1. Are you sure that's not your player rank? At the first arena screen, look where it says "No. #####" right above your name. That's your arena rank. My best advice is to keep below rank 30,000.
2. Pretty much just trolling. The AI is super dumb so it doesn't make a big difference most of the time what you're actually up against. Sometimes they do smart things and wipe you before your first turn, but it's rare.
3. The grid will reset once you fill the whole thing in, and you'll get a standard pot for clearing it. Then it just repeats ad infinitum, so no worries about "wasting" medals - clear as many as you can.
4. It took me 30+ summons just to get one Charlotte and Ludmille on the Lightning banner. That one was pretty brutal.
I realized that Rank was my FFBE Rank....DERP I feel dumb. The numbers you speak of are indeed the Arena rank, thanks! I did notice that changing but just couldn't figure out what "Rank" was at first and then it hit me and I backed out of Arena and sure enough my rank is 66.
Ahhh thanks so much for explaining the grid. Now I know I don't have to hoard the medals. I shall unlock all the things! I'll prioritize the best stuff just in case I don't make it. Boo on Arena sharing orbs with Coli, that's dumb. I don't want to waste them for the daily now :| Does Frosty actually count towards the Void daily? If so, that's my solution for the next couple days anyway.
That's the one other banner that I pulled a ton and so I got many Charlottes and a quite a few Ludmilles too which is how I've learned two DCs so quickly. Alas, despite so many pulls no Lightning nor any single DPS unit at all which blew my mind and jaded me. Fast forward and Noctis banner to the rescue!
lol just pulled lightning on a random ticket
Luneth, Lightning, Firion, Bartz, Krile.
Not bad for day one.
hot damn, a mighty fine start. Congrats!
The daily half price seems like a steal, but part of me wants to save everything for Orlandu. What do you think?
I'm also having a hard time deciding on using my limited energy farming Frosty or pushing the story along. 23 NRG goes quick, even after using the dailies to cap my energy like the poster above recommended.
The daily half price won't ever go away so don't feel pressured to do it for every banner. Use it for banners that have one unit you'd really like but isn't a good banner over all like the one we get this weekend where Dark Fina is great but the other two not so much (although Luka is a pretty decent healer if you don't have Refia). It also is good for a banner where you're going all out just for extra chances on the cheap but don't waste it on banners you have no interest in, not worth it.
As for Orlandu, we'll be reminding people in here repeatedly that his first banner sucks and you shouldn't pull for him on it but rather wait for the next time he comes around. Same with Tidus if his stays the same as Japan's. It will suck having to wait so long for Orlandu but with the chances of a base 5* so low and the other two units being trash, you'll get screwed hard if you don't luck into him. The number one lesson for this game is to not chase 5* bases, pull on great banners. This way you get great consolation prizes if you whiff on the 5* base. You guys just missed the Noctis banner which was one of the best but thanks to auto-reroll it didn't matter for you ;p The next awesome banner will likely be the FFX one with Tidus and Rikku as they are both among the top rankings in Japan even to this day. One for DPS and the other utility. There is something called a player's choice banner though where we all get to vote on which units we want on the banner so that can always be the best banner of all. It's only happened once in global so far but it will come again some day. Also, Japan got an amazing banner/event for the game's anniversary. Global's anniversary will be July so that will be a time frame to save up big for.
Dammit, stayed up way later then I meant to. Good night, FFBEst GAF!
I did 5RNG EXP ones for Mercedes. I am just so done with Frosty though that I just don't care.
