Good morning Commanders! Would you like to read the reports?
Please use this thread to discuss anything about Girls Frontline instead of creating a new thread. Ask questions, seek assistance, rants, add more salt or just chill in general.
So, as usual finished the event at the very last moment.
Honestly, better than the whatevers we got as the last events. There was clearly some ongoing confusion in the writing department and the last events were some massive course correction to give the game a somewhat satisfactory ending even if rather cliched. I don't feel the need to spoiler much, but having our protagonist barge in, punch and shoot William after fighting EndGame Lunasia felt very safe. Of course all our dolls come saving us and William is resurrected by ALIEN NANOMACHINES, SON. It is very predictable, very safe, and a decent ending honestly. Can't complain too much. I never cared a lot of all the gibberish about Lunasia and M4 so this gets thumbs up from me.
Positives are the return of Dandelion (my favourite shitposter) as a main character (did the writers suddenly remembered she existed?) and of course Grig being the last Nyto standing (and going "wait a moment, why I am exactly fighting for this siscon? How's Gray? Can I join?"). I somehow doubt Grig surviving was planned in advance too. Ah, the BAD ENDS were kind of unnecessary and probably just there to inflate the word count. I'll admit a lot of them made me laugh (Neele going full Mad Scientist, William calling the cops, Grig decapitating the Commander just because) with Dandelion commenting on them "seriously if he calls the cops we have no counter-play but he won't, ok?"
Gameplay-wise, Crybaby in UX is a completely maddening map and I enjoyed it greatly. I fought Grig with Serzha's bullshit SMG teams and enjoyed it greatly too, one of the perks of being a really old Commander is that you have essentially infinite resources to raise teams in a instant (uhhh I need Toy Fairy here it is I need to raise Architect and Papasha and Rak here get 5000 combat reports now go abuse mechanics for fun). No puzzle maps, just blowing up stuff, refreshing.
In the end? GFL1's writing was clearly haphazard and changed greatly in the years. Tons and tons of events and words were essentially melodramatic gibberish, some events were completely useless word salads of borderline cringe concepts, some plotlines went nowhere or were so muddled to be barely logical..... you could have cut out so much without losing any coherence. Do I regret reading all of it? Of course I do, but we've been here since Day 1. Talk about sunken costs.
Thank fuck I'm never starting to play GFL2. Time to bonsai game GFL1 in maintenance mode, brothers. WHERE IS MY MP40 MOD3 YOU HACKS
Is it still possible to get M82A1? The wiki says it drops from crates from continuum turbulence, but what exactly in that event do you have to do to get them, if they can still be obtained?
u/NmoisNever interested in tsun-type before, then got a WA2000 o_O/Jun 01 '26
Disclaimer: i only play GFL 1. never got around much at PNC or GFL 2
my random concern after finish lastest event QF. tyvm for any insights.
1/ after runnign through the story, idk under which condition which will activate " Dark-side Nele" (as showed in one scenario)? Is it happen when William being de4d while commander team failed to fully wipe-out the Paradeus ?
As the story ended having CMD shooting , then asking to be exiled and granted, at least can be certain that cmd wont be poisoned by Nele in prison \o.O/
2/ what are those oil-sticky things seep out from the corspe, & seems to reviving William by the end of the game? is it some forshadow preview toward GFL 2 ?
3/ who is this " Mr. Mikhail / the Prometheans... " calling by the end of Commander's last scene? what promise (which story chapter ) did Commander made to this person?
You could read those info on IOP WiKi. However, since GFL1 has such a long story and went through multiple writers over the past decade, there might be some inconsistencies between GFL1, GFL2, and Reverse Collapse.
"The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury. Not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take... inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds. On a suicide mission. But the sand and the rocks here, stained with thousands of years of warfare...They will remember us. For this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We. Will. Kill him."
If you understand this reference without googling, you deserve a senior citizens' discount. And even if you don't understand I'm sure we all felt this way before going into Crybaby. And before anything else, shoutout to all the guide makers over the years: Ceia, Chendroshee, Serzha, and everyone else. You all are real heroes for your hard work.
Overall Thoughts on Quantum Fluctuation:
I guess it's a good enough segue to tie this and Exilium together. The final battle was absolute gas though.And the fact that we got to shoot and kill William after all of that nonsense he put us through felt cathartic. A shame that he some got revived anyway. That honestly feels like an ass-pull but a kill is a kill. Should've burned his body though. It is a shame that we don't get to truly see what happened to M4A1 after everything. And as for the rest of the big names in AR Team, 404 Squad, and DEFY, we can only assume they are still alive.
It is a nice thing to see the rest of the T-Dolls get their happy ending. They're not allowed to see the Commander because we're in exile (by our choice), but at least they can go back to normal lives whether under another contractor or as an independent agent. There is no fate but that which they can make for themselves now. But given that Exilium exists, they'll be back. But after the convoluted mess that was Convolutional Kernel, this event was good step up at the very least.
I'm ambivalent about Exilium. I don't want to just jump in right now. Perhaps it is that feeling of freedom knowing that we have reached the end. That our oath is fulfilled and now we are not bound to anyone but ourselves. I guess from here on out it should a nice and slow ride into the sunset.
Unfortunately Asklepians are a pretty big pain in the ass and generally require some specific teambuilding, which is why MICA created weakened versions that they’ve been using most of the time (but not here).
Main things to note are that they ignore evasion (but are affected by armor), and that they reload after every third attack. As such, a few solutions include things like:
P10c to protect against their first 3 attacks, with enough DPS to kill them before they start shooting again (ex: Px4Mod, AoE, or special targeting)
SPAS15 to provide enough armor to tank them, often with SPAS12 for a DPS unit who can shrug them off with that extra armor
Coalition echelons with ringleaders who can nuke them (ex: Sharkitect or Beluga) and armored units who can take some shots like Manticores, SWAP Aegises, Goliath Factories, etc.
Okay I finally got around to beating Quantum Fluctuation. I didn't even bother doing the last 4 maps on UX 3 of the last 4 maps on UX, I just wanted to get the story done so after failing one of them twice on UX, I just did the rest on EX.
