Sleep, rest, do your best.
After dropping some cash on the new bundle, and the 300 lapis, I've spent eighty or ninety bucks on this game since I've had survey money from Google to apply. I used five more tickets today and while I still failed to get Noctis, I ended up with the last character I didn't have, but wanted: Firion.

I think the only non time limited characters I don't have are Snow, Luneth, Elza, and Noctis. I suppose I'll do daily pulls while this banner goes on but otherwise save my lapis and tickets for Orlandu.

Decided to dump 5k because gently caress it why not. Here goes my first 11pull:

Charlotte, Alma, Snow, Refia, Mercedes, Golbez, Cecil, Bartz, Chiz, Snow, Amarant

Well, it could've been worse. 5 gold and I hit Mercedes whom I was going for is okay I guess. Also double Snow is a cool fuckyou from Gumi given the 20+ tix and dailies I spend on his banner and got ZERO banner units.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
Despite not getting a base 5*, that's probably one of the best 11-pulls I've seen. Golbez is probably the worst guy on there and he hasn't gotten his 6* in Japan yet so who knows if he'll be awful at 6*.

Meanwhile I daily pulled a Charlotte, grabbed the lapis bundle and spent the 2 tickets to pull Cylne and Maria. SUCK!

Daily: Agrias

Well, since she is 97/100 on that latest Altema update being top 8 and basically a mini-Orlandu I'm certainly not complaining.

Best thing about agrias is that you dont NEED an orlandu yourself to cause massive havock on mobs. Say you have two modestly geared agrias and a turbo whale friend orlandu, thats it youve trivialized most content because the two agrias whipping out their holy explosions and your friend orlandu using his will completely shred things from the chain. Plus she has full break, protectaga and curaja

drat I really need at least two cecils. The bastard keeps eluding me and I really want an excalibur for when she gets her 6*

I cannot get my macros to run for more than an hour now. They either crash to desktop, freeze up entirely or end up in some feedback loop.

This is on both Memu and Nox, and on the most recent versions of each.

That alone might kill the game for me.

So, tell me if I am crazy but here is my idea.

Buy the big bundle, use the tickets and whatnot. But the lapis is used not for ineffectually pulling, but to fuel TM grinding. I kinda really like this idea, it feels right and like I said a better use of lapis than multisummoning and getting nothing. I would still buy the 300 lapis ticket bundles with it, but the rest would go to TM grinding (and also maybe grinding the maze while it is around, if there is a macro for it?).

Just a heads up, account got suspended. I use Memu a great deal for TM farming, but no hacks/injections for cheating.

Put an email in to support asking what's up, hope this was a mistake.

I spend way to much money on these mobile game's IAP to risk bans from cheating, so not sure what's happened.

There IS a macro for it, and it changes everything for me. Imagine checking Memu every few hours and having the pleasure of just applying a shedload of Cactaurs to your unit of choice.

Also, your idea makes me want to drop money for the second time in this game. I'd get so many TMs progressed with 100 refreshes.

To be fair, Cerius is really good at it; CoD's are 30%, Cerius' are 70%. Of course not being able to do anything else just hurts her. If she'd gotten Cheer or Focus or something.

Cerius is a poor mans Minfilia. Which is doubly weird given that Minfilia is free from an event if you farm enough points.

My daily was a gold that reformed into a rainbow. This is the second rainbow I've pulled on a daily pull this banner (the first being Dark Knight Cecil on day one).

IT WAS RAMZA. :woop: I've been wanting him for ages! He's finally mine!

Feeling on top of the world, I decided to burn the ticket I got for login bonus today for another gold. Mercedes! The one thing I wanted most from this banner!

Today was a good pull day. :toot:

There are a lot of people who have been macroing for months and haven't been banned. There's no proof Kalas was banned for macroing, we have no idea why his account was suspended and there's nothing to do but wait until he gets a response from Gumi and posts it.

Though honestly considering the amount of people who macro and haven't been banned, I'd say you don't need to be scared.

Gold crystal on half pull made me dare to hope for Mercedes, instead it was Alma #2. I can't recall the last 4* base I got from a gold crystal. Agrias, I guess?

HGH posted:

Medius and Cerius still suck, Rosalia is a dedicated defensive healer that could work if you have other buffers, and Noel is a pretty interesting and tanky mage:
https://reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/5ji8my/gl_1221_maint_quick_peek/

Lack of Raise on Rosalia is horrible. It's a shame too because her counter ability is pretty amazing since it's a 40% chance to self-esuna and give elemental immunity (100% resist) for 2 turns and a separate chance to self/aoe cure when damaged... :psyduck:

Cerius getting innate dualcast is nice at least. My desire to finish leveling her has dropped sharply though since she is still just a badly inferior version of Minfilia.

Cao Ni Ma posted:

As is Y'shtola, IIRC, which is nice for those of us who will never pull Refia. Wish the event would show up soon though because lack of a 6* healer suuuuuuuuuuucks.

Nox/Memu macros are dumb macros. They always run full circle. They cant detect when something is finished. This specific macro you are talking about works because the stage select for the maze is all the way up and so even if the maze ends early it has a big area to keep clicking without hitting anything.

Seriously it would be a release for me too if I didn't get this account back. I would probably be able to give up IAP entirely if I lost all the effort/money I put into this one.
