got another golden bomb, it appears to replace the second fight. theoretically between it and the guy you cant kill you could get some serious rear end bonus if you got lucky

its just one less click but it is nice

I like the free summon tickets I get and the occasionally good gear. I just wish they were less repetitive. I miss the Mogcake event where you could grind whatever stage you wanted for mats.

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
Welp, threw 8 tickets at the banner hoping to get a headstart on phantoma grinding with some bonus units. Got 3 Cinques and bunch of other 3*s. Was hoping for possibly one gold. :negative: I really hope they open the rest of the Type 0 characters to bonuses next week, like they did with Lightning during the FF13 event. Granted I only got Seven instead of Ace, but even that bonus would be a lot more useful.

Seems like another event where its way faster to take a strong single unit (even a magic user!) and blaze through PRO with as many event bonus units as possible.

Could use some help thinking about teambuilding. I have no TMs. My current teams are Bartz - CoD - Refia - Exdeath - Cecil/Rain (depending on need). Magic team is Cecil - Exdeath - Exdeath - Arc - Ariana. No base 5-stars. Then, in the last week and a half, I lucked out and got Emperor and Olive. I've also got access to most of the recent base 4-stars - Mercedes, Leon, Shine, etc etc. How should I remake my teams?

If you could get the TMs from Olive, Bartz, and Shine and throw them on Olive that would be a good start. If you're not going to do TMs your best bet would probably be to build around Emperor and the 2 Exdeaths. IMO mages tend to be better than physical DPS if you don't have TMs.

Theoretical max at this point is 6 gigantuars, 3 in the final stage, 2 on the 2nd, and 1 on the first. If you can get 2 on the first or 3 on the 2nd it's 7, could even be 8 or 9 if both of those things are true.

He only kills 2 dudes a turn and appears at the very end of the run and always leaves on t3 so even if he snipes a few kills it shouldn't be an issue

Nah just found out the hard way as I hosed up my swipe to defend and smacked him with a Cecil on t2.

I thought you got a 'survival' bonus vs him but it seems not, so I need to craft some steals.

It's also a one time steal of 250 per encounter. Bring back the rabites.

You can also steal from other bosses for 2 whole phantoma a pop!

Also yeah in Japan he dropped 1500 Phantoma if you attacked him and survived. Nerfed to 0 here.

So I've managed to get what, five tickets and probably my last ten half off pulls and literally nothing off a banner. I don't even. But I guess a third Cecil and Miyuki would be OK consolation prizes if I had the lapis to TM grind.

i didn't get a miyuki for so long, got one a few weeks ago, and got another today trying to pull banner units. and a fourth snow :psyduck: and an nth chizuru, i think fourth or fifth now, and my sixth exdeath and cod. it's a shame that multiple cods are extremely hard to gear and her tm sucks.

:eyepop:

It's probably because the info for the 4th dunes stage was added and that stage drops gigantaurs and cactaur clusters (or whatever they're called) which give something like 100k exp. When that stage is available PRO won't be worth it even if you got 6 gigantuars per run.

The 4th stage of the gil turtle was in game for about an hour not long ago too.

If people are having trouble on Elt and don't have a mega Olive or something, I've been having a ton of luck with ling and my 625 Atk noctis using dance of death and fire flask to paralyze the end boss. I have yet to fail to paralyze him and obviously from there the fight is a breeze. So bring dudes that can paralyze if you can't take it down on turn one

Either my units have gotten that much better, or this mog event is a complete pushover

I believe the latter. Not that I'm running with trash really anymore. But an arena mags team definitely makes soup of pro. I ground the Elite with a physical team, and that was not really hard. A bunch of barrage, imperil, breaks, dual casts of magic and healing. Nothing soul crushing likes the last few I wandered into.

I still use Dangerous Gimp Bunny

Hey guys, I'm a new player that just started last week. So far my team is Olive, Butz, Terra, Kefka, and Duane. None of my team is enhanced so far, all of my characters are 3* apart from Olive.

As far as farming goes, should I focus on cactuars till I get max level, or phantom things, and if I get enough phantom things what should I focus on purchasing? I only have a few good swords, so the good sword seems good value, but I'm unsure as to the rest. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!

Also which TM should I focus on with moogles?

Focus on Olives TM first and then Bartz for Olive.

You can "remove" it if you go into the App settings and disable it. It's Settings -> Apps -> Slide over to All. Then scroll down till you find Facebook Lite and clear cache/disable.

I use Nox all day and have never had that thing, so this must fix it.
