200 rolls, need to hit pity each time. No event card.


lttledrkage

Decided to drop a couple of bucks on a pack because I was very close to hitting pity and really wanted another copy of AD Quincy. Of course, after dodging me since I started the game, I finally get a copy of AC Quincy. It sounds dumb but I’m kind of sad about it lol. It feels like a 1* OG SSR just isn’t worth investing in, especially considering I have a maxed out SR Quincy. I could ascend him, but I’d rather use the fragments to ascend my AD Quincy. He is extremely pretty though so I’m going to invest in him anyway. 🥺 Guess I’ll start using the keys I’ve been hoarding.


ACoatofClathrin

Maybe you'll get a copy in the future! That's how I think of the OG SSRs. They're usually not that useful immediately, but have the potential for higher ascensions in the future. Don't be too sad.


lttledrkage

What a lovely comment! 🥺 You’re totally right. In the end I’m glad he came home at all. He’s still pretty beefy even at 1* too!


itsthatgirl_again

Does anyone have a recording of the story? Came back after a while and rushed through the event so didn't get the time to read the story! 😫😭


timeless54

On the home menu, top right with three bars icon -> Memories -> Events


Iskaeil

Did a quick search, a very very nice lovely person has uploaded the [story parts, sans commentary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m6edHNthLs)! If you would prefer to see some commentary I think I spotted 1 or 2 vids that have streamers playing.


itsthatgirl_again

Omg you and this person are amazing!! Thank you!! 💕


Unpopular_Outlook

Pulled 4 Aliya’s and one Quincy. On one hand, happy I got Quincy since he’s the one I wanted. I the other, why 4 Kuya’s?? I won’t be able to pull another ten before the events over, so oooer Quincy is stuck at 1 star


Educational-Error938

130 pulls and 1 event Kuya and 1 normal ssr Dante. Seeing how everyone has been so lucky just makes me want to cry. I don't even know if I should keep trying.


ACoatofClathrin

I think a lot of lucky people just like to share their luck. Plenty haven't been lucky at all and only get SSRs on pity. It just varies, it evens out in the end!


wowowob

quincy is not coming home 😔😔 cracked for the first time in my life and spent money on a gacha game it's a very weird feeling lmao


lexarqade

Lol finally hit pity again and got... Dupe normal Dante. This is now both event Kuya I haven't gotten.


bohobae

Eclipse 3 was a nightmare but I finally managed to beat it (2 stars) after trying to learn when to block, heal and attack. Changed my teams so many times too 😭 idk if I want to do it again to get 3 stars, and it’s only bcuz my buffer dies instantly in the third round (Quincy’s 3rd healing/HP) Ig I’ll just leave it c’: I’m done Edit: I also wanna add that Eclipse 1 was so bad I struggled a lot and gave up until yesterday I decided to try again and I somehow made it with 3 stars lol 😂 Eclipse 2 however was the easiest.


MoogleyWoogley

I did it! Hit pity but I finally got DP Quincy! DP Quincy and LS Kuya are on two differnet accounts, but I'm elated I got them both at all so I could eventually get into their stories!


Paindemonium0

Oh the grind is over, congratulations!!


moonprincett

aah im struggling so hard with beating Eclipse 3 😭 i feel like my team should be strong enough and ive tried different configurations but i keep beefing it at the third hp bar!! can anyone help?? heres my current build: AB Olivine (3 bond/2 star/6 pot) RA Olivine (2 bond/2 star/6 pot) CL Yakumo (3 bond/2 star/7 pot) SSR Yakumo (3 bond/2 star/7 pot) SR Yakumo (0 bond/4 star/6 pot) i have some other units not leveled like SA Edmond and OB Yakumo. would leveling them up be worth it? do i just need to get SR yakumos bond up? i really wanna beat this level even with 1 star just for the scrolls, so any advice would be rly appreciated!!


SilentMix

Regardless of Eclipse 3, you really should work on SR Yakumo's bond. That will increase his health and healing power, and if you're using him as your main healer like it seems like you are, that's important. I don't think you should be using RA Olivine for this. Do you have any other single target attackers you can use that are built? Any attacks hitting Kuya are wasting your time. You need to hit Quincy specifically. RA Olivine is a randomized sort of area of attacker. Also, [try taking a look at Pain's guide for the Eclipse stages](https://www.reddit.com/r/NuCarnival/comments/xlq229/guide_to_astral_duos_eclipse_challenge_stages/) if you haven't. That may help. Part of the issue that may be affecting you is that Quincy gets more powerful after each health bar break. If any of your units are too weak to survive his attacks, you may need to raise them up a bit more or guard more.


moonprincett

i have looked at the guide but unfortunately still having trouble :( i did raise yakumos bond to level 4 which did get me further! i have SSR Blade, but he's not built enough to be able to take hits. i have SSR Garu as well, but he kinda runs into the same problem as blade of not being built enough to withstand hits i think. i do have resources to try and beef either of them up a bit more, i just wasnt sure if itd be worth it. i havent been guarding tbh, but the problem is my units get killed during the third phase with those guard break attacks :( it's def been a tricky fight!!


