Fifty five loving summon tickets, and some lapis yesterday. Nothing but Hope and Fang... and a few useful TMs. Today... LIGHTNING STRIKES AGAIN.

I immediately entered her in a cactuar huffing competition, which she won handily, and then gave her my second best Lightning gear, and now she's at 518 attack.

MY 1/2 off...wait what's the noise? (Without Me starts playing)

Guess who's back?

Today I did 190 summons.

Friend point summons mind you. I needed the last 5% for Dragon Killer.

Among 190 characters I did not get a single Skaha.

For someone who isn't a whale it's awfully suspicious that you have two TMs from a base *4, within a week and a half of release. I've been dropped a few lapis refreshes a day since Snow came out and my Zidane is only at like 45%.

I whaled on $100 worth of two $50 Lapis bundles during black friday and I'm down to 3000~ now. All those 3k 6* awakening packages depleted my supply right quick.

The other mobile game I play, Marvel Future Fight, keeps adding content that allows for multiple clears but removes the characters you use from the pool once you use them to clear. Do you guys think a game mode like that would be viable in this game?

- Required a full party of 5 units, chosen on entry(so it doesn't mess with your static team)
- Characters must be max level
- Each character can be used once per day (not individual unit; meaning if you have two Lightnings you can only send 1 of them per day)
- No friend unit allowed
- Clearable up to 5 times per day
- no NRG entry fee
- had a rotation of bosses with increased stats, or even like a 10 boss rush kind of deal where the bosses scale in difficulty from battle to battle

Basically it would be nice if the game gave me more reason to want to build up some of these others characters. In the past couple days I've pulled Freya and Tellah and have a ton of other characters that it would be neat if the game gave me some reason to use them. With 5 runs each using 5 characters you'd need 25 different units so it's possible that new players could complete the mode with some of the 3* friend units in their party to pad out teams.

There doesn't even need to be a super good reward. Like if the bosses dropped a single random 5*/ 6* mat would be enough but not too much.

Decided to dump the 3 amazon tix and got Fang, Hope, Hope. Currently doing some bonus runs With triple Hope + Lightning netting me around 1000 gears per run.

Got the tix, quartz, cactuars and cheap mats. Guess I'm done for now and will grind up and store some Cactuars.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
1/2 pull was Hope and then 2 out of 5 hanging garden runs had a gigantaur with my now +250% bonus team. :unsmith:

Event's still grindy as poo poo but being guaranteed 750+ gears per run is nice.

Saving my 3 amazing tickets for Orlandu because I've already been burned hard enough trying to chase lightning and I'd rather get burned chasing him.

I believe Firion gets pretty good in the future when he gets his 6*, especially if you have a dual wield TM.

As I've said on the discord, 6* Firion is the game's best chassis on which to staple TMRs. He doesn't really have much as far as big nukes of his own (though once enhancements hit his capstone skill gets pretty solidly punchy), but he gets an absurd amount of Killer and Mastery (+stats w/equip) passives.

Slap a Dual Wield and a Barrage (and/or Orlandu's TMR, but if you have that then why isn't Orlandu getting all your TMRs) on him and he's top shelf. Even without that he's solid.

Draculasswell is a decent high end physical DPS. Demon Rain is a funky yet serviceable tank. Obviously they weren't no Lightning, Luneth, Cecil, or WoL, but they were decent.

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
Seriously, I can field an entire team of 6*s, but I still leave a slot for BC Lid because it's awesome locking down every boss that doesn't null literally all status effects.

There was word on the JP dev stream about a 10-unit format thing coming down the pipeline so I bet they're planning to do something like this.

Hex strike applies 3 random status effects. It also skips status effects the target is immune to. So if a target is vulnerable only to paralyze, silence, and sleep, those status effects are always applied. Always. Even if it is at 90% resist.
It's badly coded and no other ability in the game works like it. It is how you farm bosses that have any status vulnerability.

Now that I think about it, this makes me excited for all the Cecils in arena next week wearing the new helm, as unless they equip a jeweled ring, it will be 3 times more likely to stone them. :cheers:

Is the Chainsaw thing still viable (situationally of course) going forward? Back up to 4 Edgars after fusing 3 the first month of the game or so and wondering if I should level them.

Two (or three, if you're really bad at timing) Edgars should be all you need for chainsaw meta. It's still viable, but its use will see a sharp dropoff when people start getting Orlandus and can just chain Holy Explosions together.

gently caress, this game is really good at making you feel like poo poo. I just hosed up an ELT run because I wasn't paying attention and I just lost back-to-back Arena matches against the same team using Gilgamesh + Golem Staff. His Divider was loving insane and Stoned at least 3 of my guys each time he used it while killing off the rest.
