I'm thinking of taking on Aigaion and I'm wondering who would be the best healer to take for this and how do I use Ling as a mana battery? Last time I tried to use her as a battery, she kept running out of MP.

I'm thinking my group will be:

WoL
A2
Rikku
Ling
(some healer)
Friend Unit: Wife's 2B

Gotta figure out this healer business, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have Tilith (but not sure I have the gear to get her massive amounts of MP), Y'shtola, Refia, Rem.

Noob question on trust master moogles. Is it safe to have all of the ones I have saved up on 2B? The materia willlevel it up somewhat sooner right?

No, don't use any for now... not sure how well you'll do on the raid, but we still have a LOT of time left on it. IF you don't finish AFTER the raid is gone, sure knock it out. Doing it early, will just make you kick yourself for every single extra you get after completing it.
 
I'd love to borrow someone's 2B to get through that trial before maint.

I can't see myself clearing it any other way atm. No Tilith or the little item merchant guy to heal without magic.

Ah so that's what people were complaining about when it came to raid points. I can do the advanced difficulty easily, but get dumpstered on pro. Thanks for the info!

Two Luneras at the arena is pure bliss, wow. I'm not even mad about pulling her anymore.

Double Luneras are the best thing ever!

So fun, and you never have to worry about stupid 100% evading units, counters, or not black magic weeks, or no dual casting weekly restrictions, etc.

Every week, fast and quick, you only need to worry about 100% alll elemental resistance units.

So uh what happens when we get a unit with 100% magic evasion... we're like almost halfway there >.>;

PHY evasion will be countered with the new weapons that have innate accuracy and MAG evasion won't really be a thing unless Gumi invent some exclusive stuff for us. PHY and MAG mitigation will be a thing though, but the AI won't ever be able to coordinate all the necessary skills to make it a problem.

What you really should be afraid in the future is freaking CG Fina spamming that disgraceful LB every fucking turn. DV is already a problem with his 4x AoE attacks but it seems people really don't care about using him here, I lost count how many times I lost on JP to CG Fina + DV teams.

I'm currently running a 2B. Attack is mostly low, but if you need it lower, let me know. What is your #? I'll add you so you can use her.

It worked!

All rewards obtained from Aigaion.

Congrats!! :D

Edit: Andvary got your PM. It's taken care of. :3

Was it about your 2B using a light damage weapon because I was just about to mention it. :) Probably should have double checked before going in but I had everything set up, was going in for the kill and was wondering why I did no damage.

No. But I don't recall her wielding any elemental weapon.... Let me check. Either way, Spear still works when it goes off for the WTF kill. Been using her this afternoon for Raid with no issues. (And whatever she has on now, she wore during Aigaion too.)

Okay.. I don't remember giving her Rune Blade. x_x Changed to Sleep Sword now though. Either way, the hax kill Spear worked with it on. Though changed now to at least do damage. :) I've just been spearing, so haven't paid attention to damage. XD



Not sure what deal is since emergency maint. I absolutely cannot have both GL and JP open anymore without GL taking a "Please log-in" dump on me. I like to swap between and burn NRG and do events, but now I have to literally only have GL open by itself these days. What did you do, Gumi? It's shit. umadbro? That I play JP? They treat us better there, that's for sure. -_-;

Didn't know that the bug damage override resistance. Must have been unlucky that attempt then and was just doing 1 damage. I didn't see any number pop up so I just assumed everything was resisted.

What all information do they need from you?

I'd like to know so I can be prepared in case my Facebook ever gets deactivated >.>

Yes please. x_x That information would be good to have.

Also... I may have just deleted you last night Tak. I deleted all the folks that have been MIA for 100+ days. Ahh.

It was a PAIN IN MY ASS to get to this stage. Gumi insists on having an e-mail from Facebook confirming the account can't be re-activated before they offer to do this. It doesn't matter how much money you spent, they must have that e-mail from Facebook.

Problem is, Facebook has no direct customer service; all you can do is submit an appeal to them and wait with your thumb up your bum. I sent three goddamned appeals and heard nothing from them until today*.

If anyone wants a 972 ATK Orlandeau, feel free to hit me up (822,440,577). Understandably, my friends list is pretty bare now.

