for diety you need to burn 1 essence every attempt at an upgrade so most ppl use only S rank so 25% +fail bonus, otherwise you would waste a huge amount of essence using A rank allies

Strong points. I've only bought Ancient Essences so far to get Storm Bear - I've been getting light essences from dungeon running at a decent clip. I've wasted more than I care to admit already trying to get Blackaria up to speed. I've got like 5000 rubies thanks to that raid trick, so maybe it's time to splurge on essences and perhaps a few 10-packs?
With respect to equipment farming, I've been doing nothing but Myth Rag. All my Deus attempts were from ruby farming on new characters and I have a few U drops scattered among allies and characters. I have so much trash SS pieces that I've been keeping just for upgrade purposes, but is this a waste of inventory space and gold? Am I supposed to be farming for tickets and equipping Deus stuff?
yes most ppl are using deus rag gear, for dps though you can use 4U and 2SSS pieces for the additional crit dmg. you can use the trash SS to upgrade the 2SSS pieces since the gold price isnt as high as U gear

I try to make first enhance attemp of U gear with SSS item and then follow with SS with +18, +27 , +36 , .... etc bonus for previous attemps.
I gotcha. So I'm basically wasting my time upgrading normal Rag gear if I just want to progress through Chapter 3 (I'm currently getting destroyed in Ch 2 Myth)? Buy tix and run Deus ftw?
Kk. Realistically speaking, it'll be quite some time before I'm able to get my guys wearing a full set of anything, so I'll avoid upgrading single pieces that are below SSS until I've pieced together the complete 6-piece.
While I do that, I'll focus on maxing out my dudes. Ultimate is too much an investment of SSS units and I think I'd rather save them for the next wave of Bodens.
Jesus lol
normal rag gear isnt bad as a stop gap until you get enough deus rag gear,
but i think most ppl now just run normal rag because you need 10 shop pts to buy the deus rag ticket. Any drops you get from normal rag are more or less fodder to enhance with, but equipping your guys with enhanced rag gear is fine until you burn enough tickets on deus rag to get full gear

You can make quite nice 4 normal rag+2 deus rag sets for characters which will cary you through while farming for U stuff.

If it's not released in Korea then that's like 8+ months wait for global. So I'm foddering all of them.
Haven't received mail yet. They are probably sending in waves.

I've got Turq too 
Same here. I think he's my 5th now. No biggie, trash SSS have utility as deify fodder. I'm just wondering which unit to prepare because originally I was going to go for Falcon but people seem to be all about Magritte because of her summon ability. Good problem to have, I suppose.I got Sorcerer Mer. I probably don't need him, unless he's miles above Mara or Porin
Plenty of time to grind and decide. Maybe I'll be able to get both by the time they release.

1140 rubies and 2M gold spent but Storm Bear is mine
So my main team now is:
- meteor mage
- Gaela Max+1
- Blackaria Max
- Storm Bear Max
- DDC Max
Next step getting Gaela to Ultimate
Also if someone is interested special 300 ruby pack of summons first gives 9 random ones then 1SS so it's possible to fill A or S parts of Platinium summon bonus gauge with them.
@Ventara - They finally sent mail with SSS for pre-registering for chapter 3, and 10% off essence bundle will be ending tomorrow if you want to buy any.

The pre-registration codes for chapter 3 went out today. Otherwise, not much. People still farming Deus Rag and trying to get higher ranked in Lab and WB.

Storm Bear is quite nice in lab.
I was usually dying at around 2000k points when doing auto run - now I can comfortably get to 2600-2800k.
On the other hand I was getting floor 78-79 when using manual without him and getting wiped now I'm getting floor 80 and getting wiped
I need to arm him with 6U set since i'm using 2U+4deus rag so far.

Not till early to mid March, from what I've been hearing.
Great, that gives me enough time to ULT one of my guys. It will probably be Blackaria, although Storm Bear is too good to pass.

Dat feeling when you can deify 2 units, but you don't have the money to cover the last + for both and you cannot cover the deify cost either...
Last day on essence discount.. Should i buy 20 boden (storm bear) and 20 dark (gaela) or who cares, it's 60 rubies more at worst?