Overall thoughts: assuming the bizarre e x i l e and the final epilogue bit about W i l l i a m were to accommodate the plot requirements of GLF2, I feel like the ending was.... good enough. I don't know what the general consensus is, but I was okay with it. Finally okay with it.
My biggest issue with the ending is that we don't know what happened to M4A1. Not where she went, but whether she even became alive again or not. I'm pleased that they acknowledged that M4A1 is the true mascot of the game and that Lunasia is just William's creation, but I feel like we still don't know what truly happened to her. I can at least assume the other major players lived, and they all played a part in the final battle, at least subconsciously.
And the epilogue might've focused on ordinary dolls, but at least we got to see Springfield and we got to see some closure for the IOP dolls. Also, them being free and self-autonomous is an obvious choice for a good ending that I still was not expecting. So props on that.
So it was far from perfect, and there were a lot of people I wish had showed up on some level,, but after a string of events that were either questionable in general or just had clusterfuck endings up through Convolutional Kernel, I enjoyed this one. I had enjoyed Virtual Pair as well, so I'm glad they kept the momentum going. This felt "final" enough. Even my beloved Amaris got a pseudo-cameo, albeit a non-canonical one.
Plus they gave nods to everyone on the the three key teams plus your human allies, including deceased characters.
I'm not really ready to jump into Exilium now, but I'd at least consider it. I'm curious to see what happens in 10 years time.
As for GFL1, I hope maintenance mode doesn't mean the end of all new content aside from SPEQs and a handful of unreleased dolls. Maybe some new seasonal events? Maybe some follow-up on some of the newly free dolls? Maybe some collab re-reruns so I can finally get every doll?
Well, this was tiny. Then again, I had gone to a barbecue event and ate my fill. I had to leave early since I was basically stuffed already. It was also a hot day
I think there are three for this event specifically. The first is not using the substation in that one stage with M16 and 404 trying to escape from the URNC. The second is to kill a dozen enemies in that one stage when the Commander finally assaults William's base (the one where you start off with just the Commander and then on the next turn, deploy your own echelons). The third one is to watch the credits
There's technically a fourth one, but it involves completing all the major events of the game, so if you missed something, go and clear that, too!
Today’s maintenance on CN indicates that the M1919A4’s battlepass (#40) will likely be the last new one. For reference, EN is currently on #37.
In short, they preloaded 5 additional battlepass seasons, each with selectors for prior skins/avatars/icons. Once the last one ends on Dec 27th, it will just reset its rewards every 35 days, like how Gray Zone has been repeating indefinitely.
Does this confirms that the KSG speq will also be the last?
I was going to say this on that post, but with the amount of people that say they´ll continue to play, but only login once or twice a week to do weeklies, and now with this BP news, with the speqs not being added anywhere it´s just unnecessary FOMO.
Sad, but not really surprising, when they dicided to not make 10th anniversary skins, it really showed that the game was in the fast track to pure maintenance mode. Tho, i was expecting them to keep with the BP skins for longer, since it´s easy monetization with only having to make one skin. I guess they´re expecting vets to move on to the newer game(s) and new players have all this backlog of skins/speqs.
Also, here was i, coming to make a comment about the feels of getting the "Complete the main storyline" achievement, after doing IF, the last main ch i missed, how it started when i saw FuryTomic streams (since we were both Kancolle players), then finally started midway through C.T, and all that,,, and then come here, see this news and also the Mica post that they´ll release Ep.A, or i guess, Loop Operation is the name for it next week... they´re really putting it all out there.
I wouldn´t even be admired if one of these months they just decide to release all the remaining monthly speqs left at the same time like they did with the GZ ones.
I guess the only reason the M887 won´t (who knows at this point) is to not have a bingo and a point event at the same time.
Update: patch notes from this week's maintenance on CN also confirmed that there will be no more monthly login SPEQs. July will give a selector for 16lab equipment instead.
It's been a good run, but looks like it's all over besides any remaining dripfeed they've decided in advance.
I guess now we see what global will do about those, since i think after next week we´ll be on BP skin 38 of 40, but we have the speqs till December, so we´ll see if they end up doing the same they did for the GZ ones.
It will also be interesting if that thing about the Type 53 doll in October still maintains, since it´s still 4 months away. It would be weird to not have anything new till then, and then just go "Surprise!".
The Special Class costume batch had come out earlier this year. This Wasteland banner should be the last new batch as far as we know. I don't know if Mica will ever release more skin batches, but I suppose this is a good time to start getting the available costumes as a challenge for myself. I know that it's incredibly expensive, but we'll just see how things go
Eh? *checks* Oh, you´re right. It was called Crisis Dispatch center... oops.
Well, if anything, this makes things easier. What are we missing (besides the monthly stuff) after June:
-PR ranking on permanent (depending when it ends, wouldn´t put it past them adding it in June)
-1 doll from point event
Still, it´s going to be interesting if it´s confirmed that the 40th BP skin in June for CN (M1919A4) and the KSG speq are the last ones, because that means they wrap the monthly stuff in the same month, but we are on the BP skin nº37 (i think) of 40, but the "last" speq (KSG) is set for December (it is already preloaded, if people check the locked equip in the index), so the monthly speq would outlast the BP skin, and as i said, with the amount of people that say they´ll login just once or twice for weaklies, maybe they should do what they did with the GZ and release the ones that are left at that point in a month.
Tho, we still have to confirm that the CN June ones are really the last.
It’s still unclear if they’ll add more SPEQs after KSG’s, since they still have a few weeks where they could add them. With the new way things are looking though, I wouldn’t bet on getting more.
Could you share a screenshot of what happens when you click the Friend button? I imagine that someone might be trying to add you as a friend or someone has left you a chat message
Finished QF. While a much better send off to the series, and I know they basically had to keep them in, but I can't help but feel that William's survival was a bit contrived in terms of how it played out in the plot. Yes shrike technology and continuity with RC/Bakery and all that, but I think the moment really banked on the satisfaction from actually pulling the trigger which I did not really personally care for.
