Final Fantasy Brave Exvius |OT5| Our Golden Anniversary Brings Us Hope

Fuck this trial. Done wasting energy. All known strats i have attempted have failed due to rng fucking me over. 600 energy wasted. Over it.

Just curious but what part of the fight is killing it for you? I only tried it once, had my Rikku "eaten" and haven't returned. I'm wondering if that's the RNG part that sucks.

We've been rightfully complaining about moogle rates on the raid summon but I will say the cactuar rates have been...ok. Not as good as titan back then but with that and the free xp from killing Engles I've gotten 4 chars maxed (A2, 2B, Zarg, 9S) and two more from 4* to 6* (EV and Ashe). Not bad at all.

It's only bad if you play JP and know how much better it is there. Nier is as good as it could possibly be for us and one day our raids will be upgraded with better rates for the good stuff.

Omg... pull rates, please kill me >.>; dropped 100k coins and received...

5 beastlords
3 pod 153
2 resentment
3 mechanical heart
10 virtuous contracts
23 vengeful wraths

I'm at 6.2 million points and still have yet to finish 1 9s... rng gonna rng in the weirdest ways >.>;

Rikku getting targeted immediately after being auto rezzed and dying again and not being able to generate enough lb for the second rikku due to rng being rng. Rikku getting eaten, not being able to kill the lil bros at 10% and them exploding and causing wipes. Basically all that can go wrong goes wrong.

On another note used my last 5* ticket in hopes for A2 or another 2B. Got Marie. I'm ok with that. No materials to awaken her from 5-6 though :-(
Anyone have a BIS support setup for her?

Boy, I'm demolishing these 3* espers now that I have proper elemental equipments on JP. They are not even a challenge lmao.

Edit: Fuck, it's not possible to get all killer passives+ and the esper stats+ for Ifrit :(

44 tickets on alt. Was hoping for something good on banner. I'm needing to replace Delita for my pewpew group. In alphabetical order (though 3 of the 210's were right off the bat):

x14 210's
x01 Alma
x01 Amelia
x01 Bartz
x01 Edge
x01 Eight
x01 Elle
x01 Eve
x01 Exdeath
x01 Firion
x01 Garnet
x01 Gau
x01 Hope
x01 Jack
x01 Kain
x01 Kefka
x01 Rakshasa
x01 Rasler (*New)
x01 Rydia
x01 Setzer
x01 Shadow
x01 Tellah
x01 Terra
x01 Trey

Missing another couple or so. But they were crap. Was willing to spend what little Lapis I had too. 40th ticket though came down a Rainbow. A2. WHELP! Time to say bye Delita. You'll be around if I need you but I have a physical queen for my group now. (My magical queen is TT.)

Damn, so even double Rikku is a bitch huh?

Grats on the Marie.
 
So I did a final hurrah on the banner since I got a fatter paycheck than usual this pay period, and went in hard for A2.

Ended up with 2 Dark Fina, and 2 2B bringing me up to 3(!!!)2B.

Is there ever going to be a reason to need 3 of them on a team?

I'm spending all my energy right now on TMR farming. I guess I should start refreshing my nrg so I can farm more. Right now I'm letting it run out and then letting it regenerate naturally.

I want to get into this game real bad. I've said it before, but I love the combat mechanics and the fact that despite the general gatcha bullshit, it feels like a solid RPG. (Plus I mean, I grew up on dumb FF garbage so its near and dear to my heart.)

I don't think I'll end up buying as much as I did for Nier again though, unless they rerun it. I'm in general agreeance with the feeling that Gumi is diluting the pool and keeping the rainbow % down as long as they can before people actually get upset.

I'm running Warrior of Light, 2B, 2B, Riku and Yshtola. I replaced Orlandeau because it's going to take me forever to get ahold of a dual-wield tmr (Zidane is at 59%ish and that's after a month and a half) so it's easier for me to power up another 2B.

I'm thinking of dropping Warrior of Light for Earth Veritas and possibly Riku for 9S.

Wow, congrats! Still a good haul.

I dunno if there'd ever be a time you need 3, but I'd keep them around in mean time to nab that sweet katana.

That's what I figured -- she'd be at least a solid trust farm unit.

I cheesed Aigion, but did it at the 11th hour and didn't have time to nab the fist mastery or the rest of his rewards outside of the weapon, so my next goal is building up a team to do that with. And running Beasts of the Dark for that Ifrit Claw.

Need some way to level units up though. Hoping for another mog king event after this new Veritas story.

Got impatient waiting for 1 more 9S TMR Moogle and just used a 5% Moogle. Found a friend with Pod 153 and just beat the Malboro trial. Used the Double Rikku Setzer chaining strat. It wasn't that bad at all, took like 30 minutes. Waay better than the 4 hours it took me to beat Aigaion. I felt that RNG was on my side though. Setzer's dice had good rolls and he never ate Rikku.

