All of your facebook friends play the game ? I dont how it works but i would assume it only adds/shows people playing the game.
Well the facebook account I made was specifically for the game, and it is in a couple of groups dedicated to the game. So I assume they all play the game, but who knows.
Ah okay that makes sense - thought you were talking about your personal FB account.

Pulled Edgar. Finally, something that doesn't suck.

I had that same struggle.
After some good advice, I changed up some accessories, crafted Blind and was victorious. I cruised through the rest of the A ranks and just hit S1. I imagine the difficulty will be ramping up shortly.
Ehh something is wrong. I'm tempted to just quit this game now, because I think something is somehow bugged.
So, all my main team is maxed out. I'm bored, and want to experiment with some new units. i have over about 2500 lapis and decided, why not? And before anyone says blah blah don't spend your lapis, yeah, I get it. But if I ran out of in-game currency and liked the game, no problem, I just buy more currency. I'm that kind of player.
Preface this by saying my very first lapis pull was Kain and he's been my main unit on this account.
So, I do a 500 lapis pull and it gives me a Kain. Annoying, and I figured it was just bad luck.
Frustrated a bit, I say fine, I'll just pull again. Gives me Kain again.
At this point I just close the game. But then I thought, hmm, would the game really give me the same unit... AGAIN? what are the odds?
Third pull. Another Kain.
Well, fuck.

Brave Frontier does have a party cost limit, at rank 135 you can have enough cost equip 4 6 star units and 1 seven star unit.

You should grind their trust master to get gungnir then!
That's really not something I care about doing at this point. I wanted something new. It's really disheartening to me that it would happen 3x in a row. And for a unit I already had.
That is Gacha game.
What happened to me this week is even worst.
Bleach 1650 orbs (63 pulls for 1 5*)
One Piece 50 gems (10pulls for 9 dupe 1 new 0legend)
GBF 45 pulls 0 SSR
Cant imagine how i will handle if couldnt get Gogeta with 550 in dokkan battle.
Time to quit all gacha games.
This game is still in softlaunch mode so there is no need to overreact. Then again if 3 unlucky pulls outside of an event are already bothering you this might not be the game for you.
Also having multiple Cain units isn't the worst thing in the word, considering how man enemies are Dragons in the game... with 2-3 Cains + Dragon Slayer you should be able to clean up some stages. There are way worse pulls then Cain.

Before you make some sweeping generalizations you have to realize that many of us are vets that have been around long enough to see absurd streaks and strokes of luck (good or bad). Not necessarily in BE, but at least with other gacha games.
It might or might not be. I think disappointment with something like that is completely justified, but let's not jump to conclusions. If low probabilities never happened no one would win the lottery.
And just like every gacha game, if everyone on reddit posted their shitty pulls it drowns out everything else.
also here is someone pulling Kimahri's spear (lol) three times on a FFRK festival, on stream because why not
Gonna echo this advice. Not to sound snarky but if you have a low stomach for RNG, especially ones that affect your progression, you should avoid gacha games like the plague, regardless how well put together (or not) they are. That shit can eat at your soul.
won't deny stockholm syndrome - gacha is really a terrible mechanic to build games on yet here we are
Try 4 Kain, 1 Cecil? The enemy can only attack Cecil half of the time, and the other half, Cecil will protect them 30%(75% at 6*) of the time.
Just wanted to say to you that this was fucking brutal. I hope this never happens to me. Im sure there are worse things to pull, but...well shit.

That reminds me of the pulls I did in the last FFRK fest. While failing to get a Wall, one of my pulls had 3 rainbow orbs. I got all excited, only to be greeted with 3 of Steiner's Ultima Sword
. I was livid.
(I ended up with 6 total by the end of the banner)
I mean it's all random... the same way a f2p will be able to pull 2 Top Tier units in 4 pulls the a pop whale might not pull a single food unit in +20 pulls. It sucks of course but that's the game, we know what we signed up to.
Comparison would be lottery numbers... they are also random BS and you would never say the numbers or system are broken because of ridiculous that got drafted.
At the end its all about expectations... if you pull 3 times outside of an event you are likely to get screwed over, also the unit pool is still relatively small so dupes are even more likely.
I also pulled a bunch of times already just to expand my Roster but it seems are easier satisfied than most Gaffers xD Yiu can't lose too much with lowered expectation - I'm happy for units like Vivi or Cyan... while not Top Tier they open up new skills/options for my whole gang. It also helps that you know the characters from the main game.
PS. I think you would be more pissed of you had pulled someone like Bedile... Kain will be getting a nice 5* version down the line.
GieF me 10% of your Lapis thank you
.I decided I could use another gacha unit instead of Lasswell, thus having 5 gacha units in team to collect TM. Pulled once. Got Cyan (dupe), yeah not adding second Cyan for team
. Oh well rng is rng and I still got over 5k Lapis (baseline for me atleast til we get official release).We could ship your 3 kains with My 3 rydias. It really is rng, nothing more than that. I'm a vet optc player since day 1 And it Took me over 460 days to get My First legend. So far i pulled Every sugo at least one or two namis. Your pulls could really be worse, you Should be happy.
My tip is a combination of what Sasuke said and the fact that you are pulling too early.
Just wait a bit! The smaller the hacha pool the higher your chances go keep getting the same unit.
Being able to save your gems and pull only on the events where you think you're actually getting cool shit is the rule number one of the F2P players.
Soon we are getting 10 summon tickets, once the game launches. And there would be events with rate ups and stuff. Wait until then!
About to encounter Europa (i think).
Any think i should prepare for ? The last couple bosses all were immune to poison, paralyze/sleep etc. - i guess it the same with her.
Edit:
Oh wow...just tried and got destroyed real quick. Not even 1/4 of the HP down. Ouch....
On my team he has been quite the MVP with Blade Bash though - really helps out to dominate/manage the mobs.
If leveling units wasnt such a drag i probably wouldnt mind another attacker with Blade Bash.
At least here you actually can use dupes in your team - in OPTC you only can have a single version of a character in your group ...making it quite worse.
...yep, thats the main point as well - no matter how much you screw up yet we all are getting 10 free Premium Pulls down the line anyway. If you really get nothing useful after that 10-pull during an event...okay yeah than you probably should be pissed xD