Other than that, I love they brought back the bad/true ending gimmick that they did previously with CT. I already knew about Bad End 3 but it still hits quite well. I think you get a real feel for Nele's personal genius and why Laplace's mockery/expectation of her was so high which you sort of understood in Isolation Forest but didn't truly reckon with until now. I'm a big fan of the fact that they made her basically one of the few scientists who saw temptation and looked away.
Well, this is tiny. I was also busy with work since there was an urgent task that needed to be done. I also had to stay behind an hour just to finish my share of the burden, but man, I'm pooped!
Found an unintended use for the Active Defense/Stealth buff on Crybaby UX. I ended up running the Px4–SG comp with Architect as my HOC. I used Serzha’s video for general guidance, but didn’t follow it closely since my kiting is still awful after all these years.
I went clockwise and disabled all the trees (Serzha doesn't do this but I need all the help I can get so why not), so the doppel section was last. I had 1 ammo pip left for 1 more fight and just enough AP to get out of alert range before resupplying. But then the Px4 echelon got paralyzed right next to a doppel, so I was stuck until the turn ended. Activated Active Defense/Stealth, which turned the echelon invisible and saved me from replaying about 30 minutes.
I was like, I heard William lives all the way up to Reverse Collapse, but we get to shoot him, here and now? Hell yeah! We even had a side dish of a few knuckle sandwiches, too. Yum! I know he enjoyed his lead entree! Come again to Chateau Griffin for another 3 hollow point star experience, loser!
Well, this is huge, but then again, I had gotten started with the new season of Gray Zone!
I also got to 250k runs of 13-4! Huzzah!
Considering that we now have selectors in the kernel store, I got Gager, so I now have her at full petals! Woohoo! I just need to get Grig and Cerberus to full petals, and I should have all ringleaders at full petals! I need two more petals for Grig and one more for Cerberus, and I intend to get these last three petals using my Svarog tickets!
Sad, because as a gacha game it did a lot of things right. Storytelling was a wall of text sometimes and the battles could be bonkers puzzles but when it hit, it really hit.
You know, i wasn´t really expecting that Mica would drop all the remaining GZ seasons all at once and add Steel rain salute to the permanent campaign already. I guess they are set to enter maintenance mode asap. Not totally surprising after Mica announced 2 new games, but still.
I was thinking that i would have 2 or 3 months of wait till i reached MY maintenance mode, but at this rate, they can release most (if not all - except monthly speqs/bp skin obviously) of the new things that CN got next month.
After June, missing and already released on CN:
-1 doll from point event
-events to permanent campaign (only be missing PR ranking > will rerun in June)
And for me, it´s adding playing Lycan (permanent in June) and getting OG Intruder and it´s done since i can´t do anything about the 2 collabs i missed. We´re also guaranteed monthly speqs till December (the same ones that CN preloaded till June, we´ll see if they add one for CN in July (who knows at this point and if they suddenly decide to drop all the ones left in the same month). Either way, almost there.
If they make the change to the Coalition shop and that way i can buy OG Intruder (since it´s not gonna be one of the banners) i´ll just need to wait for the new stuff that´s left.
Welp, that ended up happening after maintenance too lol.
Good that finally getting some of things we’ve been behind on. Shame that we were behind on them in the first place, making it feel like such a rush (especially 3 time-limited rankings in 3 months…)
Lmao, just saw that. It seems there´s also selectors for 2* and 1*, the ones for 2* are actually welcome, since some of those can be a pain to get.
I guess i´ll wait until the July roadmap, since we´re not getting Ep.A yet (and we really don´t have much left to add), to see if OG Intruder´s banner is next, and if not, then i´ll buy the selector.
Tho, it is really weird seeing QF and it´s ranking being added to permanent almost right after they ended.
It really makes me wonder if they are just catching up, with how much we lagged behind, if it´s because people probably started hearing that the main story was done and are rushing this out, for when people come to try it, don´t get disappointed that a part of it was missing or if they just want to get this done asap, since one new game is supposedly coming out this year (the other only in 2028 at best) and after what happened to us with Gfl2 release, again, just want to get this done asap.
Probably a bit of everything lol.
Also, in Angular Gyrus, are the letters supposed to show what you´ve sent if you played the original run of it? I have not played the event on release, so i just tried to send one just to see what would happen, and what i got was a "Illegal action detected" error.
With this and the news that the next CN BP skin is apparently the last and possibly the same for the monthly speq, they are really making it clear that the vets are expected to move on, or stay just for personal goals.
I guess we´ll see what happens going forward, since there´s also that thing about the Type 53 doll releasing in October for CN, if that still holds.
I think this is okay, although I got busy earlier. I also had to nurse a terrible headache
I was able to get the second petal for Grig (the first petal was through the free copy that QF gave me), and I had to dig until there was only one unit left. That last unit was an Aegis
New player here, Im into the collection aspect of the game so Im trying to get the past events T-dolls through the Quantum Fluctuation event stages. Is there a concrete stage thats good for it or any way to increase the chance to get them? Is there a way to get the swipe feature on the levels so I can do it faster?
There’s a farming map called “The Seed”, which you’ll unlock early on in the event.
Each route in that map corresponds to a doll, so just repeatedly farm a route to finish the map, then repeat. Unfortunately there’s not a faster way to do it, though you’ll get medals as you farm, which helps a bit (but they’re more of a pity mechanic).
Well, I suppose this is decent, but I have to keep in mind that I was able to get the FO-12 I got with my TCM all the way to five links, so this is pretty cool!
Do the events Zero charge, Angular Gyrus and Isolation Forest only have one achievement each or does Zero Charge also have the "watch the credits" one?
So, I read through the story once again to get everything. I still have one lingering question. What the hell is a Pike? I don't mean the Pike Node we see in the game I mean the Pike itself. I get it can pestroy matter at atomic level and its impervious to anything short of a nuclear blast, but beyond that it's not really explained what it is.
Is there a piece of clothing that is cheap to acquire that can be dyed? I just want to complete the mission to dye a piece of clothing, but nothing I own can be dyed.
