|OT| Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium | Vector (May 1st)

Thanks for the tip about starting and quitting the vampire survivors mode to get it to count as a run. Got 60 extra collapse pieces for doing nothing. Aphelion officially completed with all possible rewards.

I don't fully understand how boundary push works. I've only done a few stages because it keeps putting my team in cooldown and then I forget about it because it's hidden away in the interface. Once you complete all stages do you just send your teams as a weekly assignment to get rewards? Are you meant to replay all stages every week? Not really sure how it works.

Yeah, 15 hours cooldown for deployment. Like you said, basically do all the bounties while collecting boxes, then send out dolls to collect the remaining rewards. Rewards refresh every week.




Mica!!! Why are you doing this to me

Welrod :blobeyes: My first 5* / oath in GFL1 finally arrives. I need Mica to make her playable asap.

Judging from the 2D sprite, she is even shorter than Vector? What?

Finished Vector's event. A nice side story event and a good way to introduce her squad (of which no one outside of her is still playable even if they're all confirmed to live in the Elmo). The story felt like a shorter remake/sequel of the GF1 Division collab but I enjoyed it so I didn't care about it too much (and it's not like GF2 hides the connection considering it's even namedropped in the cutscene). The event had a good pace too. I liked Koshmar's animations and expressions, and I laughed at how she is basically an anti-Klukai boss with her 8 anti-AOE's counterattacks. Can't wait for the lv60 challenge battle
Now let's hope the commanders won't have to wait too much for office lady Welrod

So I ran into an issue where my weapon attachment inventory filled up. I've not been actively farming attachments but they come from random quests and stuff anyway. I had previously tried to use up some of the low tier attachments to calibrate my weapons to make them better but the inventory just kept filling back up. It's difficult to discard the bad gold-tier attachments because the filtering system doesn't work well and manually going through hundreds of attachments is a pain. So the other day I decided to properly calibrate weapon attachments for all my level 60 crew and just clean out the junk that way.

Turns out, the combat score system is complete bunkum. I typically just auto assign attachments to weapons and calibrate them once but this time I actually made the effort to slot in correct attachments. The auto system sometimes doesn't even use 3 attachments from the same set. So I did all that, used those chips to increase calibration by 100% and ended up with objectively better attachments than I had previously... and then the combat score for that doll went down. This happened over and over and made my head spin. It's not random and there's clearly an algorithm calculating this score in the background so why is it working this way? I know the score is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but it was fairly annoying to see this happen and I ended up with about 6 dolls around 12k score give or take a few hundred.

And while doing all this I didn't realize I was burning through Sardis gold so I went broke there lol. Went through between 3-4 million gold. But on the bright side, cleaned out half my inventory of weapon attachments and now I'll actually need to farm more to get upgrades on the weapons.

I managed to pull 2 copies of Vector and 1 copy of her signature weapon in about 170 pulls. I haven't really paid attention to character elements before now but I had leveled up Ksenia and Sharkry in preparation to make a full fire team. Turns out, using complementary units is a big force multiplier to a team (who could have possibly known :P). My fire team of Qiongjiu, Vector, Ksenia and Sharkry can do a lot of damage. I've gotten better scores in Gunsmoke with them and I actually managed to complete all the 10 boss fight stages with adequate scores. Even managed to do a couple of Crossroad bosses with them, although I need to quit and retry to get this team in different stages of each fight.

I now regret not pulling Mechty for Klukai. In fact, I regret not pulling more copies of Klukai. I have a decent stash of tickets and I'm always saving them for the future in case my 50-50 luck goes bad. But there's also no point in just holding on to hundreds of tickets for future dolls. Klukai in particular does so much damage when I borrow one of you guys' high level ones. If I had known I would have tried to get at least 1 extra dupe of her.

Speaking of borrowing dolls, can someone share Centaurissi please? I need her to do that one achievement in the new achievement system. Has anyone managed to get the free Vector skin yet? I'm at around 2000 points and it seems difficult to get to 2400. It seems a lot of points can be had from completing boss challenges but I really think you need whale level teams to complete some of them.

Sure. Don't expect much from her since she has 0 dupes though. She is also good for this Gunsmoke boss
I think the reason other commanders skipped dolls like Centauressi and Mechty is because they just look at tier lists without thinking about synergies. Yes, of course dolls like Klukai, Qiongjiu and Makkiato dish serious damage, but they can dish so much more with a proper team, and supports can also provide help in uncommon situation (like needing to cleanse debuffs). In a few months I'll most likely get a few more Klukai and Mechty dupes when they rerun because boy is that combo amazing

ZeroShiki from the platoon has set Centeuressi as support doll. I still haven't looked at the achievement list yet (nor did the Vector event). I think I only have 1000~points so far.
 
I don't even own Reissi's SR weapon lol. Somehow it never dropped for me and the drops from rolls are just the retired ones. I ended up with enough drops to bring the retired version to C6.

In my case, I didn't play the first game so I have no particular affinity to any of the characters. I just pick whoever seems like a good idea. But more to the point, I'm conditioned by mihoyo games to pull only once every 3 patches or so. That's how long it takes in those games to guarantee a character for light spenders ($5 a month folks). This game seems a little more generous when it comes to giving out premium currency. I think we're out of the launch window now where the initial flood of premium currency is done and we're going at the regular rate. So maybe I'll modify how I think about pulling characters now. For Vector, I had about 405 pulls waiting and was on 60 pity on the banner. I lost the 50-50 immediately on the first 10 pull and got a dupe of Mosin-Nagant. Then I got my guaranteed Vector and won the 50-50 twice to get her weapon and another copy of her. But if I had lost both those 50-50s then I would have needed possibly another 150 tickets to get what I did. I ended up with 240ish tickets after pulling and I've already gone back up to 280ish since the banner came out. I plan to stock up on tickets until Springfield and will pull at least 1 copy of Klukai when she reruns. I'll also try and get Mechty next time around.
