deathbagel posted:She's like ExDeath + AoE Atk/Def break, immunity to silence/paralyze/petrify, auto MP recovery, magical counter, ultima instead of Meteor and has the off elements instead of fire/ice. Oh, and she can wear all the normal mage gear. Her TM is also idiotic, it's like 30% MAG to people using Rods and 20% MAG to people wearing Robes. I dunno if she's worth whaling for tho, she's very good but I feel you'd rather have a strong physical 5* over a strong 5* mage.

I kinda just facetanked this entire event with my CoD/Refia/Cecil/Luneth/WoL team. Now I see the true power of DC Refia. (You need at least one off-healer, Esuna will get some play)

I can't quite fathom having the disposable income to shove $1500 into a gacha game in a single day instead of just eating and drinking expensive poo poo instead, or buying all the games. I guess gambling addiction is a bitch, huh.

Like, TMRs are a grind, but they can easily make a team end-game ready if you get the right ones (DW and DC, mostly). DW on a bunch of base 3* or 4* actually catches them up to Main DPS level, DC isn't as essential but it makes a Refia or a Cecil into these support beasts, and you'll have enough Shantottos to make your Dual Black Magic mates wreck poo poo. It's what makes going F2P somewhat viable even with the lovely gacha rates, and I'll take lovely rates if you don't feel SUPER gimped without dumping money at the game. Also chances are you'll draw a 5* base eventually if you keep pulling, and most 5* DPS are pretty beast.

My only TM is Dualcast and I've been able to beat all content so far (and I don't think I would've needed DC for most recent stuff, I didn't have that OR Refia around for Maxwell). Now, I did draw a Luneth, which is some special BS, but they're not required if you had SOME gacha luck.

cosmicprank posted:So, wait. I'm sorry. But I guess since this is my first game that has microtransactions, I'm a bit behind the curve on this. TMs make the events easier. Here's the thing, the story mode isn't the focus of these games, you're either trying to beat the newest event on the hardest mode or trying to do PvP bullshit. That's where the true difficulty lies, and getting a good TMR can make your team go from "struggling to defeat X boss" to "braindead run". Even then, you don't need to dump money to get enough TMRs to make your life easier if you have the mechanical knowledge and patience - however, that's the catch with these games, you gotta have that patience. "Whales" are basically big money gamblers, people that NEED to have all the strongest units and equipment. It's literally the same as gambling, you just keep rolling because "I can feel it coming, it's the next one, man". There's been plenty of gacha regulations in Japan and China because of that, since these games are basically paid for by those people and it's very easy to keep pulling the carrot away from them. It's also hard to tell when someone DOES have the cash to throw around like that or when they're just loving themselves over because of an addiction (it's one thing when a businessman goes to Vegas and throws away 15k on blackjack, and another when a 40k a year worker does the same thing). edit: there's also another insidious aspect that doesn't exist in regular gambling, the fact that other people can show you their new shiny toy. It's like rolling on a slot for this pretty golden necklace, and seeing other people with it makes you REALLY wanna have it even if you have a couple of similar ones sitting on your drawer.

cosmicprank posted:I still find it weird they'd add a thing that you don't need to really win. Seems like most of the game you just overkill if you have a good goon friend and not terrible units? Kinda, the hardest event content is a lot easier if you have TMs or top-tier units. I'm full F2P and can't see myself spending money on this game, and I've beaten all content so far with the current team: Luneth/Refia/CoD/Cecil/Vaan or WoL. That's two base 3*, two base 4* (rare, but not THAT rare) and a base 5* unit. The only TM I got unlocked is Dualcast (didn't grind a LOT for it, most of it was covered by free event moogles), but it already made quite a difference with Refia in this current event. Luneth is a real good pick, and if I hadn't gotten him, I'd probably need Dual Wield (Zidane's TMR) on a decent 6*-able unit (in my case, probably CoD, maybe Chizuru). You don't really NEED it if you get lucky with pulls, but a couple of them make a huge difference for your team (again, Dual Wield and Dualcast mainly). Again, the story is a breeze with mediocre units, but event content needs an actual solid team. Global makes it so that you can grind those TMRs with macros, so it's the whole patience thing again.

lol rainbow daily lol rainbow arc Oh well. EDIT: I threw some extra tickets on the banner because I wanted at least one Type-0 character for the event. I'm actually kinda happy at the results. 3* Firion (NEW) 4* Cheez 3* Rydia (whatever) 4* Seven I'll take that. Dias fucked around with this message at 12:43 on Jan 13, 2017 |

Shingouryu posted:Got lucky and pulled Seven on the daily. Is she good? Glancing at her move list she looks like Bedile 2.0. 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. Dias fucked around with this message at 14:13 on Jan 13, 2017 |

She might have her uses in Arena too, with a LB build-up buff, a 30% Sleep/Silence AoE and being a mage.

