More Arena slots would make it even more competitive and you would still need to waste lapis to get the 3k spot onwards.

On another note what's everyone's thoughts on Earth Veritas? I want WOL to take a break for a bit. My only issue is what with my team comp WOL was my breaker. I could give one of my Landu crush armor for the def/spr break but it would lower that one's dps. EV looks good as hell, love his sprite and animations and his LB is amazing but his spr is lower than WOL. How are you gearing your EV?

Imo, it depends.

If you have all the top tier defense TMs like Patriotic Call, EV is superior because his cover has 10% more chance to proc but at the cost of 20% less mitigation compared with WoL.

Tanks need to survive most of the time. If he dies, he failed at his role.

Yeah, if you're using every orb for Arena, it's going to drag you down. I only did that for a few weeks trying to get the 100 Win Streak. Since then I've only done 5 a day. Even that though.. I just want to say screw arena. It's not fun and it's just .. ugh.

Abylim, have you enhanced anyone? There are some that are worth it. (This coming from the person who shat all over Enhancements until Luneth's came out. Now I have Ace, DKC on alt, Luneth on main [CT and SM], and working on DKC on main.)

Enhanced Luneth is all

My support units of note are Rikku lol. Refia is my best healer, but no DC yet.

Depends on the content, really. Not that I have EV, but...

What're you bringing tanks to? Trials, raid fights, and maybe the last stage or two of a story event. For the first two you know ahead of time what breaks they're even susceptible to. Often as not these days, it's one stat out of four, or ATK/MAG / DEF/SPR only, or something. You rarely need access to all four breaks at once and I don't know that it's really best to have them all on your tank even if you do.

Also, EV's SPR is not lower than WoL's. WoL is 125 base + 30 pot, with no SPR passive. EV is 128 + 26 + 20% SPR passive. They both have low HP passive procs (@30% HP, self-buff); WoL's is 100% DEF, EV's is 100% DEF/100% SPR. If you're talking about the staff/robe/Shard of Genius build, then sure, but EV's should have the DEF/HP edge then.

There's also the whole thing with EV's LB blowing WoL's out of the water entirely, and he's got Counter + Eye for an Eye for potentially solid uptime on it.

Why did this stupid banner not give me EV...

Oh and I thought WoL was a good breaker?


I have WoL and EV, but I'm rocking WoL mostly because I just got him to 100 lol

Earth Veritas LB spam + 9S TM PHY mitigation skill should completely trivialize physical attacking bosses, but I guess evade builds already do that, although at a very higher cost.

He is a good breaker! He's a great breaker actually. Depending on your units, you don't need to have him breaking on every fight, or handling every break.

Say you're in a trial against something you want ATK or MAG broken. You have Orlandeau, WoL, and 4 Bediles. The trial boss is dangerous! You can have Orlandeau use Crush Weapon while WoL uses Brave Presence/LIWU. The combined reduction to the boss's damage output lets your Bediles live long enough to chain Thundara Blade for the win.

If you had WoL handle the break instead because you want to do MAX DEEPS then maybe the boss wilds out and kills 3/4 Bediles and now how are you supposed to win? That 5% extra ATK/MAG break wasn't worth the loss of three Thundara Blades per turn. RIP.

Hey guys I have been thinking about buying the Zwill Crossblde from King Moogle for my Chizuru. Is it worth it or should I just get her 6 star awakening materials instead?

Is EV or Tim's lb worth maxing? I'm sitting on so many burst pots and no one to spend it on that I might just start spending some. Should I be saving it for any near future unit?

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

We still have time...get both.
If you HAVE to go for one always go for the Event exclusive gear....you can get 6* Awakening material all the time.

DC is definitely worth it. Refia is my best as well. I didn't have Tilith love. But Refia is awesome with DC. That and Aiden's robe is what made her really good for me.

Were you around for FF14 Raid? Y'shtola is good in her own right as well. She replaces Refia when I need it. Though Refia tends to stay my main healer... when I need it.

Timestamp 7:20 Is Eve Raid or Lapis gacha?

* Adam in raid gacha
* Eve is he in raid or in Lapis gacha?
* A2 Rainbow global exclusive = Double Rainbow banner (yeah this was "known").
* B2 Rainbow = Double Rainbow banner (yeah this was "known").

= Do we have 2 Rainbows, 2 Golds, 1 Blue in Lapis gacha? Or is Eve raid summon?
 
Which units are getting Enhancements this month?

Let me guess, still not Ramza?



Also seems they turned Nier into an double gold banner... figures.

So glad I didn't spend on Veritas banner. Now up to (55) tickets and 10,000 lapis. I swear, if I don't get even one 9S...

Make or break for me boys. Shall be quitting exvius if I don't get a 5*... Which looking at the odds means I'll be quitting come Saturday.

I like how they answered that Ramza's enhancement question by basically saying "We will make you suffer and wait ages!"
We will be at the point where everyone in Japan stopped using singer when they'll release it.
Lol?

Reddit seems to say same than I was wondering. We do have double gold banner :(. Good luck for getting 9S x2.

My luck has been absolutely horrible lately.

"Ramza is still taking singing lessons".
-> Fuck the user base more. (I dont have Ramza)

You have burned resources?
I checked and Iam now at 30 tickets, not sure that is enough even for one 9S.

Rates in general seem to have taken a nose dive. I rarely ever pull on banner golds.

I'm expecting to be very upset after spending enough to grant ~80 pulls.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope this banner is where my luck takes a turn. I have 208% worth of Moogles saved just for this too.

That relief when the new trial boss isn't The Bloody Moon.

This enhancement batch is absolute garbage outside of Randi.

I'm going to use EV, in large part because I'm tired of everyone having the same team lol. Plus I like the fact he can 100% provoke and aoe cover, which WoL can't do right now. His gear will just be WoL's gear for me (Lightning Hammer, Shield, Max, Grand Helm, Arsha's, HP)

Marie enhancements just in time for Malboro trial, heck yes!!

Good luck everyone for NieR, we knew it was coming in hot after DV!

So after thinking on what you guys said, I think I'll keep playing, but at a reduced rate, and with a different mind set.

Treat it as a time waster kind of game, and just do my 5 arenas and story, and the events as they come.

Thanks for putting up with my whining and not being dicks about it.

More enhancements and still nobody on my team ��

January 2017 JP Had event where they introduced new units. It was only 1 Rainbow banner. I bet we do have similar banner with 2 Rainbows.

Ayaka - アヤカ ★5-6
Gouken - ゴウケン ★4-6
Sylvia - シルヴィア ★4-6
Kamui - カムイ ★3-5
Yuri - ユリ ★3-5

Also in that banner they had these enhancements:

JP Enhancements Batch 5 said:
Eileen
Randi
Primm
Ruruka (Luka?)
Shine
Fina
Juggler
Thief
Fencer

Instead we get some fucking Marie (batch 4 in JP) and other shit no one cares. GL is doing everything to screw its playerbase to not have nice things :p

Let the Ramza continue do singing lessons. Aileen doesn't know how to wield spear. Agrias just got 6* why should she have enhancements (in JP she got them 2 weeks after 6* release).

Instead we get <Almost cigarettebrand trial> so obviously Marie gets enhancements and is advertised as hey now she is even better againts all this status ailments.

Meanwhile Deep Fryers continue to screw cigarette hard to 2nd hole eventho Fryer is Ice cold bitch and Cigarette likes Firagas.

Obviously Raid gacha will be full of 5* Moogles, like in the previous times we have had moogles in da gacha. Because pull pull pull.

To shit more we do have double Gold banner. Granted that Eve bitch (hey its a girls name) can be ok unit, hopefully her TM is not trash tier. Iam just trying to get 9S for the TM.

Merry Niermas to all, its finally here, let the gacha gods troll all of us hard.

Ugh... Malboro. I'm seriously lacking in Ribbons.

I got 15 Kefkas floating around. Probably can get my second ribbon by Wednesday and a third by Saturday though if I TM farm straight though the next couple of days.

Was Marie actually confirmed to be in the enhancement batch? Because she wasn't in the picture so I assumed no.

FF2 Event done.....died once on the ELT stage because i didnt look up the final stage and was surprised that the self-destruction attack of the bombs killed my whole squad lol.

Thats fine - but what was your team like ?
If you posted more information some members could probably help and advice you on how to beat the stage. Otherwise its a bit difficult. No matter how much you play without the right units or strategy it wont make a difference.

Ah ok that batch isn't as bad then. Marie's enhancements are pretty good. Still would have been nice to have someone decent outside of the 5* bases.

Its not bad, it just feels bad when you compare things with that other game :p.

Wooo, Randi enhancement and there 5 ability too. Good things 2 of them are Tech and Guard.

By the way, why would anyone bother with Auto Charge +2, Randi's LB is some of the worst LB in the game. I don't see any merit on using his LB.
 
Imo, it depends.

If you have all the top tier defense TMs like Patriotic Call, EV is superior because his cover has 10% more chance to proc but at the cost of 20% less mitigation compared with WoL.

Tanks need to survive most of the time. If he dies, he failed at his role.

All my def tm's were spr and hp based lol. All in prep for wol and i just got my first and only rasler.

Why did this stupid banner not give me EV...

My main party for everything other than events is wol, 2 landu, fry, tilith. Im lazy and just use that comp to clear things. Subbing out one landu for rikku, etc when necessary. I could honestly just bring 4 dps for everything non trial related. My wol is basically the shard build. I was comparing spr based on that. You are correct having all your breaks in one basket can be bad. I need to consider that as well.


RIP the dream....... i feel so bad.

JP Nier event had some 4* tickets as raid rewards, wonder if they'll give some 4* tickets on GL too.

Think I still got 15k lapis and 30 tickets, not expecting this to be enough for two 9S on a split gold banner, lol....also still have the 10+1 ticket.
 
Ah shit Randi and Marie enhancements! Will do both of them. Glad for Nier to get it over with so people stop talking about it. Double Rainbow means I'm in for 2-3 9S and out.
