Mahouka - [Android/iOS] LOST ZERO

[xythun]

Yep the AI is pretty good this time around but it doesn't use buffs/debuffs properly if your party is dependant on them. Definitely better than I am for running a full nuke or reset party.
So far I've just been using my 2 strongest characters+2 cards that proc >100 meter (The 6 star Casino? Mari + Neko Shizuku) to tank my rating to the low 500s and just going after the 600-800 rating people with character levels <60 since Mari's active can one shot.

Be very wary of people in the 500s ranking. Even when I was running my full 100+ c.lvl and 1100+ party I got wiped out through Def Up + Atk down on a Juumonji + UR Shizuku pair I picked while I was zoned out because she has the 9999 blue attack skill.

[Legault]

UR Mayumi and the first Christmas Gacha just dropped, sigh, no dice again, wish Paypal hadn't backstabbed me, I got 2 Honokas though, wonder what that 250% means, guess I'll try her at some point, also damn it, I had already gotten 2 Honokas last Christmas, I wanted a new toon with a Christmas model ;_;

There's also a Guaranteed SR gacha from next event I guess, and new tickets and event for them.

[izuno]

Thanks Legault, especially for the AI tip!
Though I still cant see my card abilities yet, but I suspect Ill eventually find the menu for it XD

[NanayaEmiya]

Very informative, please keep doing this post!
Any tips/strategies for the current event? At the moment, I try to overkill/deathblow last hit enemies while they are in low levels to maximize CP gain. I wonder if how one would fare when stage level <50's or <80's.

BTW, in "tree of light"??? stage (mine happened @ stage level 5), enemy Mizuki's deathblow seems too OP, insta-death one unit (against Shizuku 7★ lvl.105), can somebody confirm this or just glitch on my part?

[Legault]

It seems to be a 40% chance (so a 100% chance then) to one-hit ko when it hits.

I've been meaning to try out a non-model bride Mizuki with her cast jamming and someone like Honoka with a shield to guarantee I can outlast the last wave because it's getting to a point where I can't kill the tree in a three combo and depending on the skills I either get instantly wiped out, or Honoka gives them time to pepper me with enough specials to knock my tree out.

[FAiM]

Hm... only I don't have luck with 6★Shizuku cards drop?
I fully LB-ed other cards, but I have only one 6★Shizuku card from light points.
Now, I switch to darkness stages, so at least I'll have two .

edit
So, I got my second 6★Shizuku card from darkness points and still zero drops .
Continue this no-drop-event or try to get missing cards from a reprint events - a tough choice...

[type-R!]

I don't think we'll make enough global points for the 6 limit break cards, an extra day would be ideal but I guess the devs don't want that. At least the 3 other events are being quite generous in giving 6★ cards (the 30 cp stages) so for those who didn't get them months ago now is the time. I've got about 15 6★cards in like 10 tries of those. I don't know whether to just continue that or keep contributing to the global darkness points.
Btw in the darkness stage if you had a Miyuki in your party and Masaki activates his skill, he will chicken out and kill himself.

[Legault]

From what I've seen the specials are:

Miyuki(Blue): Lowish AoE, 3k, double damage if Mayumi's alive.
Mayumi(Yellow): Varies between 4k to 20k single target slow, it deals triple damage (hence the 20k+ top) if Miyuki's alive.
Yellow Snowman: Revives Mayumi and Miyuki, in Big form it revives all his allies.
Blue Snowman: Heals all his allies for 6kish, in Big form it heals all his allies for 16k.
Red Snowman: Gives ATK buff to Mayumi and Miyuki, in Big form it buffs all his allies.
Light Snowman: Puts up a DEF buff on Mayumi and Miyuki.
Dark Snowman: Grants Mayumi and Miyuki a DMG->HP buff, really annoying.

Since they all otherwise hit for peanuts with their normal attacks, Masaki's top contender on this event.

Also, the numbers below the event that say stuff like 1:4 million something seem to be updated (no idea on the frequency) from live players, so you don't have to slog through 30 slow scrolling pages just to know how much would it take you to break the next bracket.

[Casarial]

It will probably be strange questin here but can anyone recommend me good phone with dualSIM on which that game will work (my old one is dying after a petty year... and I have to have dualSIM and I don't want to quit the game yet...)

