Board 8 > Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius Topic 42 - Cloud Nine

(+) Yeah! (+)

So, I got an ace from the daily pull yesterday.
What the hell do I do with a pair of aces?
(Besides beat you in poker)?
---

7* Ace in-waiting complete.
---

After the Delita a few days ago, my wife got Ayaka on her daily today.

Another real world friend got both Trance Terra and Tidus from daily/free yesterday.

Real world megawhale friend is on is 4th Cloud (unless it shows things you've summoned after 24 hours, I've seen his name pulling a 5* Cloud every morning since the banner went live)

Sometimes I hate the ticker at the bottom!
---

my dailies (both paid and free) have been complete garbage this week

its why I dont usually bother with dailies!
---

My friend who pulled Zarg/Ayaka on the free/daily the other day just pulled Nyx off his free.

Thats the same with mine (though my dailies and especially frees are generally trash).

Happy for my wife though. She actually ran up to me holding her phone and grinning like a kid on Christmas to show me Ayaka. She went all in on her and came up empty.
---

Rainbow off the free daily today, it was my third Noctis.

Methinks the game is telling me to make a Ring of the Lucii soon. Just need one more for that Super TMR too!
---

I got a Tidus today. That's pretty nice.

I was probably going to grab Artisan as my 2nd TMR, but now I'm kinda split. Probably still going to focus on Aileen, but I guess I'll level Tidus up and see how well he works first.
---

Does bahamut give more attack to characters than Odin?
---

Yeah, he's the best we have for pretty much everything right now
---

I think I am 3 Espers behind right now. I still need Tetra Sylph, and I know Bahamut, and I think Fenrir.
---

I just looked at super whale facebook friends shared Cloud, trying to figure out how he only had him at 700 Atk. Maybe his other 3 Cloud's are properly geared, but that's just ridiculous.

He's dual wielding Cloud. While using Buster Style. And Elfreeda's TMR.
---

I had Cloud Dual Wielding with Rikku's pouch as a joke until I realized he's probably not going to be a core member of my team and as such doesn't need his limit upgraded immediately, and raised him to 6*

Random question I noticed Agnes Oblige is in JP as a White Mage. Do we think we'll be getting that? I don't see why we wouldn't but yeah. Kinda thinking I'm going to save all my non-daily draw mythril and tickets for her and hope to get 2.

That's Bravely Default, right? If so I would assume we get that, that series did pretty well over here from what I recall.
---

Yeah Bravely Default. It came out last July or something in JP. No idea when it comes out here-- of course she doesn't have 7* in JP either and maybe that'll be completely underwhelming but whatever. Not many appealing White Mages in this game (or series, really) so I gotta go for the good ones when I can.

They did say they were going to try bring it to us earlier. (Which we can take with a grain of Nier Automata salt.)

Looks like JP added a new apex healer. (Curaja/reraise. )

Santa Roselia 5-7*.

Adds break AoE removal, 80% AoE spr/def and break proof, counters, good regen for hp/mp.

And some other goodies like 100% ice/holy imperil I can post later.

(What did I say about the old man... =_=.)
---

Whats the verdict on Dark Knight Cecil, particularly with someone who has Dark Veritas?
---

If you got 3 units with dark weapons. Rip and tear when you can get mileage out of enhanced DKC.

Also....

Don't wanna..

oh wow the new batch of ability enhancements has me pretty hyped.
WoL, Nine, Rem, Orlandeau?

but especially Rem.
she's very different than the Japanese version. in Japan she got elemental spells enhanced, Undying Wish's buffs, and half of Sharp Resolution. the +2 version is what the +1 version we're getting looks like. our +2 version doesn't exist there (high boost to MAG and SPR, another HP boost).

we got boosts to Raise and Curaga. if it's anything like Garnet, she'll have almost a full life Raise on her and a really strong but not Curaja strong spell.

last but not least, Dagger Boomerang is GL exclusive.
she's totally looking to be at the top of best finishers of the game again.
---

ooh Orlandeau enhancements.

also is that literally just fucking gilbert on the banner
---

Do King's awakenings make his attacks go on longer?
---

Nope.

His self-raise becomes more reliable and he gets buffed up.
---

Free got me Shadow.
Daily is a rainbow. Come on Wilhelm or Cloud, Wilhelm or Cloud.

What the fuck am I supposed to do with Olive? 300 pulls on this banner now, 7 rainbows, 1 on banner. Hopefully the on banner luck switches over for CG Sakura!
---

Prep her lb since her enhancements are not far off.
---

Are her enhancements going to be worthwhile? I already have enhanced Luneth and Fixed Dice Fire Veritas.

