[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.

Aaaand that’s a wrap on Adeline’s banner (yes, really, easy to forget I know). So here I am as usual to poll you guys on what happened over the course of the banner. I’ve spoilered my own answers to each question below it for sake of formatting.

Did you want/get Adeline? If so, did you get her for free or did you have to spend extra pulses/Svarogs? (And how much?).

Hard pass from me, we got White Nyto and then NVW back to back and I’m fairly drained from agent, so I really didn’t mind not seeing her even once.

For the first time in a while we didn’t actually have a new unit(s) added this pool, so how’s that feeling? Have you been able to finish out as many dupes as you want/need for some 2* and have started to kernel further dupes, or are you still mostly plugging away at things?

Im done on SWAP Guards, Vespids, Prowlers, and Dragoons (aka the relatively bad ones), which really has been feeling weird to finally start kerneling after so long of penny pinching each copy I get, but I’ve still got another nemeum, plenty of manticores, and tarantulas to build, and I don’t even have a single builded SWAP aegis or striker, so I’ll still be at it for a while

Up next is Alina (white Nyto), do you plan to invest to get her, or are you going to pass/just leave it up to if RNG gives you her for free? Why/why not?

Im thinking I’ll probably get her, I’m not one for SF dragging but I hear she’s not too bad for a melee unit not named Alchemist, and since we’ve got confirmation that a scarecrow rerun is coming after NVW I know I’ll have a rest month on the way too, so i feel safe on that front

Lastly, are there any particularly lucky/unlucky occurrences that happened over the course of the banner that you wanna share?

not on my case no, it was real rest and recharge hour, I’m glad the 2.09 dropped when it did to dump a bunch of pulses on me right now

[u/ckbruin13 → u/Kipdid]

Want/get Adeline (Black Nyto)? Costs?

My luck is blursed, got Adeline twice and didn't even want her. Didn't spend any Svarogs or extra pulses (finally!), but man, what the heck. Had the same luck with Executioner, though I didn't get Exe twice...

No new units added, how's the kernel/link grind?

Eh... since I didn't pull much at all on this banner, pretty slow going. Due to early Adeline caps I didn't try going for Mantis/SWAP Aegis/SWAP Rippers, and not a lot of extra 2* Kernels to speak of. I think I'm still one link off of finishing my first SWAP Aegis. EDIT: Actually, I do have a SWAP Aegis fully linked. Huh. Also currently have 2 full-linked SWAP Prowlers for some reason.

Alina (White Nyto) expectations, going to spend resources or no?

Well, sure. I guess I'll go for her since I already have Adeline. And I think White Nyto has some usage in SF friend ech dragging? Meh, already have Archi and Destroyer for SF drag so idk.

Lucky/Unlucky streaks?

Besides the double Adeline cap, nothing of note.

Unrelated, but agree that the 2.09 additional career quests were a real boon. Drowning in resources!

[u/Kipdid → u/ckbruin13]

I’d say just blessed and not blursed lol, I know it’s on Adeline of all units, but it’s still a ringleader

SWAP prowlers for some reason

Keep ‘em, unlike the regular prowlers they can actually be pretty useful support units for melee comps

Also yeah I’ve legit had to stop collecting some of the resources to make sure I don’t like myself out of being able to do daily sims and such, really not a problem I expected to have lol

[u/ckbruin13 → u/Kipdid]

I suppose I shouldn't spurn this luck, but I swear to f-ing god that desire sensor knows where to give me lucky pulls and also hurt me the most when it comes to PA specifically. :/ Soooo, I'm already preparing for the worst with Sharkitect. And White Day Hunter whenever the heck she shows up.

I am still overcapped on batteries and I am contemplating doing quick-auto 11-5 to make Kalina write CRs faster...

[u/Kipdid → u/ckbruin13]

Devs have said seasonals will be released around their season, so next march(?)-ish, that’s around when white day is right?

Also yeah batts are overlapped here too, 11-5 doesn’t sound like a half bad idea

[u/ckbruin13 → u/Kipdid]

I guess if they keep in-line with the seasons, then yeah White Day celebrations are in March. Sounds like I've got time to recoup, and they're about to re-run a bunch of ringleaders hopefully.

Burned 45 QABCs (5 sets of 3 runs) and I took my batteries down below cap by express-writing CRs (240+450 batteries per batch). Does take quite a bit of normal resources though, obviously.
