Well, if you bitch loudly enough, I guess someone answers.

It isn't Noct, like I really wanted. But my first base 5* is still a big relief.

One thing to consider is that if you aren't TM grinding then you'll lack the good katanas to make having blade mastery worthwhile.

Murasame and Chijiraiden are fine but you'd be better off grinding a TM weapon instead of a third BM.

Doing some quick math, which I'm sure I'm doing wrong says to me

Blade Mastery for a 150 ATK unit = 75 Atk
Osfune = 35 Atk
=
110 ATK

Excalibur = 120 ATK
Atk 10% for a 150 ATK unit = 15 ATK
=
135 ATK

So unless you've got a Miyuki also in the works, there isn't currently enough Katana support to justify a third BM.


# of Mikyuki you have + 2 - 1 if you didn't get Chijiraiden.

Eventually we'll get the Gilgamesh trial, and I believe it gives a good katana. Possibly even better than Sakurafubuki.

Am I really one of the only people who simply thinks it's neat, and not an outrage in the slightest? JP FFBE has literally hundreds of BE original (or non-FF) units at this point, and most of them suck thematically. At least Ariana looks neat.

Haha even the people who update the wiki agree. They just put "Hugs a chocobo when you win and melts your heart" under Refias unit description on the rankings page. Made me chuckle. I'm always a fan when people add dumb little things like that

My favorite is still Shadow:

*Can easily escape battle
*Which allows you to summon better units

Looks like I can join the ranks of the big boys. I still have a few more TMRs to grind out for him (Infernal Armlet, Champion's Belt, Goddess's Protection), some stat pots to add, and he'll never reach a perfect whale-level loudout, but for the total of $54 I've spent on this game and no more in the future, I'm pretty happy.



Then I go into the arena and promptly see this:



I sure hope that whale gets more satisfaction out of redundant pixelated images than, I don't know, a vacation in the Maldives, or a weekend of hookers and blow.

If you macro I believe the expensive priced trust moogle is literally never worth it, as the nrg spent getting it would give you way more % just doing earth shrine over and over.

This heavily depends on whether or not the event has other worthwhile stuff. Some events have given good drops (sacred crystals, megacites) or VERY high rank and unit xp. Buying the moogle at that point is just a byproduct of farming the event for what it has. Orbonne and week 2 of the FF13 gears were particularly good in that regard.

I've been out of the loop for a while but what's the consensus with the free 10+1 pulls? Should I be just doing it now or waiting to see if another batch comes before the period ends?

If you farm TMs now is as good a time as any. Shine's TM is great.

And nope, still haven't seen a Noctis from a freebie 11. I got a Gilgamesh on it though, so there's good poo poo there.

If you don't have a lot of 6* characters, I highly recommend buying out the stock of "cheap" 160 currency 6* awakening mats and Metal Cactuars toward the end of currency events, once you've got the really good stuff.

Having the flexibility of a large 6* lineup is important in the grand scheme of things, and will make gimmick counters easier to deal with. Aside from Ace and Emperor, nothing in the below image is exceedingly rare:
