I'm not sure, just something I read. That's why I'm trying to see for sure before I use any more, as I'd hate to be wasting them. From what others said, if you use them earlier than your max level, your extra stats are adjusted accordingly, so that when you hit maximum level, you're at the base/usual amount and not beyond the cap of what you should be (after using the stat pots).
I'm trying to find the Reddit post now.
Edit:
Never mind. They were stating that if you fuse the stat pots into a unit (to store all of them) and then fuse that unit to the one you want the stats on, that they won't carry over. So you can't fuse ATK Pots on a Galuf, and then fuse that Galuf into Tidus and get the gained ATK stats. That's fine if that's the case.
hey guys, if maxwell uaes resurrection before turn 4 does her pattern reset?
because she used resurrection on turn 4 for me... then turn 5 I had no clue if I should guard or not.. I guarded 3 turns in a row instead of using these turns to kill her -_- it ended up biting me in the ass
but yeah, with 6* cecil and ingus, she is very doable now. All I need to do is wait for valentus cod to be off cooldown and im finally gonna get her down

Yeah, I mis-read what they were saying. Sorry for the confusion!
They do carry over, across leveling that character as well as evolution, but will not transfer from one character to the next.

Are 6* awakening materials available outside of events? After this BF event ends, how long will we have to wait before being able to purchase them again

How frequently do these events come around?
we're getting a lot of them, at least one every 2 weeks
The schedule is roughly every 3 weeks. Closer to 2 but idk if that pace will maintain
Also, I am switching from the 15% materia to the two 10%HP and 5% Spr and Def.
I realized that those two slots will net me 20% HP and 10% Spr while only ultimately losing 10% defense (since I will be replacing 2 10% defense materia with those two)
So it is a net +20% HP +10% Spr -10% Defense
That seems worth it right?
I bought all 5 HP ones ,
Cecil gets 10 hp 5 atk 5 mag ones , 15% HP and Demonic Life
Refia got both 10 hp 5 def 5 spr ones

I wish Gumi would throw us a bone and give us a weekend event that's only for Sacred Crystals. I'm constantly bottlenecked by them, and the PRO level doesn't drop them more consistently than INT, I feel.
Regardless, my Cecil #2 is on his way up, awakened him and burnt my LB pots on him, he's at 13/15 now. I'm also using all of my SPR pots on him, as eventually my ideal setup is -
Cecil - Healer and tank, with Doublecast and MP/SPR gear
WoL - (after 6* upgrade) - Tank/damage with Embolden duties and Barrage.
Elza - Damage and debuffer.
Luneth - Damage.
CoD - AoE Esuna, elemental buffs, and damage.
I feel like outside of specific challenges, that setup will be a great baseline. Plus I always hate taking dedicated healers in any game, as I feel they don't serve a purpose if nobody is hurt. Worse case scenario with my above party, I slap a counter materia or accessory on Cecil and he generates orbs/crystals for me, even if all he did that round was buff or Cure.

Will it still be possible to pull event characters like Elza, Tilith, DKC, etc even after their respective events end, or are they limited time only units?
Elza and Tilith are exclusive to their respective banners. We will be receiving the BF event again in the future, when Tilith gets her 6* awakening.
DKC, and other similar units, are obtainable whenever, but occasionally have increased rates that make it (apparently) easier to summon them.
Basically, if it's a collaboration banner (Crystal Defenders, Brave Frontier, Seiken Densetsu, etc.) they're only available for a limited time whenever their banner is up. If they're just traditional Final Fantasy/Brave Exvius characters, they're always pull-able.
All the units of the BF banner are limited time, they will come back in the future once tilith gets her 6* but thats it
DKC and others , you cann pull them even when their banner end. but the chances are super low. ( the chances are already ass when theyre on banner, off banner its even worse basically lol)

It's so quiet without Chilly.
Going to be abusing the Dunes until it's gone this evening. Then I guess it's back to the Maxwell grind. Then once that's done finishing up Karma crap. Gotta buy the rest of the cheap awakening mats and I'm done with what I care about.
Not a very exciting or fun event. Especially without pulling a banner character.

Yup, yup.
Refia is looking much stronger after consuming all the HP, MP, and SPR pots this week.
One more run for the last Demonic Rune + need to earn a bit more for 5 more Pristine Horns for Buttz Awakening. Then back to full TM farming. Celes is almost done.
Probably going to relaxing on Leveling characters for a while since I got a full 6 team now. Will do ExDeath over time and do Buttz with the next Mog King.

I beat (and got) Maxwell! It looked dicey there but I pulled through and managed to finished her off with a limit break even.
My team was (all maxed)
Lightning
CoD
Cecil
Agrias
Refia
CoD friend
I mostly followed a guide someone posted a while back from reddit here. Playing defensively made all the difference. With proper preparation I was able to take Rune and Endless (on separate turns) on the chin and survive. Some characters died but Refia's full life was able to get them back without them immediately dying again. Putting Diablos on Cecil helped a lot since he was still able to take the damage just fine. The whole thing probably took over a dozen turns and I was really unlucky with summoning orbs it felt like. I actually had to stop doing barrages as the CoD's were slowly killing Maxwell and switch to regular attacks. Agrias was the biggest liability as she was the only 5*, but she stayed alive often enough to keep Maxwell broken. My equipment is pretty modest. Lightning is kitted out with some TM's but she was almost useless here, mainly an ether-thrower. Both CoD's had dual wield but that helped more with getting orbs than damage. I didn't even use Call of the Void until the final turn.
Maxwell is a huge jerk but I will say if you don't have her yet you should keep at it. My first few times she absolutely crushed me, but a more careful approach can get you much further. I did it without a lot of the tricks, like the black belt on Cecil or doublecast on Refia. As for expendable items, I used one elixir and maybe 4 turbo ethers. Nothing too outrageous.
Good luck out there!

