It will be a matter of time before macroing is bannable.
But mechanics abuse like resetting dungeons, which guarantees perfect run all the time, I think is too much.
CCIE: Take a break from your main for a few days. Enjoy playing your alt and let it catch up.
That's what I did, when i can't pull any worthwhile units from my main, I played my alt until it caught up.
Just run TM on your main, do dailies, save Lapis and tickets. Try again when Cecil's banner comes.
There's no point for you to continue playing your main if it only gets you frustrated instead.
I think 5 is the max. Which has the minituars.
Altema has one. Do remember this is JP TM tier list, use google translate. My first 5 units in TM train were Cecil & 4x Shantotto.
Now Iam doing:
- Ludmille
- Terra
- Garnet
- Cecil
- Ludmille

I got to the end once. Before the final room there's only two choices. AFAIK one leads to 3 cactuars that drop 1 quartz each, the other is a gigantaur. Apparently LB pots show up as enemies rarely towards the end.
Sadly they drop Screamroots too. I did get to there once and it was:
1 Screamroot and 2 Star Quartz.
My alt has Garnett, Charlotte, Vaan, and Lightning. Shantotto is the mage. Seriously, enjoying this team more than my main where I can swap out virtually any big damage dealer. But a tank? Freaking game won't give me ONE on my main account. That team is STACKED, with weapons and options coming out my ears... but I cannot pull a 3* tank with a 15% rate? WTF...
Charlotte is the bomb on my secondary account, which is currently in the Westersand somewhere. And Garnett basically gets a Summon every other round as a mid-range 4*

I'll probably try to get Tilith the first time she'll be featured (with dailies and tickets the last day) but she almost won't be used until her 6*, don't really want to wait until the second banner, Vargas would drop the rates even more.
Really hope Cecil will be featured, in the Japanese version it was only Dark Knight Cecil/Kain/Rosa.

Nice, just got Ludmille from the daily today. I'm officially happy with my results from this banner. Got a Charlotte, Ludmille, then a few crap units. Lightning would have been nice, but I'm not doing more than a daily for her.
I have been moving to a new apartment for the past 5 days, so I haven't really gotten to dig in to the new content yet. Maybe later this week.

This girl get 3 rainbows crystal in 2 11 pulls.
I'm watching the Brave Frontier banner trying to see if you need amazing luck for Tilith.
EDIT : make that 4 rainbow with her 4th 11 pull x)

1. daily pull: Cyan. Probably pushed my luck with Charlottes and Ludmilles at this point.
2. LOVE this event. Also love that 10 nrg = min. 35K exp (one giant + one mini cactaur). AND a few sacred crystals thrown in? YEP.
3. Speaking of sacred crystals: Couple pages back someone asked about farming at the INT awakening chamber -- yes that's still the best AFAIK. Some runs you'll get zero, some you'll get two. Averages out over the long run to be about one per run. I usually wait until I have a couple units I need to awaken, though. Can hit about 10-15 SC per day if you're dedicated. Probably more.
4. Over the past day I've just decided to focus on leveling one unit to max at a time rather than a scattershot approach. I've maxed Leo, and while I was maxing Kuja / Garland, I landed Charlotte, CoD, and Kefka. So Kefka first, then CoD. So yesterday I was doing solo runs with Kefka (thank you friends with ExDeath!), but today farming cactuars in the event is such a good rate of return.
5. Disappointing to read the bit about maxed espers, but I had the suspicion already since espers were generally unnecessary in the main quest and even a wasted turn in Dirnado.

There's absolutely NO REASON to spent a single dime on this game at its current state. The gatcha system is complete garbage and the fact that you can walk away without a single "good" unit after an 11-pull would be a complete joke if it wasn't so fucking sad.
Go to Amazon and buy yourself a new game if you really want to spend money.

I think people should spend money on what brings them joy, and like a lottery ticket, you're spending money on WHAT IF, not a one in a billion chance of a lot of money. if spending money on this game brings people joy or they want to support perhaps SE's best product since FFX, they should. So get upset about Lightning rates all you want, but maybe not suggest the game isn't worth spending on or shit on the people that do so?
(FTP here, fwiw)
It's a random dungeon with one fight per level. One mini cactaur (5k exp on enhance) and one giant cactuar (30k) are minimums. And then there's a random chance you can pull more between the first and last levels, including gil snappers (sell them for gil) and burst pots (level your limit break using enhance). It's a good NRG investment because 10 NRG = min 35k exp. vs. 15 NRG = 30K exp in chamber of exp.

Lightning having a ridiculous rate is not the problem. The problem is pulling a rainbow crystal (which is supposed to be a once in a lifetime opportunity) and getting Rakshasa out of it. That's just ridiculous and a complete mockery of the rating system. The fact that they don't differentiate between how good and bad a unit at max rating is just adds to the problem. Anything that comes out of a rainbow crystal should be nothing but the absolute best.
I can go log in into Love Live right now, do an Honor Scout and chances are I'll get something useful even if I don't pull a UR. The SRs are so much better than the Rs that I don't feel like I wasted my gems even if I didn't get what I wanted.
If you do the same in this game, you'll get something completely worthless out of it like a 4* Bedile. That's where the frustration comes from.
Hopefully, Gumi incorporates the changes they made in Japan quicker for Global with Yellow Crystals definitively getting a base 4* and Rainbow being a guaranteed 5*.
Granted, we would probably need a bunch more base 5*s.
Cecil is featured, but only on the daily feature banner. Which is yet to be implemented on global.
Yes I agree with you. In Chain Chronicles, once you pull an Ultra Rare (5* in ffbe), it's almost always a great unit. Even Super Rares (4*) are noticeably better than Rares (3*).
I hope this gets implemented in Global sooner than later.

