I did not expect Type-0 banner. I expected skipping it all. Ace's got a 30% MAG and 20% MP TM Seven's TM is a ribbon, Jack's TM "fills LB gauge while in battle" (?), Trey 20% boost to MAG and SPR.

Then they mislinked "Akademia" to point to the Type-0 characters pic, so whatever was that event like in JP?
e: they corrected the link, it's a Mog King grind event, BGN x1 summon ticket, INT 200 Phantoma, ADV 300 Phantoma, PRO 500 Phantoma, ELT 500 lapis. Trust Moogle to be had!
And two really lovely weapons and a lovely accessory that haven't been improved for the time into the game which we get them compared to JP.

Get Ace for 100% bonus of Phantoma drops, Seven for 75% bonus, friend unit them if you get them and you will be loved. I'm all out of Gigantaurs but even at lv1 they will be welcomed and I will switch to one for a companion unit.

Chances are that it's two weeks, then, and that the second week they might roll the second FF Type-0 banner in alongside the first, with Queen (literally the worst Base 5*), Nine, Cinque, and Eight.

Well at least you get to horde more tickets for the TG Friday.

So what global exclusive abilities do the Type-0 guys have? Because as they are right now, without enhancements, they are pretty trash.

Looks like another week off from daily pulls, and another event to only grind out moogles/tickets/quartz/cactuars/6*mats. Hi5's all around everybody.

Only reason to pull is for bonus multiplier characters to accelerate the grind, if the currency droprates are tasteful that is.

e: 9999 phantoma for the trust moog? If the dropoff after first completion isn't obscenely bad, sure. 1000 per summon ticket. 4800 for the artefact.

The artifact and the twinspell materia look to be the only must haves. After that, the usual order probably applies: tickets, quartz, gigantaurs, moogle, and 6 star mats as needed.

If the Doublicorn appears as commonly as Metal Gigantuars/Metal Gods, then even then it's not too bad; that's three and change. That's about as many as you'd be expected to see with "normal" luck through the two weeks, so.

I can see the artifact, but I definitely wouldn't classify twinspell as "must have" it's 2% mp over a currently craftable materia, which in all likelihood you will be replacing with one of the other, more mag, options. Even on Dark Fina and ExDeath it's only ~38mp.

I use a lot of MAG +10% on my four ExDeath team, so the additional MP boost is nice, but I see your point. It depends on who you have and whether you've farmed up a bunch of Shantoto TM's.

Delita has a -40% DEF Break and -40% SPR Break, a juiced up Focus, and Barrage, on top of having access to pretty much every common melee weapon type and a few uncommon ones.

Queen has a juiced up Barrage, Curaja, and a few magic attacks she can't make effective use of since her best MAG weapon is the Enhancer - she can only equip swords, greatswords, and daggers. Oh, and she gets an ATK boost if she ever drops stupidly low on HP (less than 3%, according to the reddit wiki)... except you lose said boost if she dies or after 3 turns, whichever comes first.

Keep in mind that being the worst Base 5* doesn't exclude her from being a Base 5*... she's still better than most more common units, she's just got very little she can do on her own.

New FFBE characters are going to be popping up in japan soon.

From what I understand its a 5 star base healer with dual white, curaja, curaga and has reraise. Her limit break fully restores your party, brings them back from death and cleanses all status effects including stops. Her TM gives whoever is equipped with it auto regen, auto refresh, auto limit.

The other is a physical base 4* attacker thats a combo style character which we haven't really gotten any like yet (I think Prishe was the first one?). Your follow up attacks properties change depending on the last skill used. He chain based with his attacks doing multiple hits. You can choose single target or aoe finishers for your combos. His trust reward is a male exclusive shirt that gives +20% mp, +20 attack and 32 Defense.

The third character is a *4 red mage that has 4 different attribute attacks that also buff her resistances while using them. What makes her unique is her ability to give your party stop immunity through an ability. Her limit break hits the enemy with a barrage of magic while giving your party resistances for those 4 elements (fire, ice, wind and light). Her TM is a fantastic 100 atk 84 matk sword for hybrids.

It sounds like they maybe incorporated some of Aces enhancements straight into his default form so things like tri-lacer will hit as hard as ultima by default with the possibility of hitting wwaaaaaay harder if you are lucky, if it also gains the elemental resistance shred then he will have a particular niche. He is a high sustain magic unit character, sort of like Emperor.

Okay, JP Doublicorn has 600k HP, does not attack until below 99% HP, Mirage Vest Cecil is one way to take care of that problem and leave it up for DPS.
