kalensc posted:That went a bit better but still couldn't keep Lenna nor Agrias alive past the 3rd round. CoDs are only doing 15-20k per hit of barrage and ExDeath was out of MP after 3 turns of Dual Meteor, so lacking DPS as well argh. I couldn't find an exact time when a round was "resolved" and resetting took you to the start of your next turn. There's some point between when the enemy takes their final action and before the animation ends that it locks you in I think. I'd watch to see what the enemy did based on animations, numbers, and health. If I saw Greg do his AoE wind slash and shoot a missile or two at Lenna it was a safe bet she was going down so I'd reset right away. Resetting is free so you can afford to be generous; If things look bad or Greg shot a ton of missiles or your nose feels itchy then reset and hope for better luck. I had reset quite a few times before I got my Greg down. MP is an issue, without the super DPS of good TMs it'll be a slog. Fill up on Turbo Ethers and Elixirs. I know I ran out on my CoD on Omniviel duty and if Cecil was lucky enough to be the only one punched I coudl top him up with a single Elixir instead of multiple Curajas. If you have the farplane souls work on crafting some DEF+10%s and load them up on Lenna and Agrias. Crafting Muscle Belts helps too for HP+10% but there might not be enough time for that. I was also wrong with my setup, I brought Maxwell instead of Kefka because Kefka is loving tissue paper. Maxwell was mostly an item flunky, she wasn't really contributing much to DPS with her moveset but she was durable enough to put off dying. It took... 8 rounds I think? It was a definite slog. Shark Tower posted:I'd go as far as saying non 6* capable units are no longer really viable, with the exception of full breakers since there's no real 6* option yet for them. That'll change soon with Rain's 6*, and later WoL's. Yeah, the power creep in this game is getting to my party. Lenna explodes way too easily and she's my best healer. I can barely use Kefka for similar reasons.

I finally pulled my second 4* base character: Chizaru!  Only took until her third banner to finally pull her. Was feeling lucky and got punished with two Charlottes so that was the end of today's pull streak. I had also just dumped my gear cactuars into getting Bartz up to lv90 so it'll take a while to get Chiz up to speed.

The second island: Wolfsfang Peak and Zadehl Wasteland explorations were the best a while back. I'm not sure if that's changed with the newer islands but both can drop the Fire/Ice Megacrysts from the collection points. Wolfsfang Peak is big and the collection points are spread out though. Bring a Charm Bangle and Diablos if you got the Reduce Encounters ability on 'em.

Krile is a better healer than Maria, she gets dual cast and curaja. Work on her some but focus on damage dealers first. Killing stuff quick is the best mitigation on this game.

Gains from pots do carry over, the caps do increase as a unit awakens though. Use 'em as needed, just be mindful so you don't waste pots because you hit the cap before hitting a character's max rank.

hagie posted:Is there a limit to how many sacred crystals you can get in a day? Nah, focus on your murdersquad first. Locke isn't gonna clear content, he'll just help when farming drops (aka 90% of that is just the Vortex of Awakening). Leave leveling him for a rainy day or something. Get your best characters up so you can clear content, advance the story, and be able to do stuff that improves your team like events or trials. e: Also there's no cap for sacred crystals. The RNG is just a colossal rear end in a top hat with them nowadays. Awakening INT sounds like the most efficient way to get them, although I have abhorrent luck and stick to PRO.

Oh yeah, Noctis' bag of tricks is great and I'd prefer him over others like Lightning and Luneth for his versatility (although having a DW TM helps here). I was hoping for Dark Fina since I have a dozen friend Noctis and really, wining the coin flip and praying that my first rainbow wasn't going to be some 3/4* base as a 5*.

The best way to handle dead characters is to keep them from dying Go with Lenna, Cheer is a great party wide attack and defense buff and she gets curaja while Terra is stuck with cura. Plus Lenna has esuna for most status ailments (Petrify is cured by stona but not esuna. You can craft stona too, the recipe is in the first town. Check the wiki because it can be dumb to find) I'm still using Lenna as a healer and I've cleared all story content and can do most of the hard event content. Those that I couldn't raise wasn't gonna help (gently caress you Golbez and your AoE death)

The difficulty difference between trash and bosses explodes with Veritas of the Air or so and you should prioritize using your super/whale friends for boss stages. You can oneshot the trash phases without issue then hit the boss and do damage like you're chiseling a rock with your face. It's really annoying.

