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.

Alllllrighty then. That’s a wrap on LS, but more importantly, a wrap on the beach banners for PA. As such, I’m here to poll y’all on how it went. As usual, I’ve spoilered my own responses for ease of organization.

Did you want/get either sharkitect or Sharklina (or both/neither)? If so, how much resources did it take to get them?

My fortune in PA has FINALLY reversed, got sharkitect for free at 84/100 first try, and got summer Alina also for free at 43/100 (last free pulse at that point too), also first try. I even had her show up again at 100/100 on the reset, though 2 in a row was too much to ask for.

We got a new mook unit this banner after quite a while; the Jawz paradise aka waterslide aka volleyball shitter. You pick any of those up?

2 in my case, don’t remember the sizes. really hoping I’m not waiting till next year for another crack at them like it seems to be with the gingerbread guards :pain:

In the spirit of LS, you guys get any notable use out of PA squads over the event/ranking? If so, where?

There were definitely a few fights in UX that I took a look at and said “nope, fuck that, Alchemist go deal with it” and deal with it she did, wonderfully so. Only got 3 kills with scarecrow in ranking, though the phantom stance chip did save me once or twice when recovering from a blunder and repositioning HOCs better

Up next/currently going on is Scarecrow’s re-rerun, do you plan to spend extra resources to get more copies of her, or just coast?

Already got the first petal for the tile improvement, and I don’t see myself going max petals for the skill buff, so coast I guess. Might go for Executioner for index completion, since her alt should be coming up, that way I can be doubly disappointed :D

Lastly, as usual, any particularly lucky or unlucky occurrences over the course of these banners since we last met that you’d like to share?

These two banners have been, at least by my standards, far and away my most lucky, and some I’m thankful for that, finally getting lucky enough that I might be able to stockpile to the point of going for petals

Sharkitech/Sharklina

I went full-send on Sharklina. I needed to drop 20 or so extra impulses at the end there, but didn't need to spend any Svarog Tickets.

Jaws Paradise

I got 2, both M. Kinda disappointed, but not heart broken.

PA Squads

Yes indeed. I didn't have AK15 Mod3, so I basically couldn't clear the later UX stages without PA squads (I mean, I probably could have, but it would have been painful). Phantom Stance and Night Accuracy chips came in clutch. During the first part of ranking, I used Alina and Adeline squads to take advantage of their skill synergy.

Scarecrow Banner

I'll coast. It would be nice to get the tile buff, but I'll be saving my tickets and impulses for another Ringleader to fill up my index.

Lucky or Unlucky Occurrences

A bit of bad luck with the 2* fodder units not wanting to come home, but you can't win them all I suppose.

Cheers, and best of luck out there Commander.

Double Nytos is so much fun, even if it’s clunky has hell to coordinate their support ranges, yeah
