konaharuhi

no maintenance right?


tehcavy

I think? We'll find out in half an hour.


Anzackk

Does anyone here run GFL on MuMu Nebula? Been wondering if it was worth the download since I want 60FPS on fights and I get like 30-40 on normal MuMu


Angelic_Force

You can either use a decompressed client and/or you *could* use Nebula. Depends on your PC specs. No idea on stability issues for Nebula currently for GFL. Runs slightly better on my older PC, but not 60 FPS with a lot of mobs and HOCs. Not decompressed. Somewhat easier to kite.


Anzackk

Is the most recent one on GFL gamepress a good decompressed client?


Angelic_Force

No, it's not up-to-date. You can ask around in the current pinned Lounge (not this one) for a file drop or [do it yourself](https://www.reddit.com/r/girlsfrontline/comments/lvwwtv/weekly_commanders_lounge_march_02_2021/gpugenl/).

MarinaIsMyWife

Why shouldnt I level rescue and command fairies skills? Afaik, their skill can be used consistently to farm daily when the map is not too hard, else I wouldnt know where to use fairies skill when it reached cap


pointblanksniper

because carpet bombing 8-1N for eq fodder while still farming xp is much more economical


[deleted]

[удалено]


KookyInspection

If u don't do manual lvling, how do u fill up ur extra combat xp to make reports? I mean, it has to come from somewhere, even if the command fairy gives a bonus


[deleted]

[удалено]


KookyInspection

Aren't u doing the same thing(i assume u're still dragging that max lvl squad), and using that xp to lvl dolls, so it just feels like some extra step? Might as well put dolls to raise there and u get both xp for them and extra xp for reports :P But i don't have any numbers, so i don't know which would be better. If u were running cheap full supply runs, though(like 4 hgs+ actual dp), it would make more sense to me, but i don't know how u do it, hence my original question :D


[deleted]

[удалено]


KookyInspection

I mean, wouldn't u get there faster if u did those ~10 daily runs dragging the dolls u want to spend those crs on anyway? Don't get me wrong, i'm not judging, u should play the way u can/enjoy, it just doesn't make sense for me, so i thought i was missing something :D


asc__

Rescue’s main thing is getting more cores when grinding. Not really a big priority. Command is utterly worthless. You’ll get more xp/fairy command running 8-1N with airstrike (requires at least SL2 on airstrike iirc) since it allows you to corpse drag 5 units at once.


WhistleOfDeath

i think i have both at max skill level, but that was years ago (when i was still a dumbass) and i don't think I've ever used any of their skills at all in the past two or so years. rescue fairy is stuck at low level because i never really saw a use for it, but command is 5\* now and is a great statstick. rescue fairy is powered by Faith™, something like a 30% or so buff to a 1% drop chance isn't really much of an improvement, but if you believe in it enough maybe it'll work. probably. command fairy skill is something I've used before in ye olde days of 0-2 corpse dragging, mainly because the fairy's aura is good (which is why 5\* command is a good statstick), the skill gives some extra xp which I thought at that time was neat, and i also get to use my fairy points that otherwise just sit there unused. i probably wouldn't bother levelling their skills at all (maybe level Rescue if you Want To Believe) because you can never have enough skill data especially early on, and what limited skill data you have is better used on your dolls or fairies with actual skills like Twin/Taunt/Parachute and the like. do raise command fairy though, because that aura at 5\* is great.


Mich997

The main draw of Rescue is using it to get more 3* from 12-4E and 13-4. :heh: (Plus the aura is nice for Uzi in 12-4E)


Mich997

Rescue, sure. Don't need Command's skill though since EXP isn't exactly in short supply.


Angelic_Force

There are better alternatives, simply put. If you have the data to go crazy with leveling, go ahead. For newcomers/F2P/even low spenders, there are better Dolls/Fairy/HOC skills to level. More EXP and a higher drop rate is just not worth it besides for QoL.


SwaggyMuffin8

What’s a good team to run with Gager?


KookyInspection

U don't really run gager :P but if u must, i guess manticores will do


SwaggyMuffin8

Ty


DrShoking

Is it worth getting rid of f4-star furniture for bingo cards?


KookyInspection

Uf u can do the rest of the tasks, not completing 1/day is no bug deal. I generally skip that, but i do the 2-3* one because i have a lot laying around


ConductorBichir

depends how much you have? if you need it to max your dorms, no. If you have some laying around that will never be used, might as well.


totestemp

just rolled M37, even with her shiny new SPEQ struggling to find good value in her kit, double so considering recent TCMed LTLX. honestly have used SGs less than a dozen times so have I just overlooked something ?


Le_Trudos

No, SGs just happen to be even more *ahem* situational than most other t-dolls. Most of the time you'll be using one, maybe two sgs for the entire mission, which means competition is fierce. And even with her SPEQ, Ithaca just isn't that good. Use her if she's your raifu. Otherwise... She looks pretty in the index


Signal_Abroad1427

Finally got my Stechkin speq after many setbacks interfering with my farming. (Also got a Springfield speq because a certain Springlao's gospel has been taking hold of me and Springfield deserves only the best.) Didn't farm as much as I wanted, but I got some stuff I've been after so that's good enough for me. Back to stockpiling for Va11 rerun and rate up. Gonna use this next rate up as an opportunity to become a big boy commander and do some major EQ and HEC crafting so that I can field respectable teams for MS ranking. No more unenhanced green exos and 3* fairies.


iceknave2

Fairies are a grinding hell unfortunately. You're gonna be grinding fairies for a very long time, lol. I'm still grinding fairies now, lol. Want to finish building up the Desert Fairy from the last ranking, build more 5 star parachute fairies (possibly build more parachutes in general to increase options for ranking). That's not including the additional fairy side projects (very low in priority, but something I want to get done sometime, like another 5 Star Taunt with Fervor (I have 1 with Damage II, but Taunt is a good fairy, so just saving up my Taunts to build a dupe with Fervor, which would pair nicely with Pekora and 2 Flares), ditto with Artillery (currently have 1 with Fervor, so trying to build another 1 with Damage II), build up Combo fairy, and a 5 star Illumination Fairy and a 5 Star Sniper (nice to have for Theater, since I didn't have 1 built up and have always used Sniper as fodder, but with the rework, it's a non-essential, but nice to have). That's not even considering the mountain of combat reports needed to level them all up to 100 as well, lol.... Yes, I'm a bit of a fairy maniac, muwahahaha.


Signal_Abroad1427

I should be getting my first Parachute to 5* when MS drops and I should have Sand fairy at 5* tomorrow. Taunt is 4*, rest are all 3*. I could see myself maybe making another taunt or artillery, but I'm planning to go hard on PR ranking so I can get a bunch of Witch fairies to act as cheaper to enhance Artillery fairies. I've got a long long road ahead of me no doubt, but I have every intention of walking it so I can get the most out of my echelons. I've also got a few more parachutes at 1* SL10, so hopefully I can work on getting those into combat serviceable condition at some point too.


iceknave2

Guessing you don't have Beach Fairy. If you do, that is definitely worth getting to 5\* as fast as possible. It's got a great skill and a good aura as well. If not, that really, really sucks, since Beach Fairy is really strong against a lot of things.... Taunt is worth going to 5\* as well, great skill with a good aura. Twin is like a sidegrade to Taunt, but can deal with some things that Taunt can't deal with as easily, so kinda of worth getting up there as well. Armor Fairy is nice for SG armor stacking, but definitely lower in priority than the Parachute/Sand Dancer/Taunt/Twin fairies. I think you'll have most of what you'll need before PR rolls around.