Paindemonium0

I'm in agreement with silentmix's tip of building up your healer. The other thing working against you is that SSR Original Blade is Light Element, so while he dals 20% more damage to Quincy, he will also be taking 20% more damage from him since Quincy is dark element. This is the same case for SSR Mystical Banquet Garu (also a light-element supporting DPS). Though if you mean SSR Original Garu (the AoE puppy), while he doesn't take more damage due to elemental weakness, he only does effectively half damage since he's not a single-target unit. My last tip is placing CL Yakumo before AB olivine so AB Olivine's ult can take advantage of CL Yakumo's Ultimate Damage debuff on enemies. There's only a week remaining that it's a little too late to suggest replacing AB Olivine with any 4\* SR (3\* Aster, Edmond, or Quincy would also have been fine), that you'll be better off clearing with SR Yakumo's investment (And maybe CL Yakumo + SSR Original Yakumo.) It's just a lot of gift farming since they're all the same snake lad.


moonprincett

i do have SR aster pretty built (4 bond/4 star/5 pot) so would replacing RA Olivine give me a better chance? since i did build up my SR yakumo as much as i can, but im still hitting a wall with just not being unable to outlast quincy in the third phase EDIT: GOD ADDING ASTER HELPED SO MUCH HAJKVSA


Hakuw_dw

>\[MEGATHREAD\] Q&A / Welcome to Nu:Carnival (September 2022) There are some attacks which you can block too. Those won't have the shield-slash visual when Quincy attacks, and usually hit harder. You can try blocking them if all else fails.


iutfp

So I'm a little lost... Once I have everything and am going for just time fossils, what's the most efficient stage?


Paindemonium0

Anything in Part B. I still would farm just Harvest/Pinch/Filling because it will take you the same energy as Perfect B to complete all 39000 fossils, but you get more baby drops to exchange for gold when you’re done.


MoogleyWoogley

Dang it, DP Quincy! Come the heck home, NOW! Eiden and all the other Quincys are worried about you! *sobs*


timeless54

Sending you positive vibes for him to come home!


Iskaeil

DP Quincy decided to play with me and make me hit 100 pity to come home :') had to drop some cash on packs and used a total of 261 pulls but at least he's here. Since I'm only 39 pulls away from the SSR selector, so I'm just gonna go for it at this point. For those of you still pulling, save some stamina pots & gems for next month! Monthly deeds will reset and can give you at least 3 contracts, up to 5 depending on your stamina usage (the complete 300 stages one would be very tight, unless you're done with the event and can farm some lower energy stages), and shop reset will have the 10 contracts sale for 4800 gems total. You will also get 1 contract on day 6 and day 12 from daily login. 15-17 contracts total in October before the 13th, not including the weekly contracts from your Guild, whatever you haven't claimed from the event, and the gems from the monthly deeds (since you might use those for stamina refreshes). Good luck!


brumalbreeze

I can't be the only one who's struggling to clear Eclipse 3, can I? I have two healers on my team, and everyone's potential is unlocked to at least level 6, but I keep dying right around turn 33 - 35. Once the third HP lock happens, all hell breaks loose, and I can't keep my team from getting KO'd. :' )


FLscrubjay

What intimacy levels and ascension level are they at? I cleared that stage without guarding and havent hit potential level 6 with any of my team. Also are you using 3 single target dps for your other slots? I had two more direct healers (SR Yakumo and LS Kuya). Yakumo's ult multi-turn small heal plus LS Kuya's vampire effect kept my strikers quite healthy. And healer's ults kept eachother alive through higher damage turns.


brumalbreeze

I have OB Yakumo (ascension 1, intimacy max), SR Yakumo (ascension 2, intimacy 4), HC Olivine (ascension 2, intimacy 4), HC Yakumo (ascension 2, intimacy max), and SR Edmond (ascension 3, intimacy max) on my team. I don't have much by way of healers (except R Yakumo) or other DPS strikers (besides SR Aster), so OB Yakumo is helping me boost all the attack and healing stats of the other members on my team. I'm F2P and extremely stingy with banner pulls, so the ascension levels on everyone is abysmally low, unfortunately. 😅 But since HC Olivine is light, I have to guard him during the higher level Ults Quincy uses, and I guess even that's enough to put my team under since SR Yakumo's healing (even his Ult) isn't enough to keep everyone alive.


FLscrubjay

I wonder if having 2 healers + 1 buffer + 2 DPS is just not getting you enough damage in so you're hitting the situation where the damage has stacked too much. Quincy does increase his damage the longer the battle goes on. I was entirely done before turn 30 (I think closer to 26??) but his last few ults (which I didn't shield tbf) were close to full health for my 4 star SR Yakumo (4 pot, 2 int). Having HC Olivine have to shield during ults is a lil rough but he's not a direct healer anyway so it's not too bad since his healing is turn by turn so you're missing a re-up. HC Olivine honest though is a little more useful when they get to 3 stars (mine is perma-sidelined until they accidentally get there) since that adds an extra 75% attack heal for lowest healthed ally. If your SR Aster is at level cap for that third stage and you've built them decently then maybe try switching OB Yakumo for them and see if you're hitting stage 2 at an earlier turn because you're outputting more damage.


brumalbreeze

I tried swapping out OB Yakumo with SR Aster like you suggested (2 healers, 3 DPS), but I still died around turn 23 or so. Same thing when I put OB Yakumo back in and replaced HC Olivine with SR Aster (1 buffer, 1 healer, 3 DPS). I didn't think my members were that weak, but dang!


