So I unlocked sbb on my 6* Hogar and now he won't fire his regular bb in the arena. Insists on charging the sbb.
Is there a way to turn off the sbb just for arena? He is a pretty good 2 turn bb dude, but his sbb takes too long.
Plus I like saying "Get em, Hogar!"

my Shera is maxed sbb and always fires her bb as soon as its ready. so maybe try using him in a different slot?
theres benefits to having a unit in a certain slot on your team and theres different arena AI types. i would start my research there.

There's nothing stopping a new player from getting mech gods as soon as they have enough stamina to run the dungeons though. There has to be at least one goon with a fully imped anima feeva (or Selene). Tazer with Leomurg might work too since he should fully heal every round while doing his auto-fill SBB nuking.

Sadly, my Selena isn't fully imped up yet, and she's a Breaker instead of Anima.

Also, I have 7 Burst Frogs sitting in my inventory, and Shida is sitting at 2/10, refusing to get that third level from any of the fodder I'm throwing at him. It's like he knoooows. :argh:

Light and Dark Totems both have MUCH better chances of showing up in the Ruins of Miracles, but it's not 100%; if anything it's closer to like 30% or 40%.

Thanks this worked like a charm. I used double Feeva leads though. Not sure if it was better or not. I ended up throwing that Edea sphere on Shera and never lost him until the end. Lost the first team with only Lugina and Zelnite left. Had 3 fujin's left over to power up my 2nd team and finish it. I put a fujin on Shera and Feeva to start the trial but targeted Farnvil. Never needed another fujin until the end.

The strategy from what I understand, is to have Selena SBB every other turn and normal attack otherwise (for BC gen and the fact that her basic attack hits about as hard if not slightly harder than her BB). Between Lexida's heal and the heal from her SBB, any totem sans the thunder totem SHOULD NOT be able to damage her through it. Ideally, you only need to have her alive at the end during the Mech God battle, but bring a leader either with immunity or HP (or both if possible! WHATUP KANON) just to help. My Selena should have about 13-14k health with her LS and 20% bonus ES.

Bb won't be an issue since there will always be more than one enemy. I'd take a single target damager or two because there is almost no chance of clearing lugina while Lucca zelnite and altri are alive

My only leveled up single target BB spammer is Lilith. If I need to do single target hits on Lugina I'll have Claire just attack him or Darvanshell BB instead of SBB I guess. If I want to get my 4* Arus maxxed out I'd have to wait another week for materials.

The team you listed was fine. Not really a unit you can replace there. Maybe Fiora because you are almost mono fire, but Rickel will be an issue then.

Edit: 7* SBS units will be interesting. Hopefully Zedus and Andaria become more useful.

I'm trying that 7* selena solos mecha gods thing. It's working so far. She lives with ~3k hp after the enemy attacks and then heals up to full each turn from regen/heart drops. Assuming the enemy doesn't get a run of lucky crits and I get no heart drops for a few turns in a row it should work eventually.

NOTE: eventually in this case means like an hour because holy poo poo this is going to take awhile.

Eh I still use my (anime, fully imped) Zelnite a fair amount since I don't have Feeva. Though Claire gives a nice BC drop rate boost and Colt gives BB regen so Zelnite's mainly for drop farming now and maybe HC creation.

There, evolved Colt into his 7* form, maxed out his BB and SBB, he's eaten all of my stat frogs so far but I don't know how many it takes to cap but I now have a real leader for friends to use. Huzzah.

E: so now I should probably start thinking about spheres while I level up all my other squad members as well.

Right now he's wearing some sphere I got from from frontier hunter and another that I made myself that boosts BB gauge fill rate.

What are some good spheres to use and how do I go about getting them?

Grand Gaia Quests has 6 spheres as a bonus for finishing each set of dungeons. All of them are extremely useful, but if I had to pick one to start with it'd be Lance's dungeon for Drevas - 30% Def/HP and status immunity, extremely useful sphere especially for a mitigator or status nuller. Urias (Atro) is also quite nice, 30% Atk/Def and 1.4x BC fill rate (so each BC is worth 1.4). Lance is probably the easiest dungeon beat but they're all pretty hard. 7* friend, a mitigator and reliable healing or HC generation will help immensely.

