Hi. In the middle of Frost EH, waiting for BP to recharge, (there's no Chance Time currently active). It often seems that better Overkill in EH, produces better results from the Panels, though I'm not quite certain. Could you confirm or deny, based on your impression? Ty. (Mainly, I seemed to have better luck reaching Chance Time and/or Houris or better, with teams led by Lu Bu's on a Fire day, than with similar teams, (led by the same), on Frost).

Oh, I saved the single 5th UR Lu Bu from rewards last event, and it so happens that she is quite useful, (albeit slightly less than ideal, as fragile), as a third lead, for EH fire days .. Had I obtained about 600 more Tokens of Trust last event, I could have created 3 GUR Lu Bu's in time, one to lead each team in EH. I probably wasn't thinking quite rationally at that point: I wanted to create a 6, 7, or better-card Evo, probably merely because that seemed to be 'popular' at that time -- where 3 full GUR Lu's would likely have helped more in the long run. But possibly it's easy to be critical of oneself, with the benefit of hindsight.

re: 'Although if an AOE does proc early on and goes through, it would help cut down time to kill the servants' => The servants could be useful, in that if one attacks them first with the Snowballer, (to raise her to her max damage), this could imply that one avoids aggroing the LAW in the process, (provided, of course, that there is such a thing as 'aggro' in this game, and that ). So I'm not certain AOE is necessarily best in this instance.

re: 'And yes, Drum Major would have been more effective in this situation since she has turnskip as UR/HUR or combination attack/turnskip if awakened' => Which is better: Drum Major or Jubilee Hostess? Since the latter is part of the amalgam for the former? If I have a choice, which should I keep? (assuming I even find a second Jubilee Hostess; currently unlikely).

re: 'SRs that I already have HSR of usually get taken out quickly and medaled' => What about SRs for which multiple HSR copies could prove useful? (Sorry to nitpick inadvertently; the thought just occurred to me).

re: 'I’d say medal the extra Dragon Princesses and Cyborgs to make space since they’re not very useful in the long run' => Some say Cyborg is useful, (according to her page), since she is (+ATK Self 300 30), when maxed .. Idk exactly .. my currently Frost Self-Buffer analogue is HSR Gungnir (+ATK Self 300 10 1) (15 at max), or SR Umbrella Phantom, (identical skill; Awakenable, at least). .. Though tbh, even HSRs, (and even single URs), seem a tad weak in Intermediate EH. .. I medalled all Dragon Pr's, save my first HSR. Cyborgs I'm still a tad unclear on. The point of Dragon Pr's must be as filler for EH, I'd assume, for those who lack better HSR Frost cards, (granted, they might only be useful for Easy). I'm not certain I possess better HSR Frost cards, but regardless.. :)

re: 'They would be more useful as medals to help you finish maxing Lu Bu or to upgrade skills' => I maxed Lu Bu's ATK .. she needs another 6500-odd for DEF .. and then +5% Skill .. possibly I should max her Skill first, to maximise her damage.

re: 'if you get the free jewels offers in your game (I have them on my secondary account on Bluestacks but not the main one on my phone)' => What are the jewel offers? I haven't discovered these yet. But ty for the information.

re: 'It’d probably only be half that if I didn’t get tempted by artwork in the summons at times since those never really pan out for me with jewels and I start to balk at the cost after a while' => I began to balk fairly early on .. namely, I have _Never_ summoned a UR, so the Summons have always seemed almost completely useless to me. And I've seen videos where players spend 5000 Jewels, (50 US currency), just to summon a single UR .. so it appears completely useless. I suppose I'd agree with you. .. Though yes, the artwork of some cards is interesting. I'm sad that I hadn't yet signed up when Snow White was released, mainly for her ability, I suppose .. though really, Crit is (inversely) equivalent (via Balance on the Damage / Range Scale) to AOE. And of course, 'Infinite Proc' abilities, assume one's team lives long enough to make use of said activations -- and even with a fairly high chance of activation, it can often take many rounds, depending on RNG, for AOE. .. I think I will wait until I can find extra Ultimate, Premium, or similar summons, from drops, then try my luck for interesting artwork that way, I suppose .. though I agree, some cards seem interesting, (conversely, the most recent (for the summon just before the current) seem a tad odd: the mercenary, and ~Chernobog).

re: 'Fourth event, finally could do a couple of million damage to FAW and got two HUR Summer Oracle plus two more HSR turnskippers and a random SR drop of another team buffer' => So via Awakened Burst, it's possible to deal > 999k .. even to FAWs? I couldn't recall if that was solely for LAWs or not .. interesting. I should be able to gain more Overkill from FAWs now, in that case.

re: 'So, then I had my Speedster, 2 turnskipper, 2 team buffer team which could do good damage but wasn’t guaranteed to 1bp FAW yet. (I tried Summer Oracle for a while but sometimes FAW would just spam skills so turnskips seemed more effective.)' => Yes, the notorious FAW/LAW-Spells .. I typically just send 'troublesome' FAWs .. or else sub in a second (lesser, levelling) team, for massive EXP gains, if I run into these .. though true, Time Stop / Turn Skip is probably more ideal. Anyway, with a single Unleasher, I can typically Buff and deal damage quickly enough to preclude such difficulties.

