=Basic FAQ=
== About the Game ==


==What is Another Eidos of Dragons Vein R? ==
=== What is Another Eidos of Dragons Vein R? ===
Another Eidos of Dragons Vein R is a tower defense game that features gay porn. If either of those sound good you might like it. The gay porn seems to be branching out a bit from just vanilla scenes. The art is also made by many different artists. If you are the even an casual gay furry porn enjoyer, you might recognize some names.

==Will there be straight porn?==
=== Will there be straight porn? ===
Lol lmao. For real though, the women will get date scenes not sex. Take it or leave it.

==How much porn is in the game so far?==
=== How much porn is in the game so far? ===
There is a decent amount now. Both in the interaction screen and added in the story. A lot more of it was data mined so it should be added Soon™. How long ago it was found in the files and how quickly it is added seems unrelated. They tend to add content for story or event related characters.  
Each character has at least one porn still, save for a few exceptions. Quality varies and not totally tied to character rarity. Not all stills are locked behind gacha either, as they're part of story nodes in the main story or through events.  


==How are the systems of the game? Will I have to whale to get my furry husband?==
=== How F2P friendly is the game? ===
The flyer system technically allows you to pull 6 stars. Don't expect it to happen. The flyers also only has the base set of characters so no newer ones yet. If you have a character you really want to fish for rerolling is your best bet. A ten pull of flyers doesn't guarantee anything so use when you feel like. Unless you are looking for Amorey or Barboros they are both free. You also get Leonhart and Robin for free later at around 0-31. All mob units and 3 stars are also easy to get with flyers. On banners 10 pulls you are guaranteed a 4 star. It is still better to do this because 3 stars exist in them. So the only wrong move is to use 1 pull worth of stones or tickets. There should be limited units in the future should you want to save for those times.
The game itself is not hard, and doable with most characters, granted you've invested properly and have a decent team composition.


==Is there a spark or pity system?==
On the other end, getting your favorites as an f2p may not be as easy. (See next question.) You can check [[Pull Income]] for an idea how much you can farm.  
There is none yet. This question was asked to Habbit and they didn't want to disclose information at this time. Don't expect it anytime soon if ever.


==What is the best way to play? My phone keeps exploding.==
=== Is there a spark or pity system for the gacha? Even for 10 pulls? ===
Emulators are the best way to play so far. However since the game isn't very stable yet, results may very. The PC download link gives you a Nox player with the game installed on it. Try that first. If it works, great. If not, you can install the apk from the other download link to try a different emulator.
No. It has been constantly requested, and you can always make your voice heard through their twitter or their inquiries page.


==Which emulator should I use?==
=== Will I have to whale to get my furry husband? ===
Start with the one provided by the AE website, which is a modified Nox.  If desired, use a non-modified Nox from the Nox website. <br>
If you're open to spending and waiting for a while, the best way to get a character is through anniversary scout tickets given ever 6th and 12th month of the year.  
If Nox doesn't perform well, try Bluestacks 5.  If Bluestacks 5 doesn't work, try out MEme or Mumu Player.
If none of these work well and your game still lags, you likely need to upgrade your computer system with either a new CPU, new memory, or a new GPU.


==I got the Habbit launcher. What now?==
Ideally, you only pull for limited variants, since their non-limited forms will likely spook you off banner in the process.
 
Outside of these, it really depends on your luck (See above question.)
 
=== When is the best time to start? ===
If you're open to re-rolling, any time your desired unit(s) is on banner.
 
Else, maybe aim for when there's not a lot to do, since juggling priorities on what content to clear can be hard.
 
== Installing the Game ==
 
=== What are the ways to play the game? ===
The PC Client or through installing the apk to your phone or an emulator.
 
=== What is the best way to play? ===
The PC Client is your best bet. If somehow it doesn't work out for you, you can try emulators but it's less optimal route, since the devs cannot support you if you encounter a bug exclusive to emulators.
 
=== Does the game support my system? ===
Due to not being part of standard store front, it has no way to check any compatibility issues. But if your system can play unity games with 3d elements, it likely is capable.
 
=== Which emulator should I use? ===
Any emulators like Bluestacks, MEme or Mumu player could work.
 
=== I got the Habbit launcher. What now? ===
Make your account. It will be used for the game. You will also have to update the game using this. It will install the game when you are done.

