So the banner characters for this event are a elemental resistance buff caster against enemies who ignore elements and just cast instant death. a guy with draw attacks who will draw said instant death, a healer who can't revive people who die to said instant death, and a tank that casts ice and wind magic against an enemy with 80% resist to ice and wind magic. GJ gumi.

Having all three boxes target Medius with death is actually a plus.

Jesus loving christ, has anyone else had time to look at the actual rank rewards? 5* trust moogle that gives 10% to "all units" (so I guess a full team?) and 10k lapis for first place.

Why bother looking at the rank rewards if you weren't planning on spending thousands of dollars on a cellphone game?

The 5* Trust Moogle is the same 10% we already have. "All Units" distinguishes it from 3* Trust Moogles (which we don't have) which are unit specific.

It doesn't give trust to a full team. It says it gives 10% to "all units" because it's a distinction from other Trust Moogles that only give 5% to one specific unit. We haven't gotten any of those yet.

Either way the rankings are hilarious because there is no way that they are worth it given people already dropping like a hundred buckos on day 1 on energy refreshes.

Yea, I guess I could understand if it was a special unit or equipment or something. But just currency means that you very quickly spend more on the refreshes than the rewards are giving out.

So I might finally get around to setting up a script thing today/tomorrow, given that this event won't require maximum grinding to earn everything. Dumb question: if I'm logged in on the pc running the Nox or Memu thing, what would happen if I tried to login via the phone app? I presume it would cause an issue? I'm wondering how I could go about having the script run while out of the house but checking in to see if it's working right.

Im kinda suprised they didn't start with those and work their way up to the 10% moogle the way they did with pots (well, burst pots at least). Like, are we supposed to be excited when they finally give out the lesser moogles?

The character-specific moogles only being 5% also makes them functionally equivalent to just pulling a duplicate of the unit itself making them kinda pointless. I mean if it was 10% to a specific character that would make more sense.

That would be absolutely ridiculous and gamebreaking if they would give that #1. Also totally possible.

So I got Locke's TM, and so I have another open sport on my TM team. Currently I have Maxwell/Chizuru/Mercedes/Zidane on it. The best choices I have I think are:

- Hayate (Black Cowl)
- Gaffigan (Bracer)
. Agrias (Save The Queen)
- Karl (Seal of Destruction)
- Arc (Omnirod)

I'm thinking Save The Queen.

i dont have anything super exciting at the moment but i cleared out some friend list slots so if you want a 4k health dualcast refia bud at the moment: 180,869,786

i am working on my chiz and she will hopefully have some decent attack when i can finish off her tm, or eventually i'll have a wicked agrias i guess? give me a zidane you stupid game

edit: ^ without knowing what units you have or what tms you already have unlocked it's hard to say, but i think i would rather have bracer than save the queen, but i would definitely go for it second

First place dude has over 70k points. That's a lot of refreshing.

Too bad the raid rewards fall off so hard after the top 100 or whatever. No real reason to kill yourself grinding after receiving the individual rewards.

I'd go with the bracer, more versatile since anyone can use it so you get some more loadout flexibility. Also there are already a ton of really good swords out there, so if it takes you a while to get it, it may be a bigger relative improvement (as I assume equipment powercreep will also continue).

got a few friend spots open. Don't have anything crazy but right now I've got a 423 atk Noctis up with demon and man killer from diablos. Usually he comes in around 460 atk but it seemed worth it to have demon killer on for this event.

I swapped my lead to DW Chiz with Chirijiraden/Diabolos (only about 450ish ATK).

Yeah, it's a bad translation. Should be "any unit", not "all units".

How is that kinda pointless? It lets them give away a "+5% to Lightning's TM" item without giving everyone a free Lightning.

My husband just started and is looking for some help if people don't mind adding a goon by proxy: 544937405 is his friend number. Thanks guys!

Added. If we're doing this, I would also like to nominate my nonGoon bestie who is feeling pretty intimidated by this game and jealous of my cool friends (I'm working on him becoming a Goon, but these things cannot be rushed.) 806, 965, 022 is his friend code, I'm gonna take a look at his game tonight and optimize him. Thanks to anyone with a free slot that's willing to do this!

So...

I'm doing okay in this event, using Lightning x2, Refia, CoD, and a floater, of which I am having the most success with... 6* Cerius? I put Baraerora and the Healing Staff on her, she casts Barblizzaga, Baraerora, and Protectga in that order, and I don't die from the hellacious Blizzagas and Aerogas that I can't outheal or outdamage quickly enough. I have a 6* Exdeath I could probably get up to level 100 with the 20 Gigantaurs I just got, but... will the one mage be enough, offense-wise, to make up for Cerius literally keeping my team alive?

EDIT: fixed friend code, I need new glasses or something.

3345 points with 1 refresh (because I was too impatient to wait for 10 minutes for my energy to roll over to the next 20 increment), including the 65 nrg from compensation that I saved specifically for the event. ELT gives so much rank XP that I'll also rank up in 40 nrg.

If he doesn't, it's a wipe because the snowman's an rear end in a top hat who gets to triple cast or some bullshit.
