Daily pull of Santa Roselia, that's me done on this Banner I think.
2 tickets from the 300 lapis bundle on the noctis banner gets me my 6th ingus and then a rainbow........ Garnet. Which at least was a new unit, but got my hopes up. Only my 2nd ever rainbow crystal, at least the first wasn't a troll.

I think I'm pretty close to the point I've got every non limited 3 and 4 star base now. Hayate is the only one i know of that in missing now.

This probably old news but I'm mission grinding in Dirnado and come upon a mission to use power burst. Never heard of that so I check the wiki and they don't have an entry for it either. I google it and apparently it's a Gumi typo and they ment for you to use power break.

After pulling using tickets from the 300 lapis bundle, I got the 30% MAG TM football jerk and Shadow.

I am sure I'm about 60000 pulls away from seeing a rainbow orb again so my lapis is better spent on TM farming. I should definitely fill all my TMs before I pull again!

So what do I do when I get a rare summon ticket?

I need help deciding which characters to combine for the 5% TM and which to keep copies of (either for battles or shared TM grind). I pretty much used all 6 months of tickets and lapis I've F2P hoarded on this banner (0 rainbows though :( ) so I'm not super familiar with a lot of the characters. I plan to keep 4 or 5 of each 6*-capable unit, and all of the units with top-tier TMs, but a bunch fall in a spot where I'm unsure if it's better to keep a full team or just combine down to 2 or 3 right away. Any advice would be appreciated!

I just booted 100% of non-goons/friends off my list, so I'm at 117 of 130. Hit me up at 103,135,071 for the glorious noodle prince, now with double bracer action.

Why does this dyer guy keep spending money on refreshes to run frosty right now? Does he gain anything? He has amost a 4/1 advantage, there is no way the 2nd place is going to catch up

e- Also after getting this loving gun for this event, its incredibly stupid that Medius didnt get dual guns. Even with dual guns he would still be less powerful than the other FFBE gunner unit because his skills still suck and he still has draw attacks.

If you're using Android then you can use the Helium app off the Google Play store to back up Brave Exvius on your tablet, then copy that backup into Memu and install Helium there to restore it. I recently did that and it worked from my non-rooted phone.

The only difficulty I had was that my computer didn't see the backup folder made by Helium on my phone, but I got around that by making a zip file of the backup folder using my phone's file browser, which could be copied by my computer.

