Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
One of the community pulls was actually V1 Katakuri. This would technically be nice but I already rainbowed mine and he doesnt have a support ability… ^^
Lets see what happens with the natural stamina problem. I might gem once if I dont run out of Carrot friends who I need against Perospero. But its quite grindy...
I did go all-in on part 2. While my legend quota was really nice, all of them were dupes and oberall I only got 2 new Germas. So that was definitely a bad anniversary Sugo for me.
I managed to pick up the other two Germa siblings on Part 3 which leaves me lacking only Sanji/Judge himthemselfves. I guess I can always use 6+ Judge and a Sanji/Judge friend or even a regular 6* Judge.
The Red Community pull was V3 Sabo which is one of those characters that I see occasionally in teams but don't really hear much about.

Just a reminder that, so long as you have box space to give, you can just keep hitting retry and use the same Friend Captain over and over again.
I know but it wont have sockets/LB/CC. Not sure if my team works with a weak Carrot. ^^

Used the CYO legend mail to rainbow my Enel since I aöready have all the units that are available.

What are you using?
I've been using Double Carrot, TM Nami, Halloween Sugar, TM Law, and 6+ Aokiji on Perospero. The last is just a QCK beatstick that gets Carrot's double boost.
V1 Katakuri with a Carrot Friend Captain should work with that setup; it'd do less damage because Sugar and Law but it usually doesn't take all six characters to finish off Perospero with Double Carrot.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I picked Corazon since he's a bit closer to rainbowing than Ener and has that wonderful support ability besides.
For Perospero I was using Carrot with Snakeman and TM Law+Nami, Shankshawk and one more I cant remember.
Anyway, now its BM again and she is super easy with Jumanji friend, Snakeman, the 3 new male power rangers and Jinbe.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
50x30 stamina pull was another V1 Judge for me. 39x20 stamina to go.
Global is getting 6+ Shirahoshi next week.
got a katakuri v1 for the 50x the 20 sta !!!! a new legend!!! wow, second one this month, along with shiki from the ray shop ticket.
my 5 multis on the sugo didn't gave me any new legends
Another Corazon for the 20 stamina pull so he's max everything now.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Is there a single Ultimate Katakuri team that doesn't use Double Sanji/Judge, Snakeman, or V2 Whitebeard?
I can't use 6+ Judge with a Sanji/Judge FC since I can't stall out the paralysis but using the FC special there means that he won't be back up in time to use on the last level.
This is easily some of the worst content since Neo Whitebeard for locking you into needing an extremely limited range of characters.
Hmmm I would have to clear 20 stamina 19 more times for the legend but Im burned out. Its not hard, just annoying. ^^'
Gonna be a dupe anyways..
Oh wow I didnt realize yesterday that there was one more day of this. So I could do the 19 runs after all. Still, I was right: dupe V1 Hancock. ^^
Germa counterattack wasn't too bad for me I guess, got Yonji, Reiju and Niji (twice) out of 4 Multis + free pulls. But more important: finally got Corazon 6+ and Eneru 6+… (and some IMO useless legends like PSY Shanks and Sengoku, DEX Jinbe); also usefull stuff like Valantine Shira (i would have need this unit for little big mom though...) and PSY Violet (i constantly run out of beli).
Colo Katakuri seems also to be quite usefull... didn't have any delayer that ignores immunity so far.
So next TM will be Smoothie/Oven?! Sounds fun...
Lulz…
I finished Vergo and the several summer missions bringing me to 30 gems. I was gonna get the Megalo ship when I saw the red Tavern button still there. Did one discounted multi and got Jumanji.
Congrats, that’s great 
Which character with cost <20 can’t be blown away?!
Edit: Also did a last pull and got v2 Ichiji (so only Jumanji^^ is missing) + the unit I wanted soooo bad since I started playing: Luuucy! What a nice day…
Congrats on Lucy!
