I've had "Hide your kids hide your wives" and "Oh father where art thou" sitting in my Expeditions menu for like 3 days, I don't even dare try them but I don't wanna shuffle them away either. Also I can't beat Maxwell ELT with no deaths. I'm not sure who my 6th party member should be. I'm using Noctis, Willhelm, Tilith, Minfilia, and a friend Orlandeau with Deathbringer (his Crush weapon makes him better than Fryevia who only has an Atk debuff). Maybe Yshtola or Cecil would work?

For no deaths you need to have everyone gaurd on every fifth turn when she casts Destiny. That's hard to survive if she decimates you on the previous turn, cause your healer can't heal and instead must gaurd. You also have to keep ATK/MAG break up when you guard, so you make sure it's not expiring on that turn. Make sure the Light Resistance buff doesn't expire then either. You may have to have the squishier members of your party guard every fourth turn as well when she uses rune and sacred song.

Got 155 relics this week with 2 days left. Can't really hate on the expedition system when I get a day and a half to run whatever 20% silly poo poo while still getting the weekly 5% moogle.

I'm playing this very casually and am still on island #2. I guess there is no way for me to get Maxwell ? I have a couple of decent 5* units like Luneth and Reberta but no Diablos or worthwhile items or materia. Is a carry impossible under these circumstances ?

I had been farming the BF event, and almost forgot about half price stamina on the world map. Slowly trying to go through and finish all the missions. I may actual get done by Thursday at this rate (I had already done most, just have a a fair number of 2/3 stars). Only annoying thing is figuring out who has what ability when I need to use it, and the 'evoke x' missions. Also, I have a few spots available and can make more. 632883386, my Maxwell can solo the regular event dungeon and after that I'll put my Cid back up.

What're the best Purecrysts to grab?

Almost every mission I'm being offered now is 12hr or 1d and A-S rank. If this keeps up I probably won't hit 160 for the week (already at 146) simply because of how drat long these take for a maybe 50% success rate. I used my free shuffle immediately this morning because I had nothing but 1d missions and they were A/S/S rank, which I have to imagine is gumi intentionally trolling me.

Can't really hate on the expedition system when I get a day and a half to run whatever 20% silly poo poo while still getting the weekly 5% moogle. I have no idea how you managed that. Expeditions on average seem to take at least 8 hours and the gently caress if I'm paying for rerolls. I'm at like 110 and failed 3 expeditions. I haven't been doing them too judiciously but these longer expeditions suck. Apparently you can start them, a new one will spawn, then you can cancel the one you sent. It still costs you the money and item, but apparently that's a way to see a few extra ones. If you cancel it just goes back into your the pool so you'll still have to do it, maybe. I suppose I can't complain that much because it wasn't terribly hard to get to 120 relics, so an extra 100 Lapis and a Summon ticket every week for free is pretty nice. I saw the Enchanted Maze is up with the new level, gave it a run. First room: Giant Metal Cactuar, materials: holy crystal, fury stone. Go into a door. Room exit into the same room. Hmm, that's strange. Go into another door: end of maze and 1 more GMC. Thanks Gumi.

You can make as many mistakes as you want but the length is random? Also if you don't make mistakes the next encounter will have more enemies (1 Gigantuar -> Two King Gil Snappers etc...), but if you start a streak after failing once it won't count.

That's correct, a canceled expedition is sent back to the new expedition pool. If you have less than three expeditions in the new pool it'll give you a new one. So if you have an rear end combo you could send one out w/o the item to get a new third expedition, cancel the one you just sent out to get the slot and units back, then do the new one and then finally reroll the rear end combo away for example. For Maxwell I changed my friend unit to a Diabolos Cecil with his light resist jacked up to 95% (I haven't done the Ultros trial yet so I don't have the Hero Shield for an extra +10% light resist). Hopefully it'll help some players with getting the Maxwell unit but I doubt Cecil is going to clear that trial on his own. Summon challenges are obnoxious as hell.

CryHavoc's Wilhelm makes me want one so bad. I used him with a 95% evade Cecil, Tillith, Ling, and Fryevia to roll over the octopus trial. Snow probably could've done it but gently caress all that.

I THINK the old maze was 66% chance of picking the right now, since two were correct right? This one is straight up 1 door is right, which even given the extra chances, means that you get hosed even worse than before.

I can field a team that is able to get the summon up pretty quickly but it's basically chain deaths trying to actually get the summon off. The difficult part is that I don't have much to work with so a gimmick fight I just have to brute force my way through. I have no provoke tank, I have no great breaker and my y'shtola dies to a stiff breeze without someone to take most of the direct damage. I've been primarily focusing on damage because it's the easiest way to work through everything - kill it before it gets dangerous. The summon is all about survival AND still killing it which I can't do. Is there anyone else to look out for that's a dps with atk/mag break? I have an Elza to work on so I can rely on Madness Rush for the def/spi break. The only one that comes to mind is Orlandu with Crush Weapon.

why the gently caress does Maxwell have a no KO Condition when he has a move that removes buffs and then randomly Delete someone He can still delete someone WITH the buffs on and having his Atk/Mag broken.

I can't do absurd damage with them yet but double Setzer still hits a lot if nothing else. If I can get Minifilia up to snuff before Maxwell goes away I'll give her a shot. It's just that on a relatively new/low-level account I only have so many resources to go around. Any cacti I get generally go directly into someone that needs levels. I nearly have a (very unoptimal) team of 6* 100s now with mostly terrible gear.

I think what Shoenin's talking about is the Rune & Sacred Song combo on turn 4 where Maxwell removes all your buffs (including light resistance and any protect), buffs her own attack, then buffs your defense and light resistance before randomly exploding on you. I did the trial twice and that combo is what dropped somebody from full but not guarding. It's the only round I take significant damage in, with various light resist gear spread around, Carbunkle, and Minfilia's Shining Guard Maxwell does almost no damage until it's Rune & Sacred Song time.

Yea, I'm referring to Destiny too which is untyped magical and does 160% HP damage. Guarding causes it to do 80%. She does it right after Rune/SS on turn 5 so yea, it's a rough combo. The best way to avoid that is to push her past a threshold on T4 or T5. Her other super hard hitting move is Meteor which is something like 4200 fixed Light damage which can be mitigated by resists.

I have given up on Maxwell entirely. It's a waste of energy to attempt it any more when she can literally just annihilate my entire team on a whim. I've never seen neither of my Fohlens die that fast outside of Arena fights where Setzer or Dark Fina petrify both of them simultaneously because gently caress you that's why. Maybe in a few months I'll have enough strong units to make a very specific team to take Maxwell on but for now gently caress this dumb fight.

Sadly i dont have the amount of garnets required to make that.
