Noctis has a combo with a couple of his skills doesn't he? Or was that one of the "lol gently caress global" nerfs?

That was one of the "gently caress global" nerfs. None of his skills combo in Global, which lowers him from Orlandu tier to merely loving amazing.

People spoke of one-shotting Dark Fina with 7XX ATK Noctis Point-Warp. I'll be in that league before March :v:
Definitely amazing, would not be that much without all the utility he brings. I've won many battles by all the things that makes him amazing. Lightning's looking old and busted, like she's the friend unit you take when there's no 6* Chiz, Luneth, Noct, Cod, etc

Noctis not having Auto-Refresh in global is the most head scratching thing to me. We already have Auto-Refresh on our 5* base units, would it have killed Noctis to also have it?

I guess his abnormally high MP pool makes it much better than most.

He has multiple other MP refresh tools available, it's not a major issue.

She's also the unit you take when you need to fill those "use X limit bursts" requirements; more attack hits means more crystal drops. It's the one thing her absurdly long animation is good for.

I'm still honestly surprised they didn't make Tilith a 5* base for global. I was honestly expecting them to do so.

The only reason I'm slightly hopeful that they'll un-nerf units like Notics in the future is that Gumi used to do a similar thing with new units in Brave Frontier around the time Zelnite's batch was added where they'd introduce the new units, but only up to their 5* forms and then a few weeks later they'd add the 6* forms for those units. I forget if they ever gave a reason for why they did that stuff but I think it was because global was something like 3-4 unit batches ahead of the content when compared to how they were released in Japan. They eventually stopped but that may have been due to the release of 7* units (and they now have omni evolutions, basically 8*).

Added! Remember to let my 5038 HP Noctis use Fish to draw her interest, he'll tank Dark Kiss and spare the rest of the crew. (or if you already have someone doing that, he can deliver decent damage with Point Warp)

Well, two weeks of type-0 probably means that Ariana Grande is like Maxwell and not in the gacha.

I honestly think she will be given away for free during an event, as a 3*. The event will enable or help you to get her to 5*. She might not have a 6* form at all.

I realize this sounds crazy, but the point of Ariana is to get new players, not for the existing. They need to be able to play with her right away. She is there as a gateway to hook them on the game in general. I don't think their objective is to make her the new Orlandu or Onion Knight.

This seems legit. Best case scenario is that she'll be secretly broken like Black Cat Lid was. Still, Brave Frontier did event-given free collab units all the time and for the most part they're basically newbie stepping stones/collectors units.

Greg may be shallow, but I still wanted him over lightning and luneth.
I cannot wait for Orlandu to hit. I've just been TM grinding for the past month or so besides running though events just enough to get all the rewards. Finally broke 700 atk with greg, and should push it up higher once maxwell, garg, and hayate all finish. Got 2 Lockes I just started as well to make my CoD a monster, and then I may get to work on my wall of Shanattos or Kefkas. So many rewards, such a long grind. Also have 2 more Cecils to work on....

I had an arena match against a team with a D Fina who got the first move. I run 4x Exdeath + Refia and they managed to kill off one of my Exdeaths. No big deal and 3 double meteors later everyone but D Fina was dead and she was at ~15% HP. I wanted to see what her counters were like so I Barraged w/ DW and Golem Staff+Rune Staff equipped Refia. She didn't get stoned or silenced so I'm guessing she had a Ribbon or was super lucky.

Turns out D Fina was wearing Ring of Lucii and she proceeds to pound my Refia's bhole with like 6 Holy casts and manages to kill her from 4.9k max HP outright. She then follows up with a few of her AoE counters and brings the rest of my team within like 600 HP of dying. loving crazy, now I know better than to gently caress with her.

I watched the video with doge vs the kid in the Pokémon hat and felt a little embarrassed for them getting so into it and talking to the phone screen and whatnot. Then the next video was the doge guy pulling 600 loving crystals before her got dark fina...I felt really uncomfortable watching it but couldn't look away mainly because I have never seen that large of a volume of pulls before and I wanted to know what it looked like. But man what a trashy existence talking about how your year is ruined because you spent 2000 bucks and didn't get the "waifu" you wanted along with other super embarrassing commentary and reactions. Kind of makes me not want to play this game on many levels. And one of those levels is ever paying money to Gumi ever again - I think I'm out because that poo poo is rigged.

I find the ziss videos educational. I've gotten enough enjoyment out of this game to shell out money to Gumi but unless you macro TMR (which is an absurd mechanic) there isn't much point.

Holy poo poo altema didnt have all of the new ffbe units yesterday but looking it over today that is some insane power creep. loving dual wield+ materia that gives you dual wield AND bonus to attacks if you are using bladed weapons? Already insane stat bonus that she can further enhanced with a self buff that unlocks her strongest attacks? loving tanky to boot?

Shes like a straight up upgrade to luneth in every regard.

The white mage has loving curagaja, mass revive, stop immunity, full stop cleanse, strong regen, both encourage and meditate and dual white? Like tilith can still support better than her but nothing trumps her flexibility while healing plus shes a huge gently caress you to the stop pvp meta
