Yun is really strong and even if this new normal attack meta doesn't pan out he still has the more traditional elemental link meta going on both with his fire shred attack and his 10 hit chocobo one. His shred would have to be a little bit stronger to match orlandus, but if you already have a unit that can shred the enemy stronger then he can let her rip.

Don't look at Ling as an offensive unit. She's a solid support unit that can occasionally nuke something if the fight drags on for too long. She can charge her limit quickly and then entrust it, or if you have Yun in your party then you can act as the res shredder while he unleashes his elemental chain

Xiao is a really decent budget unit. Has AOE, breaks, highish inate str, can counter a lot and has attack buff that stacks with other sources. If only her 50% attack boost wasn't linked to being unarmed

Yun and Ling's self-attack buffs assumedly only work for autoattacks (it says next normal attack).

Well, something like Barrage, still uses "normal" attack, just multiple times, and anything normal attack procs will proc multiple times. In the Wiki you can see if a move is "normal attack" type.

I'm not sure I'd rank Xiao that high - she sure can hit hard but has very little to do it with.

Then again, I'm not sure where they ranked Snow, which is about where I'd place her.

Hmm, from the maintenance thread, The New Year's Trial has a bunch of changing daily quest completion rewards, and they aren't your typical Lapis rewards. The main Trial (Great Nian Beast Attacks) itself that's seperate from the rotating daily ones also rewards a Jeweled Ring (in addition to the news board's rewards for the most difficult version of the event), which I'm happy about, since my only copy of Jeweled Ring is permanently stapled to Cecil.

Notable quest rewards from the daily Nian Beast Attacks Event I see:

Day 1 - Mostly evo mats, some gigantaurs, and Megacite. Nothing special.
Day 2 - Summoning Ticket, 2x Power Pots
Day 3 - +15% HP Materia
Day 4 - Scroll of Acumen (??), +20% MP Materia
Day 5 - Summoning Ticket
Day 6 - Summoning Ticket, Soul Pot
Day 7 - 110 lapis, 3x Magic Pot, 2x Tough Pot

Edit: Also 60 lapis every day just from the completes for the 3 difficulties, excluding day 7 that has 50 more lapis on top of that.

Why would they nerf Doublehand? Becuase it's Gumi. I just get the feeling that if Orlandu ever comes, he's gonna be nerfed hard.

They haven't nerfed any character that hasn't been Noctis, and that was because Noctis was a new addition simultaneously released on both JP and GL to differing game states.

Orlandu doesn't look like he needs a nerf considering how mobage games work. Plus, yeah, the only nerfed character was Noctis. Hell, I think most rebalancing stuff in Global were buffs.

Orlandu is the linchpin of the elemental chain meta and since his release Gumi has not given a gently caress about it and has continuously released more and more characters capable of doing exactly what he does and sometimes even better than him.

How does it not benefit people to trick other people they're directly competing against into losing? I'd be pretty happy if everyone who played against my arena team lost.
