Daily pull was Ashe. Two tickets got me another Setzer and another Vaan. Wish I had kept some of those Vaans around, I'm at 55% from mashing my Vaans together.

I don't think I'm going to be lucky enough to pull a Rasler.

Got three Golds in a row: Snow/Rikku/Ashe. Already had a Rikku but this is good.

Also I guess Ashe would love the Enhancer, but right now it's glued to Fryevia, unless Ashe makes better use of it? I'm not sure if she really has a place in my team unless I really need to go full-mage.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
Time to pull, wanted to use 4* ticket first, but clicked the wrong button and pulled Arc.

Decided to do the daily pull next. Oh poo poo, rainbow! Emperor #4....



Ha ha nope! Finally my streak of 5* Emperors is broken!

I'm watching my roommate rip 47x SPARK chains with Tidus's Quick Hit, manually, like it's nothing. This is a legit gamechanger and makes Fryevia/Aileen/Tidus/Reberta/Vaan/Yun/Fohlen loving gods for us plebians who don't macro chains.

This thing makes no elemental chain mages like T.Terra and D.Fina beasts. Doesn't fully equalize the gap, because spark chaining is stronger than elemental chaining by default, so they benefit just as much from it, but the attacks being AOE makes the very useful for some encounters

Burned my 4 tickets hoping to get some more bonus units beyond my 1 Vaan. Got Ashe, then Vaan, then Zargabaath, and another Lenna. I've got more 5*s than I know what to do with now after living with Chizuru for the last year. Pulled a Frevia and Noctis last week.

The chaining options this opens up is crazy. I think we're going to see a lot of Aileens, Fohlens, Yuns, Tiduses, Fryevias, etc. coming out of the friends list woodwork to replace Orlandeau with this newfound tip.

edit- To my fellow Evade lovers, I just stumbled upon this wiki page that lists all current evade units/materia/etc. like the list that was posted earlier in this thread:

Huh, I had no idea there was a wiki page on it. I even did the wiki survey last night and on the comments page suggested a dodge page! I'll add it to my dodge post then!

Threw 10 tickets at the banner, got 4 Vaans and my 4 gold crystals were leon, hope, zyrus, and some other off-banner dupe I forget already. There's no goddamn way getting on-banner units is a 50/50 chance when it comes to 4 stars.

Which heroes should I use for Chaining?

I currently have:

2 Amelias
4 Setzers
1 Orlandeau

Not sure who I want. I mean Orlandeau is pretty good as long as I have a friendleau with me.

Orlandeau. He's better than those other two by a significant margin and a pair of them will do shitloads of damage on their own. Make lots of friends.

Native (gun) dual wield and an AOE stop ability makes her really good. I have her and a dual wielding Lasswell in my arena team this week due to no black magic. I'm strongly considering leveling my 2nd Amelia because those ribbon-wearing whale teams can't resist Stop. Even just one Amelia using her high hit count AOE last week would occasionally fill my esper gauge entirely. Which then lead to me using Odin to instantly KO the survivors who didn't have a genji shield or safety bit. :black101:

Nope, Rasler is pretty awful. Maybe he'll have a use if there's a boss that deals nothing but Light damage.

His TMR is A+ good though.

I just hit a Thunderbug and a Bomb in one run. Wish I had a better bonus than 325%.

Not as good as the last event for sure, but the price of the gear is a lot lower. Unfortunately, the awakening mats are still the normal price.

Because 6* Vaan can cast immunity to Stop effects.

That doesn't make it a good reason.

It's stingy, but the weapons and materia are reasonably priced and the bugs and bombs have been frequent for me at least.

It's still no where near as generous as Brave Frontier was.

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
Kinda wish they would at the very least lower the price of the Gian/Purecrysts a bit. As it is I can usually just barely afford to get 3 giancrysts and 1 purecryst if I'm running the event all the time and still trying to get all the unique items and tickets. I just want to max out Elza's abilities before she gets made completely obsolete by the chaining meta. :smith:

edit: Has anyone checked if the Zodiac Spear stacks with a doublehand materia/skill? I'm curious if it just works as a weapon with innate doublehand that will stack with other sources or if it's considered something else.

Pretty good for new players. It's just a shame they don't scale to experienced players because there isn't any materia that work well with them. If they give us a 2h Mastery that would help a lot. On a finisher dual wield is less of a necessity so giving us a +100% ATK with 2h weapons would be really nice.

She's a great mage party extra slot character. She breaks def/spr, buffs mag/spr and has a decent chaining, damage and healing spell in Heaven's Fury. She's not great at anything but gives you damage, healing, buffs and breaks.
