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.

It's almost worth doing all of the colosseum first. There's some solid rewards and lapis in there to collect.

FFV banner announced this morning.

Got 2 Bartz to 6*. Hope I can pull an Exdeath or two with daily pulls.

Also that sweet CoD mace. Hope the trial isn't complete BS.

Debating doing an 11 pull on the next event just to get an Exdeath.

I've traditionally have had a very strong mage team but with Exdeaths 6* coming I could easily pull him and be set for a while. On the other hand I could probably get him with a half pull too.

So many choices

Same. Been doing some vortex runs on my Bartz. He's only level 20 6* now and he's about to crest 300atk. He might end up being a decent bruiser.

Only lovely thing is now I need 2 more hero rings since they'll be better than his current hyper wrists.

I'm really struggling with second round Gilgamesh, anyone have any advice? I'm running CoD/Light/Agrias/Lenna/Tellah, should I pull out Tellah for Dracu Lasswell for more survivability? I just can't hurt him before I get worn down and people start dropping, then it's over.

I'm making a run now with a friend Cecil so we'll see if that helps.

Best I can say is avoid as many fights leading up to him, dispel his buffs when he applies them and just burst him down.

I didn't find any value in it. Most of his damage seemed to be physical. His jump is usually what would kill a unit.

I've drawn 2 Gold ExDeaths in the last few days, but leveling them is loving horrendous. I also have a 6* Bartz that is stuck around level 54.

If they don't give us a better way to level soon it'll probably be the end for me. Every week they release a brand new unit and I can't even level up my prior ones before I pull one of them.

I can't find the will to even do the daily quests anymore, and it's because I have so many characters to level and no effective way to do it.

Maybe this weekend I'll just mash every cactuar into my ExDeath to 6* him, followed by Bartz, Agrias and then maybe the other 3 ExDeaths I've gotten in the last week.

I haven't stepped into the Arena since the bug last week either. Maybe I'll just finish up my Blood Sword.

I keep holding out for Orlandu so I can make some turbo characters but leveling anything without a special event is just horrible.

You are not alone bro. We all are thinking the same actually.

I still would like to level a second ExBro. Then I have Bartz and Firion queued up at least. Then I could level a 3rd ExBro or level up the Chorizo I daily pulled on this stupid banner. Or one of the other characters that will probably never ever see max lvl.

The worst part is both Memu and Nox have been randomly hard locking on me for no apparent reason so I can't even effectively grind TM's like I used to be able to.

Memu 2.8.6 has been nothing but really stable for me. In one week of full nearly 24/7 TM farming I maybe see the Memu locked and not reacting 2 times. I also noticed I can tune this down drastically by rebooting my rig every 12 hours at least. Since I'm doing this I rarely had a lockup. Maybe once in 14 days or so.

I'll have to see how it's running today. I did some updates to various drivers on my system and cleaned up some junk. Windows 10 updates seems to have hosed up a bunch of items on my PC.

May end up doing a full reformat this weekend just to clean out the cobwebs.

I finally got around to editting my in-game message to have the standard SA alert. My lightning isn't the best, since I am mostly coasting on insane luck, but y'all are welcome to use her anyways: 734296609

I even added ten more friend slots just for you guys.

I actually just pulled CoD today, who will probably be better than Decil until his enhancements come through. I haven't gotten around to farming a barrage to make him useable. But, right now I am working on awakening Refia and Exdeath to 6*. At least with the Lightning bonus kicking in I can farm some gearsssssss

send help

Just some suggestions:

Craft some Hero Rings
Craft a Tiger Helm
Craft a Black Belt
Get the Enhancer

That should easily push you over 500 ATK

Has anyone ever run into this problem? I reinstalled Memu 2.8.6 so that I could run scripts reliably again, but now the scripts folder is completely empty and no amount of me recording operations will create a .mir file so that I can paste in the TM scripts from reddit. I've completely wiped and reinstalled Memu multiple times and nothing seems to get the scripts folder to populate.

I've also tried pasting in the scripts files from my laptop which was never updated to 2.9, but my desktop Memu won't recognize it.

As weird as this sounds can you confirm the actual directory your Memu is running from? Mine installed to funky places (E:/) so you may have 2 installs without knowing it.

If you have a bunch of friend points, maybe do some 10 pulls, mash some of them together and sell them at max level? You can get a decent amount per max level 2*.

Now I just need time to TM grind them all :(.

I currently have in the furnace:

Gungnir, Dual Wield, Dual Cast, Save the Queen and Black Cowl.

Been tossing all my moogles into Dual Wield. Not sure what to prioritize after that. Assuming I'm building a TM cache for Orlandu what should go next? I already have an excalibur ready for him. I'm thinking:

1. Black Cowl
2. Save the Queen
3. ?

Is there an order of priority? I do have Maxwell ready to grind out as well.
