I think the game is punishing me for getting a rainbow on my last freebie pull. I haven't seen a single bonus unit yet.

Welp, preparing for the Dark Esper trial to get Upgraded Waifu Agrias a large sword mastery has taught me that when you spend a long time very carefully setting up a team with very specific requirements and get their gear and abilities set just so right before the game crashes... you lose all that poo poo. Starting the process all over again and making sure to return to the home screen after each step now :suicide:

edit: Jesus gently caress, the app is crashing every 3 turns in this trial, I'm in hell (but I only need to survive and summon Ifrit and I'm golden).

double edit: and Snow died like the useless piece of poo poo he usually is. Rip 120 energy so far on this loving trial

Triple edit: Now that I've done the 5 people and esper requirements it should be easier to just go in and trounce them though; it looks like Snow dying was a freak accident that probably won't happen again - it wasn't even on a threshold attack, I don't know what the gently caress.

Burned 7 tickets trying to get any new characters on this banner. Got a shiny new Knight Delita, and looking for more goon friends.

632,883,386

He is already at max level and over 800atk so he can carry his own weight in this event.
Let me know if it says I'm full; I have plenty of pubbies I can kick.

I'm running cactuar dunes but I don't even know who I want to level. I could take my 2nd Agrias to 100 but I already have Cid and so leveling another Agrias just seems like a waste of materials really (since I'd have to use the rune blade if I ran all 3 of them anyways). Rem's almost to 100 so that's only a slight xp detour in the meanwhile.

Dark Fina is my latest cactuar investment and after that... I dunno. A second Ashe? Kelsius? King?

EDIT: Got a rainbow on my 10+1!

Yeah, there's no boosted rate, it's just 11 more regular pulls that could theoretically turn into a 9S.

The a secondary reason I want a remaster of Nier for the PS4 is the possibility of a Nier banner where I can get The Good Boy.

They are super low. But if you want to wait just tell yourself if you pull now it's going to be the same garbage you'll get if you wait. But at least you had that hundredth of a percent chance to get something good. And hey. Maybe you'll get lucky.

I only just got my first Setzer and my first Amelia on the 10+1 ticket. I get the feeling that if I play long enough I'll eventually get most, if not all, the 4*s.

Tried Aigaion three times and managed to gently caress it up each time through mental errors. Thanks to those who hosted their REMs, you can switch em back if you want. I'm done with that rear end in a top hat till Ramza's enhancements come out during the second anniversary.

I kinda want to give it a shot now that my Fryevia's up to snuff (the only things I could use to improve her are Genji Glove, a second Needle, and Luneth's TM - good loving luck on any of that), but spending 200 energy to get everything out of the dark esper trial yesterday was loving draining.

Okay, no problem.

There's got to be a way to get the robot done using two Orlandeus. Maybe switching Excalibur off for Apocalypse or Vargas's sword or something... It wouldn't be the cakewalk two Fryevias is, but perfectly chaining Divine Ruinations while the others keep a defensive matrix up has to be doable.

:negative: my entire friends list switched over to Agrias now. Which is nice I guess, more bonus for the bonus god and all. Except the only ones not using excalibur are ones with like 100 attack. My Olive stops just slightly shy of one shotting the whole last wave and the boss loves using grand cross to blind her.

IDK if you're on my friend list but mine is around 540ish with non-excalibur and diablos as their esper. I'll probably swap out her weapons to brotherhood and vernard at some point.

Try single-target nuking the boss and letting the demons do whatever. It's likely more survivable than letting her Grand Cross.