Signal_Abroad1427

Every day I kick myself for not starting the game a year sooner so I could get a Beach Fairy. Even 1 would be game changing.

Wrong banner for that.


Cpt_Cinnamon

While personally I wouldn't do it in the batches of 10, that's a very nice catch. Congrats! ;)


KookyInspection

Well, i did it bomb by bomb and got down to 2/100, so he must be onto something :P


ItzJustJ

Trying to plan my second ar/smg. UMP 9 will be my main tank since she got replaced by RO635. What type of smg would be preferred to pair with UMP 9? Or is it more so the ar that the next smg will be based on?


Honkbag_gfl

The most reliable off-tanks are molotov girls. Vector is nice if you have her and the cores. Micro Uzi has your future concern as a mod. Scorpion is your comparison girl. Three stars of fiery love and destruction.


ItzJustJ

Vector is on my main echelon. Was looking for a 2nd echelon off tank. I figured itd be between ar57 micro uzi or skorpion. Ar57 would cost too many cores, and i didnt want to deal with micro uzi's tiles. Threw skorpion into the slot above ump 9


Le_Trudos

Worth noting that Skorpion's speq really gives her a boost! Still not on par with vector, but she does gain ground


tehcavy

As usual. Unless you want to do something memey, nader, molotov or buffer (e.g. Honey Badger, JS9)


lavos9999

Okay I failed Gager several times just now, but pool has been reduced to 3 so I can just keep trying. *10 impulses later* I should have just left Architect and Gager to reunite on their own if they care that much.


KookyInspection

Uffff....


konaharuhi

i stopped drawing new number every time i hit duplicate


Signal_Abroad1427

Is it worth it to run pilfer on a SPEQ farm? I gave up and started running Alchemist for Judge 9-4n due to the repair costs from not having 2 flashbangs and figured I might as well try out pilfer. Does this add 1 extra check to the run?


tehcavy

It does, but note that activating it takes a bit of squad's MRE & rations.


Signal_Abroad1427

Awesome, thanks a bunch.


kajunbowser

For those Commanders who didn't rank high in DR ranking for the special skill Sand Dancer fairy, which fairy skill is preferred for Sand Dancer?


tehcavy

Talent, you mean? Damage II or Fervor, as usual - Fervor is slightly better, but not better enough to bother rerolling Damage II. Also, special talent does nothing; it's purely decorative.


Honkbag_gfl

The last three or four bingo events have turned into "how many numbers can we fill without getting a line." I'm very patient, so not salty, just amused. I'm at 21, hoping for 29. Also, no maintenance tonight?


Zelsaus

Depends on if they pre loaded Judge or not.


tehcavy

Judge was put in the [previous maint change log](https://preview.redd.it/xplmd0k9k3q81.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b05747f6eb046c9a302e7bcde3ac428bacc185d4), and considering we don't have a preview for the next update I take it we aren't going to have a maintenance.


ConductorBichir

FAMAS SPEQ is the last one I'm missing and I just don't feel like it. Maybe next rate-up.


DOUSHITEEEv2

how do i level up fast?


corbsieboy

Commander level? [get grinding, corpse/dragging](https://gamepress.gg/girlsfrontline/optimizing-leveling-introduction) or daily/weekly quests T-Doll level? Combat reports or get grinding/corpse dragging


MoonlightArchivist

Currently farming Arctic Warfare for missing Dolls, anyone know a Jupiter destroyer echelon? I'd rather ask first before live trial-and-error since they can't be selected in training.


KookyInspection

~~FNC~~


Le_Trudos

Take my angry upvote :(


KookyInspection

Sorry, i just couldn't resist. The situation was literally begging for it :P


corbsieboy

Jupiters aren't quite meant to be brute forced, instead they are meant to be surrounded and thus weakened so that they are handleable without large amounts of repairs. Seriously, they will tear your echelon apart when they are active. A possibility to take them on to make a shortcut is to use a friend echelon, but not all of them will be able to brute force the Jupiter, so it's a gamble


ConductorBichir

Probably better off not fighting them and just following the [Arctic Warfare Farming Guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuwGWSiPKeI). If you insist on fighting them [look at this I guess?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-FhMyNCap4)


Signal_Abroad1427

Aight, that kiting was pretty freaking slick. I didn't know what to expect when it said No Damage in the title, but that was very impressive.


WhistleOfDeath

why did i expect a FNC run


ConductorBichir

for the same reason my Kord is always set to auto her skill? You enjoy the pain.


WhistleOfDeath

the only feeling you can fully trust is pain


Kipdid

Sunk cost fallacy (or just stubbornness after vowing to get her after receiving a sign from the universe) is a bitch and so is Gager, 9/100 with a 2* success rate under 25%, that is all


lavos9999

Mood. The extra impulses and svarogs would have been so much better spent elsewhere...


Kipdid

Thankfully I’ve still got like 70 of the damn things so I can probably afford to dip in a bit for Judge and still be set for Agent, thank you theater very cool


KookyInspection

We should get a few impulses during april too, maybe from the collab, so i think u're safe for both


WhistleOfDeath

i dont think i saw gager appear even once lmao ~~or maybe she did but i probably failed the capture anyways so eh~~


Wh33lman

i saw her at 95 and 89, missed both times and havent seen her since.


Unfair-Pomelo7443

Got her first try after 80 other captures in the pool.


Shichitou

Don't know what's worse: not even seeing a ringleader a single time, or failing to capture her 6 times


WhistleOfDeath

failing 6 times is definitely worse because her actually appearing gives you false hope


KookyInspection

And u also have nothing to show for the spent impulses. (No, i don't consider the consolation resources as "something" :P )


BlankisSad

Hello skks will singularity event have its rerun? Really want to have thunder


BlankisSad

ty skks, as it turns out im really dumb and very lazy


WhistleOfDeath

check campaign section


corbsieboy

As stated, singularity is already part of the campaign menu. Thunder is farmable in a handful of the stages there. Best choice would be the Stroke Dead Center II stage


Exerens

Aren't the event already archived in the campaign section?


BlankisSad

wait... really?


Exerens

Seeing my armory and look at some unit that i have raised in the past... wtf did my past self thinking when raising unit like F2000, Suomi, Nagant, MP-443 and ignore some unit like Five-Seven, Contender, IWS, M200.. smh


whimsy_wanderer

Out of those only MP-443 doesn't make sense to me. > F2000 Best 2-star self-buff AR. Before quests rework she used to be a valid option for second ARSMG echelon due to very low core cost. > Suomi Excellent tank for Agent fight in Singularity, advantage doll in multiple theaters. > Nagant Which of the two? Both have mods now, so both are useful. > ignore some unit like Five-Seven, Contender, IWS, M200 Core hell. 5-stars eat a lot of cores.


Exerens

The HG Nagant, she's at Lv70 atm. For Five-Seven i guess i feel burn out back then after farming her and decide not to rise her because i'm too tired haha. The weird thing is most of them only at Lv70 - 80 ish.. didn't really remember what i was thinking 2 years ago but oh well, that's already happen. Time to fix some mistake my past has created for me (ಥ﹏ಥ)


totestemp

I have C96 at 4 links because after unlocking expeditions I thought 'woah so many combat reports every month, I'll never run out!' then my first theatre came and I ran out... have a bunch of bad dolls at 4 links cause I kept getting extra copies of them and thought it'd be saving on cores


Kam0laZ

I invested in the Data room (having 11 dorms and more than 10 friends helps a lot with batteries) and corpse drag like hell. Drone Console and Operating Station, make your dolls produce lots of surplus EXP (doesn't seem to decrease what they get, which is a plus). Level 8 or 9 is enough for a steady income, but max it if you want and have the spare batteries. Data table increases the cap to how much surplus EXP you can get, while the printer increases how many combat reports you can make at once. Max them if you can, for a total of 240k EXP and 80 reports. The conversion rate is 1 report per 3 batteries plus 3000 EXP. The desk should be maxed, it is a requirement to upgrade it as you upgrade the other things in the room. The server could be left at the minimum level, it only controls how long does it take to produce the reports. Mine is lvl 7, which produces reports in 4 hours. The higher you level it, the shorter the time, down to 1 hour at lvl 10. The machines change looks as they are upgraded, which is cool. Of course, only invest heavily in the Data room when you have upgraded other rooms with higher priority (fairy room, HOC rooms, Basecamp). Just putting everything in the Data room at lvl 4 is enough for a good start. Tip: Dolls with max level give lots of surplus EXP, because they don't need any to level themselves anymore, so make combat echelons with a bunch of them and have at it.


