Tomorrow, our nation will sit on the throne of the world. This is not a figment of the imagination, but a fact. Tomorrow we will lead the world, Allah willing.



Threw my normal 10 tickets at bonus units, and got these fools.




Ok, that makes up for Lightning, I forgive you game.

I recall people saying that her frames were bugged and she couldn't even perfect chain with herself. Curious if this is still the case.

My luck has returned to normal it seems. 11 freebie and 20 tickets nets me 3 Steiners and a boatload of garbage. Can’t really complain considering the amount of rainbows I’ve gotten over the past 3 months, but I always get my hopes up around MK events even if I’m not very excited for the units.

Honestly probably wanted 3 steiners more than either rainbow. But I think my roster is capable of beating everything up to 7* as is and when 7* gets here I’m going to be swimming in options. At this point I really need them to release the cactuar-smashing QoL update more than anything.

I've swapped my Noctis for a T.Terra who can solo every event right now.



Her rotation is:
1) Magical Activation
2) dual 0mp Chaos Wave
3) dual 35mp Chaos Wave Awakened
4) repeat until victory.

What resistances does she need for LGD? I can probably make one too.

I've seen mobs use lightning and ice, and Beatrix uses lightning magic and a paralysis attack. I assume the mobs also use fire for lore reasons, but I haven't seen it yet.
If you're skipping the mobs you only need 100% lightning resistance. However, the LGD mobs drop 7-8 currency per round this time, instead of just 1.

Can an Eiko or Beatrix solo LGD? I have my Eiko built for MAG but haven't given her a run at it yet. Thinking maybe with a Steiner using a Chaos Grenade, but what's the best free MAG buff I can have Steiner use on her from gear/Esper? Faith?

Time to dump some tickets for bonus units:

1st 10 + 1 ticket: TTerra #2, Prishe #2

2nd: nothing useful

Daily: meh

Free: meh

4* ticket: Vanille. Meh.

15 tickets: Fryevia! (#1, Gold -> Rainbow is always fun), 5 Black Waltz, Balthier, Steiner

Jesus gently caress, I don't care if I didn't get an on-banner rainbow, 4 5* in one morning is something I'll never complain about.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
Freebie and daily pull was meh.

10+ got me:



Cor and Zyrus have cool TMs, too. maybe my luck with 10+1 is turning around? Maybe?

I usually try for three bonus units in these kinds of events. I started with a 4* ticket and got Steiner. Burned through a chunk of tickets, #1 and #2 weren’t bonus units. #3 went blue->gold->rainbow.



However, I had to wait until my 10th ticket to pull a third dang bonus unit, which was Black Waltz. I even had multiple golds that didn’t give me a second Steiner! What gives!

Remember in LGD enemies besides the boss and bonus mobs only drop one King Mog currency and you can escape from them too. If you're soloing with a 100% evade and lightning resistance character just flee from the other mobs and just kill any bonus mobs and the boss.

10+1 got me a Black Waltz, a 4* and 3 3*s got me two Steiners so I think I'm good for this KM event.

All my goon buddies are quite active (except CryHavoc but I'm not removing my sweet prince) so I only have 3 spots! Please kick me off your list once you're done with the event to allow others to add me. My ID is 209,464,963

Still full, but I changed to a 100% evade Noctis that can solo the raid and Aranea. For the LGD event, bring someone with Escape so you can skip all the normal fights.

Just warp strike -> point-blank warp-strike until stuff is dead. Use Point Warp if you need more MP, or if you get jabbed by thunder attacks by Beatrix, but Noctis should survive even if she uses 4 thunder attacks in a row.

Edit: Also was told in Discord you could buy friend slots so now I have plenty of room :downs:, feel free to add me and keep me around!

I'm in the 'not sure how to feel about this' camp today. I got VoF#2 off the free 10+1, and Fryevia#2 off tickets for bonus units but, well, neither one of them seem to be useful for anything now except another needle for a letters and arms mage. Do their 7 star forms not suck?

Fryevia is a global exclusive so we don't know what her 7* will be yet, but she's probably going to get her enhancements soon and she'll probably be extremely good again. VoF's 7* is apparently pretty lovely unfortunately.

Decided to use some 4* tickets to go for Steiner and shiny sword TMRs. Used 3, got a Steiner on pull 2. Pull 3.... Turns into a rainbow!

Fryevia #3

Keeping par with my "get a chainer and then get 2 more copies"

Now have 3x Fryevia, 3x TGCids, 3x Darklord of the Butts

Decided to throw a few more normal tickets at the banner to get some units

First ticket pull

Beatrix - One Eyed Johnson

Guess those two rainbows make up for the last two free 10+1 tickets getting me nada

Sent an invite, I put up a T.Terra with 100% dodge, 100% lightning resistance, and paralysis immunity which afaik carries everything (fleeing from the trash mobs in LGD at least).

T.Terra is good to invest in too. The big thing is her Magical Awakening and Chaos Wave awakening, normally MA->CW is just a single 10-hitter, or w/o MA it's just a 5 hitter. MA+2 lets you dual cast CW for 5 turns using Maduin's Successor (but its MAG&SPR buff only last three). CW+2 improves the damage and makes the 10-hit version available after using it via Chaos Wave Awakened which can also be dual casted using Madiun's Successor. It'll take a while to build up the materials and gil to awaken them but she'll become great once you do. Inherited Power +2 also gives her some needed HP, more MAG, and a bit of resistance which is good to get too.

T.Terra is your best investment and probably the unit you should spend your first UoC ticket on to get to 7* if you dont pull another one. She's unbeatable in turn 1 alpha damage at 7*. She and a buddy can 1 turn a bunch of poo poo later on with proper set up. She went from ugly duckling on a damage type that was looked down on to pretty good with enhancements to a monster in 7*.

As far as caster damage goes I already have 2 Rems, 2 VoL, 2 Fryevias, and the usual suspects for 4* units. Not sure if I'll use Barb for much other than expeditions.

fyi your T. Terra can definitely solo the actual Battle with Aranea boss event thing. It takes loving forever, but all of my units died and she just kept on trucking. This is almost certainly a huge waste of time (she caps out at about 4-5% damage per round, and the boss spends a ton of time whiffing 10 attacks each round), but I thought it was pretty funny v:shobon:v