This is probably less than what you guys usually spend, but I've spent over 15,000 lapis, 50 Tickets, 3 4* guarantee tickets and only have one 9S to show for from the banner ranked 4* or higher. How much did you guys spend before you got a 2B or A2 or gave up chasing?

I haven't spent this much on a banner before. As much as I would like to get at least one of them before the banner ends, I may just call it soon. Are there any notable characters that are due up soon for GL?

Decided to start moogling Leon...don't judge me. Maybe i should have waited to see if i somehow get wind veritas but neh. I want my 1000+ Tidus.

Edit: Regarding the post above me

In total 4 Multis, around 100 tickets, dailys everyday, 4 4*iirc and have 2 9s, no waifus and 6 husbandos (as some would say).

But i got a enough terras to get her from 13% to 125% thats something i guess. Also got my first victoria which is nice.

Spent 30k lapis and 75 tickets and got 2B (only rainbow on my pulls) on my last 10+1 pull.

Not going to sugar coat this, one of them can be your next pull, one of them could be your five hundredth. Anything can happen, but you need to set your own limit right now. I was lucky with a 2b pretty much right away. Then unlucky with A2 hundreds of dollars later. I'd honestly say stop now, don't give these guys anymore money. It's not worth it.

Used up another ticket and a 4* ticket, ended up with a Earth Veritas (2nd) and Beach Time Fina (is she any good? I have like 3 of her now). It's like the game is taunting me. 2 golds and not even a 9S.

Why not run Enchanted Maze for now? Has the rare LB pot, money turtles, and Cactaur.

At this point i just wanna finish my first Mechnical Heart an be done with the Shit Engel farming....crazy how few Moogle drops i get right now.

What unit do you use Leons TM on ?
Between Large Sword and Blade Mastery i wonder which unit would benefit from his TM more.

You're right, I might just do one more 10+1 and stop. A lot of people on my friend's list has one or the other so it's not like I need them.

I will say I wish I had a way to tm farm, my party strength would be so much better with all the tmr's I could farm for. Need to look at getting a pc again I suppose.

If you're on iOS you can use switch controls. They aren't as good as a full emulator but they work ok. Someone posted a guide to setting them up a few pages back.

Looking at some more JP reactions to Reberta, it seems most see her as quite strong and she has multiple builds to do what you want with her. You can go straight magic build using rods and all that jazz. You can also do a physical build with True Doublehand to achieve the same goal. Then there's her Magic Knight build using Kunshira's TMRs to raise both of Reberta's stats.

Pretty sick but she's definitely a character meant for long-time users or whales that have a lot of powerful TMRs to equip her.

I spent about 90 tickets (three 4* tickets) and zero lapis (not even dailies). I got A2, 2B, Lunera, and four 9S. My results was ridiculous high rolling and should be taken as an extreme rarity.

6 multis for my first A2.

9 multis for first 9S.

26 multis for first 2B (along with a 2nd and 3rd A2).

Edit: lol at the top 7 raid rank.

Daily 21O, I said:

Fuck Eve

Relogged, did multi in desperate search for 2nd 9S.
The moment I saw glimpse of Rainbow just before Rasler (Fuck yeah) popped up.

Screenshot_20170823-111214.png

Victoria, Rasler (my first), 9S (2nd), 2B. What an amazing pull \o/

Fuck Eve
 
rixa, you lucked out son?
i know that if i get no 2b and a2 i will miss them as a nier automata fan...
but i cannot justify spending yet more on this banner..
too much salt atm :X

Grats on the great draw. I still need a 2nd 9S myself but with these odds so far I doubt I'll get another without whaling a bit.

Thanks.
Indeed I did.

About 100 pulls all in all, maybe lil less. As I had around 40 tix when banner started and I did 3 paid multis and 1 freebie + tickets what we got during raid.

3 Rainbows from Nier banner:
* Dark Veritas
* Luneth,
* 2B
* 2 9S
* 1 Eve

Now starts the saving for my healer. I might use lapis for raid.

Man F this game....lol...another troll Gold as a daily....Rosa.
Just cant believe how many Golds i pulled during this Nier banner but only one of the was a featured unit.....so devastating. Especially as a f2p without a 5* Chainer i really could have used some luck for that 2nd 9S. Welp..

@Rixa

Nice congrats....always good when you get rewarded for going in on that 10+1 pulls.

Between the two of us, the wife and I did around 300 summons. Our only rainbow was her useless Luneth, but at least we both got a couple 9S. We don't spend money, so that's just whatever we had for free.

Noctis it does everything.