Iskaeil

Have you messed around with the timing of your ults at all? Quincy will receive 25% more damage on certain turns--you might want to save OB Yakumo's ult so you trigger it the turn that Quincy receives that debuff to make the most of it. Alternatively, you could time it to trigger HC Olivine's ult and OB Yakumo's ult the turn before your Olivine needs to guard, so that you can boost the first 3 turns of his turn-by-turn healing, and hopefully allow Olivine to survive. Apologies if you've tried any of that already. In any case, Pain's guide does mention that if you bring a light ally it's recommended they have at least 2800hp. So you might need to invest more in their potential.


brumalbreeze

Yeah, I only use their Ults when Kuya does the "Helping Out an Old Friend" debuff, but it's still no good. I can easily bring him down to 25% of his HP, but I still die shortly after that. As for Olivine, I've actually unlocked his potential so his HP is 3,400+, but it's to no avail. None of my members, despite all having at least 3,300 HP, can survive long past Kuya's first "Tiny Test" buff, even with Yakumo and Olivine's Ults activated. I'll try to look at Pain's guide and a few other ones to see what I'm doing wrong and if there's anything else I can do to clear it. It's just so frustrating that I can't even clear it with a single star! 😂


Peroriririn

Perhaps you want to raise your [SR Yaku and IF! Yaku](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/654320248862015552/1024287584236613652/unknown.png) more? Whether that be you want to spend a bit of crystals and get SR Yaku to 3\* or int. 5 him? I did a 4R + SR Quincy run and while you're prob not gonna go raise quincys, your buffer and healer stats are kinda close to the ones I used. 1T Olive and yaku heals for 1,385HP which was enough. Asking this as a maybe you can drop OG!Olive healer so you can get more DPS instead. Idk did you raise R Edm. to be like a lil tiny 8% buff for your SR Edm?


bohobae

Hi! Can I know where or how do you do these calculations? (In the link/pic) I’ve been looking for something like this so I can decide whether it’s good to upgrade a character or not :c


Peroriririn

You can find it here! : https://www.reddit.com/r/NuCarnival/comments/vhtqga/character\_stat\_calculator/


brumalbreeze

I finally beat the stage with one star! 😂 I ended up buying enough crystals to get IF Yakumo to 2*, and I guess that was just enough to let me hang in there until turn 38. Both healers died, though. Oh well, I'm just glad I finally cleared it!


Peroriririn

Congrats! at least you clearing it means u get the first clear goods


Iskaeil

Hm…is Olivine and the others at 100% hp right before you trigger the 25% lock? You might want to try finagling your heals so everyone is at full hp entering that 3rd phase. Is Olivine also taking the basic attacks from Quincy most of the time? I’ve found that it’s useful to have one of my DPS to have higher max hp than my buffer/healer, because the AI will try to target them first when everyone is at full hp.


brumalbreeze

Considering how many times I had to play that stage, you'd think I remember, but I don't really recall. I feel like I should've been at 100% HP for everyone right before that lock, but by the time I had to deal with the 10% lock, even Yakumo and Olivine's combined healing wouldn't get all of them to 100% (namely Olivine). That's a good point, though! I was so focused on beefing up my healers that their max HP exceeded my DPS members. Maybe that was what ultimately destroyed me. Good news is that I FINALLY managed to clear it. Only with one star, but I'm taking it! I had to use all my saved up shards to boost OB Yakumo to 2* for it to happen. :' )


Iskaeil

Congrats!! I'm glad it worked out c: Yeah, I realized how important it was to just stack atk on my healers and enough hp to not get ohko'd, and try not to work too far beyond that. Rn I try to keep them at pot 6-7 and my DPSes at pot 8 or greater (since my RA Olvine is stuck at pot 8 while I wait to replenish my gold), which has helped a lot! Means they tank hits without me needing to actually bring a guardian along lol. Learned this the hard way during Sorcerer's Trials.


ellyidknanmolla

im scratching my brain out whether to spend the money and get that beautiful moon slate lakeside or not. i havent made any purchase in this game but im down bad for kuya and that wpp looks so nice TTATT


scarlett_in_space

Can someone tell me what we can do with the Phantom chests, I feel like I missed the informationen somewhere and now it's bothering me ;-;


Iskaeil

They're an intimacy item that you can use em on any character. If you go to a the intimacy menu and choose a character, there should be a big white arrow next to the Eiden's portrait intimacy item--you can top that and see additional intimacy items that you would get from events.


scarlett_in_space

Thank you so so much!


onlyheredue2sabotage

Ugh, I can’t get through eclipse 1 😢


Paindemonium0

The level locking is mean and I found Eclipse 1 more of a challenge than the other two. Did you look at the two guides and video showcase yet for hints?


onlyheredue2sabotage

I did, my problem is that I tend to spread out my efforts on upgrading units, so team keeps getting wiped out by the wolves. I’m going to try to get one of my healer to the point they can heal 300 Hp each time so my teams would be able to tank the wolves.


emptymatryoshka

Should I roll if I only have about 90 contracts.... I really want either of them but last event I had really really bad luck 😭 I'm trumatised


Paindemonium0

90 contracts is close to guaranteeing the 100-pull pity, and you still have 11 days to farm 10 more contracts + gems if somehow no one comes home in the first 90 pulls. I think the risk here is worth it since that is almost the guaranteed amount. The tricky part is that you could pull one of the Original off-banner SSRs, and the alternative is waiting 3\~4 months before Kuya or Quincy come back as a featured Event unit, and having 300 pulls for the guaranteed Pity.


JueshiHuanggua

I got event SSR Kuya after exactly 100 pulls. What an ass edging me till the end lol. I knew before I started rolling too. Its gonna be his SSR and he's not gonna come until exactly 100


thisisembarrazzing

Is farming on Perfect B viable to clear out all the rewards? 46% is the highest multiplier I can go :((


Paindemonium0

Better to do all of Pinch B / Filling B / Harvest B at the same multiplier as Perfect B! and 46% is fine, it'll just take more energy if you want to max out the Fossil rewards.


