So many things hitting all at once and that banner looks so nice. Shame that Nier wiped me out completely!

That Atk accessory looks amazing though.

Also I only got a single 5% trust moogle and not infinity moogles like others got.

I got a followup chest that gave the right amount but the hundred million moogles is still sitting in my mail taunting me.

"A bug caused something to happen for some people when it shouldn't have, therefore everyone should get it" isn't that easy, especially since it'd likely mean *every* gets another 10+1 ticket, so the people who got a second would now have a third and the people bitching now would still bitch about the difference.

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
So, seeing as how OK's big deal seems to be all the extra skills and stuff he gets from the onion equipment, holy crap would it suck for anyone who pulls him after the event and doesn't get his exclusives from this event.

Outside of TMs, are the other units on the banner really even worth a drat? I'm still tossing a few tickets here and there at the Veritas banner because I really want a damned Veritas of the Heavens so I can use his TM to make a BiS Elza, but after doing all of the my daily pulls and around 10 tickets I still haven't pulled a single banner unit. I hate when I use up all of my luck on the previous banner. :smith:

His most important attack is tied to his own TMR so that's not too bad.

His armor is probably not going to be used, because it's not heavy armor and people are going to be looking to put Dark Knight's Soul on him. We could really use a Sword Mastery but DKS is pretty close and you can follow that up with Earth Veritas TMR for 40% more. Then I'd guess people will give him the Fist and Fist Mastery + 2x Champion's belts. Last slot being an ATK+30% I guess, thought I'm thinking maybe Sozhe's TMR, trade 10% ATK for some MP regen basically.

You'll need something other than Aigaion's Fist if you want element chains though. Probably a GSword.

Yeah, I don't care about any of those units, either. I'll just stick to the Daily Halfs, where I'll continue to increase my collection of Celeses, Fangs, and Sazhs, with the occasional Bedile, Russel, Cyan, Shadow, and Rakshasa thrown into the mix.

At least Sazh has an O.K.-ish TMR.

I'd guess most people are going to run Excalibur with him to take advantage of Orlandeau friends. I'm not terribly worried as I'll be macroing spark chains so I'll only miss out on a bit of bonus damage.

If there's a super tough battle I'll ask around to see if someone else has Mercedes axe and can use that on OK and then use my Tidus to water imperil and then chain off the axes.

If you're mixing elements that will also trigger the healing as long as light is included in there - by that I mean if you have two characters - one with ice and light, the other fire and light, it will all heal veritas of light. They have weird code for checking resistances to mixed elements and it appears that the veritas absorbs are just a flag that says "make it healing instead" - or something like that. If you don't include the element at all in your attack it won't heal.

Introducing the JP step up banner for FF7:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/6wxho6/jp_ff7_event_pickup_step_up_91/

quote:

Step-Up (FF7 Banner)
Availability: Three Laps
Cost: 5,000 (10+1) / Step

Step 1: 10% Trust Moogle
Step 2: 5★ Rate x1.5
Step 3: Guaranteed 5★
Step 4: 5★ Rate x2 + Guaranteed シルト
Step 5: 5★ Rate x3 + Guaranteed Sephiroth OR Lila
Not entirely sure what the increased rates translates into.
According to /u/Rozaliin this affects on-banner Rainbow rates.

Standard: 3% Rainbow, 0.5% Sephiroth / 0.5% Lila | 2% Off-banner
Step 2 (1.5x): 3% Rainbow, 0.75% Sephiroth / 0.75% Lila | 1.5% Off-banner
Step 4 (2x): 3% Rainbow, 1% Sephiroth / 1% Lila | 1% Off-banner
Step 5 (3x): 3% Rainbow, 1.5% Sephiroth / 1.5% Lila | 0% Off-banner

Well 50/50 and whatever odds those 55 draws give you including a garunteed 5*

Either way if this ever came to global id never daily draw again. Less overall draws for a garunteed 5* every 15k? Sure.

I could be wrong, but this is probably only going to be a once in a while thing they do. Whales are gonna whale, this isn't targeted at them. This is designed to go after dolphins who only occasionally spend money when a popular unit like Cloud or Sephiroth comes around. No way this is permanent on every banner, they wanna keep it "rare" so that when they do put it out there you are more likely to impulse buy.

If thats the case this would be a huge step down from the banners with a guaranteed 5* after one draw. Seems more likely this will either be the norm or at least not as rare.
