So out of curiosity, what sprites and animations do people here like the most? Fryevia, Aileen, and Soleil win for me

Despite not having her, I really find 2B's victory animation adorable. Same with 9s'.

Soleli's attack animation is pretty neat.

Freyvja I love overall because hot damn they made fencing look cool.

And I find DV's dark meteor thingy to be awesome.
---

Got ViW, for some reason...
---

Amelia is the best sprite for me.
---

Arena sucks this week. Give me back my status effects
---

Last 3 free dailies: Gilbert, Krile, Shadow. I really hope this terrible streak continues for another week, the last two times this happened my luck turned to amazing right when it needed to. Even though it's just RNG, it could happen again!

I don't use status in the arena anymore. I'd rather nuke everybody in one turn and be done. Haven't lost in over a month now since I started bringing in Tilith as an anti-Siphon Delta counter, and I've been able to live through 2 stop rounds as well. If I get Ayaka I'm never losing in the arena again!

Anzelm!!!!!

Each time I pull him I feel so sad.

"Shadow was on permanent rate up"

Banner revenues:

TGC: $2.8m on release day
Nier: $2.2m on release day
---

While interesting to read up on, it is kinda scummy to leak that stuff.
---

Here is (or was, if this is real) the banner schedule:

Lorraine on Black Friday. Cloud in December
---

>Black Cat Lid gets a 6*

YES
---

valkyrie profile banner seems nice.
---

White Witch Fina needs some Enhancements to make her less of an embarrassment.
---

Ok, so I am spending the day completely reorganizing my teams. I've unequipped everyone, I'm redoing all my team setups, and I'm trying out new stuff. I'm finally replacing Orlandeau with A2 in my offense, that kind of stuff.

Now... bear in mind that I haven't done the Aigaion trial yet, so I'm sure my A2 has a lot of work to do still, and I don't have any Champion Belts or probably other useful TMRs.


Orlandeau, before changes...
R - Excalibur
L - Virtuous Contract
H - Black Cowl
B - Demon Mail
A - Ifrit Claw
A - Cold Snap
M - Dual Wield
M - L Sword Mastery
M - Blade Mastery
M - ATK +30%

991 Attack


A2, after changes (best I can figure at the moment)
R - Beastlord
L - Demon Scythe
H - Black Cowl
B - Brave Suit
A - Ifrit Claw
A - Ruler Ring
M - L Sword Mastery
M - ATK +30%
M - Power of Creation
M - Adventurer III

915 Attack


What really concerns me is that I am taking Power of Creation off of Fryevia, Demon Scythe off of Elza, and still not reaching the same attack value of Orlandeau. I could swap Demon Scythe for Virtuous Contract and Power of Creation with Blade Mastery, but I drop to 909 Attack.
---

Berserk (her LB) would make up the difference and then some.
but the answer really is to just do the trial. you get the strongest weapon in the game and mastery on it. you'd be able to return Power of Creation and Demon Scythe and she'd easily break 1000.

edit:
and a number of us have an A2 so if you want me to switch to her instead of Rem, will do. just tell me if you want a certain element (avoid wind, lightning, light, and dark).
---

I have two 2Bs and A2. I probably have the firepower to do Aigaion, I just need to read up on the strategy and see if I can watch some videos and what not.
---

4 machine killers can't hurt.
the strategy for your case is pretty much going to be 1) make sure both 2B have higher attack since she can auto-revive and with two of them you can easily rotate a bit/catch yourself of any issues, and 2) destroy the body first, then right arm, then left arm.


buffs and healing is a thing too but, y'know, you've basically got an ideal setup for killing him.
---

You will notice the ramp up after getting Agaion's fist+martial arts master. (Plus lv 25 lb.)
---

So... I'm thinking...

A2 (damage)
2B (damage)
2B (or Fryevia as alternative DPS and Attack Down, Ace for Spirit Hand, Tilith for Celestial Light and Prism Heal... not sure if those are necessary or not)
Rikku (Reraise)
Elza (Enhanced Ravaging Blow)
friend Rikku/A2/2B (backup damage or reraise)

...and just do Brute Force. Elza enhanced Ravaging Blow, A2/2B chain damage, Rikku Reraise LB every turn.

