■ About Trait Medals 
・Trait Medals will only yield a new trait or one Special Attack dot when they are fused into their corresponding Medal. Trait Medals have different stats and abilities from their corresponding Medal. 
・Trait Medals are not equippable on a Keyblade due to their high cost. While they can be equipped as a Pet Slot Medal or shared, they are not suited for, or intended to, use as an attack Medal. 
・Each Trait Medal is worth 15 Pet Points. 
・Should you receive a Trait Medal from a deal, it will come marked as being "BOOSTED." 
・Trait Medals and their corresponding Medals share a slot in the Album. 
・During a High Score Challenge, or other event, where a Trait Medal's corresponding Medal is a Score Bonus Medal, the Trait Medal will also give the same score bonus.

Re: April 20th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

Are these events actually doable
it feels like they get extremely difficult unless you got really lucky pulls or whaled? At least that's what it feels like. These quests might've been easier with J&N B I think but I can't progress past Vexen quest #6 or #7 and with the timed challenge I'm stuck after #5 or #6 because it doesn't seem doable to me at all? The announcements sound nicer than the actual quest when they are like >complete *insert event* and earn up to xk jewels.
>gets stuck sometimes not even halfway into the quests ;;

Re: April 20th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

The way they're doing these quests now just kind of sucks.

You think ten quests giving 1000 jewels total you'll evenly get 100 jewels each quest cleared, right? Wrong. Most of them just give like 20 jewels. The vast majority of jewels must be contained in quests 9 and 10, which I can't even reach. I cleared 8 on one of them (the maiden one) and got 100 jewels.

These timed missions are just unfair. It's really not even about power (because I'm quite powerful in this game), it's about having the exact right medals that do less animation. =/

Re: April 20th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

Yeah, these Timed events are rather...I guess obnoxious is the best way to put it now. Because of how the timer works you don't get to damage the foe until 4 seconds in, which already wastes time, and there's an extra 2-3 seconds after the foe is killed before the timer stops, which means there's 6-7 seconds in total that the player cannot reduce no matter what. That could make the difference in these later ones. The foes aren't even hard to beat, they stay at the same strength through the whole thing which is fair. But the mechanics alongside how much they reduce the timer objective with each stage doesn't help the majority of us.

I think the worst part is that unless SENA pulled a Vexen on us and changed the Jewel Distribution for these quests, they're not to blame for this. JP has the exact same event, so we're all getting equally screwed over on free Jewels. I've heard those who have Scrooge are doing well on these as he has a faster animation than KEX/iXEX, but considering he was a limited rare draw that helps the whales more than the majority. My DD setup is my strongest setup that also has speed on it since the single hit medals like Marluxia EX and FFXion (who sits in the Pet Slot) are pretty fast. Still takes me a full minute to deal with the Mushroom as I can't one turn it and it just kinda wastes time with its "attack," around 40-45 for the Maiden, and I clear out the hammer bros in just under 30 seconds which is actually really fast but the later stages want under 25 for the Jewels. My setup can't get faster animations without sacrificing power somehow, and thus I end up actually taking extra time. It's a little annoying how backloaded the rewards for these quests are, and doesn't help the "Stingy with Free Jewels" image SENA has gotten, even if this case isn't even their fault. If the rewards were spread more evenly this would be a nice event. As it stands, it's one step back and a bad sign in general.

Re: April 20th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

Does JP have the same event now? Cause I thought we got it (the time event, not the Vexen one) because they were like "You'll get more jewels throughout the month" etc. but they are all "locked" behind quests that seem to be easier for whales or people with insane luck.

Also it kinda rubs me the wrong way... when people who clearly whale are like "you should pull from *insert 3-4 ex banners* these medals are important!!" like my dude no one has the jewels if you're f2p?
I'm still upset that I had to skip the xex banner, last time she was up was with the Axel release and now I waited months just for her to be in the store for 3 days and I thought after the HSC went up that we won't get any banners like kex/xex again or that they would give us some time after kex because of the KA16, Vexen, Vanitas etc. banners but there she was... and I couldn't pull, let alone mercy her. Now we get lots of banners AGAIN with content at least but ... they all seem really difficult to beat? I only saw people complete them who got 80% of the Tier 8s so far + possibly WoL again. I'm not asking for free jewels but this feels less like anniversary celebration related events but giving us events we should normally get because we're up to date now?

(Also I'm still hoping to see xex in a VIP soon so I can at least get for once VIP and not feel like I have to chase a medal but I'm starting to think that it'll never happen.)

