because core 3 has a massive skill point wall.
Yeah but if you drop a few brackets, you might also miss out on... *checks* a day or so's worth of training data, less enhancement pills than Kalina can RNG you on any given morning, 50 Special Combat Reports you can just buy monthly, AND 50 batteries.
Supposedly, Grape+M200 setup, Taunt Fairy, and expert kiting with the HGs to mess with the Minos' routines. I failed at this, barely surviving the first Mino group on Wave 2 or 3 (can't recall) and getting stopped cold by the second group at Wave 9. Dropped back to Core 6 for my two actual runs today, and am planning to do Core 6 for the remaining days Theater is active. I'm not wasting any further time on Core 8.
There's a reason to get as many QLZ chips as possible, even if you don't plan to use it.
Indeed. If I get a Mino group early on and/or more than one of them, I just go "nope." and scrap that attempt as a failure.
You shouldn't be taking much damage with that formation and 2B14. Move Mk23 and P22 to the front row at the start to block all three minotaurs. Then, with HS2000 on manual, you can activate the shield when the lightning attack starts. Retreat the front HG's when the shield gets too low, or just put P22 on manual too and tank the whole thing. (Grape should also be on manual, either way, so her shot doesn't end up wasted on a shielded Minotaur.)
From what I understand the other servers have a number of complaints about the system, but Mica's not done much (or anything) about it. Time will tell, I suppose.
Pretty much the only reason I'm worried; as is, GFL is about as close as you can get to a F2P game while still having microtransactions - the biggest moneymaker is by far the cosmetic costumes, and while you can spend cash to get infrastructure upgrades and resources, there's more than enough gems easily available to cover things like echelon count and your armory totals, while buying resources is extremely inefficient unless you have oil baron levels of cash to toss around - logistics can easily bring you up to the softcaps or higher by just not deploying outside of daily missions for a few days. On the other hand, by all accounts the free resources generated for SF Capture are never enough to guarantee even one copy of the leader you want, there's not really a way to bring them up to five stars without capturing multiple copies of a Sangvis leader, and they're on what amounts to a monthly banner rotation. In other words, Sangvis capture is nearly the straight up unit gacha that a lot of players like myself got tired of and quit other games for years ago. It's still not terrible compared to other gacha games by my understanding - certainly nowhere near the garbage factory that is a game like FGO where rate up is a lie, pity rates don't exist, and you can drop 500 dollars on a banner to never get the unit you want, but it's still a step in the wrong direction, so to speak.
