I posted in the last thread that I wished I could watch other teams fight my Kefka/Exdeath equipped with Ultima and Meteor respectively. Like a day after I posted that I ran into the exact same setup on an enemy team, and it was a hilariously unpleasant surprise

I'm glad Exdeath finally gets to ascend his throne of being best mage, I've been waiting since release for this. I don't know what I'm gonna do with this meteor materia now though, I guess I can give it to Tellah or second Kefka

Exdeath has a good limit burst, but it has very little to do with his utility. I wouldn't recommend holding him back just to level it up, since getting him to 6* makes him the best mage in the game at this point

Yeah, it rules when Exdeath's LB goes off on a boss and totally cripples them, but more and more content is resisting those debuffs, and it's hard to count on actually having it when you need it anyway. Plus at six star he's probably more useful making GBS threads out damage with dualcast anyway

I forgot the 70K reward was 15% MAG, I thought it was the moogle. Anyway, long story short, after getting Maxwell and ticket pulling Seriah, my team of BCLid/Kefka/Maxwell/Karl/Seria with friend Elzas ran into two 3x metal gods over the last few days and now I have everything I could want from this event. Holy poo poo did it suck when this started, but man was it easy to max out with the event units. Now I can either ignore the event or start stockpiling 6* mats, I'm not sure which I'd rather do

aherdofpenguins posted:Looking at the FF5 units I was kind of excited to maybe get a unit with Full Break, Faris, but she's garbage tier according to the Japanese tier lists. And Bartz is only mediocre. Worth rolling for Gilgamesh and Exdeath still? Exdeath is a 3* base, so you've got a pretty decent chance at him, I would say yes, especially since he's gonna rule with his 6* abilities. Plus, if you don't have a full breaker at all, even a trash tier one is useful

Not incredibly lucky, but Exdeath and CoD both just got their 6* forms and they're both top tier characters, so pretty good and definitely OK to go without rerolling

Healing being banned is ridiculous for the arena, at least I've got enough TMs that my Exdeath/Kefka/Tellah combo can drop 3 meteors and 2 ultimas in a round though. Just need to make it to that round

I think it got mentioned earlier that Maxwell's passive ability to regenerate 1800 health every round was broken. Well, it's working now, I haven't had a lot of chance to see him at work in the arena, but I imagine it'll be helpful with this week's ban on healing edit: rio posted:Edit2 Sorry for all the questions! I can only use the Adv Experience dungeon - it looks like there is room for another difficulty but how do I unlock it if there is one?

It lasts forever, it does not stack but if a buff overwrites it it comes back after the buff wears off, and I'm pretty sure it can be dispelled, in which case you'd need to drop under 50% to reapply it again

m.hache posted:So seeing as how we are getting nerfs in global (no double hand stacking) are the trials going to be tuned accordingly? I can't see why they would be, Maxwell came in the same as the one in JP from what I understand, and over there they had more powerful characters to deal with her when their event happened

Chen Kenichi posted:Definitely better off getting certain things first like Provoke from Golem, and Man-eater/Demon Killer from Diabolos. Getting even one very powered up character is much better than having 5 good-to-great ones. This is probably one of the best pieces of advice for a new player. One really good character can pull you through a tremendous amount of content. Maxing out a CoD or an Exdeath will pretty much let you carry around a party of losers through 90% of the content

Exdeath & pals dumping magic is half of my arena strategy. The other half is cleaning up stragglers with CoD

It sucks that they're probably doing this bonus unit thing for all the future collection events, but at the very least this one has a 3* base unit on it, so you can just grab a Sazh or two to make the grind bearable. The BF event's units were all 4* and up

dangerous.hotdog posted:It's a known issue with the latest FFBE client (people are thinking it's a memory issue). Yeah, since the mission update, i think, this has been happening for me too. The "Ultimate TM" macros both seem to do fine at automatically recovering if you put Exvius in the center spot of your screen and clear everything else off to a corner folder. I tried using Nox before this with an AHK script that would start the game back up if it crashed, but at least for me Nox itself freezes after a while so that didn't really work as a substitute. I think Memu has crashed completely once so far over the last couple weeks