==Why doesn't Bluestacks seem to work?==
=== Can I move my account from a different device? ===
Make sure you have Bluestacks 5. One of the updates makes it run Unity games better.
You create a Habbit account and your data is linked to that. As long as you have your email and password you will be able to move without a problem.


==What if I started on Nox and want to move to something else?==

==How hard is the game?==
== Playing the game ==
Since the story was adjusted, very easy. There is no kind of challenge outside of 4 stars. Chapter 1 requires you to do some work. It's not super hard yet.


==How should I build my team?==
=== How hard is the game? ===
Currently the meta is focused towards high DPS (damage-per-second) units with healer and supporters to keep them alive.  At the moment, there aren't many stages that reward playing defensively. At least one Cost-building Vanguard is recommended to put down early.   
Not at all. Doable with f2p units but most of the challenge can be shaved off by high rarity characters.
 
=== How can I farm pulls? ===
You get Dragon Stones, Edgar Scout Tickets, and Flyers by completing quests.
 
See [[Scouting]] for more info, and for for an idea how much you farm from playing see, [[Pull Income]].
 
=== Should I farm for flyers? ===
Intentionally farming flyers is a waste of stamina. You're bound to get these as collateral of farming drops you need to actually should be farming, namely, event currency.
 
=== Should I use Dragon Stones for stamina? ===
Never do this. It is much more useful to roll the gacha with it. If you wish to power through the story, you can use stamina drinks instead.

You should run at least 1-2 vanguards for early game lane holding while you generate Cost. 1-2 Healers to cover chip damage from allies. 1-2 shooters/casters for instances of flying enemies. And the rest of your favorites for dealing damage.

==How should I spend my stamina?==
=== How should I spend my stamina? ===
If you are a new player you should beat the story first. If you hit a brick wall or need mats do the highest exploration quests you can do. Supplies and funds should be your first priority. They will give you battle records used to level up units and the Draco needed to use them. Flyers are global drops on all maps other than explorations so farming 0-6 is the fastest way to get them. If you have all the money, battle records, gift boxes, and skill books you need, the best thing to do with daily stamina is to just farm flyers if there is no event going. You can also farm 1-21 if you want some extra money but it takes more time.
See [[Quests]] for Quest Priority information.


==How do events work?==
=== How should I spend my Draco? ===
Play a map and you get one event currency per stamina spent or stamina spent +2 for the later half of the pirate event. So far there is no bonus for using event related units, so just use the team you want to. Pay Blanc and most likely future events will use different payouts.
Draco is used exclusively for character progression. The short answer is to prioritize spending it on levelling up, and skills. Avoid using it for systems like proficiency.  


==Should I use my stamina candies/drinks for them?==
For more info, see [[Upgrading Characters]].
Not for the pirate event as it will last forever. For future events, you will have to decide that on your own. If you play everyday you should be able to make it without spending. If you can't do that then spending some stamina to farm when you can is a good idea. The events tend to last a while. (This one will last until 5/20/22) so you have time to wait and do what you can until the deadline draws closer to see if you will make it or not.


==What is the best event map to farm?==
=== What is Rank-up? When should I do it? ===
¡Viva el Presidente!:
Ranking up will reset the character's level back to 1 while retaining their current stats, and allowing them to level up and be upgraded further. This also allows them to level their skills up to 7.  
PE-12 seems to be the best deal at the moment. PE-12 is still easy while giving a little bit more then the stamina it takes to play it.


==Day & Night in Pays Blanc:==
This is done by maxing out their level and spending the needed draco and items to increase their rank.
For Pay Blancs event, PN-3 will be your new home. Not only is the map easier to farm and gives a sizeable 1000 draco per play, the battle records from PN-4 are worthless unless you are a fresh account and even then, clearing out the event shop will give you a ton of battle record 4 anyways. PN-3 has a better payout to stamina ratio.


==How should I spend the event currency?==
For more info, see [[Upgrading Characters]].
Buy everything you can then save for the other parts to unlock when you are done. The event store will show the planned items they are going to add. DO NOT CASH OUT UNTIL YOU GOT EVERYTHING ELSE FIRST! 1 CURRENCY FOR 10 DRACO IS A BAD DEAL!


