So my last summer pull was Refia, my first copy. Is Y'shtola better then her, or should I swap healers?

If you have a source of dual cast (Soul of Thamasa from T.Terra or dual cast materia from Ludmille) then Refia's comparable to Y'shtola. Refia gets Full Raise, Embolden to buff ATK&DEF, and is immune to the worst status effects for casters. Y'shtola has a DEF&SPR buff, a single target full heal that isn't a spell so it can't be dual cast, and with her exclusive weapon and armor and can equip a shield is a bit more durable than Refia. It's basically up in the air!

Do you have dualcast materia to give her? If so Refia is arguably better, but I think they each have their roles where you'd use them. If you don't have dualcast Y'Shtola is hands down superior.

Ran one last story dungeon last night and was 10 NRG short so I decided to use one of those energy pots. Apparently I have 55 10NRG pots built up already. :eyepop:

Y'shtola's LB is also a damage reduction effect, but we've got Rikku now it doesn't matter nearly as much.

e: Tossed a couple tickets at the banner, got another Garnet (gonna need to TM grind one or both of mine some day) and Xon #3 along with more Almas and other junk.

I didn't get my 10+1 (that's tomorrow), but I did do some pulls and got a Fryvia. I could use some Fryvia tips, though I'm not sure how well she fits with my existing squad.

Build her for MAG+dual wield (genji glove preferred), get her TM sword+enhancer, and as many letters and arms as you can. She really only chains well with herself but she's stupid strong.

Ok, so she's being filed under Long-Term Projects, then. I have almost none of those things.

I have to do a few runs of the event, but I should have a decent Agrias by the end of the day. I just need awakening mats, I think I have enough cactuars. I saw a recommended build for her the other day, but I forget what it was.

What's the preferred friend unit build / weapon element for Agrias/Gaffgarion for the event? The second to last boss and the boss' flunkies are immune to light but the boss itself isn't. Is it worth going light element and relying on DR's light resist down to damage the trash and then DR chain the boss to death? Or just swap to fire weapons (Crimson Saber, Chirijiraden, Vernard, Flametongue, etc.) or so?

I haven't done Elite yet due to cactuar farming. I'm currently sharing a 595 ATK lv100 Agrias with Excalibur, Diabolos for Devil & Man Killer, and I stuck the Man Eater materia and Sun Barrette on for an extra Devil & Man Killer.

I checked the boss page too, Ultima's vulnerable to breaks but of course that just makes Ultima use even stronger attacks. drat break traps :argh:

I think the general consensus was using a fire weapon for Agrias. I have Rain's trial sword on one and a vernard on another and they 1 shot the last boss lady.

If you can get her TM and a dual wield to start she can still beast through a lot of stuff.

Ultima for sure. It turns it into a chain attack and reduces the MP cost. Plus, you're not using those black magic crysts on anything else.

Pro tip: you can use the Manufactured Nethicite ability from the story event to stuff High Seraph's Ultima. Ultima probably won't kill a max Agrias so it doesn't save you much time, but it might help with the no KO quest if nothing else.

Hello all you REM havers, I'm begging/pleading for you to switch out your Agrias for your whale REM this weekend so that I may attempt Aiagaion. I need her to be able to survive a typical Aigaion turn, so please max out her SPR and DEF as best you can!

If anybody needs a MP battery, I've got Bran pimped out and posted as my friend. He can sing 50 MP per turn and is very well protected.

She (Fryevia) is definitely someone to build for. I can certainly understand not having the gear for her but depending on your current state of units she might be worth prioritizing. She's very powerful.

I thought they were intentionally made to look more like FFT sprites. They kind of did this in the last FFT event.

I took both of mine to level 100 for the arena. Absolutely worth it because 4x stop-inflicting AOE shuts down anything. Evasion tanks might evade the damage at first, but stop can still land and once it does they can't evade any more.

She's on last week's banner which you can still pull on but she's also sharing the gold crystal rate up with Refia. I think she just got a 6* form in Japan so until that rolls around in 6+ months I'd be surprised if she showed up on a banner again. There might be some other event like the Global exclusive Bahamut raid where Firion and Kain got on the banner but I wouldn't bet on it.
