i hit a triple metal god mission today with Seria/Maxwell/Elza and it was 11k karma and if that happens again maybe i will actually buy the trust moogle. as i am down to 4k lapis at the moment i have temporarily stopped half price pulls, sadly, since this month is a very lapis light month and i just want to make sure i have at least 5k for orlandu

you get holy crystals by trying to get sacred crystals instead. you get sacred crystals in the 10 energy intermediate vortex, except i've actually had a lot more success in the 20 energy version. that typically splits between holy and sacred but its extremely rare i dont average at least 1 sacred crystal per 10 energy, and its extremely rare that i do average that in the intermediate map.

it might be easier to kill Maxwell with a buff CoD, the big single target damage nuke wrecks her hard

i got the three metal gods fight three times today while doing maybe ten total runs of the event, and got 46k karma today without really trying that hard. as it turns out 33k for three fights is Pretty Good

i think 6* bartz ends up as kind of a weird hybrid wind attacker? he seems pretty good but not outstanding. if i only had the resources for one i'd probably pick exdeath but if he's your only 6* capable physical attacker i guess i'd lean bartz.

So I wasn't super stoked about BUTTZ 6* until I noticed his ludicrous combo with Refia. He can sacrifice himself to fully restore someones hp/mp, and then you can just full life him. Hello always on elixir.

ive been running Maxwell on my explorations to level her up a little and i don't know exactly whether or not she's worth anything as a 5* but i can say that her limit burst recharges everything and its not uncommon for her to give herself 40-50% of a bar off her own lb

just wait for the FF5 banner thats coming up on friday, farris looks like a good full break unit, buttz can be a primary mage or physical unit, and gilgamesh looks fun!

I put one on my Cecil and one on my Cloud, because my cloud is hilarious and her going super saiyan at low health just makes it more hilarious. If only she wasn't vulnerable to Raise.

I've never had anyone use Raise offensively on me in Arena :confused:

almost every unit in the game is useless not at max level. like a 3* exdeath can't really do anything at all, i am pretty sure he doesn't get elemental spells until 4* even.

With the new ratings Exdeath having a 19 overall rating makes him the strongest unit in the game, while Krile is pulling a solid 15.5, both units leaving Lightning and Luneth in the dust

if i got a vaan i could chill on trying to pull 5* base characters and not feel so bad. my roster is OKAY but i don't have a single actually great unit, like redia/cecil/cod/exdeath is all right but there's no serious firepower in there

edit: like i could farm four excaliburs but why am i even farming two :I

I put all mine on Refia.

This is also what I do, and since she's already wearing two muscle belts its nice to have a somewhat beefy Refia. Still no 5k health like some I've seen, but beefy.

i actually want to play this game and need to collect some of the lapis from completing the achievements in the zones and i still need carbuncle but also i am 2% away from my first dualcast and its driving me loving nuts to not grind it out immediately

also i don't know what to do with my new trust moogle now that i am tm grinding. should i use it to boost one of the things im grinding up. doublehand? blade mastery? take excalibur from 20-30%?
