Reposting from last thread because I think it got swallowed up - is there a reason to do Arena as a newbie? I thought the first 5 fights a day would give you lapis win or lose but I haven't been getting rewards the past couple of days.

The rewards should show up in your inbox, where you have to collect them--if they're not there, put in a help ticket. There's also the weekly rewards depending on your ranking, which no one has received yet.

Faris looks like a weak breaker. Better than Vaan in some ways, but probably not worth chasing by the looks of it.

Yes, but Faris is the best and I want her even if she's warming the bench.

Well, I'm sure I'll pick her up while chasing Gilgamesh anyway.

Regarding mildly less bullshit content, I'm still having trouble with ELT Greg v.2. Which 4* should I prioritize leveling?

Agrias (replacing Ingus)
Refias (replacing Lenna)
Exdeath (replacing Arc)

My other two are Cecil and CoD.

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:

Not just you, bud. I've been playing from the start and my only 5* crystal was Amarant. I'm looking forward to unloading on the Orlandu event with probability on my side. And yes, I know it doesn't work that way but give me something to hope for.

Yeah, I've fought oodles of arena teams with no base 5*s (going for the low-hanging fruit since I don't have one either). I think Benthalus is way overestimating how many people have them.

I had long ago decided not to chase Orlandeau, so I splurged on two 11-pulls and all my 30-something tickets in an attempt to get my faves Noct and Greg. I got a rainbow! Marie. I can't complain too much, but this is the second time I've failed at whaling for Greg. :negative:

I also managed to pull two Y'shtolas. Is there a reason to keep two if I have DC Refia?

Whaled and spent all my tickets and most of my lapis chasing Noct and Greg, got Marie.
Spent every King Mog ticket and all dailies on FFT banner, got no banner units.
Got Fran and Elle and some other junk on this banner so far.

My second 5* base isn't the absolute worst pull, but all the trash on FFT was pretty disheartening.

New characters on the JP side this week are Yuna, Lulu and Seymour. Wakka gets a bump from 5* to 6*. Yuna fills the role of 5* God unit.



- Yuna (5*/6*) is best classified as a Support/Magical DPS that can also heal in a pinch. She's got a unique gimmick, in that she can use half of a summon gauge to call upon Valefor for massive damage (9x AoE or 20x single). She also has Eiko/Garnet's "summon any equipped esper" ability and the biggest boost to summon damage and gauge generation of any character to date. Her healing and support suite includes Curaja, Barfiraga, Barthundaga, Barwaterga, Barblizzaga, Protectga, Shellga, Esuna, Dispel, Raise and Reraise. Limit break is an AoE Raise + 100% heal + regen + wall effect (defense up 80%/spirit up 100%). Pretty drat powerful, though she doesn't have Arise or Dualcast. TM is Nirvana (116 SPR, 68 MAG, auto-limit)

- Lulu (5*/6*) is basically a Shantotto-type, with Firaja/Waterja/Thundaja/Blizzaja and the Flare/Flood spells. She also has auto-refresh, can doublecast black and has the Focus ability. One of the strongest mages to date, and fairly versatile with 4 elements.TM is an Onion Knight Doll (120 MAG, MP+20%, auto-faith), counts as a rod.

- Seymour (4*/6*) is your boilerplate double black -ga mage with a few darkness-based moves on top. His spell suite is Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, Waterga, Darkga, plus he can sacrifice his own HP to deal damage and sacrifice his defense to deal additional dark damage. He also has summon boosts, putting him on par with a character like Terra or Rydia. His TM is Teachings of Yevon, which boosts summon stats by 10% and HP/MP+15%. Nothing to phone home about, unless you want to boost Bahamut (great for Yuna).

- Wakka gets a 6* upgrade and gains Element Reels (damage with a random Fire/Ice/Water/Lightning element), Status Reels (AoE damage and random status effects - can be a -40% to any stat or any status ailment in the book) and, after using a Terra-esque charge move, Auroch Reels (still not sure on this one). Overall, pretty meh for a 6*, and Setzer heavily outclasses him. His TM is Over the Top (117 ATK throwing weapon).

Who do we have to kill to get Auron?
