This is pretty much exactly what I hoped for, but didn’t think would come to pass. They’ve already released stats for the four-star Healer Girls and to be honest they’re pretty nice for silvers. Getting Echidna-style delays in non-fire elements with decent awakenings is pretty good value for trash eggs. The best part is they’re easy to skill up; it’d be even better if Nagas dropped in the Christmas dungeon.
What’s really exciting are the possibilities at gold. I’m assuming Genie and Sakuya are auto includes so I’m curious to see how many other Christmas-specific gold eggs they’re willing to add. Sakuya is at seven and Genie is at six, so I’d assume the MP card will be at eight like Claire and Kali. It’s probably safe to assume there will be at least one more at six and seven each. That leaves the five-stars. Murako’s tweet seems to imply that all chibis from all rarities are gone, but it doesn’t say anything about pantheon gods; the Chinese were in the Christmas REM last year. I’m really hoping the five-stars will be Christmas themed too, but I’m satisfied enough that the chibis are gone.
“In their place, lots of christmas-themed characters will appear!” Murako typo’ed, but that’s what the last sentence means. It does sound like if pantheon gods will be out of the machine too

The tweet seems to infer that it will be in place of the chibis. I don’t think anything was said specifically about pantheon gods. I’d like to think everything will be Christmas themed; just trying to not get ahead of myself until they announce everything.

I’ll be so much happier rolling the inevitable Christmas Chester if there are no non-theme cards in the machine.

I wonder if that means chibi ronia and chibi valk are now no longer obtainable ever. While I can’t say I’m sad to hear that (as i already own chibi valk) there’s no doubt that both of them are really really good for chibis and some argue chibi ronia is better than big Ronia XD
Then and again they’re replacing them with christmas-themed healer girls and I don’t know what I think about that because their stats are lower than the real healer girls, and those girls already suffered from issues. The awakenings are pretty sweet though.

I’m sure they’ll find some way to push that chibi garbage onto us again.
Their stats aren’t great, but they’re silver eggs so I don’t know what you were expecting. Silvers with weighted stats in the 600s are much more common than 700+ and these healer girls are way better than the mini Chinese who were around 500. These are REM filler, not team regulars so the fact they have utility use already puts them ahead of almost all silvers.

Chibi Ronia and Chibi Valk were in the Beach and Halloween REMs, so you can always collect them there (assuming they’re included again next year).

Menace is still one of the best utility skills in the game, and every color getting access to it with far superior awakenings than vanilla Echidna make these a great set of silvers. And dat art.

Agreed.

Seems like they learned from the mistakes of the Halloween REM which had what, every single REM chibi in it? It was insane amount of garbage.
LikeLike
Hopefully they also learn to push the power level of the gold eggs a bit further. I have no stats to back it up, but I’d like to believe that people rolled the Halloween REM less because it was filled with garbage and lacked chase cards.
LikeLike
Agree with this, they need to bump up the power creep to something like a Kali active with enhanced orbs already or something crazy like that.
Halloween Kali was nice, but she didn’t change anything.

I think HKali was the appropriate power level, it’s that the other gold eggs were pretty much worthless; niche utility at best. I rather not see power creep originate from special/collab REMs.

Man, I was just joking around when I said we’d be able to buy a Christmas DKali, but … welp. We will be able to buy a Christmas DKali, it looks like.

For the people who bought Kaliween, that’s gotta sting a bit.

Nah, if you bought H.Kali, it’s because you wanted an LKali replacement. This is for people who want a DKali.

Maybe people that have limited MP, but those people probably shouldn’t have bought HKali in the first place.

I didn’t think they’d ever do it, but this is great news for those with crappy REM luck (which is most people, I’m assuming).
LikeLike
Me either; I thought it was wildly optimistic. Now I’m glad I never pulled the trigger for Shiva Dragon. Since I run Ra Chicken as a primary these days, and only have one DKali, she’ll take over Okuninushi’s spot. Wow.
