[u/Correx96]

Hello, looking for the optc community discord. Anyone got a link? Thanks

[u/JFieldsTardTeeth → u/Correx96]

It's on the sidebar.

[u/Correx96 → u/JFieldsTardTeeth]

Oh thanks!

[u/valcrist6 → u/[deleted]]

No (as far as I know). The closest thing you can get to organize your dupes, is to sort by "Special".

[u/Tearsofwolf → u/[deleted]]

You can view what you have ever gotten Pokédex style in Menu > Voyage Log > Character Log, but you can’t sort your box by that. Sorting by Special has mostly the same effect, though some units are in different orders and it will throw anything without a special at the end.

[u/CorellianDawn]

New player here. I cannot for the life of me understand the captain system in this game. There's so many tags for types and ratings, I have no idea how to tell what is actually good. I did some random pulls and have ones that are combo characters and vs characters and ones that are EX (?). What is even going on here with all of these non-linear rating systems that seem to be competing with one another? I don't know how to tell which ones I should be ranking up. Also, theres all these books I can sacrifice for level ups, but it gives me a warning whenever I do, am I not supposed to be using those as xp fuel? I'm so confused lol.

[u/WWLXIX → u/CorellianDawn]

This game isn't friendly for new players. There is a tutorial video series that may help you learn more about this game https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0DnZpV_rwVucwUlY-j1h9UvJbbS-Cq2N&si=JxdDTgDTM6LW60sF

[u/AllNightDS]

in rumble team do the 3 characters in the team that only go in when the first 5 die, give the first 5 their passive buffs?
Or do the 3 characters only give passive buff when they are in they enter the round?

[u/WWLXIX → u/AllNightDS]

They give buff when they enter the round.

[u/OnePieceExists69]

anyone got some ez grand voyage teams for Baratie and above lvl 4 teams? Now that the ship is boosting CD. (lvl 3 would also be ok)

[u/valcrist6 → u/OnePieceExists69]

There might be some teams in nakama.network

[u/Jovial_Joker]

I just started the game and started to watch one piece, is there anybody in this game I should roll for right now?

[u/WWLXIX → u/Jovial_Joker]

The ideal reroll is PSY G5 (5 or 6 stars, not the 6*+ on DEX Luffy banner) and one of the new super sugo legends.

[u/Financial-Party-2408 → u/WWLXIX]

Got it thank you

[u/Financial-Party-2408 → u/WWLXIX]

Which part would you recommend summoning?

[u/WWLXIX → u/Financial-Party-2408]

Part 1 or part 3. Part 1 is for gamblers because it has almost all legends and the pool is very big.

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/Jovial_Joker]

The game is constantly spoiling one piece for you Q_Q

[u/StarvingVenom]

When the 5pulls from coop will be granted? Is there exact date and time?

[u/WWLXIX → u/StarvingVenom]

May, 23 4:00 PST. 

You can find date for every event in the in-game notice. 

[u/StarvingVenom → u/WWLXIX]

Thank you, I probably scanned too fast on the notice I guess..will check that out

[u/yarn_head]

New player here, do people mostly play on android emulator for rerolling?

[u/WWLXIX → u/[deleted]]

Twitter link option is gone. You can't recover OPTC account that linked with Twitter anymore even if you still have your Twitter account.

[u/Colorinas]

Is it advised to keep dupes of legends (on 5 star or one for 6 and 6+) or generally not useful besides few exceptions

[u/WWLXIX → u/Colorinas]

You should keep dupes for these legends because their 6+ are sidegrade and their 6* are still useful:

2 Copies: PSY G5, Yamato

3 Copies: INT Uta (she has 2 forms of 6+)

You may consider keep 2 copies of Luffy/Yamato and new PSY Shanks because they have alternate art.

[u/Colorinas → u/WWLXIX]

I see, thanks for the concise summary!

[u/Maifige]

HELLO , ABOUT TM .

