I'd say Exdeath, Terra, Krile, and then a pick of Sabin/Shantotto/Vivi. Sabin isn't the best character but your team is very mage-heavy, and he's the best melee unit you have unless you want to train up Lasswell.

i find it kind of odd how they don't really incentivize having lots of high tier characters. each one that you would actually want the loyalty reward for will take at least a month of grinding. grinding you can't cut short with premium currency, no less. so, exactly what reason is there to buy lapis other than crippling ocd?

You can use Lapis to top off your energy, which does allow you to run more dungeons for TM gains or whatever else you want.

I'm hoping to 5* my Exdeath soon, and then he'll need a bunch of levels obviously.

If I bring him to Adv Exp Vortex alone (plus friend) will he gain more exp than he would in a full party? Basically does the level give X amount of exp and then it gets split up, or does it give X exp to every combatant regardless of how many there are?

Yes if you run only him with a strong friend he will receive the 30k experience all to himself

You can macro the gently caress out of premium characters. Takes about 7-10 days when you aren't playing.

i did some research, do not spend your starquartz if you have an exdeath. there will be an update that adds a 50 quartz pair of earrings that give a passive +20% mag bonus

Whole 4 star team is complete, 5 star'ing ExDeath should happen in the next 2 days I hope. Need 6 Sacred Crystals, but should have those in the next hour or 3.
That and max level 60. If I get the bits I'll switch to XP dungeon tonight and grind thanks to Goon friends4ever

Any of the 3 new characters tomorrow worth dropping lapis/tickets on trying to get if you got Exdeath + Vaan?

I wish I knew this before spending my Quartz but I think that's a couple islands away. hopefully I'll have enough by then.

The whole save up 5k lapis and spend the rest as you need for opening more slots are energy thing

If you won't have anyone who can cast Cura for a while, the staff is a godsend. Fina doesn't learn it till at least four stars.

The details button lets you look at what's in it, and you can tap the equipment to see its stats. But I'll save you the time, it's a whole pile of bullshit.

It shows you what's in it if you click View Details or whatever. But both of the equipment bundles are absolute trash.

I use Nox+AHK to run the Earth Shrine Exit every 4.75 minutes, so I sloooowly regenerate energy during the night. It also automatically clicks off any popups or quest completions that appear.

Not only does it slowly grind TM, you will wind up with a lot of half-decent materials and a fuckload of Friend Points, too!
