Wish I spend gems during the dual element batch. Only have fiora and ardin. Need orna D:

Don't they give out the same element buffs?

This is why I need Lucca. I have Fiora, Orna, Yujeh and just missing Water and Earth elements, which Lucca conveniently gives. God damnit, guess I'm gonna spend my last gems pulling from this faux rate up event

Oops mean lucca. Although orna would make a better sub for my dual sgx

 

[TimeKillr]

So my FH team is working rather well...

On the 2nd stage, I got 2.5mil points using dual Maxwell + Lucca SBB10 + Fiora SBB2 + Ardin SBB1 + Elza SBB10.

That was.. simple.

Basically made sure I used an Attack Potion every round. I destroyed the first 3 levels this way, now to go on Terminus for my 2nd Legwand!

For Terminus though, I'll probably run either dual Maxwell or Dual Zelnite with Darvanshel, Ulkina, Elza and something else (probably Lucca to give Earth to everyone since there's a bunch of lightning and fire units in there).

I'm worried dual Maxwell won't make enough BB, so I might have to do it twice.

 

[desverger]

Ok so out of the units I have so far, which ones should I focus on raising?

I cannot comment on all of them, but if I was cherry picking units to evolve from that list I'd pick:
Darvanshel - Great all around unit, has single target BB along with a multi target SBB, both of which come with invaluable 50% damage resistance for 1 turn.
Vael - Just got updated to 6* (Ragshelm), but probably more of a late game unit.
Orna - Fire & Lightning element buffs and a not too shabby 45% crit buff on her SBB.
Kuda - Also has a 40% crit buff on his SBB, great stats and I guess an easy unit to spark with as well.

Narza is also great for having the same 50% damage resistance along with status nullifying buff in his BB.

In other news, I pulled like 5 times during this event. Got:
Nick - "Poor man's Zelnite" - purely an item farm leader, but he has a better item drop rate buff than Zel! I'll definitely use him during event dungeons.
Faris - Decent addition to my crit squad, too bad about the Guardian type but still an okay unit nonetheless.
Uda - has a BC drop buff in his SBB - not sure if I'll find an use for him outside a mono-thunder squad . Breaker type at least.
Ramna - also a breaker but nothing special, if I ever make a mono-fire squad I'll put her in it.
Shera - So happy I got her! The only unit I wanted besides Lucca. Not leader material but really just a better Darvanshel with an ATK boost on her SBB. Now I have two mitigators with single target BB attacks which coupled with Ultor should up my tanking game quite a lot.

Sadly no Lucca

But.. now my dream team that I could assemble (for hard content) would be:

Ultor lead
Darvanshel
Shera
Lilly Matah or equivalent BB gen unit
Last unit would be either Tia for maximum heals or an unit that gives the correct element attacks - for example Lucina if I need Earth.

This should give me 2 mitigators to cycle through, and Ultor's taunt as well, which is a bit fiddly manageable.

What the fuck is up with the abnormalities coming from your device garbage? I can barely clear middle, but I did...And at the end, I get an error and get 0 points.

 

[Kreed]

Ok so out of the units I have so far, which ones should I focus on raising?

I would focus on these units first:

Eltri, Rowgen, Narza, Darvanshel, Ardin, Vael, Orna, Kuda

In particular with Eltri, Rowgen, Narza, Ardin, and Darvanshel you've got some of the pieces needed to beat Maxwell.

What the fuck is up with the abnormalities coming from your device garbage? I can barely clear middle, but I did...And at the end, I get an error and get 0 points.

A lot of people seem to be getting this error. I'm sure Gumi will be compensating for this soon.

 

[Lockon]

What'with closing FH? I haven't encounter any bugs/glitches yet. I got all the rewards anyway though.

My team:
Elza (lead)
Fiora
Lucca
Zellha
Kuda
Maxwell (friend)

Got through everything with this team. Easier than I thought.

 

[Corgi]

deemo/shida/dualsgx/zelnite/elza/maxwell friend got me 1.5mil


haven't gotten any issues with illegal errors.

 

[nicoga3000]

So they're closing FH10 due to issues:

[Birgitte2004]

I had 2 runs with the 0 points due to "abnormalities" thing.

The other 4 runs allowed me to claim all rewards.

Maybe it was my party but Terminus was easy this time. One rounded every wave except the first (3 rounds) and the one after the sphere frog (2 rounds), and those were only to build back up BB. I don't think there's a single crit immune guy in there.

