At least a week into the current grind fest event they're deigning to give you a chance at reducing the grind for the second half if a friend can carry you through Maxwell.

They couldn't have done it at the beginning though because

yeah it's worth trying as anytime i pull first thing in the morning i tend to get the same 3*s while good pulls have come at various other times like a few hours later

it's the same thing with getting higher rates on previous banner units in the current banner, random in this game isn't really

I'll probably just use the half story mission nrg thing as an excuse to grind the everliving gently caress out of Alluring Winds. Too bad it's not just half nrg use period.

No, but I used this video from the wiki, it uses Bartz, Cecil, Ling, Yshtola and a friend Olive. The video description has their loadouts.

It went about as smoothly as the video.

I could put up my Ling if you don't have one, all the Olive (which I don't have) is there for is her True Shot, she could be replaced with Setzer or somebody else, maybe Firion. Someone with a good single target attack that ignores defenses.

Banner looks like trash, a bunch of mediocre story characters but now with some water resistance and a low chance to charm an enemy for one turn. I think Halloween Lid is better than Summer Lid given how Hex Strike worked out.

Oh boy, summer units. Sigh. And it's probably replacing BF for dailies, so my chances to get Tilith drop even more.

Finally remembered to burn my raid tokens:

1, almost 2 more Y'shtola TMs
3 Minfilia TMs
3 Yda TMs
5 Papalymo TMs
Many Thancred TMs.

Ended up at 1579/325 units. Trying to level anything I might ever want to level even for gimmick setups. So.Many.Units. :v:

Not pulling on the summer banner. I just want Tilith.

I didn't mean that as a fact, I meant that a large amount of computer generated random numbers in general use time() as a seed, because it's a highly volatile variable. It's just a seed though, your time of day really won't make a difference after the computer's done with the generation algorithms.

I'm open to thread title suggestions for the new thread, which I will post on the 28th. Best I can come up with is...

Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius - Featuring Classic FF Character Ariana Grande

Alternately I was considering a title that was informative based on the Anniversary.

Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius - 1 Year Anniversary; Good Time for New Players!

Skyridge posted:

Equip Staff and SPR boosting gear, though personally I'd consider slapping some HP+% on her as well. If you have Wilhelm then his TM shield and equip H shield is probably the way to go.

# ? Jun 20, 2017 20:07

Scrublord Prime: Nov 27, 2007

For Tilith MP boosting gear and MP regen is good since her abilities are pretty costly (45MP for her AoE full cure, 70 MP for her AoE Full Life, her base MP is 185 + 65 from pots so she really needs some work there) so sustainability is good. After that anything that gives her staying power. DEF for physical attacks, SPI for magic attacks, HP for both. Equip Staff from Roselia and Staff of Wrath for +20 DEF and +40 SPI is good but requires getting said Equip Staff TM. Equip L/H Shield and a good shield help too. She doesn't have any innate status immunity either so keep that in mind too. Her AoE status heal doesn't help if she's the one petrified!

Well, I can put my Ling up if you change your mind later.

The strategy in that video will take Echidna down in about 10 minutes, and is fairly safe.

You know, seeing that CG cutscene made me realize that Fina is using a very white mage inspired outfit and that dark fina, although not using something blackmagey, is still a black mage. Then Maiden of the White Lotus Fina is a merger of both and is using a red mage like outfit.

Evil Fluffy: Jul 13, 2009; Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

I didn't want to evolve stuff like my 2nd Setzer or extra Agrias dupes for future DR spam, but even after finding everything I'd want to level I still had over 150 king metaltaurs left. After selling to get down under my unit cap (now 375) I still have 86 of them, so the next several units I get that I want to take to 6* and max level will already have all the XP waiting for it.

I'm down under 70 Calamity Gems though, and under 60 sacred/holy crystals each for the first time in god knows how long.

jetz0r posted:

I had 537k raid coins. Needless to say I'd have been a bit upset had I forgotten to spend them.

I double checked, got 15 Thancred TMs this time. Currently sitting at 27 of his TMs. :v:

Also:

The Gathering Ends with the upcoming maintenance on the 22nd too (late tomorrow night) and needs a lot of NRG to clear from start to finish so anyone who's been procrastinating should run what they can. :siren:
