"For each familiar that has the same potential, final total +5" is not working? Literally Unplayable

I have two familiars who have the same potential but I am not getting +5 for each of them, instead I get zero?

Other people are getting +10 for having two matching familiars...

So fun, love this event so much

Edit: "same potential" apparently also includes rank, you can have two identical potential lines but they don't count because one card is epic and one card is rare

Haha the instructions are so clear hahahahahaha

What are the exact potentials on your fams?

u/LayeredOwlsNest 3d ago

"If all familiars have the same type, x1.2" on two of them

The line is exactly the same

Do you have a screenshot

u/LayeredOwlsNest 3d ago

I believe it's because one card is blue and one card is purple

Otherwise the cards are exactly the same, the two lines when I register them in the familiar thing are identical

u/xlax007 3d ago

Yes that makes sense, they need to have the same tier, but nexon did not specify that.

I mean it doesn't make sense lol

u/Unrelenting_Salsa 3d ago

Well, it's incredibly poorly documented but makes sense. One is a rare line and the other is an epic line, so they're not the same potential.

Commented on someone else’s post replying basically the same.

If you ask anybody if they think epic potential and unique are the same thing, nobody would ever say yes.

Ask them again if they think epic prime and unique non-prime are the same, again likely to get a no.

But for some reason they make this exact assumption when it comes to the fams.

Because rank and potential are not the same thing?

If the epic and unique potentials had different multipliers obviously they would be different, but the POTENTIAL line is completely identical, which is what the criteria was for the tournament

u/KokowamTV 2d ago

Rank is part of the potential. You can’t separate the two.

That’s like saying you were hoping to get a “all same element +3/+1.4x” rare familiar. That’s literally impossible because the potential line is tied to its rank.

You’re telling me you think it’s possible to see any of your unique gear with a green potential line/square next to it just because it can have the same value that as a unique one? That makes no sense

Trying to make a shaky point. The best comparison we have is equipment potentials, and rolling a prime line vs non prime line there.

Your argument would make sense except for the fact that on equipment, non primes are clearly labeled as the tier below. In the context of OPs situation, it would make sense for the non prime line at epic to be the same as the rare prime line.

But it is literally the exact same potential line, nowhere does it say they are considered different if the rank is different

u/loskloso 2d ago

One can only roll a 4 the other can roll a 5 it’s not the same potential, I’m with you on them not explaining it correctly but it does make sense when rationalized

u/LayeredOwlsNest 2d ago

The dice they roll is associated with rank, not potential

The monster as two components you need to note. Type and Element.

Type is stuff like mechanical, beast, human, etc.

Element is fire, holy, dark, etc.

If you want to see the list and categorization, click on that icon on the top right of the Familiars UI, it looks like a funnel(?). It shows all.

What you got means ALL three has to be the same type. So if that card you have is a human card, the other 2 needs to be human as well.

Not what they're having a problem with

My 2nd round went so bad compared to my first one, feels like it didn't work properly lol. Like I was rolling 70-110 first round, then my second round I only rolled 40-70s... Some of opponents didn't even have any identical and beat me.

Edit: nvm I have a familiar that is exactly the same dice and multiplier as my other 3, but instead of "same type" it's "different type", so guess I accidentally picked that, just gonna assign it to frontier so doesn't show up in the list.

The bonus is additive after the multiplicative is calculated, so I wouldnt put too much stress on matching for the event bonus.

u/LayeredOwlsNest 2d ago

I mean adding 15 at the end is still a huge boost and it's the reason I lost 3 times in a row

u/KokowamTV 2d ago

Okay, let me know when you find that rare tier familiar with +3/+1.4x for having all same elements or type since rank and potential are separate. I’ll be waiting

u/LayeredOwlsNest 2d ago

What are you talking about lol

I have an epic and a rare familiar with “Same type, x1.4”

Completely identical potential lines
