I haven't touched this in a good half year, felt the urge to fill some time with this. Any good quick summary of what is new and what to look out for. I noticed that there are now two summon tabs and something called Expeditions.

Nothing quite like doing a 10+1 summon and only getting trash to be welcomed back to this game.

More like Ignis cooks things, and after he's done cooking, he can give characters an elemental imbue for a couple of rounds. One of his dishes has a 6 round cooldown, but boosts all stats by 150% and prevents stat debuffs.

I still want to know why he gets blind resist.

It's probably easier to just give him Blind Resist then code some trait for him that allows him to function under Blind like normal.

"When people talk about game as a service, people tend to focus on the problem of payment associated to it. A lot of people seem shut out the idea and the word completely. We actually look at the whole thing from a bigger picture. (Because of the payment system), we can provide excitement, as well providing new content add new gameplay mechanics after game's release, allowing the game to exist in the long term. Because of that we can express more things through the game, and (I believe) people are focusing too much on the negative aspect of payment."

I assume this is the snippet that is being talked about.

Probably? Since you want to get the killing blows with the granted skills in the same round you probably want to bring a more defensive lineup than usual. Get the dragons down to like ~5% and then do the rest of it with the dragonskills. It's not as much of a damage race, but just making sure that you actually have both skills avaiable at the end to finish them off.

3 10+1 pulls and 20 tickets later and not a single on banner rainbow to show for it. Thanks Gumi, just let me put down 10k Lapis or whatever and get Beatrix if I want her.

I’m sure this has probably been discussed a million times in the thread, but I just started playing a few days ago, so I was wondering if characters’ LB gauges fill at different rates? Setzer’s seems to fill fast as hell, but Basch’s seems to fill waaaay slower than everyone else’s.

I got Basch two days ago in a rainbow crystal; his LB is nothing to write home about (fire damage to one enemy + 100% evade for 3 turns), but dude is a goddamn tank, plus he’s got some pretty good group buffs/debuffs.

Yes, LB's require a different amount of the little red crysts depending on the character. Setzer only needs 16 to fill up his LB at 6* while Basch instead needs 26 to fill his gauge.

Also know that stat/limit pots are pretty rare. Dont spend them all on throw away units. Go in with a plan on who really benefits from their limit break. If the limit break increases your party's damage mitigation like Wilhelms/Chows, boosts elemental resistances like Yan's, provides stronger breaks like 9s/Tim's or imperils like Tidus then those are pretty good to upgrade. Straight up damage and heals aren't really that good, but 7*s makes dps limit breaks in some cases pretty good.

I maxed BS Sakura's LB and I'm not really regretting it, even though it's just straight pewpew damage.

Threw about 15 tickets at the banner, got a Robin' 'Ood (Great LB visuals 10/10) and a Killing Machine. Not sure if it's just the summoning pool being so diluted by now, bad luck of Gumi loving something up with the rates, but that feels like a bad quota. Though I do have a Yuna now, not that I need her at all.

Nichol is my reverse husbando, even if his CG version is broken as poo poo, I just don't care at all for him.

I also managed to get my BS Sakura over 1k Mag today, which isn't really newsworthy, but for me as a non-macro player it was very satisfying to see that number.

I managed to pull Onion Knight and Sep with the two 4* and I almost died from the overwhelming feeling.

Now I need to run this new dungeon to get Sep's coat. Is it as hard as I think it is?

Just get PDQ's Noctis, it'll easily carry you through the bossfight as described above in his post.
