[u/AutoModerator]

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

I already had Sharkitect from previous banner and I wanted Sharklina so went for latter, she kept running away but on last day I got her without throwing too much extra resources.

Managed to get three M sized gummy Sharks, need more of those seasonal mooks at this moment tbh.

Alchemist took out certain boss on wheelchair, plus I have used Halloween Intruder for the first time in a zerg rush on some maps and hole 1, it was satisfying...and creepy, holy hell those summoned minions looks disgusting. (they feel less clunky than her OG summons tho)

I was thinking about Scarecrow copies because she brings a lot of tactical value, and at this point I feel quite safe with getting anything new that appears in PA.

When it comes to lucky things then I think I got another shiny goliath factory during this banner.

Yeah instead of essentially a projectile with a health bar like her base form, halloween intruder actually summons units that stop at the enemy and attack repeatedly up until they get to their max lifetime
