Yeah, ultima actually hits harder than anything else in the boss fight I think. I can fix blind. I can't really fix getting ultima'd without a healer.

Always get exclusive gear

(so you can put them on expedition units)

But yeah, nothing special about these. There's better always available greatswords (Apocalypse, Crimson Saber, Blood Sword) and the dagger is the strongest non-TMR non-event dagger but except to new players a +72 ATK 30% sleep dagger isn't anything special. I'd pick them up because there's not much else to spend currency on besides extra 6* awakening mats or giant/pure crysts. Reactive Defense is probably the only thing that's worth picking up because maybe it'll be helpful in some niche strategy.

And don't forget about using Siren for Attack Song.

2 units doing DPS, 3 units using Attack Song, Mog Song, whatever.

Then you just need to direct the friend unit and hit Repeat.

I think the health you'd get from a second arshas instead of the celestial would trump the small increase in defense.

Take it from some one that tossed Xon, Fryevia, Reberta and Zyrus's moogles, and then ended up getting them with in a week or 2 after their banner...you will hate yourself later

mine is similar but if have it as my friend unit i'll usually stick a ribbon on him

will be doing the same to ramza whenever he gets enhancements because i hate it when units get incapacitated, even if they both have innate 50% resist

guess it'll be more important for ramza since it'll stop his singing

It's cool, but thanks. Now that she's blind proof I can just nuke the demons then shoot the boss in two turns instead of one. I'm trying to save most of my remaining slots for newer players if possible to help them through content like people and their lightnings helped me through stuff when I first started.

Agrais in general is fairly useful because she can full break. I was just complaining earlier because everyone left Excaliburs on their units so the Ultima Demons resist their damage.

Just checked, I'm at 300/650 for Adeventurer III. Currently at 65 relics so far this week (just failed my first expedition since the rollover, so I'm doing much better than normal).

I'd be surprised if we don't get some sort of relic bonus events eventually. Whether it's a bonus success boost, more relics per completion, or even just an increased chance at great/amazing success.

Level those.
Xon for farming materials, and some bad code exploits.
Marie for her insane green magic options.
WoL for tanking, he's a good one. Early game, tank not needed, but once you hit any tough events or trials you'll want one.

Or I could raise an Ilias.
