Really? I guess they're going to be rolling these events every two weeks which will allow us to gather up 6* mats? I hope that's the case since I'm farming for them now and I'm sooooooooo tired of this event. Heh, heh.

Or, you know, you can just use Cheer for an AoE buff instead of Second Wind or Hero Rime.
Cheer = AoE +40% atk/def for 3 Turns
Hero Rime = AoE +40% atk/def/mag/spr 3 Turns
Second Wind = ST +50% atk/mag 3 Turns
For a mage party:
Focus = AoE +40% mag/spr 3 Turns

In general and long term, yes. But it wouldn't HURT to have it currently. It also depends on how far level wise you can get once awakening to 6* at this point.

999 auracite sells for like 50k gil, btw. thought you should know.
Almost have the mats for the Katana on my ALT... Shield next. Holy crap at the EXP requirements to go from L90-100 in this game. Have to find Nomidor's Lightning and try to solo ELT with her. Wish it would come up in my FL. R42 coming up in the next hour - 20 levels since the event started is insane.

Yeah there was no way in hell I could have done it without the Exp Event >.<
Man, I got two gold crystals back to back and they were both crap. This game really loves trolling people.
OH OH OH OH *raises hand* ME ME ME ME!

Damn guys
You keep messing with my decisions
12 mp for a 50% boost seems useful for long term engagements
Otherwise cgeer gets the job done.
The lack of enhancement though is a kicker
What enhancements does Ramza get access to?

If I'm already preemptively disappointed for the upcoming pulls, then is it possible to even be more disapointed than I am now?

NOT ONE!!!
The wyrms on ADV S4.....#@&@#^&*^@#&@*#^&@, lost five battles in a roll. Had a few close ones, but NooOOOOOOOooooo my people will not hit them (barrage) for the finishing blow and leaves them alive at the end of the round without fail.The windstorm? spell decimates my team....
The wyrms are blinded/full break and I have cheer on. They still destroy me.
Baraerora is a must if you don't have a 6* unit.

Unsure how many Dualcasts I should get. I could potentially get 4(4 Luds), but I know that will only be for a rainy day. But it would be excellent to equip an entire party with them for things like the FFT banner and such.
But really, 2 seems enough, 3 maybe.(Healer, Tank, Support, Mage, could all use it)

Definitely 2, without question. Three might be great for a rainy day though!
1 for your healer, 2 if you don't have black mage with dual cast?
I have 5 luds and 2 exdeaths with inner dual cast at 6*, so I'm just trying to get 1 or 2 dual cast.
Woohoo!!! I'm at R44, and shooting for R50 on my ALT before the end of the event. The stat increases Lightning gets after L90 are pretty severe. L94 and counting... Have the mats for the Katana, and have begun crafting. Almost have most of the mats for shield as well. May begin doing the ADV EXP to increase my magicite and megacryst count in the evenings - have the HR recipe with no grinding, and need to start making some rings.
I'm on the road for work, and don't get to see my baby this week anyway. I'm pretty sure I am going to easily get everything I want out of the event at this point. Hurray for rank-ups!
Still on the second island, but am finally about to finish it, probably in the next round of dailies. Could probably solo the content with Lightning she is so OP.
On the PRI account, I have decided that I will do an 11-pull in an attempt at Ramza or Agrias, and another on the FFXIII banner, for a shot at Lightning/Snow/Hope. I'm pretty sure I should still have enough to do an 11-pull on FFIII as well when the time comes - if not, I will probably buy some lapis. If after all that, I still haven't gotten any of the premium units that are coming up, that account will become my ALT. Working my way through S-3. These S-ranks are no joke... Beat the S-2 boss on my first try, though I limped to the finish line. Charlotte with Provoke for the win!

I'm still waiting for my first base 4*...
Finished up all the tickets and quartz for the event, guess I'll grab some pre-emptive awakening mats with the rest. The rank xp was the best part though, up to 59!
No Exdeath
Honestly, I could see it being fantastic to slap on a tank or support.
I'm issue is, combing the lot. I.E. 2 for 2 to really reduce down on it.
Farming 2 at 47.5% would be they would be done by the end of the month. I may farm two now, combine and leave the other two for later. 4 is over kill for sure.
Edit: More thought into it, I think the last train is the best. Farm one now for the healer. See where I'm at in a month or two for the 2nd/3rd? By mid Nov(Dualcast, Blade Mastery, Dual Wield, Magic Staff, and one 30% MAG should all be done.
Go for all four. There could be events like this current one where mages are the stars. Even in PvP battles, it looks like mages is the easier way to advance.
On my ALT, I only have 1 Ludmille, so the farming for DC is going to suck! OTOH, I have two ExDeath and no other mages yet, so the DC is reserved for my future Refia ( Have to think positively here )
Will be back to TMR farming heavily after the event is over. Will begin TMR on my ALT with the hopes of a quick Pistol from Mustadio. Mustadio x5. Here is hoping there is no event this upcoming weekend. <fingers crossed>

I just beaten it in my 1st try. Forgot to cast baraerora so my WoL died. But the others were alive, so it was fine.
2 dual breakers is the key.
Edit: apparently my baraerora was still active and saved my other unit.

Cleared the Wyrms (aka supposedly the hardest fight in the colosseum) just now.
-- The Wyrms can be silenced. This will prevent Needle Breath when they are at low life.
-- Don't try to kill both of them at once! 2x Needle Breath = Wipe
-- Unequip Golem! Needle Breath on your tank with Golem = dead tank, even with wind resist up. Keep everything full broken at all times. (Yes, that means that the first turn is going to be very nasty.)
-- Bring a raiser in preparation for bad RNG occuring and a caster getting munched.
-- HP Check! You should be around 2400-2500 HP on all your units (even casters). They have to be able to survive Needle Breath and/or a melee attack from a full broken Wyrm.
Slow and steady wins this race. Try to get one down as fast as possible. If you have Kefka with you, Hyperdrive one of them constantly until it is dead. Once one of them is down, the fight becomes simple to win.