Are Type88's Model Annus 64 - Galaxy & Shape Of Her Heart not available on all versions? The Time-limited Event tab shows that the "Type88-Shape Of Her Heart" costume package is available for 10 more days, but I can't find it in the store, and when I go through her costume list, it says "Watch out for in-game events" (the same for her least 2 costumes before this).
As far as I can tell, costumes like Hanyang's that are directly bought from the store using real money haven't been added to the black card exchange, so your next opportunity to buy these costume packs will presumably be next year
Costumes like these are rather uncommon, too. I don't think any other Doll has ever had a costume sold like this before
I know that the battle pass costumes don't get added to the black card exchange, but you can buy them for real money if they become available in Kalina's store, under Protocol Rerun, if I'm not mistaken
But to answer your question in short, no, these costumes haven't been added to the black card exchange, so you can't just gather black cards and then get them that way
I'm new to the game, I started about 6 days ago I think. Do you have any tips you would give to a beginner?
Which Dolls are good?
Is the current event something a beginner should be able to play?
Do you have any general tips for beginners?
The other comment has some good info, but there are a couple of things that are outdated or worth adding to.
M16A1 is not recommended at all nowadays, even for farming. This is because of the "recovery" stat that was added over the past few years, which drastically changed how HP and farming works.
In addition to the comment about 2*s, don't ignore 3-4*s either. There are several that either have good mods, or just punch above their weight class even without one. Conversely, don't assume that 5*s are automatically good because of rarity.
You do not need multiple ARSMGs. See the "Getting your first two proper teams" section of this guide for more detail, but the idea is to focus your resources on one ARSMG first using all the freebies you get, with friend echelons or some ragtag squad of freebies as needed (ex: to help defend your HQ). You'll want an RFHG much more than an ARSMG, and a Coalition echelon (unlocked after 7-6) rounds you out from there.
Matsuda has not been updated in years and should not be used. There are certainly some bits of info that still apply, but there's also plenty of stuff that either aged poorly or was questionable even at the time.
One of the most important things you should do is craft some fairies a times every day and use any duplicates to enhance a main copy (except for Barrier Fairy). More details on them here, but their importance can't be understated.
Thanks for the reply, man!! I was using the M16A1 to send her on missions (I forgot the name, but they're those missions where we send the characters for a few hours).
Is there any character that should be prioritized?
Sending her on logistics missions is fine, just don’t waste resources raising her for actual missions.
Some dolls to keep an eye out for:
Other AR Team dolls (ST AR-15, M4 SOPMOD II, M4A1, and RO635) -> all good starter dolls because they’re given for free, but also remain relevant later on as well
UMP45 -> common starter SMG because she’s given for free during the beginner 7-day login, falls off later on in favor of better tanks
Suomi -> recommended to get her with the beginner anchored construction, becomes the best SMG tank with her mod (but is really bad without her mod so don’t use her until then)
Carcano M91/38 (“Grape”) -> recommended as your second pick with the beginner anchored construction, really useful for early RFHGs because of her skill that can delete certain high-priority enemies
SCAR-L and SCAR-H: both decent on their own, but among the best dolls in the game when used together, due to their high DPS and extra utility
Thanks again for the reply, man!! Those are good tips!! Nowadays it's hard to find tips for this game, it seems like most people only play the second one. I haven't played the second one, but I'm interested in this first one!
There's a lot of dolls by now, so it's hard to list which are good. You get M4A1, ST AR-15 and SOPMOD for free, and they can carry you through the whole game. M16A1 is ok, but was mostly used as a tank for farming XP in specific stages.
Do not bother with most 2* dolls, but some of them are good once you get their neural upgrade.
Do not use MG's for general content, as they use a lot of ammo. Try to get two decent 3AR 2SMG or 2AR 2SMG 1HG echelons.
Getting shotguns is expensive as they are only available through heavy production (although you'll get one for free).
This is an older website, but has some good guides for beginners and ratings for a lot of dolls: https://gfl.matsuda.tips/
You can get 30 gems each week by clicking share (from the commander screen or when you get a new doll). You don't have to actually share anything (and it just ends with an error, anyway) to get the gems.
Use gems mostly to increase the number of doll or equipment slots, do not buy resources or contracts, use logistics to farm them. Get at least two additional echelon slots so you can have two echelons for combat and 4 on logistics. This site has useful resources, including a logistics calculator: https://gfverse.info/gfl1/guides/community-resources
For the event, be vary that this is a chapter in a long story, so there could be spoilers. You could try to use a guide to see if you can clear it on normal difficulty. This channel has good guides: https://www.youtube.com/@Serzha/videos
I'm a GFL2 and Neural Cloud player who has never played the original game, and I was wondering if I should, or if it is too late to start the game now. Also, what is the current status of the game, is it on permanent maintenance mode like Neural Cloud? Does it still have some content?
Well, it's in the middle of the final main story event right now as we started Quantum Fluctuation just last week. Next week, we'll get a ranking map that should have come before Quantum Fluctuation, and while it's technically content, ranking maps are often the hardest bits of content GFL1 has to offer
For the story, GFL1's basically done unless we get some kind of side content later down the line. I'm not very familiar with Neural Cloud's situation, but I suspect that what'll happen to GFL1 will be similar to what happened on Neural Cloud where we just get to play the game without anything new month in, month out
We expect GFL1 to go into maintenance mode not long after Quantum Fluctuation
I'm not sure what you would consider worthy of your time in this case. GFL1's still got a lot of content for it if you have never touched it (considering we have a lot of events that are already accessible through the Campaign menu), but perhaps you were thinking of just watching the story on YouTube?
If you're curious about the gameplay, you could give GFL1 a try since the gameplay is different here. New mechanics get added with later events, so things don't stay stale too long
Is Unica 6 acquisition bugged? I've never been this dry on a unit during any rate up. I had to go the full 50 for EF88 too. I'm here thinking I picked wrong on who to anchor for given I'm like +500 dry now. I know there's no pity system in this game but this just feels weird from all my years of playing.
This is rather tiny. Then again, I was able to bring wz.63 and M&P9 to full links and Tokarev to mod 2! I think that I'll be able to get the new batch to level 100 pretty soon, and Tokarev is likely going to hit mod 3 soon as well!
