I know that the Dark Esper trial is the new hotness, but can you please put your Xons back up so us people berefit of anything even approaching luck can farm eggs for the rest of the event? needing a thousand rainbow eggs for these purecrysts is murder.

Bonus points if you build your Xon intelligently and his Waylay can one-shot things in Invincible. (Doublehand is better than Dual Wield, guys)

i actually did it with Victis' extremely strong Orlandu, although he did die a few times stopping me from getting the greatsword mastery. But I got the Sirens Robes and the Claw! I wonder if a full party can prevent that next time, the real issue was that my Cecil with provoke isn't 100% so he doesn't absorb all of the Osmose. I don't think I have the materials to take Snow to 6*, i wonder if 5* Snow can do the job.

Everything is decent if you aren't going TM crazy, if you are then everything is kind of meh. The crown is good and the mask is good, but you might be best served just getting the crown and skipping the mask because you need a ton of eggs for the awakening mats and those are pretty important.

Also hi yet another Ludmille (up to five again), and Krile.

And... huh, now I have a second Ariana from doing the new Stage map. I wonder if her TM stacks?

For the 2-headed dragon I had a surprisingly easy time using 2 dual wield Firions (friend unit with ~700 atk, mine with ~550 atk and Twin Spear) and a dual wield Chizuru equipped with dragon killer and Odin, although I did have Refia for her Embolden buff and silence resistance. The rest of my team was Cecil (tank) and Yshtola (with my luck it would KO Refia even with Cecil on Provoke duty). Those 3 attackers with Embolden did almost 50% damage to the dragon each turn with normal attacks, and I killed it in 4 turns total after guarding through the first threshold attack. You could probably swap CoD or Luka for Refia in that team for AOE status removal while silenced.

New DA stage wasn't bad at all. Ran it once playing it safe with DA in the party, went slow using abilities and didn't let anyone die. Went back a second time and watched as the LB from two Olives wrecked it hard. Thankfully LBs don't count as abilities.

You are going to want to upgrade the second Ariana to 5 at least.

Gold #9 on this banner and still no Xon. Got Refia #5 or something. Glad they kept the egg seekers on the 1/2 price pull, can avoid getting a 4th Lightning.

What exactly do they mean by "no ability" in the new Ariana fight? No equipped abilities? No skills/magic? If so, do reaction skills count?

Magic spells are ok. Counterattacks are not. Take two healers with Curaja and your best DPS that doesn't counter and a friend Olive. Olive is best cause her mortar doesn't count and her LB is quick to fill and deadly.

No abilities used. This includes counter abilities like Dystopia. Magic is fine. Y'shtola is huge for this fight for Shellga. Make sure everyone has at least 4k+ HP or they're gonna die from triple Dissonance.

Dual Cast is fine, Magic is fine, Limit Bursts are fine.

When you're selecting abilities, magic has a little colored orb and level on the bottom right.


And when readied, magic spells have this burst icon.



Abilities have the little crystal icon:

Switched out Noel for Cecil, took a friend Olive and blew her up. Anyone else attempting the achievement take Cartoon Man's advice and bring Olive. Her mortar and LB make the fight significantly faster compared to plinking away with even a high powered Orlandeu.

I could've sworn they've referred to the crystal icons as "skills" before, but I'm probably just extra dumb today. Thanks again everybody!

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
Is it just a display bug, or is the daily pull banner still Egg Seekers and not Awakened Warriors? I'm not complaining if that's the case, but it seems weird that they'd introduce a new banner but keep the daily tied to an older one.

Not sure if it's a bug or not, but they definitely kept the daily banner as the Egg Seekers and it's the first time they've ever done something like this. Pretty cool.

Is dangerous Ariana worth taking to 6* and mainstaying in my party? It would mean my usual party would be:

Chizuru

Thancred

Any feedback would be great, even in regard to the efficiency of the rest of my party.