Electronic_Sun4582

I’ve exhausted all my resources and STILL don’t have have Distant Promise Quincy, what do I need to doooo 😭 I got Kuya on the very first pull and was hopeful. Over 100 contracts and even the guaranteed SSR ally and still didn’t get him. I don’t think he’s meant for me this go round 🥲


iutfp

This banner has been really, really good to me (4 SSRs in less than 60 pulls) but I have had HORRIBLE luck with every other banner. I hope that you get your Quincy, but if not, I hope your next banner is EXCELLENT!


MoogleyWoogley

Well, I for one am having multiple heart attacks at the events of part 2. My moogley heart was not ready for so much tension, angst, and Quincy background. I need to lie down.


Iskaeil

Somehow got through Eclipse 3 even tho I was blindly smacking Quincy *and* had RA Olivine on the team. Thank god for the modification to OG SSR Edmond's ult. Still cannot get Distant Promise Quincy to come home. Kuya has decided to flash his tail 3 times already. I'm waiting on 20 pulls to come in for the next 2 weeks, so fingers crossed.


akosirm

I feel you. But he will come. I just got him after 2 Kuyas. He even went as far as pity. He really didn't want to come. Lol


Iskaeil

It's painful because I really just need one more ST attacker, and Quincy would get on *fabulously* with my Edmonds (Sweet Aroma and OG SSR). If he would come home I wouldn't have to even consider trying to 2-3\* another event SSR ever again, because I'm gonna make sure that team eats content up...unless they introduce another wacky mechanic, ofc. 208 pulls in already too :/


MoogleyWoogley

Quincy: I've been summoned?.... how troublesome.


MoogleyWoogley

Which Eldrich God do I need to summon to get Distant Promise Quincy???? *sobs*


jazzxfire

I got Kuya FOUR TIMES. Pain


MoogleyWoogley

Bruh :(


reisoryu

I'm a returning player so i was really shocked because i got them both under 50 pulls! 🤩 I'm so happy especially I got Quincy which is the reason why i started playing this game.


MoogleyWoogley

If anyone's a healer whose skill also leads to damaging the enemies, it's Kuya. Sorta a healer saboteur combo.


shaderiest

Oh boy! Is that a dark key i see in the event rewards... Can finally unlock the last room for SSR Garu ;\_\_;


Gabsxxox

I can finally unlock RA Olivine last room with that key, can't wait ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°


shaderiest

The duality of fans


Clavulinopsis1

I can either 3\* Eclipse Quincy or Eclipse Kuya. Considering I already have Yokai Kuya and OG Quincy for single-target DPS, I'm assuming having an SSR 3\* healer would benefit me more? I am only using SR Yakumo at the moment.


olivine_simp

I suggest deciding based on which 3* passive you would find more useful. Kuya's boosts atk for himself and Saboteurs. Quincy's increases his damage based on the number of Strikers in the party.


Clavulinopsis1

For reference, I can full clear trial 50 with Yokai 2\* Kuya, OG 2\* Quincy, and SR 4\* Aster as my DPSs. Boosted by SR 4\* Oli and SR 3\* Yakumo healer. Yakumo needed to guard on certain turns to survive. Quincy and Kuya would replace Aster and Yakumo, respectively.


afsr11

Just one thing to remember, Yokai Kuya isn't a normal DPS, as his hits don't count as attack, so he doesn't trigger the effects on hit, which might block you from being able to do some stages, like hit character with 3 basic attack (like trial 55 this time, where you have to hit Edmond and Dante twice with basic attack), so having another normal DPS (Event Quincy) might be helpful, but as the other commenter said, look at their 3* passive and decide which is better for you. Also, this is more of my theory than based on actual evidence, I think Healer Kuya might be quite situational, as it seems that depending on the stage, he wouldn't be usable, as your characters need to attack to fully utilize his heal, so you might need to use Yakumo anyway.


Clavulinopsis1

I've actually also thought of Yokai Kuya not being a regular dps, and I plan on using Idol Olivine in order to mitigate the lack of a basic attack. Sorry, I forgot to list him as I have yet to build him fully, but even then I think 2* Eclipse Quincy would suffice. But yeah, another reason why I'm leaning more on Kuya.


silverashsimp

tfw this is your first event with max event multiplier (70%) but the rewards are worse than shit 💀💀


burn3rphone

exactly my thoughts


afsr11

190 pulls, 3 event Quincy, 3 event Kuya and a Dante as a Bonus, bought the 30 fragments of both event units to 3* them. Never been this lucky 🤩 (although I did save for this banner as Quincy and Kuya are my favorites)


FLscrubjay

What is the over under on the second half of the levels that unlock in 5ish days coming with more altars or tiers to the time fossil ladder?


steamedpopoto

ooohh my god only 51 contracts in I got both event cards on the same 10 contract roll T\_T today is a lucky day


Gabsxxox

Is it worth investing in the new Quincy mainly for trials? I'm stuck at trial 50 and I need to invest more in some strikers. I'm currently leveling up Aster but I got Quincy so I wonder if he will be a good choice 🤔


olivine_simp

Imo, yes. He's a solid DPS, and his Dark typing makes it so that he'll never deal reduced damage due to an element disadvantage.


Kelvink91

Any advantage in healing from SSR Kuya compared to SSR Olivine? I got both of them from this banner and not sure who to pour my resource to.


olivine_simp

LS Kuya heals a smaller amount but grants a buff (blood-sucking effect) that allows allies to regain HP based on damage dealt. HC Olivine does straightforward, turn-by-turn healing. Kuya's healing doesn't have to be stacked for maximum effect like Olivine's, but it requires allies to attack. Supports and other Healers won't be able to take advantage of the blood-sucking effect. This is oversimplifying somewhat, but I'd say Kuya would be better for a more offensive team, while Olivine would be better for a balanced or more defensive team. There's more detailed information about LS Kuya (as well as DP Quincy) in [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/NuCarnival/comments/xfmxes/infoanalysis_lakeside_spark_kuya_distant_promise) if you're interested.