On the bright side, I've pulled so many Jeans during this last banner that I almost have her TMR from fusion for non-elemental options.

I have 105% in Moogles right now, but I don't think it's worth dropping them on Olive.
---

Olive can wait.

We don't know yet, but True Shot should be at least on par with the finisher standards these days.

After that I can only guess as is since she will most likely have an burst boost either from her enhancements, or from her 7*.

Going to go more into minigun later since I have been busy irl. And other stuff dragon wrote the other day.
---

i assume she'll get upgrades to her DH ability similar to Demon Rain's. which is to say 150% TDH.
---

I'm almost finished grinding these TMRs I started when I got Olive a little while ago. It seems silly now, considering I won't be using Olive immediately. At least these TMRs, like Desch's Earrings are good on other people. And soon I can start grinding up these Pirate Rings.
---

Really hoping we get some amazing holiday bundles

These rem boosts seem different from what jp got.

Need time to process if good.

WOL and Orlandeau should be good.
---

WoLs are outstanding. Orlandeau's will bump him back up the chainer lists until the other chainers get theirs, then he'll fall back down the ladder again.

I'm torn on where to use my 4* tickets. I don't need multiples of the 4* units on this limited banner, but I'd like the ice one from the Christmas banner, and I'd really love White Knight Noel. I don't expect him to even be part of the dailies though, I figure he'll be on a side banner like they did for Halloween.

... Right.

Had that nagging feeling I forgot something.

Remember that Rambo-chick with the wtf machine gun?

Olive can now wield it. (But in the process lose her DH bonuses.)

And in other news Olive can now break 1600 attack. :D

the machine gun does ruin her natural DH unfortunately. Sparky still seems to be the better overall build unless you're a massive whale. the (T)DH cap is 300% too so between her 75% natural DH and Sparky's 50% DH, you're "just" needing 175% more. if you throw in Bartz' TMR (50%) and one of the 5* TMRs on this banner, you're at 275 - pretty damn close.

whenever Olive gets enhancements that should push her over. seems obvious that if anything's getting touched up it'll be her DH stuff.

edit:
and this is of course ignoring that Sparky is Lightning damage, whereas Machine Gun+ has no element. i mean yeah she can imbue fire on herself but it's less setup necessary for damage, especially after the last banner had the lightning great sword to go with it elemental bonuses. for now it just looks like she's once again just shy of making the top tier conversations, though at the same time that means she's continued to stay relevant in the meta for that long.

Technically speaking Sparky vs machinegun+ are farily even due to the relatively high damage variance.

I technically did pull Trance Terra and I can now do double Ultima +2 chains with Dark Fina.

That said William has Quake.
Elemental chain + 6* + DC spell + earth imperial should put beyond both you mentioned. It's Earth element Tornado on a 6* max unit.

Aileen enhancements when so I can 75% imperial that too.

Not really now when I found a useful source.

Quake: 3469%

Soul Barrage: 5987%

Orlandeau's are good, but meh all things considered. Something you should get if you don't roll say OK. (Orlandeau will be up there with A2 now pre-lb.)

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/7l25o4/just_how_strong_is_enhanced_orlandeau/

WoL gets standardized.

Light is with us: 3 Turn 75% Chance to Defend Allies from Phys Damage (Reduce +50% Phys./+70% Mag. Damage)

Brave Presence: 3 Turn +100% Chance to be Targeted

Hope: +150% DEF/SPR after HP drops below 30% & +20% SPR

Rem's will be notably better than JP's which were mostly meh at best. (Hope's ga's.)

This almost makes me want to pull for some elfreedas
---

It's more than a change of elements, she's back to DPS healer, with the main DPS in dagger boomerang. That's GL exclusive so this is a good sign.

Again, I'm assuming her healing will be akin to Garnet's.
And we're getting another stat buff Japan didn't get so she's likely looking to break 1k mag with ease.
---

That is...a lot of characters I have to enhance. WoL and Rem for sure, maybe one Orlandeau? I'd honestly rather save the crysts for Tidus, but Orlandeau's just been so much more useful to me. Which has nothing at all to do with the fact that I have two. Nope, not at all.

>_>

What in the actual... that's not even glass cannon status either, he's got the hp, spirit, and defense to back it up too.

Mystea is really good in the Bahamut fight right? I really need to get on that soon.
