It may be months (or weeks...) before support ability hit global, for now I've added the functionality to display them to Template:Character

It took us a year or so, I know, but we have it now: check Lace for how it looks and works. The parameter is {| | | SwitchEffect = |- |} and it should go before the limit break field. I've also changed Lace captain's ability using normal code - I don't think we need separate tempalte fields for his three captain abilities, they can be just added in this format to the dual units using pretty much normal text.

Fortunately there are so few dual units that we have just what, 10 or less? to update. (Do help)

I played a bit with code/amin dashboard, and I think I enabled rename category option for our wikia. You can now rename categories from the pull down menu. 

Next week is WB FN and I want to make heads up for player:

You can get Thatch - mostly good to socket your QCK Thatch

Rakuyo - He is INT and have same special as PSY Rakuyo for INT orb, he is good to guarantee 2 INT orb  and you can use as socket for PSY Rakuyo

Fossa - another great unit to own and to socket your STR Fossa

Curiel - mostly socket and you can socket this one also (STR Shooter)

Personally I am looking forward for Thatch, Rakuyo and Fossa.

And we also Kraken and Croc FN next week, I will have very less sleep next week >.<

Holy snap, we get 3 of these and they give 5 mil exp each! Now to just get a legend to use it on.

Everyone, it's been a long time. There's been ups, downs, and I'm sure we all lost hope at this point. But THE DREAM DIDNT DIE! NEO MARINE CAPTAIN, "BLACK ARM" ZEPHYR, IS COMING TO GLOBAL! GRAB YOUR USOPPS AND SHANKS'S, WE GONNA BE FIGHTING AN INT SOON

Guys! It... is... coming! Do you know how long I've been waiting for this?!?! This guy was on soooo many of my squads for Japan. His special is absolutely bonkers, he fits on cerebral, powerhouse, STR.... and frankly... ANY TEAM when there are orbs that suck. That's right, I'd rock him ALL the time just to get those orbs and orb boost and he'd be a no damage character (same as using Usopp right?) Ps. his combo is 7 so he takes out high armor dudes really well too!!

So, he's STR, but don't worry, there's a stage with zombies in the lower corners. You can stall on those with a non-boosted unit as they will NEVER attack. Just stall... that's it... you win! The fastest team I believe is a double Thatch which can still get wrecked on RND orbs. But activate your first one before entering the stage and then activate your second Thatch (must be max 10 turns).

I know I've been super busy so my contributions haven't been as steady as usual. I've seen you guys step up and this is awesome! It hasn't gone unnoticed. I promise to try and get you guys at least a video first thing Kuma release morning. Don't think I can do written as I'm just slammed with stuff to do, but we'll fix this soon and I'm really happy with how you guys are stepping up as a community! Keep it up and let's farm this Kuma! Seriously... he's worth it!

That's right everybody! It's coming to global. And one of the stages has the 2.5x shooter lead with 1.75x attack boost special to shooters. Will Zephyr finally be released on global?!

In any case, we're getting a ship that boosts Strikers ATK/HP by 1.5x at the cost of reduced chances of RCV. Get pumped, this won't be easy!!

My bad on not noticing that it was Princess Turtles today guys! I usually like to have these updated in advance but I've stopped running turtles so I zoned out on this one!

So I've updated Turtles with the new meta game we're seeing on Princess Turtles. Shattered Fortress provided a really good foundation and I see Antonlabz from Reddit making some Global friendly versions. I've put everything I can think of combined with this wiki's ability to use categories to auto list units so I think it's a good resource now. Take a look and add or update anything that can help people run turtles faster!

Hey guys!

I know general wisdom is to wait for 1/2 stamina to clear storymode islands, well I couldn't wait and did Thriller Bark pt 2 yesterday!! I had never done it before on Japan so it was new for me and crap was it hard! I don't like looking at guides before I play stuff as I like figuring things out in my own. I wasted a lot of stamina on 2-4, and 6!!

If you're banging your head against the proverbial wall, check out the mini guide I wrote up on Moria's Mast Mansion. I still need to add things and tweak, but I wanted to get it out for you guys if you needed it or wanted to see other ways to clear. Try it out and let me know any additional tips you have or any questions if you need more help! We'd love to help out! I dropped Oars and Perona but not Moria... guess I'll grind on 12 for him as he's great for Princess Turtles!

Regards,

 Una

Hey Guys!

I'm sure you saw the in-game announcement of Buster Call raid incoming to Global Sunday/Monday! We're nearing the end of my Japan knowledge. I think I've been through Nightmare Luffy, Raid Kuma, and then right at Boa 60 is about when I stopped playing Japan. Maybe I'll pick it up again to make sure to stay on top of things for this wiki!

What you need to know is this isn't the usual 5 turn raid level.. BUT, it's not too bad! It's easier than all 60s, Duvall, and Heracles'un in my opinion. What can be taxing is that it is long, so farming it is really annoying. The main guy you want is Momonga who is a 2.5x lead for Cerebral units AND is an attack booster for Cerebral. Woot! As usual there are turtles to stall on so high cooldown units can definitely be considered since there's so many turns and fodder/evolvers.

There are 8 stages and there being 6 bosses that you'll battle that are surrounded by minions. I can't remember if they all respawn, but for some reason I remember at least some of the levels would respawn the minion units? I guess we'll see soon, but each stage has a trick that isn't too difficult. Most of the guys do something under 20% so you'll want to make sure if you're going to attack units, you take them out.

