Anyone able to friend-host a Tidus with a fire weapon? I can do the same if anyone needs.

How much ice resistance should I be aiming for if I'm trying to 1 round this bad boy?

Hmmm...gonna give this a shot with Onion Knight and a Hoemaru. 2 x Fire Tidus doesn't seem to have the oomph to one round. Closest I got was 9%. It could be the lack of perfect chaining or it could be the lower ATK values (I don't have a genji glove so dual wield eats up an important materia slot). I'm a lot better manually chaining Onion boys so let's see how that rolls out ...

WELP! Onion Boy takes the Frozen Crown. Friend OK didn't even have a fire weapon equipped, but a Splendor of Fire chain one shotted the Glace. Leaving the absolute boy up as my friend unit if anyone needs.

So, what if you don't have two Onion Knights?

I dunno? I only have one myself. Chaining partner was a friend unit. If the friend unit had had a fire weapon equipped I probably could have killed it with Onion Cutter instead.

The key is to just have some kind of strong chainer with a fire weapon. Tidus didn't have enough ATK to one round with a chain, so I went with Onion Knight instead. Also, resetting if either of your DPS get wiped out in the opening salvo.

People on Reddit are managing with Orlandeu/Agrias, the Nier crew, VoD, etc. I think the only rule of thumb is to try and have your chainers over 900 ATK and to use fire weapons.

why in the holy hell would they make esper kills/using an esper one of the critical mission targets on a timed exploration that has an absolutely vanished encounter rate. usually the problem goes the other way around! I can't even build up the goddamn gauge before running out of time.

So just a minor buff to her new passive.

nice.

so something I've been wondering with summoners -- what do they need for gear? My understanding is their native stats don't affect summon damage, so is the goal to just gear them for survivability and nuke as often as possible with, most likely, Bahamut?

Is a Fixed Dice build worth using on either Onion Knight or Tidus if I'm missing Buster Style? I have two Marshal Gloves in the TMR oven but I'm not holding my breath over pulling a Cloud any time soon.

Also, I highly suggest bringing the Jade Moon Pendant for King Apep if you have it. Makes his status effect assault a breeze, and if you have a magic tank and and Atk/Mag breaker he should be no issue.

Oh, also, remember you can use Holy for that magic kill shot as long as you dispel his reflect first.

I think they quick fixed his light weakness? My Cid and EFluffy's crushed the bastard.

Ugggggghhhh just wasted a bunch of Support crysts enhancing the wrong Noctis. He's just TMR fodder/maybe arena shennanigans, but still ... I could full pot him and put him to use, but my Noctis prime already has that stuff squared away.

At least I managed to pull BS Sakura from the 3rd batch on the Women's Day banner, which is all I really wanted. I guess that outweighs the wasted crysts.

10+1 pulls are absolute garbage.

with the free tickets, whatever, they're free.

but 5000 lapis takes forever to accumulate and then pissing it away for a bunch of 3* trash and 4* dupes is absolutely demoralizing.

and LOL @ you if you actually pay cash money for that lapis.

Was way overkill for both esper fights. Literal one-shot of Siren, had to reload and bop her for 20 turns to get esper orbs.

I got Ifrit to 35 and Siren to 32 on the 10 supercites and enough red/blue megas to dip my counter under 999. (I had..... a lot.) Siren I picked up the ST Reflection Boost panels and now she gives more MAG than Bahamut so I mean, yay?

lol i saw the image before the edit and wondered how the heck Lara, Xon, and a non-maxed Zidane managed to crush the trials, but this makes more sense.

4*+ ticket from Siren finally delivered the Lotus Fina I’ve been chasing. I assume I can officially retire Ayala now or are there cases where I’d want one over the other? Honestly I haven’t been in dire need of healing with Ramza singing away but I appreciate the options.

Think I’m gonna put off Ifrit until I finish farming an ice katana.

thanks! together, our Lunera were able to clear the Malboro. could not get a LB kill it would have left the little ones alive even perfect chained, but whatever.

hit a brick wall on the moon. i was hoping aureole being dual element would mean it was only partly resisted by the light and wind skulls, but they straight up nulled it. i hate that trial - it will take me forever using someone like Ashe, none of my other magic options have non-elemental chaining capability. i really wish I had Trance Terra.
