Y'shtola has innate dualcast, some offensive abilities, and Benediction which restores 1 party members life to max. Y'Shtola also has an LB that reduces damage taken.
However, Y'shtola doesn't get Araise to restore a char with full life nor can she buff your party too much beyond standard Protect/Shell.
More MP means you have to trade HP for it and that can be a huge issue for harder and longer fights like Gilgamesh or Dark Eidolons. If your caster can't survive, then they can't heal. Tilith also doesn't get innate resistances to stuff like Silence/Paralzye etc so if you equip to prevent that, there goes your MP/HP options as well.
It's really not as simple as putting more MP on her, lol.

Someone did an actual calculation on Reddit for the entire game.
14,400 lapis for re-clearing everything with missions.
Not too shabby at all.

in the arena PVP mode do I get more points etc for battling tough opponents or will i get the same as beating some low tier dude?

lol the top people in arena already at 17k+ points like...why? The reward difference from 3k and 30k is literally 2 str potsfor weekly and 1 trust moogle for monthly that is in no way worth that much Lapis....I will never understand the need to be 1st in something like this..../shrug

how do they even get to 17k+ points?
you only have 5 orbs to use then have to wait to be able to play more no?
They are rich people that pay for refills. (I'm assuming they are rich because the rewards at the moment are beyond pathetic lol, it's a gigantic waste of lapis).
Seriously. I'd be okay with being dead last. Just getting a chance at some pots is worth it.

As I jump back into the Coast (baby jeebus, I was hoping to be done with this for a while), I realize that a simple change could make such a huge difference when EXP farming. For the love of all that's good and pure, could they just make "repeat" carry over from fight to fight? I know it would only save... I dunno... 2, maybe 5 seconds each fight, but that adds up when you're doing something like running the Coast. It would change from stab my brains out with a letter opener boring to simply really fucking boring... but at least that's an improvement.
End rant.

Wait, I need to actually lose arena matches to get rewards? That's what it looks like if you read the screen.
Arena has been so easy so far (i'm somewhere rank ~10000) I don't understand how I'm going to lose unless I attack my own units. I probably want to take the dive now though instead of later when I get tougher competition.
I'm loving these changes, already got a bunch of lapis from these quests. Pretty cool incentive to go back through. Arena doesn't make sense to me. How are you ever supposed to lose? The max single attack is 999 and the CPU picks some of the all time worst skills to use against you like Stone and Magic Infuse. CoD and Cecil are truly the VIPs of current meta.
When do we get the rest of today's updates (new event, banners, etc?) I need those gigantaurs pronto.

It seems hard to lose but I think it would be possible if they go first and the AI does some smart shit (not likely but it happens) I just had a team go first and all the mages chained me and actually almost killed my team luckily I recovered and Boo Paralyzed them all but still. It was the first close game I have had so far.
Nope, the rewards are cumulative. You can w/w/w/w/w, w/l/lw/l ot l/l/l/l/l and still get all rewards.

Definitely easier. I just smashed him with my regular group and Valentus' CoD. Had him almost dead in one round. The downside to this this that he did his debuff and ended up one shotting two of my characters because he can attack again when he's that low on HP. Still he was almost dead anyway so I just finished him off. Two rounds total.
Use all of your orbs, then try to run again. It'll ask you if you want to pay for more. I think it fills you back up to 5 and you can rinse and repeat.

and 'no magic' means you can still use skills.
BRB, ending my life. :/
Meanwhile, my final daily gave me another Ignus. That's a total of six of him, this banner.
I have a ticket, not going to bother. I know I won't get Tilith, not with that low drop-rate. I might as well wait and save for Y'shtola. Maybe Rikku? I don't know, but I'm worried Lenna won't be a sufficient healer for upcoming content, and that worries me.

Right you are. Anyone running the Coast and is used to using a mage and thundara, you can get the "no magic" mission lapis using someone's Luneth and using the "hit all" skill. It still only took me one tent to get the max 60k EXP.
What's funny is that I never use magic when running Miranda Coast. I was in the middle of running that place for EXP when maint hit and today when I logged in it completed all of the missions. I didn't even know people used spells in that place. It's pretty easy to just pound your way through with basic attacks now.

I know the game has been cruel to you as of late but if you have Dual Cast I honestly think Lenna will be fine until you get something better.

In the end if the rewards continue the way they are I don't see it mattering what you fight if you use your orbs everyday every time they recharge chances are you will be in the top 30k. Getting the top 3k will more than likely require orb refills.
crazyivan19
Member
Probably true, but I think it's much quicker to use a 350+ magic mage and thundara. Swipe, tap, dead. Everything is a one shot kill.
Are there 3k people out there refilling for these weak ass pots tho?
Hippopuncher12
Member
Seems to be or just to say they are in the top 3k. I mean you get an extra Trust moogle for monthly rewards but even that if you are using that much Lapis to refill I would rather just run TM macros as it is probably far more efficient. Maybe after the first few months the people recharging will slow down but if Tales of Link's Soul Arena is anything to go by they won't..some people just want to be at the top regardless of the prize.
I would imagine. I hate using limited resources (MP) so basic fighting is easy and can be used over and over again without running out. Same with skills. I haven't found doing either to be that much faster since the real killer in that place is not the fights, but how often fights happen. I can go 25-30 seconds without even having a fight at all. It would be better if the fights were just back to back. Would same a lot of time. Heh, heh.
Yeah, I understand every game have these guys. I just hope there aren't 3k of them so I can have a chance one day lol.
Hippopuncher12
Member
I mean I guess it is possible to get in the 3k without refilling if you don't waste a single orb charge but I like sleep so that shit probably won't happen for me. Last I checked I was in the 3800's and I have been fighting the highest ranked person on the list. We will have a better grasp later in the month but I won't hold my breath for 3k but 30k seems very easy to achieve and the rewards aren't different enough to warrant me freaking out over it lol.
I'm currently grinding Dualcast now, don't yet have it though. I have like 5x Ludmille, although I'm only grinding one of them since I want to get a few Dualcast for my other Mages. I have 6x Trust Moogles though, so I could always use them if I get desperate...
Fighting higher ranked yields more points? I've been avoiding them right now.