Yeah but why bother rigging the odds when you can just have terrible odds for everyone and people still pay you for it. Similarly, why bother with a completion gacha in countries where they aren't against the law when you can just give the chase characters the same horrible odds as you would've had for pulling all the completion characters

KataraniSword posted:I missed this before but isn't that technically what Trust Mastery was intended as? They only added the "10% chance of .1%" and trust moogles later, as some sort of bullied concession. I don't know about the grind chance coming later in JP, but it was always in global. Trust moogles might've been the result of complaints. The TMRs probably are closer to skirting completion gacha laws in Japan, considering they ban for macroing from what I've heard, so it's either moogles or duplicates for most of their trust gain

rio posted:So with that extremely low rate for Orrandu is it even worth saving tickets for it or should I blow them trying to get a lightning? I don't have a lightning so unless her rates are also abysmally low then I think I should spend my saved tickets on her...although I'm sure I'll just get Bediled either way. I don't think the rates for Orlandu are actually anything worse than the usual five star banner rates, they're just god awful generally, because you not only have to pull a five star crystal, you have to roll that character from the entire pool of characters once you have. The banner just makes your chances slightly higher of hitting that character if you do get a 5* is all. So I guess what I'm saying is your luck will be abysmal either way, but Orlandu's the superior character, so

I blew 7 tickets on the banner to try and get another FF13 character to give the event another shot now that they upped the drop rate. It took all 7 to get a Fang, but at least on the way I got my first ever Chizuru and a fourth Cecil. I don't think I will need 4 Excaliburs, so I ground him up and fed him to my 95.6% main Cecil just to free the spot and put another Ingus in my grinder group. Just a month or two to go till I can run optimized L&A Exdeath oh boy The event is actually better now, I don't hate it nearly as much as I did when it started. Upped drops, Lightning's bonus, and my CoD having dual wield makes the whole thing a million times less painful than it was when it started Edit: My other pulls weren't super great, but not terrible either, from memory/sorting my unit list: Krile Cyan Cerius Chizuru Cecil Roselia Fang Edit2: I also literally just noticed they changed the daily quests so you only need to do 5 out of the 6 to get the daily lapis reward. Man, I would've still bothered doing dailies if that'd been the case when the event started Dial-a-Dog fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Dec 10, 2016 |

Evil Fluffy posted:So Noctis's TMR gives the wearer Death, Holy, and some other ability? That seems neat for the arena I guess, unless alterna is some face wrecking damage ability in which case I've never heard of it so I looked it up on a final fantasy wiki and it's apparently: "Alterna is a Ring Magic exclusive to Final Fantasy XV and is obtainable during Noctis' travels in the capital of Niflheim, Gralea. It casts a spell that expells an entire horde of enemies to the void at the cost of spending all MP." So I would assume it's something absurd like group death or another Ultima variant like Wicked Light

One or two TMs can make the difference between a unit being pretty good and being facewrecking god-tier. 6* CoD was alright when I got him, after I put dual wield on him he was the only real unit I needed to bring to clear the FFXIII event with a lightning friend. One dualcast turns Refia from great healer to "Unless she gets taken out mid round, your team is never going to die"

Cartoon Man posted:Reddit is having a meltdown over this banner. Lots of rage quits and autism over the gatcha. Maybe there'll be enough of a (whale) community outcry over this to get the guaranteed crystal quality update sooner, but Exvius is at #18 in the top grossing play store charts so probably not. It wouldn't surprise me if Gumi delays that particular improvement to whenever they fall below, I don't know, 50 on that particular metric. There's really no incentive for them to improve their awful gacha as long as people are still dumping money into it
