(+) Yeah! (+)

.... Why in the blue blazes do Fry-people put up a DH, or FFB+1 as a companion unit? ~_~ (Not that it matters for frames. Forgot they changed with +1 unlike others.)

Had to re-do Phoenix *2. (I suggest also doing the pump station to unlock Mama Chocobo for the 15% EVO materia.)

With all the hype over TDH this TDH that, everybody assumes that TDH is going to be the stronger build no matter what, even though in Fry's case it's terrible compared to her DW (TDH puts her slightly below enhanced Aileen, DW puts her ahead of DW Tidus). I can understand putting up a FFB+1 Fry, but there is absolutely no reason to make her TDH. If you're not going to DW her you really shouldn't bother sharing her unless you're trying to troll people on your friends list.
---

Or trying to make Fry a finisher xD
---

I imagine it might have been an e-peen thing since that companion, had both I listed, had more mag than Raiden's.
---

Her finisher rotation pales in comparison to her chaining one. It's likely people who want to show off a unit with great stats as opposed to a unit that actually does damage.

I could have mine with a lot more mag, but building her as a hybrid is better, plus TS gives her bird killer for the raid. That's going to be of more use to my friends list than pretty stats.

but how do will you show people that you're a bigger whale than others
---

I'm always missing Alcrysts, Milcrysts, or Heavy Crysts. I always seem to have more than enough of the Giant and Pure. Alcrysts in particular I'm always missing tons of.
---

I know the feeling.
---

I always run low on heavicrysts

... That reminds me.

Medina the magical cash unit was dropped between FF4 and Sephiroth, so soonish.

I wonder if they make up some original banner for her, or staple together with some other.

And save your 4* tickets in case the unearthed DQ data means Liquid Metal Slime. That provoke tank is worth its effort.
---

If I use 200% fire resist Basch, and fishing Noct with 100% evasion, is the 3* ifrit trial basically instant win?
---

Yes.
---

So, I tried using:
Noctis - 90% Evasion (best I could get)
Basch - 215% Fire Resistance
A2 - Damage
Fryevia - Damage
Ayaka - Support

Even though Noctis was Provoking (had Golem on him for Provoke instead of Fish), other units, especially A2, would still get hit by physical attacks quite frequently. Got him to 23% and he wiped out the party except for Basch with Physical attacks.

Basically my turn Order was always:
Basch - Twilight Guard T1, Armor Eraser T2, repeat
Noctis - Provoke T1, Cover T2, repeat
A2 - OHC every turn, Berserk when available
Fry - FFB every turn
Ayaka - Embolden T1, Meditate T2, Curaja/Dedication as necessary, Shiva when full Esper gauge.

Similar to how JP got Loren, or?

Use Iris's shield to ensure Noctis gets targeted.

Yup.

I expect Gumi will un-cash shop Medina too. She isn't special enough to be kept there.

Looks like FFBE x Dragon Quest XI collab is happening.
---

Now to hope we get Liquid Metal Slime too...
---

I hope LMS gets some nice GL exclusive buffs since they're so late on the DQ collab (if they even give us LMS)

I just ended up bringing full evade WoL and a 200% fire res Mystea. At that point you dont even need a healer because you literally cannot die.

What's your evade gear because if youre getting 90% with noctis then I imagine it's not very good.
---

yeah that's surprisingly low for Noctis. do you have his TMR yet? i haven't done that trial yet but if Mystea and Noctis are enough i'll just do that.
---

Don't have it yet, unfortunately. I did get it cleared though. I swapped out A2 and went with VoD and Fry instead for DPS. Probably was a bit luckier with the RNG this time around as well, but I got it with minimal headaches. Still need to do Siren though.
---

I consider this as a life goal met in-game.


---

It's nice to not be in a rush to 6* a unit, and be able to level their limit a lot faster than I'm used to.
---

I thought the new bundle was going to be worse.
---

Same here! Got Trance Terra #3, so it's pretty useless at this point. Oh well!

