I see the wiki finally did their big unit ranking update. A2, Fry, Orlandeau, and Dark Veritas in the top tier, surprising no one.

Ah, so it is my Fry that is giving me shit luck!

...eh, no regrets, ice waifu>all

I'm not convinced we'll ever actually get the Kingsglaive banner. I'd be shocked if FFIII wasn't next week.
---

Kingsglaive was a hit in the states they'd be a damn fool to not bring the banner here
---

Huh on looking at her skills + enhancements Marie actually seems to do what I wanted Luka to be able to-- high potency long regen (10000hp+15x over 5) is pretty cool-- with other useful skills on top of it.

If only she had an actual healing spell of any sort. Can't you buy Curaja from a chocobo or something.
---

Yeah, Duggle Village chocobo has it for 200 SQ.

Don Chocobo got one, for a fair price... 200q, Duggle Village.

BUT, Marie needs equipment for that since she IS a green mage.
---

Oh.

Damn you Marie.
---

You still got the staff/rod with cura attached to it she can dualcast.

Edit:

The best option as of now.

---

Eh +800hp healing a turn seems almost like wasted effort. Might as well just give her more spirit to make the regen more potent.

Also I kinda think the healing staff is better because it has +8 SPR and what's Marie gonna use MAG for anyway.
---

not getting libertus at all may be more damning for me continuing to play this game than not getting 2b/a2 over like 250 pulls
---

What's a Libertus?
---

some fan fiction character
---

A *3-5 unit that will be evasive, somehow. Maybe?
---

the unit with the goat LB
---

You mean this one?


---

absolutely
---

Yeah who needs healing staff

Instead I can have X-Death dual cast Thundaga on my team after she dual casts Reflect 3 times for a 12x Thundaga every 3 turns. Marvelous.

(Why doesn't X-Death have Waterga :( :( :(. Someday we'll get an item or something that gives Waterja I know it.)
---

... Raiden?


Can you keep a secret from Lopen that the staff from the next Final Fantasy X event contains a staff with Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, Waterga attached to it?

It might be in the best interest he never learns the existence of it. Who knows what he will do then.


Remember. Arc Arcana the staff comes with Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, Waterga. Keep it a secret, 'kay?
---

Lopen doesn't let X-Death touch staves.
---

I don't let X-Death touch goddamn hats.

He'll use a staff just fine! He's manly enough with this Fryevia's Needle.

I can indeed keep this secret!

For anyone who wants their dreams crushed, mallboro trial pro has one summon ticket for clearing it.
---

I already had my dreams crushed with it
---

Alright, time to try my luck one last time with my daily summon and tickets:

-Medius

-Artemios
-Terra
-Amelia
-Lawrence
-21O
-Agrias
-Edge
-Ashe

Oh....
---

I'm almost tempted to get belying greedy and try for a second A2, but that's too much even for me.
---

Hm, if only I spend $100 more dollars I'll get the 5* guaranteed ticket.......
---

I like Marie, I put Recovery Rod on her and run her as a secondary full support. She was great for Echidna, and I imagine she'll prove pretty useful for Malboro when I attempt that.

I gotta say, I'm getting a little green eyed with the way you guys keep talking about how many TMRs you have been able to obtain. It's a little disheartening that I can't macro farm and I have to basically use Trial Rewards and Event Rewards, and hand select TMRs to put Moogles into.

I'd love a couple Champion Belts, Quick Assaults, and other shiz.
---

I've never macro'd for TMRs, mine are all from moogles or fusing dupes!
---

ganon's post reminds me, i got an Ashe while using up tickets too. that's another 6* unit i've gotta raise.

and i'm like tissue and i think lopen here - never macrofarmed. my TMRs come from 1) events with free TMRs, this includes like 7 Gugnirs, 2) dupes, 3) moogles, and 4) regular battles.

part of this is luck. i've gotten 4 Camille, two went straight into her when she hit 90% from moogles. the same will happen to the dude with Bowie Knife, i've got 5 of him and he'll go great with Chizuru or my Nine Army (one of the Setzer can hold onto Second Knife). Kefka's Ribbon was a mix of moogles and that i got like 5 of him when the FF6 banner was up. i still haven't gotten a single Letter and Arms finished yet, though there's 7 of him laying around now and i'll no doubt get tired at 90% or something. there's no farming in this though, it's all just trying to raise some good TMRs and sticking the moogles to a few you want the most (Vanille and Ashe both look really good after the first Bowie Knife).
---

I've macro farmed a bit. Not nearly as much as some people as I usually spend my stamina on other stuff or don't care enough to spend the stamina, but I've gotten in the range of 10 TMRs out of it.

Also it crashed a lot and made my old laptop run really hot. I built a pretty high end PC recently though so I may start doing it a bit more.
---

10 might be a bit low. I actually dumped a few thousand lapis into it which means I was efficient with Macro farming for the little time I did it reliably.

