I. Overview

Premise
The story begins with Aldo and friends wander into a version of Miglance ruled by the Beastfolk. They encounter Serge, Kid, and Harle who cross over into the same world.

Serge's Light: To Raise or Not to Raise?
An analysis by

1. Should I raise Serge to 255 light?

2. Should I use Dash Cut: Heavens, or Sky Arrow for nuking post AF?

Calculating mod for 5☆ skills:

According to formula on Wikia, at 16 light:

1. Sky Arrow Null-type: 210+16 × 1.5 = 339; +315 from max extra attacks = 654%

2. Sky Arrow Element-type: 200+4 × 1.5 = 306; +300 from max extra attacks = 606%

3. Dash Cut: Heavens Null-type max stacks: 170×4 + 4= 684%

4. Dash Cut: Heavens Element-type max stacks: 160×4 + 4 = 644%

Answers:

1. Use Dash Cut: Heavens for elemental nuke at any Light value (use this most of the time)

2. Use Sky Arrow for Null-type nuke. If Serge is at 255 Light, Sky Arrow has a 1013% damage modifier (use this very rarely; only if all other Types are resisted)

3. DO NOT FARM SERGE LIGHT TO 255 if you don't know what you're doing. The gains from the light boost on his skills are marginal. The AD does not drop chants either. The difference between 16 and 255 light is:

+59% mod to Dash Cut: Heavens Element-type (the one you want to use the most) for an 8.6% increase in actual damage

+59% mod to Dash Cut: Heavens Null-type for a 9.1% increase in actual damage

+89% mod to Sky Arrow Element-type (59 × 1.5 Pain multiplier) for a 14.7% increase in actual damage

+359% mod to Sky Arrow Null-tupe (239 × 1.5 Pain multplier) for a 54.9% increase in actual damage

Reminder: Element-type moves are typically better than Null-type moves. This is because null moves do not benefit from the elemental modifier, which typically will result in elemental moves doing around 1.6× more DMG against neutral (not weakness/resist) compared to null moves with the same multiplier; hence the above recommendation to almost always use the elemental version of Dash Cut: Heavens. The elemental modifier can be increased via other means as well; null moves can't take advantage of that. This is why at 255 light, even though Sky Arrow Null's mod (1013) looks to be higher than Dash Cut: Heavens Elemental's (703); the latter with an average elemental mod would be 703×1.6 = 1125%, which is better than Sky Arrow Null which doesn't get an elemental mod = 1013%. For more details on this, check the .

Since people will inevitably compare Serge to Strawboy:

Serge with the ability to equip Elements should be a better version of Strawboy for most people. The main QoL improvements being that you don't need to reincarnate him to change Type, and that he has access to Underworld elements. Serge does not have some of Strawboy's support moves, and is restricted to Slash damage only unlike Strawboy, but in practice those may not be notable drawbacks. Use him wisely with Kid, Harle, and the other free units.

And that's the end of the livestream. Will be making some minor edits. A question for the sub. Would you prefer live recaps or TL;DRs after servers align?

I'm sure no one cares if I'm quitting this game but the community here is unlike anything I've joined. At least in my experience there is no toxicity and everyone is willing to help. The daily question megathread is most helpful and busiest of all. So i want to thank you guys for all you've done here.

The reason i quit is really out of frustration. I'm a f2p player here (I've paid on other games) cause i think the rates are bad here. SDE is the only thing worth it but i think it defeats the gacha. I'd rather have a pity and buy monthly subscription or packs to get that pity or pull for more.

With that said, my story began on tiramisu. I grinded my achievements and saved 7k stones. I got nothing. My hard earned stones gone without a return for my time and effort. That's where i lost my interest on the daily grind. I logged in just for the daily mail, thinking i would get my interest back if i get a 5*. I skipped most of the banners following. Here comes AS Foran and Thilillele (I don't know the spelling) banner. I said, this is where i would spend my stones. I want just one of the two. I have 5k stones. I pulled with high hopes but frustration is all i got.

Conclusion is I'll stop here. The game is absolutely amazing and can be played f2p no problem but it's like eating hotdog without ketchup or mustard. But you can buy ketchup on a ridiculous price. The hotdog is good but it will definitely be better with ketchup. I don't want to collect them all but i just want to get what i want and i think the game doesn't want me to do that without spending on SDE.

I could quit silently but i think the staff lurking here would want an opinion. (Scott, I summon you).

Thank you and good bye Another Eden.

EDIT: Thank you for the support AE reddit community! After some thought, I'll give it a try after 6 months or so if it renews my interest. This is a great game with an even greater community. Cheers to all and I wish you good luck on your pulls!

Hello everyone. It’s the final countdown, so I hope you are enjoying every single last moment of 2023.

As usual, there have been so many new contents in Another Eden this year and along with them are a ton of new characters.

Therefore, in your opinion, who is the best character that was released this year and why? Surely there can be only one, right?

Oh, and your flair doesn’t count. Choose unbiasedly. Also, this applies to both GL and JP.

I saw this going around twitter with Genshin and Honkai: Star Rail... So why not start an Another Eden version of the same thing? I'll start it off!
