Some of us feel lucky after pulling Tilith. Sometimes, that lucky feeling is rewarded.

That's it? 3 levels, the last I can almost auto-attack through?

This is going to be a boring week.

Also, daily + 3 tickets was Edgar, Gau, Cyan and Gau. The ole FFVI screwjob. I'm done, Gumi.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
The only base 5* I've pulled have been Noctis and two Emperors. Other rainbows were Chizuru and Kuja. I'm pretty much the best if you ever need someone to pull a unit that's not useful at all. Proof? I made pulls today to try to get banner bonus units:

This is what I got:

Daily - Clyne
Ticket #1 - Xiao
Ticket #2 - Cyan
Ticket #3 - Edge
Ticket #4 - Krile

Like, who else but me would have a stretch of pulls that bad? I think it's best to not try to pull. Ever. Don't pull.

Lol three pulls, two tilliths. I assume there's never a situation where I'd need two in the same team?

I mean, aside from the farming bonus

All right, Daily pull!... Blue crystal... Penelo

Sigh ok, let's try a ticket!... Blue crystal... Penelo

Why do I bother :(

And knowing my luck, when they give us the free 10+1 pull, I'm going to my 3rd 5* base ever after playing for an entire year, another Delita.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
Took me 10 tickets before I pulled Karl, going to stop there and save for FFX.

Outside of Cecil and Miyuki putting me 5% closer to the second version of their weapons, overall it was a pretty yucky set of pulls.

I may skip dailies since these units are all base 4*, get 10000 lapis for one pull of FFX and one pull of the guaranteed 5*

Did my half pull and 10 ticket pulls and got a bunch of troll yellows (xon, sohze, Rosa, agrias, 2 karls!) shadowned and Bediled .

Thought "What the hell, I'll use my 4* guaranteed ticket"



:stare: well, that's nice, but I still want Titlith...

Sorry guys. At least I didn't pull Vargas?

did about 35 draws on gunmaid and chemist banner, didnt get a single on banner gold once, ever.
Threw 15 tickets at this banner, didnt get a single on gold banner once, ever
desperate to have SOMETHING to level up, i threw a 10+1 at this banner:

60 draws and the only on-banner gold I got is Karl. only tickets left are the base 4* ones and every single event one i havent gotten yet.
with this luck, im going to be screwed when rikku shows up.

Sorry guys, I stole all the luck. 3 10+1's and 30ish tickets fishing for the fashion disaster, and I finally got one in my last pull, but along the way the RNG tried to placate me with Emperor, Elza, AND Vargas.

2 tickets to get my first Tilith. 5 more tickets because I'm an idiot (and I wanted more of a bonus b/c Firion can solo ELT easily), and I can't believe we have a banner with no 3* units. This is cruel to anyone who started after Maxwell.

E: Sweet christ, 25 NRG for 384 Crimson Ore before bonus. Just 25k-35k for one of the new accessories! Of which there are 3.

12 tickets for my Tilith (and three other off-banner golds in the process).

Christ the cost of these new exclusive accessories is ridiculous. 35k event currency for the evade accessory. I guess they figured that thing the bonus units are all higher than people would have an easier time to get the currency.

With Maxwell, Seria, Karl, Tilith and a friend Maxwell I'm getting about 2k currency a run. Can a pimped out Maxwell carry the whole thing alone? I'm considering rolling for a 5th unit if he can.

With a dual wield 600 ATK+ Maxwel, she can carry. Use Genesis to one shot rounds one and two (and any metal gods). Then use Destiny on Vargas in two turns. If you need a third turn, you probably gonna die.

Jesus. I don't know if it's just me, but Metal God rates are insane.

First run I had 1, second run had 2 and third run had a triple Metal God. Two runs later I see 2 more.
After using 360 energy I had 96K of the event currency. Was able to buy the 3 new pieces of equipment from the Mog King in one go.

Thank you very much everyone from a few pages back that sent me their cool units to help me get that Whitebrim! It still took me two tries since my party is awful but I got it finally :)

Spent four tickets today: Gold Crystal which mysteriously turned Rainbow = Fohlen. Another rainbow crystal = Fohlen again, then Seria Twice. I really wanted to pull Fohlen, and now I have two + two dudes that get bonuses from the event.

My luck seems to be pretty limited to single pulls though. Spent 5000 Lapis on 11 pulls and I got Fran, Panelo, Sabin, Shadow twice, and a bunch of others I forget. Nothing really spectacular for like 40 bucks of Lapis. Not doing that again!

Do any of the maneater abilities stack- I know the materia doesn't stack with itself, but what about innate or via esper? I'm trying to build the strongest Maxwell I can to help carry people, and right now I'm at 697 with Odin and the man-eater materia equipped. I could swap to Diablos if the esper one stacks, or drop the materia for an attack +30% instead if it doesn't.

Esper granted killers do stack with materia killers. So Diablos and a maneater materia do stack. They also stack with a unit that has an innate killer like Firion.

Pulling 2 of the same rainbow, especially a guy that chains is awesome.

Also the 'killer' effect from other materia stack like Poach can stack on itself, and Aquan/Dragon killer can both stack onto Syldra's Protection. They made this easier to tell by making other copies unequippable, so if you can equip both things: then they stack.

Yes it's confirmed. You can't get a second Maxwell, it's the same fight as last time. Instead they've added a higher ELT difficulty for the whales that has ticket and moogle rewards, etc.

I got two more Tickets from the moogle king: Zidane and Cloud of Darkness. Zidane has Dual Wield as a Trust Master thing so I guess I should get around to automating Trust farming now, wince I assume that's something I should try to get asap?

And Cloud of Darkness, I have no idea what this unit is about but it looks super cool and I see it suggested all over the place so I'll definitely use it!

Edit: How do you guys manage to not instantly run out of Energy? I get 67 max at rank 27, and was able to semi-comfortably play the game regularly since I could run Raids along with questlines from "The Gathering" to rank up pretty much just as I ran out of energy, but now I just do like 4 things and I'm totally dry.

Cloud of Darkness is a good starter unit that can carry you through most (if not all) of the story content with ease once you get her maxed out. Unfortunately she is overshadowed by other better units for end game content and trials. That said, when properly geared, she can be quite beneficial. It's just that most of us have been playing long and have pulled better units.

Her best gear is to dual wield (from your new Zidane) the rising sun throwing weapon that Locke has as a TM. Then gear for as much ATK as you can.
