Amazing, just got myself a "free" 5*
Your video was a pretty good starting point, switched a few things and went all in - worked on my first try.
Party - Cecil/Diablos Rydia/Golem Tiltih/Ramuth CoD/Ifrit Agrias/Shiva
Giving Diablos to Cecil was the most important part since he had the best chance to survive - killed Maxwell on turn 5 with only Cecil and both CoD left. I might not have made it if I could not have pulled another Void Chain.
This is how I did it:
1.
Agrias - Full Break
Tilith - Celestial Light
Cod + Friend - Chain Void
Rydia - Hyper
Cecil Provoke
2.
Tilith - Healing
Cecil - Concentration
CoD + Friend - Chain Void
Agrias - Full Break
Rydia - Attack
3.
Tilith - Rainbow
Cecil - Curaja
Agrias - Cleansing Strike
Rydia - Attack
CoD + Friend - Attack
4.
Rydia - LB - Yay
Cecil - Curaja
Agrias - Full Break
Tilith - Celestial Light
CoD + Friend - Chain Void
5.
Cecil: SUMMON
CoD + Friend: KILL IT WITH VOID FIRE
So yeah keep at it EDarkness
and again Thank you Valentus
glad it worked out! awesome pal congratz
if anyone need more vids or strategies with their current parties let me know.
Definitely my most expected upgrade in the game. Ja-spells are powerful as fuck.Took this discussion from Reddit JP Anniversary thread

Okay, so I just realized I have 3 Shantotos and 2 Gaffgarions lying around, both of which have TMs that would be really useful.
So, I know I said I wouldn't be doing the TM farming thing, but... well... I guess I'll be doing the TM farming thing, especially since I got Maxwell and I'm done with the event for now.
I'm going to do the farming manually and casually, and I know the basics. But where I get confused is with the percentages. With three of the same unit, I need them to equal 90% before the fuse, right? So get each of them to around 30%? And with the 2 units, I need to get them to almost 50% before the fuse, right?
Thanks for the help. I couldn't find a simple enough guide out there that broke down this part.

Do it and follow this video. Ingus instead of WoL
Use lightning's Crushing blow and Kefka's Hyperdrive to chain CoD's Call of the Void.

Double lol
One is max level, at some point I need to level 4 more. I think Ill pull one 4* Shanty so not going to waste materials for 3* ones... Or then again just for giggles evolve those 100% 3* ones.
Holy hell.
I have 3x Shantotto that I was going to level purely for their TM...now I have another reason.

so how strong will 6 star Shantotto be?
It has the potential to be the best mage in the game. Let's see how they will fuck it up.

Has anyone done the math on how many gigantaurs (and gil) to get from 1-100?
cpp_is_king
Member
Thanks. Looks like it's about the same to get 2 guys to 80 as it is to get 1 guy to 100. Guess I'll get cecil and CoD to 80 instead of going for CoD 100 then.
Is Chamber of Riches the best way to get gil?
Alkez

The animation looks sick as well.
crazyivan19

And so it begins....
The best way to get Gil is from selling repeated materials from TM farming. You can also level up useless units and sell them for a lot of Gil. Chamber of riches is a waste of energy tbh.

EDIT : Nevermind you fixed it
Yup. Bit of trial and error but I got it. Thanks though!

Yeah Im swimming in shantotto
Guess Ill hold onto 5 of them lol
Got Dual Cast recently and now now grinding out an Auto Limit and Rising sun and just starting a Growth egg
I think Ill move on to Bracers, Save the Queen, Letter and Arms etc..
So many trust mastery to chase....

I know right! I'm going to for Rising Sun next too alongside my first Cecil. With that I'll go for Barrage and then Lordy Robe or Omnirod.
Currently got Cecil, Luna, Luna, Luna, Luna to get one Barrage quickly as I had so many of her.
Sadly no; but if I remember a previous post correctly after activating it basically doesn't disappear until the end of the battle.