As for your team you can do this with Slashers, Rayleigh, G3 etc. I think most legends will work but haven't tried with all of them. They each have issues. So with G3, having to hit your perfects with the number of dudes you're going to have to kill can potentially cause issues with an occasional miss. Slashers have a stage that reduce the damage of slashers by a fixed percentage. It's HIGHLY recommended you use the coffin boat if you're going the slasher route. I found Usopp and a healer are useful for whatever team you create! The name of the game is longevity and flexibility. There are a lot of battles so you can't blow your special load on every stage. Good luck with your farming guys!

All,

User:Kingounet has suggested we organize a list of characters needed for missions. I agree as I too can get salty when I needed a character to complete a mission and I have to farm them again. I added Category:Characters needed to complete missions.

Please help by adding characters that you know are needed. Take note this is only for that particular evolution of the character. So if any evolution works, please add the category to all of the character evolutions. If only one will work, example Iron-Mace Alvida Smooth-Smooth Fruit for Missions: Alvida's Hideout, please only add it to the the evolution that is relevant.

Also, keep in mind I've added a Notes attribute to characters. Please use this to add any useful information to the characters! I've added which missions they are needed for in the notes when I add this category. See an example on Cabin Boy Coby.

Anything you guys do to help is appreciated! Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!

It's dropping rare recruits for FP points. I've picked up Monet, Jozu, Buffalo etc. it's believed to be a mistake so hurry and get it while you can!!! Thanks to User:Orinshi for notifying us!

Hey guys,

If you pulled Lao G. this Sugo-fest you may be asking what the heck is a G Orb. Just to inform you, it increases a character's attack by 1.5x.

A normal matching orb increases a character's attack by 2x. So, not as good there. Also, it is NOT a matching orb. So a matching STR orb on a STR character's doubles their attack. Activate a Doffy and it doubles their attack again! However, a G orb will not receive a damage increase from a slot boost character. They will still only output 1.5x attack.

Better than nothing I guess! Any cool uses with this guy let us know. We'd love to highlight usage in Notes section of characters.

Optc calendar updated. If you have Shanks Black Clad Emperor prepare to gem to socket him! Boa users prepare your blackbeards for Domino fortnight! Thatch prepare to run Young Zeff!

• June 28: Apprentices! Shanks and Buggy!
• Jule 5: Krieg's Assault
• July 12: Chief Jailer Sadie: Cruel and Unusual
• July 19: Young Zeff
• July 26: Domino's Maximum Security

Hey all,

So the Duval raid was announced recently! He's not very overwhelming as a character and has 3 character evolutions to go through - however, his special is

Cuts the current HP of each enemy by 20%, reduces damage received by 50% for 1 turn

which can be quite useful! It's a niche special and certainly has its uses, but is not a game changer the way a MAX/MAX/MAX mihawk/doffy can be. Since he has 3 sockets, he can provide some much needed socket love to your DEX, Shooter, and Free Spirit teams.

A small tip is keep any Sanji Paraj Shot units in your box around. He can be used to evolve Duval to his final form as opposed to using all the evolution material.

As a preparation tip, make sure you have your Blackbeards at special cooldown as close to MAX as possible. Some people have pulled it of with 17, but the lower the better. Once Duval despairs your team, you'll unleash BB's special to basically take him out! Just beware the ladies who despair you throughout the stages. You'll want to target them first, or in the case of stage 4 you can use Usopp to stall them and take them out casually.

Good luck with your farming guys! I'll have my Blackbeard up all day who's MAX/MAX/MAX so feel free to use him to put Duval back in his place!

Hey guys,

We got a great opportunity to be one of the first sites (I think?) to list immunity on Environmental damage! Even if we're not, I think it will be something we need to list to help out given the hundreds of thousand of visitors we get on this site.

With the recent island of Little Ms. Candy the Maiden-Hearted, it was cool to see that Kama Island characters were immune to the Environmental Damage unique to that level. It kind of bugged me I didn't know who was a Kama Island character the first time it was around. I presumed Ivankov and the droppables were considered this based on reading the Manga. I tested and found out the characters and put them in Category:Kama Character on them to help users who may want to use them to beat the level.

So now, you probably have noticed the every two turn damage on Fight! Sand-Sand Band!! You'll notice that your Crocs probably haven't been taking any damage from the environment, presumably because he's used to the Intense Heat. I postulated that it might be people from Alubarna and tried Nefertari Vivi Voyage Log: Princess of Alabasta, Pell The guardian falcon of Alabasta, and Chaka The guardian jackal of Alabasta just now and they also received no damage! That's awesome detail from the developers to have characters used to the heat ignore this!

So, let's put the category Category:Intense Heat Immunity Character on these people so we can link from the strategy guide to help people pick their teams! It's not super high damage, but it's fun to know and play with! If you find a character that is immune (probably many Alubarna characters?) add them to this category! Thanks guys!

Here's some characters to test out that are in Alubarna arc, some aren't from the island so we must test:

• Koza or Koza Alabasta Citizen
• Karoo or any of the other supersonic ducks? I've sold off most of mine...
• Nefelari Cobra King of Alabasta Kingdom
• Mr. 8 Igarappapa
• Any Baroque works agents or grunts?

• Maybe Halberd Billions Baroque Works who is shown in the Sand-Sand band?
• Mr. 2 Bon Clay?
• Miss Merry Christmas
• Mr. 4
• Miss Doublefinger
• Mr. 1

There are a lot of people gripping that there is no 2x Skill Up event right now despite the posting. Use your characters at your own risk. I didn't really have an issue but here's what I got:

• 5/20 on Arlong
• 6/20 on Rakuyo
• 6/25 Kuroobi
• 2/34 Heracles
• 1/5 Law
• 1/5 Croc
• 6/30 Choo
• 3/18 Bellmere
