Alternately, she has dual ability and has a passive that gives her +200% every stat, but only triggers when she casts thundaga blade and holy blade both of which she doesn't innately have.

Too close to compu gacha; if Gumi did that there'd be the potential for Severe Problems. There'd need to be an alternate method, like forcing her to equip her own TMR to bypass that (similar to how Onion Knight needs his own TMR to ascend to god tier) or making Thundaga Blade/Holy Blade craftable (and in turn making Bedile and Shashrasahrsahala even more useless)

you can totally reuse the same real google play account. It's only Facebook you don't want to link 'til you've picked a winner.

I booted a few inactives and sent you an invite. Have a couple spots left if anyone wants/needs a 700ish atk Dracu Lasswell buddy.

EDIT: Also, the discord is WAY more active than the thread, if anyone needs to get good goonfriends to carry them, they'd probably have much more success there.

https://exviuswiki.com/Unit_Rankings
These rankings give a good idea what to reroll for if you want a good group,you can try for someone in the unit rankings by role box and if you get one of those in 1st -3rd (or pretty much anyone in physical attack) youre set.

Alternatively, if you dont mind waiting for friday, you can try the new banner and reroll for dark fina, and have the best mage in the game.

You specifically want a five star base because this is the only opportunity you have to ensure that you get one, and just about all of them are guaranteed to be useful someday. There are four star base units that are definitely also important to get, but you're much more likely to get them than you are any five star base characters

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
Son of a bitch. So I finally managed to get memu downloaded and installed but the second i pull it up I get a message about my graphics driver needs to be updated, but it is updated. I'm assuming this means that my graphics card is too lovely to run the game then? My comps drat near 10 years old and running Vista so I really won't be surprised if I just can't tm farm, but would anyone know a work around for this? Like memu just crashes after it gives me that message so I can't access any menus in the program.

I'm probably just poo poo out of luck huh? Oh God that means I've got to manually grind tms and now I want to curl up in the fetal position and make the pain go away. All I want is a nice dual wield for my noctis and maybe an Excalibur and death bringer is that too much to ask for Gummi

Evil Fluffy posted:

Looking at that banner, Dark Fina's a great mage for those who want one, Luka's nice if you don't have Refia and dualcast, Elle is whatever.

I might do some 1/2 pulls but I'm pretty tempted to skip the banner entirely. Luka's an upgrade for me as far as healers go butif I'm going to chase a healer it might as well be Refia on a future banner, or Tilith. Otherwise just getting by with what I have until we get the FFXIV event. Assuming Gumi doesn't do some bullshit and put those units on a regular banner.


Orlandu's still vastly superior to Dark Fina and it's not even close. She's pretty great in general but if your plan is to whale for a single super unit that can carry the day then Orlandu's still the one to go for, especially if you have an excalibur for him.

I have three cecils now :shepface: so I'll, eventually, have two for orlandu and one for anyone else who can use it. My current Dark Fina plan is to spend my tickets on her and take daily rolls. Then see how I feel about it by the time the banner ends. If they don't announce orlandu and I decide I want her, I might take a single 11 roll.

Infected posted:

Naw, the actual pro-Gumi move here is to release that after Orlandu, but make her better than him.

Or just make her TM really, really good so even people who hate her will want to get her just for that TM and spend ages TM farming.

My guess is Ariana won't be 5* and will just be okay stat and skill wise. Later on that one skill will turn out to be gamebreaking in some situations and she will be usable after all.

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
Welp, just got Noel for my daily pull. That puts me at only missing half of the base 5* units as an entirely F2P player. :psyduck:

How exactly does he compare to Cecil? Mine's been stuck at 4* waiting for the burst pots from this even to come out, but now I'm kind of tempted to just focus on leveling WK Noel since my only other fully leveled tank is Demon Rain, and seems to be getting less useful as event and trial bosses put out more and more damage.

hi how are you?
there was this racist piece of shit in your av so I fixed it
you're welcome
pay it forward~
I think I'm done with using lapis for pulls, even the daily, and will start using it solely for refreshes and TM grinding.
I'm never gonna see a 5* base anyway.

Meanwhile I haven't grinded a single TM but have literally every unit needed to max out 6* firion whenever he comes out. A fully TM'd Firion will be the best of the non5*s right?

edit: some math


Firion 5 Star
FFBEDB Unit Calculator

Right Hand: Sakurafubuki +98ATK
Left Hand: Kaiser Knuckles +101ATK
Head: Black Cowl +28ATK+25DEF+25SPR+100%Sleep
Accessory 1: Champion's Belt +30ATK/DEF & 20%ATK/DEF w/ Fist weapon
Accessory 2: Bracer +30ATK+15%HP
Ability 1: Dual Wield Equip two single handed weapons
Ability 2: Blade Mastery +50% ATK Katana
Ability 3: Seal of Destruction +20% ATK +20%MAG +10%HP
Esper: Ifrit HP:4500 MP:2200 ATK:5100 DEF:2800 MAG:2100 SPR:2100

Total Stats: HP: 3746 MP: 172 ATK: 561 DEF: 230 MAG: 145 SPR: 150

This is 5*. I am missing Brave Suit, Power of Creation, and a second Champion's Belt which would be better, but aren't critical IMO.
Firion 5* has 118 Total Base attack (with pots). 6* has 158 total base attack.

ATK bonuses:
+10% (Base)
+30% with Knuckles (6* Ability)
+20% with Knuckles (Champion Belt)
+20% with Katana (6* Ability)
+50% with Katana (Blade Mastery)
+20% (Seal of Destruction)
---
150% ATK bonus so 395 before gear.
Gear:
+101 (Knuckles)
+98 (Katana)
+28 (Black Cowl)
+30 (Champion Belt)
+30 (Bracer)
---
287 with gear. + 395 base = 682
Total atk with ifrit: 733
Total atk with Diabolos: 697

And for fun, assuming you did have a second Champion Belt, Power of Creation, and Brave Suit: 804 attack with Ifrit, 768 Diabolos

I am assuming 4th ability will have to be Barrage.
