What’s Freyvia’s best damage rotation? Assuming two of them at 7*, hybrid DH builds, with max enchantments.

Two, also rate up on the third step, and half of those units are not available anymore, *and* most of those units are very, very good at their jobs. or at least have silly good TMs.

I rarely have the lapis and tickets when time limited units come around, unless they’re ones I pull accidentally on dailies or something. Draculaswell and GL Sakura are the only ones I’ve got I think.

I’ll probably ticket for Sakura.

Her self buff + FFB on turn one. Then triple flower assault, then double assault + riposte. After that you want to limit break to reenable her triple attack

I'm probably gonna drop 100-200 laps this week on arena refreshes, something I've literally never done before in this game. The 1-3000 rank prize is 8 king burst pots this week and I really really need burst pots.

The new step up is a massive trap, you’ll never get the rainbow you want. Gumi always has a temptation banner right before something meta defining drops, save your Lapis for the new Christmas units.

At the very least wait until we see what the new Christmas units do -- the Fan Festa banner should last that long.

There’s always the hoard for Akstar option too...

With Sieg released, next month is Folka for anybody still needing a 7* healer, followed by Big Boi Ignacio, and then Cid.

Akstar is after that, so probably four months out, March/April timeframe.

If you can’t wait, Jecht/Auron should drop sometime in February.

For reference speculation, that step up doesn't have the Chinese New Year (Ang, Yun, Chow) nor Christmas (White Knight Noel, Kryla, Christine) characters on it. It's an easy pass for me, I don't want to get stuck with half a unit.


I'm gonna throw that GLEX UoC at good doggo Chow and hope his 7* makes him best doggo :shittydog:
Most of my GLEX rainbows are from collabs so they aren't on the list anyways and I really don't want to chase a 0.33% Doggo on the inevitiable triple rainbow CNY banner with off banner rainbows.

Not officially confirmed. I looked at the news on the step up that says:

gumi posted:

**** Any 5* units summoned will be 1 of the 16 featured global original units
And the UoC GLEX ticket lists 22 GLEX units. So if you subtract those 6 CNY and Christmas units you get 16 rainbows which matches the step up news. Plus the graphics doesn't show them :v:


e: updated my op to make it clear it wasn't official too

His 7* will be out by around the big power creep so chances are he'll be good. The Christmas units Im less confident about, they are not in a good spot in terms of the powercurve and I hope they do what they did with the Nier units and just sit on enhancements till later

All sensitivity has long ago atrophied
There has been some discussion over people really wanting Chow. I am curious to find out those of you that have Chow, if you want to make a 7*, and why if you do not, why you want one?

(please exclude "Because I like his sprite" or "Because I want the dog")

Magic Cover, Self-Reraise, buffs that prevent Stop or Charm for whole party, and is a fairly solid patch healer with Curaga. Additionally, his LB has both the big Damage reduction of Wilhelms, and a 54% MP restore to all units.

Chow has been my aces magic tank since I pulled him. His armor selection is great (has everything) and has DEF buffs for robes and SPR buffs for heavy armor. His weapons are limiting (he'd love Lilith's TMR mace but can't equip it) but he still has good options. Override, Aigaion Arm, or IW dagger gives him high tide for his LB (55% MP heal and 54% general mitigation for 1 turn @ lv25 LB) or Holy Wand for dual cast lets him d/c curaga, enunaga, or full life. Plus he can buff stop and charm immunity (on two different abilities though) and give himself reraise.

One problem is he has an innate ST cover. If he misses an AoE cover proc but hits the innate cover proc, well, :rip: No general status immunity like Mystea and A.Rain nor break resistance like Shylt too. No innate provoke either if you need that sort of tanking so he'll need Golem and other gear to do that which'll hurt his survivability.

I absolutely want to make him 7* even if I don't know what he'll bring. It might be a marginal upgrade like 7* LM Fina but he'll still be solid IMO. I'm hoping for w-ability though, turn 1 AoE cover and reraise or stop/charm immunity would be crazy :shittydog:

It's a definite advantage towards Basch, it's a dumb thing most magic tanks have. A.Rain, Chow, Mystea, and Shylt have the same 30% ST cover vs magic attacks. My luck hasn't been too bad but when it does happen... :argh:

Make that 7* Orlandu and chain with a buddy. There's a ton more Divine Ruination chainers out there too, the wiki has a list. See if you got any or pick friends from that list and chain with them.

Post your friend code here and in the discord too, I don't know if anybody still uses the spreadsheet. Also getting friend gifts is just... 99 at a time. Do it while watching TV or something, it's not critical to clean it out anytime soon really. If it's FP and if we ever get another FP for 3* TMR moogles then you might be set! they haven't announced any so the outlook is grim

Also I made some space for buddies: 479,088,281

I have a Chow and a 7* A.Rain, and 2 Basch. If I had to get another Magic tank it would be Beryl because he has damage potential along with his cover ability. Chow is nice but I can't see them adding enough to him, unless it's something like an AOE reraise that would make me automatically want a second copy of him. Not to mention I benched him for the exact same reason you did.

Yeah, do that! Lots of people have Divine Ruination-family chainers up.

Like me.

634, 188, 308 for anyone who wants to hop on board, I currently have a decent Fryevia up but sometimes switch to an event unit or Trance Terra. Goony message please so I know to accept!

Keep in mind that a lot of chainers like Hyoh and many Fryevias aren't set up for dual wielding, so you have to use their skill that lets them doublecast their abilities.

So I just logged in and got:

A 10+1 ticket
10 select tickets?!
Another Fan Fest ticket

Are those 10 select tickets the ones that were mentioned previously, that I should hang onto until the Christmas event so I can get a double of something from Christmas?

Also, would someone mind outlining the new raid event things so I don't accidentally do the wrong thing? I see an equipment upgrade dungeon thing, but when it asked me to pick a piece of equipment, it didn't list all the items I have. For example, it didn't list Virtuous Contract or Genji Blade as options.

And then there's a music event? And a hidden treasure event?

If there's a place I could read up on these things that'd be awesome.

E: I just noticed that Lotus Mage CG Fina now has a 7th star available, so I guess I should look for a way to get another one of her to turn into a crystal.

"That's why I put up with it."
Turn 1 AOE Reraise on 7* Fina seems nice enough for me to have already awakened her without checking any of her details.

Also somehow got Elfreeda #4 and Cloud #1 off the 1500 step on the Sieghard banner? Kinda wanted, you know, Sieghard, but Cloud probably does something nowadays, right? Hopefully?

(Also yeah, I'm assuming the fanfest select tickets aren't useable yet?)

EDIT without refreshing the page: Oh okay the tickets are used in the vortex menu. For some reason. Because.

Popstar Katy's regular attack is also pretty good, just a bunch of TV head weirdos stamping the target to death.

You can 7★ and STMR her, she seems to be a decent evoker with spot heals and fire magic. A Citra/Yuna-ish mix. Great for someone without an evoker, though.

1) Yes, and no you can't save them for Christmas. I mean you could save them for a while but the Christmas units won't show up on them.

2) Weapon upgrade dungeon has a limited selection, Katanas aren't an option this time. You can't gently caress it up, but try to get more stuff for things your weapon is good at (Rods = Magic, etc.) or High Tide for short sworts. The options are random every time so if you don't get an option you want keep running again.

3) Limit time music event, unit is...as good as it gets for a free unit. Farm the event for the materials if you really want to craft all her gear.

4) Run it each day, one time, for a pot, cacutar and turtle.
