So if I play on iPhone and macro on PC using an android emulator, is there any way to get the two to share progress?

Bob NewSCART posted:

I’ll probably be back with dumbass questions in a few minutes about how to set up macroing on my computer(hopefully not).

Can I get started macroing right away? I know it seems ridiculous but I’m the min max type of person and it appeals to me

gently caress yeah man, worked like a charm. I used my Cupid Luna for the -40% light res and two 5* Crofts, didn't even need dual wield. First two chain attempts got him to 16%. Nailed it on my 3rd reset. Going to do this one more time with a 5th body for the magic kill.

Thanks!

Thanks to the goons in the discord, for them steering me on the right path. I have a few questions still probably better suited for a forum:

1) Do droprates stack? In other words, two 6* Lara Crofts and a 6* Xon would be how much extra droprate boost? I'm also working on my 9S TMR as well, which I hear helps. Does it have to be equipped to 9S? So then, I have to bring him on my farm parties for that boosted droprate then, huh?

2) Do events come back? I've been playing pretty casually up until now, getting logins and doing some of the low level events here and there but never really putting much effort into this. I am a bit bummed I've missed so much. I've done some of the harder mode content but I haven't even unlocked Sakura in the main story.

3) How long does it take to complete the main story? What rewards does completing the story give? (aside from rookie quests, does it give anything useful?) So far from these Earth Keys I've gotten junk like Analyze or a Red Hat which give a pittance of stats. Meh. Anything that stands out I need to make sure I get? I would like to do the Nemesis fights for the equipment.

4) Is Onyx Spirit of Ra or Gold Ring of Set worth making? I am not sure what to make, and what to skip. I've made two Icy Deaths to stick each on Lara Croft so far.

5) I am at 575k and counting on this raid. Do you think I'll have enough to get the Glitz gem before it goes away on the 23rd? At 5 raid orbs in 5 hours, I question whether there is literally the time. I hit somewhere in the ballpark of 20k points per run. Is there anything I can do to directly improve my score?

6) How often can I use someone's Friend Unit?

7) How do I level up someone's LB?

8) When do events come out and how long do they last?

So for the rerolling advice, when does that take place as far as starting the game? Is it the point where rain and laswell are first talking about visions and they say to try it out proceeded by you pulling a random unit?

I still haven’t linked any facebooks because I didn’t wanna gently caress that part up, but I’m just curious if im already past it or I’m not even at it yet.

Also know that stat/limit pots are pretty rare. Dont spend them all on throw away units. Go in with a plan on who really benefits from their limit break. If the limit break increases your party's damage mitigation like Wilhelms/Chows, boosts elemental resistances like Yan's, provides stronger breaks like 9s/Tim's or imperils like Tidus then those are pretty good to upgrade. Straight up damage and heals aren't really that good, but 7*s makes dps limit breaks in some cases pretty good.

I have now been lucky enough to pull Ayaka. I also have a near-BiS Wilhelm, a Basch, and a near-BiS 2B.

Surprisingly, I also just pulled Explorer Aileen to go with my Aileen. To tackle the trials (Aigaion, Malboro, Bloody Moon, the 10-mans), would I be better off sticking with 2B and a friend for DPS or investing into the Aileens?

I also have Christine, if chaining with a friend T.Terra would be better.

After you get to the home screen, you should have some Lapis to spend and maybe a ticket. I literally have no idea what you get as a new player now, honestly they should just start every new player with a 5* ticket at this point. Anyway, as soon as you can get the homescreen and do more pulls.

I'm going balls deep on that one for TTerra in particular, but honestly pulling any of those six will be either immediately great for me or great down the line with 7*s.



Also, for Newbies who are having a hard time killing the event super boss snake, I put up a Cupid Artemios that can potentially one-shot it under the following conditions:

- You will need to reset a few times

Resetting is easy. Keep one unit available to move at all times. If things don't work out, close the FFBE application and just re-open it again. Accept to Restart the mission and it will put you back at the beginning of your turn, before you did anything.

