Final Fantasy Brave Exvius |OT3| A How To Guide Of Pulling Out To Avoid Bediles

The only two rainbows I've pulled, since starting day 1 of global, were Chizuru (from rerolls) and Ramza (who took literally all of my resources at the time - every last bit of lapis and all my tickets).
On a scale of 1 to 10, my trouble with trials so far has been somewhere between 0 and 2.
Do daily pulls, foster and grow a large pool of units with a mix of useful-now, useful-later, and useful-situationally. Use tickets to obtain 1~2 instances of a unit with a valuable TM (hi Ludmille, Gaffgarion, Snow). Spend Lapis on TMs to bulk up your Attacker Prime unit, followed by valuable utility TMs (Doublecast), defensive TMs to go on your healer (Equip Shield, Aegis Shield, Minerva Bustier), then double back to work on your second attacker.
A lot of these TMs are arguably more "future-proof" than the units we're equipping them on. Shouta was just talking the other day about finishing his Champion Belt for Prishe. Katana Mastery looks like it's going to be relevant for ages. And normalized 3* rates have put Zidane in a lot of pockets lately.
Do I wish I'd pulled Elza, Luneth, Gilgamesh, Lightning, and/or Noctis? Hell yeah. Am I at a grievous disadvantage for not having done so? Hardly, nor does that look to change in the near future. Play smart instead of spending hard - but if you spend hard, don't kid yourself that you did it because you need 5* bases to clear content right now. You're pulling 'cause you want a shiny new toy. That's fine! That's why a lot of us are playing. But go into things with a clear head so you don't get taken advantage of.
I mean, Valentus is going to carry us all on his shoulders anyway.

Panther posted this a few pages back:
It's pretty obvious when there's a moogle there. Sometimes he's standing next to the door, but it's hard to miss in any case.
We better get those buffs someday!
Squall and across, you guys have the right mindset. Can't let stuff like this get to you, and nothing in the game so far requires units like this. Your time will come eventually (even chrono's!), and it will be all the better knowing that you persevered for it.
And on this Noctis, not new "Mercenary Noctis" or some other bs.

Just how many charlottes do you want?

Alright guys, help me decide the new priority for TM farming please!
DW x3
Excalibur x5 (how many should I keep?)
Sakarafabuki x2
Blade Mastery x3
Viking Axe
Rising Sun
Minerva Buster
Bracer x2
Black Cowl
MAG 30% x2
Omnirod
Growth Egg
There are a few other good ones like Aegis Shield and Ribbon but know those are lower priorities than most of what I listed.
Right now I have the first DW in the 90's so will finish soon and the first Excal almost at 50% so those two will stay in. I currently have Rising Sun, Sakurafabuki, and Omnirod in but thinking Rising Sun and for sure Omnirod are lower priorities than the new haul.
So besides the one DW and Excal, what should I prioritize for the other three spots first for TM farm? The other two DW and another Excal? Black Cowl? Bracer? all those seem like top priorities. Even Rising Sun is because Chizo and CoD are my two DPS unless Mercedes is a better choice than CoD but doubt that since CoD has other utility.
Thoughts? Would appreciate input!

what unit you want to power up?

Maybe he wants all the Charlottes
I need at least 3 H sheidls and a charlotee harem
Damn, 2x Chizuru with DW and Kazekiri wind chaining just wrecks everything, should've done this sooner for arena.
Just slap some HP materias for them+petrify immunity accessories and slap CoD and refia with them for good measure. Arena should be easy for a long time after that and if no DW, it still deals insane dmg.
2x Shantotto's will be interesting when her 5 start upgrade comes along <.<

I guess Chizo makes the most sense, right? Units worth using are:
Charizo
CoD
WoL
ExDeath
Refia
Cecil (haven't leveled him up because working on LB)
Mercedes (Worth using over CoD? Guessing no)
Bartz?
Charlotte
everyone else is only useful for TM besides Arc, Lenna, Kefka, and Garnet which I don't need because I have ExDeath and Refia now. I have WoL in my party and his level maxed out so prioritize him as a tank over Charlotte unless she's be THAT much more useful than him right now in which case I'd have to level her. DPS seems to rule the world in this game and is what I'm lacking so I'm guessin I should prioritize them first and Chizo hits harder than CoD so yeah, thinking Chorizo? What say you?
Thanks, I was worried I would miss him. Nearly impossible to miss.I think I've ran the maze at least 20x today and don't recall seeing him once.

Finally, bought the 70k moogle leaving my Zidane at 25%. Kinda wish I had saved some more instead of feeding them to Terra for Ultima

1. You agree that's the unit I should focus on first, right?
2. I don't have Equip Axe so I can hold off on Viking Axe it seems for now and just have her equip two katanas in the meantime.
So I should right now be farming:
DW
Blade Mastery
Sakurafabuki
Black Cowl
Bracer
Bracer (or swap this for Minerva Buster? or can do another Sakuarfabuki at the same time)
Although I kind of want to keep going on Excal because it's nearly 50% already. Speaking of, how many Excaliburs do I want to keep for the future? I have 5 Cecils so any you don' think I need I can fuse to learn one faster. My first DW is real close to being done so can swap that for another of these soon too unless I should just replace DW with another DW. Also, is there a need for three DWs? You only have two DPS units at one time and a tank is better off using a shield in the other hand I'd think.
I don't have enough Lani's units...
Finish Excalibur first since you're halfway done and drop Black Cowl or the second Bracer for now. A second Dual Wield, Blade Mastery, Sakurafabuki (GUMI PLS), and Bracer along with the Excalibur looks like a great batch to work on.
Also make as many Excaliburs as you can. 10 would be optimal considering no one can wield more than 2 at this point in time.
We shall get another crack another BF banner once Tilth get her 6 star and we should also get Vargas in same banner too.

On reroll Number I dunno now. Best 5 pull I have got so far was Exdeath, Krile and Amarant out of 5. Been at this all day. Still going.
Zidane, Hayate, Mercedes, and Chizuru.
That's a good pull considering you actually got lots of useful stuff from it.

It's really the best I could have expected.
1. Chiz instantly becomes my first legit DPS.
2. Hayate for that SWEET Black Cowl action for CoD
3. Another Golbez in one day? HMMM. Meteor though.
4. VIKING AXE FUCK YES lemme learn about Mercedes
5. Another DualWield, another Maxmillian?
When I closed my eyes and pressed PULL the only thing I imagined was a useful pull with some good TMs. Very, very pleased.
Gonna go get that refund for last week now.

All things considered, that's a really nice utility 11 pull. Way better than my pulls today, that's for sure.

Keep going until you get Noctis, Lightning, or Gilgamesh.
I think so.
Holy shit Panther!
Don't stop till you get noctis or Greg.

Thanks Chrono. Someday that 5* will come I know it!
For sure. Never give up the dream.

For people that think they have bad luck, rzesh on twitch has done 43 11-pulls with no Noctis. He's gotten 4 rainbows on stream and they were DKC and 3 trolls. Completely ridiculous.

I hope there's a bunch of trash banners coming up so i can get my ticket stash back up, fucking Noctis damn near emptied me out.
I feel like we talk about getting your first 5* like losing your virginity.
"Some people give it up when they're young for cheap floozies like Delita, but if you wait, I'm sure you'll meet an Orlandu someday who's going to make you feel like the most special person in the whole world."
