Where's everyone finding information on Fryevia's enhancements? I was expecting them to come out this morning, but I still can't enhance her ingame and the wiki still doesn't have any information on her yet.

Folks at reddit datamined the new game version.

It doesn't come out until tomorrow. It's a preemptive apology for something they are not going to bother to fix in the 24 hours they have to fix it.

Same as that time they told us like 3 days in advance that a bug would cause all their bundles to disappear in 3 days.Then they apparently didn't try to fix it in those 3 days, and sure enough, they disappeared.

Hey all,

I've been lurking for a long time looking for an amazing cel game to drop all my spare time at work into. From everything I've read and looking at the communities around the SA forums this game seems to be really amazing. I have been a longtime FF fan, and the number of people in the community giving away accounts and helping newbies out is really impressive. So here I am taking the dive, and I even got a pretty bad rear end start with the help of a redditor (Loren x2, Tidus x2, Wilhelm, Trance Terra, Seabreeze (?!?) Dark Fina, Nyx, Aileen, Lara Croft (Tomb Raider??? that's not FF) and Delita). I saw the google spreadsheet and am going to put my info on there, but looking forward to you all schooling me on how to kick this game's rear end. At least I snuck in before this whole 7* thing is happening. Nice to meet you all!

Post your friend code here for those of us too lazy to comb through the entire sheet comparing it to our friends list for people we have added. (It's me, I am the
lazy one.)

I haven't come across that team yet, but apparently they are no joke!

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/8byyuk/watch_out_for_gupao_in_arena/

People are suspecting TDH units geared to the gills (to bypass evasion units) with Pod Mirage chaining. The low level units help because they have few skills to choose from, so higher likelyhood the AI will pick Mirage.

I think I'm now a fan of this guy.

I saw a guy do that with Ayakas once. She has practically no offensive capabilities, so if the AI decides on an aggressive action it'll default to Mirage.

I saw the same team! I gave them a chance to attack to see what they can do and got Mirage'd and Lance'd for it. They got two turns in and almost wiped my party but still died easy at least.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Unless that team can all pop off mirage with an elemental chain they'd do almost nothing to my Ayaka. Especially right now with the FFBE bonus putting her at about 9.5k HP. :black101:

That Arc Arcana staff isn't bad at all. Super Seymour wasn't that hard, two Trance Terras took off something like 20% of his HP each round.

Giving the staff to a unit who has Dualcast but nothing worth Dualcasting, like Marie, seems like a great idea.

He didn't seem to hard looking at the teams that people had used on the wiki page but the bastard made me use up a phoenix down and an elixir because apparently he has an instakill move of some kind that he randomly decided to use on Ayaka. I was never in any real danger after that but that was kind of a turn two gently caress you.

VoD, Orlandeau, Basch, Ramza and Ayaka was my team. Would have killed him in 3 turns if I hadn't had to waste two of them getting Orlandeau and Ayaka back up after being Death'd.

Did the story event up to the last two events; now it's time to wait for the guides to come up to see what gimmick the last boss has.

I had a rough time going in blind to Seymour, but since I always spam Ayaka's reraise the surprise Deaths only served to drag out the fight.

In another episode of T.Terra Stands Alone, I made a T.Terra that reddit says should solo Seymour if you need help with the fight or don't want to bother gearing a team to deal with the Death attack. For anyone new this is a great way to get 10k currency towards buying that Dual Wield. Also that Arc Arcana is good for early mages, and tied for second best healer's staff.

Was bored so I ran Bonus 2 blind with basically the same team I took to do Seymour with the addition of a friend Lulu for the elemental missions.

Seemed like the last boss has threshold attacks at every 20% that hit the party for AOE damage, Basch was defending against physical but didn't seem to cover them very well so they might be Magic or I just had lovely luck, but with Ramza's song and the ATK broken I was taking 3.6k damage every threshold. Wasn't a huge deal but I reset once in order to keep the paper Lulu I brought alive for the moogle.

^ ditto. Got a Jake today. He’s a good expedition unit I guess. And his TM is... decent for chow/mystea?

More importantly, I’ve had a rando in my friend list who plays every day but I’m guessing not that much. I’ve been steadily gaining distance from them in terms of rank. And they’ve basically been working hard to put together the best Agrias they possibly can. Suddenly I stopped seeing Agrias pop up on my list. I checked to see if they had dropped me from their list or something but it looks like they finally got a Lunera :unsmith:

If we get the same thing as JP that was a guaranteed on-banner for the last step, right? Sephiroth or Lila? Kinda hard to go wrong there.

Cao Ni Ma

Yeah you are guaranteed 1 rainbow that may be on banner or may not be on banner and a guaranteed banner rainbow on the last step of a run. You can repeat the process 3 times but you are going to be a mega whale to get 75k lapis. But the real price are the obscene rainbow modifiers on the last steps. It would be serious bullshit if gumi tones down the Seph step up for global. They've been doing pretty good with the packages and the free stuff the last few months so I'd be disappointed If they take a step back

Step 4: 10+1 with 6% rainbow rates
Step 5: 10+1 with 9% rainbow rates and guaranteed Seph/Lila

Clarifying that. Rainbow-wise, the second and fourth steps average out to about 11 4 star tickets each, unless the +1 goes from 5% to 7.5/10%.

The final step is really the prize, and I'm not sure you should go for the fourth unless you can do the fifth, that's effectively 10 10% rainbow tickets, or 10 + a 30% rainbow ticket if the +1 triples as well, plus your guaranteed on banner rainbow.

You'll get an average of 5 5* from doing the seph banner step up each time. You might strike out and just get the two guaranteed ones but the odds are incredibly low for that to happen.

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

I pulled a rainbow today as well... and it was dark Fina :sigh:

At least I have prishe now from a pull a couple days ago.

My current set is Dark Veritas/Earth Veritas/Lotus Mage Fina/Ashe/Prishe

I have amelia, zidane, wadow, garnet, yuri, dark fina, exdeath, and a few other random decent 6* capable units. Am I rocking the “best” party out of the guys I have right now?

TBH, I'd swap out Prishe (who is good, but doesn't work with your other guys at ALL) and swap in Garnet, and fully upgrade her. She'll make hitting the "evoke X" and "Kill with Esper" missions ten billion times easier, and can act as healer to free up Fina to do a little nuking.

I'd also look for a Warrior of Light to raise and enhance, to swap with Earth Veritas at need.
