Unless Im missing something, it looks like kitty Ariana isnt on the Ayaka/CG Fina level, or even the Tilith level. I wish we knew Lings enhancements already so I could figure out whether to do dailies or not. Right now Im leaning towards no.

Around Tilith's level thanks to her DAC selection. I will update my sheet later as a comparison.

Yeah I haven't gotten Bahamut yet either.

Someday.

Do it now. Half energy for a week currently. (Plus you won't get behind on Fenrir before Leviathan.)
---

There's a reason why I asked Fiyun for her Garnet yesterday :P
---

Started doing Realm of the Dragon King. The explorations are less difficult than I was lead to believe, though the encounter rate is definitely annoying.
---

Give it some time before the ambushes kick in, so I hope you got charm bangle and a 50% encounter reduction unit on top of smoke and healing.
---

I've only gotten ambushed once so far and it wasn't something I couldn't recover from.

I do have charm bangle. Diabolos as well, but I assume his reduce encounter is still broken here?
---

lol
---

Heh...

=====

... Duke!!

That means Mistair is close. (Or should since Cloud and the FF15 banners are in the same proximity.)
---

literally just went into the bahamut area twice in a row without putting a rat's tail in my inventory

it's really stupid that you need to do that. I also really wish you just just select any friend you have for a companion unit instead of getting a random 25 or whatever it is. having to reset the app to reroll whenever I don't get a good selection is very annoying.

all that just to get smoked by megaflare anyway
---

I swear to god this game knew I was trying finish awakening soleil and is now denying me all tech crysts from the gem chamber
---

You mean, there's something money can't buy just yet?
---

So, I burned A LOT of pots messing with Sheratan.
Finally think I got the defense down( hot damn 9s and double tanks work well)- Might wait until I Marie fully Enhanced for more MP heals and stick auto-refressh and more MP on Tillith so she doesn't get sucked dry.

Around Tilith's level thanks to her DAC selection. I will update my sheet later as a comparison.

I can see her being above the Aria tier, but nowhere near Tilith when it comes to healing. A dual cast of her healing ability wont even bring a decent tank to 50% HP, and her only full healing comes from her limit, which apparently takes 27 crystals (a lot even with her limit bonus). She also lack a full party revive. She seems like more support than healer.
---

was able to get bahamut down to 30% but the damage ended up catching up with me, especially because megaflare effectively wipes all buffs
---

I need more Support Heavycrysts. Which Chamber is that one again, or is there a better farm source for them?

Last stage in story event. Always story events for your energy spent.

Hence around instead of above like some said in the other topic, due to flexibility. Tanks heal through the heart anyway mostly.

Do not underestimate the very rare ability to use reraise twice.

If the mod was 8x or something then it would have been a Rena scenario.

Reminds me, here is Wilhelm pre- and post enhancements.

Edit: And some extras for the Crystal Defenders if nobody looked if they had the units.
---

Golbez done, all missions. People on the ffbe board made it seem like he'd be impossible too. I need the Bloody Moon (and Wilhelm, just because).
---

Still need to do the 5-man, but Golbez was somewhat easy.

Just gotta tank his dirty move after you kill his shadow dragon :P

Also, gotta love the Rydia callback.
---

Anyone have an awakened Garnet with Bahamut they could put up as a friend unit? I might just try to cheese Bahamut instead of doing it legit.
---

People on FFBE board were complaining about the difficulty of NIGHTMARE Halloween Castle too, but even I beat that... twice.
---

Most of the complaints seem to stem from Golbez being able to one-shot you if the RNG decides it's appropriate, making the fight a DPS race at the best of times. The upside is, he doesn't seem to have nearly as much HP. I haven't tried taking him on yet, not sure what units I want to use. I have cleared out all the raid difficulties, and this one looks like it'll be easy enough to one-shot. I really envy anyone who has more than one GL Sakura, because they're so few and far between. Looks like I'm going to have to rely on Orlandeau's on my friend list as usual, because who would put Excalibur on their Tidus? :/

I probably would... only because I can't TMR farm, so if I had a Tidus, he'd probably still be working on Brotherhood. I don't have Camille's TMR yet either, I've only pulled maybe 2 of her ever.

oh shit

frame-perfect chaining can be done on iOS now. game changer
---

Until it gets patched like perfect chaining did on Android. Im just glad they still let us use Switch controls for trust farming. Pretty sure Id have dropped the game without that.
---

I don't think it's something that can really get patched. Unless for whatever reason Apple decides to eliminate the lag time between closing the control center and giving control back to the current app.
---

Also I found Golbez to be pretty easy as well. Didn't get the esper kill because fuck the esper kill, but otherwise no issues.
---

Keep in mind you either need Luneth(30), WKN(50), or wait for ninja doggie 4*(45) for a similar accessory.
---

I'm fine missing it. It's a good accessory, but esper kills are such a pain, it's not worth the trouble for how infrequently I use mages.

3 Frys perfect chaining, its beautiful. So easy too.
---

Apparently you get trust moogles for both Grandes and Ling.
---

I may have to give this perfect chaining a shot, just to feel what it's like to be consistent.