How you get Super Bonus Map at TM, is it random or after 3-4 bonus map you get the Super Bonus Map?

[u/hesawavemasterrr → u/Maifige]

It’s not random. It happens after doing like 4-5 bonus maps

[u/tepo-tepo]

Hey, do you know the name of the little mushroom that Blackbeard gets in TM that save his ass ? ... I need the name to Google how to remove it xd

[u/WWLXIX → u/tepo-tepo]

It's a resilience buff. It's image of a man holding meat lol.

You can remove it by resilience reducing specials or just use specials or captain abilities that do end of turn damage like PSY Momo.

[u/WWLXIX → u/[deleted]]

[u/bobhole1]

Is the new Roger worth it? I used all my gems and got to Step 16 on the part 5 banner.

Managed to get more for another pull, but the step isnt that great.

Roger doesnt seem that good in Rumble/Grand Party, His special offensive boosts seems a bit situational but the debuff removal is good.

Will he just end up being another Legend that sits in my box doing nothing? Or worth a final try?

Missing Kdad/Hiyori/Roger on the banner. I got the other anniversary legends.

[u/hesawavemasterrr → u/bobhole1]

Roger is the best exp farmer in the game now and that’s valuable for many beginner players

[u/bobhole1]

What’s the next big banner?

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/bobhole1]

Probably a super sugo fest in august. If that helps.

[u/hesawavemasterrr]

If I get FR Luffy, would it be unreasonable to dump all 9 of my red LLB posters on him? I have Coby and Jack and kaido, he’s the final piece. But is he that worth it? Or would I be making a huge mistake?

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/hesawavemasterrr]

Talking about rumble he is amazing. Most people would advice to save LLB posters because there might be a time where you need them and then dont have them.

Lets say new event comes out where you need a certain unit LLB5 to clear it. You have that unit on LLB4 but now you have no posters....

That beeing said...saving the posters for 5 years and never using then (like heath potions in RPGs) is pointless also.

I think investing in Rumble units is never wrong because rumble characters usually stay strong for a long time.

That beeing said maybe you want to pull from rumble legends from time to time and use posters on those as you are more likely to pull for anniversary legends then rumble legends in the future.

Final decision is up to you still. I think in this case there is no right or wrong answer.

[u/Aluscar]

New player here confused about rerolling. So need some advice. 1) How important is rerolling. 2) Can someone tell me what is A) great reroll - ex 2 or 3 of these unit B) Good reroll- this unit + these units will do C) ok reroll 3) If not rerolling which unit or banner to focus on start.

Thank you i think if i get these answers i can start and learn the game better from thereon.

[u/hesawavemasterrr → u/Aluscar]

1. Only do it if your units are not good enough to start with.

2. There’s usually a tier list that’s updated which you can search up on Google. If the legends you pull are at the top of that list, it’s good. If you aren’t getting many of the top ones, just reroll

3. Focus on the units that are on the banner because they are relevant but there is a beginner banner which is also good

[u/kaikai0502]

I am a new player, which pool should I pool? and I should commit in one pool and get as much step as possible right?

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/kaikai0502]

If you are talking about the anniversary sugo. Then Id say as a new player you want to pull on part 1 because all Legends are available so you get a lot of new ones. Multi 10 is very good. And if you can get to 30 multies you even get a guaranteed new Legend.

[u/No-Tooshpas]

Hi there, I am a bit confused with how the rarity systems works( newbie here!).

Are all sugo rare better than super rare? Or are new super rare better?

How do we know which are super sugo rare?

How do we know which units are more recent, is the number on the card( 4xxx, 3xxx etc)?

Would there be a guide on the subject somewhere?

Lastly , which animations guarantee what?

Thanks!

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/No-Tooshpas]

https://optc-db.github.io/characters/#/search/ if you sort by ID you can see the order of the character (ignoring the first 10, if you sort from high ID to low ID, they are an exception).

