Tengames posted:So the banner characters for this event are a elemental resistance buff caster against enemies who ignore elements and just cast instant death. a guy with draw attacks who will draw said instant death, a healer who can't revive people who die to said instant death, and a tank that casts ice and wind magic against an enemy with 80% resist to ice and wind magic. GJ gumi. Having all three boxes target Medius with death is actually a plus.

Either way the rankings are hilarious because there is no way that they are worth it given people already dropping like a hundred buckos on day 1 on energy refreshes.

Tagichatn posted:Why are people going all in this week? Shouldn't next week be more efficient? I guess it'd be worth it if you get near a breakpoint for rank but I doubt I'll go over the 12k points necessary for the moogle. At least in other farm events you could spend excess gears or whatever on mats or sell them. Do we know if the rates are going up? Cause if they are I'll abandon this and start grinding my tms

Its a better idea than wasting it on a roll with the usual suspects. Plus whenever the dunes return, you'll be ready to horde them for when a new character comes out that you want

PaybackJack posted:According to the schedule we should have Dark Fina next from 1/6 to 1/13, then see Orlandu 1/14 to 1/21. Something from 1/21-1/28. Starting on 1/28 I'm guessing we'll have a special Chinese New Year event, that's my speculation based on the Taiwanese/Singaporean/Chinese(?) interest in the game. They should do a greatest hits version of a banner for the lunar new year given that it is the auspicious rooster/chocobo year. If they do orlandu and dark fina and they already have refia and noctis then you just need to get WoL to 6* between those banners to have a roster of best in class characters. Orlandu is the best physical attacker, Dark Fina is the best magician, Refia is one of the best healers outside of limited units, WoL is the best tank and noctis is the best jack of all trades.

Dial-a-Dog posted:If you can grind out two battles a minute (about the rate I get the TM macro from Reddit), with constant refilling, you're looking at around 3.5 days of grinding to fill a TM from 0 to 100. The exact lapis spend depends on your rank, but it's probably around 8-9000 to do that Jesus christ I honestly would be tempted to but with such a low rank it would be a massive waste.

Cartoon Man posted:So I see that we are getting a new frosty elite fight, but I don't understand what the point is? Are they adding on to the loot table for individual rewards? All I see is a new snowflake looking item that boosts ice and wind resistance for three turns. That sounds like a consumable. If you get one of those per clear, I guess I'll farm up five or so, but meh... Im guessing it has a higher point ratio as well as rank/nrg so that people can finish the event. This weekend everyones going to be in the dunes though

Armitage posted:I know I will, just awoken Exdeath to 6* and he is hungry for metal gigantaurs and max 4* units. Unfortunately I think my pulls have peaked at 4 Exdeaths and 2 Chizurus so I think I'm saving my lapis for TM farming Against my better judgement I burned two tickets on the noctis banner and got a chizuru as well so now im pretty set for a strong physical damage team. So I need a ton of gigantuars. Threw a wrench at my TM plans since now Im not going to bother gearing up my CoD till I get chorizo and mercedes geared. And even when I get cheez fully leveled, Im going to need another 80+ giganuars for when WoL gets his 6*. Which is sooner rather than later

Why does this dyer guy keep spending money on refreshes to run frosty right now? Does he gain anything? He has amost a 4/1 advantage, there is no way the 2nd place is going to catch up e- Also after getting this loving gun for this event, its incredibly stupid that Medius didnt get dual guns. Even with dual guns he would still be less powerful than the other FFBE gunner unit because his skills still suck and he still has draw attacks.

MP up would be really good on units with refresh that burn through tons of mp per cast. I'm keeping my telaths just for my tilith. Because if you can get her over 500mp she will recover most of her mp each turn regardless of what she casts. Also will a materia that grand double hand stack in global when your character already has double hand like for Garland? I smooshed my buttz together because having 3 dw already sort of limits the use of double hand but I might have kept another one if that was the case.

HGH posted:Should I be dumping MPs up on Tilith in anticipation of future events? Tiliths healing toolkit cannot be trumped because its raw 100% aoe healing and rezzing, she also has the highest threat reduction passive and pretty drat good support. The only thing her kit lacks is auto rezzing. And she does all of this without enhancements, so if she ever gets powercreeped they can bring her back up with those. You cannot go wrong with dumping mp on her. Id argue that dumping spr isnt needed though, because her heal bombs are 100% anyways

I think the only samurais worth a drat are Chorizo and Laswell 6* anyways. People are using sakurafubuki + blade mastery on Lightning because its the best thing she has right now, but in the future she really needs a lightning based great sword because raw damage can only get you so far. You need to bypass the poo poo tons of armor mobs get.

Vexrm posted:So I did back of the envelope math to get a ballpark of how much Dyer, the whale in the lead of the raid, has spent. I know of no better way to check my math than post it publicly to be torn apart by goons. I think something is wrong with your math. Assume that the dude had 900k point before lord frost the ultimate arrived. Total Points/points per run = total runs so 900k/160 = 5625 runs. Total Runs x Energy per run = total energy spent so 5625 * 20 = 112,500 energy spent total. Energy gained by time is negligible so Total Energy/ Energy per refresh = Amount of times refreshed so 112,500/135 = 833.33. And finally that * 100 = total lapiz spent, so Its over 83k lapis spent.

KataraniSword posted:Rem has a niche as Arena Queen mostly because she has an AoE Osmose. As far as raw damage-per-turn, Dark Fina is top of the mountain, which in turn makes her one of the few mages worth taking around outside of Arena, too. Yeah if you are just looking at ra damage dark fina, trance terra and victoria are some of the hardest hitting mages.

The biggest advantage with magician units is that they are self contained. They barely need gear to blow poo poo up and get you through all the games content. In contrast physical units need a whole lot more tms and enhancements to get where they are. e- Honestly, if you have the gil for it and already have a pair Agriases (Agriaii?), then she can do just about as good a job as a single DW orlandu if you get her enhancements. The only issue is that she doesn't have the mp sustain or innate status resists that Orlandu has. In instead you get a tankier unit that can cover each other and other female units and have curaja.

Alternately, she has dual ability and has a passive that gives her +200% every stat, but only triggers when she casts thundaga blade and holy blade both of which she doesn't innately have.

Cartoon Man posted:Luka will probably rank in second to Refia on the healer list. She's lacking full raise and Refia's built immunity to most status effects, but otherwise is very solid. Like Refia, get her a dualcast and she becomes elite. It wont. Its exactly the same as Tilith. She's a better healer than all of the none 6* healers right now and better than none dual casting santa roselia and refia, but she lags behind some of the stronger healers. Specially those that can make use of dual cast better, or the insane healing units like Tilith 6*s. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Jan 4, 2017 |
