I decided to do some pulls because hey, why not, need to run the statistical clock for a shot at the Big G 'Du anyway.

3* Cecil on half-pull (he's like my fifth, I think by now I feel comfortable fusing a couple together and rushing Excaliburs)
3* Gilbert (who)
3* Sazh (I like the character, he's probably garbo tho, right)
4* CHEEZ (okay, that's basically who I was aiming for if I wanna be honest with you lot)

Super MP expensive 1 turn damage null seems like it's to be expected honestly.

I'm more interested in Medius, because how the hell do you salvage a fragile gunner that actively attracts attacks to himself? You don't.

Passive 50% chance to counter any magic or physical damage and an active skill that redirects all attacks to them for 1 turn.

Cerius gets Dualcast, autorefresh and darkness resistance moves.

Oh. Well that's ok too I guess.

Not pulling on the banner because I already have 2 Cerius and don't care about Medius. Butz just hit level 100 and BC Lid should be 80 by the end of the day so I guess I'll dump any leftover xp in to Cerius since maybe her 6* will be useful for some trials, but probably not.

How do these raids work? Confusing.

If it's like the raids in Brave Frontier? Poorly and with lots of awful grinding where you need to kill (or not kill) specific targets on raid bosses to have any chance at their rare crafting item dropping, otherwise it's a 0% drop instead of a ~5% or so drop.

Ask me about murdering RC6 bosses like Shisui a few dozen times and only seeing a single rare crafting item drop even with 2--4 star scores at the end. :sigh:

Ran into a guy in the arena whose status message read "200 pulls and no Noctis".

I felt bad for him.

Then I looked at his team: FOUR LUNETH and a WoL(his leader unit).

Spent about half of the tickets/lapis I'd accrued since starting in July, but am still without a 5* base, with my only rainbow crystal being a 5* Chiruzu back on that "Player's Choice" banner. While I'm bummed about whiffing on Noctis, the supposed adjustment in 3*/4* distributions seems to be a reality. I'll have to accumulate a lot of crystals and awakening items and cactuars, but asides from a top healer I'm feeling pretty good.

3x Cecil (1 lvl 100)
2x WoL

2x CoD (2 lvl 100)
2x Chiruzu (1 lvl 100)
1x Bartz (1 lvl 100)
2x Firion
1x Maxwell

5x ExDeath (2 lvl 100)
3x Arc
3x Kefka

2x Zidane
4x Vaan
2x Agrias
3x Edgar

2x Lenna
2x Tellah

And then a ton of others where I'm unsure how many to smash for TM and how many to keep for future 6* or TM teams.

Like, as poo poo as the gacha rates are in this game, I never spent a dime and I both have two base 5* (ahead of the stat curve now, but I pulled like crazy for Luneth, probably burned 50 tickets there), a bunch of top tier 4*s AND 27 tickets on hold. I played during beta so I had a headstart, but all I did was finish up story up to that point and got bored. So far, I'm okay with the current model, although I can already see power creep rearing its ugly head (what up Maxwell). Honestly, this and Marvel Future Fight are the two gacha games I didn't give up on after testing a bunch out, between content influx, time constraints and player engagement. MFF is more "fun" to play but FFBE is a nice "burn energy up and drop it" game, although some events are worse than others.

From a quick google search, I found this guide for rerolling on a different game but the premise sounds like it should work here.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BleachBraveSouls/comments/3iqjg7/tip_fast_rerolling_on_android_using_bluestacks/

Basically you'll need to turn on root access and then manually delete the Exvius game data folder. from /data/

I've never used bluestacks so I have no idea if that will work or not but give it a go.

Are you trying to start it up using remote desktop? If the graphic card isn't being triggered Nox tends to do that.

I never run less than 4.7k HP in arena. That 4th Exdeath on the right is an outlier because I had to gear him up as a companion unit so he's in PvE stuff for now. I'm playing around with gear to see if I can get them all at 300 MAG and 5k HP each.

My most recent streak ended when I ran in to 2 noctis and 3 gregs. They went first and petrified everyone except cecil (who was immune) and all of the petrified people also had two other random status effects on them. I'm not sure what the gently caress gear that person was using but having triple aliments on your entire party in the first round is sure something that isn't at all dumb.

I've never rolled any 5* rainbow monsters or whatever, and don't have any TMs. With that in mind, is a pure tank team useful at all? Something like
Cecil / Wol / Snow / Buttz / Refia

Basically take in an overpowered friend and rely on Buttz battery and everyone tanking to keep everything running. Is that a thing?

If your friend is OP enough; just be warned that some harder bosses (Maxwell, the Twin Dragon, etc) have stupid bullshit attacks they use every x number of turns that you generally want to avoid seeing more than two or three times a fight.

Bartz can work middling double-duty as a damage dealer, mind you, and there's actually a not-insignificant amount of "can awaken up to 6*" units that can fill that hole of "damage dealer", even if they're not as good as the Base 5s - Mercedes and Chizuru are the big ones, but Cloud of Darkness and Bartz can fill in, in a pinch, and Firion will be up there eventually, too.

I have two Chizurus and Mercedes actually, but I was mostly looking at Bartz for his battery potential. I almost have dual cast, so I feel like DC Refia and Bartz can basically keep a team alive forever. Would it be worth slotting in a Chizuru or Mercedes instead of Bartz and maybe Snow?
