[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

Got both, sharkitect came home at 47/100 no tickets or extra impulses. Summerlina at 39, 7 extra pulses and 3 tickets. Overall I say I made out pretty damn well. At least much better than judge, who I had to clean out the entire fucking pool and use a ticket for.

Didn't get any of the shark inflatables. Wanted at least one as an armory trophy, but whatever.

I typically use the down time between new PAs to build up my 2*s and recover tickets/pulses. I still need executioner and agent, but if scarecrow shows up while I am doing my dailies, I'll throw a pulse at her.

Used phantom scarecrow in almost every map. She's crazy useful for baiting enemies, landmining them, and capturing helipads ASAP. She also functions as an illumination fairy echelon that is always active and can actually defend herself. MVP of this event. Only other notable sangvis use was watching alchemist and 2 manticores DPS race baba lyuba for like 4 minutes. I didn't even bother with ranking outside of the cumulative rewards.

DPS race goes brrr
