XMas REM Review 2017 – Break what ain’t broke

Seasonal REMs have been very lackluster lately and unable to attract as many people to rolling. This is largely due to horrible top end rates (8 stars being <1% chance) and so much filler (80% silver rate) meaning you end up with FAR more than you’d ever want to see while chasing for a specific 8 star.

However, over the last year we’ve seen changes to this and hopefully Gungho will be more rewarding to players that decide to spend on REMs that are traditionally trappy as I called this very REM last year.

What changed? For one, the silvers were removed from this REM. Yes, you heard that. 80% of rolls were silver in seasonal / collab REMs so this is a nice change. It will be worth looking out for whether the percentages of everything else just get increased or if the golds take on the 80% rate, 6 star gets the ~15%, etc. But one further step is that instead of the 1.25x rate ups for the 8 stars, they’re giving a whopping 3x rates which, taking the roughly 1% we’ve been seeing lately, brings us to 3% on boosted days. This should hopefully take chases from roughly 344 rolls to 100 or so.

How to Farm: Takeminakata. No Skyfall, Ganesha, 5 active kill

GL1TCH3D Leave a comment

Introduction

This guide will be on farming Takeminakata which is one of the +30 descend drops. This guide is a proof of concept because people told me that it wasn’t possible to make a no skyfall, 5 active kill in NA (the previous build assumed No.6 for the killers to kill Takeminakata).

 

Why was this more difficult to make? Takeminakata has about 6.3M HP vs some of the other descends where you see the bosses at 2-4M which makes it much easier to killer. Takeminakata also has 3 premptive hits, creating a situation of having to clear 4 floors and make a board for floor 5, using only 5 actives. Adding in that 6th active is very easy, but remember, this is a proof of concept and those willing to make it can see benefit in how many partners they can pair with (not needing any specific inherits) and speed (one less active). Just be aware, this is whale and high investment.

RAthena Cloud City’s Scarlet Blaze Dungeon Guide: Floor 9

Floor Nine

What? No special modifier? THIS MUST BE EASY! AND IT WILL BE IF YOU FOLLOW A FEW KEY NOTES!

Though, do keep in mind, this dungeon is still significantly harder than C8. You don’t really get to cheese this dungeon with a single active like the last one and Artemis into Ares is really annoying. Luckily, both are devil attacker so you do have hope in getting some killers for that.

Cosmic Trinity farming with Yog-Sothoth

This article features an updated build inspired by teams seen on JP. See this older article for a review on the dungeon and requirements. Paimon’s new split ult allows us further optimize the previous team. If you can’t make this specific build you should refer to my previous articles on Yog 3P teams to see if you can make a less optimized version.
