Arknights

Finished emptying the event shop.

Overall the auto deploy meant farming was very relaxing and I thought it was nice to just sit back and let them do all the work, only tapping the phone every once in a while.

If you for some insane reason still believe in getting 5*s through recruitment, this might be of use◊.

Is there even any estimation on the odds of getting certain recruitment tags??

I've gotten Projekt Red from the CC tag, I believe.

r/nocontext◊.

Oh they are getting torn apart by that one.

My favorite replies to that tweet where "Put Intern-kun in the basement." "He had his chance and he blew it."

If only the remembered to add a "text" in that tweet.

The internet is as merciless and unforgiving as a From Software game.

Finally empty the store and get all three stars in the challenges stages before the event ended.

And the price for it? My phone overheating due to constantly farming for rare materials and warm fingers.

The only recruitment 5* I've gotten is Mayer.

I only got an 5* (and 6*) out of guaranteed tag...namely Vulcan and Silverash.

It might be just me, but it seems when you get a rare tag combination, it seems the game will try to purposefully puts in MORE THAN ONE combination there, just to make you suffer through choice. Like when I got Nuker tag (for Firewatch) with Top Op, or has to choose tag combination for either Mayer or Vulcan...

Also I may or may not have missed an Istina tag combo due to not knowing...might. Still if I did...crud.

I still haven't seen a Top or Senior Operator tag, ever. It's honestly kind of soured me on the Recruiting system, if only because I can only deal with so many draws where my options are either a Rangers token or Melantha. I like Melantha, she's great, but still.

Recruitment is primarily a means of getting a constant supply of green certificates, which can be exchanged for elite materials at the rank 2 shop (after you buy out rank 1).

I mean, getting a free 5* would be a bonus, but I'm happy just to get green certs.

Yeah, that's a good point. I have a decent stock, but it does sting having to buy kohl for 30 certs now. Grani, come back... is what I would say, but I do have to get SOME other resources.

Yeah 5 and 6 stars from recruitment is not supposed to be the primary means of getting those operators. It's just a nice, super-rare bonus.

They clearly want you to gacha.

I got the Top Operator tag twice which got me Siege and Miss Apple Pie. Now I'm trying to get Mayer.

Same except in this case it's Plume and Orchid I've been getting endless copies of

All my 3* characters are at max Potential and they are all effectively identical to me at this point. 10 certs, bam.

So I have two question: who the fuck is Perfumer and since when do I have her?

^ You have her? Can I get one? I need an AOE healer, and Myrrh is only partial substitute.

I think the idea is that they don't have her, but we're all getting a costume for her anyway. Which is a little weird, at least.

Did a ten-pull since Lappland/Ifrit/Eyja were too good to resist, got Mayer and Matterhorn.

Got Ifrit myself. Also bit the bullet and buy Lappland. Not sure if best idea since I have Silverash, but some people said they cover different role, so...will go with that.

My guaranteed 5* was Nearl, who completes the Followers Cast Herd for me so that's cool.

I do want to use her, but I also already have 2 Defenders and I don't think I could justify using three.

Edited by Clarste on Feb 21st 2020 at 8:52:04 AM

Three Defenders is definitely an "oddball maps only" team composition, I feel like.

Also Nearl's name is apparently Margaret Nearl and that's funny to me.
