Hey guys, a couple questions this morning.

I'm still struggling with this no-companion Veritas fight. I got my rank 3 exdeath to rank 4. Should I switch out rank 3 Zidane for rank 4 Hayate and level him a bit?

I also have a bunch of mini pots. Is it possible to mess up a character if I give him the less efficient stat (DEF instead of ATK). I have a bunch of little attack ones.. Give to Noctis? Or should I wait to give him big ones. Not really sure how that works.


Noctis attack is 158. And he can gain additional 30. Doesn't really matter how you do it, once he gets those 30 additional points then that's it! Each stat has a separate max, so they don't interfere.

You can't mess up the stats as each one has it's own cap you can give. You can however waste part of a pot if for instance they can only go up 1 more point and you feed them something that gives more than 1. I wouldn't worry about it though Pots are literally like candy other than Burst. ATK pots seem to be rarer than the other regular ones but I still have a shit ton of extras just sitting around. As for the units Hayate is probably better than Zidane but not by much. If the no companion is just some extra lapis I would do it later if need be.

So you could technically boost all stats for a character? I thought maybe you had to pick one. That's great!

I guess I'll dump all these DEF ones into him too.

What do you guys think about using Hayate over Zidane?

So the next event after Type 0 will be Final Fantasy II (exploration)
Chilly if you read this, it'll be time for your grand return!

I had same problem since we have so many great companions on GAF that I blew by story while a bit underleveled. I just started concentrating on leveling someone one person at a time and soon enough I had everyone at 4* to 5* max and he was a breeze.

Thorn Mace and Grand Helm get!

I'm not going to bother with clearing the extra goals right now, as both fights were an absolute chore.

The new event can't come soon enough. I need those moogles!

1. So what you're all saying is to pull a few more times on the Dark Fina banner and skip the FF0 banner? Got it!

2. I've had a super tough couple days with sick kids and just being distracted with IRL news. Passed out last night before I could set up my TM farming, woke up to full nrg and arena orbs. :(

3. anyone interested in a GAF-specific Exvius playbook? I'm thinking an open google sheet with tabs for each of the following:

[ ] friends list (i know we have one already so maybe we just combine?)
[ ] guide for n00bs / how to get started
[ ] how to build a team (that thing i wrote out some pages back)
[ ] TM farming guide
[ ] Your Meta Game Checklist aka what to do when you don't think you have anything to do
[ ] GAF-specific quests (like 'defeat X with 1 unit' , 'build an all FFVI team' etc)

I think it would have to be open source / open edit and we all just combine forces on it. If there's interest it would be fun and useful as hell IMHO

I think this is a fantastic idea, especially the last bullet point. I love reading about people trying out new teams or putting together some crazy units. Would be fun to read up on what people find strangely effective. I don't know if I will contribute much, but I'd be happy to help in any way that I can.

I like this a lot. I brought up your last point on Sunday as potential way to stop people getting bored with just TM farming.

yep Alkez that's 100% lifted from your idea the other day. i thought it was awesome and something we can do that no other exvius community can really claim.

Valentus -- yep, we'll take this to PMs and roll this out when we have something to show. then we'll open it up for everyone. sounds like interest is high enough after like 3 replies that it will be worthwhile.

Since i'm a newb, I can definitely contribute to some of the newb questions I had when first playing.
There are things I know now that I wished I knew when I first started playing.

Man this Veritas aeroga just wipes most of my party out. I'm going to keep leveling, but curious if I wore two wind rings would it stack?

This is awesome. Thank you for spearheading this. Hopefully we can all contribute!

Where is this fight? I mean a what point in story?
Do you have unit that has Full Break. If so maybe use it in that fight?

Well, I will probably spend a couple of tickets trying to get Dark Fina (Not a prayer), and a few more attempting to get Seven. I'm just going with a mage team, because that is what I have. Even Light chains well with a mage team. No decent 5* base physical units like Luneth, or Noctis, or Greg...

Why fight it? I'm just going on a nuking spree.


