Seriously, why are there 3 Type-0 banners. Does anyone actually like this game?

At least it'll finally be over after this. I'm giving this entire banner a pass.

No matter how lovely the banner I always need awakening mats and moogles if nothing else.

Burned 6 tickets, got Zyrus. :toot:

Also finished my Firion TM though I doubt I'll make much use of it. If nothing else, this event will give me up to 6 Gungnirs (since I only have 6 Kains atm) which will ensure any spear-wielders I have will never lack a decent weapon I guess.

I finally got around to doing the Dark Espers trial today and wound up using Firion's TM to let Xon equip Demon Mail (for the dark resist). BTW, not that it probably matters for anyone here, but Xon is hilariously good for that trial, what with all the self-buffing they do.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
I just wish previous type-0 units would still give a bonus, but that means nobody would pull on the new banner and Gumi wouldn't get any money from those that have to chase every 5* unit in the game :v:

If you care about King Mog events, then Type 0 part 3 is worth a half pull each day, but save your tickets. If you snag Rem, hooray, but she's not worth whaling for. She's a healer/mage but Yshtola does that so much better. Her piece de resistance is her 3 turn autorevive to 80% which can and should be used to break fights. Otherwise she requires daggers to be useful and there are no mage daggers for a while. Rikku is a base four coming out soon and she will have an AOE autorevive, so just wait for her.

Also, King sucks and Sice sucks.

You'll want King for his TM because it stacks with Auto refresh and Vestment(15% mana regen a turn) which will easily cover your healer in terms of never needing mana during a fight.

It's funny after I saw they gave him "Dual Wield: Guns" I thought he might be a lot better but his kit is so lovely.

Eh, I'm getting the low priced 6* mats, maybe the MAG dagger (if it isn't ridiculously priced), moogles and the summon tickets and just go back to TMR. No half pulls, no ticket pulls, and a slow burn for the mats.

Knowing Gumi we are going to get 2-3 more banners till we get the FFX one. FFBE anniversary, FF anniversary (Will probably incorporate WoL and Garlands 6*?), Brave Frontier Pt2, Global summer event

I loving hate phantoma/fish events. They need to take an axe to cost of items because even with a full team of junk banner units you are still struggling to get most of the goodies.

m2sbr what
Equip H Armor (with Demon Mail) can combo with Dark Knight's Soul decently enough for some ATK-based units. Maybe not as good as some other forced combos, but sometimes you gotta take what you can get.

I know they do this to get people to whale on the 5* unit for the free TMR, but I really wish they'd balance them out a little better. Almost have my 3rd gungnir, my 2nd h armor is about 50% complete, but my first draco spike is only 40% done, and I've sold probably about 50 Crimson Blood moogles.

I wish I'd saved my extra Refias, would have saved me a lot of time grinding her TM.

Daily pull gave me a dragon girl, my 4th real rainbow!

My haul from this banner/event has gotten sweet. A Reberta, 2 Zyrus, all their TMRs, at least two Equip Heavy Armor TMRs, and a pile of Gungirs.

I'll have to figure out how to gear her, and if she's a better friend unit than Gilgamesh.

Optimal gearing is if you have Leon's TM and can give her Delita's sword, and of course a Genji Glove. Just read the ATK 30%s as Quick Assault, I was too lazy to scroll down and select it.

Phantasmal Blade instead of Moonblade drops her to 946 ATK.

Using Gungnir, Monster Breastplate and another attack 30% instead of Dark Knight's Soul gets her to 923 attack.

Once Spear Mastery arrives she'll get 38~ ATK more.

I have Randi's sword instead of Delita's, but was already TMRing most of that up for Gilgamesh. Equipping her AND greg isn't awful, since greg uses a different weapon set and mastery materias. Will have to TMR shines 2-6 at some point, though.

Trick the system by throwing away one of the TM moogles for the unit you want. Results guaranteed to disappoint

I thought that outfit enabled the Evade active skill, not that it gave some passive evade rate?