You'll get sacred jewels, medulla gems and legwand gems from Frontier Hunter. Arena will supply you with spheres almost every rank-up. Sol Creators can be crafted and are very useful, boosts bc drop rate by 15%. This is a guide on what materials you'll need to make them.

Green Menace down with a single team :toot:

Claire - Malice/Ishir's
Darvanshel - Dandelga/Demon Core
Fiora - Legwand/Sol Creator
Ultor - Legwand
Rigness - Draevas/Magic Ore

Buddy Feeva with Demon Core and Malice, fully imped too.

Burned all my items and went in to Lugina's transformation with Zelban and Rickel still alive because I was AOEing a bunch. Forgot to idol against Lugina's first 100k hit so Ultor died, but I managed to AOE him hard enough to make his 2nd and 3rd 100k hits come in the same round and against Ultor with an angel idol. Forgot to Idol buff him later on when he summoned Zelnite and Ultor died again, then Ultor died a 3rd time to a random single target attack that did a shitload of damage. Claire also killed by him deciding to break out some 4-5 hit attack that was doing thousands of damage per hit to her. With over 4k defense and Darvanshell's buffs. :psyduck:

Last idol was used on Darvanshell for his 10% AOE, Rigness and Fiora guarded, Feeva barely survived due to my last cure. Now to figure out who to give the sphere to. I'm thinking of dropping the Geldnite Axe off Colt and having him use Blighted/Heresy for the time being. Geldnite's probably better though as long as it's and extra 100% crit damage. Apparently it's only 50% more crit in Japan which means if we don't have that nerf we will sooner or later.

I have one sphere I got from frontier hunter called the sacred jewel. I barely barely beat the third FH phase called I think the 'end' phase? I don't know where legwand and virtue stone are but I might go take a second look to see if I'm close to either of them.

I failed the third level of the easter dungeon when I had it set to auto-battle so I didn't do anymore of that and now there is only 3-4 hours left in the event so I won't be able to gather the materials anyway.

Eh, went to bed around 600 rank on FH, woke up at like 1200. Same thing every time. I dunno what happens in the last hour or two but I always lose a rank. Maybe I'll get lucky with the adjustment.

E: Currently trying Blighted Seal out on Kanon, since mine is a guardian anyway. Not sure about it yet but it pushes his atk to 4200. I think the sphere is only going to work for tougher content combined with Heresy Orb though.

People like to gem during the last few hours or so. I missed a few orbs due to being on the east coast when FH opened up and getting the "auto win" glitch. So i used 2 gems for 6 extra orbs. My rank went from 4.5k to 2.9k with 15 minutes left to the end. After 2:00am PST i was at 3.1k. Last FH I open moved up about 60 spots after they banned the cheaters. Jumping up 200ish spots is very doubtful for you imo.

Ended this FH at rank 2600, my best yet. First time ever getting +4. Thought about trying for +5, but too much effort required and didn't want to use my gems. Now back to run Changing the World over and over again while I get Claire and Colt's SBBs.

The amount of effort involved is why I hardly run FH after getting the Legwand out of Terminus and so I'm forever doomed to never get more than +2 rank during FH.

Maybe I'm dumb but I have more fun managing my units/squads than I do doing the actual content so most of my "gameplay" is auto-battles (though I've not finished the main quest yet).

Go in to FH End with your Colt as a leader and someone else'se Colt like mine. Just take the atk set and buff colt + 2 hard hitters on round 1 with your fujins and then use an atk pot every round. As long as you get a run with a decent number of enemies per wave you should get a high enough score for the Medulla and maybe the sphere frog.

I forget if you're the one with a Champion Axe on their Colt but +crit rate spheres are useless for him because at BB10/SBB10 his crit buff puts you at the cap.
