>the former has a welfare student whose elephs you can only quickly and efficiently grind during the event and Trinity mats are always in short supply, the latter doesn't have a welfare student nor are Shanhaijing mats that sought after

What the fuck is their endgame?

To torture everyone with FOMO because when Steel Continent Assault starts up here soon people who didn't grind the fuck out of Serenade Promenade are gonna be feeling the burn when we (actually we due to global hp) have to fight Geburah.

I've barely even done any research into how the new Fest is gonna work, I think I read that the story will continue even after the Fest is over with subsequent events and that there won't be any of the usual event missions or challenges, it's all gonna be server-wide raids. I think I've read that you will only be able to pick difficulties from Hardcore and up but you'll be allowed to re-enter the boss raid with your best team (or teams with bosses whose different phases require different setups) as many times as you want.

Sponsor who doesn't post in this thread could've at least put Momoi on the banner. I also don't understand what's up with the League of Legends character there.

I'm able to defeat Hovercraft on Torment, double-dipping with School Neru and comfortably getting placed in the middle of platinum rank. Just copied teams in-game and didn't need to follow a video guide for exact sequencing, though the I do need to restart the Wakamo phase a lot every day because it's still tough to do.

Korean feminist hand gesture for small penis. There are so many layers in that banner that it's not worth dissecting, especially when the entire thing is about his obsession with wanting to continue a fairly pointless fandom war with me.

Yeah iirc Wakawife is still the raid with among the lowest amount of Insane+ clears. The second phase is kinda braindead but in the first phase you really gotta be paying attention at all times to make sure to keep her stunned or she'll just casually nuke either your backline or your tank and at that point you're fucked.

I'd say that similar to Kurokage, while there's no (as) serious "roster check" like in Geburah or a hard "execution check" like in Yesod, there's just enough of both to make clearing the highest difficulties very much non-trivial.
 
It seems that our friend Liam O'Logheln (DOB: 11/19/1996, UK) is back at it with retarded takes. Has anyone else noticed how these "bait" posts have increased in frequency as of late? I believe they're testing the waters to see if things have calmed down enough for them to fly under the radar.

The only acceptable answer to those people:
 
They just added area 30 to global, with Cherino's eleph now being grindable in the 3rd hard mission! This means that there are now only two students left that are in the Archive banner who can't be gotten through either grinding hard missions or by buying them with raid/PvP/JFD coins - Ako and Shun.

and this is finally possible on dorm 2.........
 
Finished the event story and it felt... underwhelming. It was interesting to finally get Kais backstory and her history with Kisaki, but it felt like the overall story arc did not go anywhere and ended before it got started. Kai wanted to create an elixir to reach enlightenment but i guess the first one she created didn't do the job and just made her stronger? And then was defeated before she could create one that worked. I was also confused Kisaki was temporary cured by the tyke virus but still looked the same as she dose now, implying she has always been a womlet. Kai just gives up in the end. dosent even try to run away and lets herself be taken prisoner. Felt that was bit anti-climactic to be honest.

Once again, i really did like Kai and Kisaki backstory. Kai was a bastard that only cares about herself and her work, so she never bothered helping the students bodies that she damaged and just decided to use them as test subjects. While she did get results, it ended up running her reputation which let her to get expelled. But at the same time, i understand why she went on the revenge path that she did. Her time as a student was almost over and she would have left anyway but Kisaki decided to expel her regardless, ending up wasting almost 3 years of her life and leaving her with a ruined reputation and no home to return to. And yet, Kisaki cant take all the blame either since she was more or less forced to do it, as she was forced to become the leader of Genryumon against her will and was still inexperienced as a leader.

I did like that Kai calls out Saya for being doing some shady experiment on her own but Unlike kai, Saya owned up to her failures and tried to fix them.. She may not have gotten as good of result as Kai when it came to making cures, but less people got hurt by Saya because she has ethics she believes in.

Overall, the story was mid that was basically carried by two characters.

I have no idea how the fuck you are supposed to do the third extra stage, the description makes it sound like using any debuff removal clears the allies, but it doesn't work when using it on an individual one or on my own teammates. Ended up just using group heals to sustain.

Really want to gamble for Mari but 62K is too little before a goated fest. Maybe I'll use a choice ticket.

Saw a post about this. Weirdly enough the schizos were right and they extended the Global Schedule for the entire Steel Continent/Decagrammaton event by a few days. They probably cut the Serenade Promenade event down by a week due to this.
