I think it's RC2 that gives you a sphere frog after clearing it. RC3 gives you Noah which I haven't even bothered to level. I really just do it for the slot machine coins at this point. Slot machine is awesome imo.

I'm glad Raids gives some sort of rewards later. RC1 is just boring and I can see people just not raiding at all if they don't know what they can get later on because it's so dull.

E: Would SBB2 Priscilla be worth taking to Cardes trial? I'd also like to know which two friend leaders would be worth bringing to Cardes trial? I don't think I have the stats and imps to one squad it.

In arena with a 6* zelnite for a leader I typically only have 1 person with full BB after the first round, most of the time the enemy has something similar, then I fill up everybody on round 2 and then use some BB on round 3 to win.

I have less than 10 losses so far but thats because I just have bigger dudes than my opponents, sometimes they'll fill their BB on their very first turn and if I don't get lucky somehow I can easily lose.

How do people get full BB after a single turn?

Fed my remaining imps to Kanon as well as one of those super imps, and bought another imp key for the week. Still have a lot of units to sell for points. :v:

Kanon's hit the 440 defense cap but still needs a handful of HP imps and maybe a dozen atk/rec ones to be capped out.

I get 4-5 SBB on round two with this team:
6* Len - Hallowed Skull + Sol Creator This guy alone is a 100 BC drop check on his normal attack
7* Colt - Blighted Seal + Heresy Orb, max imped
7* Claire - Malice Jewel + Ihsir's Guise, max imped
7* Selene - Lexida + Paskuan Weapon Enhancer
6* Elza - Legwand Gem + Sol Creator, Team Leader

I can get anywhere from 1-4 SBB on turn 2 with it when starting with empty BB gauges too in large part thanks to Len's BC generation being so insane. :getin:

e: If you have a leader like Feeva, Elza, or Uda their 50% BB fill rate is better than Zelnite's drop rate buff; especially if you can give +BC drop items to your team. Sol Creators are great but even stuff like Tech Gizmos can make a big difference. Make sure Zelnite's the first person on your team to act though. That way if he uses his BB he fills everyone else's gauge and can enable BB or SBB uses that weren't up otherwise.

Once you have a 7* Selene and Lexida put her on your arena team because she gets an Angel Idol buff as part of her extra skill, so if the other team nukes the hell out of you she could live with 1hp and maybe BB/SBB them the next turn for a win.

What's your current arena team and their spheres?

Agent355
Jul 26, 2011


Arena team is 6* zelnite lead, 6* kuhla, 7* colt, 6* Semira, 5* Ultor

Colt has 2 spheres, one of which is some good one, but every other sphere I have is some low level pile of garbage, I haven't really looked into finding good spheres, so they're probably something like the 10/15% to atk/def/hp/rec orbs that I got as level up rewards for the event. I could check exactly what they're wearing but I'm currently autobattling through story quests :downs:

I could use some help (read: someone's Selena to carry me) through the mech gods so I can get my first 7*. Right now I usually run Ultor or Rosetta, occasionally Ivris or Zergel.

On that note, should I 7* Tazer or Kira? Trending towards Tazer since I'm used to spark teams, but I just got Kira and am not sure what to do with him leading. (I think the only thing I have that directly synergizes is Luther.)

Kira's a better leader than Tazer because he'll make you explode poo poo due to having a 60% crit buff on his BB and SBB which ensures frequent use of his leader skill's crit damage boost. You'll also be able to use him with other Kira and Colt leaders to ensure 1 turn obliteration of most things as well as never have to worry about if you'll get enough points clearing non-Terminus FH levels.

The better easier to craft spheres are the +BC drop rate ones, tech gizmo 2s are not too hard to make if you can't make sol creators (and are also required to make Sol Creators, so start investing), but you do need some honor mats, so check what those are and start putting those into your friend gift want list. You'll have to make the lower class of +BC items to make gizmos so it is a process that can take time, and you will want to run quests with Zelnite to start hoping for Riff feathers for sol creators, or alternatively run the top level of the Hostile Relics vortex when that's open since you get 1-2 from it each time.

I usually have 3-5 BBs available on after turn 1, but i also make use of an Eva leader for her on hit BB boost so the other team can help me out with that. All I usually need is my Feeva up to BB at the point i'm in, and she'll usually wipe the other team out with her use.

