What the hell kind of team and set of TMs do you have?

e: oh right I forgot about the people who managed to pull Ling nevermind
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXge4jIHxEE
over 60 pulls going after her did me no good

Noctis (Ifrit, 780 ATK)
Cecil (Fire Shield, Jeweled Ring, 7300 hp)
Elza (680 ATK, Doublehand)
Ling
Refia (Dualcast)
Friend Whomever Is On Ifrit (Yun/Noctis preferred)

Got him below 50% again, so at least I know that it's Radiant Plume that kills me. Well, Radiant Plume and if he follows it up with 2 more aoes.

The main problem is that he's killing the gently caress out of Refia regularly. I almost want to toss a Moogle on Charlotte so I can give Refia a Flame Sheild, but there has to be a better way.

You absolutely need to MAG break Ifrit turn 1 and cast Barfira/Barfiraga to stand a chance. And even then he sometimes just goes aoe crazy.

Same here, even when Cecil's Provoke is up! :argh:

PRO goes down like a sack of hammers with ease, barely 5% damage taken to my gang. We earn no matter how poorly we do but it is clear from JP that PRO is the best grind.

Yeah unless you're a mega whale and can reliably take down ELT, should probably stick to PRO. That 7k ape is no joke.

Did an 11 pull on the Player's Choice Banner. I actually pull a rainbow, but it's Emperor. That makes me 3 for 3 with my rainbows being off-banner.

Thanks Gumi.

Praise be to the support class. gently caress bringing a Noctis/Yun friend, Marie all the way. Also, I gave Refia a Flame Shield which solved her survivability problems instantly.

(not pictured: the previous turn in which I almost lost when Ifrit killed both Noctis and Marie)

So I do my half price daily pull and get a Zidane. Figuring I would try my luck again I did a ticket pull: Amaranth and a 3* moogle.

I go to get smushing and the game says that the daily moogle is the "wrong trust" for my 34% Zidane

I can survive a couple of rounds, but I effectively have no attack... PRO it is.

As long as I either draw or get a Y'shtola with the limited time awakening materials, I'm good. already drew a Minfilia.

Nuebot posted:

:negative: I had to spend 300 lapis on more slots, that's the sheer volume of moogles I still have.

Also neat trick, if you use escape you "win". So hit Ifrit on elite with a bunch of magic, escape and get some free lapis if you can't beat it. I sure as hell can't so I'll take the lapis to make up for the huge loss I just took.

Yeah, this works.

Gear up with as much fire resistance as you can and keep that fire debuff of his off your party and barfiraga up. Also have something to block paralyze.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put something on your friend unit to block paralyze if at all possible! And give them Ifrit. You can assign Ifrit to your chosen friend on a different group and it won't interfere with whom you assign Ifrit to on your main team.

Here's Kongbakpao's guide.
http://ffbe.kongbakpao.com/march-on-ifrit/

F2P Team – The idea is to deal as much damage as possible. It does not matter if you can’t beat the boss. However, your team should be able to do more than 1.5m damage. If not, you’re better off doing PRO mode. Remember, the key is to prevent yourself from getting paralyze and stack Fire Resistance.



List of fire resistance gear:

Item Type Fire resistance Where to get?

Ifrit Esper ↑ 50% Complete Ifrit Quest

Flame shield Heavy shield ↑ 50% Town of Kolts
Surging Volcano – Exploration

Force Shield Heavy shield ↑ 10% Town of Amore (Fat Chocobo)

Soul Crown Hat ↑ 5% Event – Mana Mystery

Minerva Bustier Cloth ↑ 30% TM – Celes

Crimson Slayer Light Armor ↑ 25% TM – Yun

Flame Mail Heavy Armor ↑ 50% Fire Key – 3
Timber Tracks – Exploration

Force Armor Heavy Armor ↑ 10% Trial – Chimera

Rainbow robe Robe ↑ 30% TM – Marie

Fire Ring Accessories ↑ 5% Recipe – Royal Capital Grandshelt

Blaze Ring Accessories ↑ 10% Chest – Lanzelt Ruins – Exploration
Dwarves Forge – Exploration

Red Ring Accessories ↑ 15% Fire Key – 9

Infernal Armlet Accessories ↑ 20% TM – Demon Rain

Just you wait, the union is gonna hear about this.

If I'm running this in iOS, is TM macroing impossible? (It seems to be exclusively android emulators.)

I now have 6 zidanes and a noctis from this banner, and I'm wondering if I should fuse them all together to get DW on noctis faster or just run earth shrine a lot manually.

Also, thanks to all the generous goons that have friended me!

I played on iOS and run Memu an Android emulator to macro. You just have to attach a Facebook account to it and add your Facebook account on Memu.

If you're willing to fuse 5 of them together you only need to get them up to around 16% each first (16 * 5 + 5 *4) which still takes awhile but is a lot less painful than getting one guy from 25% to 100%. Still gonna take awhile manually but that's the fastest route without using trust moogles.

1st round: buff that poo poo
Warcry
Omniveil
Focus (for reasons)
Undermine
Barrage
Grapeshot

Then I just healed with Cecil and had Rain Leadership then everyone barrages until Olives 3rd turn curb stomps.

Got 1.8mil damage...might skip warcry and undermine and use leadership first

Haha, roll on the raid coin gacha and you'll see more of him. I made enough back in JP to get his trust mastery just squishing him together... I think TWICE?

My point is unless they tweaked the rates he'll be around. You'll probably get the 4* a few times as well.

I'm still a lowbie compared to you guys, but I pulled an Olive, 2 Cecils, and 2 Zidanes this morning from 12 tickets saved from the last event. I'm real happy with that.

I still rely on overpowered goons to even be able to beat Ifrit Pro though.

EDIT: Any of you guys ever see this bug before? Every time I go under Friends, if I click Requests the game crashes. I can't see who's requesting a friend of me.

Well, to be fair, DPS AND HUGE NUMBERS are the only thing that matter, ever, for all time, no exceptions.

Minfilia... passes her sword to the other hand when she attacks? She draws it back with one hand, and it's in her other when she stabs.

Keep in mind the higher we raise Ifrits level, the bigger the bonus multiplier on points. If we can get max him out at 25, then we get 200% increase in points which might allow PRO runs to be able to get everything or close to it.

Alright, yea, putting a Jeweled Ring on Noctis gives Refia bunch of breathing room so...yea, okay, he's got one on now even though he's losing some ATK, MP, & HP.

Clearing ELT for 7000-10k points per run is a pretty nice haul.
