Free summon was Snow. 4th one so I'm either going for 4 Champ Belts or 2 and fusing 2 and 2. Can't see myself using more than one fist user at a time so probably option 2.
Today's free pull was a 4* Zidane and the 1/2 off was a 3* Jack. Assume they are worth nothing. Got a 4* Rydia from my Rare pull too.

Zidane as a unit is bad but his TM is Dual Wield and is the 2nd best TM in Global after Genji Glove.
Hmm, I'm gonna look into it later. I haven't even looked into equipping stuff yet.Zidane may be a junky unit to use, but he is a fantastic pull because of his Trust Mastery Reward. Dual Wield can be a gigantic gamechanger and will drastically increase any unit's offense power.
So if I increase the TM of a hero, said hero will gain improvements? So a 0.01% increase for every dungeon? Really? It'll take me an eternity then lol.
Yeah, hmm.It's not 0.01% it's 0.1%
Still eternity but not as long
So I picked this game back up today and it seems like I should just focus on the main story right now as the Lunar New Year and Ariana events are both way too difficult. I managed to get to the Waiting Room and only need 1 Lipstick to 5-star Ariana, With Ariana at 60 and the rest of my 4-star units at around lvl 30 the Nian Beast in impossible.
[edit] I took my Luneth from lvl 17 > 42.
I assume I can just repeat the Ariana event and collect those Gigantuar Cactuars for massive experience points.
I just started out four days ago, and is farming the Ariana event, because of friend'e Noctis' that can solo you through the entire event. So add some people, they are super kind in here.So I picked this game back up today and it seems like I should just focus on the main story right now as the Lunar New Year and Ariana events are both way too difficult.

That said, I've used all of the Noctis' available, so I have to wait those two hours for them to come back.
Nice to know. Unfortunately there's nothing available right now.Just an fyi any high ATK Noctis/Luneth/Lightning or Gilgamesh can solo it. Yun probably can as well.
no lyrian i'm beating this schmuck of a beast every time i just can't get the esper to trigger the kill
A portion of the population with a certain view in politics and social justices took control and don't let anyone else talk with different opinions. They are immediately treated as dirt and disposed of.
That said. This is the only thread I post in now. I'm a star wars fan and I even have to stay away from star wars threads because you are treated as a sexist or racist if you talk about some plot views that they don't agree with...
Anyways, Vivi free pull today
So yesterday I pulled 11 and got Ling and a dup Mercedes. Ok but there rest wer legit trash.
Then I spent a 3-4 tickets, getting TM fodder but not the kind you save more than one of.
But I have the itch, right? So I pull another ticket. It's Xiao, my 3rd total but 2nd of the day. And I'm like, huh, maybe the rates really are up. I'll pull one past my promised limit. (You all know how that goes, right?) (there's a conversation here about anyone who has dealt with addiction, but that's for another day).
So I pulled, right? MY 2ND RAINBOW EVER! YELLOW CHICKEN LOVIN YUUUUUUN. Hell yes.
anyway long story short I pulled my free unit this morning and I got my 3rd rainbow. It's Luka, my 2nd. I've burned out all rng luck for Orlandu, right?
Thanks, guys. I 5-starred Ariana now, the mats for 6-star are not too bad except for Lipstick, getting 10 of those is going to be tough. The majority of the rest I got trying to get 5 lipstick. Does lipstick drop more on higher stages? They are only available during this event, right?
Wow guess gigantuars randomly spawn in the nian event..did not expect that.
Lmao hidden tags are so much fun. It's always great when it confuses someone.I'll never get used to your avatar (and tag along with it) changing. Sometimes I see a dog, other times I see Rinoa. What madness is this!?
Congrats on your Ling, BTW. She's pretty Godly from what I can see, and your Luneth is still more than capable.
Free pull: Hayate #3
1/2 off pull: 4* Terra #2
I've really enjoyed getting back into the story quests the past two days. I'm now at the aquatic cove in Olderion. How close am I to being caught up?

