I currently have all of the Octavinelle cards available in EN, and hope to keep the streak up (plus Kalim and Riddle cards when I can swing them). I also managed to get Fairy Ortho, which nearly killed me. I dread November. Tweel birthday. OTL ...now if only I can resist Playful Kalim. Resiiiiist. RESIIIISSSSST!!!
Something funny that you might appreciate was one time, for ruggie’s birthday event, (it was like last year EARLY when I started) I decided that I might as well do a few pulls, maybe it has better luck. I got the birthday bloom card after not 30, not 20, not even 10, BUT 3 PULLS 😭😭😭 bro was desperate to come home for free food 😭😭 btw thanks for the tips, I will need them with my 150 gem ahh ☺
i saw that conservative final amount and was like DAMN how do i only have 100 pulls??? and then i remembered that i keep impulsively pulling for cards that i don't even rlly want lol (im looking at u riddle bday cards) i've been playing since it launched on english servers so i know most of this stuff already but having a guide is also just nice to listen to especially since ur voice is like calm enough to like help me focus on other stuff but i can still remember what u say if that makes sense i also rlly like how u used ruggie as if he was talking about saving gems aswell
Yeah narrowing your focus is probably the hardest thing to do since there are so many cool characters and outfits, and the birthdays these days are getting out of hand lol. But I'm so glad that you liked the video and that my voice can help you focus! That's such a lovely complement, thank you so much
This video is great! Honestly I got super bad luck when I was trying to pull for masquerade Azul and I got him in what was probably 60-70 pulls and after that I wasn't able to keep up my login streak so now I'm just speeding twist-tune hoping that I could get enough for Bday Floyd (I got Jade in 40 and I've already spent abit over 40 on Floyd because of the solo keys)
There’s also a chance of getting a single key in Sam’s mystery box if you’re really close to a pity pull but it does require you selling stuff like characters candy or upgrades items. I’m only saying this as once I was 2 off from the pity mark and that the mystery box save me when I had no gems left.
So. Funny-haha. I got a key from Sam's Mystery Box not too long. For kicks and giggles, I pulled Trey's Birthday Broomquet using that key... and he came home. Thanks for sharing that fact.
I hope you're able to get Ace! His playful outfit is top tier~ And Ruggie fit so well I had to let him yap. Us broke folks gotta stick together ya know?
In terms of gatcha games Twst is fairly kind to Free players, especially if you just focus in on a few characters. Sometimes you might get unlucky with event placements but generally there'll be some time to build up between events. Also luck with pulls.
This video came at the perfect moment! During the masquerade event I was able to pull Malleus and Azul, and in the process I don't know how but I pulled Trey's and Jack's SSRS and I'm broke.
This is so helpful cause I'm gonna try pulling for armour Sebek in late November and I'm gonna need every bit of help I can get :( I calculated and between the 900 gems I already have, 15 individual keys and the 2 keyrings I already have, I'll have 60 pulls. Then with the tweels birthday keyrings and my own birthday one, I'll have 90. Let's pray I'll get another 300 gems by late November D:
@@sylvernoct He came in 80 pulls!!!! And he brought Dorm Silver with him. Kinda debating if it's worth to pull 20 more times for a guaranteed SSR... 20 pulls later and he came again, don't know what to do know...I suppose to grind more gems for when Sebek's birthday comes around!
Congratulations!! That's amazing I'm so happy you got him~ And dorm Silver on top of that? Wow! :O But now comes the gem grind haha. Still, congrats :)
I stocked up and spent all of my gems and keys to get the SSR Playful Attire Ace, (got him at the 100 pity mark SSR) and I'm now flat broke for the rest of the characters :')
TWST makes me so anxious. I started playing about a month ago. I stopped story progression (I only finished book 3, player rank 50) so that I could get ahead on leveling up cards (and also bc i am extremely stupid and am always waiting for the "right" time to watch or read something i like. I've been watching recordings of old limited story events on youtube.). And with the way people talk abt some battle in Book 6, I'm even more anxious. Seeing people's armies of 15 perfect team-ups for battles be all maxed SSRs on reddit is not helping, lol. I got extremely lucky and landed 3 SSRs (Playful Ortho, Birthday Bloom Floyd, and Dorm Ruggie (my starter)). Ik that I'm never about to get 2 SSRs in a single month ever again. I'm working on levelling them and upgrading spells and friendship levels. And I'm going to let my 22 SRs cycle through lessons. I feel genuinely lost on how much of what I'd need to complete what. For now, I'm just going to save 10 fold key sets from birthdays, promo log-in bonuses, and sam's shop. I looked through 2024's anniversary, and I'm hoping that 2025 will be similar. It seems like the celebration allowed 2 SSRs from 100 summons (pity pull from a dorm showcase + 100 tokens that could redeem an SSR birthday card). Doing the math, if i start saving now. I'll have exactly 10x 10 folds by then. Please tell me that I am overthinking this :,]
I get what you mean. Gacha games on the whole can be very overwhelming and Twist is no different, especially since it's not the best game at explaining it's own mechanics. I wouldn't let those reddit teams get you down. Those folks have had way more time to gather their resources, and there are a lot of story progression battles that don't require crazy maxed out cards. As a beginner your card pool will be smaller, but you also have a ton more gem collecting methods available to you, so you can catch up at least where SSRs are concerned. I think with what you already have you can absolutely get through books 3 and 4, probably even book 5. (Congrats on getting all three of those in your first month! That's awesome!) Book 6 is tough for everyone but I wouldn't fear it if I were you. Just takes things at your own pace :) If it helps, Azul's ceremonial robes card got me through a lot of the early game and it's only an SR. In my opinion, as long as you're saving up for SSRs you want and not SSRs you think you need, you'll be fine. SSRs are a bit more powerful and have that duo ability, but your SRs can still carry you pretty far. There are folks out there who have cleared book 6 by using some of the cards you get for free during events, so I'm sure you'll be fine! If you're curious about where your cards should be at, then I'd recommend taking a look at the game given battle support cards and use those as a guide. I tried to keep my cards at least 10 levels over those and it worked out pretty good for me. Early on elemental advantages and small bonuses, like groovy, can help way more than base level alone too. I'm not super good at math, and I don't know what missions and stuff you've got, but if you do get 10 x 10 folds and want one of the birthday cards, the anniversary would be a great way to do that since you'd be guaranteed 2 SSRs (assuming they offer the same trade). Until then, it seems like you've got a pretty solid plan so far for both card progression and gem collecting. I believe in you!
