Doesn't Lasswell get really good after he gets his enhancements?

No, he's pretty bad. He has some exclusive gear which isn't terrible but the reason you'd use him is for the events that require only story units.

There's a new version of him announced on JP today, 5* base.

Also this crazy rear end thing from the Twelve Weapons Vortex (aka the 10 unit fight):

Mission Clear: Holy Wand [Staff] +16 ATK, +120 SPR, Light Element, [Dual White Magic] & [Holy]

Why does he need SPR? To help with HP/MP regen?

Yeah, boosting his spirit means ridiculous mp regen, I believe people were saying 70 / round. It's the only stat he really needs to focus on, drive his actions will be consumed by singing the whole time.

Ooh drat thanks. Need to see what TMs I have for him and what I need to grind.

If I'm reading the banner right, only the mid-tier enhancement materials will be in the egg summons. Aren't those the ones that are easy to get?

Yes. If you care more about King Minitaurs or LB Pots, it's probably wise to spend your eggs now before the mats dilute the pool.

I see KD has a Refia up. Now I am considering giving Gilgamesh an attempt tonight.

Bartz
Firion
Rain
Cecil
Snow - provoke death tank

Or drag the fight along with

Bartz
Rain
Cecil
Luka
Marie

I'm still trying to figure out who with what elements etc. Bartz and Cecil are major components due to one being a suicide mana battery and the other beefy defense and a healing source.

I am kind of considering setting up Rain as a 4 element banger with dual wield (air knife + runeblade/recent event light sword) + fire/earth in one shot...

No one knows. They do seem to release QoS changes faster than events/banners/etc.

We need that, separate arena loadouts, Esper resets, the new friend system, and fusing trust moogles ASAP!

Don't forget that his Hope passive turns in to "did you get low on HP but survive? Here, have a massive boost to DEF/SPR for the next few turns" too. Then you fire off The Light Is With Us after healing up, and defend for a turn or two while soaking everything.

WoL with enhancements is amazing.

I notice Fryevia has an ability geared around single-wielding, and giving her dual wield plus Enhancer in her off-hand actually lowers her MAG. I take it then that the tradeoff isn't worth it? Is she good with Doublehand, then?

It's worth the tradeoff because Freyvia apparently chains like Orlandu.

e: Burned 170k eggs pulling for more vestment moogles, got 2 of them.


And 22 Freyvia moogles :shepicide:

Perhaps the dual wielding guns and improvement to his chaining abilities will make Medius not bad anymore.

i thought his chaining ability was essentially impossible to chain and also had a heck of long animation, i think dual wield will technically make it worse

Huh, I always assumed those were non-stackable. Guess I'm glad I didn't craft/grind more than 3 of each.

Also, starting Friday, Dangerous Ariana is back, we're getting 5x Friend Points for bringing Friends along, the Egg Innkeeper will sell Purecrysts, and the Egg Pull now has a chance to drop Heavicrysts.

There's also going to be a new Vortex Trial, and it's a double boss: Dark Ifrit and Dark Siren. They're the reason for the changes to non-stackable Killers, since Dark Siren is weak to Bird Killer, and Dark Ifrit to Beast Killer.

Off the top of my head, Rikku and Ashe are amazing 4*s worth hoarding for. On the other hand, by the time they come out we'll have more story and I can afford pulls again, assumedly.
