Gilgamesh's Divider can bypass cover without losing health.

Yes, but then your other units will be limited. Gilgamesh can already do 999 damage without the combo, so i feel like it's a waste if you put everything on him.

This is my Arena team:

CoD: Golem Staff + Thorn Mace, Darkside

Lightning: Area Blast

Gilgamesh: Divider

Cecil: Dual Cast healer + tank

Refia: Dual Cast Esuna + Heal + Embolden

I usually 1-turn every team with Darkside+Area Blast+Divider chained. If my timing is perfect, Divider deals 1.7k per hit thru chain.

So tired of fighting the same party formation with Cecil/Refia/Luneth/CoD/Elza (sub either Lightning or Gilgamesh). I actually have more fun encountering characters I don't see very often.
 
Well the whole point was trying to unlock the Gale vault area for the Equip Hat which I wanted for Exdeath. I ended up having to do around 5 pre reqs before I got it! Whilst doing so I completed all the Earth keys as I thought I might as well get it out the way. Finally got the Equip Hat :).
I did the exact same thing today. Exdeath is only 92, but Kefka has been replaced and Mr. Void can wear the Creepy Mask and be my Boo user in PVP + benefit from the MAG gain in general.

I hear that. :(

Also guilty though because I run Cecil/Refia/Luneth/CoD. :( My last is Exdeath. But that is my main group I run for lots of stuff.

edit:

lately i've been seeing the

LIGHTNING | LIGHTNING | LUNETH | CECIL | GILGAMESH

combo. Like, everyone above 300 has some version of this set. YAY.
 
Skaha. Yeah she's been the rarest for me. I've gotten ~120 Rizers in the time it's taken me to get 15 Skaha's. Montana and Mel are also pretty darn rare.
Skaha has been super rare, but not as rare as Montana and Shiki for me. I got her 1 of her TMs + 50% on a second before I got Montana to 100%, while Shiki is at 85%. I've probably spent 3-4 full FP meters trying to get all of the decent TMs.

LOL. Brought along a random Lightning unit while TM farming. (Hence why I ran through all of my GAF guys.) The guys message was "This event sucks."

Meanwhile Iam doing arena sub 30k :p. Trust me life is so much easier when you can go to arena without panic & frustration mode D. Don't wan to lose my sanity over 2 Moogles.
I can TM farm over 10% to whole party in 2 days with some Lapis nrg refreshes.

Thats why Iam cursing Tomorrows maintenance (starts in 23h time) that its so fucking long. We are losing (atleast) 8h worth of energy and more importantly 8h worth of TM farming. That time for me is about 2-3% TM to every member in party.

Gumi fix your shit and give better salaries to your workers so our beloved game maintenances would be much shorter.

Ugh this so much. Past couple of nights been TM farming instead. Putting second CoD and Chizuru on hold. But knowing tomorrow I probably gotta burn it doing EXP anyway, despite wanting to do TM farming, really sucks. SO LONG.

Watch them still need like 2 hours extra.

As for long maint, they shoulda hired better people in start from sound of the AMA. If their code is that shit riddled then they got piss poor programers.
THIS IS WHY THEY TELL YOU TO DO CLEAN CODE. And leave notes.

Yeah that AMA was nice. Got to know something that I was suspecting (about CC) and about BE issues.

I might skip Cactuars, eventho I know 6* Chiz is coming. I can always do it with event currency & 100 Jumbos when they are next time there. I rather burn my nrg (and Lapis) to TM. Got too many great TM's to do and some utility ones I should also do :D (Like having 4 Medius to do 2 Growth Eggs).

