How are you supposed to grind TM on the phone? The process is unbearably slow. Like how the gently caress is this a good idea

Did one more ticket pull on the BF banner, blue crystal turned gold!



...Shadow. :suicide:

This is gold crystal #5 or 6 in a row that gave a 4* max trash unit.

In contrast I've been getting shadowned, shantotoed, clyned and lanied all of BF banner and I've refused to roll on the shadow one. So I did one last desperation ticket and it turns out gold. I close my eyes and wait to get this last one shadow to top it off and its TILITH!

I've got the making of an incredibly powerful team once Agrias, WoL, Tilith get their *6

Hex strike applies 3 random status effects. It also skips status effects the target is immune to. So if a target is vulnerable only to paralyze, silence, and sleep, those status effects are always applied. Always. Even if it is at 90% resist.
It's badly coded and no other ability in the game works like it. It is how you farm bosses that have any status vulnerability.

Isn't Firion top 10 in JP? So I guess he will be pretty decent once his 6* and enhancements hit.

He's among the highest rated units and easily the highest rated base 3 star. But you need at least dual wield for him not to be an average 6. And you need a whole lot more for him to rank among the highest.

Do casted stat boosts stack? Like if I use noctis damage boost and tilitha will they stack or simply replace the previous one? I don't know if I really need noctis if I'm running a tilith and a eventually a 6 WOL.

So Im not expecting noctis on my daily pulls from now till this banner ends and I have a bunch of cactuars left. I have a physical team right now. I have a 4* butz and a mercedes, no real gear for either but I can grind a wind fist for butz and mercedes ax for herself. If im saving my only dual wield for COD, which unit should I invest my cactuars and tm farm group priority in?

I hope agrias gets her 6* on the same banner orlandu comes out, so I can just triple agrias it up.

Cao Ni Ma
May 25, 2010



The powercreep units really are leagues ahead of some of the other units but a lot of the 6* awakenings turn some of the older, less useful or niche units into respectable ones. There are plenty of strong budget units, just gotta wait till they get their awakenings.

Any reason to get Cerius or Medius leveled up for this raid?

Im leveling Medius on the remote chance his 6* has something inherently broken the global balance dudes didn't capture. Its not like I can get my Mercedes to 6* to burn all these gigantuars on given how hard it is to get rainbow weeds from it.

I've actually gotten a decent (not amazing) rate on Rainbow Blooms, I feel like they're the third most common 6* mat (behind Calamity Gems and Divine Crystals). Might just be personal experience though.

The most Ive gotten are fairy writs and calamity gems followed by the other writ. Ive only gotten like 4 blooms so far.

My daily is another mercedes. I cant believe Ive only been charlotted once this banner and the thing keeps handing mercedes like candy. My ticket comes out a 5* oh poo poo could it be, the prince finally shows up!? Nope, a loving 5* Zidane of all things. Ive never ben so conflicted.

Daily: Agrias

Well, since she is 97/100 on that latest Altema update being top 8 and basically a mini-Orlandu I'm certainly not complaining.

Best thing about agrias is that you dont NEED an orlandu yourself to cause massive havock on mobs. Say you have two modestly geared agrias and a turbo whale friend orlandu, thats it youve trivialized most content because the two agrias whipping out their holy explosions and your friend orlandu using his will completely shred things from the chain. Plus she has full break, protectaga and curaja

drat I really need at least two cecils. The bastard keeps eluding me and I really want an excalibur for when she gets her 6*

To be fair, Cerius is really good at it; CoD's are 30%, Cerius' are 70%. Of course not being able to do anything else just hurts her. If she'd gotten Cheer or Focus or something.

Cerius is a poor mans Minfilia. Which is doubly weird given that Minfilia is free from an event if you farm enough points.

Is Cheezo currently better than CoD for damage with no TMs? I like having CoD around for Omni-Veil and Thundaga, but I have a max Chizuru hanging around doing nothing. (Main party is Agrias/Cecil/Refia/ExDeath/CoD, mage/arena is Arc/Cecil/Tellah/ExDeath/CoD).

Also, what characters should I work on leveling for situational reasons? I'm working on Bartz and Rydia (for summoning objectives) and I have Kain, four more ExDeaths, Black Cat Lid, two more CoDs, one more Cheeto, three Kriles, Hope, Firion...I may never have drawn a base five, but at least I'm solid for everything else? :v:


Im guessing cheez is better if all you are looking at is damage. CoD gets an improved human killer that could end up doing a whole lot more damage against other humans though. But Cheez can penetrate armor with her attacks which is pretty important. CoD has a poo poo ton of utility though, if you are missing a Tilith or something like her.

Unrelated question. How does firions weapon wield abilities work? Do I need to mix weapon types to get bonuses? Like say if I give him two axes does he get 60% damage or must it me an axe and a spear/knuckle? Im thinking of turning my mercedes into my monster dps unit and was going to grind two of her axes out but looking ahead an axe and a save the queen might be better if I decide to switch over her stuff to firion once he gets 6*

I dont think there can be powercreep in regards to healing when something like Tilith has existed for so long but god drat gumi is trying. The new MH Fina is a damage healing hybrid with 100% revive, 80% auto revive, AoE heal+esuna like tilith, st 30%hp/30%mp refresh, built in 30% physical dodge, kill almost all passive that gives her an extra 25% damage on a bunch of monster types, a 400% damage nuke, and 60% extra SPR when equipping a bow among other less noteworthy things. Nothing can really outdo a unit that has 100% aoe heals and 100% aoe revives but a unit like this can fit into particular groups pretty drat well.

Who do you have built out of your units? I see CoD, Refia, Agrias, Cheez and ExDeath on your lists, that's a pretty decent team if they're all maxed, definitely enough to get past ADV at the very least.

Beginner pushed my poo poo in harder than pro because I seriously wasn't expecting the deaths. But now I just debuff them with double breakers and let the friend unit wreck them in a turn before moving in to the frosty. I really really wish WoL had his 6* already for this event. Would make things so much easier for me.
