I was a bit surprised to find out Olive's LB was a true 5 hit attack, as in, deals 999x5 damage in Arena.

Fryevia can (in theory) deal more damage than Olive* as a finisher, though it's some BiS and perfectly timed chaining stuff. Meanwhile Trance Terra might be the #1 mage but she's still only a mage.

I'm probably going to run Kefka/Kefka/Kefka/Terra/IDK and eventual Trance Terra whale buddies for the event. The filler unit can be my imperil slave so that I can hopefully just one round everything like in other farming events.


* True shot, not LB since Olive's LB is bonkers and if you manage to land all the hits during a max bonus DR chain good lord that damage.

But Trance Terra looks cool and is from the best FF game, so she wins.

My stock of Holy and Sacred Crystals is getting low(<10) as well. Every day I've been dropping 100 lapis for a refresh just to run 2-3 units through the adv trial and it's eaten into my stash.

Since I got Refia this morning I'm in a rush for holy crystals.

Take an Orlandu with 910+ ATK or an Olive buddy with 1100+ ATK, use the unit you're grinding with an esper that has dispel. Use that unit to cast dispel on Ifrit, then use Divine Ruination or True Shot which will OHKO him. Then do the same on Siren. If you're using an Olive you can click the repeat button since her mortar will hit and weaken the boss enough that True Shot without dispel will kill her, but you still need to dispel first if using Orlandu.

I was running my egg summon macro, and I let it run too long and I found out that it can go off the rails and go into other summon screens when it runs out of eggs.

It went into the egg hunters banner and bought me a 10 pull.

I got a second Fryevia.

EDIT: The FF6 event has sparked in me a desire to yet again replay FF6, but it just makes me sad that the official "graphics upgrade" of the game looks like such poo poo, while this game has good updated sprites for FF6.

Oh, this argument again. Great.

Anyway, I'm done with eggs, got multiple copies of all the stuff one can make multiples of, and two purecrysts for Lightning.

Still no Xon, burned a ticket a little while back, and got a Marie, so that's nice I guess. Got me a maxed out Terra and Kefka with two backup Kefkas, I only wish Celeste was here to see how many fish I'm gonna get.

Macro talk: Nox for MacOS sucks, and crashes when you try to open the starburst settings menu to adjust things like the resolution. No built in macro controls, either.

Running Nox inside Parallels running Windows 10 makes my MacBook useless for anything else, and I like to use it for stuff that isn't grinding TMs sometimes?

I haven't tried setting up a Wine wrapper for Nox just yet, but what have figured out is Switch Controls on iOS.

First, every guide you can find on YouTube or Reddit leaves some kind of important steps out, which is why it took me so long to get this thing going.

Got me an easy 2-press Earth Shrine TM macro going, which doesn't spend Lapis. It seems to be going pretty well so far. It's similar to a wind up toy in that it can bank executions in the phone's buffer, idly tapping it during a commercial break lets it run on its own for the better part of an hour. Sure, it doesn't run when you stop tapping because you're asleep, but it requires minimal supervision and is super easy to set up.

I will maybe switch from Ling to Orlandeu or a dodgetank Lightning when I have crafted the appropriate TM gear.

If there is interest, I can write up a detailed how-to for iOS folks who want to macro on their iDevices that can be stuck in the OP or something.

Did they nerf the trial or something? I took a whale Orlandu the other day with 1000+ ATK and a DR only took 1/10th of health off of dispelled Ifrit. My whole team couldn't do it. :(
