Have no fear, scam gacha is here.

Uh, i wanted to say Scam gacha, but i read Star legend and ended with that title.

Anyway (here's Wanderwall) the usual scam gacha, you pay 3000 mobacoins, you have a 10 rolls draw with an assured SSR. Remember, you can get summon SSRs or a SSR you actually have, in that case you get a gold moon.

The banner shows Xmas units, so probably is a xmas focused gacha EDIT: Mixed the fraw rates of the banner with the Star Legend Gacha promotion, its not Xmas focused units. Sorry for the mistake guys U_U

Good luck!

It isn't X-mas focused.

I ended up rolling Gawain. That base ascension art, holy wet noodles...

HissionOP•

You are totally right, i mixed the draw rates of the banner with the star legend, edited. Sorry for the mistake.

Also, congratulations on your Gawain, he is a hell of a unit.

I think it's oddly fitting that possible synonyms for these two words are "liquor beast"

You are a hero to me right now.

Thank you

I'd love to get a gold moon from wet Yuel...it would mean I have her in the first place :(

FYI, the guaranteed SSR is not affected by the rate up for Xmas characters. They're in there, but they're the same rate as everyone else.

The other 9 rolls are still affected by the rate up.

If you were guaranteed to get a Christmas SSR I'd be tempted, but this feels manipulative and shady to show them on the Star draw banner but not even give them a rate up. These scam gachas are definitely the aspect of Granblue that I like the least because they are by far the most exploitative thing it does, and Granblue is usually much better than all those other scummy F2P games that pull his crap.

Yeah i get that they need to get some year end sale target met, but throwing scam gacha during roulette / prior to leg/flash period seems kinda scummy imo.

If you have to make scam gacha, at least separate it into Summon/Characters + raise the rate for X-mas unit on the guaranteed SSR

I GOT SSR VAMPY AND I CAN USE HER SR SKIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME

kscw•

Turned out to be worth waiting for the banner to switch before using today's rolls.
Not that my rolls ended up yielding anything, though.

Rate-ups/sparkables:
SSR Xmas Metera, Mary, Arulu, Clarisse, Rosetta
SR Xmas Yaia, Feena, Sen, Ladiva, Rackam
R Xmas Walder

I had a gachapin trigger this morning so I waited for a potential part 2 x-mas banner.

30 rolls in I get Veight.

KawaiiMajinken•

80 rolls in I get TWIN ELEMENTS :(

I need a hug.

☺ here's one hug for you

Thanks ~

This is quite sad...

I got 150 rolls from gatchapin and got Garula summon

KawaiiMajinken•

Come'ere.

kscw•

Ouch. Was he at least a new character for you?

1
puzzle_quest•

Na a gold moon, but I am building up for a choco bar so it helps.

2
Sighto•

Grats on getting the 100 rolls, or you have crazy luck!

1
kscw•

Hmm, maybe there's a misunderstanding going on here.
I only had 20 rolls to use (I didn't specify the amount anywhere, it wasn't an important snippet of info).

I was mainly pointing out the better rate up/spark list for the current banner, compared to the previous one.
Specifically, the previous banner only had Arulu/Clarisse/Sen/Ladiva on rate up/spark list. The current one at least puts Metera back on rate up, and Mary is pretty good too.

In my case, the saved rolls didn't net me any SSRs (edit: though you can't really expect even one SSR with 20 rolls at 3% rates), but it was worth waiting for the banner switch from a pure odds standpoint (with the goal of getting Xmas Metera).

1
Sighto•

Ah, got it. I had read it as you nabbed all the listed characters but were downplaying it because you didn't consider them noteworthy.

1
kscw•

If I believe hard enough in your version of events, will it come true? Because I like your version better, lol.

Lilzealck•

Is this the first time a banner ends before 12 midnight jst?

1
TheGlassesGuy•

banners don't usually end at midnight jst

4
AHyaenidae•

It's because it'll be a Flash Fest on the 25th.

-3
crimsonpheonix•

It's just so the Christmas characters leave at midnight on Christmas, fests sometimes start at noon but not midnight outside new year's. There will almost certainly be a 3~ day banner like fan favorites before another granffest.

4
WanderEir•

this is the usual standard, yeah.

1
kamanitachi•

Not confirmed.

4
Riveraldiaz•

If you mean Premium Gala, then yes. Flash Gala only happens mid-month, afaik.

-9
TheGlassesGuy•

It's very likely that we have another Flash Gala before the end of the year. Shiva isn't out yet and we haven't had a Fallen Sword FLB banner.

3
SomberXIII•

Afaik they said Shiva will be coming this year right? I didn't remember about Fallen Sword FLB date though.

karillith•

Wow I somehow managed to avoid every holiday character with 3 ten draws X), That's granblue rate up for you.

edit : not complaining though, I got Dark Angel Olivia summon (bleh), SSR Grea and Nemone

edit 2 : uh sorry what did I say to earn that much downvotes? I mean I don't care about karma but I don't think I was particularly rude or off thread or anything?

-3†
Etheon_Aiacos•

Why the wow"? The "rates up" are almost non-existent in this game, and barely noticeable for SRs if you go deep (aka spark). You got three SSR in 30 rolls, that´s huge! I got just five SRs and 3 bronze moons in 30 rolls x_x

7
karillith•

Well, because I'm not that over heels about holiday characters so I was pretty convinced I would get at least one. Again I'm not complaining in the slightest, just a "sasuga Granblue" comment.

6
Kentiah•

You did just 30 rolls and complained about not getting something, while actually having like a 10% SSR rate, most likely why.

1
karillith•

I said literally the opposite, dude... I can't do anything if people can't read properly.

Verzweif•

Tfw a normal draw has more chance to get metera than the scam gacha

-12
RamenOnARamp•

Except it doesn't? 0.660% chance with scam gacha, 0.140% chance with regular draw.

6
Verzweif•

0.660% out of 100%, all weapons have 0.660% and summons 0.416%.

Ok the scam gacha is a garanted SSR draw but if you get a SSR draw on the regular draw the chances you can end with Metera are bigger.
0.140% chance with regular gacha, but other weapons have 0.014% and summons 0.012%

0.140% out of 3% is still bigger than 0.660% out of 100% (if you can get a SSR)

-19
Kregbi•

Thats not what the % mean, its literally 0.14% chance per draw to get Metera and 0.66% from scam gacha.

There are around 150+ characters and summons in the pool right now, if you divide 100(%) by 150, its roughly 0.66(%) (although summons actually have a reduced rate).

In the regular gacha, if you add up all the horrible 0.014% rates and the boosted 0.14% rates you will find that it comes to 3% and not 100%.

5
Verzweif•

Yeah, I know it. I was talking for something more like frenzy, for example. If you get a garanted SSR on the normal gacha the chance you get a ssr with 0.140% is bigger than if you tried to get it using the scam gacha. A 0.140% is still a 0.140% for each roll, but on the ssr poll the chance to get it would be 1 out ~21.
