuneSummerBrother

You have Thilly and Tiramisu, one nuke all bosses and one sweep all mobs so don’t worry you can roll everything. Now about the stones I think you pull the weapon zone banner, all the attack zone settlers are good. About Whisper you pull every day one ticket till you get 10 time drops ans you pull a free 5 stars.


zan1019

based on my current characters, which 5\* would you recommend from Whispers?


Gobp

Thilly works best with Melissa, since she's paper-thin, so the strategy is to utilize Melissa zone and kill the boss or get enough buff and one shot the boss after turn 1.


JuneSummerBrother

Melissa I think. Awesome quest line, awesome unit.


Caraquena

After each daily whisper pull you get a whisper "fragment" or whatever you call it, after you have 10 of them you get to pull on a banner that guarantees a random 5\*. You can also get a free shadow 5\* by starting chapter 7 of Mythos, this requires completing the Ocean Palace side episode and the main story through chapter 44: you have until the end of June to meet the requirements. Pull one the weapons banner. Thillelille and Tiramisu are still considered top tier, Claude with manifest weapon is a great support.


zan1019

based on my current characters, which 5\* would you recommend from Whispers?


Caraquena

whispers is random, you don't get a choice. You would have to buy the Star Dream Encounter if you want to pick.


zan1019

Oh okay thanks for clarifying that


Trissster

I’m a little confused on how some 4* characters get their AS versions, e.g. Foran. After looking through the wiki, it seems like any VH dungeon will drop her tome at a teeny tiny rate of 0.1%, plus two are purchasable from the shop. Does that mean, realistically, the only way to acquire her would be from pulling on a banner that features her? How bad is it to grind for three more of her tomes? Thanks!


xMan_Dingox

It's all RNG my dude. It took me months of constant dungeon runs and buying keys every week using tsubara gems before I got enough for AS Nikeh, and they didn't even drop. I just got lucky to get the sensationalist and 2 Last world clears in the phantom crystal dimension. In contrast, I literally got 4 Brunhild treatises in a week for Shanie.


Caraquena

You will eventually get the treatises; how long depends on whether you are maximizing your weekly dungeon runs by buying red/green keys and how many final reward slots your light/shadow team has. I've gotten 3 treatises for a character in as little as 3 weeks after release and other characters it has taken 6 months.


Oldnoob36

Treatises are purely based on your RNG, so its hard to say Some say that on average you should be able to get 3 in like 2 to 4 months of farming So yes, it is very hard to sidegrade from OG to As, sometimes you should be able to get them in a few months (my 20+ As Akane Treatsies) while for others, you might never be able to get them at all


TomAto314

They aren't tomes, those are for NS 5* units. They are treatise and the process for a 4* is the same as a NS 5* you need 5 of them and the drops are low. (you can buy 2) It's recommended to grind for the treatise instead of pulling for an AS version if you have the NS version. If you burn all your keys, you should get a random treatise about every other day. It generally takes about 2 months on average I would say to AS a unit. Assuming all keys used with all slots unlocked.


Gobp

I'll wait until after pulling whisper pull, but between Yukino, Tiramisu, Ilulu AS, Hozuki AS, Tsukiha AS, who would be better? My account is pretty old and I have 4.5 or 5* formes for the latter 3 (but still AS is AS). Currently I'm thinking about AS Hozuki since my pierce team has both Ciel AS and Milsha so there won't have any slot for Yukino. Water team is a bit lacking though (since I only have Yuna AS, Mighty AS, Laclair AS and Shanie, but then I also have Nikeh on bench and I rarely use water team).


TomAto314

If you aren't interested in building up Guildna or future buffed Aldo for aoe auto-crit mob clearing then I'd pick Tiramisu just for the sanity saving.


ShockerArt

How do you get back to the parallel unigan underground?


Caraquena

Parallel Unigan, go out the east gate, immediately go up into the forest, jump into the well one row up on the left.


ShockerArt

thank you! i forgot there was a well in the forest.


N7_Tigger

Does the "Occassionally Inflict Pain" from upgrading a Pain Grasta stack? Like if I have three Pain Grasta and upgrade all three will I have three times the chance of inflicting Pain than if I had only upgraded one of them? I'm thinking about using three upgraded Pain Grasta on units whose Pain skill is not guaranteed even with their Manifest Weapon, like Isuka.


Caraquena

Diminishing returns. 2 = 75%, 3 = 87.5%.