After those Karl's & Maxwell is done. I add 4 units to TM train to go with Miyuki who is already in train. These 4 units are:

- Miyuki
- Agrias
- Snow
- Snow

I need greatsword that is non elemental weapon. Also need 2 non elemental Katanas.
Then I have 3 Gaffgarion's, dupe Agrias and something else (2 Xiaos). My daily prayer to end this talk:

Oh thee RNG gods GIEF ME ONE ZIDANE kthxbye.

for me the cactuar event can't come soon enough, i have got plenty of tms to work on but I need to level up so many units. I got extremely lucky with my daily pulls lately and sitting on 3* WoL and Chizuru, 4* Bartz and a bunch of lesser stuff like Xiao, Leo or Amarant. Even pulled Zidane o.o

Next tms will be gilga (2.1 % left :D) and Dual Cast with two Ludmils sitting at 43% and 50% ... really tempted to fuse them but I guess patience will pay off.
After months of pain and suffering I finally live the f2p dream :)

My 3rd troll gold on the Snow banner >_>

First was Refia, second was Locke and today's was Zidane.
I know I can't complain, they are all good units, but eh, I was hoping for Snow

No, you are wrong. Those definitely ain't Troll Gold pulls.

Definition of Troll Gold is something shit that is max 4*.
ie. Shadow, Clyne, Fran, Bedile...

Which reminds me:

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius |OT3| Everything that shines is Troll Gold
Soon the fresh smell of new OT the land of Troll Golds.

My daily was 3* Locke, having 3 I guess I do one Rising Sun someday.

Can't wait for burst pots turn to be available on weekly rewards, PvP will be insane when that happens.

Ah yeah, just fought against your team in arena, it was 1.46 bonus. Seeing Donkey Kong to Dark Cannon himself to oblivion is always nice :D.
My placement in arena is around 32000.

Excalibur gotten, now Deathbringer, Power of Creation, Seal of Destruction and Celestial Bracer all sitting above 50%. I hope I can get them before getting close to 10k lapis, because at that point I won't spend lapis anymore.

This week has been productive but expensive. I've gotten Barrage (useless, what a waste of time), Genji Glove (worse than Dualwield, but my only option at the time), Gungnir (Useless for now, needed to fuse Kains for space) and now Excalibur (ironically will be useless on the next trial).

I have yet to complete 3 Bracers, 1 more Excalibur, 1 more Deathbringer, 2 Save the Queen, 2 Champion Belt, 1 Doublehand and 1 Kaiser Knuckle to solidify my dps units. Of course, I still have to actually summon units like, Miyuki, Hayate and Chorizo for them to be absolutely perfect.

I've decided to not focus on magic at all, I'd rather focus on support/tank TMs next. Aegis Shield, Magi Staff, Equip Shield, Lordly Robe, Mentality and Ribbon might get some love when I have 3 monster dps units.

Well, i've still been doing daily pulls hoping for Snow... I mean, I don't need him, but getting him for 250 lapis would be pretty nice... so why not. Haven't had any luck. Got my 2nd Gilbert today.

I would love to pull Hope this coming week though. I know he's not a great unit, but I always thought his relationship with Lightning was cute and kinda want him for that reason, haha.

Pulled Snow on my daily.

Surprised me because I haven't pulled a banner character in awhile.
Congrats!

I just did my daily pull, after skipping yesterday, and got Snow as well. This pleases me, first banner character from this event. I guess I'll level him this weekend and put him up on my Friend List to help out you fine people.

Snow will still give a bonus for next week during the event, right? Please say yes.

What a whale...

I have no words.

Congrats on the successful fishing mission!

"Troll" and "Zidane" doesn't belong in the same sentence, except to say "I'm glad I didn't get another troll crystal today, with me obtaining a Zidane".

You monster! Give me a Zidane!

And I still haven't gotten 1 banner unit, let alone Snow.