3x Letters and Arms
3x Dual Wield
2x Ignorance
2x Black Cowl
1x Blade Mastery
1x Champion's Belt
1x Kaiser Knuckles
1x Power of Creation
1x Demon Scythe
1x Ribbon
1x Magistral Crest

Those were mostly Macro'd. The ones I've gotten mostly through moogles/dupes/use/etc are:

1x Freyvia's Needle
1x Brotherhood
1x Rikku's Pouch
1x Genji Glove
1x Monster's Breastplate
1x Omnirod
1x Holy
1x Lordly Robe
1x Maximilian
1x Dualcast
1x Sakurafubuki (this was about 50/50 but I did get a lot of Miyukis)
1x MAG +30% (this as well with Shantotto)
1x Minerva Bustier (this as well with Celes)
3x of Adam, 1x of 9S, 2x of 210's TMR from this thing
3x Thancred's, 1x Minfilia's, 1x Y'shtola from previous events

Which I mean, it's a decent amount of "legitimate" TMRs (and I have enough moogles right now to max another one-two), but the macroing definitely helped a lot. (Though it could've helped more-- I put priority on some weird selections. Blade Mastery was kind of a dumb one to give priority for example.)
---

As far as "premium" TMRs go, I only have

3x Dual Wield
2x Excalibur
1x Deathbringer
1x Blade Mastery
1x Champions Belt
1x Black Cowl
1x Brave Suit
1x Dualcast

I think that's it? No including stuff like Beastlord where we got moogle drops.
---

Geez what did I make again?

2x Dual Wield
1x Dualcast
1x Excalibur
1x Blade Mastery
1x Sakurafubuki
1x Goddess's Protection
1x Brotherhood
2x Champion's Belt
2x Gungnir
2x Draco Spike
1x Machine Killer
1x Equip H Shield
1x Equip H Armor (or whatever TMR Firion gives I forgot)
1x Equip Short Sword/Dagger
1x Patches
1x MAG +30%
1x Twenty-sided Die
2x Vestment of Mind

Plus however many FF XIV TMRs I have

I think that's it...
---

TMRs I have gotten (roughly in order):

Rising Sun (first to go with my CoD)
---2 months later---
Demon Scythe
Brave Suit
Power of Creation
Doublehand
(all 4 of these were meant to go for my Elza)
---some time passes before I get my next TMRs...---
4x Hydaelyn Guard
12x Follower's Oath
2x Shard of Genius
Excalibur
Gungnir
Fryevia Needle
Patches
---(interestingly, I never completed a Vestment of Mind ... it's currently still at 70%)---
Dual Wield (finally pulled a Zidane, was using Second Knife as my only Dual Wield at this point)
4x Gungnir
2x Equip H Armor
Blade Mastery
Dual Wield #2
Ribbon
Black Cowl
Bowie Knife
Dual Cast
Beastlord
2x Mechanical Heart
Resentment
2x Vengeful Wrath

Almost done with my 3rd Dual Wield, but at this point not sure if I really need it anymore, and almost done with Virtuous Contract.

Currently in queue for TMR Moogles...
Gaffgarion
Shine
Rikku
Camille (not so sure I need her anymore though)
---

Ooh right forgot Power of Creation
---

And Quick Assault

Whoops
---

3x Dual Wield
1x Excalibur
1x Ring of the Lucii
1x Symphonic Flair
1x Twenty-Sided Die
1x Gungnir
2x Champion's Belt
2x Kaiser Knuckle
1x Dark Bond
1x Deathbringer
1x Power of Creation
4x Quick Assault
1x Fryevia's Needle
1x Draco Spike
1x Blade Mastery
1x Black Cowl

and then assorted nier/ffxiv/free unit ones.

this being since I started back up in December or so.
---

final pull on the banner was cyan of fuckin' doma

~fuck everyone and everything~
---

hm. looking at Ashe, her LB seems pretty useless. Thundaja will get to almost the same levels in 3 turns and can be dualcast, meaning she'll outdamage it within 2 turns even if it's maxed out.
---

Hmm... Rank 6271

No refreshing Orbs to cross over the 5000 line for me
---

Hey Kleenex

How hype for this rumoured secrets of mana vita/ps4?
---

i'm in a tier getting 3 tickets.
i'm okay with that.
---

So...good news. I pulled 9's as my last pull of the banner.

Bad news- I pay for my laziness by being 6 mats off getting cruEl oath.
---

Daily

GOLD!

Agrias

ALL MY RAGE

Oh right

Time to get rid of these 700+k Raid coins

I thought I had more than this

Update, even if it have no bearing on us for now.

JP - Message From Alim Regarding Chaining Difficulties After 8/21 Update

---

Translation:

Thank you for playing Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.

With regard to the Android/SQMK/Kindle versions of FFBE, on 8/21, in order to comply with newly defined regulations, UI and functional adjustments were made with the purpose of shutting down some external tools and functions (TL Note: magnification, macros, etc.).

However, since the 8/21 update, we have received a large number of inquiries with regards to users having difficulty with the chaining of certain units.

Upon careful investigation with regards to this situation, we have confirmed that even users who were not making use of the concerned functions were also experiencing difficulties under certain conditions.

Further investigation has shown that we are able stop the effects of the concerned functions; as such, we will be instigating another update within the coming days.

After this new update, users **not making use of the concerned functions** will be able to operate under the same conditions as they were able to prior to the 8/21 update.

We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused and ask that you please wait a little bit longer for the new update.

We look forward to your continued support of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Development Team

---

**tl;dr**: The 8/21 update did in fact break tools assisting with chaining intentionally, but it also effected those not using those tools. Another update will be applied shortly that will leave those tools broken, while restoring functionality when not using them.

Still, you get a shot at chirijihaden's big brother in a later banner beyond Genji blade.
