Come for the Raifus, Stay for the Plot: Girls' Frontline - Baking Time

Copying from the Matsuda guide:

Almost all Shotguns use buckshot. Period. People who tell you to use slugs are retarded and dont understand how it works. Buckshot has +damage and +crit damage. Slugs only add a multiplier, but this multiplier is IGNORED for skills that use a damage multiplier (like M37's) as it isnt actually part of the damage stat, effectively counting as if YOU HAD NO AMMO EQUIPPED AT ALL for skills. Slug effect applies to normal attacks ONLY. All it does is compress your damage (which would normally be in 3 hits to 3 targets) to 1 target. It seems good on Saiga, but her skillshots count as skill attacks and thus dont apply the slug effect either. The only shotgun that has any business using slugs is USAS-12, whose skill boosts her RoF. Oh, and also Slugs dont have innate knockback at all, so that makes them shittier at tanking too.
KR wiki note on Slugs: "슬러그는 5성짜리도 장비 증폭 캡슐이란 멸칭까지 붙을 지경이다." : Translation - Slugs, even though being 5 stars, have a nickname of 'Equipment Enhancement Capsule'.

tl;dr don't use slugs
 
So how do tile buffs work in this game?

Is it like "(BASE_STAT + EQUIPMENT_STAT) x TILE_BUFF"?

Or is it "(BASE_STAT x TILE_BUFF) + EQUIPMENT_STAT"?
 
On the bright side i dont have 9A-91's dress but i have a nice new dorm.

I'd have preferred the dress.

Edit: Admittedly, it is a nice, cosy dorm.



(Yes, PPK is taking a bath in the washing mashine lmao)

So I was reading the dexcriptions of the new furniture set. It's...very obvious how boned the world is. The sense of pervasive melancholy is actually quite well done.
 
Finished Ouro earlier today. Turns out level 90 skill 10 x5 SR-3MP does hilarious things to pretty much anything she can hit, and the rest of the team was built to help her work.

Oh, right, Shrimp. I should level my own one past 30, come to think of it. Maybe for my third echelon after I've got my second to x4 10,000+ night...
 
Sounds like you have to build a team with her as a base then. Don't have any spares for her yet but I'll keep that in mind.

In any case, I managed to get my last echelon and dorm unlocked so I now can give 10 batteries to friend visitors

I have 4 empty slots so send me a request if you like.

Plan to do that myself over the next month or so, via tossing $40 at the game every two weeks when I get paid. Does it result in you having a complete battery at collection time each day?

No, dorms only affects how many batteries your friend gets from tapping your dorm

Like, if you friended a complete noob and tapped his battery charger, you'll only get 2. If you find someone who unlocked all the dorms and tapped the battery, you'll get 10

What makes you have more batteries you yourself can collect is the COMFORT level of all your dorms.

That's why you want the 5star furnitures since they can bump the comfort level to like 20k or something at max. I'm not sure though since I only ever managed to get to 15k with 10 five star furniture of the same set

Highest I've ever gotten is 15k. You get 10000 from the furniture, 2000 from set bonus, and a max of 3000 from 3 pet beds. Otoh that was with 4* furniture, maybe 5* furniture has a higher set bonus.

I've got 3 dorms with 12k comfort, now i'm working on adding pet beds to boost that figure.

Oh you found a job? Congrats!

I'm thinking of maybe buying the gem card at least. 30 gems a day for a month is a nice thing to have.

No, I'm sadly still unemployed. I just figured 40/per two weeks isn't too bad, as far as spending money on hobbies go, that's all. I confess it's mainly because I'd be tossing cash on gameplay upgrades, such as more echelon or medbay slots, vs potentially tossing it into the wind if I was spending it on Quartz in FGO or other gacha games.

I tend to think of 'getting money from Centerlink' as 'getting paid', even though it's receiving money from the government to help me find a job vs actual pay from a job. Apologies if that confused ya.

In that case I would just recommend getting the gem card. It's about $4.99 and gives you 30 gems per day for 30 days. It's not as instant, but it gives you a slow drip of gems that you can slowly accumulate over the month while you level up your girls and accumulate tokens for your dorms. Factoring in the gems you get from the login rewards (30 -> 60 -> 120), you'd earn 1000+ gems easily per month which you can put towards another echelon or for dorms and other things.

Then you can save money for the FGO gacha. :3

Also pets aren't reaaally worth the investment. They take iirc three years to pay off investment in battery costs.

