Re: Aegis Thousand Year War - DMM Online Game
Finally 3 stared the last map earlier, just got the silver archer for food for Spica, awesome. I'm not sure if I'm going to put any crystals into this event now though, doesn't look like I'll get much out of them atm. (264 atm, 19 crystals) It's hard to tell how good the new unit will be.
I'm at 284 scrolls, so I'm going to have to skip farming magic crystals today if I want to reach a flat 300 before I stop (would suck if they remove Sedis in the next update). Got 3 copies of Loren so far, which seems fairly good compared to the one person who only got 4 after grinding up to 500 scrolls.
One thing a lot of people noticed was that they changed the description of Ren's class ability—which sounds like it shortens everyone's skill CT (Cooldown Time) as opposed to the skill WT (Warmup Time)—from shortening it a little bit to just shortening it. If this is the case, then she doesn't sound like she's the kind of unit you want to deploy early in a battle, and more like a mid-late battle unit.
If she's the same as Uzume, then at 300 scrolls, she would cost 20 to deploy, which is the same as a platinum princess. And if her affection bonus and base stats are the same, she'll hit over 600 damage at 50CC70, which means she's about the same as a Unicorn Knight Mischa, except with higher HP, but lower defence, and the ability to block 2 units. No one has recorded Uzume's attack speed yet.
Considering that Lilia's skill doubles her defence unlike Sherry's skill that multiplies hers by 1.5, Jelius' strengthen defence IV skill that multiplies his defence by 1.5/1.6/1.8/.. as opposed to 1.4/1.5/1.6/.. like all of the of the units with strengthen attack IV, and black Iris's skill that multiplies nearby allies' defence by 1.5~2.0 for 60 seconds, I think Ren's skill will be stronger than Uzume's, which is 1.1~1.2x attack for 10~15 seconds. Uzume seems like she would work well with assassins, bandits and Dahlia with desperation, and archers with x-shot, and her class ability lets you deploy and retreat cost 4 units for free. There's not very many units with high base defence, so Ren's skill would have to be more like black Iris' to be relevant.
In any case, Ren's usefulness pretty much lies in her class-ability, and whether it lowers the CT a low amount like 5-10%, or something much stronger like 10-25%, which isn't going to change no matter how many scrolls you feed her, so I personally see no reason to grind up to 700.
EDIT:
Just summoned Calliope from my daily free base summon. Yay, now I can cc Belinda, Sedis, and Shiho (though, I have to cc Sedis first to get Valery #3 from Undead Monsters).
EDIT 2:
Just tried Undead Monsters to see if I could survive the early parts up to the liches, and I got 1-star on my first try. Oddly enough, the final rush was a piece of cake thanks to Karma. However, an early gargoyle snuck by Daniella, who just couldn't kill it in time. Otherwise, it's possible for me to 3-star this mission.
