Lance is good in a pinch in case something goes wrong. Maybe finger snap too for dispel on the pinch. The rest is never going to be used ever.

Thank you.

Hmm. Won't be able to get all. I figure that's what the colors are, right? Ones to get? I went all in on ATK. I regret nothing. But I'll take a look into seeing what I have at end and getting one of them. I haven't spent all my points up to this point, but won't have many more coming to me with 3 levels to go.

Valentus made a video about the 'best' way to enhance Odin

 

[Musings]

Finally broke the Shera curse and pulled.... a Butz. Adding him to the TM list alongside his 2 clones.

 

[Xion86]

After weeks and weeks, finally a decent Daily pull!

Now I can get a second Bracer.

 

[Ken]

Today is gold dailies? I got a Leon and kettle got a Hope.

I can't believe it's not Shera!

 

[robertsan21]

Daily pull another bartz!
Golden ticket second Snow!

Good stuff

 

[Valentus]

Panther, do you still have troubles with gilga? If you want i can make a walkthrough vídeo with the units and equip you have .

Hope you can clear it soon buddy

Funny story: Only today I found out that bringing certain Type-0 units into the current event missions would increase the amount of White Phantomas you will earn. Man, I feel so stupid.

In any case, I've managed to get enough materials from King Mog to awaken Dark Fina to 6* and Luka to 5*

Two Russell in a row for daily. This banner has been complete crap for me.

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

Anything else that I should get from Odin? I got Bladeblitz, Undead Killer, and Dragon Killer.

Edit: Good to see this will be another epeen fest on raid for the rank rewards. -_-;

Hmm I'm wondering if I'll have to skip the 30k Trust Moogle for the first time in these events. I've still got to grab:
MP +15%
All 10 Rare Summon Tickets
Stock up on a few Awakening materials.

Will see how I get on today.

 

[H3xum]

After about 80 failed attempts (more like 7-8) I have decided that I don't have the pieces I need to knock out all of the Gilg trial missions. Seems to be coming down to not having a mana battery (my daily reminder that I f'd up big time by not pulling Ling).

I have everyone over 4.8k HP at this point (Refia with Ramuh, Cecil with Golem, Bartz with Diablo and Firion with Odin) and good enough equips (Bartz with trident + excal, Firion with Chij + kaiser knucks and was generally taking a Noctis for redundant fire+holy coverage). I mean, there is a pretty good chance I am just dumb/bad at this game, but, I run out of mana often and any turn I take to try to address that generally means I am donezo. Plus I have had 2-3 times at 20% threshold where for whatever reason people other than Cecil die to the insta-KO then it is just overrrrr.

I think I am going to wait for Tilith 6* for the mana sustain before I try again. Assuming I am lucky enough to get her. That being said I feel like I could beat it with a full team, running a 2nd tank to throw those elixer candies at my Refia/friend Noctis but, I will feel like a loser without the 30% attk

It was so wonderful not seeing seeing him pop up.

Now back to grinding out TMs to try and take on big Greg FML.

Can you test same with Werebuster + Excalibur / STQ?
I didn't grab TW so now Iam wondering should I go with gs + katana (Bm) or WB + katana.

Bartz: I'd try giving him Coral Sword + Excalibur + Water Blade materia. Water Blade with Coral Sword will seal those three elements and WB only costs 3 MP. That way you don't have to rely on Thunderflask (though I still occasionally used Thunderflask for the MAG break on my Ling-less run)

You can also Life Giver to Refia on Threshold turns since you don't have to seal.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Got a daily bartz, so yay! I can TM farm two and fuse to save time for olive!

Beyond that really trying to get some lapis for player's choice. Gotta do dailies at least I need a Cecil!

Really not having a Cecil (and my old Ramza) are the only things I miss about my old account. Elza was replaced with olive, and I got new toys in Marie and actually got a Zidane! So I'm about even currently, but I haven't spent a dime on the new account and I still have the last third of olderion and all of zalbaad to go through.

 

[Rixa]

Before your post. I was wondering many times, how the fuck can unit wield 3 weapons:
Coral Sword
Excalibur
Water Blade

But as I wasn't focusing to Water at all I just left it behind. Now that you typed the materia word, I had to check wtf is that thing .

So with Coral Sword equipped and using water blade, it covers the lightening? Because I found out the hard way that just a straight up lightening weapon alone doesn't cover lightening haha

You can also use Stone Blade, which is what I did. I generally found the earth element a bit more annoying than water, but none of them are really lethal.

edit: However if you need a free turn at some point, you can also use Water Blade on someone. Sealing Water 3 times causes him to cast Break and do nothing else.