So I'm reading the furniture description now and
Great Library: Classical Governor Portrait said:
"Books are the president of human knowledge."
Supposedly this is a quote by Shakespeare, but presidents didn't exist during his time... If humans are always correct, then perhaps this is proof that books can send you across time and space. -- Sten
suddenly Sten is the best character

All the library item descriptions are quotes being responded to by various T-Dolls and it is absolutely worth reading them. Heck, I'm going to copy them out here for posterity's sake.

Hah, based on statistics of war from the past hundred-odd years, it's obvious this is referring to wisdom of self-destruction. -- Ingram

No one knows where the stairs will lead... Perhaps we shall see it soon. -- Vector

Huh, books couldn't really rule over much then, especially nowadays. -- Negev

Great Library: Library Desk said:

No, the S.F. do. -- KXG

"A scholar may not necessarily possess knowledge. True knowledge is to recognize knowledge, to be to ruminate on it, to be able to work."
What.... don't we study because we don't want to work... I'm tired, time for a break..... -- M249


Oh shit the Late Night Kitchen set also has quotes damn-

Late Night Kitchen: Cooking Room Window said:
PSM: ...What a beautiful night.
T33: Even if there was canned salmon in the bread you ate?
PSM: I thought it was really tasty though. Why did everyone say it was bad?
T33: Uhh... this must be because... everyone wanted to surprise you?


Late Night Kitchen: Cooking Utensil Hanging Rack said:
Type79: Please watch, Miss Cooking Supervisor, we just need to add a little salt, then we can proceed to the next step!
MP40: Little... so how much is that?
Type79: However much you like?
MP40: (Writes on notebook) Type79's language and mathematics module needs to be checked.
MP40: Your name is also going on ze list...
Late Night Kitchen: Cooking Room Shelves said:
m45: Eh? Ak5, have you seen the bread that I've just finished baking?
Ak5: I think P7 took it just now along with a can of canned fish... Eh? Why are you laughing? Big sis?


Late Night Kitchen: High Stool Left/Right said:
M500: Hey, shorty, you're not gonna help?
S-Shorty: No, my hands can't reach the table...
M500: We have a stool right here!
S-Shorty: It's too tall as well... (sobs)
Super Shorty's life confirmed for unending short joke
Late Night Kitchen: Washing Machine said:
P7: Ciao, Miss Cutey! Come and order some red wine and bread! It'll make you plump and juicy!
SPAS12: Is that so? I think cola and burgers are good enough for me.
ARX160: (Sigh) Really? I'll have a taste...
P7: Please finish it in one bite, since... it's really troublesome to clean up. (Quietly)


Late Night Kitchen: Cooking Room Refrigerator said:
Welrod: I'm never opening it in the middle of the night ever again! Bren's sardine pie kept staring at me, and those lampreys that Ribeyrolles added to the pie... they're still alive!
Casual reminder that retired T-Dolls typically end up as servers/service industry
Late Night Kitchen: Cooking Counter said:
FMS: AAT, remember next time that this type of bread doesn't need to be scored. You don't need to make any cuts on it.
AAT52: Scored? You mean the cuts aren't made for fun?


Late Night Kitchen: Cooking Sink said:
Type81R: T92, I didn't expect you to finish washing dishes this quickly.
T91: I've worked at a tea shop before. You're also pretty quick yourself.
Type81R: Ugh... I've worked on a train before... The "peanuts, beer and sausages here! Coming through, comrade!" type of work...
So apparently some of them are converted A-Dolls? I keep hearing conflicting messages on that.
Late Night Kitchen: Cooking Stove said:
AR70: How's the heat?
SAT8: Al dente!
AR70: Uh... what?
SAT8: Oh, tradition is the essence of my country's dishes, and even the terminology is saved in my neural cloud.

Late Night Kitchen: Giant Roast Turkey said:

holy shit bren
Late Night Kitchen: Late Night Kitchen Rug said:
Gr G36: Here are the ingredients for making grilled sausages. Do you think we're missing anything?
Gr G36C: How about we add some spices? Like... parsley?
Gr G36: Okay♪ Come and help me.
N-Not even G36 is a competent cook... THE MORE YOU KNOW
Late Night Kitchen: Cooking Floorboard said:
Lee-Enfield: Please do not rollerskate in the kitchen, especially while I'm making butter... Shut up and stand still! IDW, please clean up this battlefield after I'm done.
[IDW intensifies]

aaand that's the last of the furniture descriptions I can access from the Exchange Ticket shop.

EDIT: So apparently the QUOTE=blah tag will eat anything after a comma, good to know...

The quotes and furniture descriptions are great.

Both for helping to establish the tone of the world in all it's post-postapoc "shits all kinds of fucked and we've lost a lot of what we had before but it could be worse and sometimes things aren't that bad after all" glory, and for really helping to humanise the T-dolls.
