So in anticipation of Doomsday Eddie coming out I thought about making this to talk about the idea of saving your souls for events that feature new characters. A while ago someone finally proved the debate of when souls are decided.
4765


Sooo..... Take this with a grain of salt because RNG is still a huge factor, now would be a great time to sacrifice for lots and lots of GA souls and don't activate any of them until Doomsday Eddie is released. I have 2 stacks of 99 and a third stack of about 70 just for him since he's most likely going to be released as a 5* Gunner.

It's not a guarantee to get him but it's better than nothing and it's a pretty big shot. If you decide to do this just remember to NOT use any of them until you 100% know that he can be drawn from them. So the day he comes out, go into fragments and look at the GA soul characters to see if he's in there. If he is then go ahead and use them all up.

If you use your souls before he's out, even if you restart the game and get those souls back, the characters will already be decided for the souls so I highly stress that you don't open them until he's out.

That's my plan. Just hoping it will be a Gunner...

Other questions?

What is going to be the method? All at once? 10 at a time or 1 at a time?

I would put them in all at once just to be faster, I assume Doomsday will be a Gunner since he just looks so much like one.

Same plan here. i’ve “only” saved 80 souls. had a stack of 99+some, but needed to finish a vortex...
I think the best, logical way would be opening 1 at a time,until you get him, but i’m lazy and as someone mentioned “the souls seem to be more generous when opened in stacks”, which is also my experience, so i will go 10 at a time and since i don’t need other G/A chars i will save the rest for future events/releases.

129 G/A souls, no Doomsday.

Update: After another Tier 6 sac and vortex fill, 15 more G/A souls; Doomsday acquired!

I got him using a little over 100 souls. The system works!

I guess now we know souls are determined on the book not when aquired.

Correct, the character is determined when the soul is tossed into the BOS.

Update:
I have pushed through some more Tier6 sacrifices, turned the vortex around again, sacrificed another alchemist... brought my total of opened souls to around 150 (plus roughly 10 legendaries).... no DdE!
Once i had a stack of 25 souls just flashing blue eyes on me :/

That's not technically true. If you pull a soul and see what character it drops, then force close the game and try again, you'll get the same character. You can try multiple times and verify it.

So how can you pull the new character from those souls? I thinkwe can assume this: When you get a soul, the die is rolled and the number associated with that soul is kept. When you drop the soul in the book, the game looks up what character corresponds with that roll number. When new characters are added, this correspondence is changed. That's the best way to describe that behaviour.

Just dropped 366 Gunner/Assassin souls and pulled 2 Navigators and 1 each of every other 4 or 5 star Eddie except for Doomsday. Oh! Well, that's pretty much exactly what I expected.

That's some crazy BS right there...

That's some crazy BS right there... It's typical though, I guess I should have took part in the Sacrifice party. Maybe I could have gotten him if I would have had a thousand souls. Who knows, I might get him from my 7 Napalm souls later this week.

I dropped 3 GA rare souls that I pulled from a Level V sacrifice I did yesterday, and out of those I got Doomsday.

Before that I dropped a Legendary soul (from same sacrifice) and 10 Napalm souls, all of which got me the remaining chars to get a level V sacrifice in the first place (I had 2x 4* and 1x 5* chars to sacrifice already).