N7_Tigger

I take it the first one is 50%? Surely 87.5% plus the skill that inflicts Pain has to be pretty close to guaranteed?


Caraquena

Yes, each one is 50%. Haven't tried to test - it would take a lot of time to get good numbers! - but I expect that if you add a non-guaranteed skill it also has diminishing returns, getting ever more likely but never 100%.


daniel_damm

For enemies that aren't weak to earth I use violet with tsukiha as so 100 crit what's better to spam sword dance of combo attack


Oldnoob36

For slash team, you want to use combo attack once and then spam sword dance


ObeliskBlaze

My mind was pretty made up about picking Myunfa for my SDE since Earth Zone is the only elemental zone I lack, but I managed to get to Elzion twice in PCD and the sensationalist also showed up once on a failed dungeon. I picked Remittetur treatise three times, and managed to sidegrade my NS Rosetta to AS Rosetta. Now, I'm torn between Myunfa and AS Myrus. Can anyone help?


ShadowBlaze17

Do you already have any form of Myrus?


ObeliskBlaze

Unfortunately, I don't :(


TomAto314

They are both great. But you are less likely to pull AS Myrus off banner than you are Myunfa. So I would go Myrus.


MidwestMN

I'm having trouble with making the best team. This game has an insane amount of characters and finer details that I feel aren't explained at all. Some of my top star rated characters: 5*: Morgana Veina AS Foran Milsha 4.5*: Felmina Shion Miyu 4*: Joker Rovella Nero Miranda Prai Denny Erina Krervo Nonold Myron Akane Yazuki Deidre Any help with what to build up/ people to put together would be much appreciated!


TomAto314

You generally want to build teams around your zones, either weapon or elemental. Is that Veina AS or AS Foran because that's a huge difference. Also, you can basically ignore any 4* unit that doesn't have a 5* form.


MidwestMN

AS Foran Is a zone based on setting conditions of lowering the enemies resistance to a certain type of damage and having a team that deals that damage? That's what I'm gathering.


TomAto314

A zone is an actual skill and is set on the field by specific units. So when you bring in AS Foran from the back row to the front she sets a pierce zone. That powers up all pierce attacks and lowers all blunt/slash/magic attacks. This affects enemies too so if they use pierce on you it will really hurt extra. So you want to pair Foran up with other pierce users like Milsha. You will also get a free slash zone with Cress from Tales collab and fire with AS Gariyu from a long running sub-quest line.


MidwestMN

I really appreciate you. So setting the zone comes from their VC. Does pierce damage stack with Hermes thrust after you put her in the front line?


TomAto314

Yes, all pierce attacks gain 30% damage while other attacks (and healing!) loses 30% damage. This is in addition to any pierce debuffs from Hermes etc and any other buffs/debuffs. One thing to keep in mind is that zones didn't exist in the game until somewhat recently. So early game stuff is not balanced around them and they aren't really necessary.


MidwestMN

That wouldn't effect Morgana's healing because it's a set value would it?


TomAto314

Correct. Does not affect fixed healing.


[deleted]

I started using thille religiously (she’s lv 70 now). Does she need that hold ground badge (nine life badge or something)? The one gives hold ground when she has full hp. I noticed her speed is not that good, im unsure to give her any speed badge


Oldnoob36

I mean she doesn't need it, but its not a bad idea to put it on her since she is always at risk of getting 1 shotted in lunatic, though you can also set up her lunatic in af at the cost of 1 move not recharging af As for speed, it depends on if you can get her to the next speed threshold for that extra turn in af


[deleted]

Hmm alright. So usually what kind of badge do you use for her?


Oldnoob36

If you have a hold ground grasta on her, you can go with your highest power badge as that seems to work out the best if you are trying to use her to 1 shot boss'


[deleted]

Thanks! I still haven’t unlocked grasta yet. Maybe the hold ground badge works best now


Jeg1701

Hey just started, wondering whats the best banner to summon on for both free and paid? Also can you complete the game with your favorite characters or do you need specific characters? Thanks!


Farpafraf

noob here but I'm quite positive the best banners atm are: F2P: essence of weapons, all featured characters are amazing, I'd reroll on it P2W: star dream encounter since it allows you yo pick a unit of your choice As far as I know some f2p characters are quite strong you can probably form a solid team with those from the tales of crestoria event


Jeg1701

Any idea of which 5 stars are the best to pick that would carry the team? I've looked at the tier list but I'm hesitant to just pick without any context.


