How do I get the materials to awaken prince cup noodles to 6*? Even if I somehow managed to get enough Ifrit points to get all the awakening materials available I will still be short on Calamity Gems. And that is assuming I can get enough points for the prismatic horns, which I have serious doubts on. Are the 6* awakening mats only from events?

They also sometimes show up in the daily special cycle by themselves. 1x for 15k iirc, always buy the daily special.

Thankfully there's a king mog event right around the corner so you should be able to buy your 6* awakening mats then. Look up what you need to awaken any of your up and comers and plan out what to get. King Mog are usually the best for 6* mats too since you can choose what you want and there's a cheap but limited tier and an expensive but unlimited tier if you find that you need a ton of Calamity Gems / Prismatic Horns / Rainbow Blooms / etc.


The Enchanted Maze isn't bad for 6* mats too, but it's slow and heavy RNG.

I would like to do this but every single Gilgamesh I have run into isn't immune to paralysis and thus worthless to bring along.

Also in the future Gilgamesh's Tri Attack becomes a...uh... Dozen(?) Attack. Yeah.

You have to keep Primm because SoM is awesome.

Other than that I have no opinion because I've only been playing this game for like 2 weeks now!

Leon has a good TM, Shera, Elle, Guy and Tellah have ok TMs. Primm/Cupid Luna aren't obtainable anymore.

Personally, I keep at least one of everything because it only takes 20 lapis to keep a unit, and you never know what will be useful in the future.

I was trying to find a decent video to give people an idea of what Orlandu chains look like.

Did Japan chain their chain messages awhile back or is this guy not using an Orlandu with a holy weapon? Because those HE chains aren't showing as elemental and I really want to believe this person isn't ignoring the biggest factor in Orlandu's damage. :psyduck:

If you have two cupid luna, keep both of her around. She's got surprisingly good stats for a 5 star, and is probably the best character we'll ever get with Chainsaw.


In other news, I have cleared out some old goons from my friends list, and need new, active ones.

If you still haven't got a basic clear of Gilgamesh to get the genji blade, for tomorrow and possibly much of friday, I will have a 100% evade Lightning with status immunity up, equipped with Excalibur and Lad Mirazh (sealing holy and ice). All you need to do is bring her along, get past the third instakill milestone, turn off auto-limit, and then hit auto. She'll take care of the rest, guaranteed. If you can get that far with only 4 other characters, and/or without using items, she will also handle that for you.

My code is:

103, 135, 071 I have at least 10 slots open, and I will keep removing idle goons as long as I have people who want slots.

PS: The reason she's not useful for that purpose after friday is that I'm going to grab that new katana as fast as I can from the event, slam it into her hand, and give her 150% fire resist and 100% evade, so she can solo elite Ifrit as often as people can pull her up on their lists.

Gilgamesh doesn't need Ice sealed, he needs Water, according to the Wiki?

2 Chizurus is pretty much the start of a good strategy. Like in that video linked here earlier, you put them both with elemental weapons and use their last skill, Phantom Shadow, to rack up a big chain before finishing with a big ticket single hit ability (from a friend or otherwise), like Firion, Olive, Gilgamesh, etc...
Although given you've started a bit recently I think you missed out on the good elemental fire katana from October.

Pffffahaha oh man those 1% Moogle prices! What a loving joke. Even if you play manually and don't use macros you could get 1% on 5 units in like, 30 energy if you're lucky, versus god knows how many runs of the ELT FFT event.

I've re-tweaked my friend unit Ling to give her a bit more HP, fire resistance and Bushido: Freedom. (thanks, Dana!) Hope this helps!

Really looking forward to not getting Orlandeu tomorrow! :)

Mile'ionaha posted:

Careful with targeting your own squad with Ling: she has ManEater

This is a good point.

With no weapon equipped (she doesn't NEED to attack unless by some miracle you can chain 10 dance steps together without needing a Safety Chakra, or using Bushido: Freedom) her ATK is 199 with Ifrit, as opposed to Cecil's 208 with Golem and no weapon, or 228 with Ifrit (for the fire resistance with the fire mail and shield) and no weapon. Man-Eater brings her effective attack up to 248, sure, but Bushido: Freedom is a risky thing to do anyway, it takes a character out of healing or damaging roles for a turn, which may start the snowball.

Since she's there just to be a mana battery, your healer and off-healer should be able to deal with the damage and, with your buffer, should be able to get things back up to speed quickly.

Could do the tactics one if you dont care about non rainbow pulls and get some banner units for event bonus. Otherwise i say dont bother and just daily pull
