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.

Oh. On your phone/tablet where you usually play it, you have it linked to facebook right? That's the cloud-save connection, otherwise it rests on your device only.

i'm well over 800k points now and still no yshtola pull

good thing she's available from the rewards

but yeah if you're using olive be sure to shattering shot and try to get true shot even as part of a short chain as you do massive damage

the two Buttzes I'm TMR farming are at a combined 95% I can loving TASTE IT, gimme that doublehand.

Olive's at like 55%'ish too, but I don't think I'm gonna keep pouring lapis down the TMR drain this week. Gonna be nice to free up those two Bartz slots for a couple Zidanes though, now that I finally have some!

Okay, so you can't actually craft Y'shtola and Minfilia's exclusive materias, you get a copy directly.

If I slap a Black Belt on her, will that stack, and make it 50% likely to retaliate with a heal?

No. Two different abilities don't stack their proc rates together and only one counter can trigger per hit received IIRC, so a black belt would make her curaja counter go off even less.

Just Olive, Shattering Shot and the +100% ATK buff (and a tiny chain with Warp Break). She hits for around 700k if Shattering Shot sticks and she doesn't get hit with the ATK break. Her LB absolutely rapes Ifrit and Cecil with Black Belt is handy for building LBs.

I shoulda known, yeah. I can't afford to take Olives, I need Ling for breaks.

My Y'shtola came when I pulled with about 5000 at once. Maybe saving them up for a YUGE pull will help those who haven't pulled her.

Rates shouldn't change based on making a larger pull. I've been exclusively doing the multi 5k coin capped pulls, and at a little over 400k points haven't pulled yshtola yet.

It may be psychologically a little more pleasing/disheartening to see the pulls in that format based on your outlook though.

You should use the macros in this reddit thread which gets all around all that annoying crap automatically.

What to use King Burst Pot on? This thing gives 10000 LB experience.
I understand the order goes Cecil>Exdeath and then others. Obviously Noctis and Olive owners would use it on those units. What's the next best choice? Y'shtola? Minfillia? Vanille?

dangerous.hotdog
Feb 29, 2008
Probably save for Tidus just in case. I don't think anyone else's LB's are really impactful enough to warrant using a 10k pot. Like, Y'shtola's LB is really strong but she's a pretty niche unit to begin with compared to DC Refia/future 6* Tilith. Minfilia is also situational and her LB is a weaker version of Cecil's. Vanille's is just bad.

you generally want to use LB pots on units that have utility/support LBs rather than damage ones.

My numbers say you should do single raidcoin pulls if you're looking for materials, multi-pulls (up to 5000 raidcoins a pull) if you're looking for Thancreds which now are close to a 7:1 ratio to Minfilia. Love those 10% HP/ATK TMs though.