The silence, just sad that this kind of games gets really old and forgotten.
Happy Valentines.

[type-R!]

The events these past few weeks haven't been that great with the prize cards, only for exp points and cards. Even the Honoka UR card was kind of let down. And now that everyone has a UR card I wonder what they'll announce tomorrow. New characters and events I hope, I really want to see the Kuroba twins before the game dies.
As for the curent event, the last stage with full UR enemies is proving impossible for me so far. Need to try every strategy since it is only 1bp.

[NanayaEmiya]

Hard fought battle. Though temporary, kinda want to take my last post back. This "Super Strategic Class" gave me a real challenge. The thrill still lingers, and my defeat record probably spiked up. The reward kinda, dunno, what does it do? The 6* Lvl Break, can anyone explain?

Spoiler for Yeah! Oh!:

http://imgur.com/a/lpIGV

From my experience, Shizuku and Juumonji attacks doesn't cut it, stun-slow strategy and singling-out was most effective by using A-chan+Miki combo with heavy damage dealers, let Mari's poison kill the last enemy so that you have 5 full gauges ready at the start of the next wave. Defeating enemy Mikihiko then Mayaka at the start improves your chances, for what it's worth.
2nd wave: cancel deathblow, if not kill, enemy Erika, then procede to Mayumi, may want to save to the last Leo as he's slow.
3rd wave: kinda the breather wave, just don't let Miyuki do her deathblow. Defeat whoever's gauge has fast refill.
4th wave with enemy A-chan's terrifying aura and bgm. Ideal if all 5 characters are able to move immediately. My enemy/deathblow priorities will probably be: Ichijou (fast & almost ohko damage) > A-chan > Honoka (just don't let her cast her deathblow) > Mari. Again, just stun-slowing them and they are no problem. Also, pray to RNG-god as this is the MAIN part of winning this stage (wave 1 especially). Good luck!

[Legault]

I come back from the dead!, to make a long story short I had to replace my old phone after it broke, and since it was a good enough timing I decided to actually research for a new one instead of just buying a replacement, got me an Iphone 6s Plus but had to wait a while because of money, had to use a disposable phone in the meantime, ugh, but it finally came not too long ago and boy is it a beautiful thing, fits perfectly in my hand <3, too bad I missed 3 events on the meantime, got a really nice Miyuki cat maid with an AoE purge+jammer and really nice speed and damage, and the skill ain't too shabby either, and barely managed to get a Mayumi cat maid too with a gacha ticket, also got a Henshin Lina that I might groom later on, because the Swimsuit one that I got made my 111 kills a breeze, only complain I have is her skill that resets her gauge for a measly 300% one time reflect, oh well, thank you RNG ;_;

So we got us a multiple choice time event, depending on the difficulty/BP you use you'll start with less and less time, and the enemies will get tougher, the tip is that the enemy Mayaka's skill makes all advantage attacks (that is, attacks which follow the red -> yellow -> blue -> red weakness) deal 1000%+ increased damage, which means that it's in your best interest to have a balanced party of 3 special AoE hitters, red, blue and yellow, otherwise you'll lose valuable time trying to kill the mooks who have health pools of over 100k on 45 BP, Mayaka's have moderate health pools too, around 60kish or more, of course you'll also need time skills to make it to the last wave, I've seen a rainbow mook of yellow type on the last wave, completing the 45 BP wave awarded me 9.1k points.

Also remember that the skill goes both ways, so be sure to hit first or you'll get a beating or one shot at worst, from my own experience yellow mobs seem to be the most abundant so pack double red AoEs if you can, Mayaka's will alternate between a special that resurrects a downed mob with low health or puts up a DEF on all their color mooks that lasts a couple seconds, an annoyance mostly, but with the 1k% damage modifier, you'll barely notice it unless there's mooks alive, because those can take quite a beating as the waves go on.

Waves will first have a bunch of yellows and a couple blues, then half yellow half blue, then a lot of yellows and a bunch of blues, then more blues than yellows, then a lot of yellows, a couple blues and a token red or so.

You get bonus points depending on how much time left you got, highest I had was like 19.2k at 40 seconds.

[NanayaEmiya]

The game is so dead. Its so gonna meet its maker so soon...
I played the game for exactly a year, was a fun ride. This might be the last post. Enjoy guys...
