Board 8 > Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius Topic 35 - A2, Brute?

(+) Yeah! (+)

How long till the following, mistair, ayaka, beatrix and that hard what's his face...roy?

If possible I'd like to head into ffix with over 100 tickets.
---

Ayaka ~6 weeks
Roy ~10 weeks
Mistair ~13 weeks
Beatrix ~16 weeks
---

Ok this isn't good
---

Wait is Mistair 5*?

Is there a poor man's version of a Magic tank if he is?
---

He is 4*
---

Mistair is a *4 like WoL. Basch the phys and mag tank is *5.
---

Only 6ish weeks until Ayaka? TOO CLOSE NEED MORE TIME.
---

Yeah skipping ayaka, the only one that got me to pull during the nier hoarding was ffx cos I wanted rikku and tidus.

Only got rikku
---

Oh good

Sorry BD, I need me some Mistair so that's where my tickets go now
---

Fuck, anything in the 16 week range likely clashes with Christmas stuff.

That could be guaranteed 5s I guess.
---

Looks like I can save 1750 Lapis on daily pulls for the next week at least, and hopefully longer if the coming weeks are still rather pointless. I might continue to use excess tickets on the Nier Banner in hopes of A2 though.

After this next week it's back to saving tickets until probably Basch or Onion Knight I'm guessing.
---

Ilias maxed out

Come the **** on Great Malboro
---

And on that note, my remaining 6* capable units I haven't maxed out are:

4* 9S (Burst Pot candidate)
4* Adam
5* Bran
4* Eve
4* Helena
4* Meliadoul
4* Rasler
5* Veritas of the Earth (Burst Pot candidate)

Discounting clones of course

I don't condone clones

That King Burst Pot can't come here soon enough, I want to finish up VoE already
---

Oh, whoops, forgot 6* Kelsus still hasn't been maxed out yet.

Unless you finish the rest I would suggest to put the highlighted ones on the back burner since the units themselves aren't that useful. (Unless you really fancy them of course.)
---

I'll take that under advisement

I've also got these future 6* (and 1 5* that might be useful) units to max out:

3* Heltich
4* Rosa
5* Ruggles
4* Timothy (Burst Pot candidate)
4* Ulrica
4* Wakka

Wakka is annoying because I'm still out of Quality Parts

Oh well, between Cactuar Dunes and the Raid Coin summons I think I can max out most of the current 6* including Popoi.
---

I will toss in my reasoning.

Adam

- Crap weapon selection since you are better off giving someone else the Aigaion Arm. (Fixed Dice could work, but he does have no passives outside the LB for ATK.)

- Dodgy abilities. (Raw Feelings is Queen-tier difficult to pull off. Sever Network is limited if you don't graviga your party, which is more suited for Veritas. Cube Explosion requires you to alter with the passive Damage Cut so damage is jumpy for finisher even with Fixed Dice, where better units exists for that role.)

- LB doesn't have that oumph it should have(80-104%) given what it does he will have jumpy damage since you need to fire off something like LB>Bullet Wave(delayed)>Bullet Wave>LB, or LB>Damage Cut>Cube Explosion>LB.

Eve

Being a brawler pre-Prishe he already shot himself in the foot despite he had some potential. (Gather Machine Scraps churns out about 900hp regen per turn. LB is quicker than Seven's but no guaranteed stun for everyone.)

- Same crappy weapon selection, and the dmg multipliers only benefit new players.

- Similar issues regarding passives(Queen!), but he had at least more atk boosters.

Helena

Like I said in the past she is good for new players.

DW for daggers, whips, throwing weapons and guns. (Crappy weapon selection, but works for 400+atk until enhancements, or pulling better units.)

Enhanced: Wield Two Dagger/Whip/Projectile/Gun & 1.5x Chest Drop Chance & +40% ATK when equipped with Gun & LB Fill Rate +100%

Best Shot is 450%. (525% after enhancements.)

- Camo, Hide, Raise, 20% dodge, escape.

Endless Sleep, enhanced: 100% Sleep & Self Recover 50% HP/MP & Self 5 Turn +60% ATK & Self Fill LB Gauge: +10.

Rasler

Tanky, healer, kind of and can chain if light, but that's it unless Gumi makes him viable since his enhanced Royal Obligation is worse than WoL's Light is with us in our current state.


Besides Tim, you can slowly work on the rest if you want on that second list.
---

Man, I'm having a lot of fun using Zargabaath.

He's so useful.
---

i got only eve, adam, and 21O. I'm kind of burnt on this event. Even a 9S would have been nice.
---

don't give up on that elusive 9S!

That TMR is gold
---

The tmr is absolutely fantastic and i might give some pulls when i get paid
---

I have the hardest time chaining anyone not named Orlandeau lol.

I even had Fry, 2B, and Landeau in a team and couldn't get over a 12 Chain with Blitz, Speed, and DR.