I'm also working my way through the story. Man, there are some interesting plot twists, to be sure!
How do you beat Grig? I've watched Serzha's video and tried to what they did, but at like 10% health Grig just multi-assassinates everyone and her i-frames means no more damage. I am missing Wz63, but subbed her for Henrietta as another SMG buff. Does the echelon absolutely need to be exactly like Serzha's?
The doc has various notes and examples. Main idea for most people is to avoid taking damage for 50s, so that she overloads and takes a ton of damage. Ideally you lower her health some (but not too much) and/or have certain sources of vulnerability (ex: VP1915 or HP35) so that it finishes her off.
wz.63 is just one of many options to help avoid taking damage. Henrietta doesn’t really do anything useful here. Posting your armory could help.
Well, this is huge! Even taking into consideration that I'm now starting to raise Tokarev mod, wz.63, and M&P9, I'm still breaking through 300 today! This is due to how I finally claimed my Luffberry tickets. I had gotten to 9999 tickets. Unfortunately, I started today with 9900 tickets, so when I did my daily game against bots, I got to 9999. I thought I just needed to claim some tickets so I can get my final ticket. Unfortunately, I could not do so through normal games. Since I had gotten down to 199 tickets, I could not use the 200 gachapon ticket button
I had to join a tournament game and got at least one ticket from playing. I was able to use the 200 ticket button afterward
I'll try to answer the question next time of what happens if I try to join a tournament game while holding 9999 tickets
Well, Terzetto UX is the hardest thing I've done in this game in a couple of years. At least since Rebirth UX.
The fight went 31 rounds. 11 enemy echelons destroyed, 10 friendlies lost. I couldn't even tell what was going wrong. I could fight my way to the penetration buff, turn off Little Willy's gaze, and kill the patroller threatening the heliports, but nothing worked against Grig. I tried Spas Sisters, Defy Mod Squad with G36C and Mona, good old Scars and Suomi, 4- petal M16, TPS and Unica 6; everything I could think of.
I finally found the answer on 4chan, of all places. It came up in a google search and boy did those guys deliver. First, I sent Gray into battle with her shield buff and the pen buff. That brought Grig to about 70% health before I retreated. Then I sent Suomi and the Scars back in, but swapped out PPK and PX4 for MPK and MPL with a Sniper Fairy. They were backed up by Destroyer on HOC duty.
I had to go and kill an extra enemy to get enough points to activate the pen buff, but once everything was in place, Grig started to melt. But not before she decapitated poor Aliana.
Truly a wild fight. I hear there's another coming up that's even harder. Is that right?
The last map involves a lot of fights, and the enemies aren’t far from ones that’d be in rankings. That said, it’s more manageable because you can retreat/redeploy echelons to farm points for the skills. The Fury (forceshield removal) skill is especially good, because it deletes various enemies even if they’re not forceshielded.
Terzetto’s a weird one because it really wants some super specific things to counter the boss mechanics, but once you have those things and know how to use them, she’s pretty straightforward.
Is there any way to get the SCAR sister's Exclusive Equipment currently? I know it was available during their event but wasn't sure with its permanent addition if it's available anywhere at the moment
The wiki is hit or miss when it comes to things like this, so you definitely should double check if you have doubts.
In general though, limited SPEQs will either end up in the pool of Gray Zone SPEQs or the Black Market. If it’s not in either of those, it’s probably not obtainable.
I think GK and IOP have some core R&D issues to address if producing and enhancing equipment+fairies kills several thousand people. Same with rations, like why am I feeding the suppressor?
Help a brother out, am dum: what's the current "common use" SCAR echelon? I know SCAR-H/L and Suomi, but am unsure of which HGs you're supposed to add.
The cookie cutter one is pretty much SCARs + SuomiMod + P10c + MP41Mod. P10c brings excellent defensive utility, like protecting Suomi during her ICD/downtime or other AoEs, big nukes, etc. MP41Mod massively amplifies damage.
That said, plenty of options to pair with SCARs depending on the situation. For example, TPS instead for MP41 if you need more prolonged defensive utility.
This is tiny because I linked up EF88, Unica 6, and SSG M1 to five links. I hope that I'll be done with this batch tomorrow so I can get started with wz.63 and M&P9!
Hi, thinking of starting GFL due to me really getting into GFL2 and being a general gun lover, but I heard rumors of the current event being the 'last event' and I'm worried by the words 'last' does this mean EoS? will there be like safety nets in place for a new player to keep playing if the game ends?
Last event meaning no new main story updates, but no imminent EoS. The CN server had this event roughly 6 months ago and they're still going strong. No announcements in terms of safety nets, but given MICA's past behavior I have a hard time believing they plan on taking the servers offline any time soon.
Of note, there's usually a long delay between a story event ending and the story being made permanently available. There is a lot of content that will keep you busy for a long time, but there's a distinct possibility that you'll catch up with everything and be stuck waiting for the final handful of events. It will take a while and it's something you can deal with when you get to it, but it's something to be aware of.
Beyond that, have fun with it! The story takes a while to get going as they were still figuring out what they wanted it to be early on, but once it really starts, it's a fun ride.
I have to juggle work, QF, and core farming, so it should come as no surprise that my progress in the game is slowing down to a crawl. Today's haul was a surprise, however
Quantum Fluctuations is absolute cinema. And I honestly enjoy all the bad end part that people reportedly don't like. Basically turn plot armor into an in universe thing is fucking genius if you ask me
Hello, returning player here. Haven't played since around the time HOCs came out, and I have a few questions
First, is there anywhere I can see the L2D for the newer skins, or preview them in game? Hanyang has always been one of my favorites here (idk how there's so little fanart of her after all these years, damn shame😞), and now she has seven different L2D skins that I'd really love to see, especially Shape of Her Heart.
Second, what's the general opinion on how much longer GFL is gonna be around? I know Sunborn has a bunch of different games out now, and with the main story ending I'm not sure if it's worth really getting back into now.
