Nox/Memu run an instance of android on your computer.You just start an instance, it loads, you download FFBE and you use it just like a phone except with your mouse instead of your finger.

Once you do that, you follow the instructions in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/55f44k/lets_talk_nox_macros/

I have no idea if XP can run it, to be honest, but its worth a shot?

DKC likes it, as it's a good buff, and DW will make him kill himself constantly.

Garland LOVES it because he has it innately and it stacks with itself if it's from different sources. (Like two materia would be useless, but innate/materia is great)

The first, Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, is a cinematic based on Kingdom Hearts χ that details events not shown in the original game. The other, Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage, is an all-new game that takes place after the events of Birth by Sleep from the perspective of Aqua. Back Cover and A Fragmentary Passage will be the ninth and tenth installments in the Kingdom Hearts series.

100% AoE paralyze LB makes her Arena queen. Her toolset is okay too, even if she has a WEIRD stat distribution. She gets a 40% SPR ST debuff, a 50% ice/lightning/fire ST debuff, Focus and nice elemental coverage to single targets. Most of her damage seems to be physical, but you can also make her a mage if you have the TMs which, again, weird. Bad equipment selection tho (whips, daggers and normal swords). Girl's not setting the world on fire but she's a serviceable unit with a strong niche use, 100% paralyze in Arena is GG.

In reverse order:

Her event lasts until the 27th. If you look at each special vortex it tells you exactly how long you have left.

You can awaken to 5 and get the Lapis, but she's actually not a terrible unit at all, Bioga and Thundaga are useful, and her buff songs are great for one round kill parties. Also sometimes you gotta send someone out to die and it's the bard.

You need five of each girly Awakening material to get her to 5*, and ten more of each to get her to 6*, for a total of 15 of each. You can do the beginner level over and over to get them.

Her equipment requires Musical Notes, however, which are only dropped by the boss, which does not appear on the beginner level. The higher the level, the better the Gigantaur you receive in addition.

I was able to get all her equipment and get her to 6* in under 24 hours.

Minor correction: She's here until February 2. Shes also got one of the highest base MAG in the game.

Also make sure you make two gloves, and consider making a second Microphone. They can be Dual Wielded and only cost 5 notes to make.

So, I was using Nox before work to do some arenas while my phone charged. I entered the Nian exploration, not realizing it was an exploration, saw the map size and closed Nox, because gently caress that.

When I got to work and got back onto BE, I had successfully completed the exploration, and got all the rewards except for killing the Nian with a limit or whatever.

So, this event can be cheesed. Do with this information what you will.

Important Megacryst Note

This exploration is likely the best time to farm Megacrysts we've ever had. There are 6 collection points, and the base energy cost is 5.

These points drop lumber, ores, and then every flavor of crysts and megacrysts. I don't know if the chances are different for each difficulty, but I doubt it.

For newer players: this is important because one of the best items in the game is the Hero Ring, which is made with 10 each of Ice and Fire megas, which gives +10% atk/mag. There will "soon" be upgrades to those rings, using the other colors and light/dark. You should keep your megas always.

So pretty much all the generic units below 3* are worthless right? What's the best thing for me to do with those? Enhance them into other units or just sell them?

Friend summons are only good for their TMs and to sell.

The important ones are: Any Killer, HP +10%, Camouflage. Get one or two copies of the situational abilities: Sunbeam, Stonra, Escape, Drink, Raging Fist.

If you want a quick bunch of Gil, you can run the 1*s through the chamber of experience to max them, and sell them for more. Personally I just sell anything I'm not actively trying to get a tm from

Spend tickets on whomever you want to, it doesnt always have to be the most sensible or practical option.

Things change.

Orlandu is coming super late compared to JP, and Tidus/Rikku are apparently soon (assuming Gumi doesn't push them back too), and both of those are very, very good.

We've gotten a bunch of global exclusive units that JP didn't, that shifts the power scale.

Even before all that, there were people saying that Orlandu was overkill, his banner was lovely and you should never chase a 5*.
