Photon Drop Shop

[EXPFULL]

Hi all,

Just wondering what the most sought-after items are from the Photon Drop Shop?
I'd like to discuss this on the next episode of the podcast.

The list is too long to put up a poll, but I'd love to at least get your thoughts as replies.

I'm going straight after 支援デバイス/PP回復B Supp. Device / PP Recovery B myself.

Here's the list:

1 フォトンスフィア 1 Photon Sphere = 10 Photon Crystals
1 フォトンスフィア 1 Photon Sphere = 99 Photon Drops
1 フォトンクリスタル 1 Photon Crystal = 10 Photon Drops
5 獲得経験値+25% 5 EXP+25% = 1 Photon Sphere
1 獲得経験値+75% 1 EXP+75% = 1 Photon Sphere
フードデバイス/打撃ミニ 3 Food Device / S-ATK Mini = 2 Photon Spheres
フードデバイス/射撃ミニ 3 Food Device / R-ATK Mini = 2 Photon Spheres
フードデバイス/法撃ミニ 3 Food Device / T-ATK mini = 2 Photon Spheres
フードデバイス/技量ミニ 3 Food Device / DEX Mini = 2 Photon Spheres
支援デバイス/HP回復B Supp. Device / HP Recovery B = 2 Photon Spheres
支援デバイス/HP回復K Supp. Device / HP Recovery K = 2 Photon Spheres
支援デバイス/PP回復B Supp. Device / PP Recovery B = 2 Photon Spheres
支援デバイス/状態異常B Supp. Device / Status Effect B = 2 Photon Spheres
支援デバイス/能力上昇B Supp. Device / Ability UP B = 2 Photon Spheres
支援デバイス/能力上昇E Supp. Device / Ability UP E = 2 Photon Spheres
支援デバイス/能力上昇H Supp. Device / Ability UP H = 2 Photon Spheres
支援デバイス/能力上昇K Supp. Device / Ability UP K = 2 Photon Spheres
ガンシザー Gun Scissors with Power 3 = 2 Photon Spheres
ガンシザー Gun Scissors with Shoot 3 = 2 Photon Spheres
ガンシザー Gun Scissors with Technic 3 = 2 Photon Spheres
サブ/アドスピリタδ Sub / Adspirita with Power 3 = 2 Photon Spheres
サブ/アドスピリタδ Sub / Adspirita with Shoot 3 = 2 Photon Spheres
サブ/アドスピリタδ Sub / Adspirita with Mind 3 = 2 Photon Spheres

支援デバイス/PP回復B first for both 2x tech mag, then after that just get only +75% exp/ 25% exp depend on situation

Honestly, most of it doesnt seem worth getting. Sure, you can try busting 2 stacks of PDs for a risky try to get a fodder weapon/unit for a potential Soul + ATK III item, but there are way easier and cheaper methods to achieve that (it just consumes time, though). EXP tickets might lead you to get EXCubes eventually, but doesnt seem like a worthy investment. PP recovery device might come in handy for some people.

wtf is support action B do?

[Sizustar]

PP Recovery B activate when changing area, like PP Recovery A, only difference is
A - Trigger rate is high, duration is short
B - Trigger rate is average, duration is average
E - When PB Gauge is full, chance to trigger
H - During Emergency Trials - Trigger rate is average, Duration is average
J - You have to set the device setting, trigger rate and duration is low - time: 15 sec - Cooldown : 15 min, when activated PP recovery is 4x, cost 5% "bar" of Mag.
K - Activate at set inverval, duration average

Erm I thought most of them meant "interval" and not "duration"?
eg. H - Trigger rate is average, interval is average?

Which is why:
Supp. Device / Ability UP H = Trigger rate average, Interval average
VS
Supp. Device / Ability UP G = Trigger rate low, Interval low
I would pick Support Device / Ability UP G instead.

Because if I put it in slot 1, whenever there is a trial(you know how often that happens in MPA), it will have a higher priority to trigger (and if not, theres always another coming up shortly for another chance) and I dont have to wait a longer cooldown (like H) for another chance to activate.

J has different properties.
For HP Recovery - J is low interval, low amount healed.
For PP Recovery - J is low interval, low duration.
For Ability UP - J is high interval
It is NOT THE SAME for all.

To be honest, the only "good" or "better" mag device offered IMO is Support Device / Ability Up K.
It is average interval and better than the long interval from ver. J which you get by default for ranger mags.

Went directly for 援デバイス/能力上昇H and replaced the G version of it on mags. Didn't really liked the PP one since that does the recovery when you change area... and nothing really happens when you change area. :|

PP/B is very useful for heavy MPA players as you will constantly find yourself piping back and forth to the campship. And honestly if you're not MPAing more than half the time, you're doing it wrong.

I don't know, when I pipe during an MPA, it's for selling purpose, and by the time I get back, if I'm not actually with a party, then the MPA group already moved 1/3 a map away. Really only useful if you have someone else piping for you.

Plan your pipes, for example when you know the party is going to be hitting a dead end soon and doing the map route backwards, you can easily catch the party again. Also, sell faster. There are many ways to manipulate the game to your advantage. It requires a certain level of knowledge of the game.
