It shouldn't matter how long it takes to do the level, I just leave it running in a different room while I don't need my phone (stuff like having a shower, cooking etc)

It is not confirmed yet, but supposedly limited banners should have a "spark" system aka after a set number of rolls, you'll be able to just buy a specific unit in the limited banner. In arknights, this was first implemented in the W/Weedy banner. Each roll gives 1 currency. 300 rolls give 300 and it costs exactly that to buy a rate up unit from the banner. Supposedly this will be retroactive so Nian/Aak banner should get this too.

Oh hey, Arknights!
Currently playing this as a side gacha to Granblue Fantasy, liking it so far.

Well, anni 3 gives higher rewards so its also more time efficient assuming you can safely auto it. Just don't overflow and exit for the final run since you don't get saninty back even if you only get rewards for 100 kills.

300 rolls give 300 and it costs exactly that to buy a rate up unit from the banner. Supposedly this will be retroactive so Nian/Aak banner should get this too.

300 rolls is such an insane number lol
I do hope this gets implemented so I can start saving early.

I'm so far from 300 or even 50 rolls lol. Only have 20 so far, including originium conversion. I don't need Broca or Reed, but eh, tempted to just use my rolls on the guaranteed 5* within 10 rolls. But I guess there'll be more rate-ups for 6* so should save for those. Even if I likely won't get Nian.

Well at least the pity currency carries over. I know only too many games where analogous systems are limited to individual banners...

Thanks!

I just finished 4-9 and I'm just working on grinding my guys so they're roughly around the same levels.

Only have 2 6 stars so far, Hoshiguma and Silver Ash. Not E2 yet.

While you are mostly correct, the pity counter does not carry over to limited banners like Nian and W. They have their own pity counters separate from the other banners.

Hence why I was talking about the new currency. The already extant counter is a different thing entirely and honestly something that can simply be ignored in practice - RNGesus giveth what He feels like whenever He feels like, anyway.

We can make it! Bless our rolls! Pray to Sandy Kroos for good rolls!

Ah you were referring to the spark system. I know it as such from GBF. Should have noticed you said "currency". I do appreciate the pity counter. Triggering it is how I got Blaze.

Another thing about Arknights' spark system is that after the limited banner, any surplus currency can be traded for mats. I appreciate any help in the grind.

PV for Ancient Forge. Confirmed we'll get a 10 roll ticket and 10 single roll tickets from daily login.

Yay free rolls are always fun

Oh damn, she looks badass in the PV. Nevermind the meta or that the chances of me getting her are almost non-existent, if her event story shows she's an interesting character I might roll anyway.

We are also getting that amazing Ch'en skin btw. Not free.
I forgot to buy skins last event, lol quick taps on shop to save seconds makes me skip the ad. I guess it means I have more rolls if necessary.

I got my ninth E2 unit, the game really does get a lot easier when you have multiple E2 units.

I have: Hellagur, Blaze, Silverash, Schwarz, Ifrit, Lappland, GreyThroat, Cuora and Myrtle (I also almost have Siege and Breeze, I just need a few more items and a ton of LMD)

Just made an account to post here but I'm really looking forward to the Ancient Forge event cause I really want to know why Nian and Lava are shipped. I saw this animation and it's been bugging me about what their deal is since: Nian VS Lava.

P.S. My tag is Juno#15473 if you want to add me. I only have one slot open right now unfortunately. I have Saria S2M3, Ch'en S2M3, and Lappland S2M3 up on my support list right now, but I have a lot of six star E2s I can change to if anyone needs them instead.

Other operators I can switch to (all are at E2 40): Silverash S3M3, Exusiai S3M3, Schwarz S3M1, Hoshiguma, Nightingale S2M1, Eyjafjalla S2M1, Ifrit S2M1, Siege S2M1, Specter, Ptilopsis, Texas S2M1, Myrtle S1M3 + S2M3.

Edited cause I forgot to add my tag...

Wow that's an awesome animation. I've seen some very minor speculation, but if anything will say it'll probably have to be the event or Nian's voice lines.

Oh wow, that animation is great. More fuel for the Nian x Lava ship.

Nian x Lava is not a ship I was expecting. Now I feel even more compelled to get Nian. I'll even level Lava.

Based on Lava and Nian's tokens, there's definitely something going on with them. Also keep in mind that Nian is a blacksmith.

Lava's: A specially processed sheath. It is covered in deliberately mysterious patterns.
Nian's (through Google translate): A dagger with a simple design. It is said that as long as it is used for murder and other business, the blade of the dagger will disappear.

Oh I just accepted someone else. I'll send a fr if another person becomes inactive for a while.

I'm FINALLY done with rock farming for a while. I just need a few oriron and I'm done. Also, finally ran out of grindstones...I should've farmed harder on Grani event...
