Stove "What is the point of getting a dupe?"
Ohnononono Stove what are you doing.

Read that too, it says as you progress in story, new side stories unlock. No where does it state that you need the hero
12
I think they were refering to this section that was in red under that section: For those who already cleared Episodes 2,3, and 4, you can select and play through a Side Story of your choice, but you cannot select Side Stories of Heroes that have not yet been unlocked.

It’s a bit hard to follow but you don’t need the unit to do side story and pull for them. They should’ve reposted the Merurin Episode 9 to explain it again. They talked about the scenario of “what if I don’t have the unit for the story” and explained it there

I'll file that under poor phrasing then. The guy is still rediculous for scoffing at the idea of free dupes. lol

me struggling getting imprint for Zahhak

Rip those sweet mono catalyst stages
54
exactly the first thing i thought of…. Fingers crossed they let us pick the catalysts or something per stage?

This is a lot of rewards they are throwing at us. And basically they are giving a free imprint for every character that is going to have a side story.
I like this update, because this month I was only going to farm fire expo and adventure (got backlog of 6* to make), and this will make the adventure part of that more fun and rewarding.

One for every 4 side stories, it seems.

Hmm would a list to assume by be of hero stories in the story journal?
2
That's what I'm using. So we should expect 5 imprints in the near term.

Nice, they fixed that weird achievement about collecting Guardians. Lowered AP cost and mission difficulty too, though I already bought or done most of them.
Though the new Side Story system is still a bit confusing to me. We'll be able to do a special summoning of the heroes in the story once we're done, right? The switching cost looks a bit costly time-wise to refill though

[Epic Seven] Merurin's Express Mail Ep.9 - Episode & Side Story Revamp https://youtu.be/gogbhb016pw
XD I waited for this!
24
Are the cracks in the world still there?
12
im confused on whether we’re
A. essentially getting a free dupe
B. unlocking the banner to which we then need to summon normally with bookmarks
10
Excuse me, will we get dupes for Mercedes? The ML one takes forever to upgrade

Kinda hyped. While Unrecprded History was okay, nice to see it be trimmed
4
Is the lead hero summon free?
1
Quick question. As someone who hasn't finished unrecorded history yet what's more worth rushing it to get all the skystones or waiting until this new update drops and finishing it that way 🤔 ?

As it is written in the patch notes:
"- You can receive the adjusted Region Rewards even if you have already received Region Rewards for Unrecorded History before.
※ You can no longer enter nor receive any Region Rewards for the current version of Unrecorded History after the update on 1/19 (Thu). For those who have not received the Region Rewards for Unrecorded History, please receive all the Region Rewards before the update."
So, if you want to maximize the rewards, finish it before this patch goes live.
14
Definitely finish it ahead of time

What happens to all my saved up AP?
1
Since it will all be Ritania World instread of separate regions that give Ritania World AP, I think saved up AP will remain untouched

Gotta love how the first comment immediately complained about a free imprint lol
Stove's Glory
May i know how the 'free imprint' works.If we done the side story then we get the lead hero for free?
Not completely sure about the mechanics as a whole, but it seems that they're adding a feature where you can replay hero side stories based on your progress in the main story (since they can be prologues or sequels or just in the middle of the main story chapters lol).
After clearing one, you'll get the featured hero for free. To unlock the side story itself you will need the featured hero though, hence, an imprint lol
For example: you pulled Vildred from the gacha, now you can unlock his hero side story and after clearing the whole thing you can pull another Vildred for free.
It’s a bit confusing. The express mail video seems to say you’re simply able to trigger a week long drop rate up for the hero in question, in which case they would have to be summoned. But I’m sure they’ll give us more details down the road.
I don't think they're all free. They stated that the story banners "have the same mechanism as other Drop Rate Up banners" which means that it's still a gacha at the end of the day. There'd be no point in adding extra currency and new kind of banner if we were going to get the hero for free after completing their side story.
Depending on how much of the story collection currency that we get per side story, I expect that we should at least be able to pity a few dupes. We'll have to wait for the details obviously.
