Is the Phantom Woods generic megacyte drop still the best farming spot?

I need Odin, Carby, Diab, and soon to be Titan maxed out on the hop. The last Mog event not selling the megacyte kinda hurt, but the egg farming brought Ifrit, Ramuh, and Shiva to max.

Here's the Megacryst/Megacite farming google doc from Reddit, do with it what you will:

Next Event is a Bahamut Raid.

New Awakened abilities for: Delita, Hope, Vanille, Laswell, Nichol, Garnet, Kain, Snow, Chizuru, Dark Fina, Bartz (NO RAMZA!!!)

Next banner looks like: Firion, Kain, Reberta, Zyrus. Called the Dragon Killers so presumably all the characters on the banner have innate Dragon Killer which is kind of cool.

Reberta(not sure if that's a typo or just a really badly translated name) has a fantastic sprite with a red dragon flying next to her and Zyrus look like Global Exclusive units. Wish we were getting a global exclusive Kain 6* awakening but c'est la vie.

I actually have enough Kains already to do that, but I was saving 5 of them for this trial because ages ago someone posted a team of 5 Kains destroying it and I love gimmick builds.

Aww, it's just a bunch of ability awakenings. On the plus side those with Dark Fina and willing to farm can turn her into a monster with chaining Ultima now.

I'll be glad not to see grinding events for a bit. Although I personally believe next week will be a Bahamut raid event.
Behold my predictions coming true! Ok well it's not like there was that many events to guess from. Let's see if I can keep the streak going: after Bahamut is Type 0 event part 3.
And also we won't get WoL+Garland 6 star till the anniversary event next month.

Edit: One of the Bahamut rewards is just a Thancred TM by another name. What a way to waste space.

Doubleposting but they just updated with the banner info. Reberta is a Dragoon whose big move is one of those conditional attacks JP seems to like so much. It's a jump attack that makes it so three of her other jump abilities do some other unspecified thing when used afterwards.
Zyrus is another exclusive. 4* anti-dragon mage, has innate dualcast, and one of those "Consecutive uses of does increasing damage" abilities. Also a pretty good rod TM.

I didn't realize Firion had 2 separate dragon killer passives. Can I equip him with a 3rd one from the friend point unit?

Yes. You can also stack 2 Poach and Syldra's Protection for a total +130% vs Dragons just from materia. Give him Odin that's another 50%. He innately has 125%, so if you use the event spear and the event gun that's another 100%. So you could have Firion at +405% VS DRAGONS

I'm not a fan of the conditional or consecutive attacks gimmick because it's hard to work into your strategy when you need to break the chain for a turn to do something else, like in this case Guard for Megaflare. And the benefit never seems as good as just straight chain damage.

That said, I might whale for Reberta because THAT loving DRAGON. :love:

From the Exvius past JP events archive

quote:

Bahamut
Lv: 70
Hp: 1200000
weak to light element, resist dark element. Nullifies poison, confuse, silence, pertify. Which means Bahamut can be afflicted by paralysis and sleep.

First turn idle, and release megaflare on the second turn. It is important to buff Spirit parameter (concentration will do fine) or magic debuff to survive megaflare. Later turns will be followed by AoE fire, water, earth attacks (earthshaker), poison attacks, and Maelstorm (50% hp threshold, reduce hp by 99%).

Recommended party: Bring a full assault party to finish Bahamut on turn 2-3. Orlandu and Exdeath are recommended because of their light-elemental attacks. Equipping Durandal (from recent FFT event, light-elemental greatsword) and dragon-killer abilities to physical attacker is recommended to increase firepower. If you're not confident to finish Bahamut quickly, bringing full-party buff (concentrate) and a healer will help you to survive (especially megaflare). Considering Bahamut attacks on 3rd turn and later are quite dangerous (maelstorm), finishing the battle quickly is highly recommended.


Chaining Orlandu probably going to be the way to go, unless they nerf his Light weakness.

I'll probably roll for the mage because dragoons are universally bad in this game and they still haven't figured out a way to not make them suck that badly. Even their last attempt in the japanese version was just sort of OK but really not worth it as a

Mage at least has the TM being a bit better than a void staff and a decent midpoint between it and Emperors staff. Plus maybe his nuke will work with my double t.terras chaos waves.

Im also guessing that after they decided to not really give lightning better enhancements that they'll do the same with Delita and have his be some of the worst in the loving game, continuing to relegate him into literally the worst troll 5* you could get.
