If 5 whole months is "just" 5 months to you, I don't think we'll ever see on the same wavelength on this matter......

And Celeste magna is not having a crappy drop rate for me, in fact. It drops a lot of all the SSRs quite often...........except the claws. My stash is loaded with Celeste SSRs I have stocked for skill fodder (or reducing, for the summon SSRs) because I have 7 scythes all 3-starred (not that I need all 7), a 3-star spear for spear classes until I get something better, and a 3-star harp just in case.

Claw's low drop rate is nothing new.
Mind as well try Olivia instead.
She has slightly better drop rate.

Von Himmel · 2017-07-30, 01:00

Yeah new weapon isn't really worth it when you consider the HL difficulty. It makes team too limited and most will probably be fare better without it..

Not to mention the ultima weapon itself isn't much of an improvement compared to Atma

Exactly what I've been doing for the past few months too for Ancient Cortana drops as well, just not as often as Celeste because my stock of elemental tones is way less than my animas and gold animas.
And I do Celeste HL too to increase drop opportunities.
So for the past few months, a few after I started farming Celeste magna, I've been doing three separate activities that drop Celeste claws with no results. I actually got a normal Cortana flip chest from DA Olivia in the time I got no Celeste claws. And plenty of other normal weapon flip chests from the other tier 1 summon raids. I have three Auberons and I've never hosted a Marius yet. -_-

Se7enSword · 2017-07-30, 11:59

Depends.

For me I'm using it for Fire/Sword and Dark/Sword and it's pretty effective. The best part is that it works with primals.

I can cut out athena spears/Cortana and have room for more offensive weapons. The trium effect is supposedly 20% at sl 10. Stamina/enmity is multiplicative with other stamina/enmity mods as well since it's on a separate modifier. You can also theoretically get 70% or so trium from the grid because it goes over the 50% grid limit.

Can't make Nirvana until tomorrow, so won't be able to do HL raid until then.

What?! You have Summer Zooey and I don't?! This game must be rigged!

...Am I doing this right?

Come on Shinji, surely you don't need a lesson in probabilities at this point. If there's a 5% chance of an event occurring, someone might trigger it on the first try, someone else might try 1000 times and not get it. Both ends are unlikely but they're well within the realm of probability. Nobody has it in for you, least of all Cygames.

Besides, I haven't been playing nearly as long or as passionately as you have but I've done my fair share of Celeste hunting and I've only seen one claw drop as well. Unless recently I thought drops were a myth. Yooouuu are not aloooone, I am here with yoooou, though we're far apaaaart...

Welp, gave it a shot and managed to clear it.

The one floating around twitter, except instead of sage i went as Sparta. If i had GW sword it would've been much better, as lack of it really hurts for the last 10% of the fight.

R potion character is too rng reliant, f sochie is better imo to tank some autos instead of relying on his rng for potions. A shame i don't have her.

I'll be able to make my nirvana after tomorrow's reset, so taht will help me survive and not lose my MVP as well.

I guess I'll take this

I noticed this is exclusively for the 16m player mark. Doesn't summer have a campaign as well?

**Klashikari** · 2017-07-31, 07:52

No. Usually, when there is a XM player campaign, they pretty much skip the seasonal compaign considering they work pretty much the same way.

AnimeFangirl · 2017-07-31, 13:19

Free rolls! During Legfest! Maybe I'll get a grand total of 1 SSR like I did last time. Here's hoping I draw a sword character. I need the stones for my earth and light grids. A dagger would be nice too.

Their choice of which one to celebrate was weird though. If they had done a Summer Campaign, everyone would say "Yay, summer!" and no one would ask about 16M. But do 16M without Summer and everyone's like "Where's summer?"

**Klashikari** · 2017-07-31, 13:27

It has more marketing impact in general, be it within the playerbase and the bystanders AND the investors.
Userbase celebrations are an "evidence" of good health for a mobage or MMO. This is especially true for GBF considering they are losing grounds to FGO for a while already.

Also, people don't really care about summer campaign because what mostly define summer for the playerbase is the presence of the summer limited characters.

AnimeFangirl · 2017-08-01, 06:02

Oh, naruhodo. I didn't think about the investors/outsider aspect at all. Of course 16 million is an impressive number worth boasting about from that perspective. It's just that players get X million celebrations 2-3 times a year while seasonal celebrations like Summer, Halloween and Christmas only come once, so personally those are more exciting.

zerodragon · 2017-08-01, 17:00

so how has everybody luck been with free draws? so far i was able to pull Orchid today. i finally have my first front line ssr dark team with orchid,lady grey, and Cagliostro (newer version). now i need the rest of the elements XD

also does anyone know the song that plays when the sea urchin is 1/3 of its life left? really enjoying it

Shinji103 · 2017-08-01, 20:31

Still having bad luck on the draws.

Hooves · 2017-08-02, 00:56

I got S.Izmir on first 10-draw. Today no luck
Finally got mushroom girl after like 100+ runs, then got rabbit

**Klashikari** · 2017-08-02, 10:58
