I'd like to wait with the Orlandorf pulls with that news but what if you are fated to get him in the first five pulls? What if the stars align and mean for you to get two or more of him with an 11pull? Schrödinger's RNG.

Yeah I'm like 1 or 2 bonus units would be cool but wasting tix that I could put up TG Cids hot rear end? Meh... probably not going to pull at all on this. Maybe Daily once or twice.

I'm doing the same. I'll probably settle for 1 bonus unit from dailies and rely on the generosity of fellow goons' bonus units.

Got Trey for my 1/2 pull and blew through all the levels. The ELT boss is able to be hit with blind and paralyze so Exdeath/Exdeath/Exdeath/Trey/Cecil can walk right through it with an Exdeath clearing the first 3 waves via dualcast thundaga while the others melee to build up an LB for one of the Exdeaths.

I dont see other stuff talkinga bout this yet, so id wait to see when "eventually" is. That said, recent datamine of the global client includes esper terra's TM, and her banner was alongside gacha change, so no idea wtf is going on.

I've gotten so used to a full Melee team that I forgot about my 550Mag ExDeath. He's trivializing this event now. Can wipe all waves in one dual cast.

Time to load up on more bonus units.

Gumi can easily pull a :gumi: and nerf it. Until anything is officially announced, I'm not getting excited about it. But yes it would be loving awesome if it happened. But I have a feeling Gumi is in no rush as long as clowns will livestream $1500 dollars worth of pulls to get Dark Fina.

Just using his LB blinds the boss. I can 2 shot him with my Elza so I completely mitigate the only threat he poses with that leap.

Yeah, I read about that trick and went to give it a shot, but I don't see how you're supposed to target your own people with aoe stuff like Thundaga. I finally caved and started raising a second Exdeath so this would be incredibly useful.

Throw up Carbuncle's Reflect and just Thundaga your team with Exdeath. It'll reflect 5 Thundagas back to the boss. I think you don't want to Dual Cast since the 2nd set will not be reflected and you'll just take damage.

I completely agree with the first part, but I don't think that whale's misery would have been different. If Gumi implement the system Japan has, he still would have had the terrible luck to get 8 off-banner rainbows, they just would have all been base-5* instead of trolls like Rosa and Vanille. For almost everyone else they would be ecstatic to have 8 base-5*, but the whale's gotta have his waifu, so if they're going to chase a banner unit they're still going to drop as much cash as they would in our current system.

Spent a roll on the banner, hoping for a Type-0 unit for Phantoma farming. Ended up with a Chizuru instead. Hey, can't complain.

(Rolled a couple more times after that, got Jack and Trey, so I got pretty much everything I wanted.)

Yeah, it took me 4 tickets to get a Jack so I'm good. If a daily pull gets me another banner character, that's great but not critical.

All sensitivity has long ago atrophied
The difficulty scaling in this game cracks me up. I just broke open into the 3rd map, and every fight is Graviga then some other -aga spell and mobs are wiped. Repeat that 3 or 4 times, get to boss area, and suddenly everything you hit does 1/50th damage.

What I am saying is, basically I got Mad Ochu'd to death for 200 lapis to get the fight over with, WHILE he was on Full Break, Imperil'd, and I had shellga and protectga up...after clearing the other fights with so much a hint of the oncoming difficulty.

Also, what is up with the dramatic change in energy. 2nd map everything was 10+ energy, and now I am back to 6,7,8s

Not really. She's a weird mixed attacker that doesn't really boost either type of attack too well and has stupidly limited equip options. Her TMR's pretty solid, though. I guess she could be made usable with Letters To Arms, but that's about it.

There was this weird energy growth where they realized people couldn't clear content fast enough because it'd take 60 energy to get 4/6 through a level.

I'm glad they equalized it.

The difficulty difference between trash and bosses explodes with Veritas of the Air or so and you should prioritize using your super/whale friends for boss stages. You can oneshot the trash phases without issue then hit the boss and do damage like you're chiseling a rock with your face. It's really annoying.

1st question: who would be better served with Dual-wield (with no other TM stuff)? Chizuru, Bartz, Mercedes, or Dracula Laswell? I have some TM stuff (Bracer x2, Excal, StQ) but they're on a Lightning. Maybe just put the DW on whoever matches up with the boss of the week's weakness?

2nd: next round of TMs? I won't list everything I have (basically every non-5* base), but in general should I keep grinding stuff for Lightning or toast a batch for my Dark Fina? Will do 4 items/abilities and then question 2a: either DW#2 or Dual-cast #2? I already have 2 Lightnings and one DW so there aren't many occasions (yet?) I'd bust out a 4th melee damage dealer but I also have 3 ExD's and Dark Fina so I'm set with native damage DC and Refia has the regular DC. Maybe neither?

Boo man there's nothing more aggrivating than finally getting one of those loving rainbows only for it to be straight garbage. I won't see another one for ages now great. Perhaps the only thing more aggrivating is accidentally smooshing my other Zidane together when I was dropping my moogles on the ones I've been manually grinding. Which is an absolute bitch by the way. I did so many earth shrine runs my thumbs are going to fall off. And I lost my other dual wield. Damnit.

I guess it's not the end of the world since I can't tm farm now anyway and probably won't be able to for at least another couple months but it still sucks a big fat weiner. God today is just not my loving day drat.

I guess on the plus side my noctis now has dual wield. He doesn't have an insanely high attack but hitting twice sure does help.