Body, Right Arm, then Left Arm

Yes/No?

My second 2B will have a substantial damage drop over the first A2 and 2B due to lack of enough good gear and materia. I don't have any copies of Machine Killer, so just their passives will have to do.
---

2B and Elza both have re-raising abilities. the boss OHKOs the person with the highest attack, which is why you probably want that to be one of the 2B... or Elza, i guess.
---

What about Reraise from Rikku?
---

a useful backup in case anybody dies from something else or two people get killed. unless she's going to be with her LB every turn it's not ideal to only rely on her.
---

This is the character release list through January, according to the leak:


---

Triple rainbow would be bullcrap.
---

barbariccia is a 5 and rubicante a 4??

I'm not complaining but that seems backwards as hell
---

a triple rainbow to try to get Balthier or wait a week and get CG Sakura.
well that's obvious.

besides, it's extra recovery from pulling for Cloud.
is he still considered really good?
---

Sounds like according to the leaks, Global is getting a Valkyrie Profile collab next year.

Might need to save for that, I need some Lenneth.
---

If this is true, i’m pretty upset.
---

I got a rainbow on the daily...dupe Wilheim
---

So I'll have about 3.5 months after Ayaka to save for CG Sakura. Knowledge is power!
---

Oh hey, got Veritas of the Heavens from the Free Pull.

Finally got a Veritas.
---

No beatrix in sight

Guess I will go all in on sakura.
---

WAIT A SECOND, TWO MORE ARIANAS? YESSSSSSsss
---

I still take *6 BCL with a handful of salt since that haven't happened to anyone but CG Lid.
---

I don't even play RK anymore, but their 30th Anniversary stuff looks good.
---

Letters and arms 3 complete.

Inching closer and closer to that setup for aigaion
---

zzzz

I've pretty much done nothing but dailies all week. next banner is junk. at least we should get a story update on thursday.
---

I'm looking forward to Crowe. Her TMR is going to be amazing for Ayaka.
---

It's really interesting how active the topic was when we had the day of maintenance compared to how quiet it is now.

So how do people go about farming King Mog events efficiently for Crysts? I'm clearly way behind in how many Purecrysts I need for a lot of things (especially Power), and I've never been able to afford a single one during the previous King Mog events, much less more than that. I don't want to rely on story events for them either, since those are both few and far between, and only hand out one or two at most.

I'll grant you I couldn't farm the last one efficiently at all because, well, Hein was a right bastard and I couldn't easily one-shot him. But 80k currency feels like a hell of a lot, especially when I have so many other things to buy whenever KM decides to hand out goodies.
---

Frankly, unless you're reallllly dedicated to it, you're gonna have to burn lapis for it.

Also have a bit of luck in getting both bonus units and enemies.

On my end, I finally got Ultima to +2. Might burn some energy vials to get to at least 2 mill to finish off Soleli and Luneth.
---

You have to run ELT with a good bonus team, hope to get bonus monsters, and refresh if needed.
---

Honestly just use story events and home in on the select maps providing the crysts you need. Add Xon.

Otherwise you need 300%+ +bonus units+luck+energy potions while beating the daylight out of elite while getting bonus monsters often enough for the overpriced crysts.
---

Check. Glad I pulled my first Xon a few days ago, though I haven't had the Sacred Crystals to up him yet. May need to spend some time not TMR farming at some point to farm some up.

Wowww I just realized there aren't any Trust Moogles on this raid banner?

Gumiiiiiiiiiiiiii
---

the rewards are by far the worst part. just EXP and Gil. you have to think about the ELT fight (it's easy but still), there's no free TMRs or anything - it's a really shitty banner. if i want EXP and Gil i have the enchanted maze or gil snappers right now.
---

Just playing for the tickets at this point.

Kinda would like the King Burst Pot, but eh.

To simplify; You get more crysts off SE than KM for the energy spent despite only partial control.

Almost got it myself now. >_>

Only 110k left.
---

For me, it's to get shantotto's equips. Theat's about it.
---

With the next batch of expeditions rolling in I am done with maxing out Aria's LB.

Now watch my next rainbow becomes the jock.... =_+
