Kinda new, about Klukai

[Ghaleon]

So I hear everyone loves Klukai (for gameplay too, not just design), and she's coming out. As a new player, all my good characters are Tulolu, QJ, Suoko, and maybe sharkry if you count her. But basically, I'm swamped with assault rifle users (Suoko being the exception). Klukai is yet another one. I can't help but wonder if I should pass on her even though everyone says she's a must?

I don't know if it would be wise to wait for someone with a different role, or if I should get her anyway. Unless I get lucky though I probably wont have enough cubes to get dupes of her and/or her specific weapon. I do have Peryita, though she's still level 15, I don't have the resources to level up so many characters still, but I hear that she has synergy with klukai.

You've got about a month from now till Klukai ends, that's low end probably 50-60 pulls without factoring in events and whatever you have banked at the moment. 160 to pity though I typically find you'll get it before the full 160.

Looks like 2 notable events will probably run during then. Aphelion probably drops the 20th for 2630 collapse paces if you finish it which is another 17 pulls. Daily Footprint drops 1500 with another 10 for a total of 20 pulls. So you might be able to relatively easily bank 90 pulls during this time.

Saw a few vids, skills are a bit ridiculous though I wouldn't say anyone really is a must have, even Soumi is really just nice to have so the ai doesn't kill itself when auto battling.

Daiyan and Mechty hits the 4/10 if you want to wait for those instead.

Klukai is a bit over exaggerated. She's insanely good, don't get me wrong, but she's only an "All-Rounder" God that's amazing at everything if you have her at v6. v3 is a good boost to her damage and a good stopping point if you want to get her to v6 eventually. Otherwise she's worse than QJ and even Sharkry in single target damage and is only useful for map clearing (which she's still really, really good at even at v0)

So if you aren't going for v6 to have her as "the only one you need.", then she's a strong doll but nothing special. I plan to pull 40 times for her and if I don't get her then I'll continue saving the rest of my pulls are being saved for Vector and Springfield.

If you don't get Klukai, she will haunt you 24/7. Personally, I just pull tdolls for "wow she is so cute/cool/badass" rather than to get ahead in the game. Which is why I never pulled for Ulrid, Type 95 and Wawa-chan (I mean I like her but I like G36 more xD). So I'll pull for them after I get 9, 45, 416 and other tdolls I like upcoming.

Depends. If you are a stingy f2p; I would say pass. If you are a whale; then go for the V6. Otherwise pull one for the collection.

Still waiting on Makia... Because if you played on steam version on launch; then you are f.a.w.k.e.d. We all missed the initial banner :( make life in pvp hard.

Makiatto is back with a limited-time banner

From what I've heard...

If you get Klukai, you get a good AOE doll for mobbing stages (but let's be real: all AOE dolls good for mobbing stages).

For the "Klukai is amazing corrosion meme team" experience for single-target bossing then you need her at V6 and you need a couple other corrosion dolls raised (Peritya and Mechty), which means she becomes a really expensive investment.

Kuklai is pretty gross AOE. Though supposely if you can whale it it'll deal decent single target as well.

She's also ridiculously unbalanced in pvp. First turn looks like you are guaranteed to kill off any cluster of 2 people with just her alone.

If it influences your decision, her spec gun is kinda mid, so you don't need to waste pulls on it. Tololo's gun is better because it boosts crit damage, and it has the added benefit of being available in the standard banner and in the shop, just give Klukai copy.

[sintri]

Would also note that while yes spreading your team out does prevent Kuklai from melting over 1/2 your team on turn 1, it also leaves your team to be severely ganked. Plus an AI controls your defense, you've got no chance at winning against her anyways.

Klukay is good qol as she speed up battles. You don't need her to beat the game but that's what sets her apart from the other dolls.

Fortunately for most content you can just borrow v6 klukay friend unit to clear fast for example guild patrol and events. But she is still good for the biweekly boss, even at v0 she can still be useful, because those boss always comes with adds so aoe is always handy. You should pull at least single copy and just use planeta as weapon. You can always pull her dupes on rerun if you want to.

what is v6? Does that mean you pull her multiple times and do the 6 fortifications?

v and a number refer to the fortifications, yeah. V1 is one fortication, V2 is two, and so on. For some characters, the fortifications can be huge buffs. For example, Makiatto's V1 changes her skill 1 by making it fire two shots instead of one, massively increasing the damage potential (especially if you kit her properly so she can regularly land crits).

So in case another noob is wondering the same thing. I ended up getting her and was surprised at how effective she is at just everything in general. Even bossing. Now now I know she's not AS good as traditional bossing characters WHEN YOU HAVE A BUILT ACCOUNT. But I personally do not have a full roster and everyones synergies and whatnot. So for example, Tololu's bossing potential is just her being able to shoot twice turn 1 and then maybe again by like turn 6 or so because I don't have Sabrina and/or whatever else that helps her get her 2nd attack again. QJ can do support attack up to 3 times per turn, which is 80%X3 = 240%, but that is only if all 3 other dolls do non aoe attacks against one target and no support skills.

Klukai's grenade attack, for reasons I don't fully understand, seems to melt health bars even when they are behind cover with stability points remaining as good as most other character's attacks after they lose all their stability points, making her useful for bosses (and that weird pvp mode). Her bike is obviously super op in aoe. But the fact it's not just a big aoe but 1-2 big lines makes its usability better than your average radius-shaped aoe.

I don't know if this game is generous with the pull rates or not, but I seem to get the targetted characters more often than any other gacha game I've played (I haven't played a ton but I've played 5 or so), so I did opt to get v3 Klukai, and probably will even go for her v6 by the time her rerun is announced. I'll try to get her v4 for now to make that v6 later easier even though her v4 seems to be her least useful of all the dupes (that skill in general I find never useful at all, her grenade is always just better in my case).

TLDR, most of the other characters who are better that her at certain things kinda need a special support or syenrgy character to really make that specialty case singificantly better. But Klukai kinda stomps with no support whatsoever AND is NOT a 'master of none' with the supports, but is in fact the best at mobbing too.

Klukai's pretty much unbeatable pvp without being severely outmatched. She'll pretty much one shot anyone regardless of circumstance if you let her move, and if you're grouped up that group's getting wiped. It's a ridiculously grossly op'd character.

For pve, she's probably has more utility than even Suomi, being able to wipe out the 80-100% of the map in one turn is just ridiculous.

Exactly. I just tried her on Combat Exercise and she just swipe the whole arena doing a lot of damage / killings
