Retro42 posted:10+1 gave me Emporer Shera #3. And that’s about it. Question for everyone. I have 1 Lilith and 1 Ellesperis. Every thing on the select ticket I don’t have at all. Lilith worth the 7*? I don’t have a good magic cover tank yet really. In that case, yes. Lilith isn't the best from a pure tanking standpoint, but she doesn't have the "oops I single target covered" problem that A. Rain and Chow have and she has a ton of versatility.

Alright so that's 9 10+1s and however many free tickets in that time frame with no rainbow. Have not been keeping exact count but that's approximately a 1.62% event.

Got a Malphasie on my 10+1 this morning. Seeing as I have 0 time limited units, I think I'll pull on whatever step up is on for Christmas and if I don't get something worthwhile, I'll just use my Fan Festa ticket on her.

I think my best bet is just a summer Lasswell for his dw tmr for that GE UoC. I can get 7* Lilith - whose only use for me is to be a dick in arena - 7* WKN, Chow, Ellesperis, Lucius, or Olive STMR. All the rest are either #1 or #3 of a given unit. I’m also tempted to burn a UoC for 7* fina. But I think I’m just going to hang onto my double pull for at least until I get a 3rd, which is also probably around the time Akstar comes out.

Free 10+1 ticket was Emperor #4, so that's my first STMR  Took a run at the GLEX Step-Up hoping to get a time limited and ended up Hawaii Lassworms #1 and #2, and Malphasie #2. Not what I was hoping for, but 7* Malphasie is exciting at least.

Picked up Duke's STMR...now to find a unit who can use a spear.  Kinda stinks that his TMR ability requires dual wield...which he doesn't get inherently. Wonderful. He has some absurd boosts with jumping into dragons though. Using his STMR and Crimson Blood, he's at 300% dragon killer, and it's pretty easy to get over 300% on jump damage. Too bad he still kinda stinks.

I don’t have a good magic cover tank yet really. Lilith as a good tank and AR chainer. Ellesperis is not a bad unit at 7★. Sure, she loses hitpoints with a her chaining skills but that's what you use her triplecast (unlocked by equipping her TMR) for, getting new blood to replace the blood she's lost. If you bring a decent healer along you don't even need to save the third triple cast for keeping her topped up. If she's your only way into Divine Ruination family chaining, still, take it!

Well I threw my lapis at 4/5 of of a lap and now my additional options are Demon Rain 7* and Fryevia STMR. Leaning toward Fry, but I feel like I’d just get more use out of Aloha Lasswell still. Especially with Raegan on the horizon for 7*. E: oh hey. Also Draculasswell 7* is an option. Wonder how I forgot that.

By crystal you mean the Prism? What 7* units do you have now? List those too. Since you can't get any 7* unit from the 10 select tickets other than Reberta I'd wait until the end of the claim period and see what else you pull between now and then. Claim period is January 31st according to the in game message so you have a while. --- I got greedy and went for a 2nd Lap. 19k more Lapis got me Olive #6 and Malphasie #4. Ravenheart is a great STMR but it wasn't worth 19k I don't think. I also realize I could use this for a 4th Zarg, his STMR is pretty rocking.

Only 7* I have right now is A2. And yeah, by crystal I mean the prism you get from melting down a 5* unit that you use to make a 7*. I have one for Sieghard, as well as one for the green mage chick (which apparently I shouldn't have done?)

Annath posted:Only 7* I have right now is A2. It's fine, it just means you can't farm the rainbow robe, you'll have to moogle it. We're getting 200% worth of moogles over the next couple months, though, guaranteed, which means you can blow 100 on a Rainbow Robe, because that TM is amazing. Your only option there is Reberta as far as global exclusives go, and reberta is a loving house of pain, but wait for christmas and/or a lap on the globex banner, because reberta can be a pain to gear. A lap on the globex banner could be really strong for you if you have the lapis, two guaranteed rainbows is is definitely going to give you options, and there's a strong chance one of them will be a good chainer, which is something you lack at 7 right now.

So, what I'm taking away is: Reberta=good, but hard to gear. Wait for Christmas and another banner (globex??) in order to know who to buy a 2nd of. Be ready to blow moogles on green mage girl for TMR. Also, how do you get STMR? A2 isn't gaining any trust now that I got her TMR.

Annath posted:Wait for Christmas and another banner (globex??) in order to know who to buy a 2nd of. The global exclusive banner is up right now, it's got a bunch of rainbows in it, pretty much all of which are good, and some of which are limited time units. The step-up is five steps, and the fourth and fifth steps are a 10+1 and a guaranteed rainbow. Almost every unit in the rainbow pool is great, with the worst being probably powercrept before too long, like Olive. STMRs are obtained only by smashing extra copies (two 6 star or 1 7 star) into a 7 star. It's not something you're going to have to worry about for quite a while, barring some exceptional luck.