I can do a few 5k pulls, but I think it's not worth chasing after Snow.
You have The Goddess. That's all you need.

may I ask why Genji Glove is considered worse than Dualwield? o_O isn't it the same + 10%Atk/Mag?? I just put all my trust moggles into that D:

Pulling for a gold crystal, getting a gold crystal and it not being the one I wanted.
Sorry if that doesn't match up with your definition, but I can still feel disappointed

Getting for unit both Hero's Ring & Dual Wield while using one eq slot is great.
But. If you have both Zidane & Gilgamesh and you can acquire their TM's.

a) Gilgamesh TM is better if you have 4 better abilities than
- Snow: Champion's Belt / Gaffgarion: Bracer

b) Zidanes TM is better if you don't have 4 abilities that are better than CB & B
- Then you equip 2x CB or 2x B or one of both.

Genji Glove is my only way to get Dual Wield ability. And I do have 4 great abilities to fix the loss of 30 ATK (and other stuff depending accessory) from accessory. Actually ATK loss is not so high due to +10% ATK from Genji Glove.

Now one needs to ask, what are the chances to get these:

- Total of 2 CB / Bracer (or more actually) or equivalent accessories that are better than Hero's Ring
- Enough Dual Wield abilities to whole party (5 Zidanes)
Then one could ask does one need Genji Glove?

Then comes the part where you make different party for Arena & to everything else :p
So you need shitton of Genji Gloves / Dual Wields.
So the question of Dual Wield being better than Genji Glove is very situational.

You have made right choice to put Moogles to Genji Glove.

Wow, thanks for that informative post :)
Obviously I pulled Zidane the day after I put everything into Gilga but I don't have that many great Tms (yet) anyway. Also I have yet to pull snow or gaffgarion so all good.
This also made me pull for Snow one last time.. Blue - Gold - WoL ... well okay..
Where are all those Bediles, Shadows and Edgars? Hope they are fine :/

Youre welcome :). As for myself, to compensate the loss of ~15 ATK (actually less cause my Gilga is over 150 base atk thanks to ATK pots) from not being able to wear two CB / B.
Iam going to equip 4 abilities that give ATK more than CB/B + Dual Wield ability would.

3x 20% ATK
1x 30% ATK

Used daily tix to FFV banner, got my 6th Cecil. Its 5th Cecil outside of his banner. I could do super fast Excalibur with 4 Cecils.

Alt tix pulled from FFV banner (for hope of Bartz). Got Gilbert. Alt pulled daily. Got Gilbert.

Got Antenolla down on 2nd try! Again, thanks to Bokeng & Valentus

First fight with Bokeng Gilgamesh ended up getting it to 30% on all, but it decided to focus down my CoD & Bokengs Gilga leaving me with no damage at all to finish fight :/

Second try went in with Valentus Gilgamesh and swapped my very poor Chizuru with Lenna so could heal up to full in between Dividers and enable WoL to Provoke instead of back up Cura. After destroying first 3 parts, he wiped CoD and Agrias, leaving WoL to Full Break and Gilgamesh to finish, so very happy!

So glad to have the Thorned Mace, as it'll go well with Pestle for DW for my CoD when I finish that TM. Thanks again for the adds guys

Also, my daily pull today was 2nd Ingus. Not sure if his TM is that great?
 
Yeah, I'm just aiming for sub 30k too. Arena really isn't fun this week (too many restrictions), so I'm just casually doing it. No worries at all.

I do the same thing, but this week isn't all that terrible if you have Exdeath and Maxwell. I don't know if you saw the strategy earlier, but if you do Wicked Light, wait a beat and then do Maxwell's Genesis, you get an element chain that does ~2k damage that can oftentimes decimate lower ranked teams. I usually beat teams by round 2 or 3. So it's not exciting, but it's not all that hard to get my daily arena wins.

How many material slots if everyone up to? I'm on 125 and I'm running out of space again...annoyingly.

I only have 120. I usually only have to clean up once per day by deleting 2nd or 3rd stacks of materials, so it's not a huge pain in the ass. But I'm definitely thinking of adding a couple more slots just to keep it from breaking my TM farming in switch control.

What? I hope you mean selling with the word of deleting.

Iam at 165 material slots.