Legends are "Sugo fest exclusives" and if you go to "collection" and then "list" you can see Ingame from where you get them. Super sugos from super sugofests 3 times a year. Anniversary Legends and the gamemode specific Legends are available whenver they are featured on the specific banner.

Rarity has a Star rating. The normal "Rare recruits" go from 4* to 5* when they evolve and sometimes can super evolve to 5+. Not any higher.

The Legends go from 5* (unevovled form) to 6* and when you superevolve them 6+.

The only animation that guarantees something IIRC is the gear 5 animation. And it means you get the new Legend. Usually more animations mean better pulls but I also pulled *ss with good animations soooooo.

Newer characters are better most of the time because they are boosted in upcoming content. Characters that are good in Pirate Rumble have good longevity and untis that are good in Kizuna also have better value most of the time.

If we look at 3706 Luffy. He is a super sugo legend that sees almost no play but usually super sugos are better than normal legends. Depends a bit on the character.

[u/No-Tooshpas → u/No-Tooshpas]

Thanks!

[u/No-Tooshpas → u/No-Tooshpas]

Thanks for the effort and long detailed answer!

[u/Dajav1202]

New player here; what are people referring to when they mention banners?

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/Dajav1202]

A banner refers to the pullable/new characters on a sugo fest.

So If I pull on the "s snake banner". Im pulling on the sugo fest where S snake is available.

[u/Dajav1202 → u/MuHUErtekaiser]

Thanks a ton! :-)

[u/puggl3s]

I just got to the first pull in the game and got a gear four snake luffy. I don't mind rerolling to get some good units...I just don't know who to go for. Who should I be looking for in the strawhat free pull?

[u/akaactarus]

Currently making a team for upcoming rumble championship and I have 2 options:

INT driven: King (Alber), 6+ Uta, Queen, kid/law, G5 luffy

INT cerebral: 6 Uta, Robin/koala, Halloween Law, Vegapunk Lilith, nami/carrot, f2p blitz battle luffy

I only have enough rumble exp to max one team, which one should i invest in ?

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/akaactarus]

Is the g5 in the "int driven" team the new int g5? You got any other INT Legends or rumble RR?

[u/akaactarus → u/MuHUErtekaiser]

Nah Im a beginner. I do have the Int driven big mom but I don’t have the ressources to max her rumble ability

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/akaactarus]

Ok this might seem weird but try:

Int g5 + Robin/Koala + Lilith + 6*Uta + Nami/Carrot + Any unit that fits with the cost.

[u/msh_halk]

new to the game, want to know what should i use to level my characters and what i shouldn't? and should i sell character i don't want or use them to level others?

[u/WWLXIX → u/msh_halk]

Things you'd use really carefully because they're hard to come by:

• Gold tablets

• Gold keys

• Level limit break posters

• Alternating pens

• Proof of friendship: ultimate bond

[u/msh_halk → u/WWLXIX]

thanks

[u/YouthFooly]

Hello! Looking for new players to complete the gem campaign with. Add my invite code for free gems!

ID: 264 003 465

Lvl: 74x

Invite Code: 311 532 241 98

[u/rahkeemball]

Question: Do characters that go through barriers and defenses also go through the new DMG Limit? Like blackbeard's captain ability or Luffy/Laws switch ability?

[u/RagnarLothbrok2525]

Is there no discounted skulls for Oden super evolution? I thought ALL skulls would have a discount?

[u/WWLXIX → u/RagnarLothbrok2525]

Super sugo legend skulls are not discounted.

[u/Araniet]

Hey guys, looking to join active alliance for future content, pretty new player tho, anyone got some space left?

[u/Roadkill-902]

Is there a character who can completely remove a 99 turn debuff? I want to get rid of non-normal damage does 1 damage.

[u/WWLXIX → u/Roadkill-902]

No characters can do that as far as I know.