Thanks for that. The funny / annoying thing is: I now have -all- Judges and -all- Germa boys in -all- their versions. But for the life of me, I have never pulled a single Reiju… ^^'
You dont need to worry about characters who cant be blown away (although limit broken raid Usopp is an option). Just kill the Int/Psy ghosts with long health bars and the Str/Dex/Qck ghosts with short health bars. Leave everything else alive. You will win.
Hmm, Im off to Greece for holidays tomorrow, but I will have to play the next TM quite a lot if it is during that time because I am completely out of LB potions.
Oh, thanks^^ I should have listened properly to our beloved Ghost Princess…
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
I guess my game is rigged... spent something like 500-600 Cola to get Moby Dick from 9th to 10th grade, and still nothing happened. What’s wrong with this RNG?! At least we got this ghost thing going on, 5 stamina / 2min-runs for 8 Cola aren’t too bad, although annoying for sure. Maybe I will focus on the crows with my new Lucy unit and forget about Moby for the time being...
Moving the guaranteed booster to the third multi is definitely a dick move especially since they've devalued TM Rare Recruits by making them a one and done deal for the most part.
Plus Pound and Jinbe as the TM boosters seems like a bad time to do this with on Bandai's part since neither seems to have much value beyond this TM. Unlike, say, Halloween Perona who had a pretty unique special.
Unless the Germa are going to be really low boosters compared to the last few new batches (as in 1.1x rather than the usual 1.35x), it's hard to see what Bandai is thinking here.
Well I guess I won't pull on TM this time.
I did one discounted multi on part 1 for the summer girls and I got super lucky because I got my most wanted swimsuit Perona (and Boa)
The FN swimsuit girls are not so hard but the droprates are not good this time. I am using a Buggy team for Reiju and didnt't focus much on Conis yet.
So is Neo Whitebeard just not guaranteed with Neo Ivankov or did Bandai screw up? He didn't show up after I cleared the Shooter version.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Just not guaranteed then; he showed up after another run, which is another stupid move by Bandai.
39k Raypoints gave me LRR Byrrndi World (is he useful?) and Tsuru, Jabra and Hotori/Kotori. Definitely not worth it.
Blah, 89k RP for 5900 RP and LRR Jinbe. Oh well.
@ntk:
39k Raypoints gave me LRR Byrrndi World (is he useful?)
He’s quite nice to have since he can completely clear Atk down. With more recentish stuff I remember him being great for the Capone clash and one of the early kizuna variations.
Damn Im becoming a fan of running the summer girls with Neptune and friend Jack on double stamina. 120k exp is quite a lot.
Also, my Elizabello is finally maxed with his last LB abiöity reducing his CD to max at the start of a quest. By the time you reach an FN boss he already puts out 600k or more damage which is quite useful. Paired with Legend Shiki or TM Enel you can easily clear anything just with specials thanks to the nuke attacks. ^^
Yeah, it’s crazy. I’m finally finished maxing Colo Kinemon after 12 or 13 100 STA runs but am struggling with Ambush Sengoku, so I really can need this levelling up once in while.
For the TM, I'm going to try teams of:
Bavarois
Double Raid Judge
Raid Cracker/Neo Vergo
Kaido/Raid Franky
Just a boosted team that I'll tweak as time goes by.
Mont D'Or
Double TM Ace
V2 Niji/Colo Tamago
V2 Reiju/Raid Kizaru
Unevolved dupe Reiju and Niji are there for mastery points and TM boosters.
Galette
Whoever/Colo Smoothie
Colo Neptune/Swimsuit Reiju
Colo Katakuri/Ambush Cavendish
When I finish maxing Cabbage's mastery points, I'll switch him out. I wish I had a dupe Yonji to help with the Despair reduction; I'd put Neptune in as Captain if I did.
Perospero
Double Carrot or Cracker/Carrot
TM Nami/Gastino
V3 Sabo/TM Robin
Aka Carrot and four warm bodies.
Big Mom/Oven & Smoothie
FC Sandge/Young Linlin
5+ V2 Germa squad
Highest multiplier I can get right now with an effective team. If I had dupes of all four kids, I'd use V2 Sanji as a Captain here and used the 5+ in the other teams.
Complicating things since 2009.

