Yeah, been reading up on the six stars, and Firion will basically have a passive for everything in the game. Chizuru gets even MORE boosted attack at 6* level - as if she didn't have enough already. Bartz gets a major boost to his lackluster stats and some sweet AoE, and Garland could double as a tank with all that HP he ends up with - so I'm decently set up for a bit... Still will pull for the units I want though in the future, including a 6* tank unit of some sort
And Vaan is an amazing unit for now, even though not future-proof... yet. Happy for you that you finally pulled ExDeath. He's OP before six-star status. He'll be REALLY OP then - holy crap on what he gets. Best unit in the game that isn't a base 5*

Yeah Firion is a freak and hella strong; anyone know where we can view 6* info, like for Ex-Death ?
Double cast meteor what else do you need to know
Looking to the units of the new batch (FF9) we got that...
Salamander: 3star - 5star
TM: HP+30%
Notable skills: Chakra - Imperil - Raise - Throw - Gravity Fist
Garnet: 4star - 5star
TM: +20% all resistances
Notable Skills: Curaga - Curaja - Raise
Freya: 3star - 5star
TM: Accesory (Auto Regen, +20%MP +50%Dark Resist)
Notable Skills: ?????? Jump????
Lani: 3star - 4star (LOL)
TM: Equip Axe
Notable Skills: Be better than Fran and Anzelm
So.... Not worth lapi in my opinion... The 4star unit of the batch is Dagger, and if you have lenna now, there is absolutely no need to spend 20-30 tickets to get her... So if you are saving now for the next batch... it might be a good idea to bet on Warrior of Light now, because the FF9 batch might not be as exciting.... Unless zidane gets rates up, but i personally dont think 3star zidane will get rate up. 4 or 5 star zidane could get a buff in rates up, because flooding the server with dual weild could be very broken.

Cure spells don't heal her??
If pvp in global will get the same rules of JP (damage capped to 999 max per attack) its impossible to obliterate with only 1 character.
But if you have 2 mages with dual cast...

Had a moment of weakness a pulled
3star Cecil!!!!
Tank problem solved it seems!

Whay, first post for a 3 year lurker of the forums!
After whaling out around 40 pulls, teams is looking set for the future. Before the banner I had Leo, Bartz, Fina, Kefka and Vaan as my main team and a lot of TM fodder (mainly Zidane and Miyuki).
I just wanted a good tank to replace Leo eventually (hi there WoL) and Lenna to replace Fina as a main healer. Otherwise the team was set for the future.
After the first 20 or so pulls I already wanted to give up (thankfully got Lenna and fodder Tellah atleast this time, if that wouldn't have happened I'd just given up). Russells and Bediles galore <.<
Went into whatever mode and bought another pack. First pull Kuja. Decent atleast. Ooh a 4 star...Chizuru! Maybe my luck is turning around! Meh, another 3 star... CoD
Started pulling more and on the final ticket I got 3 star Garland.
Had mixed feelings at that point. I just wanted a damn tank, not all these DPSes... Of course I was also glad that I had a lot of future proof units in the bank.
Decided to go for 1 more pack... Tellah, Tellah, Shantotto. Yeah, clearly a bad idea.
5th pull, yet another 3 star incoming.. CECIL!
Finally I can stop wasting money on idiotic stuff!
Until Goddess Lightning-sama comes out....
Moral of the story, don't waste your money if you want to save your sanity.
Oh and cheers for the community around GAF!
This site has saved boring days at work/school countless times, and as per GAF tradition, I nowadays spend more time reading GAF than actually playing games <.<

Okay that's fucking hysterical.
If JPN timeline is correct, Cecil banner(along with 6 star update) should be around 2-2,5 months away from now (if Lightning banner is 1 month away).
This is all just speculation though based on the site below.

Thanks!
Pretty sure Cecil will fill the role just fine and has a great 6 star upgrade like WOL does so i can rest easy and save my tickets for my next favorite character
Haha, that's awesome. Congrats! It was a long-time coming, I hope you enjoy him.
Been lurking around and seeing you struggle with this, but now I can congratulate you! Grats on getting Exdeath!
Which unit will be your next bane though?
Does it feel like the cactuar drop rate got nerfed this event? I'm not getting quite as many this time it feels like
RNG is RNG is RNG. Haven't really noticed a difference since beta events. Just hope for the best
Atleast it's always better than solo exp vortex

Welcome to the thread Grezak. Post your friend ID so we can add you.
Also, I've played a little bit of Mobius, which is not bad, and there's this thing where you get Magicite (currency) over a days time up to 100 and you get a notifcation on your phone when it's full. I really wish Exvius had something like this. I'd love if I could have the option to get a notification when my energy if full or something is done crafting. Has there been an update to the JP version for something like this? Seems like a no brainer.

Just got a triple big cactuar run. It's anecdotal in both cases, so I'll go with the usual answer: nothing was nerfed.
But that can't go over 2000 and job summons are 3000. It also disappears after 14 days if not used. It feels terrible to me.

They actually changed that today. The magicite you get through that is now permanent. I think it works out that you will be able to buy the Mobius box for free every month now.

They totally nerfed it during the last event lol
After the first day the 15 NRG run categorically dropped less Giga-Cactuars lol
My suffering was well known! Welcome to GAF
Haha, that's awesome. Congrats! It was a long-time coming, I hope you enjoy him.
He was a 5* so I didn't do much leveling lol His maxed now so I'm stoked! Working at maxing Lenna atm.
Given that I have Cecil, for the moment my eyes are only towards WoL and Chizuru perhaps?
Wouldn't mind a Vaan for full break?
I've been fortunate with pulls and Ex-Death is the perfect partner for Kefka...EXCITE
Thank you!

Kicked a few passive friends so I have open slots again for GAF!
Wow, good move on their part. And nice reaction time too.

So glad I rerolled when I had the chance or I'd be so mad with this game. F2P and still going strong, got 7K lapiz and 12 tix still.but I really want a new event. Shits boring atm

Yeah demons unleashed is lame lol
Happy to have catuar dunes to help me max my characters and move forward in the game though
Just did 14 pulls for this banner and got absolutely nothing. I had three 4* crystals and they turned into Edgar and two Russell's. The rest were three stars consisting of Fran, Penelo, Cyan, Galuf and whatever other nonsense. It's not like my team is loaded with amazing characters either. It can certainly use more help. I was expecting to pull at least one of those new characters with all of those attempts.
Yeah, I get that the point of the game is that it's random or whatever but I'm 0 for my last 20 or so pulls on trying to get a solid character. But it's enough to make me feel like my time saving up lapis/tickets is pointless and that I should stop playing. My good characters are maxed out, the story is done until they update again. A good character or two would have given me something to work on for a bit. Oh well.

Speaking of boring, you can always try TM farming.
And if something is boring, it's that. Thank god for Nox, only sensible way to farm TM's atm.
Still so far away from DW
Damn those are some pretty damn good TMs.
Average seems to be a slight bit less than 1 out of 3 for a feature unit.
What seems to be up the most is the quality of the non-banner units.
Should be 2 decent melee units covered with those, first the blades were going for Bartz but todays pulls changed that. Gung+Doublehand still going to Vaan or 3rd melee dps instead of Kefka depending on boss/trial.
If we get a Zidane boost I might try for another DW since we can't stack buffs. I've no idea what to farm after these. Chiz+Cecil+2-3 Zidanes might be ideal (IF we get a decent rateup for Zidane, no chance otherwise).
Ah well, atleast I can farm TM during workdays <.<

Got Lenna, Tellah, and Locke (!). I really want to chase WoL, but I guess I'm rocking an all-mage/thief party: they can join Zidane, Cecil, Terra, Krile, and Kefka...
Or do I just make a party and AoE the crap out of everything after mugging for items?

Yeah hoping the Zidane boost is 3 stars above and not 4 stars.... I think it most likely going to be 4 stars. The only Zidane I got so far was a straight up 5 star.
One can always hope that we can get 3 star rate boost since we can't stack skills like JPN.
So far my only 5 star was also Zidane. Atleast it wasn't Gilbert <.<
Kinda shame that DW is so required on later content. Forces you to farm DW items/Characters. Ah well, shouldn't be a worry for global for a 4-6 months though.
I'm genuinely happy for you. You've been wanting Exdeath for a while now, so it's nice to see you finally get him (and at a base 5* form nonetheless, I had to level mine from 3* :/).
But yes, Exdeath and Kefka work well together. Have fun!
Also, I missed this...
O_O!
Congrats, Yogg. That's some insane pulls!
I don't see why they wouldn't boost the 3* either. I feel like there are more benefits towards for Gumi to do so.
Once people have it, they'll grind. They can also start to sell Trust moogles for a pretty penny. People will be less likely to leave then if they have something long term like that.
Quite true. That would indeed tie people to the game for a while.
But seeing how shameful the bundles have been for this banner, I wouldn't put anything past Gumi <.<

Welcome to being a non-lurker to GAF (from a previous long-term lurker myself)!
Cleared some spots and sent an invite. Grats on making rank 44 already.
TheChillyAcademic
Member
Thank you! Fellow lurkers unite
Also accepted the invites from you and Academic! About the rank, TM farming seriously hinders any rank gain so I've gained something like 1 or 2 ranks in 2,5 weeks.
Atleast while farming for Hero Rings you get decent rank exp along with the mats.