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/Roadkill-902]

You can die with brook.^{But he is already dead, yohooo.}

[u/Wild-Impress-896]

Any ace replacement for ace in the current kizuna? The electricity is annoying

[u/WWLXIX → u/Wild-Impress-896]

You can use in-game filter to search for characters with paralysis reducing specials.

[u/Theheroforfun]

Does this community have a discord ?

[u/Roadkill-902]

How do I build for enough damage to defeat super boss shanks kizuna?

[u/WWLXIX → u/Roadkill-902]

When the super boss level is higher, one battle may not be enough to beat the boss.

[u/Theheroforfun]

Is there a box filter for legends? Or is sorting by cost the best way to do it

[u/WWLXIX → u/Theheroforfun]

You can sort by training points. All 5,000 training points characters are legends.

[u/Theheroforfun → u/WWLXIX]

Thanks! Is there any use for legends dupe or just sell them to Rayleigh? I use to be active a lot like 4 or 5 years I have no clue if there’s any changes for dupes

[u/WWLXIX → u/Theheroforfun]

The game adds level limit break for almost all characters. You can feed dupes to unlock level limit break and level up your characters to lvl 150. Some characters, especially 6+ legends, get ability/special upgraded aftey level limit break.

[u/valcrist6]

Hello everyone.

Who can remove the debuff that gives you damage if you use specials? (the 2 red lightning bolts that quick kizuka boss gives you)

Thanks in advance.

[u/WWLXIX → u/valcrist6]

PSY Boa and and characters who can remove a selected debuffs like Shirahoshi/Mansherry or PSY Straw Hat Pirates.

[u/velckright]

Is the skull discount for Kizuna clash permanent 20/25 tickets or only for anniversary? I can’t seem to find information in that, Thanks

[u/WWLXIX → u/velckright]

The discount information is only in the current Kizuna Clash notice so I assume this is only for anniversary.

[u/velckright → u/WWLXIX]

Thanks, will have a look and make a list of what I need.

[u/YouthFooly]

1) Is it worth feeding old legend dupes to max llb or should I exchange them for training points?

2) Is there a list of legends you need multiple copies of?

3) I keep 2 copies of each legend in case they get an upgrade - is this worthwhile?

Thank you!

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/YouthFooly]

1. Always (Imho) max their LLB with dupes. Ray points are not that useful.

2. Super Sugo Uta, Psy gear 5, Super sugo yamato at the top of my head. Dont know if there is a list.

3. Yes if they dont have an upgrade yet you can have 2 and wait for it.

[u/YouthFooly → u/MuHUErtekaiser]

Do u also feed your non-legend dupes to max llb or do u sell for ray points?

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/YouthFooly]

So me personally I feed RR dupes to the RR aswell. For the following reasons:

Some have good potential abilities like ship bind and I never want to use potential ability books on RR.

Some are good for GV and hard content where having them on 150 makes things easier.

[u/YouthFooly → u/MuHUErtekaiser]

Thanks so much, that makes sense! So ray shop only when everything is maxed out 👍

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/YouthFooly]

As a generic rule of thumb id say that is correct. Aplies to characters that are worth to keep. Old RR with specials like "does 8x damage and boosts orbs by 1.25x" are not worth to keep and go straight into slavery raighleys bazar.

[u/WWLXIX → u/[deleted]]

For INT team, Kid can be a replacement for Yamato.

[u/DevA06]

In the newest gift mail, luffytaro/zorojuro or nami/usopp? (or is anyone else better, I don't really have any of the units lol)

[u/WWLXIX → u/DevA06]

Nami/Usopp is newer and still be used for some contents. Luffy/Zoro is a bit outdated.

[u/DevA06 → u/WWLXIX]

Thanks for the answer! :)

[u/No-Adeptness-4527]

Im a new player to TC and i noticed there are a lot of draws out right now which is the best to draw for on a new account and who do i aim to get from said draw

[u/WWLXIX → u/No-Adeptness-4527]

I think the new legends (INT Luffy, Ace, Shanks, Roger) and PSY Luffy G5 and Zoro/Sanji are the top priority characters for this anniversary.

