That's a solid OP.

If everything holds to form I'll pull a good unit the second Cactaur Dunes closes.

Stumped on what to use a few summon tix on. For BF I could really use Tillith, but that's it (well Elza but I don't factor in chances at Rainbows). Dark Destroyers I could really use CoD (and DKC, but yeah, Rainbow) and already have Garland. The upcoming one I already have Butz and Exdeath so could only use Gilgamesh. Leaning towards trying to get CoD since its only a 3* and I have Refia to heal for now. Really though I just awakened Butz to 5 so I have a pretty decent backlog of units to level with 6* Ex and him coming up.

Speaking of crystals, I was disappointed the 1200 lapis bundle has Rainbow blooms instead of sacred crystals today.

Also a reminder to do the weekend crystal thing in the vortex even if all your Espers are maxed for the 150 Lapis.

Used some of the energy from black friday 350 Lapis bundles to slog out getting the +10 atk materia and Carbuncle. Man that was boring to do all at once, but at least I've got the story missions covered for a while.

The last 2 banners I've gotten crap from banner units, not a single 6* capable unit, but good off-banner ones. I got Bartz the banner before his, WoL, Agrias, and an Edgar that I won't fuse like the other 3 I ate.

Please bring back black magic in Arena. As a non-Lightning or Luneth haver I'd rather lose in 2 rounds than win in 6-7.

At least 12 pulls last banner: No Exdeath. First pull this banner: Exdeath. :iiam:

You could always do an Edgar glass cannon setup. I don't think Chainsaw falls under the ban rules right?

I have 3, I guess I could for shits and giggles, but only one is 4* so would take a bit.

Other topic, is there a way to finish the bridge ELT with only great dps from a friend unit? My only good dps is a 6* Exdeath with meh 6* Dracwell and Bartz. I have 6* Refia and Cecil and can bring Agrias to full break so I have the other roles covered, just not my own dps.

Darn it event. I have 280 NRG bottled up I wanted to burn so I can hit "collect all" again when getting all the piddly 10 and 20 lapis things from clearing stages instead of wasting time doing it one my one

While the event is lame, I'm kinda having fun messing around with ELT tinkering with different combinations while keeping 3 3* Sazh's in the party. Gives an appreciation for the Esper abilities since the Sazh's would otherwise be useless. It's like 240 Gears a run for 13 NRG. Not great but keeps me entertained.

Kitted out Kain to 490 atk with double Dragon Killer and twin lance. He should be very good at killing the 2 headed dragon. I will leave him up for a couple of days so people can use him to beat the trial.

EDIT: Yep, he's good at it. Dragon went down without much trouble and now I have a fancy new hat.

Thanks, went smooth as silk. Refia, Cecil, Kain, Lightning, Exdeath, and friend Kain. No deaths and used one Echo herb.

Is the Chainsaw thing still viable (situationally of course) going forward? Back up to 4 Edgars after fusing 3 the first month of the game or so and wondering if I should level them.

Yeah, I mysteriously pulled one on Thursday and one on Saturday. My other 2 rainbows have been Draculaswell and *snort* Gilbert. Weirdly enough even though I've played from launch and earned and pulled every event ticket and a 1/2 price every day, I have no CoD. Think I've spent like $4 on the game back when when you could buy Magicite and nothing since.

E: drat games blending together, Megacite

Man, I played the heck out of XIII, but don't remember Fang or Hope for squat.

Speaking of friend units and Trials, anyone running something suited for the plant? Sounds like I lucked out by doing the 2 headed dragon already, but haven't done Antonella or whatever it's called. Doesn't have to be up today obviously.

I just cleaned out my friends list, which left me with a whopping 40ish friend slots open. I tried to add a bunch of people from the spreadsheet but a lot had full friends lists.

If you have room, please add me 376, 049, 423. I could use Lightning just to help farm this event, but anyone active is appreciated.

I have a mediocre 6* Cecil up now, I'll put Noctis up as soon as I get him to 100 and gear him up.

Since I've been gone for a few months, are there any exploration key chests I should go pick up now?

Likewise, are there any critical quests with good rewards I should go after now?

I have to say I've amassed a ton of Sacred Crystals last event and this one. Of course now it's more important to get the 6* stuff.

After getting 2 Lightning last week I only bothered using 5 tix because it won't get better than that.

1/2 price Kefka
Gold Bedile'd
Charlotte
Maria
Edgar
Mercedes

Would like a Chorizo as have wanted her since launch, but with 2x Lightning, Draculaswell, and Butz (and now Mercedes to level) I'm not hurting for 6* melee. If I get her from a daily, cool.

Why doesn't the maze count as a Vortex daily? Whatever, I never got the lapis from the Creation chamber in the Vortex of desires so just did that.

1/2 pull was Blanka I think.
