So I only had time for beginner and advanced- does the drop rate pick up for the crafting material or do they really expect you to farm 30k at 100 per run?

Nothing useful on daily, free pulls, and around 15 tickets, so gently caress it, 10+1 it off irritation... two umbrella women and Prishe. Uh, ok? I'd she useful for anything besides the TMR?

The quest changes daily, or at least its clear rewards do, so presumely somewhere down the line the drop rate increases.

Also elt has an enemy spawn that drops like 100+ by itself

Heads up (besides rear end in a top hat dragons): 350 lapis bundle in the shop gives a ticket, 20x chocolate, 40 energy, and 50k gil. Just don't collect it until you're ready because it isn't energy pots! :ughh:

Doggo is good magic tank and also good boy. Archer is apparently best TDH FD finisher in the game and is estimated to stay that way until 7*.

He is the highest DPT unit currently with the fixed dice full TDH build, dethroning Onion Bro through combination of much better passives and insanely better average damage modifier.

Ang gets almost 80,000 damage on normal attacks (1x) vs. 100 DEF. His rotation with 45% DEF/SPR break, self-fire imbue, and 74% fire imperil has an average 7.0x damage mod per turn. If you can manage to get his LB every 2 turns (easily done by pairing with Yan or using Rikku's Pouch) and can provide the break from somewhere else, his per-turn damage mod skyrockets to 9.5x. The best Finishers currently struggle to break over 60,000 damage on normal attacks and just barely get in the 7.0-8.0x mod per turn ranges, and in comes Ang who is just straight-up way better in both of those ranges.

It's really weird because he's a simultaneous DEF-breaker + imperiler Finisher, like Olive, but is the polar opposite in terms of gear requirements to get to his really bonkers damage numbers.

Dog is basically Basch without breaks but with self-reraise/cure instead + backup healer + mana battery rolled into one unit. It's kind of gross how good he is.

Ang is a monster for reasons above. Even without the whalebait Buster Style + 2x Marshall Gloves kit, he still soars above other finishers in terms of damage and generally DPS support utility if you have a fire-focused team.

Yan is an alternate and somewhat better version of Rikku.

Mrs. Rainbowbeard (and later, Wikipedia, because it seems so weird) informs me that purebred chows have blue tongues.

Also, I found this out because I drew a good boy this morning and talked about it and this was the avenue I was going to use to brag but

Gonna have to shuffle some of my defensive equipment around now that Mystea is probably out of a job.

Not right now, but its mostly because I cant fit them into the party. But given how strong they are NOW, then having a main chainer/chainer friend and finisher is far stronger than chainer/chainer/chainer friend.

Specially for physical chainers. If you can itemize toward lightning damage then Olive is a insanely powerful addition to a Landu/VoD team.

Acelerion posted:

I mostly don't. I find that the chainers usually do well enough on their own and I've almost always got a good defensive matrix going so I can hold out a couple of turns before the chainers finish the job.

Finishers make oneshotting bosses muuuuch easier, though.

I must be at 60+ pulls now between the tickets and a pair of 5k pulls on this banner, plus the occasional daily and free summon pull, since my last rainbow. Elfreeda was the last one on her banner.

Unless the game is just getting all of these lovely pulls out of the way before CG Fina.
