you get rewards based on ranking

it's in one of the news items

Unfortunately you're really just fighting over summon tickets since you'll have to whale to get anything better than that. See where you are when the end of the event draws near and then if it's worth spending 100-200 Lapis in refills to get into the next rank do that. If you're spending 1000 lapis on refills just to get 2 more tickets then don't bother.

Unless you've been poopsocking from the start I don't think there's any real hope of getting into the top tiers anymore.

Trolled as hell on Cactuar Dunes. It's like the game knows I have an exp egg and 5 medius I'm waiting to TM grind out for a second.

This last run I had 2 normal metal cactuar and 1 gigantuar and neither of the first two dropped into crystals, leaving me with only the gigantuar. I didn't even know that could freaking happen.

I've gotten 7 regular cacutaurs, and 14 Gigantuars over 10 runs.

Combined with my runs last night, I'm definitely averaging less than 2 Gigantuars a run.So overall I'm still getting barely ahead of what I would get running the vortex but not by much, and would probably be behind if I had that second egg.

Im just saving cactuars for WoL 6*. I really should get a mage team up as well for events where chaining magic is the way to go but I'll hedge my bets on a physical team.

I don't get arena sometimes. I face the same team back to back and do the same attacks/spells and sometimes a dude I killed the first time ends the turn with 1/2 health or more the 2nd time. It's like it randomized resistances or something.

Damage is randomized slightly. Magic within a range of 90-110% and Physical damage based upon the weapon type.

Edit: 50% or more hp difference sounds like someone's covering though.

Or you're chaining on one go and not the other. Or using Barrage?

Any reason to keep TMed units you'll never have a use for? They don't seem to even add 5% to the same one. Should I just sell 'em? Feed them to someone?

Sell if you need gil, feed if you need XP. Assuming it's not a unit worth keeping in its own right, like Cecil.

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.

I bought the premium version since it's just a couple of quid (support the devs and so on) and after a bit of faffing about I got it copied over to the PC. Getting the script running in Memu was really easy too so I now have my TM team farming away in the Earth Shrine. Ta again.

Same. I got Santa Roselia on my 2nd daily pull and haven't daily pulled since.
I suggest that unless the average player here has no Refia/Lenna and is desperate for a healer, to not bother pulling.

Nothing about Gumi's global operation of FFBE gives any reason to expect that bundle or anything close to as amazing. One can dream, though.
