Is he a whale disguised as a fish?
Doesn't look like he's a whale tbh, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm not sure where the +15% mag(?) on his Exdeath comes from.
It's nice to know we can clear that content with 2 of the free characters that they gave us, but it does seem like a good amount of damage came from his mages. I hope we get the DQ event, that sword is amazing.
ExDeath was a friend. The other five where his characters. 3 being the free units(One gets introduced later), one being Bartz, and one being the tank pull on Lightning's banner.
The majority in this thread already have a better team by far then what he used.
But if people want to keep making excuses
Maxwell don't seems to have a lot of SPR, and is considered human, so yeah Exdeath is very effective against her.
Some materias come from King Moggle exchange, available during "grinding currencies" event, a few are exclusive to a specific character.
Our first one should be Final Fantasy Tactics by the way.

Of the three types of chaining, Element Chaining is by far the easiest to exploit. It is literally as easy to telling all of your units to cast the same spell at the same time (and then click then Repeat button in subsequent rounds) and stacks up to 200% bonus damage per cast per unit (3x total damage).

Well... should be gone tomorrow.
With a crappier banner.
Perfect excuse to hoard tickets/lapis and blow it all on Lightning in 3/4 weeks, depending on when we'll get Brave Frontier banner.
Personally I'm just getting one or two Ludmilla.
Same here. Want me some dual cast.
This is why you lock your units.
Sorry, man.
I'm gonna ask them if they can retrieve it.. lets hope they can.

I have a feeling I'm going to waste more than I should tomorrow on trying to get Kuja >.<
Is Kuja any good? I got one during my yolo all my tickets spree when this banner first dropped.
TheChillyAcademic
Member
Eh, not really lol
He's 5th in line at the Top 5 Mages in global right now and his kit leaves much to be desired. BUUUUUTTTTT
He's Kuja, so he's amazing, and he might get a potential 6* in the future so theres that!

Daily pullllllll
Luna.
Could be worse.
Luna.
Could be worse.
Is she any good? I pulled a 4* version of her but never bothered with her because she's not a main FF character >.<
Is my party okay?

As an actual unit? Meh, nothing too special.
Her TM, Trust Mastery reward however is Barrage...which is effectively the best physical attack skill in the game. Worth it to put the skill on other PHY damage dealers who don't have it.
Like Garland.

You and I need to start a WoL support group. The good news for me is that I'm not even tempted at pulling anything from now until either the Secret of Mana or Type Zero banners, if we even get them.
My team is pretty much stacked in all ways in my pursuits of going for WoL and being disappointed. Hell, I've got 70% TM on Lenna already and she hasn't even seen battle yet.
Dont quote me on it but im pretty sure you can log-in to your facebook before playing the Tutorial.

I agree. This is what I've been doing the last few days and I feel like I should be farming hero rings or something instead.

I'll add to this:
-- Group resistances are not necessarily needed right this second, but are one of those "really good abilities to have in your back pocket if needed" for future content. Low priority, but should be placed on a watch list for future consideration.
Full list of available craftable/obtainable group resist abilities:
** Barwatera: Silver Chest - Grandport
** Baraerora: Silver Chest - Lanzelt Ruins
** Barstonra: Silver Chest - Westersand
** Barblizzara: Silver Chest - Wolfsgang (mentioned previously)
** Barfira: Colosseum BGN-C-4 clear reward
** Barthundara: Colosseum BGN-B-2 clear reward
** Light/dark resist spells do not exist currently in an obtainable form on Global.

I've been slowly dumping daily vortex runs for the 50 lapis into Lenna, but its so.... slow. 3 ADV runs = 4 levels is almost soul shattering.
I guess I can be motivated to burn energy portions if Ainsel tomorrow mandates a Curaja healer. Otherwise, I'd rather save the potions for the likely return of Cactaur Dunes next weekend.

I haven't been saving those potions either, but I definitely will from now on for cactaurs. I'm also leveling a Lenna.
and WoL don't hate me guys
Benefit of hardly ever pulling... I rarely have units to level up! Right now I have... Kain and Rydia I guess?
Right now, it's better to TM farm and use the Cati from FP to level up units.
Woot, finally got the mats for six more hero rings. Now I can do something else like farm more upgrade mats for whenever I actually pull a decent character to level up.
So far I've got five hr, one baking, mats for six more. All quests/story mode finished, all characters max level, all easy to normal trophies knocked out, coliseum completed, all optional and esper bosses defeated.
Only thing I can think of is TM farming and hoping my horrible luck that I can pull a decent future 6* character when the next good banner drops. Also looking forward to the new event tomorrow?
I guess most people would be sick of this game by now, but I want more....
Starting to think it's very very difficult to get a good pull using tickets. Outside of the 10 tickets launch, I haven't had a good pull since.
Edit: Almost forgot, haven't leveled my espers to lv2 yet, guess I should work on that before TM.