Feeva should be a much better arena leader than Eva unless your team's BC drop check total is terribly low, which should be pretty much impossible these days unless you're using units like Eze.

Any team with BC drop spheres on a couple units, and a 50% BB gauge leader, should be able to get 5 BB and possibly some SBB uses for round 2 regularly. If I drop Len for another unit I still have 5 BB uses but keeping Len, even with his STSBB unlocked unfortunately, is just better because if Claire or Colt fire their SBB it's pretty much over. Very few things would survive Claire's SBB and I don't think 7 star units can survive Colt's SBB because he'll almost certainly crit and with a blighted seal equipped he hits ungodly hard.

e: endlessly farming metal mimics due to half stam. Already got 5 of them and little over 100 stamina spent. Probably going to try to get close to a dozen because I have a lot of stuff I want to evolve over the next few days/weeks. Currently working up Ciara and anima-type Elimo to replace the guardian one. Going to work up a guardian Tree to replace my breaker one. Might replace Lord-type Oulu with an anima one as well.

The arena picture has been messed up for me since before the achievement system got rolled out. Whenever it was that they started stocking the elemental stones in the BP shop was about the time that the Arena pictue borked for me. Neither flushing my cache nor reinstalling the game fresh have fixed it.

And within the past two or three days, the game's been jittering on normal stages, locking up for a second or two whenever someone uses a BB/SBB. It's not gamebreaking, but it makes it really goddamn hard to properly time sparks.

So basically Arena is hosed and not worth bothering right now? Shame. It was like gambling but more pretty and less likely to require counsiling. At least I can easily autobattle the final stages.

Do you guys recommend the Mega Metal Parades? The five keys seems expensive but the chance for five crystal units a run is very tempting.

It's not hosed, just has graphical glitches. Don't know why your team started sucking all of a sudden. :shrug:

Mega Metal Parades are a pretty even cut of Gods and Crystals, give you 7000 EXP for 60 EN (compared to 3000/40 EN or 1000/15 EN), and with the half-energy vortex there's no reason not to save up those five keys.

Arena's fine but I'm not sure how good your team is. I don't normally see those units in the arena. If their drop check isn't great (I know Kuda's is 30, which is really good) then it's just some bad luck you're having. My team seems to be working correctly.

It's actually a pretty safe bet that an evolution from 5* to 6* will require at least one elemental pot (or bulb, if it's a global-exclusive unit) and one metal mimic. The only exceptions are super-old units which take Idols and Dragon Mimics.

I've been getting back into BF over the last few weeks after a fairly healthy amount of time off - I managed to pull a Feeva using free gems that helped spurn the decision to come back, and now I'm burning through all the older content I had a bitch of a time doing before (trials, GGC, etc.).

I had a list of my units in the last thread, and will post them in this thread too because I'm a spergy goonygoon who wants an easily accessable and linkable list of all his anime nomouth people and that one site everyone's using is stupid. Edit: Site is no longer stupid: http://dewey.zapto.org/units/249/

I would like some advice, if anyone would be willing - Now that I've plowed through most of the GGC (save the new Seifa/Kikuri levels), where would be some good places to put my new spheres? I threw Lafdranya on Feeva, Lexidia on Selena, Dandelga on Darvanshel, Drevas on Rowgen, and the Batootha on my frogged Deemo because lol, but if there are any better arrangements of spheres/units anyone could point me toward I would be glad for any advice at all. As mentioned above I've been away from BF for quite a while and have just been getting back into it over the last few weeks, so I'm a bit behind on all the latest information.

Also, did they actually unfuck Tridon recently? He was nerfed very shortly after I fed him his last imp (which helped in my decision to put the game down for a while), and it'd be cool if he was of good use again.

Elimo's BB is heal + status removal + 50% dmg reduction. SBB is Heal + damage reduction + 140% defense. UBB is 3 turns of 75% dmg reductio, regen, BB regen, and status block.

I currently have a lvl 100 guardian type and I'm working on an anima type to take over for her because it's not like I have any other use for all my metal keys and with nearly 180 stamina I can get a lot of XP out of the current 1/2 stam vortex.
