I dont know if the dragon came back to normal (in reddit they say that its true), but if that is the case:

- dont use attacking skills. The dragon will do an AoE that reduce -100% ATK/DEF of your party.

- dont use magic attacks or green magic at all on the dragon. He will be mad and fuck you hard.

- Only use normal attacks and buff party and healing.

- At 80% 60% 40% and 20% he will cast "charge" and do nothing. Next turn he will do a strong AoE that will blind and silence your entire party. You need CoD's comeback skill to cure all your party. So cloud of darkness is a must.

- When the dragon cast "charge", you can attack him with skill this turn, because next turn the only thing he do is the blind/silence AoE

Thanks. The fight didn't seem too bad. I ran low on mp near the end, but I got the helmet and tossed it on Cecil. I used CoD, DKC, Cecil, Snow and Refia

Chizuru dinged 100, so back to leveling Exdeath. After that I have some units to pick from. Should I focus on Bartz, Firion, Garland, Vaan, Maxwell or Mercedes?

If you plan to get the Viking Axe (mercedes TM) then level her. She is very powerfull with her axe equipped.

If not then go full Bartz

I have 2 Mercedes so if I can get this macro thing working I could get dual axes for her. I'll see how this program works.

I could do this with what I have in my inventory:

So Bartz is pretty good at 6*? I have been leveling him slowly for a couple of weeks, but I didn't know how good he was so it hasn't been a priority.

Click to expand...

I honestly had no idea mercedes could become such a beast, I thought she's obsolete except for her TM as well as maybe supporting tidus in the future.

That is some nice stats for a base 4 to reach, she's very viable for people who had 5 star base DPSES elude them. You would still have to invest quite some time with TM farming, but the payoff would be worth it in my opinion if you never pulled a 5 star base.

Speaking of which, if any of you guys aren't on my list , tell me and i'll try to clear a space for you. I have a good noctis that will hopefully be of use to you in the future. I don't care if you have a level 1 rain as your leader, exviusgaf always have each others back <3. Just give me a heads up and make sure to put GAF in your PM.

take in consideration that every 6star (except the horrible traffic cone) will be good with pots. Bartz can get a good atk and his skills arent bad.

I was under the impression that Mercedes was a pretty good damage dealer, but I guess she's only good if you have her TM. That's a bummer since I was pulling hard for her.

I don't have you on my list Blazed. I'll have to look up my friend code in a few minutes.

Thanks Valentus. Looks like Mercedes absolutely can go beastmode. Reddit was suggesting that even with a potentially super high attack like you've shown that [something about defense ignore that i don't quite get] [something about not as good as XYZ units].

Still, though.

you usually are, and there is the thing about potential burst pots, but there's also the thing about the fact that i'll always, always be able to level units. All that said if I'm not TM farming during a non-gear-getting event like this, when the hell would I?

You can always level, but maze is only second 20+ minute explore runs in terms of efficiency.

Ah. I haven't looked at his 6* skills yet. I have him at 5* now, but he's fairly lackluster at the moment. I've been debating between him and Chizuru but I guess I could bring them both if I removed Maxwell. I've gotten spoiled by her AoE move that adds disease and blind. I've been feeding pots to CoD at the moment and I have her up to 400+ attack with dual wield. Need to get that mace from the plant boss. Gonna try it this weekend. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Christmas event predictions, anyone?

1. We already know the setup will look very similar to the halloween event (Pumpking Reaper) because of reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/5iklzz/gl_christmas_event_placeholders/

2. Here's what that looked like, btw: https://exviuswiki.com/Halloween_-_Night_of_the_Pumpkin

3. And what that means:

[ ] farming something like candy corn. Candy canes, anyone? Fruitcakes?

[ ] an event-specific weapon like death scythe if you clear PRO or ELT

[ ] seasonal-based equip from King Mog like the Candy Basket and Scary Mask, two of the better easily available equip to this day, esp. for F2P types.

[ ] seasonal-based banner. so instead of Dracu Lasswell, Black Cat Lid, Demon Rain, and White Witch Fina (all FFBE originals btw), think Santa's Helper Chizuru, Candy Cane Charlotte, Pirate Ice Queen Mercedes, etc.

Global version of Noctis is slightly worse, but I doubt that affects much. :p

If only I was lucky enough to roll him. *sigh*

Does it make sense to feed MAG pots to Noctis since his AOE skills deal hybrid damage or does it not make enough of a difference?

There's no way to remove noctis's stop/sleep after the fact, right? was thinking if i could get a unit killed and then just full life him i might be able to. any other post-attack (not prevent) tactics?

Why are some of the daily rewards darker than others? I logged in daily and got them all but some look like the rewards that are still coming up while some are way darker...

It's a known bug that's been happening for a while.

Between Hanging Edge and the maze I'm swimming in sacred crystals. 73 so far and I'm on track to hit a full stack before the maze is done.

Okay so it's been a pretty productive day in Exvius land for me!

Got Mercedes I Daily pull.

I finally caught up and finished ALL of the story (been a while since I went back to it), and got every reward since the start of the game (only had Olderion to finish today for rewards). Got Carbuncle and grabbed her 2nd stage too. I then went and got all the Vault Keys.

Really glad that's out the way, I have to say I started to quite enjoy the recent part of the main story too. Now it's time to focus on the Maze :) Cecil is close to 15/15 and want to get him there before the Maze ends.

Oh also I wanted to ask, I have 86 quests cleared, how many have I missed that are hidden around somewhere? :) or is that the current final amount?

Somehow skipped that Onion Knight had innate dual wield, he just need someone to lower the resist of the weapon he's holding.

Yep, 1% chances, and 0,5% for the feature 5* unit.
Rerolled for fun about 12 times and got nothing
at least it's draining my bad luck away from my account.

It's been less than 1% for me. I've rerolled probably 14 hours now. 3 of those hours were on a phone and tablet the same time.

Maze is a nice break from TM farming. Got my Chiz to 100, my WoL to 80 and thinking about going in to get my Garland to 80 (but probably won't and will use gigantaurs from Christmas event). Got 50+ sacred crystals and 20+ holy crystals.

Also...pulled my second Agrias. Opinions: should I keep and level them both for chaining 6* or TM farm them and fuse. Already have Excalibur but no other units with strong great swords
