No, my question is from the time they were introduced, I think back in December, up to this point, how many Units can you have gotten? If my memory is correct they gave everyone 20 free but how many more could you have got since then? (10 tickets = 1 Unit)

That was a trip. 250 lapis pull. Blue. REFORM. Gold! REFORM. Rainbow! Elfreeda! I already have Aileen. This bodes well.

But I guess that mostly depends on being able to turn a non-kill into a kill with the addition of another terra. She already does obscene damage with her quad cast.

I forgot the best reason to get CG Nichol; Bards loving suck rear end on these stupid 10-man trials. Ok, Elnath; all set for your phase 3. Oops mistimed Ramza and can't switch him because *Bard*. GG lovely mechanics.

Her STMR is great for her on protracted fights but if all you want is absolute death on turn 1 then no 2 7* t.terras + friend will probably be better. If T.Terra gets a 4x chaining partner and that partner has more utility then yeah I'd burn the other two for the stmr.

HGH posted:Onion Knight enhancements to his passives give him a buff for using Light Armor, so you can couple that TM along with Onion Armor eventually. He’s already stacked with atk - he goes up to 125% base atk if you hit all his enhanced passives. With two weapon masteries and 40% materia he’s 5% over the cap already. Mostly it just would have been nice to have the DKS alternative materia not be a 5* base Ugato fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Apr 16, 2018 |

Man I love when a DR chain just up and breaks for no apparent reason with the last 10 hits and I don't get credit for killing a boss with an Esper because the boss died before the chain broke, withthe Esper ended up in the 2nd smaller chain. "Kill X with an Esper" is the dumbest mission requirement in this game because of the idiotic mechanics involved in it.

BDawg posted:And his 7* is supposedly one of the best. Its mostly because he synergies perfectly with Hyou, which a lot of people consider the highest damage unit in the game ( I think randy does more damage though). Hyous big weakness is that he cant imbue himself with an element and if he's maximizing damage then he's probably using a high variance 2 handed sword, which almost always doesn't have elements. Shera is a TDH chainer with DR frames and W-Attack just like Hyou but has a cooldown ability that grants an ally and himself fire imbue. Hyou himself has strong fire imperils as well. Damage wise he's probably lower than other self imbue units like Tidus but his ability to imbue others and access to DR frames puts him over the top.

Varance has rated him 18.18 at 7*. For comparison: Loren is 18.51(the highest rated unit) Tidus is 17.78 CG Lasswell is 18.03 Orlandeau is 17.54 Veritas of the Dark is 17.86 Aileen is 18.03 Randi is 18.43 Seems pretty good!

I chipped it down to where it was nearly impossible for an Esper to not kill it. I usually do not get this on the first run. I tried this time but I called Bahamut too early and he shot his load before the OK chain started...

Crash_N_Burn posted:Can someone explain how to do huge damage via chaining, please? I'm really bad at it Basically you want to queue up two units that have similar frames and then hit them one after the one as fast as you can. If you're playing on an emulator you can use a macro to ensure those units spark chain for maximum efficiency but on a mobile device you either need to be really quick or use the magnification trick. You'll also have varying results based on the frames of the attack. Orlandeau's divine retribution frames are pretty easy to manual chain with just two units but units like Tidus and Onion Knight are a lot harder.

Swipe up from the bottom to bring up the menu, hit the home button to close it, then press the units you want to chain together (you have a second or two to pull it off depending on how fast your phone resumes running an app). I can generally spark 4 units at once without much trouble. If you have sound on, you’ll hear the sound effect for pressing but it won’t go off until the app resumes.

This works with the newest version of IOS (or hardware, i.e. no home button) as well, where you swipe down from the top-right corner to access the control panel. There's a moment of 'lag' when you swipe the panel away and it transitions back to the suspended app, and your inputs go off all at once when it's over.

I don't have any issues with chaining my ok and another ok friend on Android. Just place them next to each other and hit it within 500ms

There's a moment of 'lag' when you swipe the panel away and it transitions back to the suspended app, and your inputs go off all at once when it's over. Yeah it works with just about any form of resuming the app actually. You can do swapping or even just minimize the app and bring it back up. Swapping to the app seemed a hell of a lot tougher because it wouldn’t immediately recognize inputs; the menu method definitely was more reliable. I screwed up way too many chains when manually swiping the menu away, so I just stuck to hitting the home button. Absolutely worth doing if you have an OK or TTerra and, like me, couldn’t do a full chain manually if your life depended on it.

In case this isn't common knowledge, the stat pot in the daily Vault of Hidden Treasures is random, and you can "give up" and restart the dungeon until you get the stat you want. I started doing that to get MP or SPR pots.

I actually get why the 5* unit TMR moogles are so expensive in the shop but without blank moogles available they are a heavy investment for something you might not even have access to because you need to spend a ton of lapis on arena orbs I seriously hope gumi doesn't shaft people on them like alim is doing back in jp

They took out loren as the pay2win unit, putting her in the regular summon pool. This is lapis , but paying for refreshes are going to be required for those ranks

As long as they hand out a blank container in the point ladder in global I'm sure people will be fine with it. But getting a blank container every month might be insane but it's not like they can't control the amount of 5* unit TMR moogles they release and it's not like TMR farming and grinding for those moogles won't generate them cash

So the only way that makes sense then - these 5% moogles will turn a blank into a specific TMR and you can then fill out the other 95% with “all” moogles? Because getting 100% of a 5* base TMR from tm-specific moogles seems basically impossible outside of very concentrated events. And we’ve mostly had random one-offs from the MK events.

So what you all are saying is, get the Dark Veritas TMR moogle and sit on it. I'm assuming Genji Glove isn't worth getting because by the time these container moogles come along we'll be into the True DoubleHand meta.