Also, I am quickly losing interest in this game, but at least I really don't have to put any time into it, either. All I do is farm TMR after doing dailies. It is starting to get a little boring - just going through the motions.

Type Zero Mog King event as predicted. I think I just want the tickets, quartz, and moogle. Looking at my resources I don't particularly need the mats. I have no one to level with Gigantuars atm and I don't have the room to store them. Won't be pulling on the banner so will try to do the bare minimum.

I'm basically in the same place. I have 60-80 of each 6* awakening mat with no one to use them on except spare Exdeaths and already have 30 gigantuars taking up space.

I almost feel like if I don't pull something worth working on soon I'm gonna get bored pretty quick. The problem is the banners aren't worth pulling on...

Break + Friend unit should be able to get it done. Noctis has 'break'-like abilities that can be used too.

I can't use a friend because it's when he fights you in town. What level does Noctis get his break ability/ what's it called. I don't think I have any units with break.

He gets Warp Break at 100, Thunder Flask at 30. Thunder Flask will reduce the enemies SPR (magic resistance basically) and their MAG (magic attack power), so that might help you survive the aeroga

I remember that fight. Was tough. The story bosses were actually challenging for a while.

Edit: What Lyrian said.

Agrias can Full Break at 5*/76. Noctis gets Warp Break at 6*/max. Both are a ways away for you. When I hit the Veritas of Heavens wall, I went into the xp vortex and didn't return until my team was all at least 4*/50. That's what I'd recommend.

What units are in your box? Also, did you pick up the Masamune from the White Dragon in Farplane yet?

I think I'll do a single 10+1 on the Type 0 banner, to see if I can snag a bonus unit or two. I'd like Ace, but he is really, really not worth whaling for at this point. The worst part about this event is that most of the event gear is way worse than what a lot of us have from farming TM's for so long. In for the 6* materials and Gigantaurs though.

Not going to lie; this is the worst lull in the game I think Global has had since launch. There's really not much to do at all right now, which is annoying. I haven't played so many other games in ages. TMR farming is *******so******* boring (extra asterisks added for extreme annoyance and sarcasm). ZzzzZZZZzzzZZZZZ. All for ~3% to a TM per day + 1% for every 100 lapis I throw at it.

Giving up on Dark Fina, who I really wanted to save tickets for needing to roll FFZ gold unit to have any chance to get at least the mid-tier rewards without grinding for all 14 days of the event. Disappointed, but those are the breaks in any gacha game.

I'm currently in the subway and thought to myself...well there is no reason to pull on the type 0 banner, you spent so much lapis and tix trying to get mercedes with out getting her.

My finger was hoverig over the daily pull button when a ruck went through the car and i accidently pulled.

I thought: well okay daily pull it is:

My firs reaction: Oh shit calm down Dandte. Don't freak out.


Omg.omg.omg.

I want to hug everyone. I want to scream out my joy, but i have to be quiet. So Gaf....

Hooooooooooooray!!!!

So ready for this! First champion belt just finished, second one and Kaiser knuckle will finish later tonight! Firion FALCON PAAAUUUUNCH! Also chilly pls.

I guess I'm in the minority that I like the lull we've had recently. Would be nice to have a better banner at some point, but those kind of bum me out because of all the "I spent x $ trying for x and didn't get it screw this game" and people quitting stories.

Sounds like it might be time to pull Leo out of retirement for this doubleicorn thing. His draw attacks stack with provoke right? I might prefer Leo getting attacked guaranteed to Cecil taking the hit only 70% of the time.

If it's like the cover mechanic, the game will try to proc Provoke (70%), then if it fails it'll try Draw Attacks (50%)
 
Question for anyone that has some knowledge on the Gilgamesh trial. I know you have to "lock" elements to beat by using those elements against him. So do elemental weapons count or just elemental abilities?
 

Dandte

Thank you all! BraveExviusGaf is still the best Gaf!!!!

I guess my next batch of tm will be

Zidane
Shantotto

elemental weapons count, I think.

People like using rain for example as he has a fire/earth element attack. Then when you combine in two elemental weapons ( + duel wield) you're knocking out for 4 elements with one unit.
