Additionally, if I just run like six clients on my computer to reroll, can I just continually/close open them out or is it better to do the Facebook log in and log out with each?

Sounds like we�re doing this thang then. Is the unit list from the wiki a good one to follow for top tier guys? I was also reading the FFBE beginners guide on reddit which had a list of �top� tier units to hope for on rerolling.

And just so I�m understanding that I�m doing this properly, I have an account linked to a dummy Facebook with initial pulls already done on it. I log out of that, start a new game, rush through tutorial, do my pulls and a) if I don�t like them then I log in to my dummy facebook, log out, and repeat from step one, b) if I do like them, link to main Facebook and I�m finished

Sorry if I made that convoluted but I�m just trying to make sure I�m not screwing myself because I want a nasty rear end dual wielding/two handing top tier warrior type. I�m going to be in here with probably a lot more annoying questions as I�ve never played a final fantasy game and played very few games like this in general, but am loving this.

Because of UoC tickets I would roll for any unit that has a 7* form and is a damage unit; although that's debatable as some would say pulling Ayaka now as a starting unit saves you from having to worry about rolling her later and it's her or CG Fina(and Yuna I suppose) as your best healers.

Here is the copied, pasted, and pruned list from reddit, of the 7* unit aggregated rankings. Obviously this list does not include Global Exclusive units, which are almost always quite good, and we should probably expect their 7* forms won't be terrible.

Emulators specifically have a feature that allow for multiple instancing; it's a button on Nox called mutliplayer. See here

I pulled a 5* rainbow zaggarbarth just now and also a 3* vaan with it, but nothing else really. Only reason I mention that is because I�ve seen zaggarbarth mentioned before and I don�t want to toss him if he�s super rare because he looks pretty cool, and I�ve also heard good things about vaan but I�m not sure if that was outdated

Specifically what I was referring to. Basically I was curious if it�s better to just close out and open new instances using this, or have a set number of instances open and reset them repeatedly using the Facebook trick?

Personally, I'd just go the instance route and not touch anything facebook related until I was ready to choose a roll.

Also don't keep Zarg. He's been extremely power creeped by bards and I don't have faith enough in Gumi giving him an amazing 7* form.

Lastly, the only 3/4* characters you care about are: Zidane, Warrior of Light and Mystea. People will argue for other ones but Mystea and Warrior of Light are the best 4* tanks; covering AOE magic and physical respectively. Zidane has the only TMR you care about: Dual-Wield(this is another good reason to roll for Loren as her TMR is DW+, drat shame her banner fell off today). Other than those three, I really wouldn't concern myself with any other unit that isn't 5* right now.

I pulled warrior of light actually with my exdeath pull, maybe I have another good tiered character in that pull as well lol. Would that be considered a keeper even though I pulled them both at 3/4*?

Can I start farming for TMR(?) as soon as I�ve got poo poo up and running on my computer as well? I love the idea of botting tbh because I was a huge diablo 2 player

No! Pull a good 5* character. Don't even think about 3*s and 4*s right now.

Yes, you can start farming TMRs right away if you really want to. It's far less exciting than Diablo 2 botting though.

Didn�t go full balls deep on Batch 3, but used all my 4*s, 1 lapis 10+1, and the 10+1 ticket. This is also including 15 vanilla tickets AND what few EX tickets I had. So 20 something pulls on banner.

Only banner rainbow I got was Veritas of Light.

Batch 2 has some of the best healers out there. Ayaka for example.

Batch 3 has some of the best magical damage. Trance Terra for example.

People will disagree but I'd skip both of the limited banners for now. CG Fina comes out, probably next week and can fill the role of top tier healer and top tier MAG damage.So I would just roll on the RARE SUMMON BANNER.

I think the best thing you could roll would be a Dark Veritas because he's excellent at 7* and he's still really good now. He also has a TMR that is very very good. Loren is really good at 7* but not great at 6*. Tidus is a solid choice as well because he can play DPS and support very well; and his 7* is good too. Orlandeau is also good, though not as good at 7* as Dark Veritas and more limited in his role now; but is A+ DPS at both 6* and 7*. Pyro Glacial Laswell is good if not great now, but should be more than fine and becomes amazing at 7*.

Note: 7* stuff is still 10~ away for the majority of the units we're talking about. Who knows if they'll gently caress the release dates around like they did with the enhancements and leave Aileen people waiting for the meta to almost pass her by before giving her the big upgrade.

Actually now I'm looking at either Tonitrus the lightning GS, or actually letting her use Artisan now that Aileen is becoming more popular and she can do more damage than Ex. Aileen when dual wielding. I have a number of Aileen friends that have enhanced.

Still looking forward to pulling Steiner eventually but at this time I reckon I can make do.

I'll throw down a roll for her with the story lapis, at first I liked the 4* with the +45 MAG accessory but then I kind of realized I probably wouldn't use more than 1 or 2 of them; if that.

You guys like memu or nox more?

Use Memu

Also, for the banner - there are basically no bad pulls on this banner. CG Fina is a great healer and can deal damage. The cat is a solid hybrid dps with some group resist buffs and a variety of damage types. The dog has a good magic accessory and is probably the worst pull for most people, despite the fact that it�s better than the majority of units we�ve had over the past several new banners - he has a 60% light imperil for those who are trying to do one-shot setups. The 3* is trash but has an excellent ice katana with baked in killers. You should be doing dailies at least as any on-banner is, at worst, good.

It's not what they expected.

Spoiler alert, shelling out that much thinking it's gonna pay out based on some hypothetical 7-star future game you're playing in your head just means you're gonna be extra sad when you don't get the banner unit.

Explorer Aileen is grood, Sakura is grood.

Oh yeah, they are mechanically solid units. I've just got a strong distaste for Sakura (really most of the main cast) and I was hoping to secure a 7* on the mage banner with 70 tickets. I'll TM 'em but I doubt I'll make room in my party for them.

Olive carried my sorry rear end through most of this game, I love that girl.

I�m just planning on using dailies for good banners and otherwise stockpiling all my ex stuff for when Sephiroth/CG Nichol comes out. Right now our updates are very scatter-shot compared to the JP release schedule, not even counting the collabs we aren�t going to get. Based on the time span we�re operating on, Sephiroth could be as early as next month (note: this is incredibly unlikely to happen. Just used as a point for how different our update schedule is now).

I did this as well. And didn�t have DW for them. Chaining the longest animation finisher with the shortest animation chain (Red Card) makes everything else seem ridiculously easy in comparison.
