Board 8 > Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius Topic 37 - Aria of Sorrow

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dracu Laswell was one of my first 5*s along with Ramza. I used the hell out of him... until I got Elza and then he sat on the bench permanently.
---

I think, barring the guaranteed Luneth, my last rainbow was on Freyvja's banner.
---

Its only been a month since Nier where I got my most recent rainbows, but it feels like forever!
---

I still haven't made my transition from Orlandeau to A2. She is just sitting there in my Units begging to be used.
---

Do you hate doing obscene amounts of damage that make Fryevia look like a weakling?
---

I sure do. I cringe at the thought of owning a unit with 1100+ ATK.
---

I haven't tackled the Trial with Fist Mastery of Fist Weapon yet. Should I just give her all of my Orlandeau's gear for now? Should she use Excalibur or Beastlord (Holy Element or higher damage essentially)?

My highest attack 1H Weapons from each category are Beastlord, Excalibur, Demon Scythe, and Virtuous Contract... possibly some others I am not thinking of as well. I have Blade Mastery and L Sword Mastery.
---

Using holy against Aigaion is like asking why Ifrit's isn't dieing from my flamethrower.
---

I wasn't specifically stating that I wanted to give her Excalibur and then tackle Aigaion. I was mostly just asking if she should have Excalibur so she can be used in Elemental Chains, or if I should just use Beastlord since it's higher damage.
---

Mix and match element+weapon combinations for highest yield with your partner at hand. If you have none-ls weapon with an element attached, use that until you get the Robo fist.
---

Got Werei from the daily 250 today. First on banner gold in what seems like a month!
---

I got Veritas of Water myself. I have absolutely no idea what kind of character they are.

At the moment, a poor mage/healer hybrid. Don't know if the enhancements help her a bit.

.......how long has this Trust Bundle been going on again?

I feel like i just missed out on a ton of tickets.
---

Since Friday, I think.

Bundle isn't worth it IMO.
---

yeah but I can still grab another one tomorrow and bump myself to about 60 tickets.
---

I saw the bundle, bought it every day I noticed it, but yeah I'm not sweating forgetting it like 3 times
---

Stopped lurking the Exvius reddit place, once I got my 2Bs.

Might be why I'm not noticing these types of deals.
---

I noticed it and was initially excited. Then I realized that, if a ticket is considered 250 Lapis, then that 100 remaining lapis could go to a refresh that lets me farm up five units at once. Definitely not a good deal.

I'm getting excited, finally reaching completion on my first two fully farmed TMRs. They're not phenomenal ones, Rikku's Pouch and Aqua Blade, but it'll free up four slots on my team to start farming Excalibur. Not sure if I should farm up both together or work on something else at the same time, but it's getting tempting with Agrias' Enhancements looming over me, and the fact that every time I use the Orlandeaus on my list I start wondering why I even bother with Tidus.

Speaking of, right now I'm still not all that flush with crysts. Do we know if future story events will still be handing them out as drops? I know enhancing Agrias lets me chain with my own characters, but I also know Orlandeau and Aileen are due for enhancements soonish (although I think I may pass on Aileen for a long while, as I won't be farming her TMR anytime soon), and Tidus needs a ton of Power Crysts himself. How do you all prioritize what to enhance knowing what's in the pipeline?
---

I personally value a ticket at more than 250 lapis. I prefer to have maximum drawing power on the banner I want-- 250 can in theory get you a draw but you only get 7-14 per banner. Pile the tickets high and you get a lot more value draws.

That being said, I probably value it at right about 350, which is what the bundle is essentially worth, so the bundle isn't really a deal it's sorta just fund transfer.
---

since they're 1% moogles, yeah. i got one or two before stopping because i get those already.
---

Oh dang, JP getting a Star Ocean collab.

Guess I finally have something to save up for again, even though I doubt we get it.

I'll buy pretty much any bundle that has tickets, because I save for specific units and try to mass pull for them. It failed with Noctis during players choice, but I only had 30 tickets. Had shy of 100 for Tilith and Dark Veritas and ended up with both of them. Right now I'm at 103 rare/1 4* for Ayaka. Don't think I'll get her though, got too lucky with DV and was stupid blowing through an extra 60 tickets for VoE, even though he's a gold and would have shown up eventually (got 2 or 3 of him now)
---

Nabbed a Werei from the free daily, so it looks like I'm set for this banner. On the second-to-last day. Oh well. I got my TRM fodder and a second Shatotto, so I'm happy.

I've got such a paltry sum of tickets saved up, but I went in pretty hard on the last Veritas banner when I didn't need to, and I dropped a few tickets on the Director's Choice banner, which I don't regret in the slightest. It helps that Ayaka isn't on my radar, but one of the 4* units is, so I hopefully won't have to spend as much. Doubtful, but a guy can dream.

.... One step closer to Malboro.

50% dark heavy shield obtained.

Only need one more key for the complete set next week.


Got one Werei and Kupipi, so done with the banner.

Honestly, the waiting game.

The idea is Mistair with the demon shield I acquired, Rikku on dual claws, healer, 2 on pods and probably Marie.

Might change since I am contemplating whether to get the rainbow ticket or not.

Edit: 2 2B with maxed out lbs is one option.__.
---

Ah, okay! If you need a specific companion setup when the time arrives, let me know!

I went with the double Rikku/Double Fire Pod/Fire Setzer/Ace method. Works really well, but takes some luck.

How long do messages stay around?

Like stuff in your mailbox? Or on the announcement board?

Stuff in the mailbox.

PSA: Don’t forget to use your compensation wind fangs if you haven’t already

I did forget that

Thanks.

I want to try minimizing relying on luck since dragging out that trial will cause wipes for me. Still haven't forgotten how long Ultros/Typhoon got because I relied on Setzer. >_>

Timothy TMR cleared.

Guys gimme ideas for what to go with next.

Looking at more Quick Assaults/Letters and Arms.
---

Do you have spr stuff?
---

I don't think I have too much SPR equips or Materia now that I think about it.

been focusing mostly on making Rem hit like a truck and both 2Bs hit like androids.
---

Game is up

Also wow this is legitimately a dead week. Actua nothing coming up
---

Good time to catch up on story and the vault before Bahamut next month.

Edit:

That begs the question. How many here haven't reached at least Pharm by now?

I'm somewhere in the middle of Great Crystal, but I haven't done any Explorations past Gronoa yet, just Story missions, so I still haven't unlocked the last Esper we got. Think I am still working on Black Keys too.
---

I'm done with the story minus one quest from the last update I haven't done. I think I'm probably just going to take this upcoming week off aside from some light play here and there. I've been a little burnt out over the past month, so some time to reset will be nice hopefully.
---

I've finished the story, but I've got a ton of explorations I haven't touched yet. I should've been doing them this week with the 1/2 NRG, but I spent all my time TMR farming instead thanks to the raid being time consuming, and having other games I've wanted to play. Probably better for me anyway, since I desperately need TMRs over whatever random junk and small bits of lapis I'm missing. I do need to finish getting the last few keys though, missing two or three.
---

I'm almost caught up on the story but haven't even collected all of the Earth keys yet.

<_<
---

I'm like nearing the end of the Zoldaad story...

Daily half-off got me gold.......SHINE GET!
---

i'll complete the story and explorations today with half AP in this dead period.
---

I got Kupipi from the free draw. yay

and I'm out of lapis for the half-off draw. don't know if worth to grind for more.
