Exvius seems worse just because half the cast seem to be original characters - when the big appeal of this kind of game is the nostalgia of getting to use your favorite FF heroes.

That is Exvius' biggest flaw: a legion of OC's that make 95% of the FF cast pointless or irrelevant. Plus some of the ones that are relevant are terrible choices to begin with. You remember RASSLER? Well he's better than 95% of FF characters in game because. Wana use some of your favorite FF4, 5, or 6 characters? Too bad they all suck/are irrelevant aside DK Cecil and Trance Terra, both 5* bases. Here's this fucker called Roy and you'll like it, if not TS. FFT on the other hand they're always treated with respect. Its always FFT, Its Squeenix's way of compensating I guess.

I guess it's pretty telling of FF1 torment's difficulty when that 0 synergy was easier than IX 200 where I had some decent stuff. Dude hurt and I had no breakman so had to RW wall and use Zidane BSB2 to buff the party. Zidane bsb2 Steiner bsb Kuja bsb Garnet no SB healer Beatrix no SB healer Beatrix with Curada. The poo poo you see in these CMs...

Washout posted:I play both and they both suck. I wish I could more easily find the character I want in FFRK and I want to get my orbs faster and more easily like I do in FEH, rates in both are poo poo and far too money dependant but they are both still the best games for mobile imo. I mean they're both gachas so the business plan is to get you addicted then stick it to you, but FEH is on a whole 'nother level from FFRK. In FFRK if a banner for a character you like comes up you'll probably get something for them, if not their spotlight chase relic, in 1-3 pulls. It's also trivial to get any character in the game if you simply must have Wol on your team. In FEH if a banner for a character you like comes up it's more or less meaningless unless you've been saving funbux for 6 months.

Fister Roboto posted:I wonder how far you could get in this game without ever doing a relic draw. I was gonna say there are people that do Core-Only (so no SB) teams, but I think they rely very heavily on equipment synergy. You can rely very heavily on orb farming, good abilities and legend diving Dual-Casters I guess? You could probably make a decent Ninja team

Update also features new Nightmare dungeons which are multi-tiered like Magicite is. Also this gem: "Also, Dr Mog has obtained a new power, the "Great Wall Grimoire", which will automatically activate at the start of battle, granting the party increased defensive stats! Additionally, the effect lasts until the end of the battle as well!" wow ok, they really regret wall

Pretty sure they regret it less than Cloud USB. At least Wall has other uses like bumping up Guardbringer/Earthbringer/Aegis Strike.

Attestant posted:Update also features new Nightmare dungeons which are multi-tiered like Magicite is. Also this gem: Yeah, seems like that's the point where you should just say, "no Wall" and lower the stats accordingly. Though I suppose they technically just said the duration is until the End of Battle so it's possible Ultimate Dispels might get rid of it, making you play around them or have to bring your own Wall (which everyone has at least on Tyro with the Library of Guidance update).

The last 6 months in Fire Emblem were 1716 orbs. https://feheroes.gamepedia.com/Orb_Distribution#2017 FFRK mythril, for anyone wanting to compare: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/7ni7kc/2017_mythril_totals/ Pulling a unit from the current banner in FEH averages between 107 and 131 orbs, depending on the color. https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/7n4lsw/new_years_banner_orb_cost_analysis/ Sure, the 90th percentile for the red unit is closer to 300, but that's not 1700.

Man, it seems like the days when I'm in the dailies specifically chasing 4* orbs to round out some of those skills are when the game won't stop throwing Magic Pots at me. I got 3 Black Crystals already this morning when all I'm trying to do is satisfy some completionist urges with some 4* orbs. Yet on the days when I need 5* and 6* orbs, I can't buy a Magic Pot to save my life. Maybe I'll just focus on honing as many 4* skills as I can, and then accidentally get more Crystals than I'll ever need.

Almost have shelke dived for entrust battery shenanigans. I just need like 20 bravery motes. She'll be a good alternative to Tyro with LMR for content where I don't need native wall or Ramza when I'm taking Zack and Cloud with a RW Rikku USB. I really need some more spirit and wisdom motes too because my next dives are probably Vivi and Rydia for dualcast summons or that trance. Oh and I finally got r3 curada and Omega drive! 8 and 6 casts rocks and makes Vanille and Iris with LMR/LD powerhouse healers. Dualcast white is really strong.