I was looking up some of 6 stat units, wtf at Bartz with that 540% wind attack, sure is compensating for those stats.
I'm farming up all of the 6* materials that I can, despite not having Lightning/Ramza/Delita.
So many characters should be getting upgrades soon. Cecil, Cloud of Darkness, Bartz and Exdeath just in the next 2 months or so.
I don't want to have to choose between getting materials and other stuff like tickets in future events.

How do you guys/gals feel about equiping the golden staff (+48spr) to Charlotte? I mean she's useless as far as attack is concerned, it would give her an impressive boost to resisting magic. And on the other hand, for the healer, there's always a ton of possibilites to get your SPR elsewhere.

Why didn't you guys tell me Golbez was broken in the colosseum? Binding Cold paralyzes everything(at least in A rank)
And Bone Dragon boss beat the breaks off my Charlotte, luckily it got full break'd after that and got barraged to death.

You can insta kill the boss with raise (terra/tellah).

Day 1 Soft-Launch player, Rank 53. :/
Wait, Intangir is in the Vortex, so you can bring along a friend.
Take an OP Lightning friend with you, like Valentus'.
Since noone has answered to your questions, here are some thoughts of mine:
I suggest in the future you do those event dungeons (atleast some runs & go to check what prizes Mog King has) even you dont have any of those 6*. They give much more, there was 10 Summon tickets to grab, really nice Katana (for Chiz for example) & ok Shield and 10 Star Quarz. Obviously to get them all you needed to grind event (good - exceptional rank exp btw). But yeah so much more in prices than only those awakening mats to 6*. Also those mats can be used to future 6* units (like CoD, Chiz).
Thing you should do:
- Level Lenna asap and kick Fina from party. Lenna is Fina in steroids
.Party suggestion (story):
DPS
- Chiz, Leo, Vaan, CoD , Lenna
* Chiz dps
* Leo / Agrias tank role
* CoD dps
* Vaan Full Break, back up healer (slap Cura to Vaan) if needed
* Lenna Cheer + healing (Curaja)
- If Leo is max 5* leveled, focus getting Lenna to 5* max level after that focus to Agrias
- In order to get full use from Cheer (Lenna has cheer too) go with 4x dps
Mageish (Orbonne monastery event for example)
- Vaan, Kefka, Golbez, Tellah, Lenna
* Vaan
- 1st turn Focus, 2nd turn Full Break (depending fight, this is how I do it in ADV Colosseum)
* Kefka, Golbez, Tellah
- After Vaan has cast focus, these 3 cast element chain (Blizzaga or Thundaga).
* Lenna
- Healing, status cleaning
** Shantotto
- IF healer is not needed and you dont have better mage, use Shantotto to take part to Element chaining
Tankish (ADV colosseum)
- Vaan, Lenna, Kefka, Tellah / Golbez Leo/Agrias (or both)
1st turn in this order
- Vaan Focus
- Lenna Cheer
- Golbez Binding Cold (paralyzing aoe), other mage does GA spell (or some debuff)
- Leo / Agrias defend
Phantom Forest - Exploration gives only "Green Magicites / Megacites", use them to level your Espers (don't level Siren at this point).
I farm trust heavily, but cant say anything about emulators sorry :/.
- I do TM farming manually, I run Earth Shrine - Entrance (2 battles), its fastest to clear and I dont plan to get Limit Break skills in those runs (Using LB takes more time and you need to run Earth Shrine - Exit, 3 battles, thus its longer).
- It takes average of 10000 Earth Shrine runs to get TM from 0% to 100%, it varies, some do it 9000 runs and some take much more runs than 10000, its all about rng.
- Average is 0.1% TM raise for every 10 nrg you use.
- TM farming is slow, when I had 50-55 nrg max, it took around 40 - 46 days to get TMs to 100%.
Not sure how high daily TM% you get if you run TM with emulator and do cheapest daily quests every day. My guess is around 3-5% depending nrg max.
Edit: Nice avatar
Hi Wazzy! I never thought I'd play a serious Cell phone game until I found out about this game ha I'm being patient with our FFVIII characters because the later they come out, the more powerful they'll be
This isn't an end all be all but here's an idea of rankings:https://exviuswiki.com/Unit_Rankings Note that there are some units worth keeping because of their Trade Mastery even if they aren't effective in battle. If you have any questions about the units you pull being good, just ask here. Also, Ramza is a tough unit to pull so don't stress out if you don't get him.
<3
Ahhh thank you! I'm definitely wanting VIII characters the most too and will restart my whole account to get them if I don't have enough to pull them by then. I'm going to reroll until I pull something decent off that ranking. I got Agrias which was nice but I really want a great starting character.
If you really want a great starting character, aim for Lightning. I know, it's a lot to ask, given that she's rare enough as it is and isn't even given a boost now thanks to her not being on her banner, but she's amazing and the best (current) 6* in-game. Delita/Ramza are great too, and if you really like Ramza, go for him! Whatever you're best interested in.
Of course, knowing your luck, you'll get Lightning in the next re-roll, along with Ramza. I know how you work.

I was able to get Agrias, Krile, Shadow and Cloud Of Darkness. I don't really care for Lightning and would have liked Delita as well but I'll take these units.
