Yeah, the western tier list usually rates easier to equip characters higher than others, but even in altema and with other characters having their enhancements out she'd still outpace a ton of the highly rated dps units.

Like just as she is right now she'd be higher than luneth in altema.

If doublehand stacked over here, she'd be the #1 unit bar none with TMs, I think.

If they do change Leon's TM to stack, I wonder if they'll ever change doublehand to stack.

Also on the subject of enhancements, if/when we get them, I wonder what they'll do about global exclusives. I can't help but feel like they'll show their donut steel OC's some preferential treatment.

I spent some of my remaining lapis on a final 5k pull and the game rewarded my faith! 2x Mercedes, another gaff and ingus. Oh, and Olive. I think this is my single best roll yet, and now I need to increase my slots.

So there's no dungeon that will give me more light megacrysts?

If I get 10 fire, 10 lightning, 20 earth, 100 wind, and 1 light in the fire shrine, and 0 of everything except 2 light in another dungeon, I'd rather run the other dungeon.

LoL money. You poor non-macro players.

You're really going to hate life when enhancements come around.

For an actual solution though:

Do a friend point summon and fuse them together to make one of the 1* guys max level. Sell him. Repeat.

Dont use small cactuars for high level enhancement and instead feed them as trash to your other units.

Perhaps combine the two above posts onto one super post where you take the baby cactuars from the maze and feed them to friends units to sell.

Has any whaler/youtuber/streamer promised to grind for Ring of Dominion's 70 required trophies? I see myself getting to 61 trophies with just a matter of very reasonable time but 70 blows my mind.

If you're in a hurry, the Windy Heights (West) has given me 2-3 on most runs and if you're not grinding out EXP (around 68k or so for the full area) it's really fast. Takes 11 stamina.

I need to get some dark megacrysts and start cooking a pair of Ruler Rings, then farm more mats so I can make more ruler rings out of the 6 hero rings I have.


But that'd mean not running maze... which is so very quick and easy for getting Refia the last20 levels she needs...

There's no point in grinding those trophies ASAP because getting the rare materials for making even one ring is going to take longer. Most whales in Japan don't have an Exceed/Dominion ring. You might as well pretend they don't exist because you aren't going to see one within the next year or two without the most obscene luck imaginable, thousands of hours of grinding materials, or injection hacks (which is how anyone has gotten them in Japan so far, IIRC).

Which stacks with her TM gun. But I think what they mean is in JP you can equip multiple double hand materia and be god-king of damage.

Yeah I've had her forever, no Mizuki though so my only katanas are Murasame and Chirijiraden. Either way I have to get TMs farmed up but I'm getting Refia to 100 before going to the TM grind.
