Anyone still on the ball about multiple exdeaths; 4x meteor is really REALLY drat strong.

I just don't know how to get that many 6* awakening mats. gently caress I have a Refia, Exdeath and Bartz to awaken already but no mats. The Karma event was garbage so I guess I am stuck waiting until the next moogle event.

Then again I beat the wind shrine and nothing opened up in the story. How do I get to Olderian and does it make it any easier to get 6* mats?

Did one more 1/2 pull because I'm dumb, got another gold crystal and Exdeath #4. Someday, I will 9x meteor (or 10x whenever I get around to farming my dualcast TM(s)) the arena and life will be good. Though by then we'll probably have shantotto's 5* form and her twister spam is just worlds better than meteor due to the elemental chaining, so I'll probably just get my 3rd Exdeath leveled and leave it at Exdeath/Exdeath/Exdeath/Rydia/Cecil.

ELT in the big bridge wasn't too bad with CoD/Agrias/Exdeath/Lenna/Cecil and the 730ish atk Luneth murderbuddy I have. I didn't get the no deaths reward because somehow Exdeath got killed in the first Gilgamesh fight. :(

Being able to one-round even whale teams with meteor spam is pretty fun. Only downside is I rarely see an opponent with 1.10 or better ratio so my medal gain isn't nearly as good as it could/should be. :sigh:

:getin:

I've never had a Refia survive my meteors (I chain thundaga and stonra in the middle to ensure the link doesn't break) considering the last meteor in the chain usually hits for about 1500 damage on most people. Sometimes a Cecil will if the chain is bad but he's nearly dead at that point and a single meteor will easily finish him off.

If we're lucky we'll get it at the same time, but those units are probably going to be powercreeped as hell (or at least maybe Noctis will be) so they'd probably do some goofy hamfisted nerf to undo at some point* in the future.

This is to get FB traffic. If they just wanted to do a check that requires player input they'd likely have just setup a page where you enter you character ID and email address like they do for the Unit of Choice stuff in Brave Frontier. Just giving out the ticket and cactuars for hitting rank X or higher doesn't get them traffic.

Can someone explain how Locke's ability works exactly? Is it just literally the chance of a random enemy dropping something? Does it affect rarity (like rare materials from the vault)? How about exploration caches? Do multiple Lockes stack for this purpose? Just curious when it's most useful.

It just increases the chances of a chest dropping after a monster dies. Probably not the rarity of the item inside. And multiple locke's do increase chance with a diminishing return. Honestly, even a quick google search provides conflicting reports on whether treasure hunter is good or not. It's probably just a placebo effect, I just bring Locke for good luck.

Bringing a mage team to ELT levels, especially Kefka, is becoming way too much of a bother at this point. A stiff wind knocks them out. I really need to finish my Refia, Bartz and second CoD but it's taking absolutely forever.

I rushed all the new story content to get some Lapis. I knew they were gonna pull the "I am your father" bit eventually.

Getting CoD to 5*/80 and WoL to 5*/69 is the most important thing for that team, I think - that gets you Barrage and Full Break. Take off the Gaia Gear and Golem to help make life less miserable. Spam Cura all day erryday.

EDIT: Since Refia is 4* and I didn't realize her 4* was so poo poo, craft a spare Cura to slap on her if you don't want to grind out her Awakening mats. Otherwise, she learns both Cura and Curaja at 5*.

Just had the weirdest PVP match ever.

Enemy team is Luneth, CoD, ExDeath, Kefka, and Delita. They get the first turn. I look away only to find one of my Kefkas petrified.
I kill everyone but the dual wielding CoD. Suddenly my own Cecil and CoD are petrified. Turns out this CoD is somehow petrifying me with her physical attacks? Eventually it comes down to the wire, I have one Kefka left with 100 HP. Turn goes to the other team, CoD uses Darkside, killing itself and the rest of my team. I get awarded the victory. Still though, that was absolutely bizarre.

Welcome to the new hotness of arena. Golem Staff is in the gale vault and unlocked this week, and anything that has barrage and dual wield can use it to petrify people like crazy, and both Cloud and Butts can wield it natively. Butts even has a super-barrage that gets 5 hits instead of 4, and the proc can go off on either hand.

It is the bee's butts, as the saying goes.
