Board 8 > Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius Topic 28 - Ready, Wilhelm, and Abel

(+) Yeah! (+)

Gilgamesh beaten, but with items

I'm not too fussed because I think going in with a full party of 6 will make things much easier

Getting the sword and atk 30 will help greatly i reckon.

The esper trial for large sword mastery is the one to watch out for now.
---

Hmmm, this is my theoretical maximum with olive.

While I like it, seems like dual world units are preferable over even this. I guess she'll be blasting good true shots after crushing blows.

Ifrit's Claw from the trial is a good substitute accessory. ( ATK+30, HP +10%+ null blind.)
---

I maxed out Asagi 1's Molt, High Tide, and half of Phantom Shadow. Asagi 2 I only maxed out Area Blast, halfway through Lightspeed and haven't touched Crushing Blow

Oh also halfway through Seven's Osmoselash

AHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M SO ****ING WASTEFUL
---

You could have avoided Hightide since Chizuru doesn't really use her LB often enough, nor is that useful, to justify the cost.

Avoid upgrading CB beyond +1 for now since you can't exploit the 75% lightning reduction.
---

How much mag is needed before Seven can really start hitting hard with Osmoselash? Not sure if I need to bump her up the list on who gets my mag pots or not, since most of my good mag gear is being used elsewhere (can swap it around during the Ultros trial though, I doubt Dark Fina will be of much use there).
---

I haven't finalized where I want to end, but try 350-400 MAG for yourself. (I am close to 400 myself.)
---

Oh, that's not too bad. I was thinking I needed to get her up to like 600 or something. Thanks!
---

That's only to ensure you cripple Rems.
---

Oh, I'm not using her in the arena, I can nuke any R.E.M.'s that appear unless they Siphon Delta first turn. I'm looking more at things like Ultros. Probably not worth the investment for one trial, but it's only 1 giancryst.
---

Then max out her MAG. You are not going to run low on MAG pots anyway unlike HP.
---

I'm assuming that with Fryevia's version of Osmoslash and Seven, that should dry out Ultros pretty fast. I think Typhon was weak to ice as well. One of the Espers provided a similar MP drain iirc (single target), so that should be an added boost too.
---

man, you're really focused on this Ultros trial. is the reward for it that good or something?
---

Beating Ultros and Typhoon and satisfying the conditions yields:

- Hero's Shield, +48 DEF/+20% All Element Resistance. (For just beating them.)

- Rod Mastery.

- Materia | [7 Hits] 180% Water/Wind Magic +25% MND ignore
+100% All Status Effects (Max: 3) - 60 MP.
---

I want to be prepped and ready to go right when it drops. The rewards being good is just a bonus!
---

finally used up all my bahamut coins.
i have potential for a seventh Gungnir and third Equip H Armor.
i'm trying to think of a situation where either is useful.

DW spear situation... need 8. 6 + Holy Lance + Bahamut work. if i did a full party and needed 10, i guess?
a party with a bunch of heavy armor for elemental immunities i guess? though 3 without H Armor in that situation is uh... possible, i guess. Snow and CoD stand out there.
---

I just sold everything, which depressingly didn't amount to much. I still have 20 Draco Spike and 20 Crimson Blood Moogles though, if I ever pull Zyrus or Reberta.
---

oh i'm totally keeping 20 of those two. that's a fantastic rod and spear with a high chance that i'll get another Zyrus down the road.

i think i'm gonna just sell all 20 gungnir because my cheese strategy is fine with 4x Nine + Minfilia and i only have 4 Nine and 1 DW right now. Second Knife/Abel's TMR if i get him would just reduce the need for more spears anyway. so i think 6 is the magic number right now.

from there i think i'll just get rid of the H Armor for space that i don't have. Setzer cheese and Nine cheese are totally the two strategies i'm going to employ in the future for bosses.

Summary for those of us that can't access it?

Kid loves his snazzy Anzelm, and doesn't want to use the grandpa he pulled because he doesn't look cool.
---

Basically this kid has the following base 5*s:

Orlandeau
Noctis
Olive
Gilgamesh
Dark Fina
Ramza
Elza

But would still rather use Anzelm over any of them. Even stating that Orlandeau doesn't look cool enough.

