The starter dungeons are back. I never got to try these. Magress will finally be mine and also all anima typings or bust!

Just let Selena sooth your wounded soul
Also I'm so glad frontier hunter is ending tomorrow. Grinding it is so monotonous and the faster I don't need to see Narza's stupid face the better.

damn it... people are summoning feevas
seems like you can evolve them to 7* too!
shiiiiitt... wonder if I can resist...
I mean, you summoned 8 and didn't get any, so I think it would be safe to assume the RNG is not with you this day. At the very least hold off til tomorrow

I decided FH grinding is not worth my time and just ran each stage once to get all the stage rewards. Even if my HR only goes up by 1 each time I will get all the HR rewards eventually.

Don't fall into the trap everyone. There is no rate up on the new units and the rates are SUPER LOW. Some people even trying well over 50 times and getting no new units.
AVOID. Wait for the fan favorite summon gates where rate up usually applies.

Absolutely, lol. The rates are terrible. So much money wasted by users all over.
Stuff like this is why I do not spend on this game anymore. Haven't done so in almost 6 months.
I still can't get the last two rewards on terminus FH
Tried a bunch of different things but really only managed to even beat the damn thing once with my normal team and I think a maxwell friend:
Orna (leader)
Ciara
Shera
Zelnite
Elza
Tried swapping in Shida for Ciara and switching leader to Zelnite and it kind of went worse lol.
Narza just tends to one shot my entire party at seemingly random times. Maybe it's after a certain hp or something. Guess I should read a guide.

How are you starting round 1? Did you pop at least 2 fujins and maintain bb spam from the start and maintain until Narza?

Narza has an attack called Wrath of the Gods. Magic and Dark Souls referenceI still can't get the last two rewards on terminus FH

Anyway, it does massive aoe damage and has killed my Shida before even with mitigation when he's not topped off. It also removes all buffs.Have you tried Lario or a Rosetta friend? Keep Shida for sure.
Hmm. I usually take the healing item set. Even if I pop a fujin, it's tough for me to keep the full BB gauges full :/ I usually work it so I hit Narza with full BB but I only knock him down to half on average then I'm stuck with no BB.

I think I have one friend who has a Lario. Lol. Rosetta usually gives me some success but not that many high level Rosettas on my list either.
I'll try again today and keep doing low level quest till I find a Rosetta or my single Lario and do it with the offensive item set and see how it goes.
What's really saddening to me is the one time I beat it, I got 1.285 million points. I was SO close to the sphere :/
edit: General question. For a super BB like Zelnite or Shida that generate BB gauge, does it generate more based on the SBB level does the SBB level just dictate damage?

Zelnite gets more damage, bc, hc and item buff increases, but his 8 bc per turn stays the same.
Shida gets more bc from 8 to 10 and his sbb cost decreases from 21 bc to 12 bc.
Try the marauder set with a Rosetta friend and your Lario.

I think you have the wrong approach cause you should always get offensive set just for the fujins.
How you should start is pop 2-3 fujins immediately at the start that will allow you to fill up bb gauge for all yur units AFTER that first attack. I always give a fujin to Zelnite for that bb gauge fill, and he should always be the last one to use BB so your party won't waste his bb.
As long as you have two targets on screen, you should almost always be able to maintain bb spam. That is the goal for terminus.
The roadblock is Narza because he is single target and it will be very hard to have your bb charged after first attack. The goal is to use just enough bb to not kill him in the first turn and be able to finish him off with normal attacks by the consequent rounds. If you don't kill him by 2nd round, you have to use your mitigation bb or you'll be wiped.
After Narza, the goal is to maintain bb spam again. Zelnite is key!
My team: Feifang lead, Orna, Zelnite, Tridon, Kuda, Yujeh, Rosetta friend. Very similar to yours

Good thoughts guys. I'll take another stab at it!
Note, I don't have a Lario
I have one friend with one. If I can get them to come up out of the 50 I'll use them lolhypersheep

When the Lance Vortex dungeon comes up, I would avail yourself of the opportunity to try and get a Lario. Also I put my Rosetta up in case you want to use it.

you need new friends. most of mine are larios and rosettas during FH.
I guess the one plus of summoning today, finally got an andaria. Not pulling for the last few SBS...get them anyways
I do need new friends. I think I'm just going to straight purge my friendlist except for the GAF friends I have. I have a million Zelnites, Elzas and Ultors on my list. Just no good.
I've now run the very first 3 energy quest 6 times trying to cycle my list to a Rosetta. Sigh.

I generally fuse fodder to bring my BB and SBB halfway there and then burst frog the rest of the way.

Note, I don't have a Lario
Lario is farmable in quest mode/vortexes (unfortunately the Lance dungeon won't be around until after Frontier Hunter is over) and is definitely worth putting some time in to get one. With a Rosetta/Elza friend and his 40 hits SBB he's extremely easy to spark with.
And I definitely recommend the Marauder item set for your current FH runs. Here's a run down of how I've been playing FH:
Team: Maxwell, Shida, Tridon (I don't have a Mitigation + attack unit), Lario, Kuda + friend Rosetta or Elza. If Rosetta or Elza aren't available I swap out Maxwell for Deemo and use a Maxwell friend.
Round 1: Pop all 4 Fujin potions on Kuda, Rosetta, Lario, and Maxwell, and use Attack up. Use 4 SBBs (Kuda > Rosetta > Maxwell > Lario) and attack with others. Following this round I use attack up every round.
Round 2: SBB everything (Shida > Kuda > Rosetta > Maxwell > Tridon > Lario). If more than one enemy survives this, I use Shida's BB instead of his SBB. This scenario gets repeated every round after 3.
Round 3: My SBB varies here depending on how well I sparked. Other than Lario and Kuda, the other units may or may not have their SBBs so I just use what I have. I usually hope I don't kill Narza but if I do I normally still have enough SBB for the next round. Biggest issue is if I kill Narza in one round and Tridon doesn't have BB. If this happens + Maxwell doesn't have SBB, I could loose a few teammates in the next round.
Round 4: Same as round 2. If there's a worse case scenario from Tridon and Maxwell not having SBB, it means Kuda, Maxwell, and Lario are now dead since they don't have any HP increasing spheres so I bring Kuda and Maxwell back with Revives and finish the round.
Round 5 & 6: Same as Round 2.
With this set up I usually score 1.6 million but on non Narza rounds that take more than one turn, I can get to 1.7-8 with Shida adding to my score.

As I already mentioned, you shouldn't have to see a Rainbow door to get one of these units.
It picks a unit and a * rating. It colors the door based on the * rating it picked.
When you open the door, if the unit doesn't have that * rating, it will give you the unit anyway, which is why for the past 8 months or so you can open up a yellow door to get a red door effect, because lots of units have no 3* form.
Now you would just open up a yellow or red door to a rainbow effect because it has neither a 3 or 4* form.
If Gumi implemented it so you have to actually see a Rainbow door to get one of these, that's a fundamental change to the way door summoning works, and I don't see why they'd bother, when they can just set the odds lower...why muck around with the door summon logic itself?

Has anyone managed to pull an imp from the level 2 Vargas Vortex? If the encounter rate is really low, I feel that it would be better to run the level 1 vortex for the guaranteed crystal god instead.
Well they have to do something. Can't imagine anyone besides the super whales bothering to gem anymore.
I was actually ready to spend like $100 on today's batch if the rates were OK. Guess not. Luckily I have those oldies that got 7*. Ronel is a good feeva alt. Elimo is just an overall beast. Sefia and kikuri are both great bb generators and arena goddesses too.
Alice edea lira leorone golem and loch were announced to have 7* too so don't fuse those by accident!

FH got extended again lol? Whelp, I just crashed in FH and couldn't log in. It was stuck on loading. Nothing happened and I had to force close it. There goes an orb.
Hmm. I just did another FH try. Was up like 30 min ago.
I just got my Lily Matah to 6* this morning. If I was to use her as my FH leader (provided I get her leveled up quick), who would I replace? Elza? Zelnite? With lily boosting the BB gauge maybe Zelnite isn't as necessary? Elza with the spark damage and high hits seems more valuable....
Current:
Orna (leader)
Zelnite
Shida
Shera
Elza

lily matah doesn't attack, which makes her an awful FH unit.
Oh. Well that's easy then lol.
edit: Yay. Got my selena today. She was a 2* lol. Easy enough to get her to 3*. She's an Anima so might as well work on her.

Compensation for emergency maintenance was 2 gems, so with the 3 gems from the other compensation I HAD to YOLO summon. Got Reeze .

Maybe. I won't be surprised at all if they don't put the Kira batch in for voting on the Most Wanted since they are "special".

That would be hilarious. Sad thing is I'm inclined to believe, given their business approach, that this is exactly what's going to happen, or at the very most just two units from the batch.
