Gil-killer Lightning is up now for those who have me on their list. Just get her past the third milestone, alive and attacking, make sure auto-limit is off, and hit auto. She's equipped with Excalibur and Chirijiraden, and is immune to status ailments, so have fun.

My daily was the 12th Arc. I'm not doing sacrificials right because I actually want a Bedile, guess I should always carry in my mind that I don't want Orlandeau or any other 5base.

I don't know what to do with my time now. I got used to running 2 events at once. I really enjoyed that Ifrit didn't take any NRG, just orbs.

Now to get Y' awakened and set in place as my main healer


I have yet to do Arena, but if your unit has a forbidden ability, can you not use the unit entirely?

No, the ability is just unavailable for use.

So, I can safely sell all the raid materials inn it gonna use, right? I've got all the craftable stuff I want.

I don't think there's ever been a case of reusing event items/materials, so yeah as long as you're happy with what you've awakened/crafted it should be fine.

Speaking of Excalipoor, I'm only 35% of the way through my first Excalibur. However, with the release of Orlandeau, Gumi realize they hosed themselves over and proceeded to make most future events light resistant. Should I stop TMing my Cecil and replace him with Save the Queen, Sakurafubuki, etc...?

Well, this current event has a +100% Light resist dude and we're still clobbering his rear end with DR and Excalibur.

Snow doesn't seem like much of a tank, but then again mine is only 5 stars currently. But all the other tanks on the top 5 list I don't own.

Charlotte's biggest problem is she's only 5* max currently so she may lack the hp to tank certain things. Snow can hit 6* but his equipment selection sucks and he doesn't have any actual tanking abilities so he doesn't mitigate for poo poo, but you can jack his hp way up and can counter for decent damage.

That's the problem I'm running into currently. Mobs seem to ignore snow completely. I guess I'll start leveling my Charolette since it'll be a while before I'll be able to actually do any hard content.

Honestly you don't really need a tank for most content outside of trials and a few story parts. But Charlotte is really good despite her 5* handicap. I used her for a long time, up through Olderion I think, before I swapped to Cecil.

I used Charlotte for almost the entirety of the story before the recent update a month or so back. Then I got Cecil a month ago, and left her behind. I would use the hell out of Charlotte and get her Shield that is a party Esuna. HP and DEF materia will give her a little more survival.

I also have a Snow I have almost maxed (95) for niche situations, where I want magic counter attacks. He is a 6, but realistically he is just as squishy and his gear selection are clothes, not armor.

Is there some strategy to cheese this to get to the 3rd threshold? For the life of me I keep wiping between 50% and 80%. Should I just take another support, so it's Cecil, Refia, two attackers for elements (no dual wield) and just grind it out to 80%?

At 50% poo poo gets real and if your not sealing lightning correctly, then his newly activated lightning based attack will kill you. The only way is with a Thunder spell or a hybrid damage attack such as Thundara Blade or Noctis' Lightning Flask.

They actually patched it pretty quickly so it's just any lightning damage like the rest

Are you sure about that? I think it has to be hybrid because I just tried it today and he loving blasted my team off the earth on the second transition phase. I'm making a coral sword right now and have a stone blade crafted so I can try to finish this awful trial. I can get past the first transition but the second just murderers 3 to 4 of my team in one go.

Is mag breaking him critical? I saw his attacks are all hybrid so while he can't be armor or attack broken would that lower the damage a bit? Or have Cecil use Focus to put up Spirit?

Hmm, I cleared it before it was supposedly 'fixed' and the wiki appears to agree that it's still gotta be hybrid. Sorry, I guess reddit is dumb. MAG breaks do work to lower his damage if you can fit them in, and both Spirit and Defense resists the damage as well, yeah.

Sent you a request. My Olive is basically cheat mode for just about everything...

I was gonna tell you to reroll for Orlandu, but gratz on getting Noctis instead. Probably third best unit in the game.

I ended up rolling an Orlandeau on a different account but the guys in Discord told me to keep the Noctis because I got a Refia with him. Will probably end up giving away the Orlandeau sometime soon.

Hmmm, yeah that's a good choice. You missed the chance to get Yshtola which is currently the only healer that can challenge a dualcast Refia. Odds of pulling Refia off banner are not that good, so yeah you should be set for the rest of the game.

Now you have to hope you get a Ludmille for the dualcast TM.

Is there some finger magic to consistently get the 27x chain? On my iphone 6S I'm always trying with 2 different fingers and it works maybe 1/4 of the time and sometimes one TGC doesn't even fire at all and I don't even get a 9X chain.

You just gotta be turbo fast. Your 2nd tap can't happen with your first finger still on the screen since the game doesn't support multi-touch. So basically you gotta tap first finger, lift that finger off, and tap second finger, lift that finger off all within like .1-.2 seconds.

This Arena team has been loving OP. If I win the initial coin toss its a 1 and done typically. Maybe a Cecil is left leaning on his sword.

Thinking of swapping Chi with some one to mag boost or something? Marie? Cecil seems meh, cant use heals so Luka or Ysholta seem like a waste. CoD is really there to cleanse any enfeebles I get hit with., but maneater doesn't hurt

Exdeath is a stud. His passive man eater ability makes him hit like a dump truck even without any MAG gear (I stack mine full of HP). He's going to become even more of a beast after enhancements which increases his man eater damage and makes his Meteor 3 hits for some crazy chaining. He's still considered god-tier in JP arena. His kit ensures that he's always a valid DD in arena no matter what's banned.

Long story short, you should invest in two more. :)