And outside of the potential for insta-death, how hard is Golbez really? I may finally raise up my own Garnet just to make the esper kill mission easier, because I really want that accessory for my GL Sakura.
---

Got Golbez to 29% in two turns then got Party Wiped.

Maybe I should look up what this fight is all about.
---

Oooooh, now I see what you mean by 25k Lapis for Ariana.

Yeah fuck that shit.
---

this game I swear to god

I maxed out a Zyrus so I could go try to one-shot bahamut

now I can't get a shadow bahamut to drop a rat's tail. 4 of them in a row without a drop now.
---

oh my god I forgot to bring a spr breaker now I need to farm another rat tail

I hate this game
---

I wonder if I should try for that Golbez trust moogle...
---

How do you perfect chain on iPhone?
---

Used 10 tickets to get Ling.

Swing and a miss.
---

If you swipe up on your screen to bring up the control center, and then swipe it back down to close it, theres about 1.5 seconds where the game is frozen. You can tap units during that time and after the 1.5 seconds all tapped units will execute at the same time.

Switch controls? Is that an iPhone thing or something? I'd love to figure out ways to improve my TMR generation.

Been playing for almost 500 days now and still only have just over a dozen TMRs that I actually earned through Basic Moogles and farming, not counting TMRs that got fed from Raid Moogles.

My non-raid Moogle TMR collection so far:
Demon Scythe
Excalibur
Rising Sun
Bowie Knife
Brave Suit
Black Cowl
Ribbon
Champion Belt
3x Dual Wield
Doublehand
Letters and Arms
Katana Mastery
Power of Creation

Including Raid Moogles:
Fryevia Needle
Vestment of Mind
Patches
2x Draco Spike
2x Shard of Genius
2x Sage's Prajna
3x Spirit of Freedom
4x Hydaelyn Guard
16x Follower Oath
5x Mog Wisdom
2x Equip Heavy Armor
4x Gungnir
Beastlord
Virtuous Contract
Pod 153
Resentment
2x Mechanical Heart
4x Vengeful Wrath
...if I ever pull a Reberta, I have 100% Moogle waiting for her.
(maybe something else I'm not thinking of)

My TMR party, which I use for trivial content farming like Gil Snappers and what not, currently consists of:
Shine - 89.9%
Rikku - 17.6%
Gaffgarion - 14.7%
Grace - 15.2%
Camille - 34.9%

...This party has been set for about 4 months now.

Here ya go:

So I took on Golbez just now, and that was...interesting. Party was Rem, Orlandeau, WoL, Rikku, Tilith, and DV friend. So I use the first bit to just regularly attack and build up my Esper and Limit gauges. Okay, that works well. I burst him down with Orlandeau chains and Dagger Boomerang. This also works well. He summons Shadow Dragon, and it goes down in two turns. Great! I star whittling him down. Awesome! I use Carbuncle since Rikku had a free turn. Wait, what?

Yes, at 10% I used Carbuncle and blew my Esper gauge. Follow up with nearly 15 rounds of me using wimpy regular attacks, eventually keeping Orlandeau and DV from attacking at all because they were doing too much damage. He didn't use his 10 HP move once to try and kill me (miraculously), up until I was ready to kill him with the Esper. Thankfully, regular attacks generate a crapton of LB crystals, and Tilith had Rikku's Pouch equipped, so ReRaise was never a problem. One final Divine Ruination combo and a Sylpheed summon (which I thought was mistimed because it did the damage after the combo finished), and I got my Esper kill mission!

My second attempt with removing Rem for the 5-man reward did not go so well. I shall have to reevaluate my team layout, potentially dumping WoL for Soleil or bringing Rem back. Losing the breaks will suck, but I think I can manage it. I may also try GL Sakura, not sure.

Ok, yeah, iPhone. I use an LG V20, so Android operating system. If I had a PC worth a damn, I could probably macro on Nox or something, but no such luck. I'm not doing horribly not being able to TMR farm, and RNG at least loves me enough to keep blessing me with 5* base units, so no complaints.
---

Oh, sorry. I read your comment as implying that you had an iPhone, and just hadn't looked into it. I've been having some issues with it anyway as of late, the controls occasionally hang up or just stop processing my taps, so I think I have some odd thing set up that I don't want. Still, it's allowed me to get a few TMRs over the last five months, including my (finally!) first Excalibur today.
---

bleh, 5-man attempt fell flat at 10% due to binding cold luck

Why does my man Golbez always have RNG bullcrap D:
---

The FFBE board said the reset trick works for him
---

Takes a while, or did for me. I had to do quite a few resets since he started with Cold and followed with thundaga...
---

Cleared golbez

Got fucked over on the esper kill option. I activated it with 5% hp left, didn't count even though the rest of the party got the kill.
---

Finally got all missions after some restarts...

Look at Wilhelm, the Wall Standing Tall, triumphant in his victory

Where be my WoL enhancements ;o;
