So I have the Furion, the Chizuru, the Bartz, and the CoDfish. (Also Noctis)

Naturally all my best stuff (basically dual wield) is on Noctis. Of the others, which should I be trying to turn into my secondary DPS?

If you've got 2 Lockes, get two rising suns and get CoD maxed. He's so versatile with comeback and Omniveil.

No Lockes, go cheese whiz.

I have two Lockes, but my priority when I start macros again is still joining the 800 club with Noctis if I eventually can so I can finally also help out goons

I genuinely wonder if pre -enhancements that a fully BiS Yun is better than the equivalent Firion. Does access to blade mastery + innate killers outdo Yuns kit?

The flexibility is also real nice. If you want to do something besides Wind damage, Firion is a lot easier to rejigger.

Vax, just out of curiosity, what happens if you give Yun Equip Spear and the Twin Lance? It's ludicrous that his normal attack is 4 hits as it is, but I want to see if it's possible to hit Auto and let Yun attack for a solid 2 minutes a turn. Or even add an Aurora Scarf on top of that for maximum normal attacks.

I know that Twin Lance and Aurora Scarf do not stack, I don't know about either of those and his passive, though.

There's a Firion on my friends list with around 860 attack (it's a 100% BiS Firion). Against anything his killer passives apply to that Firion should be considerably better than Yun.

Im feeling the pinch of tilith being a mediocre healing right now as content keeps getting harder and she still lingers without a 6*. I have no refia but I do have a luka. I really dont know If I should burn through all my gigantuars to get her up if I could be spending them in a week or two on 6* wol

Also the lack of having concrete proof that enhancements are going to reach here. Lukas are actually really interesting

I think Refia wins out with dual cast, because Luka's heal is an ability not white magic. But Luka's heal cures most ailments and bypasses the "no white magic" limit on some stages.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
Trials of Love ELT will remain unfinished, but if I'd been significantly luckier with pulls and gotten into TM macroing long before January this year it would have been done day one. Despite knowing the patterns and keeping track, loving piece of poo poo Asscracksas RNG. March of Beasts done without deaths though..

drat I really wish I could tm macro. I've got a Firion but with only 1 dual wield and no Zidanes left since I accidentally smooshed them together I'm thinking I'm probably better off letting it ride on my noctis. Don't have any other tms atm although I am getting somewhat close to an Excalibur or double hand depending on which one I spend some moogles on. It takes a whole slew of stuff to make Firion top out over noctis right?

I don't have most of the units for that earlier list, so I'm guessing my time is better off spent on getting 1 or 2 more tms for noctis rather than 4 or 5 or 6 or 8 for Firion. How do you guys think he would do with something like doublehand enluei of dual wield and a single tm sword? Is it better to stick as much as I can on noctis or try and spread the love a little bit and try to get both of them somewhat respectable? Noctis is at 626 right now fully potted up, which is not awful or anything and hopefully Excalibur will bump that up a tick soon

My computer is old, and my Nox instance freezes up after 4 or 5 hours, but thats plenty enough for a respectable macro.

My graphics card won't run nox it just crashes immediately. poo poo I'm still running Vista so it's a good ten years old. Too broke at the moment to justify buying new stuff just to run a macro for a phone game, but I don't think my resolve is going to hold out much longer. Doubly so if I end up landing a orlandoofus or some other super guy. Shoot I don't even know how much cards are these days anyway. I should probably just invest in a new tower soon regardless. There's got to be something passable out there nowadays for a few hundred that will be nice and relatively up to date

I'm telling this again and again: You don't necessarily have to macro 247 if you don't burn Lapis.

Just calculate your downtime for a full refill and boot up your emulator when reached. That's of course not true for scenarios where you know you will be longer away than your calculated downtime is. Or if you are just lazy.

Anyway, it's a good way to grind efficiently if you have an unstable relationship with your emulator. Or just don't want to let your PC running 247.

None of my votes mattered because Noctis will win 5* and Chizuru will win 4* most likely. I already have both so I voted for Luneth and Luka.

I voted Miyuki for 3* because I have yet to pull one and could really use her TMR.

I swear if I don't watch Nox for at least 3 runs it knows because then it'll crash and turn the emulator into a weird checkered screen that requires me to open up task manager and exit out of the process.

EDIT: I voted for Noctis, Gaff and Garland because I don't have them. Shame they don't include global exclusives because I want Yun.

I got two rainbow vaans during the Yun even. It wasn't bad enough they were both troll crystals, they had to both be the same useless rear end in a top hat. :negative: At least this event isn't bad so far. I feel like I'm missing secret passages somewhere though.

i decided to do four pulls to get to exactly 42 tickets and got three 4*s but the only one that was a base 4* was luka, who i don't mind having actually. having luka/refia/ling means i have basically all of the utility and healers i could ever want until riku comes out.

my 3* was guy! so thats okay.