What the ever livin' hell?
---

if you're going to buy stuff, remember that this friday two bundles are resetting.
more tickets and more lapis.
---

They don't have compatible frames with each other so they won't properly fill chain.
---

full chain, rather

Is there a resource that explains compatible chainers, or maybe just fundamentals I may not be completely aware of?
---

There's a thread on Reddit somewhere that I'm sure Fiyun will post soon that has frame data for the major chainers.

I have FIVE 9Ses now. What am I going to do with all these boys

Start a Catholic Church?

Maintenance imminent
---

Few units have the ability to hit a harmonic chain without a copy of themselves. (Orlandeau+DV+enhanced Agrias, Camille+Tidus/Elieen.)

Getting all five TMRs would allow your whole party to chain together no matter who.
---

Huh

I didn't realize Chizuru and Tidus chained. Not well since Chizuru has to move, but still...
---

There is some need to experiment with positioning units here and there.
---

Phew, managed to squeeze in one last Raid before the maintenance hit
---

I will miss that moment when I felt like an ultra whalelord.... ;_;

Edit. Forgot her...

https://exvius.gamepedia.com/Chic_Ariana

i really do like Grace's enhancements. one T5 Tech and 3 T4 Techs makes Battle Cyborg go from +30% HP and +15% elements to going 30% on all elements, +30% ATK, and +30% DEF. that's a crazy good improvement on something so cheap. Unlimited and Last Sequence updates are really nice too but they're extremely expensive. Battle Cyborg though, that's legit.

edit:

wait, that ghost bin offers VERY different things. apart from buffing Unlimited they don't appear to be touching Last Sequence. instead they're buffing Whole Fist and Destroy Arm? the latter's currently 2.1x with a 25% defense ignore. that going to 5x and ??? defense ignore makes her DPS legit good.
---

Not to mention she has an insane amount of base HP.

She's on my TM team right now, but I'm not opposed to using her when I get bored of my usual team.
---

yeah, she's actually turned around into a great unit in global. she easily breaks 10k HP so 200% defenses on that, a strong DPS move, and... it's not hard to enhance either. Last Sequence was stupid expensive to buff. Whole Fist needs a single T4 to +2, Destroy Arm is +3 T4s and +1 T5. a single power purecryst? i'm down for raising that.

Soleil's buffs/debuff game seems gimmicky but i can see it work. basically 100% AoE ATK and MAG buffs + 35% of either DEF or SPR, 100% AoE DEF and SPR buff with a 35% debuff to either ATK or MAG. if fighting a boss weak to only one break, that ain't so bad. if she just goes in a buff loop, you'll basically go 100% two stats, 120% the other two, and repeat at 120%. she's a budget enhanced Ramza and kicks Zarga's ass on the buffing game too. Endless Turn also makes 100% physical evasion builds possible for her now too, goes well with the status immunity and MP regen. they're all Tech crysts too so that'll work.

edit:
actually wait, enhanced Ramza was just 100% for 3 turns?
lol Soleil is doing 100% to two stats for 2 turns + a debuff for 2 turns -> 120% to two stats for 2 turns + a debuff for 4 turns if you keep dancing -> do the first again to go 120% instead now.

i'm not sure how "budget" that is but goddamn. yeah Ramza has other perks with healing and MP regen but that's legit.
---

Ramza and Lunera are fire and forget without any upkeep or alternating between actions each turn.

Roy will be lazier than Soleil once he hits turn 5(Just hit repeat.)

Edit: Like I said before, Marie-users should get Love You All +2 and Lovely Guard +1 for the most bang. The rest are up to you.
---

Well them's the breaks

At least I can have a taste of awesome buffs! Looks like Tilith will have to supply the healing Soleil doesn't provide.

I'm thinking of a party of Tidus, WoL, Ilias, Tilith, and Soleil for the Malboro trial. I dunno. We'll see.
---

did...they just make Randi even better?
---

Throwing you a bone after not getting what you wanted out of the banner sounds like.
---

Apparently the game is up, but I've been unable to log in
---

In.

Edit: Aiden heals 40mp when enhanced.

Longer duration on buffs too.
---

Sounds like A2 can perfect chain OHC with herself now. Get hype.
---

hmmm now that 2B #2 is "complete" (only 600 ATK for now)

Tested 3 2Bs (random friend) + Orlandeau.

74 hit chain using Speed. if I set things up with Avoid Attack or Extract Speed I'm sure the total would be much higher, but this isn't too bad, for something right off the bat.

Can't decide what I should do for Marlboro. If I run WoL, Marie, Tilith, Rikku, and Fryevia, Fry ends up getting the berserk.

If I swap in Dark Veritas for dark goodness, I have to drop either Fry, Rikku, or Marie. I probably don't need Marie because I have status immunity for 4 units already, and can make DV immune to the really bad ones that cause him to miss turns, but I still want to use enhanced Marie. Decisions decisions!