Re: April 20th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

These timed events are crap. I can't get past 5 or 6 on most, and I have fully guilted Tier 7 and some 8. I really feel this game is leaving me behind and not vice versa. I'm not exactly F2P, but more a dolphin, or C2P. Still, I cannot complete Vexen (stuck at 10), the timed event, and the HSC is crazy. I go in with 91% and the most I can get is 42mil. I cannot afford this game. If it continues where I cannot keep up with any of the content other than story quests and proud mode, I will go full F2P and no longer invest money in SENA. No sense in pulling for medals that still do nothing to get me into extremely over powered events.

Re: April 20th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

I have Warrior of Light, Ventus EX, Aqua EX, triple (with a copy medal) Kairi EX but still can't do this event in time.

It's just frustrating for me. For months this game has been boring because they couldn't really ramp up the difficulty when neither Kairi EX nor Xion EX were guaranteed in reasonable amounts of pulls to save for. But now that they've been released for five pulls, the events are super hard and impossible for me. They went straight from boring auto quests with no difficulty to being straight-up impossible. SENA can't seem to strike a balance. If I can't clear these quests with all of my EX medals and triple cast Kairi EX, something is wrong.

These timed events are crap. I can't get past 5 or 6 on most, and I have fully guilted Tier 7 and some 8. I really feel this game is leaving me behind and not vice versa. I'm not exactly F2P, but more a dolphin, or C2P. Still, I cannot complete Vexen (stuck at 10), the timed event, and the HSC is crazy. I go in with 91% and the most I can get is 42mil.

No sense in pulling for medals that still do nothing to get me into extremely over powered events.

Don't spend money on this game ever. Like unless they do a $5 VIP deal with all of the farming quests, no money should ever be spent on this game.

The way you talk, I'm shocked you still pay.

I only occasionally bought a few jewels (never VIP, and when I bought a few jewels it was like once every 5 months or so because buying jewels/VIP never seems that beneficial to me even when I came close sometimes).

What medals do you have for HSC and what skills do they have on? Are they guilted? I did nothing but HSC the last 3-4 days just to get 65m and I mostly got 35m the first 2 days, then managed 54 and then 63 and in the end 65 so I can try to help you too!

The Vexen quests are poop tbh. Might be easier with J&N B but I feel like you can turtle with triple (or double? idr) Zexion and then use Vexen for defense too but I'm not sure. I gave up once the counter!Vexen started.

I know how you feel, it's frustrating when you have to skip on banners to save, on events because you're too weak and can't do much but don't give up hope! I have like 100 jewels now and can do nothing except raiding or do coli and I'm stuck around quest 5 with the time challenge because they suck imo... I was never a fan of them I can triple cast kex, I have KA16 fully guilted with ABVIMax and I still can't beat Vexen nor am fast enough for the timed challenge. It sucks that you can get so many jewels from these quests but they are really difficult to do and I'm kinda scared of how the other Orga events will look like cause I don't see myself completing any of them to get the full jewels so I know it can be frustrating but try to find other ways to enjoy the game.

Re: April 20th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

everyone really needs to approach the game in a much more relaxed fashion lol

Re: April 20th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

Yeah, the 6-7 seconds of wasted time really screw me over. I can one shot the bosses with my current set up, but it takes too long. This is what I am working with (Vanitas has EA):

These are what I have in storage that are tier 6 and above:

My pet is also at the final level so I get the PSM +1 bonus at the start of every battle. I tried it with Scrooge but I can only get it down to 34 seconds with the Pink Agaricus so idk what to do

Some people tried kex and the Mickey VIP medal (the one where everyone got a free copy and then it was VIP, I forgot the name)

the time attacks are really tilting ... the jewel distribution makes it worse when you're stuck.

Re: April 20th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

So like, KEX followed by KHIII Mickey EX?

Yes! it might be worth a shot but idk what skills or if the medal was guilted ;;

Re: April 20th - Kingdom Hearts Union ? ENG Update

I ended up mercy pulling the Riku stained glass medal and cleared the timed missions with that medal. Insane that I needed to pull that in order to clear the final missions!

I really wanna try it with one of the medals but... after the reset I might pull one more time but I'm still two pulls away from my mercy. A lot of people said that it's really easier with the SG medals. Maybe RNG is on my side today.
But congrats on clearing!

Gacha games. The person with the most jewels or money to buy jewels, wins.

But I had the most jewels in the past and got great medals that still stand against the toughest foes today . It was the stupid time limit I tells ye!