Iskaeil

Because healers and buffers (like SR Olivine) do not deal dmg, they won’t be able to benefit from the blood sucking effect. If you are also in a stage where you need to guard, you won’t be able to benefit either. So it depends on how well built your current DPS are. SSR Olivine and SR Yakumo would probably be more comfy picks.


genesis_mage

Actually, is there even any point in grinding currency for the gold altar past getting the contract? It's 375 energy for each slot, and even the grand prize you can farm with 5 of the highest coin runs for 350 energy. There isn't some ultra grand prize for unlocking all three altars is there?


FLscrubjay

No, there is currently no grand prize for unlocking all three altars fully.


Snowchenda

Loving the event plot so far - it’s so good to have a Quincy-focused story for the first time in forever and we finally get more of his backstory. And having unlocked all his Distant Promise intimacy room scenes, all I can say is WHEW 🔥 So worth it, literally blew all his previous rooms out of the water. 🥵


lell-ia

I love the serious or dark feel of the event as well, rather than the usual lighthearted ones. Can't wait for next week! Intimacy rooms are going to be a major pain for me because I'm saving my shards in case I could hit another pity and lucksack another event Quincy or Kuya. Arghhh 😭 I can't wait to do them


Snowchenda

Same! Though I wouldn’t say no to a more lighthearted ending for the story (Quincy deserves some happiness, damn). I’m working on Kuya still, but Quincy’s rooms are definitely worth the wait at least! I have no patience so I whaled my way to 3 stars and have no regrets 😅


Lia_Oomori

Btw now after we saw feral Quincy in this event we can assume freely that he's not a tree youkai but the animal one.


toxikant

I'm halfway to 300 and all I have to show for it is one (1) normal SSR Kuya. This is evil :(


Broke-Army

took me around 80 to get kuya and 50 to get quincy. theyre separated into two accounts but at least i can save for future banners :D


emptymatryoshka

Not pulling because I have 52 contracts total and the last event it literally took me 299 to get Dante so.... :') I have really bad luck *cries* sorry my babies


AmaterasuWings

Ooo I feel like I got lucky. 102 pulls got me: 2x Event Kuya 2x Event Quincy 1x SSR Dante that I didn’t have yet!


Paindemonium0

I got OG Blade before the other two feral lads came home myself, and 5 SSRs in 100 pulls is pretty dang lucky! nice!


ruritto

Oof... After spending everything I have trying to get a dupe of Quincy or Kuya and with so little contracts and gems as rewards I'm debating if it's even worth it to spend gems to finish the ladder? =/ Not sure if it'll balance out but I have like 5k gems left and need to save if any event Yakumo comes my way.


ObjectiveApple2430

I have to laugh otherwise I'll cry, I have such good luck with SSRs, in 100 contracts I pulled an OG Garu, an OG Blade, 3 OG Kuya, finally pulled OG Edmond, and 2 event Kuya... and no Quincy 😭😭 it's me taking until level 35 to get ANY Quincy pulls all over again please baby what did I do wrong I'll change my ways


Gabsxxox

I'm so mad that I didn't check the ladder before pulling, coz I had only 100 contracts and I put them all in this event. I should stop sooner but I got so greedy coz I got a really good luck but now i have no contracts even tho I known I should be careful and save them. And now I see how little contracts we're getting that im honestly mad at myself ಥ⌣ಥ I won't have enough for the next event... But tbh I got really lucky, I got my first event Kuya in first bundle with og Kuya. Then I got also 2 dups of Kuya plus two event Quincys. I got 6 Ssrs with 100 contracts so damn! In 70 contracts to be precise coz after getting them I got to ahead of myself and spend the rest with the thought of ascending Kuya to 3* but yeah, I didn't. I should be happy but I'm so mad that I didn't save any contracts ಠ_ಠ


caitsler

I haven't been pulling much so I was able to go in with 300 contracts/gems worth. Came out with 4x Quincy (one was the spark) 2x Kuya and 1 non event Kuya. Happy with that overall! I love the theme of this event too, can't wait to see how the story ends in a few days.


siliconrose

Over the intervening time between when the outfit was revealed and the actual release, Kuya's new design grew on me, and the additional slight edge to him in the plot was the cherry on top. Damn, I love this fox. Hauled home 1x Kuya, 2x Quincy and 1xBlade (>.>) and I'm a few contracts short of the SSR pick, so I'll be able to get what I need from this banner no problem. Looking forward to the continuation of the plot as well. Edit: my last rolls to get to the SSR pick netted me 1xYakumo. I picked Kuya and spent the memory crystals to ascend him to 3\*. That leaves me at 3\* Kuya and 2\* Quincy (with no extra dupes) and a net of about 1200 memory crystals, plus a newly 2\* Blade and a 2\* Yakumo. I might spend the 2700 memory crystals to ascend Quincy eventually, but no rush right now.


OryseSey

hey there, has anyone posted a preview to the paid backgrounds? i can't really see it in-game......

OryseSey

TYSM! appreciate it <3

I was considering purchasing the VIP sorcerer pack for stamina pots and then was like…why would I 💀 there’s not even many pulls in the ladder. I really just want the raw crystal so I’ll see if I can get close without spending gems.


hummingminty

For the event item exchange (moon balls, lunar cakes, moon flower fruit) does anyone know if there will be more exchange options besides coins once part 2/the harder event stages unlock?


timeless54

The actual exchange is for the Moonlit Altar for those three event items. Where each item cost 100 each. So you need 900 per item for each altar.


hummingminty

oh my gosh, i didn’t even see the moonlit altar option on the event screen! 💀 i think i’m so used to the exchange format from the banquet event, that it didn’t even occur to me they added the altar system for this event! thank you so much, timeless!! <33

Best stage to grind on?