dude, i pulled 5 lunas. Can you imagine how i feel? lol.
But, instead i look to the good side. I can farm those 5 lunas to get rampage, one of the best phys skills in the game.
And, i have 5 kains too. And i gonna farm them to get gungnir.
Now, imagine a Kain with gungnir, rampage and ifrit lvl 40. That's the good thing about this game. Any unit can be powercreep with TMs
Beat the A3 boss just now. Was somewhat easy with the anti poison/blind ring and glasses. Rather curious how my team will do vs S5 boss, but I'll still got long a long way to go, I guess.
I'd be stoked if I had pulled 4 Kains, haha. Would so get that Gungnir. 90 atk weapon yes please.
Don't pull during no rate-up expecting good results. I guess this is also why rerolling is somewhat important. It's the only time when you really have control over what you'll get.
We'll get it for sure
Edit: Using 10 tickets when there's no rate-up will probably get you 3 more rydias, 2 bediles, penelo and 4 more Kains tho. Just have some self control, lol.

I defeated europa with this lineup:
Vaan lvl 80
Terra lvl 75
Cyan lvl 60
Edgar lvl 60
Kuja lvl 37
Kuja used barthundara and thundaga
Cyan spammed blade bash
Edgar used sunray and chainsaw
Terra used firaga the first turn and then just cura lol
Vaan with the full break and raging fists
I was very lucky but barthundara and full break made europa attacks not devastating.
Dont think its doable with my core team of cecil rain lasswell anzelm and maria, just too much dmg, and dont think i can use friend point fillins... guess this is where i stop til i cam roll some premium units, probably focus on ifrit and siren 2.
Game needs to laaaaaunch
With Vaan you could further lower his attacks by casting Focus and get that party +40% SPR bonus,
Decided to do a pull to fill in the last spot and gor Krile, another healer might not be such a bad thing. Will focus on leveling rank instead of her though until I actually get stuck on a boss.
Yes, I want to finally be able to make purchases, I'm sad I missed the early bird bundle, I even looked for some Sweden iTunes gift cards but no luck.
Hoping for a launch promotion.
By the way, I heard colosseum is getting replaced by PvP down the line, so we should rush it to get everything?
Colosseum is still there. Just when you tap on the Colosseum icon you'll get pvp first and then have to tap another icon to get to colosseum.
Oh I see, thanks, I worried for a bit.

I wanted to reroll my JP account but I only got one ticket in the beginning. One month ago I think I got 10 tickets when I started a new game.
So I've been selling some fresh accounts, but I wanted to start clearing out some boxes since they are piling up. So if anyone is interested I'm giving away a few fresh accounts. I have a 3 star Cloud of Darkness, a 3 star Bartz and a 3 star Exdeath I'm looking to get rid of.
If you're interested in any one of those 3 just send me a PM of which you are interested in and the info of the facebook account you want it attached to.

All this talk about pulling make me want to.
Gonna do a single pull right now.
Got a second Edgar who came in as a four star. I got all excited for a moment. Do I combine them or level another to put two in my team?
Lmao did three more pulls because whatever I don't care any more. Got Sabin, Fran and......... Another Edgar!!!!

Hit Rank 25 earlier today.
Was stuck on S4 but I JUST beat it. Poison and Paralyze really helped.
Currently, I'm leveling up Duane (Dark Knight). He's LV 52, 5* right now. Going through Chamber of Experience ADV. After that, I'll level up Lasswell. He's at LV 46, 5*.
Ifrit is LV 18, 2*. I put him with Duane when leveling but other times, I attach him with Edgar. I have Raging Fist and Beast Killer. Will aim for Plant Killer and ATK + 60 then decide where to go from there.
1600 Lapis and I think I've pulled maybe 4 or 5 times total? Trying to save them but I end up recovering energy, but all this talk about pulling also makes me want to try my luck, lol
Definitely looking forward to future content.

you should farm with a team of the 3 of them to get his TM
Try to max terra. Graviga and Raise are nice pulls, and she could be a nice magic damage user with firaga.
Then if you only have that units, max Laswell. He with Murasame and Ifrit should be your main nuker (210+ atk).
Your team could be a solid Terra, Laswell, Roselia, Kain, Shantotto.
Thanks! Yeah I'm maxing her then trying to figure out who is next. I didn't actually know she gets graviga. Guess it's Laswell.

I think you can get both stealing from colosseum C5 (T-rexes have God's Reliquaries for sure), with the bonus that you can also stock up on Heaven's Ash for other characters' 4* and 5*.
