Board 8 > Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius Topic 29: A Gathering of Maids, Octopuses and Espers

(+) Yeah! (+)

Remember that the odds of getting Elza are 1/400 since there are two 5*s on the banner.
---

I like those odds
---

incoming epic Ziss video trying to get the new 5.
---

First rule: never tell me the odds
---

I used Tilith as my healer for the longest time. I didn't pull Refia until sometime in February I think, but even then I still didn't (and still don't) have a copy of Dual Cast. It'll be awesome to have her back on the team.
---

Pulled Luneth before Refia.

That was a weird stretch.
---

I remember voltch's healerless days

good times
---

I will have 275% bonus out the gate for the BF event since I have Maxipad, Elza, Tilith. Should I run Max or Elza as a friend for the event?

Also, what will be the best setup for Maxwell? Dual Wield? I have Demon Scythe from Elza's Trust, does that do anything in regards to Maxwell's Light attack moves?
---

So the Maxwell portion hits week two? Trying to figure out when I'll get a free 100% bonus.
---

That's how it was last time, yeah.

Keep in mind that getting Maxwell is not a freebee, it was a huge pain in the ass last time around and depending how she gets buffed this time, it might be just as much of a pain again.
---

I believe you need to summon Diablos during the battle?
---

God I hope Maxwell is super difficult. I loved that fight the first time.

Yeah, but it was very hard to get enough summon orbs during the fight to do it back then. It might be significantly easier now that we have a lot more units with multi-hit attacks - as long as they don't change the stipulation.
---

Well, that and the fact that Maxwell is light based-and Diabolos gives negative light resist. Putting it on Cecil or WoL is downright necessary.

...I mean, the only way I got her unit was through the app closing cheat (the only boss I've ever done it for), so you can expect that if they buffer her right.

I hope not. I just ignore those now because I can never get the timing right. That'd be a real screwjob, considering the banner is already a huge pain to get the worthwhile unit.
---

(Sorry for the triple post)

I usually time it with Frost Flower Blitz- usually gives enough time for the esper to get its damage in before the kill.
---

She was quite difficult the first time, but a lot of that was due to my lack of a reasonable tank

Imagine with Snow instead of Amarant it'll be a lot more doable. Hopefully the difficulty spike more than offsets that.
---

Yea, same with me. I had only WoL which... wasn't really enough.
---

Having lightning really helped reduce Maxwell difficulty.

I can also see them not even buffing her
---

I mean, I'd be fine with that. Revenge will be sweet.
---

I am so psyched for this banner, even though I know it will probably be a massive disappointment of "why am I playing this game" proportions.
---

I hope I can get Tilith

Her rates are pretty low, how much do you have stocked for her?

I'm kind just getting back into thwe swings of things so i can safely say not a lot
---

Her summon rates are

Daily/Rare Summon Ticket: 1.58%
10+1: 28.2%
4* ticket: 15.83%

On dailies she's only slightly more likely than a rainbow, which makes me sad.
---

But hey, rainbows exist, why not her.

(I wonder if I will actually do a 10+ pull one of these days...)
---

I plan on doing one to start, possibly two if I don't get any bonus units. Not worth the energy to go through King Mog with no bonus units.
---

decided to randomly toss a daily at this banner even though I have no desire for any of the units on it and I got dk cecil!!!! finally a 5* that I LIKE
---

Congratulations!
---

Looks like we are getting a global exclusive FF12 character. Seems like we'll be getting that event soon - probably to coincide with the remake's release.

I'm ready for ~Ashe~
---

i'm ready for Dr. Cid
---

Global Exclusive FF12 character c'mon Dr Cid.
---

It's Zargabath

That's one of the judges because no one actually knows that
---

I thought our exclusive XII character was Judge Zargabaath
---

Watch it be Gabranth and be identical to Basch, only in Judge armor lol?
---

*Googles him*

Well he's the only judge in the game that does not die.
---

How good is 6* Maxwell?
---

Competent.
Best thing she has is her LB chaining with Cid.
Otherwise, eh, mostly cause spear Mastery is not a thing and her gear choices are bleh
---

She's supposed to be pretty amazing in Arena (except against other Maxwells and Cecils).
---

so looking at it i -think- so, but this is a totally different event and i won't have the chance to get maxwell now right?

Sure you will.

Pull her.
---

she isn't listed on the banner in the announcements
---

Most likely they're gonna bring back her trial in the second half of the event

you can get her then.
---

You can't pull Maxwell

They'll be bringing back Maxwell's Trial later

Anyway, Shantotto done. Between Dual Wield, Rod Mastery, Echidna's Kiss, and MAG +30%, I think that's the best I can do for Zyrus. Now for Vanille.

1st Quick Assault 87.3%
2nd Letters and Arms 48.6%
3rd Dual Wield 48.4%
1st Magistral Crest 0.2%
2nd Quick Assault 6.1%

maaaaaybe I'll stop Quick Assault at 90% for a 10% Trust Moogle
---

oh WOW, I beat the shark and used the ticket from it for fun and drew Reberta!
---

.....

So, of all characters they pick one you only encountered in the international version.
---

Ugh...

Should I spend the 100ish energy to go back through the second to last Story Mission for the Healing Purecryst? I was so focused on the other Mission I completely forgot to use Black Magic during one of the quests.
---

... wait, all this time I was thinking of Judge Bergan

Drace was the one Vayne offed

I know we fought Ghis

Gabranth is Gabranth

Which one was Zargabaath again