Well, Demon Chimera beaten, mainly thanks to my CoD doing most of the work (Rank 2* Ifrit and Beast Killer helped). I only have to bring Exdeath to level 80 and farm rank exp ad nauseum for a few weeks I guess. I also need a lot of Farplane Souls (spent those to create basic abilities for the trophies, and realized just now that I need them for MP+10%).
Dude, I've being reading your jp rolls, and I'm doing a few for fun here... and I just can't stop laughing:
- first jp roll: 4 Sabins, Shadow... 2 Tiliths
- second jp roll: Agrias, Ovelia... and tons of horrible units
- third jp roll: Hope... tons of Sabins... maybe one or two good units.
- fourth jp roll: nothing! NOTHING!
Now I'm thanking God to the units I have right now in Global!
Okay, yes: Rain gets a 6* evolution in the future and becomes quite awesome. Vaan has Full Break which, to me, is kinda essential, as it helped me in a lot of the bosses.
Oh. I did a quick look while writing that post and didn't see the 6th unit. Freaking Exdeath concealing teammates lol.ExDeath was a friend. The other five where his characters. 3 being the free units(One gets introduced later), one being Bartz, and one being the tank pull on Lightning's banner.

Hmm maybe I should try using more than 1 mage then. Is it worth using an extra mage or two instead of using CoD/Garland? They won't have the same amount of MAG compared to my Kefka though.
I'm pretty sure you can but I'd advise you not to do that unless you don't want to reroll. Rerolling for a better team isn't necessary but it can help. Honestly if you play the game long enough, you're bound to get amazing characters.
Damn... nice. That's basically my team but with Chizuru instead of Firion and Kefka instead of Exdeath.

THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING
My team is already locked in with my FB account. I was just trying to setup on another device last night to not burn out my phone and it kept prompting me to play through the tutorial. I was just checking if I missed something on the main screen before I start.

Last night I finally made it to Frost Dragon and tapped its ass. What should I do with Coliseum points now? I wonder if ADV tier has come out in Japan yet.
Since I think farming TM without the Moogles is sheer lunacy, all I have to work on now is leveling Espers and waiting for my friend gift trophy to complete so I can get that damn Hero Ring recipe. Once I'm done leveling Espers I'll go back to HR ingredient farming but can make two right away when I get the recipe. Since it's not really supposed to shine untl 6* not worried about stocking up on them right this second. I only have a max of 30 friends so taking a while to complete that achievement but almost there ;p I haven't received nearly as many gifts as I've given because I had a habit of keeping on strong units in my friends list even if they didn't play anymore but I've started removing them for gaffers lately.
Does leveling Espers to 2* lower their stats like awakening units does? I forgot to check when I got Golem to 2*. Basically I want to know if I should prioritize leveling an esper back up when it hits 2* versus getting more espers to 2*. I started with Golem to teach WoL Provoke and Cover and now am about to get Ramuh to 2*. I might do Ifrit before Shiva just because I already have him at lvl 18 but I'm thinking I'll do those two and then wait for Diablos since Siren sucks. So yeah, does leveling the 2* Esper give a significant enough stat boost to units to warrant going out of my way to continue farming magicite for them?

True, but there is only so much FP grinding one can take in a day though without a macro running. And sometimes, you just want to dump your energy so that you don't have to look at the phone again for a few hours.

Excuse me, princess? Talking smack about Rydia :/
On the other hand, I just realized that I have been crippling my side project by not feeding Rydia limit breaks via Fina's Entrust skill. I could have been at least one or two limit break levels higher by now. Bah humbug.
Oh well. Trophy #47: 1000 espers summoned, obtained.

ADV Colosseum in JP? Nope.
Espers awakening to 2* lower stats? Nope, unlike units. Stats only go up. Also, the xp curve for espers at 2* is much easier than at 1* from 1-30 (you pay that back and then some at 31-40 though).
2* Esper skills: Most espers gain access to some solid skills (Siren is questionable), such as killers at 2*. Golem learns Provoke, which is big for any tank on a team.

Well i tried asking to recover my Lenna and they couldn't
Sorry to hear that. At least there is still a chance to pull her again tonight, if you want. There's always Garnet in a week or so, but she's going to be WoL/Chizuru hard to pull though.

Damn, weird that it's not out in Japan since they have enough continents added for multiple bosses. So anyone have an answer on what stage I should use Colosseum points on now? What are you guys doing with it? I'll at least do 3 a day for the daily but wondering if there's a reward worth grinding.
Nice, I should probably prioritize getting all of them except Siren to 2* then before maxing any 2*. This way I can get the useful skills sooner too since I have tons of points by not using any on the 1* grid. That's how I was able to instantly learn Provoke and Cover with Golem. Looking forward to seeing what Ramuh has at 2* soon.
