I haven't verified it, but you can pretty much guarantee all the dozen+ 1000+ atk goon Olives on the friend list can 2 round him on PRO, which will kill him before he can megaflare. Shattering shot round 1 and he charges megaflare, true shot round 2, dead.

If you've an Orlandeu yourself, and can chain with a friend Orlandeu properly (I can... sometimes) it's a one-round kill. I've done it a couple times.

Unrelated question to anyone who knows: how do I not suck at chaining Orlandeu? Is there a video or something that shows frames?

Medius is obviously a character you have to build for a alpha strike chaining team, it's not immediately apparent what to do with him and his Draw Attacks rear end.

Except in the White Dragon fight, because if it double maelstroms the same unit the 2nd hit still does 99% of the HP you had before the first maelstrom hit. :owned:

So I was looking at the Japanese wiki and the number 2 support guy is apparently this bard named Roy. When do we get Roy? Bards are cool.

(I like support classes.)

It's also good to see that dudes like Orlandeu are still near the top of the charts there. I call anything they rate above 90/100 a win.

I'm gonna end up around Rank 30,000 in the Bahamut thing, looks like.

He's also a 5* unit, so don't hold your breath. His song is also more potent than Ramza's, but takes multiple turns to ramp up. quite a few, actually.

ticket pulls:

Ludmille - I have three already and just completed a dual cast. Three dual casts are plenty. Smush!
Eight - One, not Eight, is enough
Grace - one of the new banner nerds!
Shadow - Don't pull Shadow, new players. Feed him to better units!

Just got it, which is why I asked. I just vaguely remember ages ago people were talking about dual wielding excaliburs in JP and so that's just stuck in my head. Now I need to level him up. I guess I'll replace Ramza with him.

9 runs without Holy or Sacred Crystals from Electric Tower with 5 100% trust units and stealing with a Xon, and Locke in party.

Seeing as how I was idly loving around and managed to pull Reberta out of a blue-turned-rainbow last night as my first 5* ever in this dumb game, this is relevant!

How deep in is it, though? If it's in the Pro+ section of the empire event, I... may have trouble getting to it.

Even as it is, the FFIII tower re-run has already turned Reberta into a comparative killing machine. Especially since I'm likely to remain casual as gently caress, an accessory like that would just be icing.

Grace seems reasonably solid, is she worth working on? I also pulled a Xon the other day, he's worth working on too, yeah? I'm done with Refia and almost done maxing out Setzer, so I guess I need a new target and a big gently caress-off mech seems like a fun choice.

Yeah, Xon has an ability that steals enemies' buffs and applies them to the party. It's pretty situational, but when it's useful, it's awesome. Every couple of months there are events with currency you can get from stealing, and his steal all ability is perfect for it. It's also situational so you may go weeks without needing it where he just sits around. For that reason he's worth working on, but not an immediate priority.

Threw 10 tickets into the void chasing Wilhelm, got a Grace, my third Xon (I wish his TM was better) and a bunch of trash.

Wilhelm is super appealing to me since he seems to be better Noel, and Noel has made many event/trial bosses significantly easier for me including, amusingly enough, Wilhelm.

Grace looks pretty mediocre. Most of her 4-5* moves are just copies from FP units (beams from Biggs and Wedge and Magitek Armor Terra and Sunbeam from Carrie's TM) which aren't that great. The big moves are Unlimited, Destroyer Arm, and Last Sequence. Destroyer Arm is good except its MP cost, Unlimited might be good for its huge number buffs but I don't know exactly what berserk will cause but if its loss of control and spamming auto attack, and Last Sequence uses a ton of MP and kills the unit just to deal damage.

There's also what she doesn't have. She doesn't have any offensive stat passives, just two HP+30%s. She also doesn't have any weapon masteries, killer abilities, breaks, or elemental resistance reductions and her biggest attacks hit once. She really doesn't have anything to get her offense going. It doesn't help that those FP unit attacks and her limit break deal magic attack while her 6* abilities like Destroyer Arm and Last Sequence deal physical damage so you can't focus on one stat and use her entire moveset.

She looks cool and her TM is good for casters but her ability loadout is a mess. Maybe not Medius bad but probably not worth investing much in to bring to battle.