 

[Corgi]

yeah, pretty disappointing FH. no real gimmics or any interesting elements. Don't even need a mitigator.



aw shit. 7* kikuri/sefia. return of their metagame

 

[Kreed]

Yeah I've been clearing Terminus pretty easily (Deemo + Maxwell followed by Maxwell + Elza getting me the best results for BB generation). I didn't use any mitigation or defense buffs and was able to use the Marauder item set without too much trouble. Don't really mind though, especially with the glitch issues.

 

[Corgi]

Just them removing FH... im out of things to do lol. JUST beat the new quest map

Just gonna log in for dailies I guess...

You should still be able to run FH until later today.

 

[Xetherion]

Cleared Terminus on my first try, but only scored 1.195 mil. MIssed the Legwand by 5k fucking points. Wanted to just blow through the rounds with Maxwellx2, Elza, Fiora, Eve, and Grah, but couldn't keep SBB spam going. Going to try Maxwell + Elza friend i guess.

 

[Corgi]

still have to wait 9 hours to refill



Next batch in JP will have 7*

http://i.imgur.com/efnTCbj.jpg

Units start at 5*.

Real power creep has begone.

I guess I can be grinding levels in the mean time

 

[Xetherion]

Damn, dat power creep. Makes me skeptical of the rumors that they were only going to give 7* forms to certain units like Palmyna Heroes and Michele's batch. Salt level would skyrocket if people summoned old units that will never get 7* when trying to summon new units with 7*. I wonder if they're going to start doing Mega Rare summon events with 5* and above guaranteed, to replace the Super Rare summon 4* and above guaranteed we get now.

well to be fair, you need to be real high level to have a party of 7* STARTERS. I can't imagine most people having a party of 7*'s that have 30 cost 6* forms for example.

And with how you can only use 1 UBB at a time, I guess they are trying to discourage 7* death squads.


A bit odd that they are just skipping to kikuri/sefia for oldie 7* for now though, maybe they will only 7* the most popular while continuing to make more dudes?

 

[broz0rs]

won't it be funny if we (Global players) get 7* before raids?

 

[Kreed]

Don't forget 7 stars get better BB/SBB and Leader skills too. While the Starter's BB and SBB weren't great, I really doubt Rare Summon units will have the same issue.

A bit odd that they are just skipping to kikuri/sefia for oldie 7* for now though, maybe they will only 7* the most popular while continuing to make more dudes?

I think they are just building up hype since those two are very popular vs not doing any of the others prior to them. Otherwise Shida and friends would have never gotten 6 star forms.

 

[nicoga3000]

First 6* get! Douglas, my first pull in game, too. Miracle totem was dumb hard, though. My team is not good, so I was relying on a friend Maxwell. But he used 4 AoE attacks on one turn and wiped my whole party on his turn 1. Seems legit.

Best way to get a dark totem? I'm assuming anything but miracle can drop a dark?

Light/Dark totems appear randomly in all other totem stages, so you could do the one which is the easiest for you. So yes, it can even appear in the Miracle totem stage, though I wouldn't go there looking for it

There's also a special event occasionally (Ruins of Light and Dark), which opens up the respective dungeons for those totems, but it's pretty rare.

Ah OK. In that case, I know I need a few of each color totem, so hopefully a dark will pop up eventually. Gotta evolve my dark team.

I used my 5 free gems and a Luther (A) popped out. I'll put him on my sad attempt at a fire team for now: Lorand/Vargas/Phoenix/Graven/Luther. OK for what I need until better stuff comes my way!

 

[Corgi]

Do note single element teams are largely not good. buff synergy is way more important with a good BB generator lead.


So ideally you'd have for an all purpose team:

Damage mitigator (darvanshel, shera, oulu, narza)

spark buffer (raydn, elza)

crit buffer (dual sgx, orna, kuda)

debuff protector remover (ulkina, eltri, exvhel)

*Freebie slot for your favorite heavy hitter.

 

[desverger]

Mono teams can be good if you don't have anything better, but yes, newer units tend to outshine them.

The 50% atk/def you get from ores at least helped me in the start, when I pretty much just had a low level mono thunder team.

You're forgetting that I'm working with units that are 200 days old, haha. I don't have access to units that provide me with these sorts of things. Given the cards I've been dealt, mono teams are my best bet for farming easier content.

which is why you gotta play your cards right! Tons of free gems and summoning tickets this next few weeks.

save them for the next batch and be ready to smoke them quests :3

 

[nicoga3000]

Oh man, got my first dark totem, evolved Scythe Alice to Scythe God Alice. Fed her 600k worth of XP, got a Super Success, went from 1->80 in one feed! Required XP is 1.14m to 80, so it literally couldn't have been anymore perfect! Feels good.