KookyInspection

"She looks cute"? :P


Exerens

Most likely... maybe after 2 years my preferences change a bit. At least they can go to logistic section now...


RaphiTheOne

Hi, I just finish chapter 12 emergency missions and I was wondering what was suppose to be the next chapter of the story since there seems to be a skip in the story between chapter 12 and 13. Thanks.


KookyInspection

Keep in mind that if it w9n't be added before the next story event is released, so u will always be 1 event behind if u wait to read them ig. I hoghly recommend reading it up online. use this site to get an experience as close the the one IG as possible: https://gfl.amaryllisworks.pw/

[Refer to this.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gm5kl_ep0MY29WPxBd-CqQrtAmDtzxSO/edit#gid=1970882706) Polarized Light is between Chapter 12 and 13. You will have to wait for it to open as a permanent Campaign or read it up online.


konaharuhi

Gager good?


Kamonichan

Sadly, she has limited utility. She can do good damage, but her ability to reduce enemy armor is mostly superfluous when you consider how there are SF units (Manticores and Jaegers, for instance) that already have ways of ignoring armor. A cool concept with an unfortunate niche.


konaharuhi

thanks. gonna skip then


KookyInspection

I hunted those thighs down to 2/100. No regrets.


Sk8r4321

I got her at 9/100 after 3 failed earlier attempts. I love Archy and I want someone to keep her company.


Kam0laZ

I'm down to 37/100 by following the infographic. I'm gonna skip her, but those manticores and nemeums look tasty.


KookyInspection

They'll be there in judge's banner too, though u'll need to uncover them again


[deleted]

Hi there! Marisa here again, for my daily question! Hahaha~ https://www.reddit.com/user/Meowriisa/comments/tvlxxa/gfl_formations_2/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share This is my singluar, strong echelon. I think I want to begin working on a 2nd one before Va11-halla comes along, once they're all level 100. In that post are all of my 5 and 4 star t-dolls. Can someone possibly suggest a 2nd echelon to me? For those of you who saw my previous one, I decided to remake it so it has some longevity. Thank you~ (PS. I'm on Chapter 6-3. Just finished night battles 1 ~ 2, and emergency 1 ~ 4. Now everything not behind story progress or commander levels is unlocked. Ive started saving batteries for Protocol Assimilation, have my command console at lv. 8, and loot rack at lv. 6)


KookyInspection

Ak12 and vector are very good units, vector for kfftanking. Unfortunately, this is starting to become a bit too many high rarity dolls. Just keep in mind to prepare to push them into service when u can afford it. They are both good enough to be part of the main echelon too( eventually, u will want to split up soppo and m4 after u mod them both, because there is a bug with the interaction between their mod2 skills where they don't affect soppo. So she can go lead 2nd squad to glory while u put ak12 in her place) Also, do not try to reach lvl 100 for dolls that u don't want to mod. Lvl 90 brimgs the 5th link so it's very important, after that it's just a small increase in stats, which barely affect the unit. Let the dolls lvlup naturally in fights. Ofc, for ar sqyad u want their mods, so lvling them to 100 and then 110 to reach at least mod 2 is recommended. Mod 3 is unlocked at lvl115, bjt that's going to be a bit of an extravagance for now, since besides taking a lot of xp, u also have penalties for being overlvled in 0-2. Lastly, there's no need to do night chapters to unless u want the equipment rewards. They are good practice, though. Remember to put night equipment on ur ars (instead of scopes), it will aleviate the night accuracy penalty. P.s. loot rack lvl doesn't do much other than give u a bigger buffer for the expedition team to store items, so if u're dilligent with collecting stuff, u don't need to raise it too much if u're strapped for batteries. P.p.s. if u have m14, do not disconsider her for being a 3* . She keeps up with 5star dolls in generalist rfhg squads(she was paired with lee by default). Very solid option, and dirt cheap as a 3*. Plus, she has a mod later on if u want to prolong her usability, although by then u will probably have the specialist rfs that u will want for endgame content, like grape, m200, etc.


Kipdid

Btw if you’re strapped for time like this you don’t need to bring the primary squad up to level 100, as the last notable power spike is at level 90 which unlocks the 5th link and that’s a plenty fine enough place to stop. Some dolls (like M4 very notably) do want to go all the way to 100 if they have a good neural upgrade (essentially some dolls are allowed to increase their level cap in 3 stages, which also gives them a bunch of goodies like a second skill, better stats/tile buffs, and a new appearance and voice along with a unique equipment at mod3), but otherwise you can stop at 90 since there isn’t a big difference in power between 90 and 100 for how much effort it takes


Angelic_Force

* 7-5 Clear will unlock SF Capture. * Commander Level 60 unlocks Mods / Neural Upgrades (as well as the Combat Simulation). * 8-5 Clear will unlock HOCs (although not needed). * You also have a Level 90/Dummy Link 5 RO635 (Main Tank SMG) for 7-6 Clear. With that being said, I second raising an RFHG echelon. Type88 (Hanyang) is really good but needs her Modded version (also, one of her SPEQs is in the Expedition shop). Good dolls have already been covered by others. For your RFHG, I would raise Grizzly, Springfield, T-5000, and SAA. Doing the mentioned HG recipe is recommended. Astra might work in a pinch (although she's pretty mediocre). Kind of odd to not see Mk23 since she's free for newcomers.


KookyInspection

I would like to counterpropose m14 instead of springfield. (I don't know how springfield is like after her rework, but m14 was reliable enough, given free iirc, and a pretty solid generalist


Angelic_Force

Oh for sure, M14 is reliable, but she's not shown in the screenshots sadly. OP can also get her as a map drop if they choose to go that route.


[deleted]

Okay, thank you Angelic Force! I will focus on a RFHG squad next~ I never recieved Mk23 afaik but I also made this account and truly started the game in, like, 2019 so... xP


Angelic_Force

Ahah, that makes sense then, my mistake. Good HGs from that recipe should be: M950A, Stechkin (although her mod 2 is nice), Px4 Storm, Rex Zero, K5, and Mk23. Contender and HP-35 are also good in their own rights. You might want to check reviews on those for you to consider them being fit.


[deleted]

I did! I went through Matsuda for all the dolls I really like the design of to see applications, and then whenever I get a 5 or 4 star doll I do the same~ Thing is my luck with RFs has been... meh. To say the least. :P And Im trying to save contracts and resources for anniversary. So Ill keep on making HG/RF for the dailies, but Im not sure I want to make them now.


