[EVENT] The Key of Goetia [Oct 22 - Oct 29]

Thanks cymophane! I would have done more, but I'm doing stupid accredidation stuff at my school right now.

No prob ^^!

@clocks - I added a notice that it's for the ranking was for the JP version, if people wish to use it for reference. Honestly I hope it's changed since their event lasted two weeks, while ours will probably last for only 1... so fighting for that top 100 is going to be a pain X_X;;;;

Right. In VC there was no points boost from using the AF units, they just got buffs within the colloseum battles. The elven brews, or now Roc Vials, are what increase the points you earn per battle.

^ Thanks a lot - that pretty much takes off a lot of pressure to get and use one if you're confident with the squad you otherwise have. Which I, very much so, am.

Does anyone know how the total damage of each unit was calculated? I remember that it wasn't all 3 attack stats added together, but never bothered to figure out exactly how.

I went and looked it up, struesdell had calculated it:

Code:

(HighestDamageStat*SkillModifiers)+(.25*((MiddleDamageStat*SkillModifiers)+(LowestDamageStat*SkillModifiers))

So with this equation in mind, would it be more beneficial to have units with Damage in each area? For example, would a MAX Yuriya be better than a MAX Agnes?

Nope - Better to have a unit like gerhard with most of his stats in one category, the higher total max the better. Consider the following example:

LAND = 20,000
AIR = 0
WATER = 0
TOTAL = 20,000
DAMAGE = 20,000

versus

LAND = 10,000
AIR = 5,000
WATER = 5,000
TOTAL = 20,000
DAMAGE = 16,250

versus

LAND = 8,000
AIR = 6,000
WATER = 6,000
TOTAL = 20,000
DAMAGE = 15,500

Sort of. Although if the formula given is correct, the actual damage that max units do is not particularly distinguished.

Here would be the top by damage:
Heidemarie, Joachim, Sheryl, Bernhard, Ignat, Plautia

That said, I imagine this gets more skewed with a 20% boost factored in ?

Anybody got their line up for event yet?

Looking forward this event

Need strong allies BTW, if you have slots, add me plz

It's time to start to remove inactive allies ~

What about a unit's speed, that affects how many slots they have to wait before their next turn? Or is a unit's attacks speed not part of the equation?

Starters
Erhard (25)
Stefan (15)
Sofi (15)
Meg (25)
Kiki (20)

Benched
Sonia (25)
Remika (20)
Fiona (15)

Is Remika's boost be enough to exchange her with one of my starters?

Assuming it's 100 deploy points, my line up is:

Anastasia
Ignat
Erhard
Sarah
Kyo

I was gonna use Kiki but I switched her with Kyo.

Current plan?
Heide, Sonia, Yuki, Tullia, Livia

If running double Princesses is of use, and I can level her in time, I'll put my Remika in over Livia.

Oktavia (30)
Mihiro (25)
Elena (15)

option 1
Achillea (20)
Hikaru (10)

Option 2
Felicia (15)
-

Option 3
Sonia (25)
-

Option 4
Charl (25)
-

as you can see , i still need more time to prepare

Mine is

Vlad
Nina
Petra
Kyo
Samantha

Hopefully I can place pretty high. Also got really strong allies.

Option 1 is probably your best bet if you can swap Hikaru for something like Biance, Estlin (on a budget), Sarah, or Heide (if you can manage to trade for a 5-Star and grind it).

Option 2 I'd go for Angela (budget + S-ranked Poison can start you off on the right track) or Kyo (beefier but slower). Nina would be perfect but... 6-Star makes her kinda pricey for a single event.

Options 3 and 4 are pretty much the same, in that with your base line-up you can't add anything to them. You'd add to 95 and block out any other units. But it's possible if your Allies are ridiculous to work from there. I lost to someone who deployed a trio of 6-Stars plus two 6-Star allies during Venus.

^ true , i rather use all my points. but there are so many possibilities !

Im going with

Sonia
Kyo
Anton
Agnes
Blad

Its the best I can doo... :/

Also, looking for good alies. Leader now is maxed Sonia.

Looking like:

Laura (15)
Kyo (15)
Bernhard (25)
Mihiro (25)
Achillea (20)

Achillea seems like a better option than Remika since:

1. She's waaay faster B vs D (speed boost can't equalize these, can it?)
2. Still knockback
3. Fits the formula better with pretty much all her attack in her max stat
4. ~60 levels higher and I already have a Kyo and Mihiro that started at 1 today

I think all of that combines to outweigh Remika's boost, right?

Remika's max damage with 20% skill boost is 62,699 while Achillea's is only 43,481. If you factor in the Princess boost, that may well put her damage at over 100k. So if multiple princesses can get boosts, there's no reason to use Achillea.

My team is:
Kiki (Only 5* & Area Attack)
Dhimitrios (second highest damge for 4*, Georgine is way too slow to use)
Remika (5k more damage than Ayaha)
Samantha (Higest damage per cost of any 4*)
Yuriya (Hopefully she's as fast as in regular battles)
Total Cost: 95
Total Damage: 318,662

I haven't finalized my team yet.

Using: Kiki, Mihiro, Samantha (20+25+15=60)

Then either Meg or Sonia (25) and Kyo or Chris or Lies. (15) depending on how quickly I can level Kyo.

Yuki 30
Hediemarie 10
Kiki 25
Laura 15

unfortunately only 5*s I have left are Meg and Sonia. Not sure what to do with those last 20 points yet.

Kiki is 20 points to deploy, leaving you with 25 to play with.

Max Erhard
Max Franziska
Mihiro (50 right now, hoping to max by event)

Still not sure what others to add. Probably Max Lieselotte and either a Claudio or Benedetta for the attack boost.

Finally got the skill that boosts my leads skill by one level, which of those three I listed would be best? Knockback, Poison, or Slow?

My Lineup:

Kyo - 15
Edgar - 20
Stefan - 15
Joachim - 30
Kiki - 20

All but Kyo maxed. Looking to have her ~80 for event time.

My max reserves:

Erhard, Gerhard, Plautia, Sonia, Meg

Can anyone make a better team for me out of those?

Hmm, seems I just can't add then. Guess it's time to figure out if it's Meg or Sonia then. Sonia I think for AoE for this style event?

OH, and many thanks Sientara!! Much appreciated!
