hagie posted:I got Xon #3 today so that is nice. Yes, he only affects Normal drops (T1/2 crysts, not T3/4). And just like Locke/Pod, his buff doesn't do anything for T1/2 drops from Story Events, instead it affects T1/2 drops in the Chamber of Gems... where multiple Normal/Rare drop buffs don't stack, apparently. This game's loot "system" basically proves that they put in a very concerted and special amount of effort into making this game's mechanics as obtuse, contradictory, and down-right confusing as possible.

That Hide-granting accessory from the Story Event is the thing I'm most excited about right now. It will allow for some pretty stupid shenanigans. Case and point, Olive could use it to remove herself for 3 turns. Why? Because in 3 turns, Mortar Beacon activates and nukes the enemy party for 5x damage. This costs zero MP so you don't need an MP battery or anything. I'll try using this approach for farming this upcoming story event's 90 NRG P G T S route (I hope the boss isn't resistant to lightning). I'll bring Olive with the accessory, everything else BiS (buster form, marshall, DH, apron, prishe hat, the works) + 2 Xons with Coral Swords/Pods/DW + 1 Xon with Deprotect + 1 Xon with Imperil. For regular encounters Olive will just Hide and the Xons will use Lay Low (1-turn hide), repeat until Mortar hits. I'll do the same for mini-bosses and bosses to get a good initial hit in for free, but if they're still alive then I'll cast Deprotect/Imperil, then chain Pods and cap with Olive's True Shot or LB. There's probably better setups for this, like actually gearing Xons to not be terrible pieces of poo poo, but gently caress that noise! But if it turns out to work so well that Mortar Beacon kills everything including the boss by itself then I'll just get a macro and hit Repeat to farm the event.

Here's what I got in case anyone's interested. Good stuff, thank you! My current roadblocks are alcrysts abd heavicrysts, though. This new banner has LadyFohlen and LadyIlias, neat! I drew a Lasswell! ...In King's Knight. Was hoping for a Lid (who is a monk in that game) but he's still a pretty powerful character there. I got to Tolfidan in the pretty easy collaboration story mode, and he creamed my team... King's Knight is a Bullet Hell RPG and I could only survive a couple of direct hits with my team of 4* characters I haven't been able to promote (Awaken) yet. (I know how to, it requires grinding the daily elemental dungeon for drops that correspond to the character's innate element that I'm trying to promote.) The premium currency is handed out freely enough so that I've been able to get 2 10+1 character pulls, a 10+1 weapon pull, and complete the Lid/Lasswell step-up banner they have going on now with my in-game rewards so far. Meanwhile, the FFBE TMR Factory chugs away...

I'm warning people not to roll on poo poo banners which I think is pretty good advice. I'm ok with the game, I'm not actually that bitter about it. Remember, I'm the one that was actually defending 7* and calling you all idiots for over reacting and surprise surprise, I was right.

I want Beatrix but since I don't have Aileen there would be no chaining partner for her and she still wouldn't be as good as enhanced Orlandeau...but she's my 2nd favorite FF character after Cyan so I'll still roll for her I guess; Eiko isn't a terrible consolation prize.

I still need to budget how many tickets I'm throwing at Yuna and how many I realistically want to be saving for CG Fina. CG Fina's easily the better healer, but Yuna is Yuna and I will collect all FFX units.

PaybackJack posted:I'm still sticking with 7* Global is going to be a clusterfuck. I really dont think that 7* will be a cluster gently caress do to the fact that we are actually ahead of the curve when it comes to certain things like 5* tickets. It all depends if gumi goes full retard by not offering any more tickets or guaranteed pulls or greatly accelerates the release of 7* for no loving reason. And yeah the banner is absolute trash. KQ was bad, but you could argue about free TMRs because of the raid going on and at least kaliva's and basura's being ok. Nothing in this coming banner is good. Ugato posted:It’s still lovely. Also over reacting got stmrs brought down to only needing 4 copies, so It really, really isn't unless you feel that you HAVE TO HAVE AN ENTIRE PARTY OF 7*s OR ELSE MY TRASH SELF WONT CLEAR ANY CONTENT. 7*s are easily a net plus. They closed the gap of worthwhile characters, introduced some cool mechanics, aren't at all difficult to get if you've been playing for a while. And STMRs ended up being pretty big farts and not the apocalyptic money grab people were expecting. There is absolutely no rush to get any of them, being mostly bigger stat sticks.

2 months into 7*s in japan you could argue that only one of the trials needed a 7* and it could be your friend unit. 3 months into 7* was the actual first encounter that needed 7* dps but your support, tank and healer could be 6*. By then japan had like 3 UoC tickets and a guaranteed specific 5* pull. We have to rely on the "Gumi are a bunch of fuckers that will absolutely run us to the ground with 7* because of GREED" argument when in all reality we are actually better off than JP was in this point in time on the schedule.

Welp. There's nothing good on this banner, just don't bother with it. PG Lasswell's buffs are out and the wiki has them updated already: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/7po99c/gl_maintenance_info_servers_up/ The gist of it is that PG Lass The single biggest problem he has, as a Finisher unit, is that he lacks the ability to imbue himself with elemental damage. So he can't use his best rotation without an elemental 1-hander and his LB will just be lovely without that as well. Also, he can't use Fixed Dice at all even if he did have a way to imbue himself, and it's this combination of FD and self-Imbue that makes guys like Nyx and Tidus (especially his future enhanced version) really shine as TDH units. Don't get me wrong, he's still an ok unit and if you pull him as a new guy you will get a lot of mileage out of him since he's just a complete package of everything you need in a single damage-dealer unit. But as part of an established team of units where he needs to compete with less "jack-of-all-trades" and more "specialized" units for a spot, he will most likely just get benched. For the other units, from bottom to top, we have 3* Miyuki who everyone already has and is now a very mediocre hybrid/physical 6* chainer rather than complete garbage, 3* Otogiri who is a worse version of Ilias in every possible way, 4* Kaede who is another mediocre chainer with built-in mediocre buffs/breaks, 4* Ohga who's basically another failed attempt at a unit to surpass Demon Rain for x/y/z reasons, and finally Jiraiya who's basically the 5* base version of Miyuki (still just another garbage hybrid). And none of them, whatsoever, have TMRs you'd really want. Office Thug fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jan 11, 2018 |