White Dragon trial announced, this is one of those rebirth ones, isn't it?
---

Yes.

Got Lassworm for myself. (Will see use as 7*.)

Do not discount TT's STMR. She is a thirsty girl once she quad casts. And it is is still a unique one to my knowledge.
---

$25 for a 5* huh.

Well, its better than $48.

I still need one more for that though. At least the next one won't be as disappointing as this one is.

Pulled Blossom Sage Sakura from Daily and put 5 tickets into Batch 2 and got Ace #2. I'm a big fan of Ace, he's a staple in all my teams, so I'm excited I'll have a 7* version for him.

Not really sure what to think of Blossom Sage Sakura though. My main Mages are Trance Terra, Grim Lord Sakura, and Ace, and Fryevia eats a lot of my mage gear too, so not sure if she'll have a spot on any team currently.
---

Blossom Sage Sakura is generally in my "main" party. She has awesome supports in addition to huge damage, she's basically Emperor with support and a much faster ramp up to max damage. She can prevent status to the entire party which can be huge, and she's got some pretty solid MP battery use as well.

Nice to see some action here, I figured that the topic was going to purge last night since people weren't pulling rainbows.
---

ahhhh
so much slacking this week from me

...I did pull mustachio again, though, so I seems to be set on tanks period.

Lazy killing stuff so less need for damage dealers outside dps-checks/threshold assholes.)

She can be used as sole DD, or as a finisher.

I pulled a CG Jake a couple days ago. I didn't post about it because (unless I pull a second one) it feels less valuable than pulling most golds.
---

I've got 10k, not sure if I should gun for Jake or wait for DQ.
---

Jake will return on the CG banner, plus like Lassworm he isn't worth the effort until 7*. If that depending on your needs.

A lot of these topics are just people doing a bragfaqs when they pull a non-guaranteed rainbow, that was more of what I was getting at.

I do agree that CG Jake is more of a gold though!

20% mitigation lowers Aigaion's left arm to 1254 with that set up.

Edit: Forgot to point it gains 5 stones per turn after enhancements, and needs 8 stones for the lb at max.
---

Wait, LMS was a 5* max?

Because if he goes to 6* now and didnt get nerfed since that video, hes going to be insane.
---

He is 4-5.

He can still match enhanced WKN more or less if you use his only two slots well+buffing. Plus enhancements soon ensures he upholds his family creed of being hard to kill.

====

The 300k weapon in the DQ event is lowered to 120k.

Ribbon 12k.

Dragonlord's Kafrizzle:

700%, 99mp>2000%, 80mp.

80% mag now instead of 30%.
---

I keep thinking it'd be really cool to get Dragonlord since I love the series, but then I remember that I probably wouldn't use him since he doesn't seem to have a ton of versatility. If I use a finisher it's always CG Sakura since she can do so many other things (or if I only take 1 damage unit, it's usually CG Sakura).

I tend to see rainbows when I really want the 4* though, and since there are 3 of them on this banner I'll probably see him from a 4* ticket. I hope my 17 4* tickets are enough to get LMS.
---

Potential heads up to get Metal Slash materia if you want to kill bonus monsters, since they are sturdy, and will run shortly afterwards otherwise.

Or use a Killing Machine 4*/lv 39, or Robbin' 'Ood 3*/lv20..

=======

Oddswise that's the only way I might see a LMS since we are talking Tilith-odds, but with better tickets.
---

I'm assuming Metal Slash is from the mog shop?
---

Aye.
---

Minsha's.




---

goddamnit gumi, stop giving us fucking nrg pots in bundles
---

I am more annoyed at 10+ stacks of cactaurs/snappers that forces me to clean or wait.
---

I started tossing my extra supply of king metal minituars at units I can get extra 7*s for. Need those UoC tickets (even though Gumi will probably Gumi and we'll get like 100 lapis instead)
---

I spend 30k every time I need to buy a bundle for dailies. I haven't felt like I need Cactuars in a while.
