So Stage 7's reward is a 5% Trust Moogle? :stare:

I can put in a lot less effort and get a 10% from a King Mog event in a day.

A third Ring of the Lucil is always great!

However the fourth crystal was a rainbow!

I was doing good with Christmas themed pulls on today's banner!

Daily draw was a friendly unit riding a big giant robot spreading joy to all the good little boys and girls (it was Grace)

Used the 4* ticket and got a jolly old man with a big bushy beard (it was Gaffgarion)

Gingerbread man was an rear end in a top hat and a loser in the first place. Took me a couple of tries but I got him and got a ticket.

Ticket went blue -> gold -> rainbow and out came a unit wearing barely any red. Christmas Lightning!

Merry Christmas, but I think I'll skip this banner this year.

I got up to 6,250 lapis, did a daily draw. gently caress off and die, Sice.

Still haven't had an on banner pull in this banner and I've had the worst run I think anyone may have ever had for on banner pulls since the Christmas banner.

EDIT: I think I'm done with event banners/daily draws and will just stick to pulling on the Rare Summon banner.

if youre hunting for dupe 5* then the generic rare banner is propably the best option.
that said we don't know what global exclusives we'll get in the next few months, so might as well save tickets after king's knight is done.

I do save tickets for KM events as I like to get enough bonus units to get what I plan to get as soon as possible, so I'll hold onto at least a few tickets. It's just so depressing lately with the rate of pulling actual on banner units. I think I only got maybe one Gilbert in the entire Christmas event.

Listen, I was just complaining about 60+ pulls with no rainbow less than 2 days ago game, you don't need to go overboard in the other direction before CG Fina shows up.

Jeez, and all I ever get in free summons is very bottom of the barrel units except for this morning, where I pulled a Miyuki. I think she may have been the best free summon I’ve had so far that wasn’t on a 10+1, not like those have been great either :smith:

Nah it’s just all the units I’ve recently received. None of those are even non-dupes for what I have in my unit list already. I hit next instead of share, so that’s just the unit list. The flashing “New” is different there

Freebie and daily pull was meh.

10+ got me:



Cor and Zyrus have cool TMs, too. maybe my luck with 10+1 is turning around? Maybe?

I usually try for three bonus units in these kinds of events. I started with a 4* ticket and got Steiner. Burned through a chunk of tickets, #1 and #2 weren’t bonus units. #3 went blue->gold->rainbow.



However, I had to wait until my 10th ticket to pull a third dang bonus unit, which was Black Waltz. I even had multiple golds that didn’t give me a second Steiner! What gives!

Tossed a decent number of tickets and some lapis, not a ton of luck to be honest until my last ticket went from gold to rainbow.

I probably got three golds out of all the 30m tickets in total, but I did get a decent number of 10% moogles.

Ludmille was one of the two crystals from the ticket today. I don’t think I noticed any Ludmille pulls, whether it’s myself or anyone else in the thread/discord for six months. Suddenly in the last month or so, there’s been a flood of her. Are single cast magic users making a comeback or something?

So the boss for the story event's extra stage 2-5.. to be honest I probably made the Tomb Raider extra boss battle harder than it needed to be, but nothing is working against the boss for this event. I can't seem to OHKO him, if I leave him alive he kills everyone with flash grenade spam. I can't S/L it either to get a favorable roll in it's attacks.
