Decided to do a 1/2 pull even though I somehow pulled Queen yesterday: Gold Crystal - Nine  Eight, Nine, Queen, Exdeath, Exdeath can clear ELT with the only risk being if neither Exdeath manages to paralyze the boss with their LB, which should be extremely rare since their LBs are level 2 and level 10. Fight setup is to focus down the 3 soldiers in round 1 with melee, then both exdeaths doublecast thunaga on the following waves while everyone else keeps doing melee attacks for more LB crystals if needed. Nine's also using the twin lance. My last run used a non-friend level 1 5* queen as my buddy and didn't have any problems. Queen's using enhancer+coral sword so even though she's only ~530atk she does probably 120-150k to the boss with devastate and elemental chains with the Exdeath Thundagas. Don't have a machine killer materia for her, sadly.

I setup my Olive with double Man-Eater at 1008 ATK to kill Nimbus if anyone wants to give it a shot. There's no reason not to really since he can't wipe your party if you go in with at least 5 people alive.

So, I just pulled my 2nd Shine off a ticket pull. From the type-0 banner. After spending 30+ tickets on the Global unit banner trying to get another one of her. ......Sure, gently caress it. Whatever.

I'll be posting an updated spreadsheet of non-whale 6* characters in a bit. Some of the Altema ratings have changed, plus ExviusWiki adjusted some of their own. None of the current easy 6* units are god tier anymore, though ExviusWiki now has an emerging bias toward whale units. In other words, 4*/6* units like Cecil are underrated by 0.5 on the Global side. Nine is almost a full point below where he should be, given the fact that he was buffed quite a bit for global. His Hyper Dive still hits for a good 300k against our current Elite boss Brionac, and twice if he's dual wielding. We also have easy access to a good selection of elemental spears, so their comment about elemental exploitation is a bit off base. Varance fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Mar 5, 2017 |

I looked at some of our Queens and... wow, she really is bad huh? Even with some of the people here giving her a full BiS TM setup her stats never get that high. Which makes me wonder, how much of her damage output is contingent on her Berserk activating? How does that damage boost work, and does it stack with everything else? If nothing else, I can foresee her being useful in some trials with "Summon Esper" requirements, because hitting a boss 10 times while still doing ok damage is a pretty attractive proposition.

I find those sites hilarious now. I read in here that player X is awesome. I go to investigate more and one website says they are mediocre, while the other considers them trash. I don't know what to think about this game. In other news I am going to dick around with Intangir tomorrow. Then i am going to grind the gently caress out of the event. Sword, mace, tickets, a handful more mats for Marie awakening, trust moogle(s).

Yes, because Nine is suuuuch a lovely character for a 4* base. He's only capable of doing 200,000 on a hardened target immune to defense breaks every third turn with generic story quest gear.  Refia Embolden, let Ling do her thing while he's in the air. Outside of completely broken units like Orlandu, he's very comparable to a Bartz or Chizuru, has great AoE that picks up weapon elements, with a weapon set that includes a lot of elemental weaps, plus has powerful single target damage and *cannot* be damaged while using them. Only downside is that you need Refia for the extended duration attack boost to make him truly sing.   Bonus Cactuar massacre:

Welp after grabbing all the tickets from this event and tossing them on olives banner I've now passed 120 tickets and no rainbows. Keep telling myself I have to be due for one soon but then reality just comes crashing back down. Now I'm bummed out I burned through my whole drat ticket stash before players banner and now I have zero shot at a Gregg or 2nd noctis. Boo. I do however have several tms close enough to moogle over the finish line. Would I be better off getting dual wield for one of my secondary damage units like chiz, or should I go for something to enhance my noctis like Excalibur? I could also get doublehand too, as well as noctis ring. Basically I'm wondering if I'm better off souping noctis up or trying to spread it around a little on cheese Forgot to mention, I don't tm farm so it's one tm at a time for me when I manage to stash enough moogle to top someone off

I'd juice up Noctis first. He can carry a whole team on his back and makes it easy to complete trials and special events which snowballs into getting your other guys beefed up.

Dana Crysalis posted:This does not work. Had Twin Lance on, Hyper Dive only hit once. Why must you get my hopes up like that? Either way, dual wield DOES double his damage (qcontrol's friend unit has this), and there's an accessory coming down the pipe later in the main story that adds a second High Jump passive, giving Hyper Dive an effective 4050% multiplier when dual wielding. If you don't mind a unit that disappears for half the battle before hitting like a truck...  Edit: This also get more insane when we get the Dragoon fix, allowing for elements and killer effects to pass through and shorter duration buffs to stick while in flight. Once enhancements roll around, Nine is capable of soloing elite bosses. His double recovery gains refresh/regen, which ticks *while he's in the air*. As long as he can survive a single round of attacks, he's nigh invincible with that upgrade + another auto-regen thrown on top. Some videos, for your enjoyment. Keep in mind that, as solo, there are no buffs or debuffs in play, other than auto protect/shell and said auto-refresh/regen from the enhancement. Also, our Nine is buffed and is stronger than the JP Nine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SWNNbDlp-g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBzOGwPckuE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUPbp3OWYPo Varance fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Mar 5, 2017 |

