I'm actually enjoying this event. Ling, Ace and Nine are capable of trioing ELT, so I just bring whatever gets me the most phantoma in the other three slots. Getting nearly 1000 per ELT run without praying for Rabites is a quality of life improvement over the Mana event. The overall cost of items is lower as well, so I'll probably have time to clear out the awakening mats for Warrior of Light and Garland's 6* upgrades in a week or two.

Meanwhile some of us can't get the event units from the banner because the gacha taketh, and the gacha taketh

I'm going to have him do an 11 for me. I expect Bedile x10 and another Delita. Maybe a Shadow, too.

Can you legitimately ask why all currently released FFVI characters are garbage and follow up with will they ever be good in the future?

Celes not having a 6* awakening is loving criminal.

That you can't suplex trains and bum rush everything to death is the real crime.

That the one knight who's name escapes me because he's terrible is also bad in this game is canonical.

So while my on banner luck remains below statistically predicted, I finally drew Yshtola off the Ifrit banner and had enough moogles exactly to TM her. Neat I guess but come on Gumi, let me get event bonus characters.

They really need to make it so awakening your bonus units increases their bonus to some degree.

Would that be a net gain in currency though? Like, you'd have to spend all the limited awakening materials on awakening those lovely bonus units and you're left with the 560 currency materials if you want to stock up.

3->4 and 4->5 don't cost limited anything. And if they went to 60-65% and 85-90% it would be a decent boost. Plus, you know, encourage you to level up and try out the event units.

Counterpoint: I pulled a Shadow today.

I'm back in after quitting for a bit, since there was an FF6 event. Got myself a Trance Terra and fished up enough stuff to get her, Cecil, Terra, and Firion to 6*. Had I known I was going to get a Trance Terra, I'd have done Kefka, but I'll do him next time.

What should I be doing? Mostly just work my way through the story to get better gear? I'm still on the first island, story-wise.

I got Bediled today and heavily considered uninstalling. What a system, the gacha.

ToonMan, I love your Marie. She's gotten me so close to beating the new trial. I can reliably get to the point where the rear end in a top hat dragon Megaflares every two or three turns and it's game over for me. Maybe I'll get lucky and manage to damage the stupid thing enough to make it stop loving me over.

Meanwhile I tried to use his Marie and despite buffing spirit, using the resist all, and trying to defend everyone took almost 6k damage except my Yshtola who took 10k. Good fight would play again.

Hopefully someone makes a solo capable character or finds an exploit because this is dumb.

What is your Arena team?

How far along in the single player are you?

For a while I used a character with Dual Wield and Barrage with the Golem Staff, but now I chain Ultimas with Trance Terra and Dark Fina, with Ling inflicting status effects or breaking.

You could get a similar result with the aforementioned Golem Staff strategy and some mages to chain -aga spells. You'll hit the damage cap pretty quickly. This is also the strategy I used to clear the Colosseum before I had any overpowered units.

As long as you go first, you should be fine.


Same.

I wish the raid Gacha had a chance for actual units and not just Trust Moogles...

Also converting unit specific moogles to regular, good moogles comes when?

Trick the system by throwing away one of the TM moogles for the unit you want. Results guaranteed to disappoint

I didn't realize the lightning resist and brother a friend olive to get the limit break kill, only to have her lb just so almost nothing. Did most of the damage with Noctis and then the mortar finished it off and somehow gave me the lb kill anyways. Was weird.

On that note, however, I'm pretty happy with how my Noctis is coming along. High 600s atk, does a good amount of damage now, particularly if I have minfilia to buff. Will never be equal to one of the really good damage dealers, but still nice.

They really ought to give Noctis his full JP powers at this point since Cid came out and they got all that cash raked in.

They just sent out a big warning about using bots a week or so ago. Gumi might work the gatcha, or overprice their content to trap whales, and require ridiculous amounts of grinding for certain aspect of the game, but when it comes to compensation they usually go over what they need to do.

This bot fiasco is obvious and it will reward everyone with at least some summon tickets/lapis on top of whatever you get it if they actually fix the rankings.

I'll reiterate this, and also my hope that this happens every raid event going forward
