Board 8 > Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius Topic 40 - For Loren Hope

(+) Yeah! (+)

RaidenZeroX posted...

Chloe seems like she might have some use with her killer buffs

Kind of, but you are better off with the killer+ effects when we get more in the long run.

========

Have to ponder about it more. Could get Pirate Jake's TMR now, or weaponize GL Sakura while she is still usable as is.
---

Sakura would be more useful for the next trial, wouldn't she?
---

Possible, since she is not using black magic. The issue is maintaining dps due to her costs.

Will see if they tweaked the trial or not once it get announced.

Test these since the usual one is outdated.

Damn your Wilhelm!

Tetra Sylph 3* got 70m hp. Same magic tank+AoE elemental resistance.

Diabolos 3* got 80m hp.

Phys and magic tanks needed. 200% dark resistance. AoE stop. (Mistair and Silt counter this.) Death obviously. And gravity.

A few 7* dps rapes him apparently.

Archfiend banner/ KM event.

Banner announcement up in-game.
---

The Ayaka enhancements seems fine. Im not sure she needed even more SPR, but the Dedication buff seems good.
---

Ayaka's are decent, nothing outstanding, but I didn't expect much since she's already overpowered. Love the extra Spr!

Edit: Dammit, the Archfiends banner is for a Mog Event? I was just going to skip that banner entirely.
---

the Archfiends are cool, so I'll summon on that banner.
---

Yeap, might burn my tickets on that banner.

How long until Lorraine event ends so I can finish it before then?
---

It's another week left.

I do suggest AoE tank plus earth resistance on last set for the boss. The one before that is catfood.

Going to bring new tank girl later on for field testing...
---

There will be datamining stuff out tomorrow that will tell us whether or not the 4 fiends are worth pulling for, won't there?
---

Probably.
Maintenance is tomorrow?
---

Yeah, ends at like 4:30 or some weird time like that according to the twitter.

I feel like Rubicante is getting the shaft here. I always saw him as the "main" arch fiend, so if anyone was a 5* base, it should have been him.
---

5* units reserved for waifus only
---

Looks like I'm relying on a friend bonus unit, because I'm not wasting any Lapis on this banner.

Yeah, but I'm actually ok with this because now I might actually get him.

Oh wait, wow next up seems like an event I would not want to touch

Except for Scarmiglione, they seem pretty fun.
---

Update up now.
---

Can't keep up with the game maintenance schedule
---

This one was awkward so I don't blame you. I have 300nrg waiting for me...
---

The clocks went back in the uk, so the timing is all off
---

Same, but the other week for me.
---

I just gave the archfiends a very quick glance, and I'm not even seeing anything that makes me want to do dailies on this banner. If only it wasn't a mog event (which is probably why it's a mog event)
---

Looks like Gumi is going after people who buy from lapis resellers now. Wonder how they're going to spin it if/when they start banning some people, but let Dyer off the hook.
---

Rubicante is a good iNichol buddy for elementals. Cagnazzo is a budget Wilhelm provoker. (Better than Ozetta if you got WS from the FF13 event.)

Game is up.
---

According to the unit calculator, Adventurer V very very slightly boosts Fry's hybrid damage over L&A (at least with my personal Fry build, but it should hold for anyone who dual wields and previously had 4 L&A). Who needs 1060+ Mag when you can do more damage and have a bunch of extra survivability! I'm 40 relics away from Adventurer V and I want to get it today, but it's smarter to let my completed expeditions sit now so I can get a big jump on next weeks rewards.
---

I think I'm still around two weeks away from Adventurer V.

I need to try to shotgun the story event today. I did the first two stages earlier in the week and then just let it sit. I've really only been playing the game minimally since Kingsglaive. That Halloween even really sucked the enthusiasm out of me.
---

I've got about 1-1/2 weeks to Adventurer V. Looking forward to popping on GL Sakura just to see how tanky she can get.
---

Need a week to get III on my second.
---

Finally got Fixed Dice for Fire Veritas. Now I just have to figure out how to use him and find room in my teams for a finisher.
---

damnit, just failed two long 80% expeditions

that might put my moogle this week in jeopardy
---

Anything below 90% seems to be instant fail again. It seemed to be working fine for about a month, but after failing a 97 and 2 95s in the last 2 weeks, I stopped trusting the percentages again. Unless it's 90% I don't even bother anymore.

A few people on the FFBE board reported failing 100%s as well, but I can't speak to that personally because all of mine have always succeeded.
---

I haven't gotten a Moogle from Expeditions since August. The increase to 140 tokens pretty much killed me.
---

I mean, I also regularly succeed on like 60% ones so I'm not going to sit here and claim foul play

really it's my own fault for not being more diligent in checking them as there are definitely days this week where completed expeditions have sat for hours without me bothering to start up new ones

You suck. The lowest percent I've ever cleared is 74.
---

I once failed 4 missions, all in the 90s, that all completed at the same time. RNG is nuts.
---

I've completed 50% runs... but then again I'm off and on so maybe I don't burn my good luck.

Raids, OTKs or FTKs. You still need Cloud's TMR though to unlock the true power.

Maybe I'll get lucky, I don't see myself doing anything more than dailies on Cloud's banner so I'll probably never have him up to full. Still good though, now I just need Light and I can have a full Veritas team!

You will still him anyway when 7* arrives for your Tidus. No equal TMR for those TDH builds unfortunately.

Want FV or Cloud? Does 7* Tidus become a single wielder or something?