Zidane! Dual wield is the best. I'm almost to my first one (and my first premium tm), it's at like 87%...so I guess not almost but getting close!
I was able to summon diabolos and barely managed to win, in the end it was just Cecil and Valentus' CoD... Would have died next turn but barrage finished Maxwell off. Pretty excited to have beaten that challenge, thanks Valentus for your guides and character! Team was Cecil, Refia, BCL, Ingus, and a poor man's Artemios (don't think he even has 300 attack? Lol) since he was my only unit with barrage (to get orbs / LB). Didn't get the LB kill but yea
I haven't completed the other objectives but I don't even think I can manage to complete either of them so Oh well. Grinding cactuar dunes so I can level Maxwell and then Arc finally!
Do you guys think it is worth the Karma grind to get these? :
Destroyer's Authority x 2
Guardian's Authority x 2
Demonic Life x 2
I bought the weapons, trust moogle, some 6* (think I have like 40ish of each 6* mat now), all the summon tickets and SQ.
Lyrian

Tickets are generally high priority. The materia are reasonably priced as well, as they give a little extra oomph over the usual HP+10% materia.
Lyrian
Member
15% you mean or the Authority materia?
Yes, HP is king. You can potentially heal back from anything (or kill anything in retaliation) as long as you have the HP to survive their attacks.

Well it's too late, I already bought all the 6* awakening materials. Oh well, if I get lucky and pull out a couple more metal god runs then maybe I'll go for them still. But I'm limited in how often I can do it, because only 2 friends on my list can clear it for me, and one of them (Val) is currently using CoD who can't clear it. So I only do it when ud shows up (Not sure who this is on GAF btw, but thanks!)
I went for the awakening mats because I figure it has the best odds of getting me to the point that I can clear the next event on my own quicker than the other stuff. I should have a 6* CoD and Cecil by tomorrow, and I think that's pretty good for having only been playing 7 days and no money spent yet
If you got Firion you can also do this with a wind weapon.
Now you understand why Firion is top 5 in Japan with enhancements!

If you have a tank, a max level maxwell can carry You. Remember you can use an escape unit to "skip" the first two rounds (at least I think so) to get right to the end. Maxwell's nemesis move destroys. I know there aren't many yet, but they definitely can do it. A 430+luneth can just about solo it. Lightnings are tougher, she deals with earlier rounds better BUT has a tougher time with Vargas.
Especially with a CoD. She chews through Vargas pretty well.
And getting that sweet 100% increase on karma is truly excellent when you encounter metal gods

That's not a bad compromise. Obtaining a potent and complete 6* unit is fairly game changing. The power of a 6* unit is far beyond any 5* unit in the game, so you did not decide poorly with your decision.

I tried to set up Nox for TM farming but it looks like Lapis doesn't carry over between iOS and Android? That's a bummer.

Well was able to Chain Void maxwell to death. Now to work on Evoking Diablos....
It's not a huge deal, just be mindful where you acquire lapis from. I fire up Nox every night for TM farming, no issues w/ Lapis.

Finally, Dual Wield! Can't decide if I should do the Dunes or continue to TM farm (2 Dualcasts at 63% each, with 10% Moogle power available) or get some Karma for 6* materials. If I try really hard, I could get Call of Duty to 100...
I've got 4 Lockes, so Rising Sun shouldn't be hard...
Question: is level 10 LB for Cecil enough, or should I wait for 15?

Afraid not. Lapis doesn't transfer between operating systems, although free lapis will transfer between accounts on Android (phone + emulator, for example) but not purchased lapis (Amazon coins lapis does not mesh with Google Play lapis).

Your call, depending on the situation.
Do you already have another 6* Cecil? If yes, then maybe. If not, then no. A 6* maxed out Cecil is far more valuable right now than the 5% bonus to his LB buffs by grinding out those LB levels first.
I upgraded to 6 once his LB hit 9.
Thats good enough almost 60% boost to atk def spr
Advocatus Diaboli

I've got 3 Cecils total: a 5* with a level 1 LB (7% TM), a 4* with a level 10 LB (and 55% to Excalibur), and a never-touched 3*.
Also: MAXWELL DOWN via LB and Diabolos. That was the most exciting fight in the entire game.
Lyrian
Member
Grats on the win.
If you want to keep the grind going, you could take the 5* Cecil to 6* as a temp until you finish grinding to 15 on your "real" Cecil. That's a lot of "wasted" XP on the temp Cecil, if you go that route.
The grind from 10-15 is pretty harsh though, and 4* pots are not that common yet.
Your call if the extra 5% is worth it or not to you to work up 2 Cecils to 6* max.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice guys! Back to the karma grind... Starting to wonder if I could bring some party to Maxwell that could earn the 10k but building LB is a struggle in that fight. My artemios is too weak to do any real damage and unfortunately is my only unit with barrage.
Congrats, that is super exciting! If you don't have any 6* mats it would probably be worth farming karma for them... At least the cheap stacks. For Cecil I'd say if you are hurting for a good tank to just awaken him. That's a lot of LB and we will have opportunities to level it more in the future.