I'm gonna get that dumb whip if it kills me.
For people having trouble with the Esper kill here's what I did:
- Get the Nian Beast's HP down to where a single ability strike will kill him. If using a dual wield unit for this strike, make sure that the first strike kills, not the second.
- Queue up the Esper summon and the ability.
- Activate the Esper. As soon as the animation starts, mash on the spot where the kill ability is. This should cancel the animation and activate the ability.
That should result in credit for an esper kill. This worked for me twice today, once on the standard Nian beast using Ifrit and Lightning's Crushing Blow, and again on the Great Nian beast using Ifrit and Noctis's Warp Break.
Good luck!
This is word for word what I did to get the esper kills. Well, I used Ramuh, but same deal. It's valuable, relatively low-cost training for future events where I'm sure this (obnoxious) condition will return. Think of it as training under a waterfall to improve your timing. Like Lyrian said, the goal is killing blow, overkill blow, or a chain with either of those two.
Maybe instead of giving GL useless gunners and monks they should give us a 6* summoner!
XIAO
Code:Weapons: Fist Armor: Hat, Clothes Role in a Party: Damage dealer. Tank (sorta)
Code:Pros: +Good attack when max potted +Self-sustaining unit, with good skills for healing HP/MP +Can break ATK/DEF over the media (full break) +Rockbreaker is an amazing skill to chain (instant animation and all hits are very close) +Doesnt need weapons to do good damage +Even with low MP, she doesnt need it because her skills are cheap +Amazing HP +Unleashed Chakra has a great sinergy with 2x Counter rate
Code:Cons: - Lack of equipment - Equip a weapon on her is a big drawback - The Unit with Full-TM gear isnt a big difference - Her biggest skill (Unleashed Chakra) is suicidal if you dont have a party focused on support that skill alone

Summary: Xiao is a very fun unit to use. Her big drawback is that a full TM equip Xiao isnt the beast you would expect to be, but with normal equip she is over the average of other equips. The lack of equip hurt her, but also you have good buffs for not have any weapon equipped. She has a very good HP, and with full HP equip, Xiao can reach 6.000+ HP, which is awesome with unchained chakra.
Also, unchained chakra is her big drawback because Berserk status doesnt let you do anything more than normal attacks, and also, Xiao attacks first before your party can do anything so you cant even chain those attacks.
Her Break skill is a really B-Plan when your main breaker cant perform full break (and even if you fight a physical enemy, Xiao can be your main breaker)
Xiao is a good unit to use but you need to plan her well, equip-wise.
LING
Code:Weapons: Dagger Armor: Hat, Clothes, Robes Role in a Party: All-in-One support/debuff
PROS:
+Can refresh MP
+Can revive the entire party
+Can Break ATK/DEF or MAG/SPR
+Has Fast LB fill rate and Entrust
+Auto-Refresh
+Inmunity to dangerous ailments
Code:CONS: - MP refreshing is an active skill (so you must cast it all turns to refill party's MP) - Breaks only last 2 turns (1 less than the minimun (full break, undermine) - Lowest HP, DEF (and MAG, but thats irrelevant to this unit) in the entire game - Lack of weapons to equip - Even with highest MP pool of the game, falls short because her skills are too expensive

Summary: Now Ling is a difficult unit to evaluate. Because she does all, but she doesnt do all perfect.
She can cure status? Yes, but CoD does it too and better
She can break? Yes, but dont break all stats, and for worse, her breaks last 2 turns, so you have only 1 free turn to do other actions before you need to cast a break again
She can heal MP? Yes, but you need to cast that skill all turns, because its not like Rosa's Bless that is a passive skill that last 3 turns
She can AoE revive? Yes, but when tilith gets her 6 star evolution...
And the stats. She is very weak. You need to give her big HP buff equips and materia to keep her rolling in harder content
Her 1000% normal attack is almost marginal because i dont see that real useful (and if she dies, i think that breaks the chain, and you have to start over again building to 1000%)
She is a good unit, but she cant have a primary role, but its amazing as a secondary support or debuff unit.

Summary: Little can be said about Yun. He is a Juggernaut, good HP, amazing ATK, a TM that benefits him totally, and his unique role is doing damage. Nothing more, nothing less. Yun is a better damage dealer Than Gilgamesh, but also lack "that skill" that ignores DEF or debuff elemental resistance. Not that he needs it, but it will be nice to have something like that in his arsenal.
Also, the lack of weapons can hurt him, but in general, Yun is the beast your party needs if you dont have Noctis or Gilgamesh.
Well used 8 tickets and got nothing. RIP.
Anyone know how I'm supposed to beat the Nian beast on pro or higher? Seems like taking Noctis for an easy win isnt working anymore lol.
So how exactly do I craft Ariana's gear? As I understand it, I need musical notes, but it keeps telling me I don't have enough even though I keep completing the Ariana event over and over again.
But it never adds those musical notes. I've completed the event more than 10 times yet I only got 4 musical notes. I haven't been able to craft any of her gear.You get musical notes from the boss fight only I believe. The highest difficulty consistently gave me 1-2 IIRC.