So many star quartz from this event omfg! I've been getting really lucky by sticking with left and center when choosing the rooms and getting to the end. Think I've pulled 8 or 9 SQ in 3 runs so far!
If you got nothing else to do, yes.
Otherwise Cecil at 6* will be much stronger.
The star on items is there only to show their rarity.
Yeah and then you pull the bad one...
I wasnt exactly happy when I got Mimu, useless unit
.Anyways, good thing in BE is that there are alot awesome base 3* units. Sadly getting them is really tough

Hmmm.
Are any of the chests a good value? I'm wanting to spend money but I don't know if I should get one of the bundles or just straight lapis.
Mythril Chest - $24.99: 3600 lapis, 1 ticket, 60 nrg, 2 keys, 9 quartz
Adamantite Chest - $47.99: 5000 lapis, 5 tickets, 100 nrg, 5 keys, 19 quartz
Crystal Chest - $74.99: 10,000 lapis, 9 tickets, 150 nrg, 9 keys, 29 quartz
I don't much care about the nrg, and I'm also not sure what the value on keys and quartz are. I'm leaning toward just buying lapis.
Why: I'm enjoying the game and want to support it, I also want to use some of the lapis to add equip/unit/material slots and to bank for more daily rolls and to use on future banners. I'm not going to use them on current banner.

I bought the top 2 10k/5k lapis. Overall I still think straight Lapis is the better option if you go with the 18k bundle but I wanted that extra NRG for TM farming so it was worth it in the end.
Yeah and then you pull the bad one...

Which do you prefer, Mimu or this?
What's up Chilly? Got your Ludmille yet?

Sadly no, another Clyne!!
I have to pace myself though, I have a feeling if I don't pull one by Thursday I may do another Hail Mary 11 pull. No way I'm going the entire banner without at least 1!!!

With 100 dollars you get 18.000 lapis, and you can summon 39 times (3 times 11 sumon, and 6 single summons) thats 2,56 dollar per summon.
With Crystal chest you can summon 31 times (2 times 11 summon and 9 single summons), thats 2,42 dollar per summon.
The difference is marginal, but with the 100 dollar 18.000 lapi you get 3 guarantee gold crystal, and with the crystal chest you only got 2 guarantee gold crystal.
Take that info to get your conclussions.
P.D: CCIE, cheer up gal. Most of trials can be done with a friend, and if you dont have a tank yet at that time, just ask here if one of us can put a tank as friend so you can use it and have better options. Thats why we are a community.
If we follow the JPN scheudle, First is Lightning, then Ramza and Delita, then Snow, then Dark Knight Cecil, and then Cecil would be the first legacy unit that will be upgraded to 6star

Technically you can summon 45 times with the 18k bundle if you use the 3k extra to do Daily summons.
The first trial where you need very good units should be Gilgamesh, and it won't hit global until a few months, so we got plenty of time before that.
Until then, and with the 6* finally coming, you will be able cheese those with a strong friend, well except for the farplane but Brachiosaur is the last one anyway.

Hello, and welcome.
In last comicon, the producers of the game said that currency will be available soon in amazon store, and from there, you can buy lapis cheaper (just like in brave frontier that buying gems was cheaper if you do that via amazon store)
Like how much cheaper?
And would that be using Amazon coins? Looking it up now, mind if you go over the proccess for me?
I plan on buying it to make up for my indiscrention from the other night. Since it is a one tme purchase, I would like to save as much as I can.
The ending of this video lol
I would say it takes the fun out if it but that fight doesn't look fun at all

Welp, that escalated quickly, now didn't it?
I hope CCIE doesn't continue to have the same bad luck that I did with somehow missing CoD all banner in her missing Charlotte in this banner.
And on that note, I was graced by another Vivi today. /sigh
And WTH with people clearing the maze so easily? I haven't had a single run that has made it past floor 3 yet :/

And that is exactly why I want one of her. There are so many shenanigans I can think of between her and Rydia working together.
Also, Garnet gets an additional haste effect (High Tide) to increasing her summoning speed in her 5* form as well to further speed things up.
TheChillyAcademic

WTF I didn't know she had High Tide...her 6* is gonna be a beast isn't it?
So, what is it exactly that makes Charlotte so much better than Amarant?
Charlotte seems much more reliable for protecting party members and enduring said protection efforts, but Amarant's countering makes him seem he can deal some decent damage, unlike Charlotte.
I get the Charlotte will be the better choice when tanks are actually required by hard hitting enemies, but for right now, Amarant seems like he suffices for most available content, no?
They also seem like they'd make a good dual tank combo down the line.

I need to pick someone's brain with knowledge of the Japanese version who also knows a thing or two about limit bursts. So now that this event has been giving me the the limit burst mini pots, I'd like to utilize these. I understand that leveling the limit burst at lower star levels is MUCH quicker. So anyone that I have 5 star I know not to bother with.
I don't have Cecil yet, and I hear his limit burst is great. I said to myself, I'll half pull today and get him! And lo and behold I get a 3 star garland instead. Reading up on my new unit, I read his limit burst actually changes to give a party attack up when he gets his 6 star. So my question to those with vast knowledge, should I start leveling garlands burst and keep him at 3 star until maxed? Or wait for a Cecil banner and hope for him. I'd like to know hard stats of these two characters limit bursts if possible. What do the effects do, how long do they last.

Probably, but I don't have any idea what they would do to improve her, outside of another EVO MAG buff (but, she already gets +30% at 5* though). With High Tide and max skill, Garnet should be able to effective summon practically everyone (likely guaranteed with Rydia every round). So... what else would be left to do but increase damage?
Scientifically factually correct statement detected.
