I've had terrible luck with 10+1s lately, but in the past two days I got Roy, Christine, and William #2 out of a handful of 4*and regular tickets, so I'm pretty happy with that. What TMRs should I be looking for to gear up Christine? She's my first top tier (?) magic damage dealer.

PaybackJack posted:First phase I timed it on the 1st, 5th, 9th, and 13th rounds and 16th rounds. I made sure to always kill the adds on the 4th turn to turn off devour, and would then use my next action to reapply the MA, which is a little counter intuitive since you would think you'd want to be using that round to deal damage to Malboro but by only doing one phase of damage to him, it was easy to control his HP descent and got him to exactly 50% on turn 13. I used it again on turn 16 just to buy a turn so I wouldn't run right into Tentacles Rampage. Once I went below 50% on turn 17, I killed the adds on 18, which again turned off devour and setup to kill them again on 20, and actually had to do a single chaos wave on 19 just to ensure I wiped everyone on 20. In previous runs I'd been using Rikku and decided to run Roy since I figured that with Mystea tanking I could get by on Ayaka's reraise. Roy providing the break to the adds made them very easy to 2 shot; was doing like 80% damage to them. I don't have Ayaka or T. Terra, but I do have Roy and Christine. Do you think I have a chance with a party of Cagnazzo, Roy, Mystea, Christine, friend Christine, and a healer? No Tillith, but I have Yshtola and Refia and Luka (enhanced) with a Dualcast to spare if it helps.

rabidsquid posted:its supposed to have drastically higher appearance rates for bonus units, although the math is going to end up being that running exactly 275% on intermediate while also taking demon rain has the best energy to drop ratio What does Demon Rain have to do with it? Or did I miss a joke? So far my limited experience has been that ELT pays off way better because I can run it with four (or five, with a friend) bonus units. I haven't figured out how, or don't have the right units, to breeze through LGD like that.

LGD Farm Quest continues: Thanks to a tip from a Reddit thread, I now have a 2B that can solo carry the last boss (100% evasion, 100% fire resist, sleep immunity). The bad news is she takes 30+ turns to kill it. I haven't yet decided if it's worth it.

Well, Reset Bird earned his name today. The new app has a bug where two resets in a row will act like a 100-lapis continue, reviving all units with full LB and a esper gauges. As long as one unit survives the pre-emptive strike, you can use this trick to summon Ifrit and pass the trial with all missions. The Reddit thread on the new update (bugs and features) has the details. This works in other contexts of course, but I've only had time to use it on the bird. You could probably use it to cheese all the trials if you can do it before Gumi fixes it.

It's cheesy, but using Garnet (EVO Mag+ and Esper battery), I. Nichol (cover tank redirect to ...), 100% Dodge Soleil (for buffs and breaks), Ilias (for infinite MP), 2B and friend 2B (for DPS) to kill Aranea sure is a lot of fun. I don't know how you're supposed to get her without some sort of dodge cheese; she has a hell of a lot of DEF and SPR. Now to figure out how to kill Leviathan 2*...

I've been insanely lucky on pulls the last couple weeks: Aileen #1, Fryevia #2, and today my freebie was Ayaka #1. Guess I should go buy a lottery ticket.

I have now been lucky enough to pull Ayaka. I also have a near-BiS Wilhelm, a Basch, and a near-BiS 2B. Surprisingly, I also just pulled Explorer Aileen to go with my Aileen. To tackle the trials (Aigaion, Malboro, Bloody Moon, the 10-mans), would I be better off sticking with 2B and a friend for DPS or investing into the Aileens? I also have Christine, if chaining with a friend T.Terra would be better.

I swear the game is trolling me. I spent my stash of about 60 tickets on the banner and for five rainbows (which I realize is very lucky): Nyx #3, Ramza (not bad, but I already have two Roys), and Dark Fina #3 among them. Now, the other two were my first T Terra and O Knight, and T.Terra will do very well with my Christine, so I'm not complaining. But if I hadn't pulled Ayaka on a daily a couple weeks ago I would be a little salty. Boy howdy I need crysts and cactuars now.

If it were me, I would stop there with CG Fina. The number of insane healers is much smaller than the number of good DPS units, and I was missing a top tier healer for a loooong time after I had good damage dealers. Plus CG Fina can be a damage dealer.

