Luka will probably rank in second to Refia on the healer list. She's lacking full raise and Refia's built immunity to most status effects, but otherwise is very solid. Like Refia, get her a dualcast and she becomes elite.

Edit: Actually, I just realized that dualcast may not work with her best heal, it's a special ability and not Curaja. That's going to be real disappointing if true.

It wont. Its exactly the same as Tilith.

She's a better healer than all of the none 6* healers right now and better than none dual casting santa roselia and refia, but she lags behind some of the stronger healers. Specially those that can make use of dual cast better, or the insane healing units like Tilith 6*s.

Sorry of this has been posted before, but has anyone had any luck fixing the bug where the game is stuck in "tutorial mode?" I just downloaded the game yesterday and noticed that I was unable to go to any area I'd cleared previously, can't change my party or use abilities, and my party is unable to die (stuck at 1hp if taking damage), among other things. I've already sent one support ticket to Gumi where they recommended reinstalling the game, re-connecting it to Facebook (I neglected to mention in my support ticket I had done all of this already). I sent a follow-up and haven't heard back yet.

I can't tell if you're joking or if you're actually throwing a fit because of a desire for mobile game purity that has never existed and never will but it seems an awful lot like the latter because you seem to hate many of the core things that drive these kinds of games. You might want to stop posting and try another game if you're actually getting bent out of shape over this stuff.


Most mobile games would kill to have collabs with major Nintendo IPs. If Nintendo came to SE and Gumi and said "hey we want to do a Mario/Zelda collab with you guys in FFBE" you can bet your rear end Gumi would do all they could to make it happen and that they'd make a killing off of it as well.

As someone with Santa Roselia I'd trade her for Luka in an instant. Luka gets Raise and much more useful abilities. Santa Roselia's big thing is her counters, which are ok but not great by any means.

I'm deeply worried for my goon bros if you guys actually took anything on that matter seriously.

For everyone in here it's crystal clear that we could see a Teletubbie collab in 2018 bringing the pink one as world first 7*. And yes I would whale hard on it.

Speaking of which, where the heck are the FF7 characters in this game? Seems weird to leave them out for this long.

No FFVII or FFVIII characters is super weird and no Yuna either despite getting two different rounds of FFX characters.

Cloud is probably going to be the lead power creep unit for 7* sometimes later, probably when the VII-R1 comes out.

FF7 will probably show up for the first 7* units or something along those lines. Or maybe Gumi learned from their gently caress ups in Brave Frontier and won't increase the max unit tier every year on average.

There are 3 (well 4 if you count one that you cant get anymore) units that can effectively use doblehand to greater effect than dual wield. Garland 6*, Hunter Rain and Hunter Laswell. All 3 of them are solid dps units that are cheaper to gear than other whale baits but none of which exists in global right now.

e-Well as with the client differences, we dont know how much weight the japanese put in being able to equip various double hands on the character for insane gains in raw attack something we cant do in global.

A mario RPG collab would actually be cool, since Square does own all of the Mario RPG originals as far as I'm aware. Geno, Mallow and Mario as the banner with a Culex boss event. I'd be down for that.

Enemies don't use MP for any ability or skill. Osmose exists solely to give you a small amount of MP or to shut down opponents in the arena. Sometimes. If the game feels like it since arena AI opponents can also ignore MP requirements. :argh:

Used to play Heavenstrike Rivals, a mobile gacha line defense styled game (think Plants vs Zombies, but turn-based). Adam Jensen never asked to be in this.

Come to think of it, I'd kill for any crossovers with non-RPG S-E franchises, just to be different. We don't really need Lara Croft what with Lightning, but give me Adam Jensen and Agent 47. Maybe give me Omikron characters, just to piss people off. It's owned by them on account of being an Eidos work, right?

Nah, focus on your murdersquad first. Locke isn't gonna clear content, he'll just help when farming drops (aka 90% of that is just the Vortex of Awakening). Leave leveling him for a rainy day or something. Get your best characters up so you can clear content, advance the story, and be able to do stuff that improves your team like events or trials.

e: Also there's no cap for sacred crystals. The RNG is just a colossal rear end in a top hat with them nowadays. Awakening INT sounds like the most efficient way to get them, although I have abhorrent luck and stick to PRO.

If it's not a physical ability, dual wield does nothing but give stats.

If it's a unique ability, dual cast will also do nothing. To know if dual cast will function, check the magic screen to see if what you want to use is there (or look for the relevant little orb next to the spell name).

Thanks to macro grinding I have the Genji Glove and Blade Mastery finally. Next up should be Dual Cast within the week. Maybe Excalibur and Sakurafubuki in a week and a half. After that it'll be Gaffgarion's Bracer, Maxwell's Power of Creation, and Karl's Seal of Destruction. Those are just about to be rotated in though so it'll be a while.

But eventually I'll be a whale friend.