Been playing for a month or so and I am currently using 6* Bartz for physical damage, also I dont have any TMR's yet. Also remember that Warrior of Light and Lasswell should be getting their 6* forms this month, and both are great characters to have at 6* Edit: As promised earlier, updated F2P character charts. Roles are going to be controversial, depending on the character. I tried to set them for the primary reason why you'd bring a character. For example, why do you bring Cloud of Darkness over Chizuru or Bartz, who also have Barrage? Yeah, she's got Man-Eater traits, but Onmiveil and Return are the bigger draw - both are support skills. The "equivalent score" is simply pegging a 14.0 on Exvius Wiki (the rating Orlandu will probably have) to a 98 rating on Altema... in other words, ExvWiki Rating x 7. As I mentioned before, Exvius Wiki is starting to skew ratings heavily in the favor of 5* whale units and undervaluing recognized good 3*/4* base units. To counter the skew, I'm rating units based on the average of the two. The truth has to be somewhere in the middle, right? Right?

This is my Queen's final form, let me know if there's some better way, but I don't have much MAG TM gear beyond a dualcast.  After this event, she's going in the display case permanently. If I don't feed her to Bedile once her TM is grinded...

Oh a 5 star crystal! It's delita! Literally second only to Queen in how poo poo he is. I would have taken the queen over him just for the extra phantoma Hell I bet he's more poo poo than her given lack of enhancements and queens minor buffs My previous rainbow was garnet, and I'm thinking she might have been a better pull than him just because she has more potential whenever they decide to update the ffix units with 6* versions Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 11:55 on Mar 5, 2017 |

One thing about these charts is that God and Top are used way to frequently and they sort of lose their meaning. I'd never put any other healer but Ayaka and Tilith in the "God" or highest tier of healers, while Refia and Yshtola can be top. Luka and Aria might be a peg lower than those two, because the are less flexible and dont scale as well, even though enhanced Luka has her own niche that can be useful. For stat boosting/healing support Ramza and Roy are both way higher than other ones in their role. For elemental resistance buffing nothing is as strong as Marie, its a particular niche that isn't really that useful, but she's way better at that role than Minfilia. Rikku provides just enough elemental resist to be good at this role, while proving a tone more support and damage elsewhere to make her an overall better unit than either of them. Tanks are probably the hardest to classify because all of the good tanks can fit into particular niches, but the total package of WoL cannot be beaten.

Tanks are probably the hardest to classify because all of the good tanks can fit into particular niches, but the total package of WoL cannot be beaten. If it's more pleasing, I can switch over to the American-style ABCDF terminology and reserve A+ for those units that truly stand out (97+ average rating; in other words, nothing that's 3* or 4* base except maaaaaybe Rikku, assuming her GL form doesn't get the Noctis bat). Fake edit: Also, for those lists, I'm not counting limited-time units that aren't in the general lapis pool. Ling, Santa Roselia, Cupid Artemios, Primm and Dangerous Arianna all fall into that category. I'll add them to a separate list eventually, but it's pointless to plan around them if you don't have them since A) it might be months/years until they can be pulled again and B) we tend to miss a lot of collabs. I would not expect to see the Imperial SaGa collab, and the Monster Hunter collab is iffy at best. Varance fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Mar 5, 2017 |

He's literally doublehand Lightning with slightly more element coverage, as he can hit Dark, plus Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. He can also inflict Dark weakness. He is a hell of a budget beatstick, especially if you run some others who can either hit or inflict dark damage. If you -have- the dual wields, though, he's not going to hate having one. Unfortunately, without Doublehand stacking, that's not really enough to make him as absurdly long term useful as Warrior of Light's tanking and AOE breaks.

Every one of these events reminds me that it would be really great if you could upgrade the unit bonus by awakening event characters and might make people more likely to try out/improve event units. It's a really good, obvious idea that would make the grind less bad though so it will never happen I guess.

My current team of Not 6★, But Slowly Getting There* is Cecil, Xiao, Exdeath, Gilgamesh, and Refia. Based on this, I should switch my team from to Xiao > Firion, and Gilgamesh > Cloud Of Darkness, right? Then, when their respective 6★ upgrade unlocks, replace Cecil > Warrior Of Light, and Refia > Fina? *That is, all 5 units on my team can be promoted to 6★, as soon as I get the required materials.

Firion is basically an inferior Gilgamesh for most purposes. Firion is better than Xiao, though, especially if you have a (second) dual wield to give him (your first should be on gilgamesh). Warrior of Light will absolutely be better than Cecil once he releases, and Fina gets some crazy poo poo at 6 stars. I'm confused why you've got all these not at 6 stars yet, though, when the upgraded cactuar dunes have been up all weekend. Just stockpiling? No awakening mats?

No, you'd actually benefit more from keeping Xiao over swapping her for firion because you dont have a breaker in that team and at least Xiao can debuff attack and defense (Unless you happen to have everything to turn Firion into a beast). You shouldn't switch out a gilgamesh for a CoD unless you NEED elemental resists. And a kit out Refia will still be better than a 6* even with two sets of enhancements. Once WoL comes out then you can easily tag him in place of Cecil and then you can switch out Xiao for someone else.

As a matter of fact, except for Gilgamesh, everyone on my team is currently 4*. Now I have to play catchup, but I don't mind.
