If you already have like 5 dual wield/Genji Glove, is there any reason to grab Second Knife?

Arena shenanigans, breakers. Otherwise it's pretty meh. I'd pick it up anyway because it's a unique item.

I burned six tickets going for Xon. Gentlemen, it doesn't get much worse than this:

Aiden
Aiden
Shadow
Aiden
Cerius

And just to cement this as the worst sequence of pulls I've ever had, ticket number six could only be:

I don't know if this is a bug, but "giving" the event staff to Aiden in the vortex doesn't actually remove it from your inventory, so be sure to visit him after crafting it for a free 5000 eggs

Metal eggs are used to do the Egg Summon, which in turn drops rainbow, blue, and red eggs in addition to stuff like gil turtles and metal cactuars.

On a 5000 metal egg summon I typically get 1-5 rainbow eggs.

I'm not sure if this is just anecdotal or not but since I switched from the Nox launcher to the Nova launcher I haven't crashed yet.

Does Nova take Nox macros or something?

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
Threw up my Locke with extra HP/MP and Thief's Bracer for the event, since I doubt I'll get Xon or any other easter units here. I'm afraid I blew all my luck getting Queen and Gilgamesh back to back during the PC banner. :smith:

Aw gently caress, I just realized that Xon steals gil along with items when you use Waylay. Now I have absolutely no idea how I'll keep my clears straight during explorations. :psyduck:

guess I will collect as many materials as possible since i am not a gilzillionaire yet

Right now I am utilizing this event to clear back logged story quests that i didnt do "3 limit bursts" on just because i pressed auto and pile drove through it.

On that note, gently caress "Assault Style" required battles, as well as the one that requires Nichol to be fully leveled.

It's still Nox, but it's not using the built in Nox launcher that always tries to install stuff and switch screens when it crashes. You can get the Nova launcher from the Play store. You have to rename the Nox launcher's apk or it will keep trying to take over though.

The reason you can track via gil is because there's a set number of battles. If you're doing it manually, you can just check there.

For example, Snowy Woods. Zone 1 has 14 battles, Zone 2 has 7. Count your battles, and move on.

Xon's spell steal ability does work on bosses. Someone tested it against Gilgamesh's +300% stat buff and it worked:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/63wfzt/xons_twist_of_fate_works_on_bosses/


So.... I guess he's a must-pull unit now. :( (I wanted him anyway so I guess that's cool)


edit: In retrospect, I can't think of any super game-changing buffs you might be able to steal from bosses like Gilgamesh's 300%. And even then, I have no idea how long the buffs last.

Well this chat made me blow my tix looking for Xon and my consolation prize was my first Noctis. As a bonus I didn't cash in my 100x cactaurs from Mog yet so it's an easy level to 100. I need to grind a second dual wield and blade mastery now, but that's first world problems. Once I get that DW I'm going to have 3 Lightnings gathering dust on the bench

My main share is an 1100 Olive, should I put my second best gear on TGC or Noctis?

Lol this is either gonna be the most game broken ability that you'll wish you whaled for or Gumi will tweak boss fights in the future to account for it. Hex Strike 2.0, here we come!

I'm sure some bosses can have "you dun hosed up" super buffs that last on them for 999 turns so if Xon copies the duration as well then.. yeah.

e: an 11 pull gave me 3 4* units and they were seven, luka, and another loving refia. And several more Aidens. Threw away 10 more tickets and got two gold crystals with garnet and loving soleil. I think I've seen 6 or 7 gold crystals in 20-30 pulls and none were Xon. :suicide:

I can tell that Xon will be another "gently caress you you can't have them" 4* unit like Ling was for me.

Decided to use 5 tickets to try for Xon.

Of course, I missed Xon. I did get a second Chizuru and then a second Orlandu.

Then I pulled 2 more and got Xon.

I think I'll be out of luck for a while.

Well I really just wanted a Xon but I'll take a triple rainbow 11-pull.
Daily, 16 tickets, and 2 11-pulls until Xon. First 11-pull was the triple rainbow and the second had Xon.

I know, I just kinda wanted him but I went about 30 pulls (the 11 pull and some tickets) with only a bunch of aidens and other dupes to show for it so I'm just going to 1/2 pull and save for Rikku. Still sitting at 70 tickets and a bunch of lapis though. :shrug:
