Infected posted:While the Valentine's Banner looks kind of garbage, Cupid Luna gets Chainsaw and as a 5* has better stats than Edgar, of course her selection of elemental weaponry is rather limited. Meanwhile if the wiki is correct on the stats Cupid Artemios gets a single target 80% ATK/MAG buff. Luna is way harder to get specific elements on than Edgar, though.

I'm thinking Ring of the Lucii, ribbon, dualcast, and 3 +30%hp. I'll pair him with some decent but not great unit as bait and make them my arena team. Skip the 30% HP and give him 3 (if you can) Melody of Life instead. +60% resist to all elements is hilarious.

Mile'ionaha posted:Firion's schtick is DW, more than 1 weapons type, as many bonuses to those weapon types as you can get. Firion, more than probably anybody else, is strongly dependent on what TMs you have available to fuse into him. For instance, if you have a Mana Sword and a Rising Sun, then in the absence of Leon's TM, you're better off running the Rising Sun, ATK-wise. You end up with more attack and a bonus bird-killer. Same goes for a Romulan Pistol, sans the bird-killer. If you have kaiser knucks but no Yun or Snow TMs, consider carefully whether you want the wind element vs whatever else you have available. If you have no TMs aside from a dual wield, you can still do a pretty decent job of gearing him. You're looking for Gigas Axe (Secret of Mana event) or Mighty Hammer (FF3 event) or Death Scythe (halloween) in that order, while your off hand is best with Enhancer or Blood Sword for non-elemental, or a variety of fire-typed weapons (Vernard, Candy Gun, Chirijiraden) to complement it.

Rubicon posted:Just started playing and pulled a 5* Emperor with 4* Leon/Refia/Chizuru. As it stands, Emperor will get Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, and Aeroga at level 3. These will carry you for a long way. Buying the package will take him pretty much straight to 6 star level 100, but it will also make the game boring as gently caress until you get to the endgame, essentially. Emperor, Refia, and Chizuru is the core of a good endgame team, so don't worry about it too much and just play. Leon you'll replace eventually, but is perfectly serviceable until you get more 6 star capable characters.

No argument here, in no-TM land, Olive is unquestionably a better pull than Lightning. She's easier to equip, has only slightly less elemental coverage, and has a LOT of really good upsides that Lightning just can't equal, and her damage output is top loving notch. In TM-land, Olive does even better vs Lightning, topping out over 1100 real attack.

HGH posted:Everyone's hyping up WoL's 6* for its breaker abilities, but what about Garland? I hear he becomes not unlike a Lightning but with Doublehand instead of DW? He's literally doublehand Lightning with slightly more element coverage, as he can hit Dark, plus Air, Earth, Fire, and Water. He can also inflict Dark weakness. He is a hell of a budget beatstick, especially if you run some others who can either hit or inflict dark damage. If you -have- the dual wields, though, he's not going to hate having one. Unfortunately, without Doublehand stacking, that's not really enough to make him as absurdly long term useful as Warrior of Light's tanking and AOE breaks.

Kheldarn posted:My current team of Not 6★, But Slowly Getting There* is Cecil, Xiao, Exdeath, Gilgamesh, and Refia. Based on this, I should switch my team from to Xiao > Firion, and Gilgamesh > Cloud Of Darkness, right? Gilgamesh starts at 5, and is outside this chart. Nothing on here really compares to him. Firion is basically an inferior Gilgamesh for most purposes. Firion is better than Xiao, though, especially if you have a (second) dual wield to give him (your first should be on gilgamesh). Warrior of Light will absolutely be better than Cecil once he releases, and Fina gets some crazy poo poo at 6 stars. I'm confused why you've got all these not at 6 stars yet, though, when the upgraded cactuar dunes have been up all weekend. Just stockpiling? No awakening mats?

It's better than DK Cecil's best darkside-like by a significant margin, in both damage and HP cost, and if you're feeling comboriffic, with dual wield and her shiny new auto-rez, you can have her kill herself and auto-rez into her 200% ATK buff. It's a lot of trouble for a character who is pretty much as bad as a 5 star base can get, though.

She's got surprisingly good stats for a 5 star, and is probably the best character we'll ever get with Chainsaw. In other news, I have cleared out some old goons from my friends list, and need new, active ones. If you still haven't got a basic clear of Gilgamesh to get the genji blade, for tomorrow and possibly much of friday, I will have a 100% evade Lightning with status immunity up, equipped with Excalibur and Lad Mirazh (sealing holy and ice). All you need to do is bring her along, get past the third instakill milestone, turn off auto-limit, and then hit auto. She'll take care of the rest, guaranteed. If you can get that far with only 4 other characters, and/or without using items, she will also handle that for you. My code is: 103, 135, 071 I have at least 10 slots open, and I will keep removing idle goons as long as I have people who want slots. PS: The reason she's not useful for that purpose after friday is that I'm going to grab that new katana as fast as I can from the event, slam it into her hand, and give her 150% fire resist and 100% evade, so she can solo elite Ifrit as often as people can pull her up on their lists.

If Lightning is dead, raise her, then you can turn off auto-limit and hit auto. Sit back and laugh as gil flails wildly at a lightning he can't hit and she slowly carves him up for the win. Optionally, keep your other people alive and try to finish him with a limit break, or while fulfilling other conditions.

My test is still running, but I'm gonna say it now. I rushed Kiyomori from the event shop and now have an Ifrit-soloing Lightning up. She is currently halfwayish through a solo of Elite. It will take a LONG time, but if you want to use her, do as much damage as you can, then make sure auto-limit is ON (her limit breaks defense) and hit auto, then check in on it every once in a while. It'll get you an elite clear, guaranteed.

I am fearful due to no TMR weapons or abilities of any specific note. Also, I have no Lightning, or Noctis, but plan to friend that up. Also Refia looks like a critical piece in most builds, which I don't have. That party can probably get you there, but don't be afraid to run suboptimal weapons like Trident to seal things. If you got a Primm from the Secret of Mana event, she's pretty good vs Gilgamesh, since she's an off-heal who can hit 5 of his elements innately, depending on what you need sealed. From what I've seen, that party should absolutely be able to get my Lightning past the third milestone, though, so once Ifrit's down, you'll be good to go. As for Auto-Limit, that's a setting in your settings menu, down where you set things like continuous auto-battle. It controls whether your Auto command will trigger limit breaks when they're up. For Ifrit, you want it to do so, for Gilgamesh, you do not. NinjaDebugger fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Mar 25, 2017 |