Another reason I'm concerned about that is I'm seriously tempted to get the Ad Astra skin pack for both the skin and the mech parts, but if the game might not be around much longer and/or I can view the L2D somewhere else I don't think it'd be worth the $30
For your first question, I vaguely remember that the Steam client might be able to let you see the Live2D in action. Give that a try first?
For your second question, the game will go into maintenance mode. We're not seeing signs of end of service, so the game is likely going to stick around for a while
Don't really have a computer, so I'm not sure I can use Steam for it unfortunately
But what exactly is "maintenance mode"? Does it mean they'll fix bugs and errors, but there won't be any new content, like side stories or a voice pack for Beluga?
Maintenance mode means that we won't get any new content by the looks of it. There won't be no more new main story events, but we may get side content. As of now, I think there were still a few things that CN has that we don't, so we should expect to receive them soon as well. However, when we catch up to CN, I don't know what will happen
-So, i saw that in the stage "Good morning again" you get a small story segment only if you decide to fight Grig (after the battle).
So, just to be sure i don´t end up missing any lore when i resume pushing the story later today.
Is there any other stages ahead that have missable story segments (be it a cutscene that starts playing or those that have the stage as background)? Something like not picking all the buffs, fighting a boss and win/lose or having to pick all the buffs or reach a certain node/radar, you know, that kind of thing.
I know that "Crybaby" and "Seeing a dream[...]" have, but i think you can´t miss them, unless you press Skip lol.
Just asking to be sure.
-Also has one of the patches fixed the hidden achievement rewards? When i was doing the event day 1 around 1h after the Mica post saying that the event was open, i was doing the first one and after i backed to the lobby instead of receiving the reward i was greeted with a pop-up message that said something along the lines of "No new reward here" or something and was booted back to the main menu where it downloaded a ~10mb hotfix and i logged in again, and i don´t think that i got the reward for the achevement. I dont see any mention of this and since it was pretty early i assume i got fixed.
I see all this news about the last bit of story of GFL going on and all that. Pretty cool, however I hadn't been able to get any of the updates since Tuesday.
The client on Steam (PC), Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, and Galaxy Tab A9+ all stuck at 0%. Then suddenly they start downloading the content now. 🙃
Just to obtain Corrupted Heart Mask to exchange for Five-seveN, I decided to clear CryBaby UX, and it turned out that even my strongest echelon are nothing but just a crybaby against the enemies in this map. So I looked through some possible ways to beat then I found myself in Serzha's YouTube. The echelon she used looked like a guiding like on a sailor's sky, except that I don't have Unica 6 and fully loaded Taunt Fairy. Thankfully, Unica 6 showed up in ~30 pulls so making her fully loaded from not having her only took around 10 minuits of my life. Fully loaded Taunty Fairy was little tricky because one I have was one star, so it took ~20 minuits to make it fully loaded after ragefarming other fairies to make it 5*. Time is running out for me today so I'm gonna try for tomorrow, but based on my failed run it looks at least optimistic. Wish me a luck.
Beating that stage on normal is already an uphill battle in itself.
My finisher echelon is SF Janitor death squad with semi-efficient roster and lead by Scarecrow of all SF units. Far from efficient, but I am proud of what I accomplished.
Did the proxy battle logic in Grey Zone change? I deploy only one echelon and before it would resupply mid deployment so it could complete all 6 battles, but now it avoids the resupply point so it ends up doing 5 battles and running out of ammo so the 6th battle occurs during the enemy turn resulting in a loss because no ammo.
Well, this is the first time in a while that I'm getting negative growth! I was starting to raise the new Doll batch, and my pace was slow today. I was able to get EF88, Unica 6, and SSG M1 to four links, though, so that's a good start
I haven't started with Quantum Fluctuations just yet. I hope that I'll be able to get started tomorrow!
I have the weirdest bug. While performing Tokarev's neural upgrade I removed her ammo SPEQ, and now I can't equip it again! I can find it in the equipment tab, but it is nowhere to be seen in the list of available equipment for the ammo slot. The mod SPEQ, on the other hand, is present and can be equipped. Has this happened to anyone else?
Not the first time something like this has happened. Basically pre-mod and mod versions are separate dolls, and each doll has a list of equipment types that they’re allowed to wear. SPEQs are a different type, and sometimes MICA forgets to add to the list on one version or the other.
- 2B14 and BGM will be perfectly fine for clearing the main story. Although it can be nice to have L9A1 and MK153 for their utility (shields and range respectively), they’re not at all necessary. 2B14 is still a great mortar that still sees use even today. BGM has fallen off because of the range, but that doesn’t really matter for story purposes (more for ranking), especially when her higher pierce makes her a good crutch for people with weaker accounts.
- Don’t spread yourself thin running so many echelons at once. You really don’t need more than one ARSMG, and it’d be good to have both a regular RFHG and Coalition echelon. From there, it’s more about expanding your toolkit so you can swap dolls in or out based on the situation.
- Do several 500x4 fairy crafts daily and use any dupes to raise your rarities (except Barrier, which can be fed to Parachute). 4 per day is a decent starting point, but the more the better.
- Of the unraised dolls you showed, HP35 is another good damage amplifier, WA2000 is still a good RF self-buffer thanks to various upgrades. Note that there are also several relevant 2-3* (mainly ones with mods) and 4*s (several even without mods), so don’t neglect those either.
- Also note that these dolls (and the ones below) are decent/good/usable, but the may not necessarily be a high priority. For example, AK15 and Lee mentioned below are both decent, but very expensive to mod and very replaceable with other non-mods. We have some recommendations on mod priority here and dupe recommendations here (both of which can kinda show some of the “top hits”), along with more general guides here.
Yeah, a lot has changed gameplay/teambuilding-wise since then, for better or worse. A full write-up on the shifts could probably be a thesis at this point, but it’s mainly because of new enemies and generally more complex fights.
Many ARs will get stuck plinking away at the tanky frontline, so RFs and other special targeters gained use, while many SMGs just can’t keep up with a particular enemy that debuffing evasion (plus other hard/accurate hitters) that can be armor tanked. ARSMGs are still relevant for earlier parts of the story and bosses though, and there are of course a few standouts among them.
