Okay last question. Start with A2 and not much else or Gilgamesh/Meliadoul/warrior of light/9s? Seems A2 is best unit but other account has more useful dudes.

Go with A2.

It will take so long you get something out of Gilgamesh.
Also A2 is only pullable for one week and few days. Gilgamesh is always in gacha. Trust me, you will pull good shit and A2 will carry you. Greg is only for his TM (no enhancements yet).

Think I'll share support/healer unit since nobody use Noctis anymore.
Hopefully his buff will come soon enough.

Edit : can get Fohlen to 910 ATK, almost Noctis level and he can chain a bit so I'll put that for now.

So I think I've begun the process of re-activating my FFBE account through Gumi.

How do I determine the account creation date?

Hmm true but I also figured the other account had 9s. Guessing A2 is most useful going forward? Thanks!

Can someone please share a BiS DKC with machine killer?

I suppose there aren't many that awakened him.

I don't have a BiS (only around 630 atk), no machine killer. But on the second turn as finisher with 2 Orlandeau, he hits for around 1.4 million on the raid.
 
Just finished 2B TM...nice to finally have a new top Katana!

50% for my first 9S. Really think I will just refresh more than I am. I want to maintain my rank and get as many of these TMs for each as I can. I imagine I won't be getting A2 all things considered. My daily was a 3rd Rasler, which should be good for TM farming.

Hi everyone. Been playing this game for a while but only recently was able to post. Tried the 2B glitch with a Galaxy S3 and a friend 2B and it worked. Somehow managed to get my own 2B but her level is only in the 30's. Slapped DW on her and that worked too. Have her up as leader now. Friend code is 423 278 550.

Can you check from Google account when have you installed FFBE?
Obviously that can be different acco than the one you started but atleast its something.

Also I do have you on friendlist (Last played 41 days) / Rank 91, cause I did remember you had problems with your account.

I don't see the option to check original install date (I switched devices a few months back). I'll just enter the global release date, since I think I've been playing from day 1.

Is my account name Takuan?

Got a rainbow this morning. Let it sit for a solid 15 minutes, hoping it was finally a 2B. Eventually clicked it and got Orlandu #2. I mean...now I have 2 Dark Veritas and 2 Orlandu, I can probably chain down most things. But...like...fuck.

Nice. I'm in the same boat. Getting TMs this way is so much better than earth shrine bull shit. Another perk I didn't realize, is that all my 15% HPs are being replaced with 20%hp(Adam) and even a couple 30%s(Eve). So upgrades for everyone all around.

That's a pretty damn potent 1 turn raid farming party.

Decided I wanted either a 2nd 2B or A2 didn't care which one. Did 2 Multi's. First one was shit with 2 Eve. 2nd one.

http://imgur.com/FHCWZVe

So 22 Multi pulls and a 5* ticket - 2 Orlandu, 1 Noctis, 1 Dark Fina, 1 Ace, 1 Seabreeze Fina, 1 2B, 2 A2.

Not. Bad.

Nice, the whole set. When I pulled some more yesterday I got a 3rd 2b. No A2 :( I'm gonna keep doing dailies till the end but it doesn't look like I'll ever have her.

A2 is a mega powerhouse, and with just levels, should easily carry you for a large portion of the story before gear etc becomes any issues, 9s however is still in the pool for another week, and while tough to pull... still easier than a split rainbow (some may argue that >.> )

Is Noctis bad?

Not in the slightest, hes a pretty damn good support, jack of all trades, master of however you gear him~ need an ok breaker? need a tank? equip for dps? pure support? hes pretty awesome in everything... just not a great chainer (normally)

Contact your employer and tell them to unflag my account plz lol. Congrats.

On another note, for the gaf crew, I need to thank you for talking me off that ledge last night. Shit was brutal and I did almost delete the app but the kind words were the voice of reason. I'll do daily pulls until the last day and we'll see what happens.

Man you miss a little you miss a lot. Alright, super long response time because Chrono ain't here to do this (miss that guy, hope he's doing well):

After watching the new DuckTales a second time and dinner done.. try to do this Aigaion shit for real now.

Damn it Muku, as soon as I saw the word Ducktales I stated singing the song, which is now going to be stuck in my head all day haha. I'm seeing Annabelle 2 tonight. Should be fun with that song playing on loop in my head lol.

$350 spent, not a single rainbow. I'm done. Contemplating deleting the app to free myself from this.

Wait, what? Bro what happened? You were staying strong this feels like it's straight out of left field. So sorry man. Please don't be giving Hippo no more money. This guy already has all the rainbows lool.