Khisanth Magus posted:I really disagree with holding on to units with crap TMRs you will never use. They are a waste of unit space in order to get something that will either be a waste of equipment or materia space that you will never use. Think if it this way: each pointless unit you hold on to costs you 20 lapis in the end, because you will run out of unit space and need to expand. Is getting a Throw or Thundaga blade or Barrage worth 20 lapis to you? Intellectually, I know you're right. But that hasn't stopped me yet from collecting everything I can. 600 unit slots, 200 materia slots, 180 or so equipment slots ... But part of it is just setting my own goals in this silly F2P game and deciding that the collecting part is fun.

Now that I've farmed up some good TMRs and have some top-tier units kitted out, I've been working through some of the tougher trials. With a BiS Wilhelm to eat the KO attack, and a pair of 2Bs (one mine, one a friends), Aigaion was actually kind of a chump. Won on my first attempt with all achievements. Malboro was a different story. Failed on five or six tries until I ultimately landed on a team of Wilhelm, Basch, CG Fina, Roy (swapped in for Christine as I was having survivability and MP issues, not DPS issues), T. Terra and friend T. Terra. MVP was Basch -- he could soak magic damage, break DEF/SPR for all the Malboros, and with the Ankh of the Goddess he could cast Reraise on himself on free turns (really useful when Fina's LB wasn't up and when she needed to Prime Heal to get rid of ailments from Bad Breath). Basch even carried the team through a rough patch when Wilhelm got Devoured and subsequently Berserked. Still failed several times because that stupid trial is so dependent on timing. Oh, you accidentally did slightly different damage to the Malboros and killed only one? hosed. Oh, you miscalculated and didn't kill the Malboros on the Devour turn? hosed. Oh, you forgot to Dispel the Crazy Mad buffs? hosed. So I was so happy when everything finally came together and I cued up Basch's LB, Fina's LB, and a T. Terra chain to kill them all. Oh, what's that? No "LB Kill achievement"? Dammit. I did damage from two different LBs on the kill turn, including part of the killing chain (or at least that's what I thought). Gumi, why you do this to us? I can't decide whether to go back in to get that stupid achievement or skip it for now and kill the Bloody Moon. Edit: Well, Bloody Moon was bloody easy with that team. Geared up T Terra with M Spirit Killers, and with CG Fina casting Reraise on everyone and Wilhelm and Basch tanking, I was basically unkillable. werdnam fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Apr 4, 2018 |

I think my A Team and supporting cast might be a bit overtuned. In the last week I've completed Aigaion, Malboro, Moose, Sheratan, Elnath, 3* Siren and 3* Ifrit. Most of those took only one try, although I still have to go back and get the magic kill missions Malboro and Elnath. Not sure what to TMR farm any more, I don't have any content left to aim for!

I might be able to help if you're just looking for a LGD capable carry unit and don't need it to be a bonus. If you can provide the chains and a method to escape the first mobs, I can provide a max EVO magic Garnet with Bahamut that call kill the bosses with a capped chain. Edit: well, I just pulled Seymour so once I buy some cactuars I might be able to put up a bonus unit to do this. But Garnet has a spell to fill the evo gauge and Seymour doesn't. werdnam fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Apr 10, 2018 |

Policenaut posted:Hey so I was reading Japanese game news and I saw that Xenogears is coming to Brave Exvius and that was the last straw I needed to finally get into this. I've never played Brave Frontier so I don't have that to go from but what would you guys say this is like compared to SE's other FF mobile gacha thing Dissidia Opera Omnia? I've read the OP so I've got a general idea but is there a big co-op push like that game or is it mostly solo? Good points so far. I'll add that while I think that DFFOO appears more generous, it's also true that you have to randomly draw four copies of a weapon to max it out. In FFBE, you only need one copy of a unit (for now) to make good use of it. Also, I think the grind in DFFOO is way more time-consuming and boring than the equivalent in FFBE. And I hate having to convince random people to team up with me to earn all the rewards. I'm still playing DFFOO, but I like FFBE a lot more.

Anyone have the link to the depressing math about how often one should expect to run the Chamber stages to draw giancrysts? I'm now regretting not farming Gagazet for 90000 more MK currency to buy 3 black giancrysts. Oh Gumi, why do you have to make this so ridiculously hard?