How are people under Rank 20 getting rank 6 characters? Is it a lucky pull or a whale or some kind of leveling system beyond enhancing that I'm not aware of?

Money

I mean

If you are new you could burn a bunch of free pulls on a king mog banner. Have a friend unit carry you through PRO or ELT

Amass all the mats you need and gigantaurs to push a unit to 6 star fast

 

[Zippedpinhead]

idk if i could give up an account with elza and ramza

It was hard, lot of good stuff there, BUT three month dry spell, no Zidane (after tons of pulls and hundreds of dollars) so none of my characters were really performing up to the standards others had.

I was just flat left behind, so I dumped that account (though it is tied to my Facebook account). I could always go back, but I'm having more fun with the F2P account I'm currently on then I ever did with that pay account.

 

[shintoki]

Most likely rerolling till they get what they want, or multiple 5* units.

With a strong friend, they can plow through 95% of the content too. My Noctis can clear basically anything alone right now, but the Giglamesh trial and March of the Beasts.

Do you have Snow or anyone else who can draw attacks? If you slap Golem on someone with Draw Attacks and use Provoke, they attract all single target attacks which Cecil then covers, mitigating a lot of the damage.

Have you considered doing two runs, splitting up the no items and 5-man missions?

If you're using water blade, then trident is pointless with Bartz. Use coral sword and vernard so he seals 3 elements (Fire, Thunder, Water or Wind). Prioritize Gale Barrage to seal wind since it's more dangerous than water. Don't hesitate to use Life Giver when Refia runs low on mp. Hp equipments and materias are preferable.

Swap hero ring with muscle belt. Your 4 abilities aren't that useful. Equip as many hp materia as you can.

Refia HP-4698 ATK 141 MAG-207 MP-359 DEF-222
Golem Staff
Soul crown
Black robe
Jewel ring
muscle belt

You don't need jewel ring on Refia as she's immune to paralize and confuse. Swap it with another muscle belt instead. Use Ramuh on her so she can cast or dual cast Thunder in case you need to. Equip as many hp materia as you can.

Note worthy equipment that I have but not using
2 Muscle belts
1 hero ring
Vernard
phantasmal blade
wizard rod
Rune staff

Lastly, take a Noctis with Excalibur and Chiji, use Thunder Flask. These 3 elements hurt the most.

But I'll be honest, it'll be a very hars fight for you. But i think it can be done. If not, just beat it with a 6 man crew without items, then clear it a second time with 5 man crew with items.

who should I bring as nr 5 in my team?
CoD
Exdeath
Yun?

Firion is not maxed yet..

Will the event become much easier after first clear?

 

[bonkeng]

Yun would be good since he's immune to paralyze and confuse too. But do you have Sonic or Kaiser Knuckles? And try crafting thunder or fire blade first, because his mp is quite low, using Blazing Heart will drain his mp pool quite fast.

CoD might work too since she has 125% bonus damage from maneater. But her weapon is too limited, might be difficult.

Exdeath is out of the question imo.

btw, you do have DC on Refia right? If not, then just wait for Yshtola.

 

[Nikokuno]

2 Nimbus the same day (PRO) I'm shocked, 4th total since the beginning of the event.

I do have a Snow, however, he is not leveled

And yeah I think I am going to do the full team run now and I will worry about the 30% later, I am just itching to prove to myself that my account isn't completely worthless

 

[Valentus]

Firion with beast tamer and kaiser:

Olive with only ifrit as Killer

Olive outdamages firion. I dont have a yun but i expect him doing more damage than olive so the top 3 damage dealers for this trial are

Yun
Olive
Firion

(I read that randi desnt do more damage than firion)

 

[MMBosstones86]

I do not have Dual Cast on Refia.... I am at 16% 16.5% 7.3% and 25.2% on those units for Dual cast... so getting very close
I have Sonic knuckles but NOT kaiser yet. working on getting one and are very close to for one kaiser 23.5% 26% and 14.7% the 4th Xiao is 0% as I just got her.

 

[Lyrian]

pull a Dark Fina

ROFL!

I tried, but I was not enough of a man for her, sadly.

Rydia can crack that whip almost as well though



With the raid this week and FFZ-2 ending, that would mean a free week for TM farming, I think?
