Soccer Spirits Player Arts Rip (26/07/2015)

Someone from reddit extracted the player arts from the game and shared it to the world.
Here are the links:

Ardor
WhirlWind 
Thunder 
Dark 
Light 
Manager 
Others 
Unreleased 

According to him, unreleased only includes Freyr (4* Light Manager) and AU64 Nicki (3* Thunder Assist), since those are the only 2 unreleased characters with art. Others without art include:

• Haga 5* Dark Attacker 
• Linde 4* Light Attacker
• Kyle 4* Dark Assist
• Ivelian 4* Dark Leader 
• Irina 5* Dark Leader

The images are transparent, so you can use it for photoshops.

 Freyr (Evolved)

Honestly, Freyr is so cute. I hope BigBall will release her soon. I will sacrifice 500 GP just to get her :3

Teamwork (Waifu?) Questions And Answers Spreadsheet

Teamwork System is the mechanism implemented for the first time in patch v1.16.2.

Occasionally, after a match you will be presented with a question from one of your player. The question will be random and each player's answer will be different most of the times. An answer can grant you +1 heart for good answer, +3 hearts best answer, or -1 heart for bad answer. Sometimes, a question only has good answer and bad answer without a best answer.

Do you notice the heart bar next to the player's level? The player's max HP will increase according to how many hearts you've collected. The maximum number is 30, so the max HP is increased by 30% when the hearts are full. Once a player's teamwork bar is maxed at 30%, they will never ask you any more questions.

This system is more or less similar to dating simulation game (or Visual Novel) where you need to pick the best answer to fill the hearts quicker. The difficult things are sometimes you can't just guess which is the best answer. Some players are masochist (I think?) because when you disagree or insult them results in best answer. Fortunately, there is a google spreadsheet to help you.

Without further ado, here you go:

Double First Purchase Rewards Bug

Hi, it's Com2uS!

We've noticed an issue of the first purchase reward for this week(1x 6 Star Rare Spirit Stone) being doubled.

Originally, it should be 1 Rare Spirit Stone on the first purchase and 1 Rare Spirit Stone for every 50,000 points accumulated (up to 7 times), but currently 2 6 Star Rare Spirit Stones are being given out.

Considering the fact that there are already players that have received 2 Spirit Stones instead of 1, we've decided to change this week's first purchase event reward to 2 6 Star Rare Spirit Stones.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Food For Thought:
Well, another bug from Com2uS again, but this is a generous bug. I think it's a good deal, there's no minimal amount you need to spend to get the rewards. When you make a purchase you will get 2 6* RARE Spirit Stones. So if you have some extra money, maybe you can spend some dimes to get the rewards and at the same time to support the developers.

Spirit Stones Max Stats

I was wondering if I can know the max stats of the spirit stones I have. Luckily, I came across to this spreadsheet:

> 50,000 Gold will be given out for each missing Spirit Stone.

※ There may be a chance that there will be no options restore according to the Spirit Stone's grade​

Please note the maintenance schedule to avoid any inconveniences. ​

Food For Thought:
No Extreme Evolve announcement this week. (Where's my Luka EE!!!) Instead, a new Season 2 character has been added, Vivid Fear.

Vivid Fear is has Attacker Role and attack power-max HP WW/Dark ace from BigBall. She might be a good alternative to Saramir if you don't want to use her. She has Whirlwind element even though from her art she might fit into Dark element better.

She has unique skill sets. Looking at her skill, she is more like a jack of all trades. She can act as a line healer with first passive, reflex and attack power debuffer with second passive, spirit generator with third passive, and line breaker with active and third passive. With combination of her active and third passive, she can deal a lot of damage when penetrating, however without her active I doubt she can perform well. As an attacker, she is inferior to the other players with the same role because she has no EE yet. So, if BigBall decides to give her EE some day, I'm really looking forward to it.

There you go the patch note for this week update, nothing more really worth mentioning. I hope we will have a big update coming sooner than we expected. I'm looking forward for BigBall to reveal more EE players, possibly for season 2 player.

14 Days - New & Returning User Reward

This is a new system that BigBall implemented in the Season 2 major update. In short, if you're a new user or haven't been logged in for 21+ days, you will get this 14 days daily rewards instead of the usual 28 days rewards.

 

The rewards it offers are really tempting, so tempting that some users choose to be inactive for three weeks just to get these rewards. In total you will get:

• 500 Crystals,
• 2x 5-Star Player Card,
• 1x 5-Star Littre,
• 1x 5-Star Gatekeeper,
• 500 GP,
• 1x 5-Star-6-Star Spirit Stone,
• 1x 6-Star Spirit Stone,
• 6000 FP, and
• 400,000 Gold.

In my opinion, this is a good system from the developer BigBall for new or returing users to catch up with current users. However, please be aware that you can get more by playing actively every day. So, I don't suggest this method to people who can log in and play every day. The game is for you to enjoy, it will be pointless if you choose to be inactive just for the sake of the rewards. But, if you're having a vacation, a business trip, a summer camp, or maybe you're training in the mountain fighting a bear and you can't log in for a period of time, then this method might be for you.

Adieu Season 1 Event Poll Results

Hi, it's Com2uS!

We'd like to thank all of our users for showing lots of support for the Adieu Season 1 Poll event!

Check out the results you've all been waiting for!