Thanks for your teams, I will use them as inspiration since Im on holidays atm and I cant spend too much time on teambuilding.
Do you mind quoting your post and just putting the units which are essential to each boss in bold print?
Do you think double Jumanji, Invasion Linlin and the 3 male power rangers work against BM and S/O then?
Nobody on the first team is really necessary.
.
Mont D'Or
Double TM Ace
V2 Niji/Colo Tamago
V2 Reiju/Raid Kizaru
Kizaru fixes rewind, Ace deals with Block Orbs, and Tamago reduces the damage Mont D'Or does when you finish him.
Galette
Whoever/Colo Smoothie
Colo Neptune/Swimsuit Reiju
Colo Katakuri/Ambush Cavendish
Neptune and sockets will get the despair on Stage 6; Reiju is there to see if using her special on Stage 6 blocks the bad orbs debuff on Galette.
Perospero
Double Carrot or Cracker/Carrot
TM Nami/Gastino
V3 Sabo/TM Robin
Perospero has a hit barrier and I think some effect Nami takes care of. Neo Luffy would remove the barrier.
Linlin also wouldn't be optimal with that team since you won't have a INT character for Judge. She'd work for Sanji so long as you don't switch though.
Summer Reiju's special does indeed block Galette's badly matching orbs effect.
Also Nami is better used on Bavarois.
I did most of your teams and tweaked them now with a lesrning by doing approach.
My BM team is double Jumanji, 3 male power rangers and raid Lucci for stage 6.
My Smoven team is the same except with LinLin instead of Lucci. You can still use Jumanjis special then.
The mini bosses seem rather easy though, so not much of a problem here. Thanks for your help!
Yeah, they're definitely less of a pain to deal with than the few TM minibosses.
I'm glad they lowered the difficulty of the TM bosses in Japan, but no way the TM reward Sanji is worth grinding so much. I just don't see a unit with a special that does so many things being used often when most new content includes nasty counters.
To the disliking of my girlfriend I grinded hard once we returned from holidays. My pulls were: TS Sanji, V1 Trebol, Legend Nami, Legend Franky, V1 Sabo. All dupes. 
I find this TM quite fun which surprised me.
Hannyabal
Momonga
V1 Law
Marco
Hody
I didn't have a dupe Hody so there's that. V1+ is already rainbowed and I have a dupe so he's just points. Marco would be in the same boat but I'll hang onto him long enough to see if his 6+ is a straight upgrade like Shirahoshi or some weird sidegrade.
bastille
akainu v1 (wich is NEW, and yes was a red from a gold ticket)
jimbei v1
log luffy
blackbeard.
would gladly take a marco since I still don't have him
Im super addicted today because Ive got the day off and nothing to do and nobody is here to do stuff with. Also theres the double pirate experience on the summer girls meaning I always alternate between TM and summer girls with friend Jacks and the retry button. This has led to me gaining like 15 Plvls during this TM already and going for an absurdranking. Currently Im around rand 620 sitting on almost 24m points. Quite a lot considering I didnt pull for the new batch. Its all still going very smoothly on nav level 48 now. Super easy stuff. ^^
Lets see how much more I can do. I wouldnt mind some lucking out like dropping down to 777 while sleeping.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Okay Im stopping now to go to bed. almost 31m points and its impossible to crack the top 500. Wonder how far I will drop.
Pulled TS Nami and can finally build a team to farm Young Lin Lin (a bit late though:)
New Legend has been Blackbeard (sounds fun to build a team around him but I really don’t dig his fighting animation).
There's a pretty good chance that Blackbeard will get a 6+ soon and while his animation may be weird, you'll find it's also super forgiving when it comes to hitting a perfect as well. His teams are also really tanky as well, especially with his Raft or the Germa ship.
The real problem is that bug where he'll attack somebody already blasted offscreen instead of the next target in line.
Thanks for this informations
Rewards are out. Got a new Ray V2, very convenient for a Lucy Team I guess. Again I don't know how much you will need him for the newer content though.
I got another dupe but it was Robin who I didn't already have an extra of.
I went 2/7 on RCV Bind on Ener; not really sure if I want to use those remaining two on him right to try for the last level or wait until I get more.
Got a dupe V2 Fuji for my effort… 12 gems is nice though
got a dupe sengoku from the red ticket rewartd…. I could see he giving me the middle finger, but when I looked again his fist was closed!
I got Legend Brook from one of my TM rewards which is new for me. The other two were v1 Law and Judge .
From the ranking rewards I got another dupe v2 Doffy.
All in all this TM was very good. I only played two days but having the full Germa V2 batch made it very easy to get points using a Cracker friend.
My tablets went quite nicely I think. I rainbowed Big Mom and Snakeman now. Warco is missing just one slot bind tablet to rainbowing him.
Its always more of a problem now to find a legend that can use a certain tablet and hasnt maxed that ability yet. For example I have no idea of what to do with "reduces own special charge time" tablrts since my Corazon has this ability maxed already… ^^
Elizabello and Corazon are the priority characters for those tablets; looking at the character database, most of the rest are pretty much Support Unit fodder or very niche units. Whole Cake Chopper and V1 Violet seem like the ones that would likely get used the most after Elizabello and Corazon.
It's a Limit Break that doesn't really get used that much anymore and most of the more recent characters that actually do have it are TM or raid characters so you don't even need tablets.
Actually got a new Shiki from the reward pulls, and had 100% success on crit tablets but trash for the rest(think I’m like 0/30 on RCV bind now). Went super easy on the GBL TM since the JP one was so extra this time for that Sanji.. did pick up some nice things though like Sabo/Koala and finally pulled V1 BM.

Yeah.. those ones are nearly useless unfortunately until we get some new units or content with very specific restrictions and tight team making.
Yes got Judge and Sanji 
Basically just bring w/e utility you need for the content at hand; can sometimes be a little tricky to build around as captain since you need one of every color and all PH - but at least he brings his own orb/atk boost.
He can be a pretty great Kata sub, yeah. Tbh on JP I think I use him as a Kata/Snakeman/Warco sub more often than a captain.
