Hey guys. Just starting this game and it seems like there's a lot to take in. First thing is first below is what I rolled. Who should I be focusing on in terms of leveling? I know some of these guys can be awakened to 5* so just curious. Secondly, I'm looking at the beginner's guide and stuff on reddit to learn but what should be my main objective just starting out. Focusing on leveling? farming for mats to forge? just looking for a direction as GBF is fairly easy on what to focus on which is the weapon grid.
Unfortunately I already linked so I can't reroll.

let's all point and laugh
Have you considered making a dummy FB account? Just logout of your current one and continue rerolling, then once you get something good link it to your dummy FB.
Eh. I already tied it to my personal FB acct and I'm not really down for making a dummy acct. Is this acct just THAT bad?
Still can't decide if I want to chase Luka. The thought of hunting one unit is a little scary.
Are there any other good healers coming down the pipeline soon?

Done.
Thanks!
Kayos,
Going with that account, Cecil is an awesome pull that's a top tank in the game who also has one of the best Trust Mastery Rewards (TMR or TM). The latter quality is why it's nice you pulled two. You'll be able to acquire two Excaliburs in the long wrong if you ever TM farm which is great.
Rydia should be serviceable as a mage for now and Firion will be a nice unit soon when he gets his 6* during the FFII banner. That might even be what's coming next week but we're not sure yet. The default characters, Rain and Laswell should get their 6* soon too and Rain will be an awesome support unit when that happens with Laswell being a solid DPS unit until you get something better. Roselia is a decent healer to start out with. What are the other 11 units we can't see?
I was going to recommend the solo ADV vortex if you can't handle the explorations but Valentus gave some sage advice on Aquapolis exploration. In any case, I've power leveled my share of units with the vortex when there wasn't a nice event to exploit and it works well since even if you're level 1, you're friend unit will decimate the enemies and they don't claim any of the xp.
As for the difficulty and balance in story mode, it's actually excellent. I mentioned this to another newbie and basically what's happening is you guys are coming in when a decent amount of story missions are available and are rushing through them without doing much else in the game which makes sense because we keep telling you guys to do story. What we're forgetting and you guys may not be aware of is that when the game hit, we've only been getting one story chunk a month so it's easy to get your units leveled and geared before the new story content and progress over time. Since you guys have so much story available, when you hit the brick wall in difficulty, it's time to focus on other aspects of the game, namely leveling your units and awakening them. It looks as though you've already figured that out but just wanted to speak to the game's difficulty and accessibility. Once you get a full team that's leveled up, you won't ever run into this problem again. You'll crush each new story section, easily like the rest of us. Patience, my friend! You'll get there!
Just rolled Garnet and Vanille. Not sure if good... Hmm...
What do you do with 3* that you guys think are garbage?

Was Luka the Charlotte of that banner?
Bought a 10 roll and I got a total of 5 Lukas... The fuck?
Well I did 5 summons to scratch the itch. Got 3 bartz, Luna and Jack. Guess I'll stop. Is Jack any good?
kayo, seriouslly staph
You got enough good units to advance through the story
Wait for next banner (probably FFII) to summon, dont waste your lapis now.

Okay thanks. Anything urgent after that?
Also PSA for everyone running the event. My game has been crashing on iOS after the special event monster. When I boot back up, it just keeps crashing when changing to the next round. If you're having the same issue, I found a work around. When you log back in quickly click menu, options, then back out to the battle. It shouldn't crash anymore that run for whatever reason.
dunno but that should last you like a month so you'll probably have better units to TM by then
Zidane x 2(dont combine), Garfarion, Hayate, Agrias.
woops seems like i skip not including main unit. just woke up >.<
should really include Agrias.
I never TM Farm till 6 months into the game.
Started with Cecil, 6 months later, he is 37%.
If you really dont want to include(you can set up multiple party with the same units fyi)
then put Locke for his Rising Sun
Vivi is worse than both, he doesn't even have a useful TM. Firaga...really?The only thing more garbage than Kuja is Zidane
poor FF9 why do the devs hate you?
Done.
Looking at the "Units to Safely Trash" tab. Having 1 of Lani's Equip Axe and Penelo's Equip Dagger would be good. No reason to aim for them but if you get them via pulling a ridiculous amount of them, then it's all good.
Equip Axe is useful if you have Mercedes' TM, the Viking Axe. It's one of the few weapons that's Water Element and high damage. There are only two others that notable ones with both conditions. Fraternity (Tidus' TM) and the Water Spirit's Sword (Camille's TM). If you manage to pick up Tidus, you can equip do Equip Axe and then give him Mercedes' Viking Axe so he can immediately go Limit Burst -> Quick Trick instead of having to do Jecht Shot to get water element. It'll work as substitutde until you can get his TM. You can then equip the materia and axe to another character after you get Fraternity. You'll have then have a Chainer that can work with Tidus to deal big damage and take advantage of his LB's Water Resistance debuff.
Equip Dagger is useful when Abel's Cowboy Knife comes out. There are a few characters that can't equip daggers thus can't make use of this, like Orlandu. It's better to equip the Cowboy Knife on someone that can equip daggers naturally but having this option can be helpful.
