Picking an esper is hard... I just used an Orlandeau with Ifrit for the raid and it was incredible. But Bladeblitz is nice for killing chocobos and ATK e-peen. Decisions...

Ahh, I've been able to blow through PRO myself so I hadn't really analyzed the key points for the event. I'll flip Greg's gear over to Noctis for the event then, it sounds like you don't really need him for very long but just in case you or somebody else finds him helpful.

I haven't played FF14, anybody know any good, short Noctis quotes I could goon-ify for my player message? Gotta preserve my (lame) brand.

I'm currently running a full 5* party of Cecil, Noctis, Chizuru, Exdeath, and Y'shtola, but I have crap equipment and the only TMs I have are Thancreds(4 at this point) and Minifilias. The only true guarantee I have of winning is to paralyze him turn 1, either by chizuru succeeding or a companion noctis fire flasking him. Without the paralyze a streak of bad luck can cause me to lose even with 1000+ olives.

Once I finish getting the awakening mats from the event for Noctis I have 10 metal gigantaurs waiting for him, and can get more from the cactuar dunes, so I should be able to do it much more reliably. Just need the energy for a few more event runs!

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
Just a quick psa during Orlandu chat (gently caress you 20 tickets and nothing but 3*s), but even though black magic is banned this week in arena, apparently somehow Meteor doesn't count? Exdeath can still dualcast it just fine so this week doesn't have to be nothing but 8/10 turn slugfests.

It seems like only elemental black magic is banned. Ultima, Alterna, Meteor are still fair game I think. We're gonna be eating a lot of those this week.

Lol, this is loving absurd. I was wary about this banner, but figured I could burn 5000 gems on an 11 pull. Rainbow crystal floats down, but I did not get an orlandeau...... I got TWO orlandeau.

I think the worst part of not getting an orlandeau today for me is just that I'm missing out on the 100% bonus from him in the event. This is my first event that I'm playing for the whole thing, and there are lots of things I need.

My test is still running, but I'm gonna say it now. I rushed Kiyomori from the event shop and now have an Ifrit-soloing Lightning up. She is currently halfwayish through a solo of Elite. It will take a LONG time, but if you want to use her, do as much damage as you can, then make sure auto-limit is ON (her limit breaks defense) and hit auto, then check in on it every once in a while. It'll get you an elite clear, guaranteed.

oh yeah, the vending machine gave me a cup noodles for a half price pull a couple of weeks ago. Actually it was during the Type-0 part 2 banner, and it was the first rainbow since Elza, and I was like "fuuuuck, it's Queen." I had to stare at the screen for a bit when Noctis popped out instead.

No Orlandu for me but I only had 12 tickets to use anyways. Got a few event units at least. And finally pulled Yshtola 200k shy of the free one.

I've spent my tickets like water for stuff like Ling, so I'm not complaining about not getting Orlandeau.

I do think this "RNG" is pretty bullshit, however. 4 Tickets and a Daily:

I mean, come ON. No way that happens with this huge deep unit pool even if you limit my draws to 3*

Excaliburs for days (even though I've already got one ground out).

My dilemma right now is do I spend my energy on event runs, or do story missions to keep bringing in the lapis in hopes of doing another 10+1 pull during this banner.

I guess the event has the potential to be able to get even more through rare summon tickets though.

Finally have a 6* cup noodles thanks to the event, who is back up to level 57 through dumping 16 metal gigantaurs onto him so far today.

Burned my last 8 tickets and did an 11 pull. 4 more Leos and all of the Tactics units EXCEPT for Orlandeau. At least I will be able to farm this event really well? Haven't gotten a 5* base since the first Lightning banner 6 months ago, my only other rainbow pull between then and now was a Sazh :(

Oh no, I just stole this picture from someone else's pull, I wish that were me (I have the same username in-game). And if it were I definitely wouldn't be as smug as that post, that'd just be mean. Sorry if it came out that way.
If it helps I definitely have the same luck with 5 stars as you, I pulled 24 times today and 37 times during Ling's banner without getting anything usable.

I don't believe I mentioned how much I hate these King Mog events this event, so I'll do that now.

King Mogs are awful. Need RNG on pulls to get bonus units, need RNG to get bonus enemies so you don't get a trinkle of currency even with bonus units, and it's a long annoying grind.
