Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

Here's the reddit post about the EX system from January when it launched there.

Basically it's a VIP reward for people that buy Lapis, with the last reward being an exclusive unit somewhere around the $450 USD mark, theoretically 4 of the $100 USD lapis bundles and 1 of the $50s will get you everything, it's possible they'll increase the cost to an even 5 of the $100 USD bundles. You won't get anything retroactively, so if you're thinking about buying Lapis you should probably wait until after the system goes into effect, however other than the guaranteed 5* ticket and the unit, you aren't missing much. Of course we don't know that the rewards will be the same so wait and see I guess.

Oh right, it's the TM reward from that unit I was thinking of:
Wield Two Weapons & +15% ATK when equipped with Katana & +15% ATK when equipped with Sword & +15% ATK when equipped with Dagger & +15% ATK when equipped with Greatsword

Can't wait to see that on some Whale Orlandu buddies. :getin:

Waylay lets you steal items and gil from all enemies, which is handy for explorations. The main thing though is Twist of Fate, since it steals buffs from enemies and applies them to your team, which sounds nifty until you see the insane buffs that bosses from trials and events can give themselves and you realize Xon can steal poo poo like +999% DEF/SPR and he becomes a game changer.

Drop bonus
Steal from all enemies at once is useful in some events
Main thing is the ability to steal buffs from enemies and apply it to your party. Combined dispell and party-wide buff, sometimes a pretty big one.

dumped a ton of tickets into the banner, did every daily, no ilias or amelia. Maybe if im lucky one will show up as an off banner in the BF banner, units always seem to have a tendency to do that.

The only base 5* units I've ever gotten are Noctis and White Knight Noel. All my other 6* are base 4*.

So anything will prob be nice. Even another Noct.

i think delita is the only truly "bad" 5* pull because he doesn't really actually do anything, although his TM is an extremely good sword so i suppose there's that.

then again for the most part a lot of the 5* mages are just pvp units? it frustrates me that ramza is an only okay to use in the arena but eventually he will have his ridiculous enhancements, the other mages have to wait a long time to be really strong in pve i think.

Agreed. Outside of lightning cheeze builds she really isnt a good unit at all. A moonsword is very useful if you get to pull Dark Veritas and dont have a DRK Cecil. Also you could POTENTIALLY make a useful support Delita if you can stack enough SPR and get 9Ss TM.

my Delita gets a bit of a workout basically enabling one turn clears with those gigantic defence and spr breaks. combine delita break with minfilia attack buff, 2 chainers, and someone to finish the chain, and you can kill a lot of things in one turn you otherwise couldnt.

I have pulled Gilgamesh, Olive and Dark Fina as my only 5* base units. I deserve something awful but honestly I don't even know that I'd mind any unit aside from Emperor maybe? I have 4 Zyrus so I don't really need his TMR. Even Queen seems like a decent tank TMR...? I know I don't have much better currently anyway. At least with lightning I could work on my own evasion cheese unit but obviously Noctis would be miles better for that.

Having 3 5*s puts you well ahead of curve, remember :v:
