I haven't seen that level, but if it's anything like the Zebra level of the current Terminus I'd start it the same way I do this one. With 4x Fujin potions to get the BBs up and running.

Same here.
I've been playing this since January.
Most played mobile game next to Slingshot Braves and Quiz RPG.

Oh boy is this Vargas Dungeon tough.
I could finish Terminus with 1.8M points, while sometimes dying early but still getting 900k+ always, but this dungeon... jeez...

Just cleared the first dungeon for Vargas with my mono water team. They kinda hurt and BB a lot each turn. Lets see how far I can go and I need to evolve Signas asap.

So people know, the second Vargas dungeon has no Fire units at all (except a Dragon Graven in a wave of 3).
Meanwhile it has a really nasty paralyzing Thunder wave.
Best not use a water party here.

I think you could always do it w/o a Tesla. You just have to spend gems.
From what I'm reading in other communities Zebra teams are having success without using a gem. Signas also seems to be a popular lead for mono water teams without Tesla.
Zebra without the scale back change JP had seems pretty unstoppable then.
I watched a friend of mine do terminus with one yesterday and one round killed bascially everything. It would appear that the vargas dungeon is no different.
In a sense it is pretty frustrating for me, since I have none of the working pieces to make that work given my repeat pulls. It just makes my account feel obsolete in general. I'm having a really tough time scoring well enough in FH to keep up in the top 50k when I used to be sub 10k.
Edit: Tried the vargas dungeon. Definately obsolete. ><;

My Zebra team didn't win without gemming.
I don't know how any Zebra team doesn't die before getting Brave bursts on that first wave. Even a Legwand Anima Zebra only has 6k health, and even with dark ore or the like that first wave can destroy that if they want to. I suppose you could Fujin a Tesla but that only gets you one more round. If you swap out a Zebra leader for Grah your crit damage goes waaaay down.
Having said that, once I gemmed and got Brave bursts, yah. Zebra is ridiculous.
*EDIT* Oh, I forgot about the existence of Fujin Tonics. Nevermind, I can see a set up that could win.

They are evolution items for the Global event units Zenon, Estia, and Blaze.
Wow, lost 1.2k FH places over night. Oh well, didn't need that extra hunter rank anyways.
EDIT: On the brighter side, I managed to take down Vargas with mono-water. After failing with a subpar crit-team, it took two gems with the following:
Serin x4 (lead, ~bb5)
Elimo (sbb1)
Felneus (friend, sbb10)

I see. I already got Bulbs for Xenon and Estia, and never got Blaze. So this one isn't for me.
Rina is pretty good due to quick bb fill, but lightning doesn't generate bb enough in general.
The ring out of the vargas dungeon should work good too.
What I'd like to run
Lodin (A) Dandelga
Eze (B) Angelic foil [leader]
Amy (A) undecided (either BB guage % stat orb/legwand/possible HP steal spear)
Amy (A) undecided (either BB guage % stat orb/legwand/possible HP steal spear)
Loch (B) Angelic foil
Amy's 9 hit count isn't great, but better than a large majority of thunder units and should help with the hit count issues, plus she could assasinate 1 person on turn 2-3 or with SBB end the match on turn 3-4. Also, she is one of the few units that could potentially absorb 2 hits from Eze/Elulu/Lodin/Loch in the same round and not die. Lodin to help get other's BB going and not sacrifice too much atk power/hp. Mostly anima to scale better with Eze's leader skill. Foils on loch/Eze for the obvious shock and awe damage potential to 2 hit characters on the first couple rounds. The other 3 characters wouldn't have a problem killing off another character on their own (especially considering most lightning units are paper thin). So, by turn 3, there should be 3 dead enemies minimum and only 1-2 casualties on my side in theory and the rest should be easy to mop up with just regular attacks, BB, or whatever.
What I'll end up running will be a loch, amy, Fennia, Elulu, and Zele or rashil depending on what evolution materials drop for me. Still haven't been able to craft the foils yet, wasn't good enough to pick up legwands and never managed to pull/catch an eze either, so I'm pretty far away from what I'd consider ideal. Of the featured units, there is only 1-2 that I'd actually want, so I'm not going to end up risking gems for this event.
Getting useful evolution materials out of this event is more than likely out of reach, since my stuff isn't maxed out in level never mind BBlv, so if I manage to score well enough for the token unit and some burst frogs I'll be happy.

Got another Thunder crystal from the honor summon. Oh yeah! Pulled a breaker Great Tree Alneu and fused my oracle Altro into it. It was only level 27 anyway.
My team is:
Rina (A)
Elsel (L)
Lodin (O)
Weiss (B)
Rashil (A)
Gonna run Muramasas on the other 4 and Royal Shield on Rashil. Hopefully level them up some more before the events start. Got no other replacement for Weiss, so he'll have to do.
Wanted Grybe, but pulled another tree.

Trying to get another thunder unit with my summon ticket and I get a breaker Leviathan. The rng has not been in my favor. Gotta get him to his 6 star asap.

Why did it have to be Thunder? I am almost ready for an Arena party of every other element, but Thunder I had nothing but 4* level 1s (other than a Rashil).
I guess we'll see what I can scrape together in time.
Unless you already have one you should never be disappointed with Leviathan.
Felneus is still up there with the best leaders in the game.

Well, depending on how things go, the daily ranking/participation rewards (if they are the same as before) would actually be somewhat useful to you since they are mostly aimed at the 3* and 4* evolution step. Only problem would be is actually securing wins amongst a potential sea of 6* level 100 enemies. Trying to grind out idols or pots in any signifigant quantity is going to be the major pain in the ass though.
May the RNG be always in your favor. ><;
Breaker Rina, I'd probably drop Amy for Rina as well.
Gumi needs to get a new product testing department.

Not only that, but with the issues they are having right now they decided to let everyone know they were having issues and are currently looking into it, but did so in their forums and neglected to say anything via their Facebook page.
It is a sad attempt to increase traffic to the forums and people only find this out if a mod decides to respond to their posts and provide this info.

You have to have one to need a "new" one.
Snarky I know, but I'm so sick of "competitive" events starting out with a large % of people unable to compete. Every FH, Victory Point tournament, and now Vortex Arena starts the same exact way, with numerous glitches and Unexplained errors.
I've already lost this Vortex Arena before it even started at the rate these glitches are going on. The lucky people have been able to connect but I've barely done 3 matches. And who knows why Gumi decided to start the Vortex Arena in the middle of the week anyway (and when school starts in many places) other than their desire to start events when Totems/Idols/Pots are up.
There is a news tab in game, they should use it more often.
Tuesday is generally the MMO patch day/night, since it gives them the bulk of the week to fix/repeal issues that occur due to changes.
----------
I keep getting a Unit(s) in deck is invalid error when using Amy, Rashil, Fennia, Loch, and Elulu. Earlier I was getting a no valid opponent(s) error.
I'd consider trying to test which unit is causing the error
nevermind, removed rashil and it let me in...

Elsel, Tesla, and Lira rates up.
I summoned and got a Tesla. Fantastic. With Tesla + Elimo there's very little currently known future content that can not be done.

Finally updated for me. Didn't get Tesla with 4 pulls.
I got (A) amy, (B) lucina, (L) golem, (B) honsbusi.
Amy's a duplicate and I really didn't need another fire unit right now. Lucina is water, which I don't have much of, but I'm not sure that she will be very useful for a while. Golem felt like a nice pull, but not what I am hoping for.
Oh well, summon ticket + 15 gems down the drain. Might be able to get 3 more quests done and make another pull before the rates return to normal though and get lucky...
