Oh, someone else finally suffering from Rain's idiotic Cover ability. I swear that thing exists purely to mess up fights. Please Rain, cover my Cecil, he obviously needs it sooo much. Yeesh. And Cecil never covers Refia or Yshtola to boot.

So, now that maintenance is up... did anyone ever get a Limit Burst Pot in week 2 egg summons? I didn't get as much eggs due to taking care of someone at a hospital then getting a cold myself, but a good half a million eggs later I felt that they were completely removed from the summon rotation.

I went through 340k eggs yesterday morning and got 3 LB pots. I don't know how many eggs I had when maintenance hit but I doubt I'll get any from those eggs when it ends. Definitely won't have enough rainbow eggs to get all of the megacrysts so I need to figure out which ones I care the least about.

Yeah I got plenty of burst pots in week two. It's an RNG thing, there were times I'd go two days with none, then pull four.

What's Nova Launcher? And Memu runs like poo poo for me. There's something about enabling a visual something mode in the BIOS but that seems like a bigger hassle than just figuring out how to help Nox get stable

It prevents Nox from dropping icons on the home screen which is what accounts for 99% of the crashes I've had. Here's a pretty good checklist of making Nox run better: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/668qxk/crash_fixes_for_nox/

See, I tried this with Rain, Durandal+Black Belt Cecil, Dana's Lightning and Noctis to lock down every element, but goddamned Rain would keep covering everyone and getting himself killed. Even if Cecil had used his level 25 LB and had Provoke on, Rain would still tank hits until he died then I'd have to rush to revive him and hope that Gilgamesh wouldn't wipe me before I could get off another Lava Floor.

When that's kind of an issue, which is why I loaded him up with all my HP gear so I had Rain at over 6000hp and he managed to stay alive. Give that a go.

If you're putting up a Setzer, please put an elemental weapon on, even a crappy one, for chainsawing purposes. I'm going with Fire, since I have Vernard,unless people want to go another direction.

drat, this event is stingy with currency, and I can't run my Firion and a squad of Kefka fodder and clear it easily. Anyone have any advice for the bare minimum I need to beat Elite boss so I can bring as many bonus units as possible? I'm thinking of bringing Minfilia to get the big fire resistance buff and hoping that's enough, I think my Firion can kill it in three rounds with Fin Briar, but my last attempt he got worn down and killed in round 2.

With 3 Terras and a Setzer I usually get 600-700 fish, and Golden bomb rates seem to be pretty high - I've gotten 3 already today.

Ultima weapon is vulnerable to paralyze, so if you have a Xon or a friend Noctis to Fire Flask it you can shut him down for a few turns at least.

so this event runs for 300 days, right. because thats how long it would take to get the t5 mats. holy gently caress what is wrong with gumi, this is insane. with a full party of 50% bonus units and a trance terra i think i got 700 fish from the 13 stamina mission (and barely even killed ultima weapon)

also 20 tickets later and i got another hope and a bunch of poo poo (the hope is also poo poo but he was the 4* from those pulls) :smith:

All my energy for the morning and not a single special spawn. Bleh.

I'm running it with Noctis, 2x Terra, 2x Kefka, and friend unit(preferably T.Terra, otherwise an Olive). So far summonings this morning have been pretty crappy(a second terra and second kefka, which I guess is OK for the bonus, then just crap).

I said gently caress it, spent 20 bux to get enough for two eleven pulls and got rewarded with crap. I didn't even get a second Setzer.

13 tickets so far, 4 golds and none are Setzer.

2-11 pulls. 6 Golds, only 1 Setzer but I did get my first Snow along with 2 more Quick Attack TMs.

Rainbow trolled by Queen, thankfully her TM is nice.

edit: Spent my 4* after 11 normal ones, ticket and got Trance Terra. Still only 1 Setzer though GD it.

I awakened Kefka to 6*, even though it's probably a waste, in honor of him being my best unit for months at the start of the game. Too bad he's lame now.

I can one round Ultimate Weapon with my Olive on ELT. Takes some set up, as I need attack song, imperil, and deprotect up, but not like my bonus units can do much else. Then her 25/25 Death From Above LB crushes it, thanks egg pulls.

I've got a Black Cat Lit and a Ling so I'll rotate them in. Thanks, should have looked for that first.

And in terms of the fish, yeah, I'm getting about 700 with my units, and I want to say in the last event, with a similar loadout, I was getting thousands?

Yea, usually 2 50%s + friend random % usually nets me at or over 500. I'm lucky to see 300 from pro.

I need the awakening mats, but holy gently caress.