You can join OPTC Discord and see the full priority list at optc-reroll channel.

[u/valcrist6 → u/WWLXIX]

Do you have the link for the OPTC Discord?

[u/No-Adeptness-4527 → u/WWLXIX]

Thanks i took your advice and got 2 of the characters you mentioned with the starter gems thanks for the tip!

[u/valcrist6]

Hello everyone.

Returning player here, being ages since I last did a Kizuna, but why the missions skulls are not in my inventory?

The only skulls I have in my inventory are from the exchange, but I'm missing the 2 skuls from Yamato and Luffy that I should get from missions I completed. There is a date to get mission's reward?

Thanks in advance.

[u/WWLXIX → u/valcrist6]

Mission rewards and ranking rewards will be distributed late.

[u/BaesicXD]

In general, does 6* or 6*+ PSY G5 Luffy help clear through more end game content in terms of versatility? I know they both have different uses but trying to determine if I should super evolve. It’s currently at LLB1 (don’t ask me why I didn’t keep 2 separate units… oops)

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/BaesicXD]

The general consensus is to use either 6 or 6+ as captain and the opposit version as friend captain.

This way you dodge Bind/Despair/Special reverse with captain abilities.

You get a revive.

You can ignore barriers and defensive effects.

The 6+ can deal rainbow damage.

You get Orb/Atk/Colour affinity

[u/themanhimseft]

So how much gems can we get in story mode? As a new player?

[u/Hamza1423]

Hello, returning player, for PKA I have been farming for turtles and wondering is their any real reasons to farm up mini bosses to level 150 or is it better to just keep them at level 20 or 40 for farming turtles

[u/WWLXIX → u/Hamza1423]

I always leave them at the lowest levels. It's easier to auto farm exp after I cleared 500 turtles missions. 

[u/Gloomy_Mix_597]

Where is baroque works im a new player trying to unlock rumble

[u/MammothBackground643]

Hi I just started and got a luffy and law “those who destroy the facade of peace” should I start a new account for something better or is that already good?

[u/cesarinho33]

new player here. How can I play Kizuna Clash when it’s open? Can’t see any button that says ‘play’ lol anyone can help?

[u/WWLXIX → u/cesarinho33]

You can play it for 4-5 days a month. The next one should start next week. Try to  join an active alliance for more Kizuna rewards before it starts.

[u/cesarinho33 → u/WWLXIX]

Ah so I need an alliance to play it, nice didn’t know that. Thanks!!

[u/JFieldsTardTeeth → u/cesarinho33]

Well you don't exactly need to join an alliance, you can just play solo, but to reap more rewards, you should join one. Also you will get daily rewards for being in an alliance.

[u/cesarinho33 → u/JFieldsTardTeeth]

Ah now I need to find one haha. But bro sorry if I’m being a bit dumb but how can I play it solo? Just can’t find a button to play it it’s annoying 😅

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/cesarinho33]

You can play it once it it available in 2 days.

You can play solo but absolutely join an allience. Even if you are in an allience with 9 inactive members you get much more out of the event.

[u/cesarinho33 → u/MuHUErtekaiser]

Thanks, I just joined an alliance can’t wait to play my first Kizuna

[u/MuHUErtekaiser → u/cesarinho33]

Little piece of advice. If oyu cant clear the 10 star difficulty you can grab a team with boosted units (Friend captain SSnake + whatever you have).

Enter the quest -> press menu and quit -> put up an assist and wait for others to clear it.

You generate a decent amount of points that way and get some tickets.

[u/cesarinho33 → u/MuHUErtekaiser]

Thanks for the tip! Will probably have to use it hahaha, I still don’t have may powerful units to face that kind of quests, I barely cleared 3 or 4 10star quests 😅
