Evil Fluffy posted:And For anyone who didn't look at 7* Santa Roselia (in JP, but maybe we'll see her next year), let me introduce you to her base 7* skill, Holy Revive: Much like the previous GL Exclusives that were ported over to JP, Santa Roselia is a completely different character. Our version will not have a 7* form because she is a 4* base.

Important Tip: Even if people tell you Grim Lord Sakura will be fiiiine it has like 15 SPR it'll melt anyway... DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. What a waste of 50 energy. Sigh.

For those interested in nice pictures: For a friend, I took another Queen who was geared slightly better (genji glove makes a pretty big difference) but basic concept the same. - Reset a couple times until the results were Ling and Ayaka dead - The two Queens did more than enough damage with Devastate+2 to kill the bird (it didn't really chain persay but it was just so much damage that bird was all WELP I'M OUT) - Guarded with Wilhelm for some HP back, waited til the next turn to Impregnable, Curaga, and raise Ayaka, who then finished getting everyone up to speed - Ayaka spent most rounds using Bushido to clear off the ice imbue - Ling slowly whittled away the little birds to get the esper orbs - Queens used Curaga most of the time, occasionally magic martyr when Ayaka was taking a break from dispelling everything so that Wilhelm could get MP back - Wilhelm had to Impregnable every round because of the Bushido dispel Took 45 rounds to get the esper orbs to summon Ifrit which instantly ended the fight because hahaha -1000% resist.

You don't have to keep spending the canes on the story, just collecting them adds to the total.

Paul Zuvella posted:Story 3 is unlocked and guess what? Story 4 requires 300 million more candy canes than the story 3 did. Story 3 took ~27 hours to unlock so we are looking at about 40 hours until story 4 unlocks. According to the Discord Raid Tracker we are actually 53 hours away from it at our present rate of candy cane collection. This event is dumb.

rabidsquid posted:50% ailment resist is kinda worthless since if you need to resist something you need to resist it, not maybe resist it. so it's a very goofy 10% hp ultimately. This is actually a NOT TERRIBLE but somewhat okay materia for Wilhelm, who has passive 50% status ailment resists across the board. so it's basically a discernment for him with 10% HP. (Who care's if he's blinded, really.)

If you also need a provoke tank, wait until Friday, THEN pull on Christine's banner (so that WKN is in the off-banner 2% pool)

dangerous.hotdog posted:You might as well wait for Hyou who blows pretty much every DD out of the water. I don't think it was too big of a gap between Sephiroth and Hyou (1 month?). I don't see many folks using Lila much anymore since she has like 3k HP with a SPR-focus build compared to 7*s who have like 16k HP. Apparently she's not so great in any fight that isn't a OTKO because she gets dunked on. yeah, wait those 8 months for Hyou, good choice.

Tengames posted:By the way , If you logged in every day and are getting the 5* summon ticket on the 28th, just wanna point out i pulled christine on a 4* ex ticket yesterday and gladios on a 5* the day he came out, so it might be a good idea to wait a day before using it, just for that slight chance. The last 5* EX ticket I used got me Demon Rain. I am absolutely using mine when WKN/Christine/Kryla are in the pool. Cao Ni Ma posted:He's absolutely right about Seph/Lila. If 7* hadn't come out then yeah, I'd say hold out till that banner since its fantastic but 7*s coming out so quickly after it and them being literally the last 5*s to get 7* forms means that you'll have really shiny benchwarmers for 4-5 months after they stop being relevant a month and change after they come out. Oh, I mean, waiting between Sephiroth and Hyou is more of a sensible thing, but I meant holding from now until then, that's kinda silly. I still maintain that pulling hard for anything not time-limited is wasteful.

rabidsquid posted:i am actually farming this event because its super easy to dump your energy doing so and i wouldnt be surprised if a lot of people are doing the same thing This. Because of my rank (147) I only have to dump energy twice a day and it takes like 4 minutes to do so. TMRing is actually harder because I have to check on it to make sure I don't get pulled into Fina's Psyche on a random crash. Also for the record I have 35k candy canes.

Office Thug posted:I'm using Nox and have the menu hud arranged in a way that if the game crashes the macro immediately just clicks back into the game and carries on as normal. It works for the most common in-game crashes (such as connection losses). I already have this done, it is not foolproof. If the game crashes while not in a battle, it will launch back into the Home Menu of the game, and clicks will take it to Mysidia->Fina's Psyche.

Agreed posted:Really does not feel stingy to me since the rate-up. Perhaps that's because of a year of being used to the old way, they've just made me appreciate a lighter nut punch. But I've currently got more 5* bases un-leveled and un-awakened than I can do for some time. So far I've already got together a decent set of 3 7-star units that are going to be good if things proceed like in JP, and we have a ton of time left - every crystal could be that next "good one" duplicate (real change in the how-does-it-feel-to-pull-dupes meta since the announcements for sure) I'm still at one rainbow since rate up. RNG is RNG. Skyridge posted:Doesn't JP give a lot more lapis and tickets out though? Yes but we get actual QoL changes and such way sooner.

I have crunched numbers on Grim Lord Sakura. ASSUMING that Kaliva's TM is 50% MAG from equipment when doublehand (a safe bet), then her BIS is now an INSANE 1382 MAG, with the Kaliva TM contributing 163 MAG of that total. Right hand: Mateus's Malice HP+10%, ATK+19, MAG+129 Head: Minstrel's Prayer MP+20%, DEF+8, MAG+42, SPR+46 Body: Dark Robe DEF+35, MAG+55, SPR+20 Accessory 1: Snowbear MAG+50, SPR+30 Accessory 2: Snowbear MAG+50, SPR+30 Materia 1: Rod Mastery MAG+50% Materia 2: Dark Bond MAG+50% Materia 3: Adventurer V ATK+40%, DEF+40%, MAG+40%, SPR+40% Esper: Bahamut HP+64, MP+63, ATK+60, DEF+60, MAG+60, SPR+60 Total: HP:4123, MP:435, ATK:261, DEF:299, MAG:1219, SPR:609

Cao Ni Ma posted:These new units seem to be trash so a pretty good banner to not roll in. Thanks for the lapis saved gumi The units themselves are very meh. I would absolutely recommend pulling a Kaliva, there is NO doubt in my mind that his TM will be important for someone. At the very least it will come into play when 7*s hit and we get more MAG DH users. Immediate use is Grim Lord Sakura for those who got her.

I spent eight 10+1s today in a last ditch effort for Winter units. Seven total trash pulls, literally the best I got was an Olif. ....and then the eighth ticket was a triple rainbow? Okay? I mean, it was Prishe #2, Delita, and Seabreeze Dark Fina, so they weren't USABLE, but still. Game why you do this.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Arngrim merits five stars? Um, Okay. I think there were many, many characters better than him. I guess because him and Jelinda were starter characters... Best guesses are saying that he's going to be the Raid Milestone 5* unit. Like Marquis De Leon in the DQ raid. And yeah, Lucian was her boyfriend. I woulda preferred Lezard, but eh. e: Also Arngrim played a pretty important recurring role in VP games so it's not unusual.

Tengames posted:A tdh finisher who has can use 3 abilities in a row, which seems detrimental to being a finisher as you want all that damage as a single hit at the end of a chain. This is numerically incorrect. at max level she gets an LB modifier. it is actually 4500%, 1 hit. and with a free materia slot (due to not needing MAG%), she can put something like Squall STMR for another modifier and getting 6150% LB all delivered in one hit. Ether Strike is pretty much true to game, it gives zero fucks.