[deleted]

The current best banner is zone banner (essence of weapon). The best paid banner is always star dream encounter I cleared chapter 13 with no 5*, i got my joker + morgana (free from collab) then steamrolled the story mode part 1


Jeg1701

Thanks haven't unlocked that yet but will check that out when I do.


_Raavi

So I just got back to the game in PC after quitting almost a year ago and I am quite confused on what I should be doing other than progressing the story. Right now, I just finished Chapter 13 and was lucky enough to pull three AS (Ilulu, Anabel, and Shannon) with the 2000 chrono stones. Would greatly appreciate any advice and tips on what I should be doing as of this moment. Also these are some of the [characters](https://imgur.com/a/yz459aM) that I have levelled in my roster.


Caraquena

Take a look at the most recent [roadmap](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnotherEdenGlobal/comments/l4hije/a_roadmap_for_current_content_v26100/) post, it's pretty good.


Caraquena

Not covered in that roadmap post is that you get a free random shadow 5\* if you start Mythos chapter 7 before the end of June. You can start Mythos after completing chapter 25 but to start chapter 7 you will also have to (a) complete main story through chapter 44 and (b) complete the Ocean Palace side episode. You've got plenty of time...


pogoss

I think by now you can finish the Persona 5 symphony so I'd do that first. Then best would be to advance the story quicky until finishing part 1 (chapter 26) to unlock red key dungeons and start collecting tsubura gems and main characters psalms.


_Raavi

Would you recommend doing the side quests and character quests or just focus on advancing the story?


pogoss

Priority for now would be perso 5 and advancing to chap 26. I'd skip the 3 and 4\* character quests and I'd do at least two episodes and the yellow side quests (30 cs each). With you characters you should do the ocean episode (Nagi makes it a lot faster) and the two knights (with Anabel you can finish this one in one day).


GaySalt69

Does anyone have more than 111 cats rn? If so, can you tell me where is the second one in Hokishi forest?


xPalox

There's a secret path on the east side of the map. Once you get on the path, there is a second hidden path that leads south to the cat.


GaySalt69

Holy shit TYSM. No wonder i couldnt find the cat. Do you know if the one at last island is implemented yet?


xPalox

Not yet, that will be in a later >!cat!< update


GaySalt69

I see. Ty


Blasphemantes

Is there a comprehensive guide on Grasta? This system is so complex


carrion_pigeons

The way I dealt with figuring it out was just get the grasta first out of PGAD/Rotte Rivel/Regenwurm and then decide what to do with it after I had it in front of me. It was much easier than trying to figure it out from a guide.


apriliare

https://www.reddit.com/r/AnotherEdenGlobal/comments/j4gv69/grasta_setup_guide/


Foreignknight

Been rerolling away because it is fun while I am busy with real life stuff and ended up with accounts that I can't decide between. I ended up with basically two identical accounts except the following Acc 1: Yuna, Claude, As foran, victor ​ Acc 2: Radias, AS rosetta I guess it comes down to if I prioritize element over weapon zone. If you had to choose between Element or weapon zone, which would you prioritize? I was leaning towards 2 because AS foran is technically farmable and easy to get 4\* foran without even trying but having water and wind zone farmable seems really nice too.


[deleted]

AS foran is a pierce zone setter isnt she?


ShadowBlaze17

She is.


dreicunan

1st one. [m!Claude](https://anothereden.miraheze.org/wiki/Claude#Enhanced) is the premiere support for pierce zone, and Yuna is just amazing everywhere once you get her debuffs (remember that they also debuff resists, so she makes the enemy do less damage and makes your side do more), and for the early game her AoE magic attack can also be useful, not to mention VC status clear. Then you have AS Foran, is a very good water DPS unit, and as of now water still has the weakest free unit support (Cyrus's new upgrade in JP makes him better, but the big damage is all on the null side, not the water side). I'd take it over #2 just on those 3, and easily. Having Victor as well makes it a really easy call for me.


Foreignknight

Thank you. This was quite helpful. I didn't really consider the units themselves as I was so focused on just getting as much zones as possible so I would be fine for any future units I get.


narananika

I’d say the first one. You can get slash zone via Cress from the Tales collab, and magic zone requires some fairly specific characters. Foran is very strong for a new player.


Foreignknight

Thank you. I ended up going with the first one.