There's some quests and exploration chests that give recipies for decent gear. There's the Fire Rod recipe you can get on the third island to give mages a weapon, there's the Black Belt Gi on the second for armor that gives attack, and the Muscle Belt to give units some extra HP+10%. There's also Tiger Masks for a bit more ATK over Green Berets but they need fire megacrysts to craft and Hero Rings are more important to craft using those first. But yeah, after the third island it's all the same poo poo. Green Berets is probably the last thing worth buying in stores, everything else is repeats or trash like Element Resist +5% accessories.

hagie posted:Usefulness of the following TMRs: Lordly Robe Good armor for casters. idk offhand what's comparable but if you got some good mages it'd be worth working on eventually. Angel Earrings: Poor. Auto-regen is also available on the Angel Ring which doesn't require TMR grinding, MP+20% rarely helps killing poo poo faster and Turbo Ethers and Elixirs can help with MP issues, and Dark Resist+50% isn't much of a game changer. Miracle Shoes: Auto-Regen is still trash and Auto-Protect and Auto-Shell don't stack with better buffs like Embolden, Cheer, and Focus which you'll probably end up using anyways. Goddess Bow: It's a good bow but bows aren't really top tier weapons. They can't be dual wielded and I'm not sure if any great bow users are coming along. Aquan Killer, Stone Siller: Good to have when they're relevant but these are Friend Point unit TMRs, blow your friend points summoning them and hopefully you'll get the 21 needed to squeeze them into one of these. Spend your energy/lapis on harder to get and more useful TMRs. Hopefully you'll get the other good friend TMs like Dragon Killer and HP+10% (and Banish for all those challenges that's using it and you don't feel like swapping in a healer I guess) at the same time. That's my thoughts at least, Lordly Robes are the best of that lot and the rest aren't worth it unless you run out of good TMRs to grind out.

Rubicon posted:Are the chests that require keys worth it? It depends on the chest. Most are total garbage but some are great. The stat+10% ability recipes are in locked chests for example which are fantastic to craft for easy stat gains and filling up the ability slots. Here's a list of the locked chests and their contents. My recommendations are: Top Priority MAG+10% recipe ATK+10% recipe (because killing stuff faster is good) Baraerora recipe (because there's a story rear end in a top hat boss you can't bring a companion unit to who uses wind attacks) High Priority DEF+10% recipe SPI+10% recipe Muscle Belt recipe (these will help keep your squishier support allies in the fight) Spirit Slayer Bug Killer Good to Get Barblizzara recipe Barstonera recipe Barwatera recipe (having the bar-element-a spells are handy for those hard bosses that throw elemental poo poo your way, not as critical of you have a Cloud of Darkness who has Omniviel or Marie who has innate better bar-element-aga spells. Barfira and Barthundera don't require magic keys and you get them somewhere else) Tiger Mask recipe MP+10% recipe (maybe) Dispel recipe (maybe, some characters have this anyways and you can get it on some espers too but eventually you'll be drowning in keys) The rest are probably skippable but it's worth checking out what's in the locked chests with each story update to see if there's good poo poo in them or not. e: quote for slowpostin' e2: also bold tags e3: Moved baraerora to top priority on hey girl you up's suggestion because yeah, gently caress that boss Scrublord Prime fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Feb 23, 2017 |

The advantage Luka has over Refia is that her heal is also an AoE esuna. Her buff is DEF/SPI though so you can't use her to buff ATK like Refia's Embolden can, Refia has Full Life over Luka's Raise, and of course dual cast with Refia is loving nuts. If you don't have anybody else with AoE esuna and spare gigantaurs it migh be worth working on Luka in case its needed but otherwise I'd stick with Refia.
