December Road Map 2018: RFB, Cafe, Voucher Event, and Special Rescue!

-

Good day EN players!

Today MICA has posted their road map for the December 2018 for EN server and comes with few information. Let's dive in little closer on each one.

1. New T-Dolls x5



Starting on December 4th, we are getting new dolls after the maintenance! Notable dolls worth mentioning from this batch will be RFB [AR] and T-5000 [RF] but let's go ahead and look at each doll individually. [With personal opinion of what dolls should be priority if you have limited pulls. It's okay to have difference in opinion!]

RFB [AR] 3:58:00
Priority: #1

RFB is doll that has interesting skill which after 6 second initial CD, prioritizes shooting enemy units on the backline just like RFs for 5 seconds [8 seconds @ skill level 10] with buff on FP and ACC.   While this sounds amazing on ARSMG group, RFB has one of the lowest base RoF, which necessitates support from other dolls to really shine.  Because RFB can equip PEQs while RFs cannot, with right buffs she can take out those pesky Jaegers in the backline during night missions with relative ease once skill kicks in. 


T91 [AR] 3:48:00
Priority: #3


T91 is designed to be a Night AR with focus on buff on FP and Crit% increase. Unfortunately She is overshadowed by Queen and Princess of Night [Ots-14 and 9A] in terms of performance. If you don't have Ots-14, she is not a bad option to raise, but there is a reason why she is not as well sought after. I have included a video of comparison between T91 and T65 [3 star AR]


Video should start @ 4:30 for direct comparison with Skill and Stat comparison at the beginning of the video.



Shipka [SMG 4-star] 2:18:00
Priority: #5


Shipka is Evasion focused SMG that has 6 initial CD for 130% increase in evasion for 5 seconds. Her buff tiles increase RoF by 15% and Evasion by 10% to ARs. Sadly due to low HP, she won't last much in battle even with high evasion as few lucky shots can put her into critical state. Would not recommend personally as main tanker.


T-5000 [RF 4-star] 4:10:00
Priority: #2 (if you do not have SVD or WA)



T-5000, A.K.A. 0.9 WA. Due to her unique buff tiles that gives CD reductions up to 2 HG, it is studied often along with SVD. Only downside is that her initial CD is 6 seconds compared to 5 seconds for WA and SVD but buff on ACC with skill activation is also worth nothing [50% at skill level 10]. T-500's base stat is comparable to SVD and would be a suitable candidate if you are not looking to dupe. The buff tile "forces" T-5000 to compete for position 7 in the formation, which usually is WA or LEE in 2RF3 HG formation.


Ameli [MG 4-star] 6:25:00
Priority: #4 (if you are getting sick or raising dupe Big 4)



Ameli is rare 4 star MG that gives 15% armor buffs to all 3 tiles in the front for SGs, which is often better or comparable to 5 star MG buff tiles. Sadly her skill put her in the same category as MG4, which is the butt of the joke in MG category. However with free special Equipment during event and comparable Stat to MG4, if you are looking to increase SG armor for the future content [and CE bloating], she is not a bad doll to have.

2. Cafe




New auxiliary room: Cafe is where you can look at thematic costumes' behind story. If you click on coffee icon by the doll with new costume on, you can read about their story and interaction with shikikan. If you collect enough costumes from the specific theme gacha, there will be an additional rewards often in terms of furniture. 



Gramophone

This is how you select each theme [such as Halloween or Christmas] and this will bring any dolls that you have costume for chosen theme. Most of the behind stories in same theme will be related to others in some way. You can collect each theme in 3 tier system with new rewards on each checkpoint.  


[Example shown]
Logbook


Log book is quicker, artsy[?] way to look at your collection rate on each theme and rewards.



***

Future Contents

Comic Book Shelf and Projector

These are additional sinks for the Batteries to unlock loading comics and Summer/Winter Campaign PVs that might or not be released on initial launch. For each comic or PV you pay with batteries to purchase, player is rewarded with special furniture or commander Icon for the ID. If 5 comics are purchased, there is a special T-doll as additional reward.

Coffee Maker

This is also where MOD system story will be available for each doll and for each story, there will be a bonus memory fragments as reward for watching the story.

3. Christmas Voucher Event



[Click on image or open in new tab to enlarge]

Image above was for the Korean Christmas voucher event last year where Kalina Costume shown above was identical to the one in December Road map 2018. Main difference is that EN server does not have Area 8 unlocked, and could have different total Gingerbread available for the event or the Items available. 

It would follow same method as other voucher/bully events by killing boss on each chapter to earn the gingerbread cookies [again amount can be susceptible to change]. Then certain amount can be traded at the show tab for a rewards shown above, with few noticeable items like LAB 16 Capes and HP ammo, along with Ameli's special equipment.  

With lot of great rewards on the list, I would recommend playing daily to get much as you can!

4. NTW Christmas Skin for Login event





Not much to describe her other than log in during event time to earn your reward just like NZ75 login event!



 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




5. Christmas Sales & Re-supply Gacha




We are expecting our first Christmas Gacha: White Carnival (CN:2016)


Here is the link where you can check out all the costumes and prices courtesy of GFC corner!

6. Public Vote for Special Rescue Event

This one is new on EN server that we will get a chance to vote for which dolls to reappear as limited boss drop during limited time! I would recommend asking more questions about it during Monthly QnA session to your favorite Media Outlet. Monthly QnA goes from Dec. 4th to Dec. 6th on various platforms so keep an eye out!
