Expert vs Elite Kuro

Just wondering where everyone is farming for Kuro. I am having trouble deciding. Expert has more and better chances for turtles which is awesome but cost double the stamina. Elite you get Golden Hammer USopp book but the turtle drop rate not as good as expert.

Personally I'd continue to farm Elite for the book. Turtles can be farmed from every single bi-weekly event but skill up book will be gone for a long while once Kuro event ends.

This event is all about special up your hammer usopp there's no is and or but about it. Even in Japanese version right now hammer usopp is use more often than any other special. Now is the one and only chance to drop the special down to 10 turns vs 15 turns. I think this is one of those event all new players that come afterward will talk, and cry about everyday. For anyone that's playing now go grind that elite level like mad. I am going play normal and see how far I can get his special skill up, but toward the last few days I am ready and willing to burn as many fruits as it take to see him at 10 turns. That's just too much of a game changer. When you have him at 10 turns you can use his special during mini boss at mid stage, and burn 10 turns and have him ready for boss fight. Also in reality since he delay 3 turns; you are actually only pushing 7 turns for special refresh. Now if you look at it that way 7 turns vs 12 turns. The difference is huge.

Anyway as you can see I highly recommend you do what you can, and run as many elite kuro as it take to bring hammer usopp special down, or you might regret it later.

The max level for Golden pound is 5 right? Meaning that you can only level up his special five times.

Correct Rob, 5 level, 5 turns difference.

I see, thank you!

Sounds like I'll stick with Elite. Thanks for the input. I wouldn't be able to stand waiting for stamina to regenerate anyways for expert =).

So far gotten 5 books but 0 skill up =\. But I agree being able to use his special potentially two times is game changer.

Do you think, there will be a "special lvl up" Event in the future

Yes there is double skill up chance event. As for the rate of skill up, I usually expect 1 skill up from every 5 book/same character cards, this is during double skill up event by the way.

I just dont drop any books. Got 2, thats it. Grinding 15S all time.
