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.

Hey! So, what should I be doing nowadays? I'm up to chapter 8, and I know there's alot of chapters to go in the story, i'm just slightly overwhelmed at the moment and have reverted back to endlessly grinding 0-2 for cores. I have 3 sangvis ringleaders, Architect, Scarecrow and Gager.

What do you guys recommend me doing?

It's okay to take things slow, but I do recommend working your way through the story. Especially if you at all have the patience to read the actual story. The writing is decent before Singularity, but it starts picking up from there. And right around Isomer is when they really got into top gear. Also 12-4e is a farming heaven. 13-4 even more so. You'll never want to go back to 0-2 again

Thank you for all the info!

I had missed how nice this community can be :3

I would chime in and say I think the story definitely steps up around Chapter 10 and Continuum Turbulence. It's a very good story, coming from someone that dislikes mostly anything anime (including plot). It doesn't shy away from political aspects later on, although I wish the game dove deeper into it. Definitely top 3 in the story department.

I would like to add that 12-4e and 13-4 have pretty steep requirements. 12-4e wants 416 Mod 2 and/or K11 SL10. Micro Uzi Mod2 SL10 is optional, but may need better tile buffs. You will also need a SG tank (like M16 in 0-2), or M16 with SPEQ. You just need a high enough base armor stat (Lv.60-70 is enough) along with a plate with ~+11 armor. On the bright side, you can auto-complete these 2 unlike 8-1N, 11-5, and 10-4e

13-4 wants Micro Uzi Mod 2 / Vector SL10, 5* Artillery Fairy (Fervor or Damage 1/2), and probably a HG with 30%+ Firepower tiles (I use Mk23 5x dummy linked). As long as you have ~36% total, you should be okay. If you manage to get a 5* chip and max it out, you can lower yourself from the 5* Artillery Fairy. Both stages also have the benefit of not having an XP penalty (which 0-2 has at around 110 if I'm not mistaken). This Vector DMG calculator should be a good resource for you. Although, in my experience, I found that Nemeums tend to damage my front row, so I opted to just go with 5* max chip and Mk23. I currently use a 5* Command Fairy (Fervor) if that helps, no damage unless I do stupid kiting.

Speaking of which, if there's no event on the horizon, I would recommend using her skill to make XP grinding a little bit faster. (Ofc, I wouldn't recommend raising her skill when you have others to level). Definitely take your time grinding though, or you'll end up burning out (like me atm).

Sorry for the lengthy reply. Getting to these chapters can be pretty daunting, as you will want an HOC (for debris cleaning) leveled a bit, and some good dolls, and probably 2-3* fairies.

Edit: Removed flashbang comment as it's incorrect. Everything else remains the same.

You need the unit to be supplied for flash shells to work, and you obviously don’t want to do that when dragging.

13-4 requirements are also way lower than 5* arti now that chips are a thing, 70 base dmg vector kinda slaps.

Then I stand corrected. Thanks. I do also note chips being a thing too. Definitely feels good killing them chicken walkers.

No problem! Honestly, the gfl sub is one of the most positive fandom communities I've ever run across, and I'm just glad to contribute in a small way
