Hi. I'm a Chelsea fan since 2010. Please murder me with a piece of pipe. thanks.
Ifrit raid has no resists or weaknesses. PRO and below he can be paralyzed and blinded so you want to be using fire flask. Warp Break is his highest damaging move so it's really all you use unless you need to thunder flask since a MAG break was resisted.

I now have 3 Yshtolas (2 pull 1 from score). I'mma gear them all up, that and 3 Minfilias. I get the feeling I could cheese something with the latter.

Also, check your ranking for the raid event, competition for sub 10K rank is getting pretty tough.

Heard people recommend warp break when using Noctis against Iftit. Why that over Blizzard Flask?


If you're running PRO then use fire flask to paralyze him then warp break for the defensive debuffs. If you're running ELT you need to break his atk/mag or he can easily one round anyone who isn't tanky as hell.

Sub 10k isn't too bad if you're running ELT. Currently at 2.1m points and rank 5100. Sitting on 61k coins too so far, but I'll probably sell them all since I don't need more FF14 units/TMs and I'd get more use out of the gold (3mil for 60k coins).

Sitting at 3.7m gold now, was around 5mil a week ago, and whenever we get enhancements that'll burn through millions of gold like nothing.

EDIT: As an aside, according to the unit calculator the Monster Breastplate gives Olive a higher attack than the Brave Suit does.

If you have the patience, re-roll your account until you get Orlandeu. He will carry you on his back through lots and lots of bullshit.

From the Op:

quote:

Rerolling

All new players should reroll until they have a 5★ base unit.

If you want to reroll you should know that the game data keeps track of your device ID. Deleting the app and its data will not disconnect the account from the server. You'd actually have to wipe your phone for it to disconnect. The Global version of the game also uses Facebook as its main method of save data connection.

The easier way to reroll is to use an Android emulator. Either Memu or Nox. Play past the tutorial and once you get 500 Lapis do a Roll on the Rare/Featured Summon banner. If you like it connect your Facebook account to it, if not restart the emulator and try again.

Once you’ve connected your Facebook account to your BE account you’re locked in and can’t change it so choose your starting character wisely.

Sadly in order to get Orlandeu, you may be looking at anywhere from between 100-200 rolls...still, most of us will say it's worth it. Especially if you want to remain F2P.

If you've got an ice weapon for him, he generates his own 50% ice weakness on an attack that ignores 25% defense AND breaks 50% defense. It's an overloaded as gently caress attack, and is gonna be used constantly in my canon characters only party for doing story.

I love Noctis in arena. Fire flask just fucks up the other team so badly. I do not look forward to when it is prohibited by some limitation :(

Its kind of funny, everyone says to reroll if you don't get a 5* base to start with, but I was too lazy to and now I have a pretty good team thanks to a little bit of luck. My main limitation right now is a lack of good equipment.

I wish I'd kept an accurate count yesterday for red ore because I started the day with maybe a few thousand red ore and ended the day with 17k red ore and Kiyomori. After how much Type-0 screwed with me on bomb/nimbus appearances this has been a nice start to the FFT grind. I'll easily get the 200k or so ore for my event shopping list at this rate. :toot:

:lol: if you didn't realize that was going to happen. Gungho has done that with PAD and new Godfest exclusives. Have a kickass player/dev choice godfest then add new godfest exclusives a week later.

I wonder if/when Gumi will start doing Unit of Choice events in FFBE like they do in Brave Frontier (one's going on right now, need to log in for 30 days or so though) or if they'll never do it because of how this game's setup.

There's a lightning element sword as a TMR at some point, I think, but I'm pretty sure it's something you want to use on the unit that it comes with. Lightning's enhancements include her -lightning resist debuff getting boosted to 75% though which is going to be amazing on global for making Olive hit for even more ridiculous amounts of damage. To say nothing of if/when Olive gets enhancements.

- White magic now calculates damage from SPR
- Separate arena loadouts
- Vivi/Garnet/Kuja/Zidane 6*
- Filter friends by ATK (I'm guessing it means sort)
- Notification when arena orbs/energy is full
- Enhance view now remembers your position in the list

The lightning-element Greatsword comes on some random 3* BE shitter that you'll definitely not use over Lightning.

Either my units have gotten that good or this red orb Mog event is the easiest thing I have ever encountered.

Chizuru, CoD, and Mercedes barrage the whole time. All 3 above 400atk.
2 Bonus units, and 1 friend.

If Orlandu friends are up, I run elite, after that it is a pro grind.


Ifrit is getting tougher and tougher to grind out due to availabilities of Olive or Noctis units. Accidentally grabbed a 500atk Olive non-friend companion and that didn't end so well.

The event is definitely easy, especially after spending a week or two grinding the Ifrit raid.

It also helps that the chocobos show up a ton.

Yeah, this event isn't soul crushing like the Type Zero for FF13 king mog events. I only really started running it yesterday after Cactuar Dunes ended and I'm already at 37k. With a decently strong Orlandu pal I can throw Noctis and bonus units at elite. Deprotect, Attack Song, and Imperil from Espers help make it consistent too, and if my pal isn't strong or chocobos show up I can Fire Flask my way to victory.

Got the gilga trial down first attempt today! Managed the limit burst special and 5 unit max achievements too.

Primm with kaiser knuckles, golem staff and Luneth with durandal, vernard and a water blade materia easily kept all 6 elements locked down.

After that, dual cast Refia was easily able to deal with any of gilgamesh's damage even through thresholds. Cecil sat there to eat insta kills and throw mp items at Refia when needed.

Friend unit Noctis was my 5th slot and I still think I'm going to pick him in future trials over beefed out Olives or Orlandus because of the sheer amount of utility he provides.

I'm getting chocobospawns like mad in the ELT event right now, it's like I've got the luck you people have getting rainbows and zidanes. Had to drop lapis to expand my item slots

Today's pulls were a daily and tickets I grinded out with the event: Lani, Medius, Sazh, Amarant, Galuf, Tellah, Lawrence. Not a single Soleil yet, because that's a golden crystal and they only troll me, like I'm back dropping 50 pulls hunting Ling and getting squat.

Flipping the double bird in the direction of basically all of you. It's doing a great job at making me not want to invest money in it and also quit.