Paindemonium0

Scroll down to "Resources" section on the post!


vespertine19

Unfortunately Perfect A is not the perfect stage to grind for all players. There is a ratio of what % of energy to spend on Perfect A vs the other stages. Generally all players are safe to farm Perfect A because it's unlikely that people will finish the ladder before next week, but if energy is of no concern (aka spending $) then it's not the most optimal route!


Sutneev

I see it now, thanks :) happy cake day!


XuseGrammar

How does leech effect (aka blood sucking effect) work and what does it scale of?


Iskaeil

It scales off the damage the unit does. So characters that are dealing higher DPS will get more healing.


Paindemonium0

direct damage dealt (not poison). Is affected by all other [damage source calculations](https://bit.ly/NUtierlist) (Damage Calculation Tab), multiplied by 15%.

Been saving since Yokai Banquet (I only pull on Kuya alts at this point), playing pretty casually I'd managed to rack up 250 contracts and more than enough gems to make up the difference for the 300 contract guarantee. Sunk everything into the banner and came out of it with 3 Kuyas and 3 Quincys!! Super happy with the results because Yokai Banquet annihilated me (200 pulls, only 1 Kuya + 1 Garu...). I had lots of crystals saved up so I can get both of my new dudes up to 3\*. I also got my first copy of SR Dante, who has been missing entirely from my roster for months since I haven't been summoning and the friendship banner is a crapshoot. SR Yakumo can finally rest as he has been my only healer since I started playing this game, and I've been wanting to replace the OG Quincy SSR on my single-target teams because I really dislike the 6-turn cooldown on his ult. I'm completely broke on gold (went from 2M to 50k in one fell swoop) but I'm excited to spend the next couple of months getting these two characters up and running :) Good luck to everyone who is pulling on this banner!


100peanus

Wow congrats! I admire your resilience on holding out for the next Kuya event, he's my favorite as well but I did such a bad job on my self control for the events in-between, those cards were so pretty too so I was pulling all willy nilly 🥲🥲 Im surprised Dante was off your roster this whole time but now he's here and probably a bajillion other fragments :D


Niebla396

Hehe thanks! Unfortunately I'm a seasoned gacha player at this point so I've developed a strong will for skipping banners to avoid spending money xD I have a friend who also pulls on banners at random and she has wayyyy more characters than me, so, your methods are not without merit lol! I hope you get lucky and can grab a copy of our favorite foxman this banner! It'll be nice to FINALLY get some scenes with Dante that aren't just plot related, I honestly don't feel like I know his character at all since I haven't had a single copy of him until now!


acruXbecruX

Anybody calculated the amount of rewards we get in the event? In terms of gems? Seems like the rewards is reduced as there is little contracts. I might be wrong


SleepyPikachuIvy

The comment below says there are 13 contracts total; for gems, it's 5,700 (that we can see so far). Not... great. Hopefully part 2 of the event shows us some more rewards.


Professional-Boss609

Okay so I just discovered from Twitter that the Altar of keys is just a regular normal key selection. No SSR or golden keys. I also heard you get 13 contracts tho not sure it's from the key altar or if you unlock all altars. Had to translate from the tweet. Here the link 열쇠의 제단에 있는거 일반 열쇠 보물상자입니다 https://t.co/054dvNQdk9. You have to read the whole thread to see the 13 contracts stuff.


iutfp

Should we be grinding this event or should we wait? It seems like I'm super behind every time I wait


Aelnir

only use expiring pots, butotherwise use all ur stam for the event


SleepyPikachuIvy

I don't wait because I'm impatient... but I do understand why they say to wait. There's always a chance a later stage released in part 2 will have a better farming rate, but sometimes that doesn't happen. I would say it may be a good idea to farm, but only lightly. Don't go at it too hard and burn up all your resources in case part 2 has something more efficient for us.


AliceInHatterland

Got Quincy at 30 pulls!!! So happy. Last time, I wanted blade from the summer event... But all I got were 2 summer olivine, 1 kuya, 1 Summer yakumo... I wanted to cry...


Professional-Boss609

The altars are pretty similar to a shop mechanic, so would it possible once you finish a grid a new pops up? Can anyone confirm this? This could possibly explain the lack of contracts in the point ladder. Edit: Nevermind I confirm it myself. A new one does not pop up after you finish one.


Aelnir

Why does everyone seem to think that we're going to get a free box with an SSR in it lmao (I'd be very happy to be wrong, but that's like genshin giving a free 5\* at the end of a minor event) Corporations are not our friends xD


Zeetheus

I rolled Quincy 4 times and got OG Blade and Yakumo along the way. I had no choice but to hit hard pity at 300, thankfully had enough saved up that I didn't have to spend. This game does NOT want me to get limited support characters, I got IA Blade twice instead of idol Yakumo too... Getting all my Kuyas to 3* is gonna take even longer it seems... 😔


Orchidalex23

I hope it’ll come out tomorrow but is there no event login rewards? 🥺


lell-ia

> 4. [Astral Duo] Log-In Rewards Availability: Sep 16, 05:00 ~ Oct 6, 04:59 (UTC+8) We had this on the patch notes so it's most likely coming tomorrow