==How should I spend my Draco?==
=== What are skip tickets? How should I use them? ===
Level up units first, then skill upgrades. Proficiency is largely a money sink and should only be invested in when everything else is done first. Getting your team to 8+ should be maximizing the system. You won't get much stats past that point but you will get some attack speed that is still useful. If you do not want to not mess with proficiency and save for future systems or them reworking proficiency, you don't lose that much by ignoring it.
Skip tickets allow you to directly get 3 star rewards from stages without having to play them. Using it will still consume stamina.


==What are skip tickets? How should I use them?==
It is ideal you spend these on on-going events, with battle nodes that consume as lot of stamina (25 stamina stages.)
Skip tickets allow you to instantly get the rewards for a mission you have already beaten with 3 stars. You will lose the stamina for the mission so you must be able to pay it for the ticket to work. As for suggestions on how to use them, it's better to use them on longer, higher stamina cost missions. The third tier exploration quests seem like the way to get the most value out of them melting them into Draco and materials. Saves the most time too. It might change in the future if mission rewards keep going up. If you want to be lazy and use them to skip some of the daily farming that will have to be up to you. You get 3 a day plus they are likely to be a reward from events in the future. So while they are limited, you shouldn't have to agonize over using them or saving them.


==Some of the wiki pages look a bit off...==
Your only means of getting these is through log-in rewards, and event shops.

So far there is no bonus for using event related units, so just use the team you want to. Pay Blanc and most likely future events will use different payouts. Events remain playable after they are done. Event currency can only be earned in event times. All other stage rewards will stay as well. There are also challenge quests for extra scene(s) added near the end. If you are having trouble with the quest, they did nerf the first one so they might do the same for the others when the run is over. They also give a little extra if you beat it before the nerf so there is no reason to wait unless you can't do it. The Event maps will stay up still give their drops other then event currency. So you don't have to worry about missing the story.

[[File:Example 300 Scouts For Billford.jpg|thumb|386x386px|Obtaining featured characters can be difficult, even as a 5-star. In this example it took 300 scouts (1200 stones) to scout the featured 5-star【Water-Fun Captain】Billford. Take note of the many off-banner rares and other featured characters that were scouted before he was.]]The ''Another Eidos'' premium scouting system centers around the concept of "All featured characters have rates greater than 1%." This is achieved by simply adding 1% to the featured characters' standard rate. The standard rate for a specific character is just the standard rate for their rarity divided by the number of characters within that rarity.
The standard rates for 5 and 6 stars are low and the number of 5 and 6 stars is high, as a result there isn't much difference between scouting for a specific 5 star or a specific 6 star. At the time of writing this, the difference between scouting a specific 5 and 6 star is only 0.37%. When featured, both of 5 and 6 star rates only have 1% added to them, the difference between scouting a featured 5 and 6 star is still only 0.37%. As the number of 5 and 6 stars increase the closer the rates for a specific 5 and 6 star will become.
You may notice you scouted more featured 6 stars than featured 5 stars or that you scouted the featured 6 star before the featured 5 star. This doesn't mean the featured 5 star is more "difficult" to scout than a 6 star. 6 stars will always be more difficult to scout than 5 stars. What you are experiencing is a cognitive bias called "insensitivity to sample size."
Variations from the norm will occur at smaller sample sizes. You may spend 400 stones obtaining unfeatured characters or characters you don't want, but this often isn't enough to detect the small difference of 0.37% between specific featured characters. Additionally, the odds of getting any off-banner 6 star is actually higher than the odds of getting a featured 5 or 6 star. This is because the standard rate for any 6 star is 2%, which will always be higher than a specific featured characters' rate. Obtaining an off-banner 6 star before the featured 6 star is completely normal, it just might not be the one you want. Same goes for 5 stars which have an off-banner rate of 10%, your chances of obtaining an off-banner 5 star are much greater than your chances of obtaining any featured one.
So basically don't pay too much attention to a featured 5 or 6 star character's rarity, it doesn't make too much of a difference while on-banner.
=== Character Rates Formula ===
<pre>
To calculate the odds of scouting a specific unit use the following equation:
 
R = S/T, where
R = Odds of scouting a specific unit in a single pull
S = Standard rate for a unit's rarity on the banner you're currently scouting
T = Total number of units currently with the same rarity on that banner
 
