Since status abilities are out I tossed my WoL in with Razmataz and bladeblitz 1st before anything.

Really considering tossing some Dodge on him, just to make him more annoying.

With bladeblitz :v:

It does seem like a lot of arena teams have at least one WoL now, though, and those teams do include the popular arena annoyances like Rem/Amelia/Noctis/Setzer so there's a good chance I'm not fighting someone's raid team.

Actually, yeah, I just noticed that WoL can use every weapon. Give each of them The Worst status weapons you have and then just Bladeblitz repeat to victory. Goddamn, now I kind of wish I hadn't crunched my ten 21Os so I could TMR farm more mechanical hearts.

I love how many people on reddit and elsewhere thought FFBE only made a couple million dollars a year and how the ransom amount was more than Gumi could pay (they wouldn't pay any amount because lol if you trust hackers) when hitting the top 10 spot for even a single day means an app brought in several million dollars in those 24 hours.

On the upside, barring some massive shift in the market it's unlikely we'll run out of FFBE to play for a good long while.

The WoL slot is a revolving door of random units. Onion Knight occasionally, Ashe #2, Ace etc.

Welp I was about to ask about whether or not those "HP Threshold" passive buffs stack with applied buffs, but I just did some testing and nope!

What is even the point of those passives? The few that are actually good and not just 3-turn buffs are still gone forever the moment the unit dies or gets Dispelled. And I mean, once you get Enhanced Soleil or eventually at some point maybe never Enhanced Ramza all those "massive" 100%+ ATK threshold buffs become either on par with or completely overridden by just their party buffs.

Alright, for the Raid Items, I've crafted the following:

Galkan Dagger, Parade Gorget x2, Raven Beret x2, Parade Cuirass x2, Shark Gun, Slick Dart, Orc Piercer, Divine Shield, Golden Hairpin x2, Iridial Staff x2, and Tactician Magician's Coat x2 (I also wasn't paying attention, and crafted a Tactician Magician's Wand).

At this point, I should be good, and can just sell Raid Coins, right? I've got 2 Shantottos, both with a Golden Hairpin and a Parade Gorget for QuadNado Casting Fun, just as soon as I get the Golden Eggs & Sacred Crystals I need to Awaken my 2nd Shantotto.

Status procs on weapons, is it calculated once per attack or multiple times for multi-hit abilities?

Once per "attack", as far as I know, but a dual-wielding character does the attack two separate times.

That's why Bartz/Firion + A Golem Staff is pretty much the arena killer.

It doesn't attack with one weapon then the other? Or are you giving them two staves somehow?

And Onion Knight or any other dual-wielding staff user with an AoE attack would fill the same niche right?

For ATK calculating purposes it attacks with one weapon then the other but both attacks gain the element and status afflictions of both weapons combined. A single Golem Staff or Razzmatazz with any other weapon will give both attacks the petrify chance for example.

Or Lasswell with Razz because he has an AOE that hits twice, giving him 4 hits when he dual wields.

:shepspends:

Guessing the halloween even will be split in to two banners because if they'd put four 5* base units on a single banner that'd be some next level bullshit. Plus if they split the units across two banners it means one new and one old 4* base and 5* base per banner. With BC Lid as the 3* on both, maybe.

My understanding from the leaks is that the old Halloween banner characters except BC Lid aren't returning. It'll be two weeks of Sakura, Jake, Nichol, and Lid which is a better balanced banner at least.

Never underestimate Gumi’s ability to gently caress with things. Just like how the developers wanted Eve for the raid gacha and the executives put it on banner to gently caress with 9S. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see them put the old units back in to add more competition for your pulls.

Reddit says we'll be getting a second banner with the old set towards the end of the month, along with the blood moon trial and bahamut esper. I'm tentatively going to wait and see what the new dude's TMs are before trying to roll a demon rain. Plus they're all coming after the four fiends who might be unexpectedly awesome.