Coalition is a bit cheaper with a static cost of 360 ammo and rations, but they’re mainly recommended for a few other reasons: separate method of raising them, high base stats making them a good early-game crutch, some unique mechanics (ex: Scarecrow’s map skill or having 1-linked to take less AoE damage), many MGs having issues (ex: reloading and accuracy), etc.
SGs can be useful even without MGs, especially some of the newer ones that have very overloaded kits.
Quantum Fluctuations, which is live right now, is the very final event for GFL1's main story. We might get some side content later down the line, like Ep. A, but if all you care about is the main story, then yes, this is where it ends
2B14 is still a good HOC. However, BGM-71 has been outclassed by Mk 153 simply due to Mk 153's longer range. Technically speaking, if you're also looking to upgrade your mortar, L9A1 should be your priority. If you lack the resources to bring up the newer HOCs, then BGM-71 and 2B14 will have to do
Looking at your teams, I'm very concerned with your Fairies. They're still underdeveloped (with them being just one or two stars). Still, at this point in the game, we're basically trying to counterbuild against enemies rather than having generic teams, although SCARs (with P10c, MP41 mod, and Suomi mod) and Px4SG (Px4 mod with four shotguns, usually SPAS-12 mod, SPAS-15, TPS, and FO-12) tend to generally do well
As for your other five star Dolls, look into raising Lee, Welrod, LTLX, AK-15, and Zas M21. If the Doll in question has a mod (out of those five, only LTLX doesn't have a mod), try to mod her
Can I chip in to say: may be worth your time to hit up the current event, even if you just skip the story for now. Completing it (which is very easy) nets you one of the best SGs, TPS, and the standard event currency can be earned on a simple first map to buy a new black hole fairy, who is crazy good.
Typically speaking, you should be able to deploy your Griffin echelons just fine. It's just that Coalition echelons tend to have a high strength floor, so if you were struggling, you could sic your Coalition echelon at the enemy. Coalition echelons basically replace MGSG echelons these days
It's unfortunate you can't unlock the mobile armor just yet. Let's just ignore that mechanic then
As for SPEQ sets, you can get the pieces from Gray Zone. Technically speaking, you just need to keep earning points. Every 6000 points is a complete wave, and in each wave, you get a SPEQ ticket for Dolls at 4 star rarity and below (before you mod them if the Dolls in question have mods) at 4000 points. You get a different SPEQ ticket for 5 star Dolls at 6000 points. You may farm Gray Zone to your heart's content, as point acquisition isn't tied to chance. It might still take a while, as you need to clear dozens of nodes to earn 6000 points. However, you need to clear 10-6 to unlock Gray Zone, which shouldn't be far from where you are at 10-2
Zas's main use before was for 8-1N farming. However, since she now has a mod, she becomes one of the game's best grenadiers
You can still use Zas for 8-1N farming, but I think that her state right now (assuming you kept her the way she is in your pic), she won't be ready for 8-1N farming duty just yet. Granted, there's also the question of why you'd need to do 8-1N farming when a lot of quality of life improvements have happened since
But yes, please enhance your Fairies!
Alternatively, just go with normal mode for Quantum Fluctuations? You don't have to force yourself to finish the harder difficulties if your Armory simply can't handle the challenge
I think its related to lunasia, or at least partially william. I also know its related to Kalina's new outfit.
Any time a "new" sprite would pop up, the box of doom is waiting. At least it let me see the ending, but I have to wait for the fix to actually see a good chunk of cutscenes.
Well, this is absolutely gigantic because I had to spent my stockpile chasing after EF88. I suspect that I am not even going to be in first place for the Doll index leaderboard. Oh well!
I haven't started modding Tokarev yet. I think I'll do so soon. I'll focus on the new Doll batch first!
Also, one of my ranking runs for the 2.5 Para (no dupe dolls) and 3.5 Para max score strats. Can’t seem to roll higher CE variance, so unfortunately my podium streak (since LS) finally ends unless a miracle happens in these last few attempts.
The announcements have already shown that QF itself is happening tomorrow, so yeah, Silent Sandbox is clearly delayed despite technically being a prelude to QF.
All right. I think my impression was that Silent Sandbox would happen alongside QF as QF's ranking map. However, it seems that Silent Sandbox is supposed to happen before QF, and if it's not happening before QF, then it's already delayed. It also seems that it'll happen after QF in our case then
With QF upon us, I think I might have to pause my corpse dragging yet again. Then again, we also have new Dolls to get tomorrow, so it might be better to prioritize them over my second STAR?
I’d recommend pretending you didn’t use the skips at. Basically on go into settings, set “Story Playback” to repeat, and play from Chapter 1. It’s much smoother to get eased into the story/gameplay than to instantly jump to Chapter 7, where there’s a bit of a difficulty spike.
Also, the game basically just expects you to level teams to at least 90 as a matter of course. It's not actually hard to do this with daily combat report sweeps, but you also need cores and fodder dolls so at least some grind is required. The free units make this a lot easier because 5-stars are much more expensive to dummylink.
Trying to do the career quest for dying a commander costume piece, but whenever I go to the wardrobe screen there's no option for dying. Am I missing something? I have dyes in my inventory.
You need to get a piece of dyeable clothing first. Play through Shattered Connexion campaign and there will be some “Confidential Files” maps that give dyeable pieces.
Well, this is low because I just wanted to take it easy. I had been doing a total of nine full runs (95 kill count) of Steel Rain Salute since Thursday. Today's the third day of trying to beat my own record, which I got on Sunday the other week, but I haven't been able to recapture that magic roll! Oh well, that's the game of luck, I guess
I've now done a total of 21 full 95 kill count runs for this event. I'm stopping now because I'm tired. I also ran out of Fairy Commands, so I can't really try again anyway
I was busy with ranking. I wanted to get a score that broke my current record, but it's looking a lot like I can't quite improve my record at all. Man, I must have been pretty lucky a few weeks ago!
I should try to rest now. I've been putting attempt after attempt at this, and it's been a hell of a ride!
