Geryu/PPP Keepsake (Dec 2020)

The KS event for this month is the Claw Machine, and 2 KS available, Geryu and PPP. It will start on 27 Dec.

TLDR:

Skip both. If you have too much diamonds and focus on PvP, Geryu KS is not too bad. Skip PPP KS and buy from Peak Arena.
If you’re a whale you can draw for the other rewards (eg omnishards, tickets etc)

Let’s take a look at the Ultra-Ultimates!

Geryu

Ultimate: Attacks each enemy in a row with 5 consecutive strikes that deal 130% ATK dmg, and afflicting the enemies with Fear (seals 1 energy for 1 round)
Ultra-Ultimate:
Dmg 130% > 165%
Seals 1 energy > 2 energy

Puri-Puri Prisoner

Ultimate: Attacks a single target in the back row with 5 consecutive strikes for 210% ATK dmg, and applies Weaken to target (ATK is decreased by 40% for 2 rounds)
Ultra-Ultimate:
Dmg 210% > 265%
Weaken 40% > 50%

Thoughts:

Geryu KS is actually pretty good for PvP, especially if you don’t have King. With KS, he will now seal 2 energy. He is also a monster-esper type, so he can fit in well with Gyoro core soon. However it’s practically useless in PvE.

PPP KS is also very good, for both PvP and PvE. A highly levelled and geared PPP with KS can easily destroy the opponent’s backline. He is also useful for certain PvE niche scenarios due to his 50% weaken, like Boros club boss and HxM etc. HOWEVER, as you can slowly save up and purchase his KS from Peak Arena eventually, I would not suggest drawing his KS in the claw machine.

CLAW MACHINE REWARDS SELECTION

If you intend on pulling him, please have a reserve of 16.8k diamonds – that’s the max draw cost. I wouldn’t recommend you pulling if you have less than that. And also don’t forget you need another 7920 diamonds to buy LSSR BTs when the next month comes.

- Not recommended:
  - DISK chest – you’ll eventually have an overflow of it due to being gated by core powers.
  - Figurine base – you should have better bases by now
Tier 5
- They removed a lot of useful items so most of the selection here now is total crap.

Pro-Tip: Finish up the game coin quests, as the game coins carry do not expire and carry over to the next claw machine. So you can save up coins for a claw machine KS that you might want in the future.
