I'm just now looking at Rikku's enhancements and yikes. Does she win the reward for "worst enhancements on a unit that's actually useful"?

Generally the more useful the (non 5*) unit the worse their enhancements. Tilith's aren't out yet but they are similarly bad.

Outstanding afternoon. "I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."

So I still have a few more questions about setting up the TMR macros after reading through the stuff on the website, are there any decent videos to watch that give a good idea of it? I didn’t see any on the pages I went through but that could have just been my phone being lovely and not loading them

The ffbemacro.com website has everything you need instructions wise, as well as the scripts you need. It really is quite simple.

I would also recommend setting up Google Chrome remote desktop so you can check on things while away, or if you're too lazy to get off the couch.

half draw today was my first Aileen. Which build is superior for her — dual wield or TDH? And with which non-aileen characters does her enhanced piledriver chain?

Anyone else had issue with trying to macro in the past couple days? Mine's supposed to power its way through most everything but it keeps getting hung on the second fight with 1 enemy alive. I know rarely there are fights with 3 enemies in it, but my macro throws in a 3rd attack every minute or so to kill that guy off if needed. I come back to see all 3 units have attacked but there's still 1 unit alive.

I know in this case it's also not a lack of damage - my primary attacker units are a fully leveled cloud and a 5*/80 elfreeda. Even so those slots have bahamut/odin attached so the worst level 1 attacker can still do massive overkill on those rats and bats.

Only thing I can come up with is that they attack too fast - Cloud's auto is ridiculously fast. I'm really at a loss though for how it manages to hang about every 15 minutes, though. I could see it happening rarely, but the rate it's happening is silly.

Self imbued FD is probably her highest damage but it has a turn of setup. Dual wield has the issue of her chain breaking in the middle TDH is better

Mine(Nox) has been running super strong as of late. I've not woken up to a crash in weeks.

Obvious solution but did you try changing your front and back rows?

Side note: having two Avengers seems to knock a second or so off the speed time. Not a huge gain but it also makes those times when you want to manual out a .01‰ a bit easier too.

6* Camille, Beatrix, 7* Dark Veritas, Explorer Aileen, Lara Croft (you should have two if you were playing during her raid, plus there is room in the numbering for a 7* version,) 7* Randi, Sephiroth, Lenneth all chain with +2 Piledriver.

Looking at the Famitsu FFBE wiki, 7* Randi is almost as good a chainer as Sephiroth, who only misses out on one major group, Kunshira, Loren, and Lunera. I need another Randi or they need to do the general 7* awakening material.

Also looking at that page, people with multiple Lightnings rejoice! at 7* she learns Endless Drive, which chains perfectly with Tidus' Quick Hit.

I might be able to help if you're just looking for a LGD capable carry unit and don't need it to be a bonus. If you can provide the chains and a method to escape the first mobs, I can provide a max EVO magic Garnet with Bahamut that call kill the bosses with a capped chain.

Edit: well, I just pulled Seymour so once I buy some cactuars I might be able to put up a bonus unit to do this. But Garnet has a spell to fill the evo gauge and Seymour doesn't.

Your own 7* unit (not impossible, but unlikely) and a buddy 7* unit is 400% already. Toss in 3-4 50-75% boost units and you'll break 550% pretty quickly.

Though if we get the same Step Up that Japan had for Squall/Rinoa, big spenders could easily have multiple 7* units. :retrogames:

What's the gil cost on upgrade to 7* again? I have 14 million in the bank now, and I'm thinking I need to start hitting the Turtle events when they come up between now and 7* release.

Pretty sure it's only 3m but you're going to need tens of millions of XP to go from 100 to 120. On my neglected JP account my 7* CG Reagan is level 110 and with about 2/3 of the bar full he needs 599k xp to hit level 111. My Lightning is level 115 and with about 4/5 of the bar filled she still needs 828k xp to level.

7* XP reqs do not gently caress around. If anyone thinks "oh when 7* come out I'll 7* and level a full team of 7* capable units I have ready and waiting" they'd better have a couple hundred million XP banked.

JP describes this process as a pain in the goddamn rear end. To get the most out of it you have to fuse each Cactaur one at a time or something. I think it’s because you waste the greater and amazing successes.

Going from 6* to 7* even if you are just giving them a single level, can often times be a massive increase in damage thanks to the passive from their TMR.TDH aileen gets most of her damage increase from 101 and then its just raw level stats after that. Lorraine gets most of her utility at 101, and most of her passive buffs and chaining capabilities by 105. T.Terra gets most of her alpha damage supremacy by level 105.

You can look over the reddit database of JP characters and they all follow the same pattern. Big changes the first 5 levels, a good but not necessarily game breaking ability at 110, passive stat at 115 and then another passive stat increase at 120 with some flavor attached, usually heavily favoring equip attack or magic.

I have had the same issue on Memu lately and am also using Cloud as one of my two attacking units. I also think the issue is because he attacks so fast, the game hasn't realized the first mob is dead yet, so the other unit attacks the same mob instead of the second.
