Fortnight Review: Halloween Strawhats Twilight Party!

I know many of you who check the Japan version of the blog are wondering why we have the Halloween Strawhats over the Kimono Strawhats fortnight. The reason is simple. Both of these are special holiday fortnights. It wouldn't make much sense to release a Chinese New Year fortnight around Halloween now would it? Instead we got the more appropriate holiday island! 

Happy Halloween Weeks!

This Luffy is an interesting one for sure. He holds decent stats but they aren't the highest we've seen either. As for his special, it could possibly show some potential. It's multi purpose, and contains a unique buff which is never a bad thing. The ability to boost the whole crew without color or type limitations is incredibly useful. The only issue is that it's a weak boost. He may find some play in niche rainbow teams but other than that he will be simply another character for players to fill their collection. 

At first glance Nami seems like a toss away unit but let's break her down and see if we can find some uses. Her stats are all fairly low aside from her RCV which is high for any units standards. And RCV is simply where characters like this shine. Her special is in no way bad. 3k is nothing to laugh at. And what's even better is her low max cool down of 8! With a cool down this low, it wouldn't be too hard to fire this off multiple times in a fight, especially if you have an RCV based team. In the right hands and team, I believe this unit could be worth the time to invest in.


I really like this unit. He gives a nice utility to shooter and STR teams. Again this is another unit with a low cool down. His special reminds me of Kid seeing how they both manipulate their own orbs and have incredibly low cool downs. As I said with nami, it wouldn't be too hard to be able to pull off this special more than once in a battle. Gaining his own orb to red and potentially matching another orb (or switching a weak orb with a neutral orb) will increase the overall damage significantly. Because of these reasons I believe Franky is worth the exp and grinding to max his special. Definitely one of the more useful units of the bunch


Chopper holds some pretty weak stats, which may cause some of you to dismiss him, but hopefully I can convince some of you to see his potential. Take a look at his special. Reducing gloom (or silence as some would like to call it) is an invaluable tool! Think back to Perona's fortnight. Remember how crippling gloom was? You basically had to take 3 attacks from her before you could net any serious damage to her. Chopper eliminates that! And silence reducers are very rare, so new units (especially farmable ones) are always welcome to the team.


Usopp is this fortnights hidden boss, meaning he won't appear every run. His RCV is pretty high which is typical of PSY units, but his HP and ATK are on the lower side. His special on the other hand is AWESOME.

He is outclassed by his other impact dial form which gives a 1.75x boost to PSY for a turn, but this usopp will work wonders until you get your hands on the impact form.
(Keksit: "I guarantee you will see him in every global PSY team, that doesn't have Impact Diale Usopp")

Notable Skillbooks obtainable:

Skillbooks	Notes	Chapter	Chance (Expert)	CD
	Whitebeard I shouldn't even have to explain why this beast should be maxed! Holding arguably the best special (with Mihawk) in the game, and pair this with his completely over powered captain ability, putting the time into maxing this special seems like a no brainer !	Any	low	17
	Luffy Gear 3rd Renowned as one of the best captains in the game, it should be no surprise that his books are important. An AOE (Area of effect) special is always good to have in a team, especially in those situations where every enemy has a 1 turn cool down.	Any	low	20
	Crocodile (Slasher) A special that manipulates crocodiles orb to his own color, randomizes other orbs, AND deals AOE damage!? Sign me up! This special maxes at 18 turns which is way more practical than the 23 turns it started at. This puts his amazing special into reach for most islands and stages. Very resourceful, high utility, and very flexible with other special combinations. Definitely a book worth reading!	Any	low	18
	Trafalgar Law Any orb manipulator is worth maxing in my opinion. And orb manipulator that has a combo with another to creat a full set of matching orbs? Now that's mandatory! Incredible damage potential for burst teams makes this special a must	Any	low	10
	Ashura Zoro The F2P dex captain. Even though his special isn't the greatest, seeing how he is one of the better and more used dex captains, it wouldn't be a bad idea to max his special. It can't be bad to feed some skillbooks into him.	Any	mid	20

Recommendation / Suggestions for Teams (30-Stamina)

Remember: 1.5x ATK from Ship is a must have

Team	Notes
	Slasher Team (All characters Lv.~60 or higher) (free to play) Your Mihawk is exchangable with a Crocodile Slasher too : ) You will want to tank some hits from franky and luffy at the end and also survive the captain silence. Usopp special on Franky, because Luffy will put a 3 turn debuff protector on himself ! Chopper can reduce the silence by 3 turns so you have enough time to slash Luffy. You can replace chopper with another good ATK slasher if you feel confident and won't need the silence reduce Example: Crocodile (Slasher) Mr.1 will be extremely helpful to finish off luffy in the end by giving 1.25x ATK to slasher
	Striker Team (All characters Lv.~60 or higher) (rare recruits) Very stable team! Use GP Usopp and Smoker when you need to defend yourself. Kid has a pretty low cooldown for his special to take down Luffy in the end. Combine with Kakus special and you will win easily
	Fighter Team (All characters Lv.~70 or higher) (rare recruits) Special team. Relies on Special abilities a lot. Hogback + Luffy special are not stackable! (crew not tested)

 All the 6 Star Gods can beat this Fortnight and won't be featured here
(At the moment)

Keksit's Low Level Striker Test Team:
(Very Risky!!!! I survived with 200 HP)

Useful Units:
