Board 8 > Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius Topic 32 - Ashes to Ashes

(+) Yeah! (+)

Damn that's pretty art. If I could trade in my box for one unit it's be Fryevia, just because she looks badass and is one of the few characters in JRPGs to use a rapier, and for the most part, use it properly!

I'm trying it right now with Rikku / Wilhelm / Tilith / Maxwell / Fryevia / Fryevia . I think my biggest issue is MP usage, I'm not sure if I can sustain this. I think I'm not chaining the Fryevia right because I'm not doing a lot of damage.

I had to give up. Eventually it got to a point where Rikku just wasn't getting her limit bar filled so slowly she and tillith died and there was no coming back from that. Seems like a tank is useless, I may as well bring in someone who can debuff than use Wilhelm. Also, maybe I should have been using Tilith's move to heal hp and mp? I was scare to since it costs so much and she doesn't recover anything.
---

I suppose WoL might be better than Wilhelm here since he can break SPR.
---

Yeah you should be using Tilith's MP recovery move, but you have to have enough regen to get close to 99MP a turn.
---

Sure, but I don't see people putting a bunch of MP regen stuff on Tilith. I guess I'll need to look into it more.
---

wut?

Tilith's #1 thing is MP regen. That and HP are pretty much all she cares about
---

Don't know what to tell you, most Tilith builds I've seen posted even for this boss has her with +% HP or +% MP.
---

My only MP battery was Tilith. I had to toss an elixir at her once because she was almost dead after one of the thresholds, but that was it. Mine recovers around 50 MP per turn. WoL was outstanding for this fight, between armor eraser, Raise, and the Light is with us. I had Rikku's pouch on him as well so he could use Eccentric, and free up Rikku for Synthesis/Hyper Nullall/Limit.

Where are the units spaced for you? I put my Fry in slot 3, and then the friend is just one over. I tap mine and tap the friend as quickly as possible, and can usually get into the 20s.
---

They are in the bottom slots of each row. I might have been doing it right? I think I was getting a spark chain but I could not tell.

Wilhelm does bring his own LB and the LB charge buff for Rikku, but maybe overall WoL is better here.
---

Looking at my friend list, I've got 1 822 MAG Rem with Ramuh equipped. Is that the best she can be?
---

Not even close. I've had mine well over that when I give her Fryevia's gear. Do you need a high Mag Rem for the trial? I can set mine up and gear her for the night/day if you're looking for one.
---

Ooh yes please
---

Any specific element, or non-elemental?

Looks like I can get her to 1010 with Ice elemental, checking non elemental with draco spike now. Wish I had finished Mateus' Malice, but that's about a week out still.

Nonelemental she's at 937. Going to be pretty squishy since I haven't given her any tough pots.
---

What are the options available?

Ice seems good if Rikku and Tidus has a free turn

... uhh, Aigaion isn't resistant to Ice is he?

The body isn't (it was weak, but they boosted it for GL). I think the arms are 50% resistant to it though.

I can get 1010 with Ice, 937 with non-elemental (and 4171 HP), or 946 with around 400-600 less HP.

I can also do water (916 mag), but hitting Aigaion with water is asking for trouble.
---

Better go with NE then
---

Sounds good. Would you prefer a little more Mag or a little more HP?
---

Err sorry got busy

Let's beef her HP up a bit
---

Not a problem! She's all set for HP (at least for now, my arena board didn't have a single tough pot on it). I've never actually used her in content like this, so hopefully she can be of some use. Good luck!
---

Test run reveals that, luck willing, I can outlast Aigaion

It's going to take like 9+ hours though

100% evasion Tidus cycles Get Pumped! And Blitz Mania

Ashe spams Heaven's Fury

Maxwell spams... uhh... that self revive Song she has

Tilith spams Prism Heal

Rikku cycles Synthesis and Hyper Nul-all

Zero's Rem spams Dagger Boomerang

Repeat Ad infitum
---

I'll eventually borrow your Fry for chain shenanigans, Zero, but not right now.

does she have an attack lower than 515, btw?
---

Left arm dead yay!

Pew, Pew, Zing!

God I hate this so much
---

Ugh I give up

Feel free to change back to Fryevia, I don't have the party for this ****
---

huh.
these new bundles are something.

$25:
4* ticket
ATK +30%
10 tickets
20 restore 10 NRG potions
10% trust moogle

another offer is crystallized ticket. 350 lapis for ticket + a giancryst. the cryst will change daily and today's is power.
---

also got a new bonus for the anniversary. god we're spoiled right now.

if you complete all daily quests between 7/21 - 7/28 you'll get 100 lapis. don't know if that really means "all" or not, from what i'm seeing it's the usual complete 5 daily one that normally gave out 50 lapis. but i'll do both anyway.
---

finally... doing a bit of math here...

$25 is the cost.
10 tickets + 4* guarantee is basically a twisted form of a 10+1. one where you can pick when to use each summon, at that.

the NRG potions is basically 2 full restores, only you can choose when to use it. these are nice if you're grinding a certain event or something.

moogle is a good moogle.
ATK +30% still holds good value.

this isn't a mind blowing bundle but there's a lot of customization on the user's end and it overall seems good. even if you stack different offers (e.g., amazon coins or itunes cards), i don't think you're going to quite hit the 10+1 for an equivalent of $25. the rest of the stuff you could technically grind or wait for. like nothing says you can't just grind out Maxwell if you haven't yet, though here you'd get it as a freebie.


then there's the matter of EX Points.
if you bought the last one, you got 48 points.
this one puts you over 50, which gets you another EX Summon Ticket. worth mentioning, if you're effectively a dolphin.
---

Hmm... might drop Tidus for WoL... and maybe I can beef up Tilith's MP and regen up even more...

Also does Story Event count for Vortex?
---

that new bundle is legit. $25 for a 10+1 worth of tix, 10% moogle, +30%atk and 200 nrg.

the 350 Lapis for a ticket + giancryst actually seems decent too.
---

also if anyone would rather I use a different friend unit this week, let me know, as Orlandeau isn't that useful at the moment

I could use Ace with 842 MAG (though he might be too squishy), Tilith with 5.1k hp and 77 mp regen or Rikku with definitely not enough LB enhancements
---

Should have used those many burst pots for Rikku ;)
---

Oh, her LB is maxed, I mean gear to make her LB rate go up. I only have the one fist weapon and one Mog TMR on her

She's in the mid 400s, will drop even lower once I finish Mateus' Malice
---

I think my Fryevia is decently suited for this fight. 952 MAG and only 359 ATK
---

Daily pull was a gold! Got another Nine. Bleah.

Also, glorious glorious Gil Snappers. I don't even have anything worth enhancing, I'm just spending all my gil doing expeditions. Those are costly little buggers. I hate to burn 30 NRG a run, but I've spent nearly 400k on expeditions after selling all my Snapper pulls from the raid. I'm hoping the next Raid will be a bit more generous with money, because as soon as some Enhancements hit that I want, my money is going to be really hurting.

I'm also really relieved at how much easier the vault keys are to get. The Earth Vault was just awful to complete, while I blew through the Gale Vault in half a day, and everything I could get from the Flamering Vault without completing Mysidia. Looks like I get to spend my NRG on story chapters after all, assuming I don't blow it all on Gil Snapper runs or A Promise Beyond Time for crysts.

Huh

I had no idea you could build Fryevia to have 1000+ MAG

Huh

Those letters and arms do much work.

Sadly, I has noNE of the big TMS to make her work, so she's stuck at 600 for me right now :P

Her BiS is something around 1060 right now iirc. If I could just get a second one of her like so many others in the Fryeviarmy seem to have, I could have mine pretty close to that (around 1040).
---

Went with Tilith as my friend unit for this week. Not sure how many people already have 2x chainers in their own roster, so I'm not sure how useful she'll be, but probably moreso than Orlandeau.
---

Is there any reason to keep trash units that you've finished their TMs?

I thought I heard something about trading them in in Japan for stuff but I also might have made that up.

I want to start dumping these Zidanes and stuff.
---

I know they talked about wanting to allow us to do something with 100% TMR units, but I don't actually think anything was ever implemented, even in JP.
---

Guess we'll just have to keep waiting
---

I beat Aigaion with all missions done! The key was bringing in Warrior of Light, I guess in this one special instance he's better than Wilhelm. Hardest part was probably right after the body died, fighting the right arm after that was a little tough.
---

I really can't wait to start taking on these trials legit. They seem difficult and a bit time consuming, but well worth the effort and a lot of fun to triumph over. Granted, I really want to run the robot trial just so I can get some good gear for either Tidus or Aileen, but I know that's still a long, long ways away. I'm assuming I'll need several TMR's spread across my party to even have a chance of surviving, much less doing enough damage to actually win?

In fact, when can I reasonably expect to be able to take on certain trials? I've trounced a number of the early ones, and I imagine I can tackle the ADV and maybe even PRO levels of some of the earlier ones. But I also know they're as much about preparation as they are execution, and the preparation is, I assume, the longest part to deal with. Oh well, more time for story and slowly raking in moogles.
---

Congrats Ganon. Wish Tidus wasn't relegated to Support much and I had a better Mana Battery.

Anyway, Natwaf VS Aigaion take 2, this time I ditched Ashe who kept dying left and right for WoL and a 1038 MAG friend Fryevia. Less luck involved since everybody is beefy as **** and Tilith can cycle Prism Heal and Radiant Light when needed.
---

Goddammit I lost track of how many times I killed Left Arm already.
---

Apparently Emperor is the true DPS hero for this trial if you don't have two Fry's to chain. Trying to find out what the build is for that. Mine isn't even 6* or potted yet, but he'll get there eventually.
---

100% camouflage + SPR and MAG up the wazoo
---

Score, I already have camouflage. Thanks! Maybe I'll bump Emperor up the list of who gets my mag and spr pots. His enhancements for Fire from Below or whatever it's called look pretty great too.
