Wowza, the Great Nian Beast may be the hardest content I've had to face so far. ELT doesn't seem beatable even with a friend Noctis with over 800 atk and I barely scratched out a victory earlier on Pro.

It's not like they've been hiding that most of the content is balanced around the assumption you're spending hundreds of dollars on the game

Dark Fina on her hardest mode was so much easier even with just a friend unit that socks it to 'em good. It would help if Hex Strike/Fire Flask would work. To be fair I haven't tried Hex Strike but if Fire Flask doesn't work then Hex Strike likely won't either.

Oh yeah I finally got the 5% TM from the stupid beast fight. It was a stressful fight, believe me. It was the hardest fight I've encountered so far in either of the popular Final Fantasy gacha games.

Now I just need the arena awards to come in, and with a Zidane at 90%, I'll get my first Dual Wield!

Hayate has a nice TM and Vanille isn't that bad although not as good as some other healers.

Fran sucks and Sabin can't even suplex a throw pillow however.

Maybe Gumi is right and trust moogles are the most broken thing in the history of the world. That explains why even a 5% trust moogle has to be locked behind some really insane bullshit.

But were you using an 800+ noctis friend? Because a lot of people forget that one. Half the "F2P NO TM!!!!" guides for the event basically boiled down to "get a high level noctis, use your dual cast refia and level 100 cecil". I still can't get past the second boss of the drat thing because I just don't have the damage to do it, not even if I use a high level noctis.

Also the level 100 Cecil has a maxed LB or close to it.

I decided to bring Exdeath along. I actually made progress due to Imperil. I didn't use him because of Abraxas and his thing with magic spells. I did get to the dumb dragon and got him down halfway.

Does Wicked Light count as magic for Abraxas? Keep hearing to use that over everything else.

I'd think it does.

Tried another run, and I still am not sure why Omniviel is recommended. I don't really see the RESIST thing pop up and eat just as much damage even if I didn't have it up. If I had a better elemental damage mitigation I may be able to pull this off after all.

I may have to start using the Bar-ras instead.

Well, after a butt load of S/Ls to make sure characters didn't die in earlier fights, and early on in the Abraxas fight, Abraxas finally fell.

I had to defend a few guys when he was halfway dead so CoD can do the Comeback thing. I dunno how Lenna and Mrit's Noctis survived the second round of Release, but after Lenna used a Remedy, Noctis finished him off.

Yeah I think it's time to TM farm and get my own Noctis up to snuff.

EDIT: Oh yeah Exdeath's Light attack is not magic, so imperil Abraxas and go to town.

I use Memu when I want to run a TM macro, and got the most recent TM "Ultimate" Patch 2.0.0 no lapis macro from https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/55f44k/lets_talk_nox_macros/

Unfortunately I have to watch the macro, because whenever I go off and do something, 5-10 minutes after I leave the macro decides that I absolutely have to view a friend unit and I get stuck. I have the resolution where it's supposed to be. That was a problem in a previous version so I'm hoping they can fix it.

This Gilgamesh trial sounds like a whale job.

Looking at the equipment above really makes me go "nope"

I'd think I have the units for it(although my best unit is Chiz with 543 ATK), and I can cover some of the elements with Emperor and Exdeath. I'm not quite where I need to be TM wise, Dualcast and a second Dual Wield are quite a ways away. I probably can't outlast him at the moment.

Make sure you are not using any element other then Lightning or Dark first off all....

Basically it's ultimas or lots of hard hitting physical attacks.

Get a beefy Olive friend to make it easier, as she doesn't run afowl of the bosses really strong elemental defenses.

The boss is no joke, but she can be ATK/MAG broken to reduce how much damage she's doing, that will go a long ways.

I did use a beefy Olive friend the first time I tackled her. When her big 45 MP attack did only 60k, I gave up.

Is it possible to pull anything on a banner or am I pulling on the wrong banner?

I keep getting a few thousand Crimson Blood TM for every coin I use so I'm trying to see if I can throw four tickets at this banner to at least try for Reberta.

Ticket #1 - Lenna
Ticket #2 - Exdeath
Ticket #3 - Sabin (Gumi make him 1* max already, he can't even suplex a pillow for goodness sake.)
Ticket #4 - Ulrica :psyduck: I, uh, picked the Dragon Killer banner.

I have 5000+ laps and 11 tickets including the guaranteed 4* ticket are left, and I'm trying to save them for whenever the FFX drop happens, and I'm doubting I'll pull a single on banner unit for that event at this point.

My luck is so nasty in this game that I'm gonna pull Fran with my 4* ticket somehow when the FFX event comes around.

Did a few pulls to try for one of these new banner nerds:

daily was Cecil! I had two already and accidentally smushed one into the Cecil I have that I'm working on for Excalibur. A second chance to get a second Excalibur is always welcome!

ticket pulls:

Ludmille - I have three already and just completed a dual cast. Three dual casts are plenty. Smush!
Eight - One, not Eight, is enough
Grace - one of the new banner nerds!
Shadow - Don't pull Shadow, new players. Feed him to better units!