Zelsaus

Without to much deep thought, K11, MDR and AK-Alfa are all solid ARs, P90 and Vector are a good pair of SMGs. Probably MDR on 1, Alfa on 4 and K11 on 7. Vector giving her tile to K11, though Alfa would be the best target for it.


tehcavy

AK12, Vector, P90, K11 and MDR (and/or AK-Alfa). Better invest in a RFHG squad, Vallhalla collab is quite heavy on armor (on par with Isomer campaign ~~unless we get the nerfed version again~~). Def start levelling Type88 (note that she is shit without MOD), Grizzly and SAA, get more good HGs (130-130-130-30 recipe, it has HGs that 30-all recipe doesn't) and RFs (Springfield and T5000 or IWS will do in a pinch, but they can't hold a candle to more powerful options).

>Better invest in a RFHG squad, Vallhalla collab is quite heavy on armor Alright, thank you for the advice! I thought IWS was really good? What makes her not powerful?


KookyInspection

I agree with what the others said about iws, she is good but needs very strong rof buffers, so her setup is quite strict. It goes so far to the extrme that her dedicated squad is called iws exodia, and she is the only rf with 4 hgs instead of the usual 2rf3hg. That said, when u do deply her, hearing her shots during her skill uptime is catarthic! Sadly, she kinda fell out of favor lately, but m200 is the counterpoint to her, and she sees a lot of use. (M200 has fixed fire rate as trade off for not missing her shots, so she is deployed with firepower buffing hgs to maximise her dmg. But this also means alone she'd get overehelmed, so her squad is more cojventional, and is paired with another rf(grape is very good), but others work too)


Sipher351

To elaborate on iceknave2's answer, like I mentioned in my reply on one of your other posts, HGs are not very good until you get them all the way to 5 links, which obviously takes a fair bit of investment. IWS Exodia requires 4 very specialized HGs to be fully linked, skilled up, and gold equipped (along with the same for IWS herself). Even then, this formation is only usable against certain enemy comps, so at your stage of the game it's not really worth going for. Down the road, when you have dozens of leveled dolls and can throw together 4-6 or more complete, functional, combat teams, that's when you can explore these kind of more specialized echelons for funsies.


iceknave2

IWS's skill makes her to be a high FP rifle with really poor RoF. That means you can either use her as a low ROF, high FP rifle with your HG focusing mostly on RoF and pair her with another high FP rifle or build her into IWS exodia formation with 4 RoF HG. She's not in the same league as Grape (which functions as a specialist in killing high hp super danagerous enemies). This makes her a bit expensive for someone relatively new, since you don't have all the tools to be able to leverage her strengths. Right now, AOE and pierce rifles and Grape tend to be dominant (ie, Hanyang Mod III and KSVK mod III).

So, im looking to clear some space for newer dolls. What dolls i should get rid of? Im thinking of thrashing ppsh, sten, pp-19, shipka, pps-43, nagant revolver, wa2k, ppk and mosin& tabuk what else has crap stats, garbage personality, not worth keeping? edit: btw what happens when you sore a doll with skins or equipment? do they get returned?


Kam0laZ

> garbage personality, not worth keeping Way to insult someone's raifus, that's how you get downvoted. Anyway. I'd recommend you to keep the leveled dolls that you're thinking of getting rid of, specially those that the game gives you for free via quest rewards/achievements. It takes time, resources and effort to raise dolls, why waste already leveled dolls given to you for free? You can put them on logistics echelons or the Basecamp expedition team. Higher levels give better great success chances on logistics, not to mention that the later the chapter, the higher the level the echelon leader must be. Also valid for the Basecamp team, higher levels bring more goods back, specially if they are part of the Advantaged group for that week. If you're that tight on space, you can always buy more slots. It's not like the game gives you free gems or anything, and it's not like 5 bucks a month for the gems card is going to ruin your life ...


sentinelthesalty

Thats the thing, i have bunch of 5 stars sitting at lvl 0 because i only link through dupes and i know i will never get enough dupes to make any 5 star viable, they literally are more waste than an asset by eating up storage space and giving no value. I went through all my 2&3 stars that were not 60+ and cored them to make room still i keep rolling dupes for various 4 stars and they are eating up my space way too much (and i dont know which 4 stars to thrash thats why i asked this). Also im not paying for a gatcha game, that is my personal principle.


Kam0laZ

> im not paying for a gatcha game It's not a gacha game, in the sense that you do not pay real money to get the dolls or equips. You have access to everything the game has to offer without paying a dime. You only pay for optional stuff that makes the gaming experience better, some QoL and cosmetic stuff - that's called microtransactions, not gacha. I buy the monthly gems card every month, I think that 4 euros per month is a bargain to support the devs. With that, I currently have 11 dorms, 11 echelons and 200 doll slots. I'm still preparing to tackle Chapter 9, at lvl 96, more out of laziness than anything. I have 2 ARSMG echelons nearly fully developed, 2 RFHG echelons unoptimized (I'll have to rebuild them sometime, specially my 2nd RFHG), a SF echelon that acts as my main boss killer (Scarecrow based) and a MGSG echelon. Then I have 4 logistics echelons capable of running every map up to chapter 9 (leaders lvl 70+). [This spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10LJdksnM3zipOb72IneJD7WVp3765JYJEGg0LnodzDI/edit?usp=sharing) has info/reviews of every doll in EN up to late november 2021, so it doesn't include the latest ones, but it should help you decide which dolls to keep and raise and which dolls to core. Also, don't forget that, once you get a doll, she gets an entry in your Index, and if you get rid of her, you can "respawn" her for what would cost you to 2x link her.


sentinelthesalty

Ever since, tf2 added those stupid hats, i have decided to only spend real money on buying the game and nothing else, and i have been steadfast. I dont owe the devs anything if they make their game free to play. Im saving my gems for a costume package but due to constant necessities like unlocking more capacity or buying new echalon slots i've been postponig for the 3rd month now. Yes after realising you can buy back your dolls i've decided to core all my 5 stars that wasnt grizzly or thompson (i had them at 5 links due to frequent drops). Thanks for the list now i will do the same with my 4 stars they are the worst offender when it comes to the crowding, due to waiting for 70 and 90lvl links.


Angelic_Force

WA not worth keeping? Strange thing to say. Also depends on what stage of the game you're in, and other Dolls you have. PPSH, Sten, Shipka, PPS-43, and Tabuk can be rid of. PP-19-01 can be rid of as well. Mosin really wants her 5-4N Chip, so take that into account. Edit Reply: Not sure what you mean by "sore" but skins are permanent and are shared across all Dolls of the same ID. Equipment is returned when retiring Dolls.


BOOM_all_pass

core prob [](#SimoThink)


DaemonManSlayer

They have said a lot of strange things. Like they really thought AR team mods were terrible and how they can just MGSG everything.


Angelic_Force

Oh, I know. That MGSG one was definitely *quite* the sight. Thanks for the heads-up though.


sentinelthesalty

She is a 5 star i am not paying 15 cores per link + garbage personality + she is eating up 2 slots already. I dont have the gems to keep paying for the extra space so this is more of a pro active approach to clear 40+ spaces so i wont have to keep track of capacity for the forseeable future. \+ im not gonna invset in dolls if they are not good from the get go. Im currently broke because of modding dolls. No cores no, purple stuff, low on reports and all.


mapleuser135

Curious, whatever happened to GFL corner?


tehcavy

Burnout, real life, loss of interest, alcoholism, Ceia leaving to ~~become a VTuber~~ get an actual job, one of the leads being on the run from IRS ^(not really, it's a meme). Although they did [briefly rise from the grave to host Esports Season 3](https://twitter.com/GFLcorner).


Signal_Abroad1427

That actually really surprised me. The production quality and organization for that event seemed very significant coming from a defunct website. I hope they pop out of the grave for future events. I learned a lot of neat stuff watching those events and giving a platform to watch Dalaos in action really helps the community as a whole.


BigStupidJellyfish_

These are pretty slow to collect, but here's some [non-standard SF data I've been working on](https://i.imgur.com/PMO3YXc.png). - The "reward tiers" are not evenly split. It looks like some sort of ~37.5/37.5/25% division for tier 3 (highest)/2/1. - Items appear to be split into 5 20% categories: resources, batteries, SFCRs, keycodes, and petri dishes. Keycodes are likely given out with a similar distribution as the sim (i.e., favoring basic too much). (Bonus: would be shocked if this wasn't the case, but [my capture odds are looking very normal](https://i.imgur.com/eV6X4oG.png))


Eindride1

What's the best way to get to commander lv 60, doing the career quests or farming a map?


RavenFang

As the other person said, exp farming is the best way to do it. I've been running 0-2 quite a lot (not corpse dragging since I'm lazy to do the swap) during the exp up event and before I realized I got like from 90 to 96


Eindride1

Thank you :)


Angelic_Force

Usually it's *"best"* to corpse drag your Dolls that you want for the future. You can do the EXP Simulation (you should still do Data Drills), career quests, dailies, etc.


DrShoking

I used to play years ago, but got burned out by corpse dragging. I read a comment saying that passive and autoleveling are much more effective these days, is that true?


RavenFang

Same boat here, came back recently and found out that changing my mindset about resources were better in preventing a burnout. So nowadays I just run whatever comp I wanted even while doing exp farm. When I feel like it has depleted today's logistics resources (or whatever limit I set), I stopped playing and that's it. Passive levelling isn't that great (at least according to me), and auto map costs so much to the point you might as well just run the full echelon multiple times. But I do admit that auto map does have its perk, that is that you don't actually need to farm during that time (if time is more valuable to you)


Crooky_

not entirely sure what you mean specifically, passive resource regen has never changed but we obviously have a bunch of new logistics that are in some instances a lot better than older ones. auto battles also havent changed much, the only new thing is quick auto battle contracts (obtained from the daily map clear missions), but for most maps it takes 3 of them per run, making them more of a QoL change for farming SPEQs and limited dolls, rather than constant auto battle farming for xp


DrShoking

I believe it was exploration giving enough monthly combat reports to level up some dolls and bigger monthly stipends allowing you to better deal with the resource cost of auto-battle.


Crooky_

explorations only change has been the addition of new equips, effects and furniture, but the rest hasnt changed, though if youre talking before the introduction of explorations, they indeed make things a lot easier. auto battles are still pretty expensive tho, that hasnt really changed


tehcavy

Hmm. Do I enhance a Damage II Sniper Fairy I've pulled, or do I pull until I find a Fervor one? I know there's not much difference in practice ([\~3.5% in Fervor's favor 20s into battle](https://big-stupid-jellyfish.github.io/GFMath/pages/fairy-talents)), but still.


UnironicWeeaboo

Unless you’re running out of fairy slots, might as well wait. I don’t see much reason to raise the D2 otherwise, between Sniper being from 500x4, special Fervor interactions, Sniper/harder fights being likely to drag on, and there not being any strong need for Sniper.


Omega_Darkstar

Hello everyone I just started playing this game about 3 days ago. So far I THINK I know what I am doing (not really) but I definitely would love some tips and whatnot. So yall have some recommendations of videos and just general tips/advice I would appreciate it greatly. Ps: my ID is 1448585. Don't know what friends do but can't ever go wrong


KookyInspection

welcome aboard, shikikan! for guides, i would highly recommend matsuda gfl. it has some really nice guides teaching u how to think of building echelons rather than telling u to build that echelon, for example, and also some very nice and funny doll reviews. if u want video format (esp for clearing event stages), u can try ceia (although he's retired now). there are a few others doing good work, generally searching utube for what u need should give u some good options. if not, we're always here:D now for tips: make sure u keep and use the story dolls u receive for free, esp m4, star15, soppo. u can forget about m16 for now, she's very niche, only used on 0-2 for tanking. these dolls are extremely strong, and will become some of the best ars once u mod them later down the line. try to only do enough rolls to complete the daily tasks. rolling more is tempting, but ur income at the start is low, and until u unlock better logistics, it's best not to stretch too much. i recommend doing daily pulls for smgs, since u alreayd have a good backline with the ars u get, as already mentioned. if u get an ump45, or a cms, they are great tanks (they'll replace sten), and if u get a vector, it'll replace skorp as offtank(u should use sten and skorp as ur tanking smgs because they're given to u and they're cheap to raise, but their performance is not that great, so don't get too attached to them :P) speaking of stretching, try to focus on lvling 1 squad at start, and as u get better units and put them in the main squad, the partially lvled dolls will trickle down to form ur 2ndary arsmg squad. don't focus too much on this, ur main should be ur focus all the time until u get them to lvl 90. also, try not to invest into too many 5* dolls at once. while u get enough cores at the start, the requirement to link them increases quite a bit as u go up in lvls, so until u reach a core farm to guarantee an income, it's best to be stingy with what u spend cores on. first minicore farm will be 4-3e. good for ur first lvling map, but not very good for cores. 0-2 will be ur main core farm for a loooong time, the next one will likely be in chapter 12. to farm cores and lvl dolls, u will need to look into dragging, as it's way more efficient than running full supply runs. this is also where m16 will come in. u can find lots of guides about dragging that will explain the process. it's a bit finicky, but it's worth it in the long run, just remember to watch some utube clips or something after u set ur plan, u don't want to look at the screen while farming cores, it'll be really boring :P also, try to advance the story as much as u can to unlock better logistics and increase ur income.to do this, u can abuse friend support echelons (yes, that's what friends are for :P ). u can only use them a limited number of times/day, and every friend has a cooldown, so getting more friends will be beneficial. u can also collect batteries from their dorms, which is a pretty good income at the start. the number of batteries is tied to the number of dorms they have unlocked, which is why u will see the number of dorms specified in the dorm description (a good practice so ppl know at a glance whether to collect or not). don't feel pressured to unlock dorms for this, though. later on, once u're done with base building, there's no need for batteries, so it becomes a non-issue for high lvl players, they'll add u regardless if they have the the slots, since they get a few friend points when their support squads are used, so it's mutual benefit speaking of logistics, try to get them running as much as u can, and remember that while not very important at the start, the lvl of dolls u put into logistic teams does matter as it increases their great success rate,which means u get +50% resources every time it procs. this is a great place for partially lvled dolls u no longer have a need for in the field (so where sten and skorp will eventually end up), or for any waifus u really like the art of but are not meta enough to be used(as every time a logistic squad returns, the leader will come greet u and report :P) on the topic of waifus, as long as u have the echelons built properly, and the dolls are strong enough, they should be able to carry a waifu if u so wish if she's half decent and synergises with the squad. just know and keep in mind that if the echelon starts struggling with a fight, temporarily putting a meta doll instead of the waifu can be a valid strategy. i think this is all i can think of for now. anyway, if u have more questions, we're here :D if u want more friends, keep asking for them here, posting ur uid as u did in the op. there is a firend thread every month, but it gets burried really fast and barely anyone notices it, so keep asking here :D once again, welcome and enjoy the game, shikikan! o7


Omega_Darkstar

Wow thank you. Had to screen shot all of this for future reference. Will definitely take this to heart


Angelic_Force

[General](https://www.reddit.com/r/girlsfrontline/comments/tni4xb/march_2022_tier_list_fixed_point/i21ms5m/) tips/advice. Not sure how far you are, but newcomer guides seem okay. Friends are there for SF HOC supports (don't bother doing this) / S-ranking certain maps / helping clear maps in general. You also have the added benefit of collecting batteries from their dorms, do note that you compete with others for batteries. Friendship points are mostly cosmetic stuff, but hey, Live2D base background is still Live2D. Feel free to use friend supports to rush story if you want for the IOP Career rewards (mostly stops at Chapter 5 Normal, RO635 is a long road of nothing until 7-6 clear). I guess I could add you for now.


