Facebook says they're extending everything a day, Big Bridge, hanging bridge, FFV summon, and FFXIII summon. It specifically says the Lightning XIII summon and doesn't mention the current XIII summon.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
Connection is shaky but I got my lapis and tickets. I did sneak in three pulls.

Daily pull - blue crystal, turned gold, 4* Sazh
Used Ticket on FFXIII banner and got 3* Leo
Ticket on FFV banner got a third Exdeath :aaa:

Are three Exdeaths overkill? I may not have the equipment for them yet but they are awesome units.

Also, I'm coming back after a ~5 month hiatus- who should I prioritize getting to 6* first- Exdeath(s), Bartz, or Cecil?

Yes.

Though seriously: Exdeath first probably, although Cecil first isn't bad since he's a great tank and has Curaja if you're lacking that on your healer. Bartz last. He's a good physical attacker with amusing synergy with Refia, but Exdeath might just do more for you.

Yea, I'm seriously considering just cutting Bartz and going full exdeath after I pulled #3 and #4 today. Cecil learns the magic buff at 6*, right?
I just pulled Sazh and WoL too, and they would bring Full Break to the table. Would Cecil+WoL just be overkill, or is that actually a good combination?

It's generally recommended to have at least 1 source of Full Break. People tend to go with Agrias, since she supports and attacks better, but failing that, WoL's the next best choice. So WoL + Cecil is perfectly fine (and was a strategy for Maxwell for other reasons).

Cecil learns Focus at level 82, yes.

Uh, so I have hoarded 11 tickets, and while I am not planning on spending them on this poo poo banner I clicked the multi pull just to check it out....can you not use tickets for an 11 pull? If so what a loving crock of poo poo.

Gears per run with Sazh went from 150 to 300, so that's great. Will be even better once (friend) Lightning gets her bonus.

And the Dragon's dead! 4 Elixirs, 1 X-Potion, 1 Phoenix Down, & 1 Mega-Ether used after it hit 50% hp and it looked like there was actually a fight there. Phoenix Down was only used when Refia (and Agrias, Bartz, & Cecil) died, since that's typically a lose condition.

Elza's Auto-Revive turned out to be super useful. Had her use it 2-3 times when the Dragon had Boosted so she'd die and then Auto-Revive one it ended, thereby keeping her alive and clearing Dragon's Voice off her. Refia was on Embolden duty (so people could do damage) and on 2x Full-Life duty (since a lot of people were dying). Occasionally she could actually heal, along with Cecil when he wasn't Silenced (he was silenced often). 3 Deaths were cast over the course of the fight, and they all hit Cecil because when he was silenced all he could do was refresh Provoke or Guard.

This was almost certainly not the way to do this fight. But man if it didn't feel good.

Edit: Hot drat, Grand Helm brought Cecil from 436 to 483 DEF.

Daily was a 3* Cecil! I already had two of him, but I pulled them both at 4*, so this one is next in line for burst pots once I'm done with the Exdeath I'm working on (level 14 LB so far).

I finally understand everything there is to know about axes!
Back from my two or three week burnout break. The free tickets were very welcome. I finally drew an Exdeath, giving me one last member for a balanced all 6 star team. I just need to level up all of these people and get the mats for them.

Are there any good things for Lightning from this event I should get as soon as I can?

Daily Pull: Vanille! Huzzah, I was trying for her.

Dragon Trip report: Guys, I seriously encourage you take take my Lightning. I four-rounded the bastard, he got one attack off.

Party - Lightning, CoD, Refia, Cecil, Fenrir's Lightning
Round 1: Failed to Aura Ball (I guess he's immune), Embolden, Cheer, autoattacks of doom. Did enough damage to cause him to trigger Boost.
Round 2: Tried Deprotect (also failed), autoattacks. Tanked through Release (did about 3000 damage to everyone)
Round 3: Comeback, Dualcast Curajas, Sacred Guard, Autoattacks. Triggered his Boost again.
Round 4. Autoattacks, he dead yo, Grand Helm get.

Didn't kill him nearly as quickly, grabbed some Luneth who had all his attacks resisted. Bartz KO'd himself once to refill a dual casting Regis, otherwise not too hard of a trial.

I missed this before but isn't that technically what Trust Mastery was intended as? They only added the "10% chance of .1%" and trust moogles later, as some sort of bullied concession.

Pretty much, except TMs are generally optional. Most games I'm talking about make the duplicate fusion necessary for that game's equivalent of awakening. Otherwise you're stuck trying to beat the story with a bunch of friend-point pull tier units and usually those same games have even more ridiculous power creep than exvius ever will because they really, really try to force you to pay money. I played at least one where you couldn't access event dungeons without 5* or 6* characters awoken and in your party.

I still haven't actually seen any gigantaurs in this dungeon. I did get 200+200 gears just by beating it with my two sazh this time around though. So the buff was nice.