Spoiler

It's the little things for new players like me, haha.

Grats! Evolving a unit always feels good, I'll never forget my first 6* (Ciara). I was doing the Miracle totem stage and hoping I wouldn't get a light/dark totem on the way, since I was woefully underprepared, and barely made through it

[Xetherion]

Yeah that batch is just dumb. And people on reddit whined that Ultor and Tridon were OP.

If i manage to pull Kira it's gonna be hilarious. Already have Elza, Kajah and Azael ready to go, and a Hogar that i'm working on.

 

[Shouta]

They ever gonna give 6-stars to that free batch like Aneil? lol

Probably not but it'd be nice. I like Aneil but he needs more oomph >=(

Actually they are, someone posted their 6* images in the spoiler section on the subreddit. Still not even out yet in jpbf though, gonna be a long time before they hit Global.

 

[Corgi]

Mifune 6* batch was added in today's patch. So expect that soon.

 

[nicoga3000]

So what makes those units so good? I'm not too familiar with what makes a given unit good.

 

[Corgi]

So what makes those units so good? I'm not too familiar with what makes a given unit good.

for kira, the 60% crit buff is the highest % crit buff. Critical damage is the highest damage multiplier in the game. Units naturally have 10% crit chance, so with this buff you are 70% chance of doing a critical hit.

his leader skill also adds an additional 150% to the damage multiplier for critical. So if you have a light/dark party, you are gonna hit like a truck.

Tzar is the best of the "boss killers" which is what I call units with single target SBB that have the effect of the SBB recharging after use. Which makes them super useful against single unit bosses. The added Spark damage boost makes it even more potent damage wise (spark is when 2 attacks from different units hit at the exact same frame).

His UBB (Ultra brave burst, the new ultimate move exclusive to 7 star units), also fully fills your entire party's Brave Burst gauge at the end of each turn for 3 turns.

Did 16 honor summons and got a Vargas (G) and Mifune (B)! Don't have to farm Lizeria anymore for Mifune. My anima Mifune is just waiting to evolve.

Seems like a stealth rate up for starters in the honor summon.

really curious if mifune will have a use anywhere besides for 1hiting maxwell.

With most content in the game 1hit ko by bb spam without maxwell or crit lol

it's just people on reddit that thinks there's a rate up because of a few instances of multiple starters in one-ten pull.

Exactly. I believe it's just a freak occurence, though

 

[Corgi]

some people been wondering where the hell do you use Ultor besides arena...

well this boss is an example.

does fixed 1hit ko attacks single target at 40% and 25% hp (hits twice at 25). Before you pretty much had to use 3 revives and risk failing the mission because none of the other units are allowed to die really (you can only hold 3 revives).

now with 2 idols, ultor can easily tank those attacks (fun fact: idols actually make you immortal for the whole turn, not just 1 autorevive, so only 1 idol is needed to tank 2 ST infinite damage moves!).


(reason my items look off is because I miscalculated the 40% hp and ulkina died and had to revive).



Trying to find other uses now.


And yeah, i know, with triton I pretty much had no way of dying in the first place besides those special attacks

Piles and piles of Miracle Bulbs and Light Totems. Can't get dark stuff to save my life.

Piles and piles of Miracle Bulbs and Light Totems. Can't get dark stuff to save my life.

I wouldn't spend much time gathering Bulbs. Bulbs were created for evolution units exclusive to the Global version of Brave Frontier, and currently there are less than 15 of those units that use them (Ultor and Tridon being the only two worth the investment). All the other units in the game use Totems, Mimics, Spirits, Pots, Idols, and Nymphs.

Looks like Most Wanted unit event is coming again at the end of this month. Kinda wishing I'd saved up some gems

Lets see, the voting period is 23rd - 25th, so I'm assuming the summon event itself takes place on 26th - 28th.

There will be a total of 3 gems from the giveaway during that time, and I have 9 currently having gotten my weekly gem today.. so I'd need to get 3 gems from somewhere to manage 3 whopping pulls.

Eh, guess it's better than nothing!

Have you guys tried Gumi's latest game, Chain Chronicles? I'm really digging it, after not really caring for the 9000 other PaD/BF clones (Terra Battle, etc).
