They are having a special re-run banner for Leva and Gil during the last week of this patch. Good for me, I didn't join until 2 weeks before 1.1, so I never had a chance to get either of them. And my Rossi sucks without Gil.
Going to be a lot of Gilberta pullers. Can you pull for the specific operators or will it be an equal chance for all of them?

With Zhuang being a 1 month banner people will have enough time to get Gilberta after seeing her show up in every team. Laev is still my favorite operator by a lot though, I've got all the operators and whenever i use her team it's pure fun annihilating everything. I'm almost tempted to get P1 of her even though i want to keep getting all the banner characters.

stream summary:



With them streamlining some of the daily tasks (great change), I hope they offer a moderately difficult way to spend sanity that gives enough rewards to be worth it. Every day we all spend a few minutes clicking through menus for our dailies and then 20 seconds spamming ultimates to spend sanity. Then every few weeks we reap any benefit from leveling our operators and learning proper rotations in some difficulty mode we do once.

They don't need to make it as hard as Agony Umbral Monument, but something just a bit harder that lets us at least use a full rotation before it's over.

I would love if I could pick, because I have P1 Pog/Ardelia and don't have either of the other 2, but I guess we will find out.

I don't understand "Trimmed" medals.

Is this trimmed or not? I would assume not, as I have this:

But then again, it says here:

1776197796209.png


So is it trimmed or not? Is there some kind of visual difference to help you tell?

If so, is this medal not trimmed? Because I have done the "Bouncy Cleaning Drill" in 120 seconds and visually it looks the same as the one above.

Yes you have it trimmed, what about that screen makes you think it's not trimmed?

I wonder if they're going to add more content in the last few weeks of this calendar. It also looks like they're adding a special banner with 4 equally likely operators, rather than 4 banners with each of the operators. That's gotta sting those who skipped Gilberta and regret it.

It's such a juggling act right now trying to make sure I have full bills in the outpost by the patch without wasting any, while also stocking up full hand-in supplies for the new areas.

I do not want to get caught with 0 stock bills in supply when I want to level up the outpost like I did for 1.1

I am very much looking forward to storage increasing from 58k.

Hmm, I don't have an optimized factory but have been able to buy all the Wuling Artificing Catalysts every week. And I've honestly gotten tired of upgrading and have a hundred or so spare. I have to imagine it'll be even looser when we get new maps.

I wouldn't mind seeing them release a new gear tier that uses more expensive artificing catalysts.

It's funny how big of an impact the sign in event that gives tickets has on the game. The first three days they give out 2, 2 and 1 free banner tickets, so the optimal play is to avoid pulling for the banner operator until the third day. But I'd love to play the new content while I learn a new operator and new team, so I'm hesitant to do it without pulling her.

Despite having all the banner operators and having so much currency saved I'll probably just keep doing dailies and do the new content in a few days.

It's so strange that they have a sign in reward system that demotivates people from pulling the new operators while the new content shine is at its peak. That has to represent lost revenue from people who hold off on pulling to play optimally and then change their mind.

People bitch about this constantly but I absolutely love it. Each character lets me reduce the pity by 10 for the one I really want. It also generates free AIC quota.

I got Rossi in 40 pulls because I had reduced the pity down by stacking the free 10 pulls on Yvonne, Gilberta and Tang Tang.

Currently sitting on 240 unspent pulls. I could literally have gotten every single character for free so far, it has been very generous so far. Not to mention weapons are free!

I got Rossi in 30 pulls because I had reduced the pity down by stacking the free 10 pulls on Yvonne, Gilberta and Tang Tang.

Wait, i don't understand, how did you stack free pulls? I know you can get lots of generic banner pulls, but do you have some way to save the operator specific pulls for a different operator?

No nothing like that. But the 5 daily reward pulls + the 5 pulls you can buy in the shop for AIC quota reduce the 80 pity for a 6* operator, and this does carry over from banner to banner.

Use the 10 free pulls on Laevatain? You now have 70 on Gilberta. Then 60 on Yvonne. Etc, etc.

This allows you a chance of getting the 6 star operator for a surprisingly small amount of premium currency if you drift it long enough. I pulled for Gilberta and got her late, so I got the free 10 pulls on the next banner, plus the 10 free pulls for Yvonne, plus the 10 free pulls for Tangtang, plus the 10 free pulls for Rossi. It dragged the 6* pity down to 40 which is where I got her.

If I had lost the 50/50 I would have had to go to 120, but so far I haven't and it's saved a lot of pulls.