*If the unit is currently "Rate Up" on the banner add +1% to their calculated odds.
EX)
Anima's Single Rate Calculation on the "Investigate the Endless Mating Season!" Pick Up
R = S / T
R = 2% / 20
R = 0.10%
Add +1% because he has rate up = 1.10%
</pre>
=== Probability of Pulling Character ===
<pre>
To calculate the probability of scouting a specific unit in N pulls at least once use the following equation:
P = 1-((100%-R)^N), where
  P = Probability of scouting the unit at least once
  R = The odds of scouting a specific unit in a single pull
  N = number of single pulls
Odds of obtaining at least one Anima in 10 of pulls on the "Investigate the Endless Mating Season!" Pick up.
P = 1-((100%-R)^N)
P = 1-((1-.011)^10)
P = 10.47%
Odds of obtaining at least one Anima in 20 of pulls on the "Investigate the Endless Mating Season!" Pick up.
P = 1-((100%-R)^N)
P = 1-((1-.011)^20)
P = 19.85%

Wiki-related[edit | edit source]

Some of the wiki pages look a bit off...[edit | edit source]

The wiki in general isn't laid out for people who have ultrawide 4k screen resolutions. Try zooming-in (or out) the text size until it looks right for you.

What are the odds of getting my desired unit?[edit | edit source]

Obtaining featured characters can be difficult, even as a 5-star. In this example it took 300 scouts (1200 stones) to scout the featured 5-star【Water-Fun Captain】Billford. Take note of the many off-banner rares and other featured characters that were scouted before he was.

The Another Eidos premium scouting system centers around the concept of "All featured characters have rates greater than 1%." This is achieved by simply adding 1% to the featured characters' standard rate. The standard rate for a specific character is just the standard rate for their rarity divided by the number of characters within that rarity.

The standard rates for 5 and 6 stars are low and the number of 5 and 6 stars is high, as a result there isn't much difference between scouting for a specific 5 star or a specific 6 star. At the time of writing this, the difference between scouting a specific 5 and 6 star is only 0.37%.

You may notice you scouted more featured 6 stars than featured 5 stars or that you scouted the featured 6 star before the featured 5 star. This doesn't mean the featured 5 star is more "difficult" to scout than a 6 star. 6 stars will always be more difficult to scout than 5 stars. What you are experiencing is a cognitive bias called "insensitivity to sample size."

Variations from the norm will occur at smaller sample sizes. You may spend 400 stones obtaining unfeatured characters or characters you don't want, but this often isn't enough to detect the small difference of 0.37% between specific featured characters. Additionally, the odds of getting any off-banner 6 star is actually higher than the odds of getting a featured 5 or 6 star. This is because the standard rate for any 6 star is 2%, which will always be higher than a specific featured characters' rate. Obtaining an off-banner 6 star before the featured 6 star is completely normal, it just might not be the one you want. Same goes for 5 stars which have an off-banner rate of 10%, your chances of obtaining an off-banner 5 star are much greater than your chances of obtaining any featured one.

So basically don't pay too much attention to a featured 5 or 6 star character's rarity, it doesn't make too much of a difference while on-banner.

Character Rates Formula[edit | edit source]

To calculate the odds of scouting a specific unit use the following equation:
  
R = S/T, where

R = Odds of scouting a specific unit in a single pull
S = Standard rate for a unit's rarity on the banner you're currently scouting
T = Total number of units currently with the same rarity on that banner
  
*If the unit is currently "Rate Up" on the banner add +1% to their calculated odds.

EX)
Anima's Single Rate Calculation on the "Investigate the Endless Mating Season!" Pick Up
R = S / T
R = 2% / 20
R = 0.10%
Add +1% because he has rate up = 1.10%

Probability of Pulling Character[edit | edit source]

To calculate the probability of scouting a specific unit in N pulls at least once use the following equation:
 P = 1-((100%-R)^N), where
  P = Probability of scouting the unit at least once
  R = The odds of scouting a specific unit in a single pull
  N = number of single pulls

Odds of obtaining at least one Anima in 10 of pulls on the "Investigate the Endless Mating Season!" Pick up.
 P = 1-((100%-R)^N)
 P = 1-((1-.011)^10)
 P = 10.47%

Odds of obtaining at least one Anima in 20 of pulls on the "Investigate the Endless Mating Season!" Pick up.
 P = 1-((100%-R)^N)
 P = 1-((1-.011)^20)
 P = 19.85%