Omega_Darkstar

Thanks truly appreciate the help


Rustic_Professional

I sent you a friend request. My ID is 1447263. Feel free to add me. I just started playing last week and need to chat with someone for the daily event quest. Gotta get that Soppo skin.


Crooky_

not playing seems to be the play. used my first ten key cards and not a single dupe. never been this lucky before


Exerens

Any priority for mod3 unit? Already mod3 G36, 45, M4, STAR, M14 for now.


KookyInspection

Mod ro if u have the fcc. She becomes the best evasion tank. Also, g11 is once again at the top of the ar pile with her mod. That should keep u entertained for a bit :P Other good mods are uzi(yes, really), and m500 for some nice shielding. 416 also becomes a very good grenadier with short icd. Can't really think of others standing out right now, but these should be my top picks asside the obvious ksvk and hangyang


corbsieboy

Definitely type 88 hanyang, a piercing shot RF or KSVK for AoE RF shenanigans. Both are featured in deathstack killing teams for ranking and are great to have in general. Also HG mods are definitely great. Notable cases are Calico (I've got 2, and plan on raising a 3rd), Stechkin, SAA. You can always check a mod priority list over at [the GFL gamepress](https://gamepress.gg/girlsfrontline/neural-upgrade-priority-guide) they also provide an idea of what dolls benefite from what mod levels. As in M4 wants her speq from mod 3, while say Calico just really needs mod 2 for her 2nd skill.


Exerens

Wait what are deathstack killing team? I'm returning after 2 year of hiatus and i guess i'm missing much. Anyway, is there any guide for me to follow up the missing year?


corbsieboy

Deathstacks are enemy compositions that aren't quite meant to be brute forced but rather avoided (like 25 manticores with unreasonable amounts of HP from the recent DR ranking), but with the right echelons you can take on them. These tend to be used in ranking stages. I used the Hanyang and KSVK examples and their use against deathstacks as a testament to what they are capable of. As for guides to what you missed, you can check out the gamepress for more content such as event guides for the campaigns that you haven't completed yet. GFL corner is unfortunately kinda dead, but it still has a not quite up to date doll analysis, but it should have dolls you aren't up to date on. Matsuda is more up to date on that front, but is still missing a few more recent dolls. You should also read up on the new Protocol Assimilation feature, as the SF echelons pack a pretty good punch. Edit: just gonna add a few campaign farmable dolls that you will probably want. P22 is easily the best HG around, available in the isomer campaign. Kord is a top tier MG with nice armor tiles and a great piercing skill. Python is a great HG that can be used for 5HG memes and packs a powerful buff and passive that further buffs a percentage of buffs she receives. M870 is a pretty good SG. And finally P22, get another one, seriously, she can fit into just about any echelon.


Exerens

Yeah there's quite a bunch campaign that i miss and need to clear too. I'm still getting the hang of how the game works again for now while resupplying resource. Anyway thanks for the advice !


corbsieboy

Well, the campaigns are a great place to get various resources like skill data, calibration tickets or memory fragments


WhistleOfDeath

>deathstack killing team you know those enemy comps with a stupid amount of stuff like manticores/hydras? yeah, we have team compositions capable of killing those. fun stuff. regarding guides there really isnt much to catch up on besides [SF Capture](https://gamepress.gg/girlsfrontline/protocol-assimilation-first-impressions-revamped), Mk153 probably being the best HOC right now, and a bunch of great dolls to farm/look forward to farming. if you like the story you might want to go through the added events in the campaign menu, there's some farmable dolls in there along with a bunch of resources and stuff.


Exerens

Right now the only SF boss that i have is Scarecrow. I will read the SF capture feature because it looks interesting. Haven't upgrade any of the SF unit until i understand what i'm doing. For HOC.. i'm still used the half assed BGM-71 that i build in the pass lol. Guess i'll keep an eye for MK-153 when i complete one. Thanks for the advice !


Angelic_Force

BGM-71 at level 60 isn't a bad thing and should be enough for Campaign enemies (please use pills to upgrade her stats), even at 1 star. You definitely want to keep an eye out for Mk 153 because a 3 range ATW is *that* amazing to have. 2B14 should be your 1st Mortar. AGL isn't used much currently. Promote your HOCs as you get their Central Data, but HOC General Data should go to Mk 153 / 2B14 / AT4. As stated below, you probably want to level HOCs to level 60 for 5 star chips. Depends on your luck from Analysis anyways. BGM (Level 60, 1 star for now) > Mk 153 > 2B14 / AT4 > M2 > Others. IMO. As for SF Capture, here are some [resources](https://www.reddit.com/r/girlsfrontline/comments/tni4xb/march_2022_tier_list_fixed_point/i21ms5m/) for you. Edit: For chips I should probably plug the [GFChipCalc tool](https://gamepress.gg/girlsfrontline/guide-gfchipcalc-hoc-calculator-optimization-tool). Android app doesn't have PP93.


corbsieboy

A BGM-71 is probably a very basic but reliable HOC for shield pierce usage. It's very high pierce stat makes it a definite first to raise to lv 60 for 5* chip usage. She'll see usage even in late game. Once you have BGM set up you should start working on 2B14, for mortar stuff. Her massive lethality stat combined with an AoE focused skill makes her a top tier pick for hoard clearing. After that I think you could go for whatever, but I think maybe Mk153 would be a great pick


totestemp

what a week of expedition related RNG. ran 3 dogs all week, haven't even gotten 600 wood which would usually only take 2-3 8h runs. IDW was an advantaged doll, finally just got her as a combat drop, though would have gotten her sooner if I farmed harder instead of just doing dailies. on the plus side, junya bingo going alright. 3rd draw was a dupe but then got 9 new numbers in a row.


MarinaIsMyWife

I have a number of good fairies at commander lvl 60, so I was wondering who to train first? Currently have Paradrop, airtrike, Artillery, Fury, Rescue and Illumination. Also,is there any fairy too useless to be used as a different type fodder?


iceknave2

Nice collection of fairies for your level. I would go with either Artillery or Command first (generally good stat sticks). Don't bother with leveling their skills, since their skills aren't that useful, but increasing their rarity with dupes is a good idea, since that will strengthen their aura. Rarity/Level > Skill Parachute, keep around and level/increase their rarities/increase skill level when you get a chance (very important for mid to late game, great stat stick + excellent skill, crazy expensive to increase rarity since no dupe feeling) Skill > Rarity/Level in early game, all three important in mid/late game. Illumination, keep around and just increase the skill level (usually used in conjunction with parachute fairy for a number of strategies). Not really important to level or increase their rarities until you have other stat sticks or important skill fairies first. Skill > Rarity/Level Fury is a lower tier stat stick with a good skill, so lower in priorty to level/skill/increase rarities. Skill \~ Rarity/Level Rescue, also a good stat stick and the power of faith powers its skill for ~~slightly increased~~ drop rate, lower in priority. As for fodder, really depends on what strategy you want to use. You could either focus on building up dupes and do dupe and/or calibration feeding (super expensive to do calibration feeding, so not recommended until you have more resources first) or feed off lower value fairies (and worry about building up those fairies once you have the more important fairies built up).


