In my 10+1 super pull, I got a Reberta and Greg. Greg is supposed to be pretty nice with his enhancement, right?

I thought I remembered reading Reberta will chain with Orlandu. Is that right, or did I make that up?

Wilhelm + Tilith are a drat good pair for the counter attack mog raid. First turn Tilith cures everything while Wilhelm buffs defense and spirit. Managed to clear all the missions with no one dying thanks to those two.

Can Wilhelm break? That's what makes WoL so great to me. R1, he can ATK/MAG break and R2 (after Rikku buffs everyone), he can DEF/SPR break.

I've been sick to death of having no 5* DPS so I decided to go all in on this banner, used 69 tickets and an 11 pull.

3 Rikku (do I need more than 1?)
18 Wakka
Dark Fina 2
Setzer 3
Xon 2

Aaand that's about it of note. Everyone else a duplicate that I have no need for or garbage tier.

Someone else who has more knowledge of the JPN game can probably give a better answer, but the only reason I can think of needing more than 1 is the 10 man split team raid I've heard about. Would be nice to have a Rikku on each squad.

Is WoL's description wrong?

Warriors Pride says there's a chance of restoring HP/MP after receiving a physical attack.
The wiki says magical and that's what my experience says.

Light is with us! says chance of taking physical damage for an ally.
The wiki says chance to protect all with damage mitigation. Because of the description, I've not used it.

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet, but Razzmatazz makes Laswell one of the best Arena units right now. With Dual Wield, Exorcising Storm hits the entire enemy party with a 30% chance to petrify/sleep 4 times.

I put it on Luneth, but Laswell is a pretty good thought.

Separate Question: I have 2x TGCs as chainers. This week, I pulled Reberta and Gilgamesh. I read Gilgamesh is a pretty great finisher after enhancements. Would he or Reberta be better for my team now?

Not sure who I'd swap out though. Current raid team is TGC, TCG, WoL, Rikku, Tillith, Friendlandu

In his current state, he can straight-up out-perform Tilith, though. The only thing he cannot do is AoE full raise, and I remain unconvinced of the practical utility of that skill. About the only thing he lacks is AoE debuff cleanse.


Doesn't it use one of an item when you use his ability? I doubt I have that many Y-pots

I don't have Eileen so I used my Emperor and a Tanky (7200~ HP) friend Zarga. My Rikku and Cecil have Maxed LBs and Cecil had his cover Awakened to +2 and Rikku had the Overdrive fist equipped which the link didn't mention. Only things I had to do different were:

Robot down, and lord, did that suck. I hope to never fight a battle that long again.

Took the better part of the afternoon with strategy from last page.

Team was

I didn't want Eileen, but couldn't find better on my list. Her refresh was huge early on.

The 10+1 ticket will pull units from the general pool. Nier is time sensitive like Brave Frontier, but while it's active, those units will be in the general pool. So yes, if you wait for Nier to use the ticket, you have a very small chance that a Nier unit will show up. However, there will be no boosted drop rates, so you're just as likely to get Bedile, Shadow, or Anzelhm as you are a Nier unit.

"Just as likely," riiiiight.
