Board 8 > Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius Topic 22 - Shine Get

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah I have Nine equipped with Steal and Thief Bracer as my friend. Not planning on spending any cactuars leveling him up though, so he'll be someone you just need to carry.
---

Also sounds like Cactuar Dunes got buffed so each stage can drop multiple cactuars.

Too bad it's during a grind event.
---

It's ALWAYS during a grind event nowadays >_>

Forgot to mention, I changed my Friend unit to Queen for the event. She's still level 32 but she's 6* and has Dual Wield

I'll focus on maxing her out as soon as possible

Ditto, minus the dual wield.
---

....

Pissed, but can't rightfully be pissed right now. Still can't freaking pull a Type-0 on my main.

Enough to actually buy the man-eater materia instead of the planned spear which is reflected on my improved Luneth. >_<
---

that type 0 daily special may have been a good deal if it came with a summon ticket
---

Made another 10 ticket pulls.

down to an even 20.

Got no 9s. Life sucks, time to rebuild.
---

Nine I have as a friend unit has Steal. Can pull a consistent 500 Phantoma on Pro.
---

I'm getting 600 perr, but doing too much damage turn 1 screws things up.
---

I can run Pro pretty easy with just Noctis/Exdeath/Refia. They can all tank the hit from the last boss, and Refia can take care of anyone that gets paralyzed.

Haven't run into the bonus guy yet.
---

how much do you get Pro run doing that?

I'm struggling to get through ELT because of carrying too many units.
---

Oh, yeah I meant ELT, not PRO. Sorry.

That's an interesting contrast since I run my *5 Olive with a 300+atk friend.

Anything less and it is most likely a wipe due to carrying the rest of the party. ~_~ (The captain is a douche anyway.)

Zidane on the daily.

It took me 17 tickets to get my first Type-0 unit, Cinque.

But my very first ticket somehow got me Dark Fina?
---

Lol.... xD

Seems legit.

Yea, f*** this event. Gonna spend the bgn ticket on the olive banner and hope dailies get my bonus units.
---

Yeah it might make more sense to use tickets on the olive banner, since even extra shines are more useful in the long run than the type 0 units
---

for what it's worth, Seven does make the ELT boss incredibly trivial because he's vulnerable to paralysis and her LB is 100% paralysis.

others, like Noctis' Fire Flask or, i assume, ExDeath's LB also could be used. but Noctis' isn't 100% guaranteed and i haven't bothered to try ExDeath's. Dark Fina's ailment effect only seems to blind. so far, only Seven has been consistent at it and that's basically 3 turns of pummeling him for free - something just one 500-600 attack unit + buffs/debuffs can handle.
---

luckily my Noctis can solo elite so long as I have a jewelled ring on him, so I'm running nine/eight/2x cinque and getting 800-850 per elite run depending on whether I have a nine or a queen as my friend unit

run into two of the golden bombs and one of the super dude so far
---

alright, Nine is up to 6* and halfway through that.
weekend plan will be getting that Holy Lance so he can actually be a good damage dealer too.
---

Which slot does the super dude replace?
---

None.

He appears as a bonus battle after Brionic.
---

yea, ELT is cake. nice to see that I'm not falling behind.

Exdeath is almost 6*, so I'm working on Chiz next. Time for that 2x shadow chaining *u*
---

Queen maxed out

Didn't even break 500 ATK w/Dual Wield

I need to master Excaliburs, Shines's TMR, Black Cowls, and Bracers fast
---

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSS I FOUND NIMBUS!

...

Wait what the hell?

WHAT THE HELL?

I CAN ONLY STEAL FROM HIM ONCE?

WHAT THE GODDAMN HELL GUMI

At the very least, I can still Libra/Analyze/etc him and get his complete monster entry in the Guide, so that's something.

BUT JUST 350 EXTRA KARMA WHAT THE ****
---

The one time I got a bonus 5*, the event ****ing sucks for getting stuff

I might not even get half the stuff from the list

The only notable stuff is Phantasmal Blade, Vitality Apparatus and the usual suspects.

Nine and Queens materia maybe.
---

Elite is hard to carry with lightning and Queen.

Noctis or olive make this easy, but only a 500 phantoma return.

I've drained an entire stamina clip with not a single nimbus in sight.

This sucks I only have 15k phantoma. Seven better be useable next week.
---

Doubt it. Each Type-0 banner uses their own, so expect Rem and King for the next one. No Queen. No Nine, nor Ace.
---

So someone has seen a Nimbus. I've been running nothing but the event and still haven't found him. Was starting to think he was a myth!
---

I encountered him once on Trisen; Just happened to be when I didn't have steal equipped...
---

Encountered him once yesterday. Stole from him and he left without a fuss.

Today I encountered him again though, and he went crazy I don't know why. Maybe I forgot to lock in to his Imperial Soldier crony and Refia smacked him and drew his ire. Which is weird since I Libra'd him the first day and he stayed docile

It's actually not so bad, since he can only kill two units a turn, and he leaves on his third turn no matter if he's enraged or not. I don't think you can get wiped out from him if you had a full party going in and the Soldier is dead
---

9 is a myth
---

...huh

I ran into a Golden Bomb on the 2nd stage of ELT today that gave an extra ~225 phantoma.

I didn't know this was a thing.

Yea, be bombs are back as well.
---

holy lance get. now Nine is no longer just a carry unit and can contribute to the actual fight.
---

4 more runs.

0 nimbus
---

I've done around 30-40 runs, still no Nimbus.
---

Has the deadline to get a lapis bonus when you buy something with Star Quartz passed yet or not?
---

wow, the oddball side of building up a competitive Nine (was 220~ attack yesterday, got him to 400+ today, no TMR used, can Steal) so fast: holy hell the request count. did clear some space up as some of these are actually really good, though some make the request while being maxed out. weird, but okay.

if i took you off/you took me off, just say so and i'll add you back. hell, if you don't have me just add me and tell me who you are.

Still haven't found a Golden Bomb >_>
---

This is getting ridiculous, 2 full days of hard grinding and no Nimbus.
---

Found a golden Bomb

GODDAMMIT

Ran into this ****ing team with a Ling and 4 Olives. They kept getting first turn so I'm dead by the second turn
---

I completed two TMs today, second MAG +30% and Champion's Belt. Now my Firion is up to 785 ATK, so close. They will be replaced with two of my three shines. But I think I will work on the event over TM grinding now.
---

So for some reason my Monster Guide says I've killed a Nimbus, yet I never did in both encounters. Once he left me in peace, then on the second occasion he went nuts, then on the 3rd turn he left.
---

Hng....

I think this is what the RNGodess had in mind.

Still can't pull a banner unit for Trisen.

Fiyun got a second Chizuru.
---

should eventually try to add Fiyun.

I'll likely go for 30k today, then just do the Cactuar dunes and wait for my whales to get their queen sorted.

Highest Queen I've seen is 586, but someone has a 622 Nine.
---

Highest Queen I've seen is 794

But my team of:

Asagi/Odin w/Dual Wield + Sakurafubuki + Blade Mastery
Trash Cinque/Golem
Queen/Ifrit w/Dual Wield
Refia/Carbuncle w/Dualcast
Exdeath/Ramuh
Friend Trash Queen

Can carry even a level 1 Queen through ELT

I dunno if I want to bother trying to try pulling for Nine or Eight

3? I've done nothing but the event since it started and I haven't seen 1. What's your secret?!

You can wait until after the event if you want since I haven't planned on getting Olive to *6 until after at earliest.

You don't have to if you can produce ~500 white phantoma since there isn't a whole lot worth it this time.