@sylvernoct Thanks :] So far, I've got my Dorm Ruggie to 72 (groovy), Birthday Bloom Floyd to 70, and am working on Ortho 56. I was lucky enough to get an SSR (Ortho) who duos with Floyd. My SR Robes Malleus card (72 + groovy), buddied with SR Sebek (65), got me through most exams and gauntlet battles initially, too. Working on free event SRs is probably my best option bc they can be fully uncapped, but i only have SR Playful Floyd rn. Most hard lvl gauntlet battles have been pretty easy (3 turns), and I've been getting B's on my exams. I'll try to find the Ignihyde boss battle requirements in detail, hopefully without spoiling myself, lol. Thanks for the encouragement. Working towards an endless goal can get demotivating real quick. I checked out some of your other videos as well. Amazing work.
Oh wow! Then you're set up super well already! Books 3, 4, and 5 aren't going to stand a chance~ I found that the Ignihyde boss fight was way easier than the ones leading up to it, so I wouldn't worry about that too much. Given how well you're treating the cards you have, I doubt you'll have too much trouble with that fight. In fact it seems like the only problem you might have is getting held up on the way to that fight. I get what you mean about the endless goals though. But I think if you take things a bit at a time it'll work out :) And thank you! I'm glad you liked them~
@@sylvernoct I had heard that chapters 66 and 67 of book 6 required 15 (5x 5 teams) unrepeated characters of 80 lvl groovy SRs or lvl 80 SSRs, with some characters locked in teams. I've since refused to actually make any progress on the main story and have been grinding away, lol (bit immature to want to stock up on story, ik). I suppose I have my work cutout for me for the next few months. Thank you for engaging with me :] You seem like a lovely person. I hope your videos find wide recognition and appreciation. I hope to catch one of your lives on old events :]
Ah yeah that does sound intense and would stress me out too! You do need 15 unique characters for three teams, and in those three teams some characters are predetermined because of the story, but I'll tell you that I did not have all my cards at lvl 80 and I was still able to clear relatively quickly. I did have all my cards groovy and some were fully uncapped. I think the 80 requirement will make it a smoother ride, but it's not 100% necessary, if that helps take some of the pressure off! And of course! I'm always delighted to have a conversation about Twist~ And if I can maybe help a little too even better. I hope you'll be able to clear 6 without issue and that you can make it to one of the livestreams someday :)
I got Malleus' glorious masquedare SSR card after my 100 pull and I'm broke since then but I need to save to get Crowley's card and Malleus's tsum card 😭😭
Thank you for this guide I actually needed this SO BAD (even though I have the lowest sense of saving hasjwjs).. may I ask where you know/the link of when the upcoming events are in both JP and EN?
@@octavifiore You're welcome! For upcoming events you'd have to look at the JP server and try to guess which order they'll come to EN in. The best way to know what's coming for sure is to check the in game notice that's posted at the end of the month in the updates tab. That said though, if you want to peak at the JP events with some info translated into English, twistedwonderland.wiki.gg/wiki/Events is a good place to go.

This was honestly happy to watch. Cause right I know my beginner's luck is over and I have to start saving
Yeah they really spoil you during your first year lol. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Throwback to when I pulled Halloween Silver in one single key. Not a ten, one.
God, to have that type of luck again.
@@Kayizcray That's insanely lucky!! I hope you manage to have that luck again sometime 🙏
I agree with so much of this. TW really is asking for too much and giving back too little. I don't even buy gems anymore.
I currently have all of the Octavinelle cards available in EN, and hope to keep the streak up (plus Kalim and Riddle cards when I can swing them).
I also managed to get Fairy Ortho, which nearly killed me.
I dread November. Tweel birthday. OTL
...now if only I can resist Playful Kalim. Resiiiiist. RESIIIISSSSST!!!
The struggle is real isn't it? I have to catch up on Jade's birthday cards this year, but Playful Ortho is right there... so tempting lol
I'm officially broke after getting Playful Attire Ace and Leona with 0 gems. I need to grind more gems and keys again
@@ChibiYesi857a Congrats on getting Ace and Leona! 🎉
@@sylvernoct Thank you so much. It was worth it because I got the cards I wanted. 😊
73 pulls in total.
@@ChibiYesi857a Oh very nice! It's always lovely when they come home a bit early, isn't it?