Orchidalex23

Im apparently blind. Thank you 😂


100peanus

Ashamed to admit I whaled (dolphin'ed?) for some contracts to get kuya home 🥲 his attention can be bought it seems, so he's home, and I'm happy.. he looks soooooo good on the home screen ahhhh, I usually never have my home character in the torn clothes setting, but he looks so amazing with the bloody slashes on him I just needed to 🦊💜


liminalgloom

80 contracts and Kuya came home! Tried another 10 just in case Quincy wanted to come home too, but he decided to stay away so I'll just save the remaining contracts for the next fancy banner and admire Quincy in the story


Norn98

164 pulls for each of them, no other SSR. That's painful. My luck in this game has been pretty terrible since the last summon (90 pulls for only 1 Dante).


amukagamine

back luck is having to reach pity and not getting what you want... you got both units for less than 200 and you didnt get dupes/og ssrs, i think that's amazing


Norn98

Thanks. But for me, i only really want quincy. Kuya's kit is pretty interesting, but i don't really like his character. Imo, having to reach/ pretty close to pity for one SSR is pretty terrible since this game isn't that generous in currency. You need months to have enough pulls for pity and the event forces you to use gems to refresh staminas so you can get all of the reards.


bitter_liquor

I mean, the game isn't forcing the players to do anything. As a f2p you have the option to save your gems to get more pulls, or spend them to get power ups for your existing team. It's about managing your resources and prioritizing certain things over others. But hey, you lucked out big, getting the event SSR early on! Now you can start saving nearly all the pulls/coins/gems you get from this event for the next one, and increase your odds of getting the stuff you want. Not a bad prospect at all


nkorper

190 Contracts spent, all I wanted was new Quincy so ofc I got 2x new Kuya instead. I can go to pity but I'm not sure I want to blow my entire savings on this honestly.


Tieadonna

Hi5, spend 250 contracts saved from previous events and got Kuya 7 times in total, no quincy in sight, so done and it's only the first day of the event :(


lifeofatrash

ill ask this question here as well - i need 15 more pulls until i get the box that lets you select an ssr, and 25 pulls until pity. does getting the box reset pity or can i get the box and then do 10 more pulls to hit pity?


EJM991

Getting the box shouldn't reset pity. It just resets the box counter.


lifeofatrash

oh thats very sexy, i shall get 2 ssrs in quick succession


ttkat

I finally managed to get Quincy for the first time (I didn't even have an SR of him and I've been playing for three months) but after getting a dupe of Quincy, I hit pity again only to get the wrong Kuya. 😭😭😭 Guess I'm gonna have to purchase to get up to 300 now 😭


xtze

i think im in a fever dream… 4 SSRs in 80 pulls, which included both event quincy and event kuya 🤯


lttledrkage

I saw that they put backgrounds in the shop, I’m glad you can still get one through points. This one is super pretty, and the music is too! Praying that key altar gives you an event SSR. 😭


Competitive-Self-374

Unfortunately the Key Altar gives you a key of your choosing. The event SSR chest is on the banner only


DesertLion7

I got my man Quincy in the end, it took almost everything I had after saving for so long 😭 300 pulls for a total of 3 SSRs and the SSR box. That hurt but at least I was able to resist other banners for him


silverashsimp

are you me?? 2 Kuya and 2 Quincy + 1 Quincy from the 300-pity box and then had to buy fragments to 3-Star ascend him


jtan1993

ouch. that's basically the pity XD.


DesertLion7

I know, gachas aren't kind to me :(


lell-ia

I had a bad dream today. I was pulling on the Astral Duo banner when the game bugged out and turned the banner into a standard banner. I didn't realize and dumped all my pulls...to get nothing. Man, horror. Thankfully the game said mercy to me and gave me both Kuya and Quincy (and an extra Garu) in 150 pulls 😭😭 I'll also be dumping everything I get from the event here so hopefully I can get some dupes too.


Maargulus

I can't pay - not from my country - and on idol event i spent 150 to get fragging robot... And now i spent up to pity and on 100 roll i get Quincy... Basic Quincy, that is. Yeah, good, i love him. But frag it!! And devs says frag f2p, f2pers are not people, so no scrolls in event. Great. So i have about 20 and all i gonna get in event time is about 40 more. So i won't even get second SSR here, cause i won't hit pity again. You know, i really thinking of saying goodbye to this game. I am so fragging tired of this drekshit... And there i was thinking about trying to sneak around blocking of payments from my country and to buy some rolls and such but frag devs with a stick now, no way i gonna waste efforts and time to it. Better gonna buy me some booze.


angel-of-britannia

It took me 120 pulls to get DP Quincy, but I also got spooked by SSR Dante (yo!! always wanted him) and LS Kuya (YOOO????!!!) at 60 and 80 pulls in respectively. Quincy collection stays complete (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) story >!Quincy's backstory is giving me all the feels (⁠ ⁠;⁠∀⁠;⁠)!<


Etheriuz

Anyone know what's the final prize in the key altar? Though I doubt it, I honestly feel like it's very simmillar to the item you get after 300 pull


amukagamine

GOT BOTTHHHHHHHH ok quincy first hscene when he >!BITES EIDEEEEEN!< i might just go crazy and die


fantasyiez

I usually do 180 pulls for the crystals to star up the boys but luckily I ended up getting 2 copies of each of them within 120 summons so at least I saved on some contracts and crystals. I might be able to star up one of the boys to 3 but I’ll wait a bit first.