*Officially, FB got back to me. At the end of the day, I provided to Gumi what they had asked for, and everyone's happy - why split hairs over technicalities? Fugeddaboutit!

Welcome back officially! :D (Tried to add you and says we're already friends! I guess I didn't delete you after all last night. LOL. Some others weren't so lucky.)

Also, that is a real pain in the ass. I don't remember shit like my rank. Are they serious?

Edit: Should note best one is last log in date. I'd be like bitches, I dunno. I quit some time back wtf.

The one that threw me off was date account created. I don't think that's tracked anywhere, and if I didn't know I started on launch I don't know how I would've answered that. The rest of the info I got from friends and helpful gaffers (thanks Rixa).

Doing 10 pulls, and getting 7 god damn timothys.
I logged into an alt account just to pull. I must have pulled 10 of those guys, cripes.

Woo! Just got my first patriotic recall. The second should be coming tomorrow and two more about a week and a half after that. I'll probably get an Eve TM tomorrow too if the moogles are kind. My team is gonna be nice and beefy when the next trial comes out.

Another unit comparison: Zyrus or Refia? I've got Zyrus to lvl 40 as 4 star and he doesn't seem that useful, where I've seen good things of Refia online.

They are apples and oranges. Refia is a fantastic healer if you don't have Tilith or Yshtola. Zyrus is a decent mage that focuses on single-target damage. Do you already have a healer better than Refia? Then ignore her. If not, Refia first.

I would say this highly depends on what you need. Zyrus Is a solid bloodmage but is outshined by victoria.

Refia is still a solid whitemage but only shines when equipping her a dualcast materia (from ludmille).

Thanks a ton for the advice. I have Meliadhoul/Soliel as my other support units, would they be better to level up instead of those two?

GODDAMNIT GIMU!!!
all these Veritas Banner and Nier Banner are FREAKING TRAP!!

just take a look at this

cw_sasuke

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Units are solid even though most longtime players likely own them already and will continue spending on Nier/Veritas.

Looking at the gear...i dont really think i need any of this for my main since i dont have Top Tier mages. On my alt with Dark Fina that would be quite the gear...doubt i can clear it though so...lol.

I never realised Veritas of the Earth's 2-turn provoke move is a damaging move as well. Single hit, 2.7 multiplier. If he gets the JP enhancement of 100% def in place of attack this will be quite a nice chain ender.

Another skipable banner, always appreciated Gumi. Need to save those tickets for Veritas Banner #2.

solid?
uhm..
soleil is worth it ONLY if you enhance her, which is quite a committment..
wol is good, but nothing to go hard on the banner by himself..
trance terra is good but.. she's a mage, in a melee dominated meta...
really i doubt anyone would roll on this one..

I said the units are solid...not that anyone should spend all their Lapis or Tickets on it if they dont need any of the units.

Im f2p so i wont bother pulling on this banner but this doesnt mean that the units featured are trash either. Im happy that i can save up a bit after Veritas/Nier so im okay with a catch up banner for ppl. who can use the units.

I know many people play this game and only care about the Top Tier units...but not everyone afford a setup of only top tier units. Hell im leveling Ilias right now and he is only a good/solid unit but his skillset is interesting to me.

PS. I hope this trial isnt another +4h marathon.

Oh no, WoL is finally on a banner but I just got EV and everything else on the banner is a stinker. Sucks but I'll probably have to skip it given how hard it is to get the right 4* unit when there's 2 on the banner. Please just show up randomly already WoL!

EV is arguably better than WoL right now, so you're not losing much.

urgh, i currently already have all the character in the banner.
But i still want to pull in case (let me hope) i got A2 or 2B, but with TT the one being featured, it is not even a good idea anymore.

That being said, Gumi i hope i can trust you on this one, that my TT is Marlboro Killer.
 

bonkeng

This is a really stupid banner. How they figured TTerra and WoL as Malboro Killer is beyond me as both doesn't have Plant Killer. Soleil and CoD might be useful since both have Esunaga skills (Soleil from her materia). Kefka maybe due to his Ribbon. If anything, they should've featured Firion as he's the real killer here.