I'm sorry for posting my pull. I'll keep to myself from now on.

Lol! Don't take it to heart. I was salty too when I saw the pic, but that's just because we were envious as we all got nonsense. We're happy for all of gafs success, it just sucks when people are getting mad luck while we're over here getting Sabin and Galuf.

Don't stop posting though. Whenever you get stuff post it, just make sure you keep posting other stuff too and become a regular. No one really likes drive-bys (I only say this because I haven't seen you round here before but obviously I don't catch every post).

Well, I do. Dealing with my grandmother's death, being bored at home, then getting a voucher from a business trip AND her life insurance proceeds was the reason. I wasn't hurting for money. It was a windfall. I spent the windfall on this.

Ah sorry for your loss man. I hope this game, as trash as it is sometimes, and this community are providing some comfort during this time.

I've rerolled so many times. Conclusion: rates in this game are atrocious.

Yuuupp. Welcome (back) to Brave Exvius. The game mechanics are really good imo but the gacha is horrid. I mean all gacha is horrid but the rates are so bad, especially when you compare it to something like FE Heroes (which I've seen you in their thread). Obviously that game has IVs which in themselves are their own nonsense but at least you can get the units you want.

they should fix the damn app performance issues before shitting on everyones exploit parade

Exactly my sentiments.

*Sigh* Gumi is happy to squash our 2B spear fun but doesn't even mention the issues with A2. Either I'm crazy or they didn't announce maintenance, which means there may still be more announcements and a proper event+banner coming this week.

Ariana event seems fine, I hope it gives out some good lapis and doesn't take too long to complete. I'm also enjoying the image of sweet little Ariana beating people to death with a mic stand.

As much of a fight as I put up to level Rikku, it was worth it in the end. Dear god, what a hax character she is. LOL.

WoL, 2B, Rikku, Maxwell (ended up staying as my punching bag), and Orlandu. Guest Robo's Lunera (what a badass).

Took him in a few turns total. Built up really quick on Esper gauge this time for some reason. Got the Moogle because in it all I was able to build it up in time right before WoL was going to need some assistance. So it came in handy for the time and Trust Moogle. Stock piled her with HP stuff to get her over 6k HP just in case.

I walk away a happy camper. Thank you so much Robo! Husband is now wishing he could do it. I told him he could use my iPad in mean time to do it. Especially while your Lunera is up. Totally worth it.

Yaaay! Congrats Muku! I knew you'd get it eventually. I didn't want to dictate where your cactuars go but with your team dying Rikku was the right choice. Girl is a freaking savant at keeping people alive. I'm not sure if I'm friends with your hubby but I'm happy to keep Lunera up for a while, and if he needs a friend request let me know.

Very nice! Gratz! I did a few more multis hoping for a 2B. No luck.

Hopefully they'll fix A2's OHC much like they fixed Fry's Frost Flower Blitz; which was borked and unchainable the first week. But regardless, Dash Attack still chains and it opens up two more powerful moves, so in many situations, it may be the better route either way.

I've been thinking about her setup two of her, she really might be better suited to be built tanky instead of dps. Her stats are almost tank-like, she can hit over 12k+ HP with over 600 Defense with her sword and patriotic recalls, she would also go well with Reactive Defense, and Mechanical Heart). ~900ATK with over 10k HP is feasible, and she'll get an extra +467 ATK with her maxed LB; meaning she'll still have over 1,400ATK most of the battle.

Add to that, her OHC which fully heals her, her physical and magic evade, her counter, and her built-in death-avoidance, she's great tanky unit. If her OHC would chain she would be the perfect unit for long battles.

Which enhancements are the best right now? I haven't touched a single upgrade yet because I want to use resources efficiently.

I would rather prioritize support/counter-trial stuff over pure DPS.

I'm thinking that Marie might be my first.

I could also do Luneth, but he's not really trial team ready anymore.

To those with 2B set as friend unit, could you please keep them up today? Won't be able to test glitch until I get home from work today, which is still like 7 hours away.

Thanks!

I planned on keeping my 2B up as long as this thing was going on. I see they've put a damper on the fun parade. (While errors are still running wild.) But I'm keeping up my 444 ATK 2B up until sometime after maint. After that point I'll gear her up with Aigaion's Fist and Mastery. Will definitely keep her up, just better geared, for event to help with killing Engels.

Thank you! :D Third time was the charm. After the second one went bat shit insane at start, it was a little disheartening. Especially when first one went much smoother. Figured Rikku might be that link. (Still have a plethora of King Cactaur left after leveling her from 17 ... which she got from merging the ton of RIkku pulling for Tidus ... with an Amazing and a Great Success to help out.) I feel like it was worth the investment. Mega Phoenix is hax as shit. And means I don't have to worry about her later. (And now is off my casual list of having to level her.)

