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