Finally bested Karl! Fight was long. And the optimization issues are very apparent on the Android side...By the end of that fight, using a BB/SBB took 3+ seconds from the swipe motion until the activation. Items were taking 1-1.5 seconds to register.
Time to farm BB/SBB fodder. Is there a good list of what and where to farm for various units?
It's kinda weird - I find the optimization has actually gotten MUCH better on Android.
File checking is much quicker, but I also have a *lot* less lag while in-game after using multiple SBBs and such. Beforehand, the second I used a SBB, the game slowed to a crawl. Now it does if I use multiple SBBs while they are all executing and a ton of SPARKs appear, but once they slow down the framerate goes back up. I'm very pleased with it, really. I have a Galaxy S4, btw, so it's kinda old at this point.
I got Cardes this morning. I abused the SBB dropcheck bug like crazy and just built a team that had SO MUCH BC gen that I could at least run mitigation every single turn against single target. It was so easy, really.
My setup was
Leader Tridon with Urias + Sol Creator + friend Tridon (extra mitigation + HP = godly)
Elza with Lexida + Sol Creator (her SBB has 90 drop checks instead of 30, LOL)
Lario with Batootha (SBB has 80 drop checks instead of 40)
Ulkina with Drevas
Shera with Dandelga + Sol Creator
Was ridiculously easy. Shera could do at the minimum do BB mitigation every turn, Elza and Lario generated so much BC it was stupid (not to mention Lario's SBB bc drop buff!), Ulkina could attack pretty often while putting up her status mitigation defense (I didn't get hit by a single status the entire fight!) and Tridon took 2 turns to get full SBB every time.
Seriously, this bug kills bosses where BC gen is a factor. Apparently the problem is so deep in code that it needs to be fixed with a client update (and that often takes ages, so who knows how long it'll take them to react to that).
