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.

You're correct; different characters LBs cost different amounts. Basch is a really nice tank to have, and will help you out for awhile. Have you posted your friends code in the thread yet?

I put it up in the goon spreadsheet.

It's good to hear he'll stay helpful for a good while. Mostly I was happy to get him because he was my favorite char in FFXII, wasn't too impressed with him off the bat, but once I enhanced him a bit, it was awesome.

(E: I just got Noctis; is he any good?)

Can somebody explain the arena or point me toward a source that lays it out?

I generally just do the five missions to get the goodies and get KOed as fast as I can. Surprisingly, I actually won one today, because it was down to Basch and Ashe plinking away at each other, and I had maybe 5 more HP when the 10 turns were over. (I’m so dumb at this game)

Ashe is currently the easiest strong unit to field for arena. Multiple copies of her gives you easily chained virtually unavoidable damage that never gets turned off by weekly rules and works through silence. And also heals you. She can also remove all status ailments on the entire team, so she’s a good candidate to wear a ribbon/discernment.



Yeah, I had zero chance of winning this one.

I actually got Eiko and Aileen #2 trying for Steiner. I just wanted a higher damage sword for A2 to maybe get her close to 1200 Atk. But hey I will 100% take a huge upgrade for my whole team instead.

If I could trade you, I’d give you one of my Steiners. I ended up with six of him :sigh:

Anyone have a reliable site that lists what enemies or locations are best for getting specific materials. I think the one I looked up was outdated or just flat out wrong.

You can get them from Chamber of Awakening PRO, but honestly just buy them from the mog king when they roll around. They're cheap.

If you still have mog king currency from the last event I think he's still around.

EDIT: for a reference website: https://exvius.gamepedia.com/Final_Fantasy_Brave_Exvius_Wiki

Thanks friend-o! I assumed King Mog disappeared when a ticket event was over, but no he’s still around and I had enough tickets to grab what I needed to upgrade Setzer.

And thanks for the link, farming enemies is a bullshit task quest.

Burned two tickets this morning and got back to back Lockes.

And Jesus this story event is so dull. Then again, I don’t care about any of the characters made for this game, so I keep skipping the story portion because I don’t give a plop about the adventures of a butler and a sword cat. Silvia’s alright at defensive support, because she’s the only character I have that’s at a decent level and has a high enough green magic level to use the bar-era skills.

Also, anyone else find some of the job listings for characters silly? One of my friend list guys usually mains Prompto and his ‘job’ says ‘Prince’s friend’

managed to half pull a Basch today, and my 30M ticket gave me a Lunera.

I don’t think I’ve taken him out of my party since I got him. His attacks and enemy status lowerers are good and ‘Spirit of the Fighter’ is ridiculous

This story is pretty bad. It's so bad that the last two dungeons are called "Extra 1" and "Extra 2," because they couldn't stretch out the furry original character do not steal backstory any further than they did.

Did you play during the fan-created characters raid? There's a Flowery Lady, a Costume Girl and Mog Friend in there. Iris is a "Prince's Friend" as well. Primm's job is "Young Girl."

Was it a while ago? I don’t think so. But I keep getting this maid dual wielding handguns and she just looks so ridiculous. Was she a story char a while back?

I’m a little confused about the million or so trust moogles I got. For example, I got a couple aligned to ‘Croft’s Intuition’ but if I try to fuse it to Lara, it says insufficient trust. Do I need to be above a certain trust % to use it at all?

Oh boy, another Wakka but he now goes up to 6*.

Are any of the FFX units good healers? I’m kind of lacking in that department, and pretty much rely on Rikku for Al Bhed potion and Noctis for Cover and Hyper Mighty G gives me a re-raise.

Or would I be better off just crafting some spells and slapping them onto B Sage Sakura?

I picked up dual wield and slapped it on Noctis. Just curious, does dual wield combine the damage power of the two weapons, or is it the first attack is at the strength of weapon 1, the seconds attack is at the strength of weapon 2?

Anybody know what triggers ‘the plume exploded’ for the Garuda fight? I’m not sure if it’s number of turns or HP below a certain %. She also ran away one time, but I think I went too many turns.

Also, I have a question about burst pots. I’ve been hanging onto all my pots because I don’t know who to dump them onto. My general team is Basch/Barbariccia/Noctis/BS Sakura/Rikku. Any of them worth boosting their LB?

PaybackJack posted:

None of those characters is particularly pot worth given your current team.

I'd consider Barb. 74% Wind and Lightning debuff is something both Noctis and Sakura(and Barb herself) can take advantage of, the LB cost is cheap enough you can use it frequently as well.

If you're new enough that's your team then you probably don't have the gear to get Noctis into a position where he can keep his LB up, otherwise his buff would be great not to mention finishing level damage. Noctis is probably the best choice if you had a stronger lineup and some good gear to help support his LB generation.

So yeah, I think at the current moment you'd see more gains from Barb, but later on Noctis would be stronger but you'll get more pots by that point.

Thanks for the info. I haven’t been playing long, so that crew is the best I have rn