The Ariana event seems like a chill thing, you probably don't need to run it a lot to grind all the equip and awakening materials, plus you get Gigantaurs at near Cactuar Dunes rates so that's also cool.

Orlandu doesn't look like he needs a nerf considering how mobage games work. Plus, yeah, the only nerfed character was Noctis. Hell, I think most rebalancing stuff in Global were buffs.

I'm probably gonna have 100 tickets by the time the Orlandu banner comes out, which is kinda amazing. That's what happens when you only pull on meta-defining banners.

aherdofpenguins posted:I usually roll the half price dailies and sometimes use tickets, gambling that I would eventually get a Zidane. I don't have nearly 100 tickets, and I lost that gamble extremely hard I also have no Zidanes.  I rarely use tickets and I tend to buy the 300-350 crystal bundles instead of daily pulling when they're available to "stockpile", which is probably why I'm doing fine in that regard.

I didn't have much trouble with Nyan~ Beast either. Used my default team of Luneth (600 ATK), Cecil, Refia (DC, it helps but it's not needed), CoD and WoL with Noctis friends (one real buff one and a more acceptable 600+ ATK one). Strat was keeping all buffs up (Focus, Embolden, Omniveil), WoL spamming Full Break and just doing DPS stuff. Dude has so much health it's hard to not fill up bars. I think if you have an event-capable team and Nian is getting you down, you're probably either neglecting your elemental resistances/SPR buffing or not auto-attacking during Preparation. Try to overkill the thing with items, LBs and espers, just whittle him down to very low health and activate poo poo as fast as possible (Esper, LBs, then item), possibly while one of the DPSs use regular attacks. I got item and LB the first time around, then had to come back for the Esper. Now I just need to do the previous level, I didn't expect the Beast to melt as fast as it did first time around.

Cartoon Man posted:Anybody get Nintendo's Fire Emblem gacha game that came out today? I have no desire to get it, but I'm curious how it compares to FFBE's gacha. I tried it out, although it apparently doesn't work long-term with Nox. Gacha rates are better (6% for a banner 5*, with odds increasing the more you pull), and since it just came out it felt like rerolling didn't really matter. Combat is a simplified version of FE combat, maps are very small and for as long as I played it didn't have any deep nuances to it. I dunno, it feels solid, like FFRK.

If you're in doubt, check Exvius Wiki, but yeah, usually the only things considered "magic" damage are traditional FF spells or abilities by pure magic units. Anyway, I just kinda need to plot out a course of action for this event. I'm not enjoying it too much, to be fair. Too many levels, candy seems somewhat spare and the one item you wanna buy with it costs 50k.

KataraniSword posted:Nope, just the traditional FF spells. If something says you need to kill a boss with magic, things like Wicked Light (Exdeath) or Dystopia (Dark Fina) will not count. That said, since most of the solid mage units have some variant of dualcast, just use that as your watermark. If it can be dualcasted, it counts. Huh, now that I think of it there's no "kill with magic DAMAGE" missions, it's always just plain "magic".

I didn't bring CoD and brought Exdeath instead. Eh, should be fine anyway. <five minutes later> holy poo poo holy gently caress everyone's dead and on fire help Fenrir Noctis and Refia carried the team tho. Refia buff as gently caress tanked more poo poo than Cecil.

Nuebot posted:But were you using an 800+ noctis friend? Because a lot of people forget that one. Half the "F2P NO TM!!!!" guides for the event basically boiled down to "get a high level noctis, use your dual cast refia and level 100 cecil". I still can't get past the second boss of the drat thing because I just don't have the damage to do it, not even if I use a high level noctis. I feel like it might be doable without DC if you're better at having resistances up (and get lucky with the deaths) but yeah, this might be the biggest wall since Maxwell. Unfortunately every gacha game lands on this "you CAN do it f2p you just need this specific shell and a good friend/top unit you should've rerolled for".