I kind of had a fight with myself in beginning. I decided first round to Pewpew with Maxwell. But I thought maybe I should put self rez on. In reality, I should have, but with Rikku to make up for my dumb call in beginning, it didn't matter. Rikku told me to hold her beer while she fixed my mistake. Repeatedly.

I am not sure what his set up is going to need. To be honest. He doesn't have a 2B, so he'd have to bring that as a friend. In which case he wouldn't be able to bring Lunera. But after maint fixing mention of 2B (I like to call this a feature TBH, hahhaa) he's seriously thinking of it. But I dunno how he will tackle it... I told him if need be he can use my iPad though. Since we both have our accounts attached to FB profiles won't be a bother.
 
Wait, what? Bro what happened? You were staying strong this feels like it's straight out of left field. So sorry man. Please don't be giving Hippo no more money. This guy already has all the rainbows lool.

I really want 2B. Went and dipped in a pot that I shouldn't have and it got me nothing so it's back to dailies. With my second kid on the way the whaling is officially over.

This next batch is looking solid all around but there are a bunch of great enhnacements

I haven't enhanced anyone either but I'm eyeing Marie pretty hard myself. Thing is, even if she's godly for the Malboro trial, I'm assuming someone's friend unit will be her all decked out. So, I'm hesitant to even upgrade my own :p

Luneth does have some strong enhancments if you lack a finisher btw.

Glad you stayed aboard!

A long time ago, back when Warrior of Light first came out, I actually deleted the game for over a week because it took over $200 to get that 4* unit (which I know have like a billion of). Looking back, maybe I should have quit, but this core game is still enjoyable, and I'm assuming you already have enough good units to beat most content even if you decide to go F2P.

I'm planning on slowing down as well, Ayaka and TMs, until 3% rainbows hits.

*Sigh* Gumi is happy to squash our 2B spear fun but doesn't even mention the issues with A2. Either I'm crazy or they didn't announce maintenance, which means there may still be more announcements and a proper event+banner coming this week.

I wish there was some clarity on this. But I believe that her OHC is probably bugged (much like so many other moves in this banner). This is seriously a buggy banner.

If you look at that Facebook promotional video, her animation for OHC is completely different. She does a back flip, right now, A2 uses the same animation as Dash Attack. So something is definitely amiss with that move.

Olive is my finisher. Orlandu and/or Fry and Friendvia are chainers. Tilith heals, WoL tanks, Rikku supports. Marie it's elemental.

I guess it's Marie's time to shine.

A2 having high def and hp is a bonus.

But I don't think it's a good idea to build her as a hybrid dps/tank unit. Specialists will always be better than hybrids. Look at Noctis for example. He can tank, support, buff, revive and deal damage, but he's out of job because he doesn't specialize in any of the roles he's able to do.

Let the supports and tanks handle the survival of each party members and let A2 wreak havoc.

No offense, but hopefully your resolve against whaling gets better since it's really kinda weak.

I think Marie should be the priority.

Randi's enhancement is great, but it depends on what finisher you currently have. I was dead set on enhancing Randi, but after getting Fire Veritas, I'm having second thoughts. I'd still most likely enhance him anyway.

Support Noctis has been a key player on my team.

I don't think there is any disagreement with the fact that there are much better units for each role that Noctis can play. He definetely doesn't have space in any ''best possible team'' if we pretend we have every unit in the game available and try any of the available content.

Well he proved invaluable on my Robot trial run so I wouldnt call him irrelevant in any sense of the word

Its all about team composition so whatever worked for you will be what you base your statements on

How important is a tank in future trials? I've only got Cecil and Snow right now. I don't have WoL or EV and I blew my stash chasing 9s.

Well they provide AoE coverage and absorb a lot of damage

But its only physical so the other option is to have really strong mitigation and buffs

Youll have options to think about with that in mind but its hard to beat having a solid AoE tank

Then again I have yet to NEED them yet.

Invaluable. There will always be specific team compositions where you can cheese or exploit the trial bosses, but if you don't have those specific units, don't even bother trying anything without a tank appropriately equipped.
 
Noctis is my go to for arena , evade build, inflict status effects, or stop.

Hes also my main stay for story questing, has fire, ice and lightning for requirements. Kills waves of enemies easily or status effects tough bosses for easy wins.

He's just outclassed by other breakers now which is why I haven't used him for any trials, tough events or raids in awhile. I'm sure when the ff15 banner rolls around is when Gumi will buff him.
