Got a rainbow crystal from today's half-price summon!

Would've liked Reberta if only to dump these drat moogles, but got Dark Fina #2 instead. At least she's boss in arena and I'll be able to have fun with Ultima chains in 8 months or however long it'll take to upgrade Ultima on both of them.

as i understand it between sakura and cod you should be able to survive, sakura uses her damage reduce and everyone else guards, then you raise her and cod buffs everyone and its just that over and over until you kill him

with just her own gear i think yshtola should have enough spirit to be able to heal through everything with both buffs up if she has 5k health, i think? i am putting off the attempt myself since i am so tired and lazy (and still need finish last weeks event oh god help me goons)

The idea that summoning will get you leftovers from the previous banner is fairly prevalent and there's downright crazy amounts of evidence for it. It happens so often it's just bizarre.

Jokes aside that really sucks. I did that in the Gilgamesh trial three times myself, once on accident and twice from lack of paying attention.

Would this chain work? Fryevia to start to debuff ice defense, then Edgar - Edgar - (Third Edgar?) - Setzer all equipped with dual wield and icebrands. I'm looking to try and take down some of the tougher trials with it. Would I need to find a friend Setzer with and ice weapon? And if I did need someone else to finish the chain, would Firion with ice lance be able to fit that role?

ToonMan, I love your Marie. She's gotten me so close to beating the new trial. I can reliably get to the point where the rear end in a top hat dragon Megaflares every two or three turns and it's game over for me. Maybe I'll get lucky and manage to damage the stupid thing enough to make it stop loving me over.

Meanwhile I tried to use his Marie and despite buffing spirit, using the resist all, and trying to defend everyone took almost 6k damage except my Yshtola who took 10k. Good fight would play again.

Hopefully someone makes a solo capable character or finds an exploit because this is dumb.

Make 6 star Lasswell the starter for the ice weakness chain, then two edgar, freviya, friend unit freviya, and if there isnt a 5 unit mission, then a really good breaker/buffer for the two freviya.

I'm trying to set up a dumb gimmick option where lightning with a +2 awakend crushing blow inflicts -75% lightning resist, then 4 dual wielding setzers with coral swords all chain double dice off each other while stacked with a killer and 3 poach materia.

Who do you have for tanks, green mages, and healers? Most of the damage will be relying on a friend Orlandeau with Ifrit if you don't have good damage dealers of your own or want to do the 5 man challenge.

I have Marie with 408 spr if anyone needs a support friend for Trial Bahamut. ID: 364,859,209

She should be tough enough to use Focus on turn 1 and survive the first megaflare while everyone else guards. Then she can rotate between using Love you all, Focus, and dualcasting cura as needed.

This really isn't the best banner to whale on unless you want the dragon pet sprite for reasons. The four star mage is good, but it's just a mage...

We are likely getting a players choice or All Stars banner when the anniversary hits and then there is the upcoming FFX banner with Rikku. Everybody should be saving tickets for Rikku as she is basically a required pull for future end game content.

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
I've still got my 4* ticket for Rikku, but I've been throwing about 10 tickets at this banner because I want literally any of them so I can clear out these loving moogles. I fused together my Kains months ago, so now I've got enough moogles for another Gungnir. Literally the only banner unit I've gotten from doing my daily+free pull and all those tickets is a single Firion. :argh:

On the bright side, the next try I bugged out the Megaflare on accident. On the bad side, I literally attacked with only Sakura after a point, and chipped him to death after 20-30 turns... and still didn't get enough orbs for an Esper summon. rip.

Same for me :hfive: I decided to go with a bit more damage and use my Firion with Poach and that ended up being just enough to push me into the bugged out megaflare territory. Didn't even have half my esper bar filled and I doubt I'll even try that trial again so to hell with the burst pot.

Most of the early silver chests are pretty bad, and not worth the keys. Check the wiki to make sure you're not wasting a key on something you can buy from shops for 500 gil. Later chests (and a couple early ones) do have some great items, including Killers. Don't worry about spending lapis on buying key bundles from the shop, mog king events sell the pieces to make a few keys.

Always do 5 arena fights per a day. Win or lose, you'll get 20 lapis for your first and fifth pvp fights. While you're still low level, the rest of your arena orbs should go towards Colosseum fights. There are a lot of good rewards from the Coloseum, including a few thousand lapis. Once your pvp team gets good enough to start winning some fights, try to get top 90k in the monthly rankings, so you get a 10% moogle.

Also, post your friend code to get lots of goon whale friends who can carry you through hard events.

tried elite Bahamut. Megaflare killed everyone and hit Rain for 13k. That was funny.

Are you friends with FissSA? Because his Fryevia murders ELT Bahamut in 2 rounds. My team is Cecil, Rain, Trance Terra, Noctis, and Y'shtola. I have Rain use Undermine and Noct use Link, then have Trance queue up dual Fira, Y'shtola queues up Fira Materia, and FissSA queues up Frost Flower. After they attack, Bahamut gathers light, I have Cecil, Trace, and Y'shtola defend, Rain uses Defend skill, Noct uses Point Warp, and FissSA Frost Flowers again. I then fill my pockets with Raid Coins.

Honestly, I could probably just have everyone attack while FissSA uses Frost Flower on the second round and win, but I wanna prepare for "just in case"... :tinfoil:

when people max out TM's on crap characters like Zidane, do you just sell them? Or is there any reason to keep them around?

Trophy case of 100% TMR units.

TMR'd friend units get fed for exp or sold, whichever i feel like.

The mage weapon from the event is dogshit. The other two have Dragon Killer, giving them a niche role.

You should keep a Shantotto around if you're TMR farming her, because she becomes a fantastic chainer with her 6*.

I think Zidane himself also becomes decent, though not to the same extent.

The newest MEmu runs great so far. It feels snappier and it looks much more resilient to app/emulator crashing. The slow rear end stage loading is still there from the latest FFBE client update unfortunately.

Shantotto only has a 5* form in JP right now and a 4* form here. Honestly they are probably scared of giving her a 6* right now, despite being the closest thing to the representative character of the its particular FF. Her 5* is that strong.

The rod is absolute crap and so is the robe but the gun and lance are OK. Outside of TMRs and old event items, you wont get better.