Thank you for posting that link. Was actually going to ask how far back some stuff was posted in regards to it. I've got it up in a tab now for tomorrow. (I'd be doing it now but abusing dunes for CoD #2 to build up.)
Though it says friend CoD or Elza. Would DWing Lightning not work for building up orbs just as well? I dunno from what I heard Barrage doesn't seem to help too much. But maybe it's RNG being RNG.

We can let chrono fill chilly's position.
Let's see chrono's wild self.
Welp, I just found out the explanation for why maxwell didnt go ballistic on turn 4
ive just read now that closing the game resets her timer... So if you just keep closing the game every 3rd turn she will never do that super strong ass move
I actually closed the game last run because I got pissed at not getting any esper orbs for 2 turns in a row lol... thats quite a glitch IMO

Barrage is supposed to be a nice way to get orbs, but I'm not sure myself. Dunno about everyone else but Maxwell was damn stingy with both orbs and crystals. After 12ish turns only Cecil and CoD filled their limit bar. So a friend Lightning with or without barrage might work. CoD has other advantages though: her resilience (she has natural 50% light resist) and man-slayer when it's time to actually finish Maxwell off.

Actually CoD tag team Voids might be worth it too. Gotta think about it and decide soon. Not looking forward to it. I have a feeling I can beat Maxwell now with the couple units up to their max.. it's just I don't want to just beat her but get Diabolos out. That's the part I fear the most. Dragging it on to get stupid orbs.

Finally fucking got Maxwell. CoD Refia Chizuru Charlotte Agrias and friend 500 atk CoD. A bunch of well timed omni-veils and shellgas saved my skin.
Frustrating knowing that Call of the Void could almost wipe him in one turn but that's just exvius bs for ya

Could someone explain this game to me?
Like is it a full blown new final fantasy game like III or V, with it's own story, characters, music and stuff?

As in killed or obtained her?
Wooooow that was so intense! Finally got Ingus to 80 and tried Maxwell for the first time. Ingus, Refia and friend Elza bit it turn 5 so it was up to Cecil and CoD x2. Few turns later, both CoDs have next to no health, Maxwell is half a centimeter from dying, and summon gauge is aaaaaalmost full. Thank the heavens Cecil's auto attack did just enough not to kill her and managed to generate my last summon orb, so my CoD with 34 hp left summoned Diabolos and Maxwell died to its puny 15k attack. I'm sure I can handle the other objectives fine, but it sure feels good to get that out of the way on the first attempt, and in such a ridiculous fashion.

Obtained fam. After prolly 20 attempts
managed to beat maxwell but without using diabolos
im pretry dumb, I could have finished her off with an LB at least but I forgot
For some reason the RNG likes to shit on me when I use Valentus's CoD and evoke diabolos but when I use a random elza that isnt as good I manage to beat her... lol
oh well, I guess I still got 3 days to get her down with diabolos :/
anyone has a super strong CoD here I could add to up my chances?

Do you have me already? Same in game name. Post or PM your friend code and I'll add you if not.
Celegus and Valentus have the strongest CoD on the board. I maxed Maxwell, and am collecting Gigantuars to the bitter end. Then I will go back and face her again for the materia tomorrow. Then run the story and TMR. I have only redone the first island, and all that sweet lapis is waiting for me

Welcome to the thread!
To answer your question, well... yes, sort of.
Brave Exvius is a new Final Fantasy game, in the style of the SNES titles (IV, V, VI). That said, the game plays considerably different from the SNES titles, outside of combat. Combat in FFBE is equivalent to the Wait Mode ATB in these games (everyone acts individually in their team's turn before the opposing team gets their turn). In story and event modes, the player's team always goes first. In arena mode, the team that goes first is randomly chosen at the beginning of each new turn.
There is an original story with original characters. As the game is meant to last for several years, the story is considerably drawn out and may appear to be very slow moving (it at all) at first. As one progresses farther in Story Mode, the story becomes considerably more interesting. Please keep in mind that the story really doesn't begin to really get rolling until four or five islands into the game (Dirnado Isle or Olderion Isle), which can be a considerably long time for a new player. Please bear with the story until then.
The game is belongs to a genre known as gacha, or lottery-style game. In this game, not only are there original characters, but the player also has the be ability to pull characters from other Final Fantasies (both heroes and villains) to join them on their team. This is a major draw of the game. On the flip side, as a lottery-style game, the more desirable or popular characters are often quite hard to obtain, and attempts at pulling for them cost a premium currency (lapis) in the game. A fair amount of lapis given to players over time for various events in the game (Brave Exvius is unusually generous in this regard compared to other games in this genre). Addiitional lapis can be purchased for real-world currency to fund additional activities in the game (refilling energy) or for more attempts at pulling rare units from the slot machine.
Various activities are also inserted into the game from time to time, that offer unique equipments, materia, spells, and so on that are not found in the story mode of the game. These can take the form of a dungeon from another Final Fantasy, an exploration of some kind, or a trial against a powerful boss (which is what everyone in the thread is passionate about at the moment as that is this week's challenge).
In this regard, you could think of this as a single-player MMO, as new content is constantly added to the game weekly and new chapters are being added to the story monthly.
If you want to give the game a try, the community would be more than glad to support you on the way. We are pretty passionate about helping GAF succeed here, each in our own ways.

I switched to my elza yesterday as friend leader and now I've found 25 friend invites in my box.
Now about 15 of those have come on since I max leveled her earlier today. Trying to get Refia up there before the dunes go away.
Now what do I do... farm karma?
