so like i said, i've been thinking a lot about trying out the aigaion trial lately. i've got something like eight snow so i can rush two champion belts and the trial gives the fist and fist mastery which wont put me far off a bis aileen. i would like to get world destroyer but honestly that can wait, so i was thinking of this team. anyone feel like giving me their thoughts on it? refia/earth veritas/rikku/meliadoul/ling/friend a2 my initial thoughts are that replacing meliadoul with a maxwell and a2 with a freyvia might be faster, but that also assumes conditionally that the freyvia has machine killer, which i guess i could ask one of you guys to pop machine killer on to her for me when i try the trial. aigaion can be spirit broken so i figure it might be a little faster, although a2 or 2b have their innate machine killer and then i dont have to bother anybody. i actually think i might even try replacing rikku with a 9s but i am not entirely sure how much either of these potential parties will require rikku LB to survive later phases. i have both rikkus pouch and pod 153 so either my tank or maxwell can do a lot of extra lifting during the fight with aoe healing to top stuff off as well as a little extra mitigation. 9s seems preferable to rikku if i dont need her lb since his damage reduction is on demand with no setup, but if EV has free turns in the fight he can totally cover damage reduction too. he'll miss out on the free healing that WoL presumably has during the fight, but he will also generate an absolute shitload of crystals with his counters which i think will be more helpful for rikku. being able to cast eccentrick with either EV or Maxwell along with EV countering should help keep her LB topped off. i was also thinking that if i bring a physical friend unit like a2 or 2b that i could actually skip ling since the spirit debuff will be pointless, and i could bring my aileen instead. her MP regen isn't as high as lings but it still might be adequate? and she can also do a little bit of spot healing and has built in machine killer. so basically any feedback would definitely help, the teams i am considering then would be refia/ev/rikku or 9s/meliadoul/aileen or ling/aileen or a2 or 2b refia/ev/rikku or 9s/maxwell/ling/freyvia i assume a 9s with pod 153 can cover the healing gap that would be missing from using al bhed potion on rikku, and would have one or two more free turns since he doesnt need to use synthesis (or hell, he doesnt even need to cast the damage reduction if EV can) but again, i dont know how big of a problem it will be potentially forgoing rikku lb. and again, i am not sure if i NEED to be using wol instead for his self healing that i assume the attacks proc. armor eraser doesnt matter since i can bring ling and that still only matters if i use a freyvia, and EV should build way more crystals for rikku lb and he can also damage reduce the party. i don't know, i really feel like a refia/ev/rikku/meliadoul/aileen/friend aileen or 2b or a2 team can totally do this. help goons?? also am i forgetting anything crucial

Sorry for all the posts but I made a much cleaner guide to infinite XP farming with Noctis: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/6vgm70/infinite_xp_farm_with_noctis_companions/ edit: Got the macro up and running on MEmu. hamsystem, your Noctis is dominating.

Just go with pure attack. Anyways, I setup my Reberta to be able to do this, too.  First turn, Fire Breath with her. Then target the Great Malboro and use Recovery Jump. Let the rest of the party die to speed things along. Then for keep retargeting the GM and repeating Recovery Jump. Don't just hit repeat, if you don't kill the GM each turn, it may kill you.

I put Mechanical Heart on my Noctis and a bit more HP/Evade. I'm doing a test run now and it's a lot smoother. edit: Ok, so he died that run and what I observed was that Malboro would live with 1% HP and that would gently caress up the run. I got rid of all killers and Evade since that's useless and just piled on the ATK and HP (removed the counter heal too). He should have no problem 1-shotting Big Malboro and take less than 2k damage per round, what his Point Warp will recover. I'm on turn 69 of that build run right now. So far so good. If you accidentally kill an add with Point Warp, use a Flask and resume the Point Warp rotation. edit 2: Turn 139. edit 3: Turn 300. dangerous.hotdog fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Aug 23, 2017 |

for what it's worth, my Noctis is set up as well. 865 ATK. I will note that you could probably make it safer by losing the Bracer and adding Dragoon Gauntlet instead, 100% jump damage would be more than offsetting the ATK loss. but this seems to work, so shrug?

Mostly minor elective surgery for adenoids and tonsils. The way my wife and I are in the room you would think it was stage 20 cancer. Kid snores as bad as I do, so we figured it would be best for his quality of life in the long run. Still not cheap but not crushing medical bill debt. Plus he is on my wife's insurance and not my high as gently caress deductible. He doesn't care what shows up he thinks everything is cool, so I didn't bitch when 21O showed up. But for real I'm done pulling on this banner now.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:For as many Mechanical Hearts as you want/need. 2 copies of the TM is probably enough. That said HP and SPR is a pretty strong combo that almost anyone can take advantage of, so I'm going to keep a pair of 210 around in case I decide to shoot for 4. Why 4 and not 5? Well my tank is probably going to be using Hp 30%s and SPR 40%s so he doesn't really need and the heal counter is less good on someone that I either need to full heal or full raise every turn.