Annath posted:Only 7* I have right now is A2. Ok, so you're going to be hurting for a while in some respects. There are 6 main roles in the game: Healer:: 7* Lotus Mage Fina is a option for you when we get these UoC tickets and probably not a bad one because AOE reraise is really important in a healer. However at the moment we're not coming across content that demands a healer so much as someone that can remove or protect against stop/charm. Tank:: Sieghard is going to be your tank and for most content he'll be fine as a either a Magic or Physical tank though because he can't keep the AOE magic part up you'll probably want to try and get an actual dedicated Magic tank at some point. Buffer: You'll want to try to pull somoene that buffs the ATK/DEF/MAG/SPR of the party. Ignis, Zargabaath, CG Nichol are the best right now. I have no idea who dethrones CG Nichol once his 7* hits but I'm sure someone does and that's someone you'll want to pull greatly for. Breaker: Similar to a buffer, a breaker is a pretty key unit. Sieghard has a full break but it's not very strong and it's also only ST. Ideally you'll want 2B, Auron, CG Lid, or Loren for those really strong 70% or better, AOE breaks. One of the new Christmas units could be on this list as well we gotta see how strong their breaks are. Physical (ATK) DPS: A2 is pretty good in this role but she has a couple flaws and you'll be hurting for chaining partners. There's lot of options for this so don't jump the gun right away and UoC someone. A2 will last you for a good bit of content. The big names coming down the pipe here to look for are: Fei and Citan from the Xenogears banner, Jecht from the FF12 banner, and Akstar. Magic(MAG) DPS: Right now you have Emperor. He is 100% NOT worth a UoC ticket. Really the best, and only choice here is to try and get Elly from the Xenogears banner because she's really drat good and you'll have plenty of chaining partners for her. Conclusion: None of your units right now are worth using a UoC ticket on except Lotus Mage Fina. Sephiroth will be in ~2 months time. In the meantime, save for Xenogears banner to try and get Fei/Elly and the FF12 banner for Auron/Jecht. Find a buffer somewhere, even a 6* Ramza or Roy would be better than the nothing you have now. If they put Basch and Lotus Mage Fina on the same banner I'd say try for that one but they split them up and paired them with a bunch of characters that aren't doing anything for you. Annath posted:So, what I'm taking away is: Reberta is fine but she's never going to get better and only going to get worse at this point. Christmas banner could have some good units for you on it, gotta wait to see what these new units actually do. You should be stock piling your moogles into as many 100%s as you can get. Although you will want to use one of those 100%s on Sieghard(do his moogle container first). STMRs are only gained from additional copies of the original unit. Essentially copies 3 and 4 can be mushed into a 7*(usually formed using 2 copies), to get the STMR. PaybackJack fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Dec 12, 2018 |

I can 7* Reberta, Zarg, Barb, Circe, or Ellesperis with the select tickets. Or I can wait until the rest of the freebie 5*s come in and see if I can 7* a lucky pull, or just get my first GL Sakura or Freyvia. My current 7* roster:  I can also make Roy 7* right now, but...why bother?

I have her shield from the event and her TMR as well. If you have a 21O from Nier, Mechanical Heart is a must-have for your tank. That event just ended, so it's not completely out there to see if you might have one. Guy and Amarant have Hill Digger (HP +30%, ATK+ 10%) and HP +30%, respectively. You can always craft +10% stat materia with the blueprints from the silver chests. Several of the common Type-0 units have good defensive materia. That's a good start. GrandpaPants posted:How big of a difference in ATK is worth switching from DW to (T)DH? Depends on the individual unit's bonuses and your materia. Generally, you'll get two separate 30% bonuses with dual wielding as opposed to a 50% bonus from doublehanding. Dual wielding is half your ATK/MAG (as applicable) plus modifiers for each attack and ability, while doublecasting is your full stat twice plus modifiers. The slightly higher total dual bonuses for newer dual wielding units and equipment is meant to offset the powerful but harder to get doublehanding stuff, which can max out the total allowable bonus percentage pretty quick with two Marshal Gloves and a Buster Style. Annath posted:Only 7* I have right now is A2. Marie is fine until you get better units. She's purely a green mage though so all she can do is protect but not tank. There are more efficient choices to bring along. Unless you're saying you prismed your only Marie, in which case, maybe you shouldn't have done that, but you'll be fine.

Enhanced 7* Zarg is really strong if you can have him limit break every few turns, I just wish his limit break added quickening for at least one turn after it so his rotations flowed properly. Rejuvenate is busted, it is a full heal with 50% MP refresh that leaves a strong HoT and MoT AND gives the unit reraise. Its so busted he can function as your primary healer as long as you aren't getting smashed by aoes. His MP refresh is so strong that I dump one of each dps and they have no issues maintaining high burn outputs

So the Pick Your Unit tickets I just got, are they what I should use to get Lotus Mage Fina? Or is there another set of tickets coming? But it sounds like I should save my lapis for pulling for the Xenogears banner and the (I assume you meant FF10) Banner for Auron/Ject. So my lineup should be looking towards: A2, Sieghard, Lotus Mage Fina, Emperor (to be replaced by Elly), 2B (stuck at 6*) or Auron (if I can get 2 of him) and then I guess... CG Nichol (is there just Nichol and his CG version, or are there a variety of Nichols?)
