10+1: Gold Sozhe #7. The rest were blue repeats. Sazh #16 was my best, getting me closer to his 10-Sided Die.

Daily Half, however, was my SECOND Daily Half Rainbow. I got VOTD. Merry Christmas to me!

Cagnazzo and Mystea are boss as gently caress. I feel like I wasted resources enhancing WOL's tanking today (I know it'll be handy, though, he brings a lot to the fight). Glacial and the Bloody Moon can't do poo poo to my party, they're a total wall. I only have 40 hp of pots in Mystea and nothing in Cagnazzo too.

Last Daily Half of 2017? Blue > Exdeath #10. :sigh:

WKN will never be mine. I guess that's what I get for getting 7 Rainbows this month: Loren (Daily Half), VOTD (Daily Half), Wilhelm (10+1 Ticket), Cloud (4*+ Ticket), Tidus (EX Ticket), Lightning #3 (4*+ EX Ticket). Rainbow 7 was from the 5* EX, and was Trance Terra #3.

FE Heros has been doing it too. Thankfully I am not far enough in that game to give a poo poo, nor are my units useful.

It doesn't happen often for me, but I've found that when the game acts stupid like that, an uninstall and reinstall fixes it.

Office Thug posted:

Why the Dinosaur?

His move set gives you one very important thing: a Single Target 25% MAGIC Damage Reduction buff. That specificity on MAGIC damage means that, much like Physical Damage Reduction buffs, it will almost certainly stack with a general Damage Reduction buff. At 25% it can make a difference between Mystea eating total poo poo on a bad turn with Marlboro or just barely scraping out alive. And it also increases that unit's SPR by 80%, in case you need that. It lasts 3 turns too... there's literally nothing wrong with this ability. Barusa also comes with a Physical version of this move, but there are much better sources of physical damage mitigation (see Pod).

What would you suggest as a Pod replacement for people who either didn't manage to get a 9S or missed the One Time Only Never Gonna Happen Again!* NiER Collab?

I'm not one of them. I got two 9S. And maybe oneday, I'll even finish one of those TMRs...


*poo poo like this is bullshit. EVERY Event/Collab should rotate back in at some point.

Server did well enough for me to do my Daily Half, 10+1, and use two tickets in an attempt to get WKN or Christine, then poo poo itself.

I ended up with Trey, Cyan, and Scarmiglione for my Daily Half & 2 Tickets. 10+1 gave me my first Xon, but also gave me Bedile AND Russel.

Bedile, Russel, and Cyan. What a way to start 2018!

You really can't do the T Terra LGD strategy unless her abilities are awakened huh? Magical Activation > Chaos Wave is just so slow, after 8 turns the boss is at only like 60% health

Yup. Mine's not awakened, so I bring a carry instead. Turn 1 is Magical Activication. Turn 2 is Sucessor - Maduin's Power > double Chaos Wave. Turn 3 is Sucessor > double Chaos Wave Awakened.

Provided the orb fucker doesn't use Fear, it generally doesn't take me more than 8-10 rounds.

Last night, I ended up in a 25 Round battle because he kept using Fear. :argh:

Sometimes it does feel like the game is trying to make up for lovely pulls.

And it's more fun to anthropomorphize and attribute emotion to a random number generator than accept the cold hard fact that success is not nor has it ever been based on merit or talent, but the unpredictable tides of chaos of an apathetic universe. :sun:

Your Noct getting hit with Confuse a few times made it take some time. But I did it.

No Light Resistance +20% for me, because I never bothered to see if I had any Units who learn both, and therefore never leveled up Helena or Jake. Ah well.
