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.

Whoops, yea, I meant 5*. It's just so good that my brain mentally assigned it as her 6* upgrade.

my free pull and half price today were both gold after probably 20+ blue draws. rosa and vanille :unsmigghh:

Honestly they are the most troll of gold crystals but the fact that they are some of the few base 4* without 6 star upgrades and given Gumi's treatment for characters near the end of season 1 and now in season 2 gives me a whole lot of hope that they will get good upgrades.

Getting brand new 6*s right now gives them a better chance at being good than say Delita or Queen which are stuck being bottom of the barrel trash units because no matter what, the way that they are built just prevents them from being significantly improved without doing some serious bullshit like they did with Randi

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.

100% TM units are good when you're farming annoying rare materials because you will get lots of extra chests after clearing the level. IIRC they can rarely contain screamroots and star quartz too.

You know, I feel a lot less excited for doing the raid this time around. Last time we were guaranteed 2 good characters and getting the materials for their good unique gear and awakening materials for them.

This one the equipment is poo poo even for me, and nothing else unique comes out of it. You can get some cactuars and esper materials out of the raid summon, but those are the only things I care about other than the moogle achievement awards(and the ability awakening materials if I get enough points, which I almost certainly will). I'm going to be drowning in gugnirs after this, which wouldn't be a problem if I had any good spear users.

The best reward is the easy rank exp so each refill goes that much farther when TM grinding. Also a non-stupid way of getting the top ability awakening mats that isn't 80k King Mog shitcakes (when you finally get a character with abilities you want to awaken which makes getting them completely non-exciting)

My current Crimson Blood : DracoSpike moogles is ~20:1. Each complete Crimson Blood will net me 5% of DragoSpike. Thanks Gatcha! :rolldice:

At the very least Global exclusive buffs to Delit's ability upgrades pretty much make him the single best breaker in the game, for now. It's short-lived but he might find some use yet.
Queen's sole purpose though is dropping LB crystals and esper orbs at this point with her neverending attack animation. She coyld get the same treatment with ability awakenings though.

for some reason the stupid rear end snatched away quest will not trigger for me. the vaults are loving annoying

Won't trigger as in the quest won't start or as in the thieves in Mysidia Underground - Exploration don't show up?
If it won't start, did you run Snowy Woods - Exploration and get Flamering key 6 which gives the Yakei katana?
If the thieves in Mysidia Underground don't show up, did you talk to both the girl and an old woman in Sorcerer's Hideaway?

I missed talking to the old woman in Sorcerer's Hideaway after starting the quest, so I had to re-run Mysidia Underground to encounter the thieves after doing that.

Getting my rear end kicked by Veritas of the Heavens at the village in the mountains, and I can't summon a friend for that fight. I got a Xiao today, is she worth using as a breaker?

Yeah I was talking about this with my wife last night. Last summer when the game was shiny and new Golbez (and a lot of other now garbage tier characters) got a lot of very useful mileage on our teams. I wish they'd give him a relevant 6 star form at some point.

You have Rain, just use Undermine. That is your break. After that he gets stupid easy.

Unless we have a random maze event the only times you get 6* mats is King Moogle, Maze, Daily buys, or lapis bundles.

okay if I wanted to try and 1shot the dark espers (Siren/Ifrit) should I use 2 edgars + 4 Setzers, or 3 edgars + 3 Setzers? And I assume I use double dice after chainsaws and just hope for the best?

2 Edgars will max the chain multiplier so 2 Edgar + 4 Setzer is the best option. I think Double Dice is the right move but someone should verify.

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.

Can confirm. Been running this for over a week and it's rocksolid. No crashes since I updated.

It would probably be better if people kept their Orlandeus on Odin for right now because of the event.

Now, if someone gets tired of the event as some Goons are wont to do, and put Ifrit on their Orlandeus, please let us know here. :)

I just swapped my leader to Reberta. She's at 886 ATK and equipped with Excalibur for chaining/imperil/Bahamut weakness.

Uh... There wouldn't be a chance that any of you guys have a Light-equipped Reberta? It would be fun to try out the chaining. Her frame data shows that she should be a great, easy to use chainer.

No idea how useful she is in general though.

edit - Trip report:

Reberta + Reberta = 27x element chain, destroyed Bahamut

Reberta + Orlandeau = a bunch of disparate element chains, destroyed Bahamut


edit 2 - I've been thinking about biting the bullet and maxing out unit slots. gently caress it:

Sorry for spamming the thread lately but I just posted a damage comparison of Reberta to Orlandeau on Bahamut: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/6bfp7c/reberta_orlandeau_damage_comparison_vs_bahamut/

TL;DR, preforms almost identical if you can match Holy element vs. Bahamut. Her damage will fall off vs. non-dragon targets but can be shored up by exploiting her debuff kit with Fryevia's Needle or the like.
