Guys, I wonder if this means we should use up any Lapis we have on our Amazon Underground EXVIUS app? How many of you use the app there?

Amazon is shutting down Amazon Underground

I only use this version on my old laptop for TM farming overnight (there were some good Lapis deals a while back). I'm wondering if I should use up all my lapis and switch over to Android there now...hmm

I think that's just the free apps program. They aren't closing down the Amazon app store and the amazon coins are they?

Correct. They're closing down Amazon Underground because it isn't making them money; they're keeping their app store and Amazon Coins because it makes them money. At least from what I've been able to find.

Utilizing Amazon store prices is the only way in hell I'd pay money on this game - Australian regional prices are comparatively absurd.

As for the banner, passing entirely. Aileen is cool but not attractive enough to chase given I have Orlandeau, and the other units on the banner are boring. This will be my position when Type-0 3 drops in a couple weeks, too.
 
I went from wanting 2 Aileen's (Well I still want 2) to just passing on this banner other than dailies. I wasn't aware she was coupled with complete shit just like Orlandu was. If FF Type 0-3 is the next banner after I am skipping that one as well mainly because I wanted to punch Rem in the face when I played Type 0 and who needs more healers at this point anyway?

That's good to know. The discounts on Amazon coins is really one the main reasons I put money in this game. Its actually what also keeps me from other gatcha games, kinda don't want to spend full price for any in-game currency.

Sohze's TM looks really nice, especially as MP regen stacks. Also, I think Aileen might really shine in GL if you have Yun's TM + two Champ Belts as she can equip fists on her off hand. I'll probably won't get multiples of Aileen like I did with Orlandeau.

I'm also really conflicted with Rem, I do want her "don't die" ability (which is better re-raise), and the AOE MP drain, but I probably won't hard pull her.

Yeah, I say I won't pull for Aileen, but let's be honest I probably will because I am weak, but I really don't want to spend money on the game anymore so who knows. Rem however I won't do anything more than dailies/tickets for sure.

Lol, I put Tuffy's invincible Ling to work last night with a macro to get the "no deaths" clear on Dark Espers, went to bed right after Siren died, and figured the macro was working and everything was in the bag.

Woke up this morning to the home screen of Nox, the app having crashed. Re-opened the app, checked what happened, and I'm presented with Siren and Ifrit at full health as if the whole fight never happened.

God dammit.

Aileen Banner is a pass from me. I'm on full-save mode until Tidus/Rikku banner.

I need to do the daily each day, otherwise it gets boring for me. I got a Rainbow the other day, but of course it wasn't Trance Terra. Instead it was the great DKC.

That sucks.

I on the other hand finally cleared all the missions just now after literally 10 tries over the past 3 days!

My party: Cecil Ling Minfilia Yshtola, Friendlandu. After 9 tries I finally beat it with this party but didnt get the esper or no deaths.

So I threw Noctis into my party and went back in. Found it really easy with 6 members!

I wanted that Great Sword Mastery something FIERCE... and now I have it! :)

Big shoutout to all my GAF friends sharing their 900+ATK Orlandus!

Also, Ifrit's Claw is an incredible accessory. I havent yet farmed a bracer (one in the oven now, Champions Belts are next) but ATK+ 30 and HP+ 10%? Sheeeeiiiiit. Not only will I take that but Ill equip it too!

I'll be doing some dailies on banner, but yep. I figured she would get stuck with a pocket load of ass. Sorry Eileen. You really got the shaft on that one.

Not like I'll get her anyway. I still would just kill for a Noctis.

/takes notes in preparation for how many people will post Aileen pulls on Friday

Aileen doesn't play well with others, IIRC, framewise. If I'm going to chase another 5* base physical unit it'll be Veritas of the Dark in a few months or something.

Having your favorites is (or should be, I suppose I haven't actually resisted the pull impulse on a new banner post-Trance Terra yet) liberating as far as desire goes.

It helps when the other units on the banner are garbo.

Can't even see a good reason to do dailies on this one. 15,000 lapis and counting.

I'm like a dolphin caught in the plastic from a six-pack of soda.

I still hope for off banner pulls mainly. Usually don't on main until recently. Alt I do dailies hoping for a break.

Is there any must have stuff from Titan? Picked up Power Break, Armor Break, Geocrush, and Tumult. Still have points and still have levels to get him. Wondering if there is anything else.

Barstonra and Tumult are really the only meaningful skills he gets, and that term is loosely applied. He's just a stat stick otherwise. But a really big stick.

Okay, cool. Just wanted to make sure. I guess I can pick up whatever then. Thank you.

Also, now done with story on main... no longer need Fish. No longer need Maze (capped out Setzer), I've got nothing to do right now. And you know what? It's kind of refreshing... it's sad I'm going to let my NRG rot, but at same time, it hasn't rotted in weeks so it can do so right now.

Whoah, I had no idea Titan was out. I'm woefully behind on story. Looks like next week is a good time to catch up after clearing the event stuff.

Yes, an exploration event! Finally a break! It'll be a good week for TMs. Also lapis, since that banner is crap with an Eileen-cherry on top that I ain't touch'n.