So essentially how an uninformed casual player would be like. Kind of how like you'd see those scrubs in the Record Keeper raids bringing in Cloud and Squall or Tyro and White Mage.
---

Why do you post things that make me hate
---

5 straight losses in the arena

Alright that's it I need a sign of good luck or third time's the charm.
---

JP updates:

Murasame and the dark bow now have 110+ counterparts.

Popoi *6.

Leviathan is geared towards mages and melee.

It felt random since he got his enhancements a few months ago at best.

Welp

I wasted time mastering Sakurafubuki

And Popoi really? Is he any good?

Uhh

That random move
---

Yea, I don't get why either.
---

Ok sounds like I will only ever need 3 sakurafubukis.

Should speed up tmr grinding
---

2 at most with Genji around.

Add to that the Murasame upgrade.

"one."
more like you farmed one TMR by accident.

i'm laughing right now because i actually did buy his unique weapon and never sold it. throw weapon that's +28 ATK and +75 MAG. i imagine that his quality depends on you having that or not. he also had an exclusive materia, Mana, that... honestly sucked. was +55% ATK for 2 turns but... he doesn't have anything that uses his attack stat. even his 6* doesn't look like it'd use that.

with the new passives he's at...

+30% MP
+20% HP
+50% MAG

as for whether he's good or not, he's pretty unique in that he has 7/8 elements on him. the bad character moves would help determine that otherwise. doubt he's anything particularly special but that's pretty neat.
---

...well shit.
pulled Zyrus for my daily.
now i have two Draco Spikes. knew those 20 moogles were saved for good reason!

Holy **** what, XIV March On Titan Raid Event coming up next! I was NOT expecting that! Guess they want everybody to get Minfilia and Y'shtola. Usual Raid rules, stuff you. And get from the Raid Token Banner is equipment for Yda and Papalymo

There's a Raid Summon Banner for the XIV Raid too bad it's glitches for me, showing Wilhelm's instead. More info later

True Titan Battle available at the same time. Missions are use white magic (LMAO), no items (uh oh), and kill Titan with Esper (everybody got the timing down by now right?). In addition, a super adorable Windup Titan is our reward for the Esper one (SPR +30, Earth Res + 30%, and Null Stone), and 5% Moogle for all units when you clear it

Chamber of Crystals boo

Finally, Maintenance on 31-May Wednesday 23:00 to 1-Jun Thursday 07:00. Geez they keep throwing us these 8 hour maintenances
---

More like to sync with FF14 getting stuff soon.

Still, I do suggest building up mats for Yda, since there are more of those use x skill, unlock stuff.

Oh, forgot Yda got a diet-Shine tmr.

And some of Yda's kata(The skill enabler) don't work with DW.
---

i'm assuming it's gonna be super nerfed from the Japanese version as they got this raid battle much later than us. otherwise nobody's beating ELT outside of whales.
---

Ahh here we go, Raid Summon XIV announcement

Good news, the units themselves can be summoned from the coin banner, on top of being a reward from the Raid itself

Yda is a 4*-6* physical attacker, but what I'm far more interested in is her TMR Spirit of Freedom (chance of physical evasion and attack +15%), how high evasion chance are we talking about?

Papalymo is a 4*-6* Mage unit. TMR Sage's Prajna (HP+10% and MAG + 20%) isn't too exciting, but should be useful for Zyrus and such until we get better ones

LMAO Thancred
---

10% dodge.
---

wait what.
they're essentially going to give away +10% dodge and +15 ATK in one TMR? man, that's one way to tell everyone to max out Chizuru. 40% post-enhancements, +10% from that one katana, 2-4 of those + some evasion equipment and you're good.

the magic bonus is great too, mages often are missing HP so this will be great.
---

Looks like Twenty Sided Die is my next Focus target TMR then

100% evasion here I come
---

The drop rates however were supposedly lower, so take that with a grain of salt.
---

eh

hard to get too excited about this event

Raids are the second best event types man

Busting the balls of an oversized rock man who can punt you to the afterlife after exposing his chest doesn't? :O
---

Raids are good, but the rewards for this one are mediocre.

This could have been the nier raid instead D:
---

Grace and Terra.
---

Wait, you pulled twice?
---

I wouldn't mind a free 10% evasion TMR or two. The update note mentioned that units that draw attacks were helpful. If only we had something like WoL 6* that we should have had a while ago!

Does Wilhelm draw attacks? Maybe they're trying to con people into going nuts on his banner?