Pod-153 on Marie was really helpful in the Alg trial. Rikku was 100% necessary for the way I beat it anyway. Her pouch was not, still not done, but I'd have appreciated it - there was one nail biter of a turn where I ALMOST had her LB up, but didn't, and just had to end the turn hoping the Right Hand wasn't about to smack my party to death (after the body died, no more LB crysts, but if i'd had the pouch it'd have been full from killing the body). Tillith was helpful but not 100% necessary, I was relying on items for MP recovery in the end and using her for full heals from about the first World Destroyer on - but even so, the combination of things she brought to the table was great - full party heal, raise the decoy, mana battery when damage was coming in slower, and every once in a while 40% all stats buff. Earlier in the fight, Marie's Love You All was half my healing (unbuffed was managing about 2600/turn) and Prism Heal was the other half, as the robot wasn't yet doing more damage than that was taking care of by and large. That helped save MP recovery items 'til later in the fight when they were necessary. Marie by FAR had the most free turns so I gave her Odin for Fingersnap and Pod-153 for damage reduction. As far as I can tell her Love You All and the Pod regen don't stack, so there was no need for that. The phys damage reduction was BOSS AS HELL for turns where they do a lot of direct attacks. I removed +Atk and put on +HP 'til my A2 was over 6.5K, lowest HP in the trial was Olive at 5K, Rikku was at 7.6K and Tillith had 6K. Marie was only 5.5k. I had no tank for it but it worked out. I put Golem on my Olive decoy, and every time she lived into a turn (thank you Rikku!) she'd provoke to soak some hits before they started wailing on the rest of the party. I didn't get World Destroyer, because I used Rikku's Dispel from an esper to make certain parts of the fight smoother. Marie was Fingersnapping via Odin, Rikku could Dispel. Tillith even got in it w/ Pretty Steel a few times when she had a free turn. It was not too common but sometimes Olive would soak so much from her Provoke'd corpse that the party didn't take much damage, and also had MP that turn from recent scroll or other recovery items. Getting the body and hand damage down is tremendous, left arm not so important as it doesn't do anything unpredictable Agreed fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Aug 23, 2017 |

Did Aigaion 'body first' in about 35 minutes last night with double A2s. Didn't get the no magic because of some spot healing but ehh. Tilith, Rikku, WoL, Rem, A2, friend A2 (not using Excalibur). Rikku would usually use her Barrier, LB, or mass res as needed. Tilith had Refresh and Dark Fina's Swim Suit so she was able to use her party-wide HP/MP recovery for a net cost of 25 MP. Did some Full Heals every now and again for herself. WoL would Light is With Us to damage soak and do some dispelling or debuffing as needed. Rem would auto-res A2 every turn. Both A2s would just OHC every turn. I'm on an iPhone 6s so I wasn't getting a single combo, but the 2x 25s were enough damage. MP manage was the biggest issue as I don't have a traditional MP battery. But WoL or Rikku were sneak in an ether every now and then. Burn the right arm low, work on the body, Rikku LB for World Destroyer, kill body, then right arm ASAP, then left arm. Pretty clean fight all things considered. Much better than the last three hour expedition I tried last week. Now my A2 can finally play in the 1K ATK club!

Dual wield Olive w/ Pod-153 owns. I'm using Sparky and that lighting element hammer with 70-something attack power and +15% hp and her Atk is consistently higher with shittier materia than my Fohlen. She's doing more damage chaining AOE than he does. Most of her gear doesn't overlap with other phys attackers. Plus, True Shot still hits really hard, twice, which is cool, and her other abilities continue to be useful thanks to how radically overpowered she was at release  Attack that hangs w/ current units, chains great, and it's easy to get her Spr above 300 without 5* TMRs so the regen works really well from her Every time I point her toward the bench she finds a way off it Y'all if you don't have a 9S yet keep pulling if you can, this thing is a game changer Agreed fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Aug 23, 2017 |

Quick update on the infinte XP trick with Noctis: Seems like 850+ ATK is necessary with immunities and Diabolos. Weapon element doesn't matter and using the jump accessory lowers the threshold. Killers have 0 effect on jumps. I also tested with iOS Switch Control this morning and it works beautifully. Now I'm farming a fuckload of XP on my phone here at work automatically. Turn 200 at work so far using Switch Control. Updated info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/6vgm70/infinite_xp_farm_with_noctis_companions/ edit - Killed the Switch Control macro after 30 minutes because I was capping on XP