I'll enjoy your pulls, but I'm 100% sure I won't waste my time in this banner. I'm way too invested in other games right now, so I couldn't care less about Brave Exvius, specially for a unit that is absolutely not necessary considering I already have Orlandu and Noctis.

I'll probably use those tickets though, can't wait for them Aidens and Edgars!

Well I'm thoroughly following my homemade schedule, I call it "The Road to Onion Knight"
Currently have 20k Lapis, 60 tickets + 1 4* ticket

Hmm, let's check Oddsbitch

Sohze is surprisingly good as a provoke tank. He also can actually do some damage too thanks to his skill set. Until Warrior of Light gets his 6-star, Sohze is the best choice for that kind of tank. Even after, it's a different niche. When both get their ability enhancements though, Sohze gets more damage instead of full on tanking abilities though, not sure why, lol. However, he has a 625% attack after fire resistance down which is crazy good for a tank.

She chains fine, at least I've managed to chain well enough with Orlandu. She won't be getting the crazy chains but that's pretty hard to do unless you get two of the same unit anyway.

Sorry to hear that, I crashed a few times and it picked up where I left off. I'd also recommend doing Ifrit first just cause I did it the other way around, Ifrit gets a defense buff that cuts her dmg in half >.>; *insert table flip emoji*

Yep! Requires a little more to unlock than I feel like some others, but totally worth it. Thank god for the Easter event. Had a lot of Orange saved up from that. (Just before that event I finished capping off all my espers, so it all went to stockpile for future ones.)

Ended up giving Yun Titan. Got his Attack up by 30 something points with Titan. Rawr. Plus with Armor Break and Power Break he can do something useful as well with debuffing if need be. And having Earth in the arsenal isn't bad either.

Yes, an exploration event! Finally a break! It'll be a good week for TMs. Also lapis, since that banner is crap with an Eileen-cherry on top that I ain't touch'n.

That's what I said this morning!! Oh man. Finally. A break. With Maze this week I capped Setzer on both Main and Alt account which is awesome. Took out Exdeath and put in Setzer in my group on Alt and he's kind of rocking it right now, so I dig it. Needed a little more oomph there. Just need to get him some attack pots, but he's a nice addition to my group right now since I lack any major power hitters. (Also, my daily on Alt pulled again a Setzer. Wow game, give that to someone who doesn't have him and want him instead. And I used ticket last night we got right away on Alt and got... Nine. Again. Swear to god...)

I'll continue doing my dailies on alt. One day my luck has to break through. Right? Right...? Right??? :( One day. I may do a couple dailies on main but will probably skip.

2/3, I just miss the LB kill. Thanks for sharing your Marie guys, it's really a really good support!

My team was : Yun, Bartz, Snow (not really useful I should replace him with COD for return), Cecil (with Dual Cast), Y'shtola, and friend Marie.

I want to try Gilgamesh, some guide guy?

Also, Eileen is here (Aileen, OrlandEAU, the fuck), are you guys about to pull for her??

Seems like a lot of folks here are holding off. Or so they say.
Same thing happened on Orlandu. THE ORLANDU EFFECT WAS REAL!
We'll see how that goes. *cough* I'm still calling her Eileen. And Orlandu as Orlandu. They can butcher names all they want, but I won't participate.

I wonder if it just reset me because I re-opened FFBE on my phone instead of Nox. Now that I think about it, that probably is why. So disappointed in myself, lol.

Thanks for the tip on doing Ifrit first, I'll try that next time.

*Edit* did a 10+1 on the wiki and got Aileen in my first pull. There goes my RL luck for months.

This. So much this.

If people were actually planning to not pull on the banner they wouldn't bother airing that decision to the world lol.

Ah interesting. A friend and I were thinking that he might be a decent chain ender while acting as a provoke tank. If I get him I'll definitely level him up then.

It's also quite plausible that Gumi may be giving Sohze some time in the lime light and is achieving this by intentionally holding off WoL's 6* upgrade (for who knows how long). Until that happens, Sohze will be the only 4* tank that can reach 6*, which would give him at least temporary value. I wouldn't put it past Gumi to create an event that requires his niche skills.

For that matter.... wasn't the Eileen banner a one-off and didn't come with any attached event (I think she came with INT Maze, I believe)? Which would make the coming event a custom event... hrmm.....

Gumi can take it and shove it. WoL wants his time to shine in the light and I want to give him that light. And possibly Cecil's gear to help him get there. Poor WoL...

Seriously, with as much shit as we have, can we get upgrades to our current units? Please? Garland paging Gumi HQ, get your shit together because he would like to stop sucking.

As I recall, WoL's and Garland's 6-star came around the same time as Sohze but I could be wrong on that. If I remember correctly, the Aileen banner was also an FF1 pick-up banner.

Yes it was at the same time, if we don't hear anything tomorrow, that would be awful but I guess we are used to it.

Snow... that's a four letter word... like Hope?

Tanks wear plate. Snow doesn't wear plate. He's a brawler, not a tank in the traditional sense. (Brawler/Monk =/= tank), even he is supposed to take hits. (potato, potatoe...)