- You must apply a 40% or better Light element imperil on the boss first thing

TGC and Agrias 6* can do this with Divine Ruination (un-awakened works in both cases). There are multiple other sources as well. The most important thing to note is that the imperil MUST be applied BEFORE Cupid Artemios is ticked to attack. Because C Artemios takes ages to actuall land his attack, whichever unit you use for the imperil will not be able to participate in the chaining step that amplifies C Artemios' damage.

- You must build a chain modifier up to 400%

Simplest way to do this is to have two identical units with some form of dual wield (Lara Croft for instance) and any multi-hit ability that is easy to chain. Equip the same elemental weapons on both. You will reach the max damage multiplier on the 10th chain hit with a single identical element across two chainers.

- You must land C Artemios' Lux Magna+2 at some point within that chain while its multiplier is 400%

Because Lux Magna has a 120 frame delay, you'll need to pre-fire it. This can take some practice, and you can reset until you get it.

- C Artemis will deal a variable amount of damage, even if all is done right, so it might still take a few resets to get enough damage to net the kill.

He will deal between 1.3x and 6.5x his damage. At 4.1x or more, he'll deal over 12 mil when capping a max-multiplier chain with a 50% light imperil on the snake, which is enough to kill it.

Edit: - Don't forget to get the Magic kill condition!

This might be easier to do with 6 party members vs. just 5, since you want to keep at least one member un-used in case you need to reset the fight. Also, you want something that won't be Reflected like Ultima, Alterna, or Meteor. Alternatively, you can simply dual-cast a weak spell like Thunder first and then longer spell like Thundaga/Holy after, so Thunder uses up the reflect and the next spell gets through.

I am at the always fun part of deciding to sell raid currency or keep pulling for the cactus and moogles to pump up misc units...

PaybackJack posted:

1) Droprates stack, and 9S TMR can go on anyone for the drop increase; you don't need to use him.

2) Very rarely, don't hold your breath for a specific one.

3) Story quests to current probably 30-40 hours of playtime if you're watching the cutscenes and doing all the explorations. That's also assuming you're burning lapis for NRG refreshes. Quests are good, the silver chests can mostly be skipped to current world, don't skip the elemental key ones as you get good rewards at the end for those.

4) I would rate both the current craftable accessories as above average. Since they're easy to craft given that you don't have to farm anything or anyplace you aren't already farming then make a bunch. +15 ATK is pretty decent for a free accessory, as you probably don't have a million Hero Rings.

5) Are you running ELT? If so then there isn't anything you can do to farm more points each run. Run as much as you can and Wednesday night pop some refreshes if you really need to. Staff is neat but as the 10 man trials offer better MAG and SPR weapons it's not really that much of a must get item.

6) I think it refreshes every 3 hours?

7) Burst Pots. They're little gremlin-in-a-pot units that you can use to increase stats. The ones labeled "Burst" are for LBs. Also it goes up by ONE every time you use it (ignore this). IMPORTANT: The exp you require to level is lower at lower star levels, so it's easier(requires less exp) to get a LB to level 20 at 5* than 6*. If you have a unit that you don't need max level and can have them sit at 5*80 for a while, and that unit has a really good LB it's worth it to keep them at 5* unit you have leveled their LB to 20, then level them and finish off 20-25.

8) We get a new event every one-two weeks, and events last for two weeks.


After you get to the home screen, you should have some Lapis to spend and maybe a ticket. I literally have no idea what you get as a new player now, honestly they should just start every new player with a 5* ticket at this point. Anyway, as soon as you can get the homescreen and do more pulls.

Here's a video guide. Highly recommend using multiple instances.

There's got to be other ways to do it such as deleting and reinstalling, but using the Facebook login is the quickest.

No. FFBE is very resilient when it comes to remembering your account. You have to use a new device altogether or sign out of Facebook.

Sadly the quickest way is indeed to have a burner Facebook account. When you go through enough to decide you don’t want an account, you sign in to the fake fb account then back out. Repeat until you get a keeper and sign in with your real account.
