Dragomorph posted:Is it worth saving fifty billion versions of a character if you're not actively macroing for trust masteries? I have a ton of Shantottos and Arcs based on advice that I should grind for multiples, but I'm not using an emulated version so I can't really macro it anyway, and I'm not a whale. If you don't plan on macros and you think you'll get 20 of those units to smash together for one of their TMRs, then you probably can.. but I wouldn't recommend that.

oh WHAT THE gently caress IS UP, 5* Gilgamesh! Wound up with three rare summon tickets, the first two were dogshit FFBE characters, the third was a rainbow crystal. I didn't even dare to dream - then "MWA HA HA HA HA! I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT TO DO, HADN'T I BEEN CALLED" EAT PISS Hokay so i am still trying to get past veritas of the loving heavens in loving windmill town, here's the team I'm working on grinding up: L59/5* CoD, L60/4* Kain, L60/4* WoL, L31/5* Arc, L22/4* Exdeath. Here's the rest of my stable: Rain, Lasswell, Fina, Rizer, Leah, Tronn, Eldin, Baurg, Gimlee, Maxell, Liza, Biggs, Paul, Anastasis, Sarah, King Giott, Mizell, Ronaldo, Mel, Penelo, Maria, Shadow, Krile, Edgar, Fran, Rydia, Clyne, Bedile, Kuja, Terra, Bartz, Zidane, Vaan, Roselia, Sarai, Paula, Ollie, Skaha, Montana, Russell, Miyuki, Galuf, Xiao, Locke, Leo, Rakshasa, Amarant, Lani, Karl, Seria, Agrias, Refia, Ingus, Gilgamesh. I had been running CoD / Kain / WoL / Arc / Refia, but subbed out Exdeath for Refia because Refia can't use baraerora, and I've thrown some trash in place of Kain and WoL so the XP isn't wasted while I grind levels. I'm thinking that if I level Gilgamesh up and sub him in for Kain, that'll give me a harder hitter (WoL has some utility, and CoD has some protection buffs). And as someone pointed out, I don't have to care too hard about baraerora once I get CoD levelled up, so I might toss Refia back in for Exdeath for healing. Thoughts?

CoD/Greg/WoL/Arc/Refia certainly works, but you could sub in Agrias for WoL. Either way a quality party.

PopeCrunch posted:oh WHAT THE gently caress IS UP, 5* Gilgamesh! I had the same problem as a new player. And I'd like to suggest the same approach I eventually took. Stop trying to beat Veritas. Go grind levels, awaken your units, don't bother with story progression for a few days. Spend some lapis to run through the Chamber of Experience a few dozen times. When you come back you will find him trivial.

Yeah, just go max your team, maybe run Bridge ADV with a buff-rear end 6* friend, get everyone somewhat up to speed and you'll just smash him. Your team should be able to easily do it, just not if it's underleveled.

Mrit SA posted:I had the same problem as a new player. And I'd like to suggest the same approach I eventually took. This should be advice for any newbie in general. If you hit a roadblock do something else in the game for a while instead of bang your head against a wall. Whether that be finishing quests or grinding xp/materials/crystals or lapis quests in scenarios it is better than wasting NRG trying a super difficult boss over and over again and losing. I hit a roadblock in the coliseum with ADV Archileuth so I left it for a week+. Came back to it because of the coliseum wins as part of the daily quests and it ended up being trivial because I had powered up so much in that time.

I'll third that and say level up your team. Stuff like Full Break is such a big game changer. Make sure you have the materials needed for awakening before you start leveling them up. If you have lotsa free time, you can do Maranda Coast explorations to stock up on Ice Megacrysts to boot.

almost every unit in the game is useless not at max level. like a 3* exdeath can't really do anything at all, i am pretty sure he doesn't get elemental spells until 4* even.

The exvius unit rankings just updated their list to include the new/upgraded units. I'm a little surprised that Gilgamesh is only at 11 when I was under the impression that with Dual Wield, he could easily keep up with the likes of Luneth and Lightning.

With the new ratings Exdeath having a 19 overall rating makes him the strongest unit in the game, while Krile is pulling a solid 15.5, both units leaving Lightning and Luneth in the dust

Yeah, I was lamenting not getting Tilith or Refia and being stuck with Lenna as my healer, but Krile getting a decent 5* upgrade along with Curaja puts her right back in my party again. Which is fitting, because for a looooong stretch of the game she was my dedicated mage/healer in one

That's what I initially thought, but for units like Cecil and Refia it says, "Note: Rating takes Dualcast into account." I guess that means if they don't explicitly mention it like in those cases, TMs aren't factored into the rating.

The bridge thing is pretty great -- leveled Refia from 60-83 (come on embolden). It is still much more of a grind than chamber of experience but its twice as efficient energy use. I have a ton of Elza friends left over from the last event and even without amazing gear they can frequently just chain limit breaks back to back every encounter. Now I just need to pull an ExDeath.

Orgophlax posted:EDIT: And what's the deal with Bedile that he seems to be held in high regard? "High" regard. Since nobody gave a serious answer here, Bedile is probably one of the three worst rare-summon pull units in the game, after Shadow (who has absolutely no redeeming values) and Anzelm (whose Trust Mastery is literally craftable, like right now). There are several reasons for this:
In other words, he's infamous because he's the very personification of wasted lapis/tickets.

This has been an unusually great banner. Absolutely filthy with useless bunny women, but also great. Tickets plus dailies: Fran x3 Bedile Bartz Exdeath WoL!? Faris Refia!! I didn't have any of these aside from fran and bedile. I pulled as much as possible for WoL and Refia on their respective banners and got jack. Refia will be spending a lot of quality time out on the big bridge. If I have a maxed and potted Cecil, is WoL still going to be useful? I have literally every other breaker, but I hear he's interesting at 6*.

If you have max Cecil and Agrias, I'd bench WoL. WoL had use during the Maxwell Trial for running both Cecil and WoL double tank (alongside Refia) for all of the mitigation. When 6* WoL comes out, he takes over Cecil's job.

Quick arena question for all of you that know a poo poo ton more than I do. So I'm currently rocking a team of Cecil cod draclaz arc and exdeath until I can get the mats together for my 3 other exdeaths. In the mean time am I better chaining a double cast elemental like firaga with ex and arc or am I better off doubling Meteor and an elemental? Does the elemental chain add more than Meteor does? It's hard to tell which does more damage because the numbers fly by so quick. I think the chained elementals do more damage on average but I wasn't certain. Also would it make more sense then to drop draclaz or Cecil for kefka to chain up a bunch of thundagas ? I very much appreciate any advice I can get

You're probably going to get more consistent damage out of Meteor by ignoring resistances, and you can still chain with it with timing.

Ah awesome thanks. Now to try swapping in kefka to see if his AoE will add a little more umph to things. So far it seems like strong growth magic users are the way to go in the arena, although that could be because I don't have any duel wielding dudes with area blast
