30k lapis, 40 tickets for 5 rainbows. Rem, Duke, Ramza, and those two. I'm set till 7*, and still have enough for some eventual stepups so I guess I should start stockpiling again. The dog made me weak (plus a magic tank was the 1 thing I was missing)

How the gently caress do people get more than one rainbow on a 10+1, let alone ONE?

FFBE is stale as gently caress.

I literally have nothing to do in this game but farm for crysts to enhance heroes that are going to be worthless once 7* comes out, meanwhile my singleton bikini waifus are staring down my magic dogs in a death stare and I give no fucks about any of it

This is what I’m feeling. It’s a new game so I can give it some slack on having lots of and exciting content, but I also just really don’t like the combat system. Both together just kills any desire to play the game for me. I like the ideas and it’s more generous than other games, so hopefully it does well enough to reinforce that the games we’ve had are too stingy.

10+1 ticket gave me Prishe #2. Is 7* Prishe as underwhelming as she looks?

I guess turn 5 I can do a 7 Hit 1000% & Ignore 50% DEF attack with a fellow 7* Prishe which would be a little ridiculous.

You get... four abilities max? It could be better.

It's a nice secondary game, it's pretty and well-made.

It's also new. So things can change. Hopefully it will put pressure on this one.

2 per character. It's an interesting design decision, since unlike FFRK, new weapons/armor don't unlock new abilities. Instead they let you equip more passives, and make those moves better. In a way, it's nice because if I *need* a particular ability for a fight (like Esuna), I have it. The character just might be mediocre and require more babysitting. I like the game so far, since I can use whomever and the auto-battle lets me grind out crystals (secondary levels that unlock passive bonuses) for my characters. Yeah, it's basic right now but it's brand new. I am interested in seeing how it holds up long term.

They just added new 70cp weapons in the Japanese version that add an additional ability.

Two abilities is twice as many as 95% of FFBE content requires! *skillfully mashes Divine Ruination*

Oh, they already have over there in the OO thread. Vaan, Squall, Y'shtola, Yuna, Cloud, Warrior of Light, Terra are all futureproofed.

Still, 4 abilities max, including the basic BRV and HP attacks.

Also still, not a terrible backup game. I've got WoL, Tifa and Squall on the way to being maxed out.

I would contact support. The official Twitter account posted that there were server stability issues, so they might be able to restore the items for you.

Well, since he apparently outclasses fully-BiS TDH FD finishers by miles even without ANY piece of TDH gear on him, just using his bow for the killers or Fixed Dice for everything else, you will probably find a use for him at some point.

He won't be outclassed as a finisher until 7*s come out. No other unit will even come close to him.

Edit: I mean sure he takes a slot away from a possible additional support unit. But in exchange he can probably just one-shot some trial bosses' phases which would necessitate that initial support unit anyways.

Sometimes it does feel like the game is trying to make up for lovely pulls.

And it's more fun to anthropomorphize and attribute emotion to a random number generator than accept the cold hard fact that success is not nor has it ever been based on merit or talent, but the unpredictable tides of chaos of an apathetic universe. :sun:

I'm not seeing a relevant walkthrough for Aigaion. Any thoughts on team comp for robot trial? Would I be able to kill him the "faster" way?

DPS options:
Orlandeau + DV
e.Aileen x2
Fryveia and I guess a Friend?
Luneth, FV, BS Sakura, VoL x2, e. Olive

Support options:
e. Wilhelm (around 14000 hp, I think)
Ayaka or Tillith
Roy or Soleil
Rikku x2 I guess
e.Delita



I have no magic dudes at all. I do have a Pod, if that helps.

Aigaion has 100% resistance to dark and light so I wouldn't recommend an Orlandu/DV team. x2 Aileen should be good for her innate machine killer and Aigaion doesn't have any earth resistance. Fry x2 was popular too, Aigaion is vulnerable to Spirit Breaks and only his arms have 50% ice resistance so ideally you'd go for a body first approach. An enhanced and sufficiently swole Wilhelms can eat the Left Fist's Punch o' Death w/ Provoke and even if not Ayaka can just dual cast Reraise on Wilhelm and Curaja all the damage away.

I'd spitball 2x Aileen, Wilhelm, Ayaka could do it. Bring Roy for buffs, and a finisher maybe? Make sure you get a full summon gauge off the body since the arms don't drop crystals and summon Ramuh when only the Left Arm is left, it'll snort somebody and kill itself when it takes lightning damage which should meet two of the challenges.

e: This is the faster way, Wilhelm and Ayaka should be able to tank and heal the poo poo Aigaion throws at you while 2x Aileens dismantle him.

If you can field 2 enhanced Eileens, I think that’s your path.

I used Fryevia and a friend when I did it and it was super easy because they have the "survive fatal damage" thing which helped in case of bad turns.

Two Aileens would probably be fine too. You can definitely do the body first route with either option, though.

Aileen friend aileen, Ayaka, Wilhelm, Roy and Rikku is the safer bet if you really can't count turns and get nuked. If you can count then a finisher or third Aileen would be better
