Totally agree. Let's make them useful Gumi!i really hopw they take the time to bump up actualt FF characters
you would think with FF in the name of the damn game
gimme some global exclusive 6 star Shadow, Sabine, Cyan, Celes, Locke, and Edgar!
Just lost in Arena to someone with 3 Noctis, a Dark Fina, and a Gilgamesh.
I think 2 of the Noctis had Ring of the Lucii.
Disgusting.

Free: Edge ***
Half Price: Medius ***
Rare: Artemios ***
I still got no healer.
I hope you won't get the chance to meet the 5 Lightning team that obliterated me. All Lightnings were equipped with evade materias, I've never seen so many MISS pop up on my screen.
If it weren't for that loss, I would've been in the top 100. That cost me a few hundred drops :/
I think my Exdeath usually beats that team. I have Cecil + Refia, so we just survive turn 1 and nuke them. But with Noctis, if ANY of them use flasks, it's gg.
I played the same dude, and lost!Just lost in Arena to someone with 3 Noctis, a Dark Fina, and a Gilgamesh.

My free pulls so far have been Ludmille and Garnet. Already had them both but not bad pulls.
It's getting down to the wire with the Akademia event. I really need some Doublicorns to grace me with their presence. I should be able to get most of the things I want, but I'd like to get Jack and Trey's materia, just in case. Also, wouldn't mind stocking up on those megacites for when Odin releases.
DH recommended over DW for Elza? I have a Demon Scythe in the making and plenty of Gungnirs.
How long does tha Ackdemia event last for?
Also, is there anyway to get easy Holy Crystal? I need it to awaken like 5 units and I can't get them to drop from awakening trial.
Ackademia is the first event I have played some of (farming to awaken 6* Mercedes).
noob question: Phantoma is used to buy from King Mog now, will that change when the event ends? Basically do I need to spend them all or they become useless? Or is that always the currency used?
Right now, DW is still better on global. (Didn't have any Zidanes at the time I started).
In the far future, kind of where JP is reaching now, DH starts finding it's own niche once the ATK mod cap is reachable. DW alllows for solid twin attacks per round (plus extra elemental attacks where needed). while DH enables an ultra-strong (more than DW) single attack that is superior for finishing moves at ends of chains (see that Firion video posted a few pages back).
That said, units like Elza, Mercedes, and Garland benefit the most from DH, as they don't lose functionality (because they don't have innate DW or are natively allowed to equip shields) by giving up the offhand slot.

Hadn't seen anyone post this yet, compiled from Reddit postings:
Key missions to clear in the new event:
Great Nian Beast (ADV) [Boss only fight] - Clear with party of 5 or less --> Jeweled Ring
Great Nian Beast (ELT) - Defeat with Limit Break - Summon Ticket
Great Nian Beast (ELT) - Defeat with Esper - Tamer Whip
Great Nian Beast (ELT) - Defeat with Item - 5% Trust Moogle
--> Instead of an exploration, there are daily "lesser" fights against the boss for various mission prize. NOTE: These missions change DAILY, and are lost forever otherwise. The daily rewards are a mix of various random awakening materials, minor amounts of lapis, magicites, cactaurs, you name it.
Nian Beast Attacks (PRO, Day 2) - No green magic --> Summon Ticket
Nian Beast Attacks (PRO, Day 2) - Party of 5 or less --> Power Pot x2
Nian Beast Attacks (ADV, Day 2) - Party of 5 or less --> HP +15%
Nian Beast Attacks (PRO, Day 4) - No deaths --> MP +20%
Nian Beast Attacks (ADV, Day 5) - Party of 5 or less --> Summon Ticket
Nian Beast Attacks (ADV, Day 6) - No limit breaks --> Soul Pot
Nian Beast Attacks (PRO, Day 6) - Party of 4 or less --> Summon Ticket
Nian Beast Attacks (PRO, Day 7) - Summon Siren --> Magi Pot x3
Nian Beast Attacks (PRO, Day 7) - No items --> Tough Pot x 2
So how did 6* Xiao turn out? She still pretty crappy?
I can't tell if Xiao's attacks are 180% are split across 3 hits or each hit is 180%, lol. If it's the latter, then she's pretty great. If the former, pretty meh.
Now, you want to discuss scary units, look at the gold crystal (Ling) in the new batch.
Yes, once the event is over your Phantoma is useless. Keep in mind you do have a few days after the event ends that the Mog King will still accept Phantoma but once he stops he stops forever.
Now, you want to discuss scary units, look at the gold crystal (Ling) in the new batch.
-- 25% innate Camouflage
-- 40% !!!!!! innate Evade (more Arena nightmares)
-- Human Slayer (+75%)
-- 40% extra crit chance
-- Entrust
-- High Tide
-- WoL's 6* breaks (BOTH of them, albeit at only 2 turns duration each)
-- Active ability to replenish self MP (+ passive self-Refresh)
-- Party-wide (except self) MP refill ability
-- Cure EVERYTHING ability (Reddit, per Nazta, says this even cures Stop)
-- Noctis's Fire Flask (without the damage; oh the living hell when everyone has access to mass random status effects.... /shudder)
-- Immune to Sleep, Paralyze. Confuse
-- AoE Raise (basic raise, not full raise)
-- She appears to be featuring a new mechanic where if she uses most abilities, she will auto-charge herself (datamine suggests up to perhaps 10x times consecutively before capping, +100% mod per, 1000% max; no one is quite sure yet) and seems to be unleashed via normal auto-attack.
Her only downfalls are an extraordinarily limited equipment set (daggers and clothes only) and the lack of direct healing (despite having all other staples of a white mage, plus can't equip white magic materia).
Seriously scary support unit right there, and not even a rainbow. I'm ready to burn some tickets for her.
People will waste everything for these awesome units and then they release Orlandu next week. Perfect business strategy.
The Akademia event ends tomorrow at midnight.
If you can run the Maze of Enchantment, you might net some holy crystals. I've gotten around 15 or so over the past few days. You can also get them in the INT Awakening run in the Vortex.
