Again a very likpatous story
I finally pulled a Bartz on my half price pull today. I know I have a lot of units much better than him, but I love FFV and Bartz is awesome so I wanted him.

Then I spent 4 tickets to try and get Faris so I could have the entire FFV crew. I ended up with a Fran, TWO 4* Lanis, and a Vivi. Well, maybe I'll pull Faris on a future pull.

Yeah if you just sit idle and refresh your ranking every 5 minutes watch your ranks drop in freefall. A LOT of players doing this atm. I just cleared my board and have enough of this tedious poo poo. Also below Rank 5000 now for the first time since Arena was launched. Wont last an hour I reckon.

Since I first said something I have never had less than 4 orbs in the arena and I have continuously been doing battle after battle. About 60 fights so far.

edit: after writing that it appears the arena is back to normal now. I am losing orbs after battle. I jinxed it :(

Bleh, arena reward summon ticket today? I don't even use the arena, my team isn't up to snuff.

Beat ADV Gilgamesh, used ticket and got another Leo. Is his Aegis Shield any good that I can grind for multiples or is it safe to combine?

Arena tickets are for summoning loot like stat pots, getting ten is really good, no actual arenaing required.

Ain't easy looking this eggstraordinary.

So this might be a dumb question but I don't want to accidentally screw up my account. I'm currently running an account on Android and was thinking about setting up one of the emulators on my desktop just to help with TM farming because my god, but I thought I had seen something about Apple/iOS accounts being able to set it up whenever (and still be able to play the same account on mobile), whereas I thought Android wouldn't let you play the same account on mobile and then also be able to macro TM farm.

Am I just being a total luddite here? Could I go through the emulator setup back in the first post and still access my account normally on my phone?

Yes you can use the same account on an emulator and on the phone. You just log in with the facebook account on the emulator.

Obviously you can't play the same account simultaneously on both devices. If you try to do that you get an error message and have to relog in.

Knocked out like 30 fights with that arena bug. If I had known that was going to happen I wouldn't have worked so hard to hit my hundred streak yesterday. Also:

Exactly. This wasn't a select few players maliciously exploiting a bug (see packet injection) but rather a mistake by the developers that was available to all players through the legitimate mechanics of the game. If they banned anyone over this episode, their reputation would be tarnished and they'd lose future profits.

I'd be surprised if they didn't actually compensate everyone for their error, in order to appease the players who were unable to take advantage of it.

Now for Leo and his TM Aegis Shield. Is it a good to TM reward to farm multiples of or is it safe to combine him?

It's pretty rare that you need dual tanks, but there has been a few situations. I used Cecil and WoL on the Maxwell fight, but it was mostly because WoL had full break.

Hahaha yeah I went a little nuts too. Could've squeezed even more runs in had I not been frantically spending medals between bunches of runs since I was afraid they'd take them away.

Briefly broke into the high 100's rank too. That's gone now though ofc.



Also saw this cool team while I was out there riding dirty.

I'd shoot for 2 Aegis Shields, but I also don't know what other good shields are coming down the pipeline. You'd want one for your Tank for sure, then another for your breaker. Unless you're really tight on space, I wouldn't get rid of them.

Aegis shield is a very good shield, but I can't see needing more than one. You're going to have dual wielders and people using other shields to cover elemental weaknesses