8 Chizuru (2 maxed, 6 new)
You want 5 Blade Masteries just in case, they are so good that I'd probably TM grind multiples at a time then smash to speed up the TM grind process. Chorizo is a solid unit right now too so definitely keep the 2 you have maxxed out
7 ExDeath (3 maxed, 4 new)
I kept 4 ExDeaths just because eventually I will grind up all 4 and have an arena team that is almost impossible for me to lose with. I have 2 maxxed out right now and the team is almost unbeatable as is. I would smash the other 3
5 Garland (all new)
Garland is very good once he gets his 6* but I don't see any Bartz on your list, he only gets really amazing when he goes the double-double hand route and his TM isn't great so you can probably smash these guys all toghether
5 Edgar (all new)
You only need 2 of him to do the chainsaw chain shenanigans so you can probably smush the rest or all of them if you never want to bother with chainsaw shenanigans (really Chorizo can do it just as well and you have lots of those) but you might want to grind out a couple of machine killers just in case of future challenges/events
5 Edge (all new)
The character isn't great and the TM isn't either, I'd smash all these
5 Mercedes (all new)
This unit is great and the TM is the strongest weapon in the game currently, TM all 5 to max, don't smush
5 Freya (all new)
Another unit that sucks compared to your pile of Chorizos and Mercedes. Her TM is interesting though and 50% dark resist might come in useful in the future, I'd probably keep at least two to max out TM on
5 Vaan (1 maxed, 4 new)
His TM is alright but not really amazing. He's an alright Full Breaker since I don't see a WoL or Agrias on your list I'd keep one for that role
4 Cecil (1 maxed, 1 high 5*, 2 new)
His TM is great, I would max TM all 4 of these
4 Firion (1 maxed, 3 new)
TM isn't great at all, but his 6* form is a beast. Problem is he's only a beast with a ton of TMs on him so I'd only keep 1 and smash the rest
4 Ludmille (all new)
You want all 4 Dualcasts for sure
4 Gaffgarion (all new)
Bracer is great, especially on Doublehand guys like 6* Garland. I would grind out 4 of them
4 Mustadio (all new)
Best gun in the game, you probably want all 4 of them
4 Xiao (1 maxed, 3 new)
Best Fist weapon in the game by a landslide, you probably want 4
4 Kefka (all new)
You want all 4 ribbons just in case there's a trial boss in the future that they trivialize
4 Arc (1 maxed, 3 new)
The best mage staff, you want all 4 if you ever plan on making a mage team with your pile of ExDeaths
4 Tellah (1 maxed, 3 new)
Not great right now when you have so many ExDeaths and Arcs, his TM is ok, I'd probably smash them all toghether
4 Celes (1 maxed, 3 new)
Not an amazing unit but the Minerva Bustier is really good. II would probably grind all 3 of these
4 Golbez (2 maxed, 2 new)
His TM is awesome, but your ExDeaths already have Meteor so I'd probably smash all these
3 Terra (1 maxed, 2 new)
Ultima is the strongest black magic spell outside of Noctis' ring, I'd keep all 3 for your ExDeath army
3 Zidane (all new, 1 TM mastered, 2nd TM at 25%)
Unless you have 5 dual wield, never smash Zidanes
3 Medius (all new)
Some people swear by his growth egg, but I tend to level my guys up almost exclusively with Cactaurs. If you grind your dudes to level them, then you probably want 3 of these, if you are like me you can probably smash these guys

Really though, unless you need the space I'd keep most of them for now.

Awesome advice, thanks so much! :) Glad to hear about the quality of those equipment TMs, guess I'll keep most of the characters and buy more space or use cactuars and pots more expediently.

I do have several other solid-enough characters (in terms of stats or TMs), but only 1-2x each so I wasn't as concerned about keeping them all versus combining:

2x Cloud of Darkness, Agrias, WoL, Lenna, Sazh
1x Bartz, Maxwell, Snow, Vanille

Unfortunately none of my tickets got me a Refia so I'm really lacking in the healer department. Cecil helps a bunch though.

MP up would be really good on units with refresh that burn through tons of mp per cast. I'm keeping my telaths just for my tilith. Because if you can get her over 500mp she will recover most of her mp each turn regardless of what she casts.

Also will a materia that grand double hand stack in global when your character already has double hand like for Garland? I smooshed my buttz together because having 3 dw already sort of limits the use of double hand but I might have kept another one if that was the case.

Yes, the materia stacks with the natural ability. Just like the killer abilities. If you put a dragon killer materia on Kain he gets the benefit from both his inherent killer bonus and the materia one.

I am pretty sure there is a goon with a suped up Demon Rain with the Double Hand from Butz and his own inherent Double hand and is around 700 atk.

I did pull my first Zidane, which is rad, Xiao, also rad, and a Charlotte, my billionth Galuf, and that wiener Duane.

I don't macro, since I play on my phone, but sooner or later I'll have to start TM farming (manually. Ick.) Earth Shrine is the way to go yeah? My teams are all really solid, I just don't have any super amazing gear or abilities outside of event stuff. My closest TM is 64% on Agrias.

Anywho, grntstmb 565 398 787 for a middle of the road DK Cecil. I can throw up a middling crew of idiots too, almost everyone max level.

Tiliths healing toolkit cannot be trumped because its raw 100% aoe healing and rezzing, she also has the highest threat reduction passive and pretty drat good support. The only thing her kit lacks is auto rezzing. And she does all of this without enhancements, so if she ever gets powercreeped they can bring her back up with those. You cannot go wrong with dumping mp on her. Id argue that dumping spr isnt needed though, because her heal bombs are 100% anyways