For bookkeeping: First up is an VII event (12 - 22 January) featuring Ultimecia's debut! They only specifically mention her Legend Sphere, so Quistis, Kiros, and Ward may still be left in the cold for now. From official site words earlier, Seifer should be getting his USB2.  Next, from (19 - 29 January) it's a Tactics event where Ramza finally gets a wardrobe record (sorry, Delita, you gotta wait)! As above, Ramza should be getting his USB2, too. Final Fantasy IX is next (26 January - 5 February) It's a Zidane/Amarant focused event, so probably a USB for a neglected Monk? We'll see. Final Fantasy V closes the month's set on (31 January - 10 February) It'll be a Bartz focused event.   New record dungeon stages in I and V. This month's Endless Battle is against Demon Wall (XII). This month's Crystal Tower is Holy Dragon (VI), Mindflayer (XV), Sapphire Weapon (VII) & strengthened Mateus & Ice Azers (XII) for the "boss." And this little gem: Hall of Rites QoL - In late January, you can now have the option to redeem all Hero Soul & MC Lodes in one go MEANWHILE The New Torment Dungeons posted:- Each Torment Dungeon has 3 stages 6* Spellblade, Blast Strike: 4 single-target Fire/Earth physical attacks 6* Spellblade, Thunderspell Strike: 4 single-target Lightning/Water physical attacks 6* Spellblade, Ultimate Blaze Strike: 5 single-target Fire physical attacks 6* Black Magic, Vortex: 4 single-target Ice/Water/Lightning magic attacks 6* Black Magic, Chain Firaja: 5 single-target Fire magic attacks 6* Black Magic, Chain Thundaja: 5 single-target Lightning magic attacks (Edits with some needed clarifications on Torments) Hogama fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Jan 9, 2018 |

I think if it says Chance to Trigger then it won't use a charge but Chance to Cast Twice will. The difference being the % Chance to fire.

fridge corn posted:Do dualcast LMs use an extra ability charge when dualcast procs? Vanille's LD and Iris' LMR do not use an extra charge. Stuff like Shantotto's USB does use an extra charge on witch abilities. It's kinda a shame that I dived her because I ended up getting Ashe's USB and dived her because her dualcast lightning also does not use an extra charge so she shits out lightning damage with the chase proc. I could use them together but I also have a dived Lightning with her USB BSB2 and OSB so the only thing I would need Shantotto for is casting her chain if I ever pull it.

Unless you have Vivi's USB, it's advisable to wait and at the very least see how the new abilities play out. I just got all the crystal I needed last week and thankfully haven't done it yet myself. Anyway, I think I've actually used it 6 times maybe once ever.

Stitch in Time is really good now, it's instant cast and provides a nearly unique buff to ATK and MAG. Lifebane is also very good, but somewhat overshadowed by Omega Drive. The rest aren't really worth bothering with imo, especially with new 6* abilities in the pipe.

Dailies aside, I believe they game has been giving out a bunch of crystals in the last 6 months in JP, all of which we'll probably get. Their mythril pots got accompanied with a bunch of resource pots, 4* magicite, crystal towers, etc. As for job motes, I think Snowspell and Allegro are probably the most relevant for new content but none of them are essential. I would just sit on them for now until you either need them or they make it clear the currently bad poo poo won't be buffed at all and it's safe to shatter. Allegro's probably the only one we've gotten so many extra copies that you can safely make extras and shatter.

I haven't been playing long and don't have a ton of hones so If I use Shantotto she spends most of the fight casting 4* witch abilities whereas Ashe can doublecast my r3 chain lighting and r2 Valigarmanda plus her BSB

I did it! All magicite battles sub-30! I didn't think I had this one, until Squall started busting out 140,000 damage per turn. Steely Blade with TG Mode is INSANE. I could definitely get this one even lower, because I whiffed a few Lowen Roars.

I'm really glad we get 6 months notice, I'll need to reevaluate my planned pulls after checking my ream synergy. I'm really glad they are releasing 5* hastega so I don't have to pull for a hastega in every realm. Synergy chain looks hilarious.

Check who wants SiT before honing it though. Even though it's an ATK buff phys ninjas probably won't use it because the blink combo takes both slots. I like it on Fujin when she's using BLK but not for much else