There should be 10+1 event on boden and angel essences next week so nearly identical
the 10+1 essence event changes to ancient and dark tomorrow so dont worry about it
as for gold i would get storm bear first so you can progress further in lab, also with him you can auto further to get more gold more efficiently
I was able to Ult Hawk and Mikaela last night. Hawk is an absolute BEAST. He just kills everyone one after another and dodges attacks with his 86% eva (saw someone with 100% eva 0_0), and then vanishes, so the enemies just have to stand there and take it. Ended up giving him my Varying Attack U card. Hope I didn't waste it. Mikaela is pretty good, too, though she'll really be put to the test once I have her face Golem.
Anyways, is there any use for warriors anymore? With Paladin being better at them in labyrinth and raids, I feel their role has become obsolete. Also, what priest skill set is best for Hydra? Is it the same as Golem (0/11/0, 12/10/11/0) or ???
Edit: Btw, since I'm not in a guild anymore, I don't have anyone to help me finish up raids for my alt character. If there's anyone here with a geared up rogue willing to help, I'd appreciate it. Need to do it for 3 characters (or as many as you're willing to help with). I'll of course help all your alt characters through raids in return.

I got killed in Arena by Hawk +2 or +3 yesterday - after I wipped all his buddies and ressurected whole my team with Shabelle helper.
So no extra Gold this month. Damn.
Also I usually tend to dodge teams with Blackaria + Kymael in Arena because they're usually a pain in the ass, but if I had to choose between a team with Aria + Kym and a team with a Hawk, I'll dodge Hawk. He's a goddamn killing machine.
I had a five minute Arena fight between my Kym and Storm Bear against the other guy's Storm Bear because I couldn't kill him on time for his 1HP skill to kick in again. Five minutes.

sooo..
craft storm bear today OR during the next ally enhance bonus event? i've got everything..
essences(10), gold (800000 for deify, 1m for "other use"), essences for maxing (20)..
risk overspending essences OR wait?
my deity team needs to grow! #teamMOARDeity
I'd definitely wait until the next ally enhance because essences don't come cheap. And you'll need them when the next wave of Bodens come I guess. But if you're like me, you've probably deified him already.
I've actually switched Llywelyn for Storm Bear because his Fenrir is just so damaging, but I think they're pretty much on par with each other. Bear has the edge with his 1HP skill.
Blackaria is a must for any team. Foxy is great, but get a Blackaria first.

he was saying brightspark
i *hope* he has DBA already.. after deifing her first, i have to agree..
going from ult mer to max blackaria it felt like night and day :X
I definitely want Blackaria, but my main character is a healer already so I thought focusing on other roles first was a better option. I also alteady have Brightspark almost at Ult, so thats why I said I am debating DBS or Foxy. OTOH to ult Mercedes I need a bunch of SS fodder and that will take some time I guess so Blackaria will have to wait. :/
Btw this is my first Deity, so I am still a bit new to all this and a bit confused too. Took some time to understand how the process works. I have the money and the essences for 1 of each of the groups (dracos, angels and bodens) just gotta take care of ulting some SSS characters now.

Not so fast
Do You have resources to change your new deity into +MAX ?
Otherwise your non draco Brightspark at Ultimate will be more powerful than fresh Draco Brighspark
Also it would help if you told us whole SSS team so first deity can supplement rest of them and fit into one of formations.

plus man, you have main healer right?
for me, the perfect first deity would be a propr deity tank..
if you have a strong sss tank already, you can go for the dps, but if you have a non-meta -non-deity sss tank, i'd rather get a stormbear or a ddc at this point..
you will keep him alive for now, and that should boost you a little through lab..
then!
concentrate on a dps deity..
imho it should be
healer deity (if you're not an healer)
tank deity (if you're not a tank)
dps deity (fill fill fill!)

Hmm, I dont think I do. Should I reconsider it then? :|
My team, besides my healer, is Brightspark, King Gram, Belle Snow, Captain Fulsion. They are all +5 or +6, besides BS who is ulted already. I keep re-arranging my team all the time too to experiment though. I am not even bothering with equipment yet, they are not unequipped but I am also not farming or anything, just going for what the bosses or those daily dungeons drop.
Thanks for the advice! I was thinking about Stormbear too, him oy Kymael. They both seem really strong. Ugh I am so bad at choosing things. >_>

go with storm bear..
kymael's meta is gone as far as i understand..
if you have a paladin ready for deify, i would stash him, get storm bear now and deify falcon (boden paladin) at a later stage..

First priority get everyone to +max level , after that I'd go Storm Bear ->max, Gram -> Ultimate, and try to get one of DPS deities to replace Belle Snow after that.
Edit: I've bumped Gaela to Max+4 plus finally got last 2 pieces of U armor for Aria and reset my Noble Chivalry since it had weird point distribution and my labirynth score jumped to 4040k and 89 floors
Only 150k separate me from last guy in top 1% on euro server.