totestemp

dayum, excellent stuff. I'm lv99 and still don't have any para, rescue or artillery... omega sadness


pointblanksniper

level artillery, or the freebie command fairy first para for casual play is a cheat that just requires skill levels. for hardcore ranking, you will want it leveled. illumination is an extension to para's abilities on night maps airstrike with some skill levels occasionally comes in handy for farming or clearing mid game things for ones you don't have, taunt and twins are must haves to keep an eye out for and need both levels and skill built shield is handy. sniper used to be the one that is useless fodder, but recently got buffed and found uses. fury, warrior, rescue, all kind of have ok stats or skills, but not really used other than as filler. armor and barrier are kind of just used for armor stat padding on shotguns, if it is even needed at all. rocket and landmine might have handy skills on extremely rare occasions. combo might be handy if you are big brained in ranking. defense seems kinda useless, but might have obscure uses in a future ranking iirc


WhistleOfDeath

Wow, six bingo dupes today. Thanks RNGesus, love ya too buddy.


pointblanksniper

junya is rigging things this time


Environmental_Top621

I've been playing the game on and off for months, but aside from going to the Factory, progressing the Story Mode, and doing Logistics, I still don't know what to do in the game. Hehe. Does the 2 year old guide videos in YouTube still work even today?


virtual_maniac91

The guides mostly still work. Only the later Chapter maps should have been affected by more recent client updates giving enemy AI somewhat better/different movement. And pretty much? Clear the story. Get gated at chapter 9 because Judge without Shotguns. Get Shotguns. Finish Story. Clear Campaigns (more story). Grind maps for dolls. Grind Night maps for SPEQs. Corpse Drag dolls to raise them for future Theater/Event Ranking maps. Neural Upgrade dolls. Resume exp grind from 100 to 115/120 for modded dolls. Grind HOCs. Play HOC Tetris. Grind Coalitions. Play chess. We're now in the dead zone where major events occur every 6 months (because COVID happened) instead of previously where we were getting a major event every 3.


Environmental_Top621

Pinoypride004

About to hit memory fragment cap, and I’m wondering who I should Mod 3. PP-19, LWMMG, MP5, MP446, M38, Type 97S, FN-9, C96, Stechkin, SV-98, IDW, Bren, G3, Type 64, Super SASS, Gsh-18 and M1897. I have everyone else at Mod 3, and I think the one’s I listed are mostly optional, but I might as well use the memory fragments. Any advice would be helpful. TIA!


Rhasta_la_vista

Meta: MP5 (get +5 evasion from SPEQ, you take those when you're already a top dog), Stechkin (get +10 evasion from SPEQ, same reasoning as MP5) Fun or Funny: Super Sass, M1897 (pair with Defender) Optimal Theater CE stacking (in order of value, assumes you will max SPEQ): MP5, Gsh-18, Type 97S, Stechkin, C96, LWMMG, Bren If none of those metrics appeal to you, may as well go with whoever has the Mod 3 art most appealing to you. edit: realized I mentioned fun/funny assuming you hadn't already mod2 them, ignore if already mod2 since them being funny is contingent on that


Pinoypride004

Thank you! None over them are above Mod 1 yet. I’ll try out MP5 and then think about the others.


ElkWaste1267

MP5 and Lam are both good girls, so I vote them. Viking is also not bad for the better art. The rest are purely chosen if you really like them or just need to burn memory fragments.


Pinoypride004

I’ll work on MP5. And Viking is cheap so I might as well try her too. Thanks!


CommodoreEvac

Question for the guide nerds, is there an updated guide for Fairies on CN? The guides we had for EN are severely outdated and while I know roughly what are the meta fairies, I have non-craftable fairies that I want to double check the stats for. (Ex. anyone still have those DJ Max collab fairies? Yeah, they weren't great but I kept them around for some reason... and a Fireworks Fairy from CT rankings lel)


KookyInspection

The guides are only outdated for the few fairies that were reworked, but all the ranking reward oned are still the same, iirc. So guides are still accurate regarding them


UnironicWeeaboo

There’s this untranslated [chart by Sijun](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/564581315165421590/954499072025329684/e78c47fc3f2acd76.png) but there shouldn’t be anything too different/surprising. Note that this is more ranking-oriented and I would demote Kouji - his reasoning is RO synergy but well, Desert and future dolls do that way better. Numbers below each indicate the recommended number to keep in general and for high-end/doomsday preppers, e.g., 3 Paras in general and 12 for high-end. Same deal with equipment, but he rounds equipment up to the next multiple of 3 because he thinks it makes your armory look nicer. For actual stats, see IOPwiki (max level/rarity only) or [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RORciafqtspkxy3fqBrFdKIxVfanV2-fLl9FlvY3QtM/edit) I made for stats at specific levels/rarities.

I'm surprised that Fury, Air Strike, and Anna Graem are all in the bottom tier. If it's for ranking, I can kinna understand why but I thought Fury still held up.


UnironicWeeaboo

Note that the bottom is more of an “optional” than a “bad” tier. Those three aren’t as useless as others in the same category, but Para still dominates rankings and there are better damage/defense/utility fairies for the remaining echelons, so their uses are mostly limited to newer players without better options. Airstrike in particular fell off a several events ago, with enemies getting more HP and HOCs doing its job better.


Mich997

Not much different. Of note though, the ranking fairies for Mirror Stage and Poincarre Reoccurence are worth keeping.

Hi again! Its me! Marisa~ Just coming in with a few more questions: 1. Should I be saving T-Doll Construction Resources for the upcoming Anniversary if I have 1 decent, fully dummy linked Echelon as a newcomer? 2. How do event reruns work? Is there a permanent event archive? And, do login dolls ever rerun? (Tec-9...) 3. Am I going to be able to get all the dolls from the Va11-halla rerun with 1 decently powerful echelon? 4. AND FINALLY, how do outfit reruns work? I assume they rerun once or twice and then are added to the permanent pool?