1. Character Skin Pole Results

(1) Lilith (7.8%)

(2) Lucid (5.2%)

Lilith was voted first place by a landslide!

Lilith and Lucid will be the first characters to have skins when the skin system comes out!

2. Cosplay Poll Results

(1) Sharr (7.3%)

(2) Metatron (7.3%)

(3) Valkyrja Beth (6.8%)

It was a close competition, but in the end, Sharr received the most votes!

Originally, the 1st and 2nd place winners of this poll were going to be cosplayed. But a cosplay was already done for a Korean offline event for Sharr, so, we've decided to expand and include the character in 3rd place for the cosplay event. 

The preparation for the cosplay event will take some time, and we will announce the detailed schedule through a separate notice.

Thank you all once again for your support!

Food For Thought:

I can't believe they've fallen for Lilith

The results of the character's skin and cosplay event have been out! Lilith and Lucid took first and second place respectively for the skin poll! As expected, most people have fallen for their charms (and sexy pose?).

In the other hand, Sharr is the first place in the cosplay poll followed by Metatron and Valkyrja Beth taking the second and third place respectively. However, because of Sharr's cosplay had already been done very well before along with Lucy in the Korean anniversary event, this time it will be Metatron and Beth's turn to shine. I'm excited to see how it will be done, considering their outfits are more complex than Sharr's. Even though, to be honest in my heart I was hoping that the result of skin and cosplay is to be switched... No! I'm not pervert! Please don't judge me!!! 

Joking aside, it's very nice for the developer to have events like these to give a something different to the players to enjoy and also a nice way to increase the game's popularity.

Here's my two cents, I hope you will enjoy the game as much I enjoy it. Have a nice day.

Soccer Spirits Season 2 Trailer

Soccer Spirits had its first anniversary recently and BigBall as the developer just released an anime trailer for it. If you haven't watched it yet, here you go:

Please BigBall just release an anime already! Well putting that aside, the trailer is gorgeous in my opinion. It's fun to see naked William, perverted Littre, Noa in her pajamas, Hercules pawning some extra characters, and also some tidbits of other players. The best scene in the trailer is without doubt Guinevere getting bullied by Vitos.

I hope in the future BigBall will have so much money so they can fund an anime for Soccer Spirits (preferably by ufotable plz :p)

Soccer Spirits Patch Notes (July 15th 2015)

My first post after a while is... Patch Notes! Please don't hate me. Well, without further ado here it is:

July 15th, Update Details
Hi, it's Com2uS!
Here are the details of the update on July 15th.

■ Update Schedule
July 15th 10pm - July 15th 12pm PDT

■ Update Details
1) Character
● Extreme Evolution Rasiel(Flash) has been added to the game.

Rasiel's ace skill names have been unified as "God's Secret".
Rasiel's active skill names have been unified as "Book of Secrets".
"Stiffen" will be replaced by "Defensive Tactics" when Rasiel goes through extreme evolution.

• Stiffen: Decreases the enemy's defense and action speed by 70% with a steal.
• Defensive Tactics: Decreases the reflexes and action speed of the enemies within the position each by 25% and 50%.

Notes: From Korean translation, Defensive Tactics only has a duration of 2 minutes and procs on a steal!

2) Features
● The boss match against Rasiel(Flash) has been added to the game. The schedule regarding this match will be announced through a separate notice.

3) Bug Fixes
● The issue of Alkyde(Dark) moving to the forward line when a friend's Alkyde is being used has been resolved.

4) Misc.
● During the maintenance on July 1st and July 8th, some users who have experienced Spirit Stone option losses will have their options restored, along with compensations. 50,000 Gold will be given out for each missing Spirit Stone.

※ There might be a chance that there will be no options restore according to the Spirit Stone's grade
Please note the maintenance schedule to avoid any inconveniences.

Food for thought:

Well, BigBall (or LightBall) decides to release another boss EE after Qiyou. Honestly, I don't know what makes them decides to release another Light EE instead of releasing EE for other elements, like Lucian, Raklet, or Luka which are highly on demand. This will add another to the long list of Light EE (by this time Light has the most EE).

Rasiel as boss character will have lower stats compared to other natural *5 players. But, since she's farmable, she will be a big help for new players whose teams are not yet complete. The new skill "Defensive Tactics" is a nice upgrade to her skill set. I think she might go well in 4-man reflex mid or in frontline coupled with utility strikers, like Kirin for example since they both reduce speed within position and she also reduce reflex to help your frontline to steal the ball back. However, her role as "Leader" is a big drawback for her AI. "Leader" players will only attack when their HP is full or more than the target, otherwise they only block or pass. If referring to the Korean translation of her skill, it procs when she attempts to steal, that means in PvP, she will only steal a few times when her HP is still full, thus reducing her usefulness in auto mode. Otherwise, she is a useful player and if you still don't have her yet, please get her next week.

Apologize Letter For Inactivity

First, I need to apologize for my inactivity for these months. I was so busy with the real life and without realizing, Soccer Spirits has already had its First Anniversary and entered the Season 2 with new players and better (or worse) system. Personally, I like some of the new systems like Stone Combining System and Dimension Shop, but to be honest I will miss the Elemental Draw and Neris Trade. Well, enough reminiscing, for now I plan to revive this blog again so that means I will post more regularly. I hope this time I won't mess up again. Without further ado let's start the first post after a while ;)
