I wish BE had that visit feature some gacha games have, so that I could purge pubbies more effectively. I can never tell which idiots have good units but don't know about the fixed leader feature and which ones just have bad units and deserve to be deleted.

Wait, isn't Gilgamesh supposed to come considerably later because he's a stupid pain in the rear end?

Anyway, now I get to decide between making Exdeath or Refia next. Probably Exdeath. Ugh, there's so much poo poo to level and no time at all.

You mean the 10 million hp robot, with 4 million hp arms, where if you kill the Right Arm twice it explodes and wipes you, but if you don't kill the Right Arm it heals the main Body in 500k hp increments. Oh and the Left Arm single targets your highest ATK character with a 1000% physical hit repeatedly throughout the fight.

Good times, good times.

That sounds...like a thing.

Does it also make whaling noises when it beats you while popups for 100k Lapis packages try and interfere with your menuing?

gently caress off, stupid game, I run 200% karma gain all the time and the one time I need to pick a lesser boost you give me metal gods. You're garbage and I hate you and I'm glad this event will be over and I'll bitch about Gilgamesh instead.

edit: on the flip side my Cecil has 6.2k health now and auto-boosts below 50% HP.

Oh poo poo now krile. Should I replace either Arc or Refia?

Nah. Krile is a decent flex unit at 5*, but Arc and Refia are way better at their specific roles. If you wanna go in a more mage-centric route you could do Krile instead of Kain, but eh, you got Embolden in Refia.

I forgot TENT, used a bunch of Elixirs and Ethers but whatever, one and done. Now I can do other productive poo poo like TM farming.

edit: also despite my daily being stupid 4* Edgar, I decided to do a ticket pull and got Butz - which is pretty much what I kinda wanted from this banner anyway.

Full Break and actual decent damage output.

So, uh, I had some lapis saved and wanted to take my chances at a Gilgamesh and, thus, dual wield. I have a Luneth and a Lightning, I've been lucky as hell already, but why not shoot for the moon! Did an eleven pull. It sucked. Did another eleven pull. Garbage. Out of lapis. Angrily looked at the store, noticed the $50 lapis purchase includes more than usual for right now, so gently caress it. Did an eleven pull.

:monocle: Four (FOUR!) rainbow crystals. I am now the proud owner of another Luneth, Ramza (did not have him!), Faris (ehhh), and Gilgamesh! :monocle: I should have screenshotted it, but I am a moron who doesn't know how to take one!

I found the No Lapis macro, it wasn't on the original thread. Back to the grind, 70% Dualcast on its way.


Mrit SA posted:

I'm finding that you need 2 Curaja casters and 1 Cura caster for the new trials/bosses. I use Cecil/Refia/Agrias for healing/tanking/full break and slot in other dps when needed. I used Bartz(mana battery and Barrage) and CoD(amazing human damage).

I think double tank/support and full-time healer is the setup we're gonna need to aim for unless we're whales. Something like WoL/Cecil/Refia or Tilith is gonna be really good, then the other two slots can be DPS, and your friend is DPS too.

Might be worth it if you're trying to pump up some units. The main issue is running out of MP on fights but maybe you can even full Auto it.

Yeah, just go max your team, maybe run Bridge ADV with a buff-rear end 6* friend, get everyone somewhat up to speed and you'll just smash him. Your team should be able to easily do it, just not if it's underleveled.

Don't forget that "Collect 200 event currency" is a daily.

So seriously, gently caress you, Gumi.

At least that matches up with the Vortex quest, it's 2 or 3 runs if you get unlucky.

Also this is the easiest event we've had in a while, I'd say since FFT. It's garbage, but if you're new you can probably grab a strong friend (one of those buff Exdeaths would be ideal) and mage chain your way thru ELT.

I sitll think you guys are complaining about the wrong thing here because the way I see it it's 5 free Lapis. Most of the time you have a vortex quest to do anyway and even if you only bother with materials you're gonna be clearing the quest every day. :shrug:

I'm just hoping for a week 2 Lightning bonus on the banner, because then I can both make these runs way easier and get some extra rewards too.

Noctis looks like an amazing support unit. 100% chance to tank hits with a 20% chance of negating all physical damage (and then 30% of countering and healing himself); a Regen-like ability (but better) that also refreshes MP; a Full Raise; a Jump that restores HP and MP; an attack buff and debuffs to every stat except MAG; AND he gets an attack with Stop.

His main weakness is that his elemental abilities seem to be hybrid damage (although his equip passives let him build himself for that sort of poo poo), but his toolset is STUPID.