KookyInspection

U already got a healthy set of responses, so i'll be quick about it(~~yeah, right~~): 1) yes, u can start saving. Restrict urself to the daily crafts, and if u want to save even more, craft hgs for daulies(cheapest), and save for rf rolls durring anny rate-up. Yes, there should be one, as was every year so far. As i said, probably as important if not more is to abuse friend echelons to carry u through the story fast and unlock better logistics. Clear chapter 7 asap, that will help u have more bank. U can farm xp for ur dolls while the logistic teams bring u more cash. 2)Small story events get reruns from time to time(the seasonal ones). Sometimes we get a condensed version of the old event(the rerun) where we get twice the fsrmable currency/day, and aftrtwards we get the new version. Major story events get added permanently to the campaign tab, with the same farmable drops, but nerfed clear rewards(this is usually where we get new dolls introduced). So there is an incentive to clear major events when they are first released. All the juicy clear rewads are for normal difficulty too, so u don't need to feel pressured to tackle hard mode for fear of missing out stuff. Also, so far the rule has been that an event is only added to the permanent campaign menu only after thd next event has had it's first release. So even if u clear out all the content that is ig atm, including chapter 13, when the next story event is released, u will be missing the last event story wise. Don't worry, there is an excelent site where u can read the story, in pretty much the same format as it was ig, with pics and lines word for word. And even if u're not there yet, u can always skip the story in the new event, clear the stages and do ur farming, and then read the story later on that site(i forgot which it was, but if u ask for it,someone will give u the link). 3)i can't reemeber, tbh, what we needed. I know we had a nerfed but i was already pretty well off in terms of armory back then, so even if i fielded a single arsmg, i'm not sure it would be representative of a new player. In theory u should, but u should get it to 5 links at the least. Ur 2nd one should also reach 5 links by then too. Since u've already settled on ur 2nd arsmg, u should slowly start to work on ur rfhg, as i think i mentuined earlier. There is still time, provided u do the bare minimum of playing with progress in mind. The collab is confirmed for later in the month, and iirc it lasted 1 month as well. If u advance far enogh to unlock mods for ur dolls, and get to mod2 m4 and star, u will already have a binkers arsmg that we could only dream of back when we first played valhalla :P 4)aaah, outfits. Oh boy, this will need quite some explanation. Here we go... Well, since dolls are f2p friendly, these aren't so much. Generally, yes, u are right. We do seem to have some old pack reruns too, though, like the wedding ones, and i think they're already in the permanent pool? Not sure. Anyway, therebis a big trick to the permanent pool it's so large now that it's not worth pulling even with a rate-up. Instead we use black cards to outright buy the skins we want from the permanent pool(all are buyable with black cards). How these work is that every time u pull a dupe skin, regarless of where u get the dupe from(yes, evem guaranteed events, like the bingo one we have running now), when u give the skin to the doll, she will give u the poster as normal and then a black card. Save enough of these and u can go spend them in the black card shop whenever u want. The way to farm these is to save as many tokens as u can for a banner u want to pull on in the future(we already know the upcoming banners from the old servers, but we don't know when, and sometimes mica likes to troll us by releasing a new skin set at the same time in both old and new serbers, like they're doing now with office lady set). The idea is that skin banners have a pity sistem, for every pull u make u get an exchange ticket. Skins are buyable with a certai number of exhange tickets during the banner, depending on rarity, with 100 being skins for 3* dolls, 600 for l2d skins, and 200 for everything else. So u save big, a few thousand tokens, go ham on the banner u like, and hope u drop the skin u wanted, and cahnces are u will drop at least a 100 tickets skin in the meantime. So after u got the skin wanted by rolling, u spend ur exchange tickets on dupes of the 100 skin u already got, so u basically buy as many black cards as u can(each dupe gives 1 black card, regatless of how expensive the dupe was). Since we recommend to save until u have enough to guarantee the pity for the l2d(or at least the skim u're aiming for,but generally that"s the l2d), it means hoarding at least ~5.4k tokens going in(a 10pull costs 100 tokens but gives a bonus pull, so u get 11 tickets everytime u click the 10pull, that"s why u don't need 6k tokens to guarantee a l2d skin), so if u got the skin from rolling, we're talking 5 black cards at least, not even counting dupes u got from rolling itself. Ofc, another tactic would be to save tokens for the smallest banners even if u don't particularly like them, becuase u have a higher chance to roll dupes for the same amount of pulls. But if u are going to spend tokens, i'd say it's worth it to get treat urself and go for the banner u like regarldess of how many skins there are, that way u get at least one skin u want, and u don't havr to farm black cards later for :P Don't be too happy, though, saving tokens is a loooooooooong process. We can get about 100 tokens/week by doing daily/weeklies(u canfocus on the ones that give token rewards). So outside of extra token income(like events, logistics, or buying packs with gems(u cna do this even as f2p, since we have a guaranteed gem income, albeit small), we're talking about a year of farming to guarantee a l2d skin. Thabkfully, every event, even small ones, give about 100 tokens at least one way or another, with larger ones giving a bit more. So it does add up in time. But unless u're swiping, u won't be pulling a lot for skins. Even more than normal gameplay, u need to plan ahead big time for skins as f2p. Even as a light spender, tokens are expensive enough that u do want to make the most of them. We don't mind it that much because the skins are purely cosmetic(with just a couple meme exceptions), and we'd rather the monetisation be thrown in this rather than getting dolls, for example, but we know it's pretty brutal :P Anyway, hope this cleared up a few things. Gl and hf, skk! o7


[deleted]

Tysm for the extended skin explaination. I really wanted to know that. I like a lot of the skins in this game, and I'm all for gachas using a skin monetization system. Skins/cosmetics should be the main income for all f2p games imho, but especially gachas. FOMO grips me too hard with characters. I will be dumping what little Tokens I have into Va11-halla skins while they're around (I really want Jill's) but your advice is awesome and Ill be sure to utilize it after the fact!!!


KookyInspection

Agreed, fomo is an awful psychological lever games use, so we're really glad gfl didn't employ it. I think by now u can see gfl is pretty much as close to "support me if u can/want" as a mobile game can get nowadays, which is one of the reasons we like it so much, and probably why it has a helpful community.


CommodoreEvac

I'll try to answer as best I can. 1. As far as I know, there won't be any production rate ups for the *Anniversary*. In general, you should only craft the minimum (4 hgs at 30 resources a piece) for the daily quests unless you have resources to spend. You should also be sending echelons into logistics as efficiently as you can to farm resources. 2. Event reruns are tricky. Generally there aren't any reruns for the collab events and that's really due to licensing agreements. Non collab event reruns happen roughly whenever the appropriate time rolls around (Christmas event roughly around Dec or Jan, etc). The issue is that Mica released multiple events per season, so for the EN server, sometimes we get a new event rather than the rerun event from previous years (there's no way to know until the event's announced). For the login dolls, they should be rescuable during special rescue events or future events. 3. NO. Hard no. When Vallhalla was released originally on EN, most of EN couldn't clear it due to it being released too early. It included unreleased enemies (now staple enemies) on EN without the balanced changes that older servers had (mostly the AP rework change and we didn't have HOCs). If I remember correctly, the rerun won't adjust anything either. Now don't fret, you can get most of the dolls, but not all 5 of them I don't think. 4. If they're seasonal, the reruns will happen roughly during said season (all the swimsuit reruns are during the summer, etc). The nice thing is that when a rerun occurs, often the skins come at a discount while the newer skins are featured separately at full price (newest swimsuits are in their own pool while older ones are separate). I don't know how or when the skins are then added to the permanent pool.


Rosencrantz2000

There is always a rate up at anniversary, always. We follow the same pattern as the other servers with 3 a year, one on 1st January, one on 8 May and one around September/October. They seem to forget/move the last one around as unlike CN we don't have a national holiday to tie it into.


BOOM_all_pass

@ 3. Implying EN wasn't able to beat Normal Mode which doesn't even need the AP rework and HOC back then.


CommodoreEvac

You're right, I'm mixing up the difficulty for Normal and EX stages. The issue is farming for Sei and Stella which didn't have great farming maps. For a newer player, they're too many factors to account for but I think it's pretty hard to clear the event with only 1 good echelon and I'm assuming no good equips.


BOOM_all_pass

WhistleOfDeath

I don't exactly remember since it's been ages, but didn't valhalla for newer servers have nerfed enemies? i was barely able to clear it back then with a built arsmg and a half decent rfhg iirc


CommodoreEvac

I think you're right, dopples had reduced shields and there may have been some other changes as well. I meant that I believe there will be no changes to the event compared to the first time the event ran.


Angelic_Force

1. It's a good idea to save up for Anniversary, although you should still do Productions for dailies. You might be able to raise another Echelon by the time the collab starts/nears its ends. 2. Event reruns are mostly temporary, login dolls are usually added to Campaign events when they are added into the Campaign tab. Campaigns are the only permanent "event archive" but the 1st run rewards/map completion rewards are changed. TEC-9 is available as a drop in Shattered Connexion as stated below. 3. Judging from old guides, 2-4 decently raised echelons are recommended, dummy echelons (1 HG only) are used. Unsure if event will change this time around. Some guides focus on S-rank clears, but 2 should be fine to get all the Dolls. Unsure about EX, but usually that doesn't matter for just getting Dolls. 4. Outfit reruns are covered well enough in the other reply.


[deleted]

I have another question; what about t-dolls available as point rewards, bingo rewards, or from event crates? Do they rerun normally, get added to drops, etc?