re: 'Then, it took 2 more events after that until I farmed 4 Elemental Queens, which finally let me consistenly 1bp FAW and move up to intermediate EH' => Idk, it has been probably 5 events since I started on January 14 or so. I think the closest analogue to El. Queens, would be Teatimes, (likewise, mini-Super-Buffer). Unfortunately, Teatime isn't very useful unless HSRed .. and one may only find 1 at max, anyhow .. And I flubbed that instance of AUB, (I hadn't yet realised it was important, so skipped the first 2 to 3 days). .. I feel I joined too late: no Halloween Hades, El. Queens, Regeas, or Huang Longs for me.. Instead, Benz or the equivalent. I think I may have downloaded V. Crusade, (or at least considered downloading it), on IOS, years ago, but somehow, never actually tried it, (though tbh it could have been a different ccg: Cryptids or similar; I forget exactly). How unfortunate..

re: 'Since it’s ideal to have 5 awakened cards for that to get the extra damage from awoken bursts and preferably GURs for the higher soldier count and max atk' => I have around 5 GUR / HURs, atm .. The trouble is that they lack synergy .. And most I haven't bothered awakening, on that account. I have Benz UR x2, Genie HUR, Lu Bu GUR, Lu Bu HUR .. and enough mats / drops for Pageant Alchemist HUR / GUR, (though the trouble is, I'd like to keep the Houris (amalg-mats; Buffers) for a while, for my Fire decks).

Oh, I was dc'ed during Chance Time, (on Fire day). Needless to say, I was less than pleased at the time. :)

re: 'Honestly, I think the appearance rates for the different SRs in EH just haven’t been balanced these last few events. Last event, I got 22 Gungnirs and 6 Excalibur. And this event, I keep getting Mias while I only have 1 Jubilee Hostess. It usually wasn’t this skewed in the past' => Same .. Though in the comments for the cards/event, some claim to have recieved more Jubilees (and obviously, Houris) than Mias, so it could just be me.

re: 'Finding a second Jubilee Hostess so you can HSR her would help' => I could concievably amalg her for a single UR Time Stop: Drum Major.

re: 'I’d use Sky Navigator or Engineer over Houri because of the higher buff and it not being element restricted. Just upgrade the skill if you want a higher proc chance' => I upgraded their skills just last night; ty.

re: 'I think it’d be easier to just message everyone to be on the safe side. Satori, Sevv, Enyx, Koichii, Brave, Artdano, Shun all can do good damage although I might be forgetting someone' => Ty. I will do so.

re: 'And if you’ve got some LAW boxes still unopened, I’d recommend checking through them first on the off chance that you do get a lucky drop before attempting to fight a LAW alone' => You should probably have guessed by now that I rarely recieve said lucky drops. :) .. Regardless .. I will keep hunting.  Almost all my keys are gone, so I will soon go back to hunting LAW exclusively.

Anyhow, ty for all the advice. I apologise for being a tad longwinded at times.

One question that just occurred: should I only hunt for LAWs in Low-Vit (Bonus) Areas? (Namely, should I skip High-Vit Bonus Areas?). And may (or should) I attempt to Ace the LAWs of others -- only until I have found 1 more Oracle? Or is this a tad 'impolite'?

re: http://valkyriecrusade.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Jcep31/ Valkyrie_Crusade_Appreciation => I read Satori's blog. Interesting.. :).  Yes, I'm sorry to be impatient.  It's just that I recieved one drop (albeit from Likeability) fairly early on, (at around 7 or 8 kills), and I'm never certain what to do when LAWs pop up: I can sometimes deal 'reasonable' damage, as I mentioned .. it's just that I never have enough time for more turns, etc, before they are toast. :)  So I typically have just followed your advice: use only the free attack. .. Though tbh, the FAW for this event, is somewhat sub-par, as far as I can tell: namely, she's a kind of Light version of Dainslief: 400 or 500% damage AOE, fairly low activation percentage, and only 2 procs .. I'm not sure why I wasted so much time killing FAWs, trading them, and so on -- apart from that I need URs. Possibly had she been Frost, this could have been an improvement. .. Still, I might try her out with Chocolate Candy and 3x Teatime, or thereabouts.. Once she's probably HURed or GURed.

re: 'Bluestacks' => This is so slow for me, that I don't bother doing much with it .. I installed it for LINE only .. and even there, it fails .. even to load LINE, currently. .. I don't quite understand why people start second accounts, though .. to each his own. There are only a few Guaranteed SR summons at the beginning, as I recall .. and the free card, (Griffin, when I began), though a GSR, is not all that terribly strong, to get excited over. Regardless.. It could be that I'm missing some key point.
