I just got a second rainbow on the FF9 banner.

I now have two Prishes, both of which I pulled off of the FF9 banner.

e: Man I really love how "kill X with magic" challenges are a complete shitshow now. Do a chain and throw in 4 spells, most of which hit in during the chain with the target dead (and all hit during the chain)? No credit gently caress you.

Dual cast ultima or alterna. Nothing chains longer than the cast animation of those two spells

I want to make sure I am correctly wraping my head around chains. My plan is to trick TTerra the gently caress out and level up Cor as a chaining buddy. I also have another Cor and a zillion TTerra buddies. Is 2 Cors and 2 TTerras crazy chain town or is the 2nd Cor overkill? I'm running WoL and Yan as well.

Edit: As a weapon for Cor is there a Katana that is easy to obtain and better then Raikiri(silver chest)?

Also, is 6.5million gil a good stockpile until the next time its turtles all the way down? I have 8k lapis and im half way through Pharm to give you an idea of my available resources.

Purple Lightning from the Lasswell Training the Soul mission in the Vortex should be easy enough to get, the next step up is Genji Blade from the Gilgamesh trial. People can set up a friend unit to solo it if you don't feel like your team is up to it; just takes a while iirc.

I'm sure there's a way to math it up but at a certain point buffers/imperils/breaks become better than just throwing another chainer in, especially if you can Spark Chain.

edit: Trance Terra's good enhancements (everything but ultima) cost like 3.5mil if you haven't done that already.

everytime someone says a seasonal anime is GOAT

Just watch the best anime ever
6.5 million gil is a good stockpile unless you're enhancing units. You can easily blow 4 mil on one unit when enhancing.

For everything else it'll last you a while.

As far as Katanas go, the Gilgamesh trial has a good one. Even if your team is not good enough for it, a goon should be able to put up a Gilgamesh immune Noctis or something and steamroll the fight for you.

There are other good ones that were rewards from past events that were easy to get, but if you missed them then you can't go back for them unfortunately.

Ah yea this one's not bad. If you're a newer player it might be rougher because god knows who wants to blow cactuses on story units early on, but it's an option to keep in mind.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll have to see if I can drum up someone to solo Gilgamesh.

Can anyone’s companion solo Escape? I need to pair with my Helena to get the ‘no ko’s’ quest done.

Edit: I have 4 Cors, 1 at 100% 1 at 70%. Should I just feed the other 2 to the 70% or are they worth hanging on to?

Done. Behold the sword-and-board Noctis! 100% earth, 100% lightning, 100% evade. Send me an invite if you don't have me: 209,464,963

Instructions: Escape from every normal battle, and Hide from the boss to avoid failing the KO mission. Have Noctis use Warp Strike -> Point-Blank Warp Strike, or Armiger -> Point-Blank Warp Strike. If you run low on MP just use Point Warp -> Point-Blank Warp Strike. If the boss uses "it became compact" keep wailing on it with impunity. He will heal once at each specific thresholds, but otherwise you should be able to DPS the thing down.

Let me know when you're done so I can put my Levi 2* Mystea back up!

Okay, done. I've been carried through a lot by my goonfriends, I'm always happy to return the favor. Use my Fohlen. Just set it to auto (with limit breaks enabled) and you should get all the missions. You may miss the trust Moogle one (finish with a limit break) but he's more likely to get that one than not.

Your Noct getting hit with Confuse a few times made it take some time. But I did it.

No Light Resistance +20% for me, because I never bothered to see if I had any Units who learn both, and therefore never leveled up Helena or Jake. Ah well.

So for me that means Im on hold until the FF IV banner with the new kain/rydia it looks like, and then sephiroth after that. The step up banners started with sephiroth right? So Ill just hoard lapis until then and blow tickets on FF IV.

Minor maintenance with iOS users getting compensation after, let's hope for a 10+1 ticket!


edit: 30 NRG pots, 1500 lapis, 5 summon tickets, 10k raid coins, 3k FF9 MK tickets, 3000 yellow discs and 20 advance tokens. I have no idea how they got those numbers, that seems hella random but ok.

They're also moving the 10+1 ticket up so if you missed a full day you'll get it on the 27th now, and 28th will be lapis. The 10x Star Quartz will be sent to everyone as compensation. Along with 500 lapis i guess...

and another 100 more for today's maintenance.

I keep hoping they fix it but it looks like they’ve just killed mid-battle device swapping altogether. I only ever used it to set up TM farming since remoting into my pc via my phone was a bit cumbersome to actually navigate the menus in the emulator. Much easier to just start the mission in my phone, log in to the computer and hit play on the macro. It auto-resumed and everything :smith:

She's not very good sadly. Her Orlandeau-esque chain ability breaks on DW frames so you can't chain two copies of herself together, and while apparently this gets fixed later her 7* form isn't anything to write home about. She has no innate DW and her ATK bonus restricts her to Swords and Greatswords. She seemingly wants to also be a hybrid as she gets some MAG bonuses but only has one offensive move that uses MAG as Holy now scales off SPR. She has a handful of support spells but no innate DC, high SPR, or anything else that might make her useful as support. Sadly even at 7* and with enhancements she's not top tier.

She's the hottest of the hot hybrid garbage.

I wish she was good though.

That iOS compensation is fairly underwhelming. I know I lost 5% worth of Moogle on the last raid reward rankings, went from solidly 1-3k to the 3k-30k tier in weekly Arena, and though I can probably get back to the 1-3k Arena monthly ranking, there's a chance I couldn't which would be another 10% Moogle lost. There's also the continuous annoyance of attaching energy bottles to the rewards so now I have to drain 30 bottles worth just to collect everything. Woe is me.

From what I read Tilith is that healer and I don't have her :(