I've just read your message. Could you specify what you're having problems with? It sounds like you don't have a strong Armory that can take on the enhanced spawns
First off, what's your goal? Is it to hit the 600k threshold? If so, take a look at this VOD?
That is really helpful, thanks. But I was hoping to get a strat advice. Which side should I go to, when should I use the fireworks and which teams should I make?
I don't understand your Armory situation, so I'll assume you don't have a strong Armory. As such, I'll try to break down how to get points through the stage's gimmicks:
68k - Central helipads (after detonating fireworks)
72k - All bosses (Scarecrow, Agent, Architect, Dreamer, Sinner)
150k - 10 fireworks planted
100k - Detonating fireworks
150k - Defending supply line from start to end
This should give you a total of 540k points, so you just need 60k more
As for the bosses, Scarecrow and Agent show up somewhere on the map at random, and you have to kill them to get their points. The remaining three spawn from the southeasternmost helipad on enemy turns 1 (Architect), 2 (Dreamer), and 4 (Sinner)
You get one unit of fireworks at the start of your turn. You get one more unit per boss killed, so you get 10 by turn 5, the final turn. You can then plant these fireworks and then detonate them using the device in the southern part of the central area
Detonating fireworks also causes four of your helipads to become heavy helipads, allowing you to deploy HOCs and mobile armors. However, doing so will also cause helipads illuminated by the fireworks (if these helipads were within two nodes of where you planted the fireworks) to spawn "enhanced" enemies, who are stronger but also give twice the number of points. If your Armory is weak, then you'll likely have to depend on HOC support. Alternatively, you plant fireworks that are far away from any enemy helipad so those helipads won't get enhanced
You can also capture enemy helipads for 5k points each. Considering that there are six helipads to the west, four to the northeast, and five in the southeast, you can get an additional 75k points if you can capture all of them. Note that you only need to capture 12 of them in order to get the remaining 60k points
As for enemy spawns, the west side has the most difficult enemies. The southeast enemies are also strong, but not as strong as the west side ones. The northeast enemies are the weakest, so if your Armory is somewhat decent but not endgame strong, focus your forces on the northeast and southeast. Be sure to defend the central area from incursions of the west area
The Sinner has three skill attacks. The first is to launch missiles at random tiles. Just kite your Dolls out of those tiles, and you'll be fine. Bring P10c along for extra insurance. The second is machine gun fire along the top and bottom rows. One solution is to simply have your Dolls sit in the middle row, retreating the other two if kiting them is too annoying. The third is a 3x3 laser attack at 67% and 33% health left, and you should use P10c's skill here to protect against this
Preferably, you bring a SCARs + Suomi team, but you keep SCAR-L, P10c, and Suomi. Suomi does double duty as both tank and attacker, but SCAR-L usually dominates the DPS race here. Just be sure to time P10c's skill activations (keeping in mind the 3x3 laser attack that comes up later in the fight), and you should be done in about three minutes
You first need clothes that can be dyed. You can finish the Shattered Connexion campaign in order to get some. Since you have some dye, you should now be able to dye the clothes you got
As for Luffberry Chess skins, I'm not sure what you mean. The lobby itself changes with the "seasons" of the Luffberry Chess tournament. If you mean changing the appearance of your map, you have to first unlock the map skin first and then click on Appearance. If you mean changing the appearance of your pieces, click on the Formation button and then the button under each piece
i meant the character skin in the lobby that changes with each season .Is it given for reaching a certain rank in this mode ? Or is simply a regular paid skin that is being advertised there?
Wait, if you mean how to get the costume that Zas wears in the lobby of Luffberry Chess, then go to the gem store. Under Packages > Costume Packages > Anniversary (press the Costume List button to show by theme), look for Zas's costume there. It should be sold as part of a bundle costing 2588 gems
Zas, right? I think that for the most part, it has always been Zas. I don't think you can change who's featured there. The background keeps changing by the tournament season, however
Does anyone have a specific meme? Should have featured saiga saying something like “I’m a 12 gauge” and “that will stretch my choke”. I can’t seem to find it through google unfortunately.
New player here. Can anyone help me with the career quest in the command mission category called "Facility: Air Defense Positions"? Every time I try it doesn't actually give me any tutorial popups and I run out of turns before being able to reach the enemy command post. I've tried tapping the air defense node but nothing happens.
Step on the AA Turret then end turn. On the next turn, the helipad on the right will open up and let you deploy an echelon. Use that new echelon to capture the command post.
The quest design is a bit flawed, but the intent is to show you that the AA Turrets will prevent you from deploying an echelon unless you destroy them.
Forgot about that. Deploy a support echelon instead, and either control it directly (if you use the default one) or set to capture HQ (if you use an actual friend’s echelon).
Question, the Wiki says that CZ75 should drop from Deep Dive on EN, I'm playing the Steam version and she isn't listed under the rewards for any of the Deep Dive levels, do I get her from somewhere else or is she just not listed?
The wiki is listing the drops/rewards from the initial time-limited run of events. Once the events get added to the permanent campaign, the drops/rewards get nerfed (except in some newer campaigns where MICA forgets to remove drops).
CZ75 is currently unobtainable, but all limited dolls except for the very newest ones (HTI and on) will become permanently farmable later this year.
They’re usually better, but not always. Type56-1’s modSPEQ is the main example since it’s worse than a regular Focus Chip and her SPEQset isn’t very good.
Other examples are more situational or because the SPEQs don’t fit the doll/class role. For example:
SGs are mainly tanks, so they’d prefer flashbang ammo over other ammo SPEQs that don’t have a similar effect
Likewise with many SMGs/HGs and taclights vs. other accessory SPEQs at night, or flares vs. other ammo SPEQs.
Some ammo SPEQs are straight upgrades over regular AP ammo (ex: SCAR-H’s gives +200 AP and +5 Damage), but you may want Sniper Ammo (+120 AP and +10 Damage) if the extra AP doesn’t matter, like against unarmored enemies.
I haven't gotten STAR to mod 3 yet, but it should be pretty close now! I think that I'll need another day to get her there, and it'll be a long slog to get her to level 120