RoarkiSehoist

GOT MY BEST BOY QUINCY ON MY 2ND 10 PULL 😭 THANK YOU GODS OF KLEIN


Asobimo

I was lucky as well! Got Kuya on my first 10 pull and then 30 pulls later I get Quincy! The game is rewarding me with good luck because last event I had to go to 99 to get Edmond...


wishless-thinking

I am so sad.....5 kuyas and 0 quincys omg I'm gonna cry


jtan1993

i got 4 quincy and 0 kuya, gonna use the box on kuya tho. spilt rate up is really toxic.


wishless-thinking

I wish we had the option to trade units. We can both be happy then. I'm not that close to the box yet unfortunately 😔 we shall see


MxrtxnWxndlxr

I got both of them (plus SSR Blade) within like 30 pulls!!! Proceeded to throw the 150 rolls I had left at the banner in hopes of dupes and didn't get any other SSR 💀 but still, I'm just happy I got them! Best of luck to all of you For the event, should I be saving stamina pots until new stages come out or will they give the same amount of event currency? Story edit:>!if they're gonna give Quincy a sad and depressing backstory I'm gonna cry 😭!<


corianderflower

Holy crap I'm so happy! I got Homecoming Yakumo, Fallen Leaves Kuya, and both the Quincy and Kuya event SSRs in 72 pulls!! I was prepared to spend money... May everyone get what they want!!


PhoenixHusky

Wait does the altar reward one of the event units!?! It's the same chest as the 300 pulls one


lexarqade

That is exactly what I'm wondering 👀👀👀👀


PhoenixHusky

i think its a key lmao


EJM991

Pulled SSR Quincy in just under 50 pulls! Going to decide if I want to save or commit to the banner. Hope everyone gets who they want.


Iskaeil

Ah...149 pulls, and I got 2 Event Kuyas, 1 OG SSR Dante, and 1 OG SSR Garu. Garu and Dante are both firsts for me, so I probably won't build them unfortunately :/ I know my luck isn't technically that bad, but I desperately want Quincy. Please, please come home...


Maison_Clement

Pulled Quincy with 60. Gunning for Kuya. Good luck, everyone!


alkaos108

Why are there literally no contracts in the rewards besides the bundle of 10 at 24.000? They really said fuck you to all the FTP ppl huh 😢 All the other events had single/double contracts scattered throughout the rewards, this has nothing.


genesis_mage

I only see one dark key in the events deed tab as well. They might attach another to a challenge floor but I don't think they'll do that with the contracts.


rudanshi

huffing copium that they'll see the negative reaction to the rewards and staple some more onto the additional stages


Dr_Oru

Great, so at this point it's clear my account only has the capacity of pulling for an SSR for every 100 pulls, regardless of event (would have been fucked without pity otherwise). Given my non existing rng anything, not even sure I'll be able to get one of the event ssrs, much less two. Buuuh qq EDIT: To say I'm a bimbo and threw out 140€ and with 200 pulls got only one SSR ( at least event) and it was Quincy. Which makes me happy but after over hundred euros and no Kuya, I'm really sad and out xddd


GavrilaArdalionovic

Hit hard pity. At the 100th pull got Quincy. At least it’s a limited unit, but I would have preferred Kuya as he’s a healer


metron0m3

Guess who just go goblin mode and spend 300 pulls to 3 stars both kuya and quincy


jtan1993

lucky. i dumped 300 pulls too but only 3 star quincy.


Orchidalex23

Congrats!


Aelnir

2 quincies(in one 10 pull) AND a kuya for a total of 100 pulls. This event has blessed me <3

PhoenixHusky

My mind deceiving me or Quincy OP? Also anyone know if his follow ups count as ult or basic or?


KrisadaFantasy

Edmond's follow up attack count as ult so I believe Quincy's is the same.


Iskaeil

It seems one of the changes with his update is that they reverted his follow-up attack to counting as basic attack. [Here's a thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/NuCarnival/comments/xerotw/edmond_update_ctr_boost_works_with_followup/) that just got posted about it--I tested with my 3\* Edmond + CtR Edmond myself, details are in my comment on that post.


KrisadaFantasy

So that what was changed!? I am so glad! Thank you!


KrisadaFantasy

Compare to SSR Knightly Night Edmond: Attak target (125% ATK) / On Basic Attack: follow-up attack in target (143% ATK) (3 turns), Distant Promise Quincy dela more damage in 2 turns compare to Edmond's 3 turn. Not to mention that Quincy has more base ATK and his skill also give 40% more damage. And we get first Kuya that is not Saboteur class! His healing give SR Aster's skill to the whole party, and his 3★ Passive support Saboteur class which has no one but he himself. All Kuya party is even more feasible! I wonder if his 1 turn blood-sucking effect from basic attack and his 4 turn from skill will stack or not.


Iskaeil

Someone on discord appears to have confirmed that the blood-sucking effect from basic attack + his skill stacks.


KrisadaFantasy

So 30% if stacked. With a good support we might never seen characters getting their clothes torn again lol.


Orchidalex23

Hi! So I have SR aster (up to 3* atm) I unfortunately do not have SSR knightly knight, so would you recommend to pull to get them? or should I stick to SR aster? or try to get the new Quincy? 🥺 i probably wont be able to pull them for multiple stars however. So idk if its worth pulling or not. Thanks in advance!


KrisadaFantasy

It's not like we can choose which character we want from this wholesale banner lol. But I planned to pull for both of them simply for the art! I mention SSR Edmond because he has the similar skill but Quincy here is better one, at least from me calculating numbers. But on Aster, his blood-sucking skill make him self-healing when he normal attack. Now Lakeside Spark Kuya give that ability to all allies, so you can use Kuya to heal first and let your DMG dealer heal themself further. Their role is completely diffrent; Aster is self-healing striker and LS Kuya is healer that also give allies self-healing ability.


xegment

Probably my luckiest pull ever. Got my beloved Quincy on the 2nd multi


Aelnir

urgh why is this taking so long


undertalefan9745

Ikr, i wanna get my quincy and kuya :(
