Yea can't WAIT to instantly max the new esper. And hopefully there's a black key chest or two in the story update. Not sure how many are left but I always like getting new stuff from those .

I have over 150% in TM moogles and I really don't know who to use them on.

JP's new trail, Family Bomb, has finally added elemental infusion in their new reward, Bomb Arms, which adds fire element to the unit you equip it with. You get it by killing Mother Bomb (the red one) with an LB.

Would be good with Nyx and Gabranth, but more interestingly they are finally adding abilities that actually add elements to normal attack.

It opens up the possibility of getting future TMs where you can add other elements to the units attack without relying on the weaponry. Elemental imbuement is already in FF Mobius, and the main series have them in the 'En' spells (e.g. Enstone, Enthunder, Enaero, etc.)

As more elemental infusion TMs come out, nonelemental weapons might start finding favor.

Interesting, does it overwrite the weapon/skill element or just stack on top? If it's the latter, this means we now can have 5 elements attached to one attack (infuse+dual wield+dual element skill)

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

I usually want bonus units for these events but I'm just going to do dailies. After Nier and Malboro my mind set for Exvius has drastically changed.

 

[Doctor_No]

My guess would be it stacks on top of it as you suggest. So I would assume suggest, if you had an Excalibur equipped and had Bomb Arms also equipped it would become Light+Fire; dual wield and dual element skills would also I assume stack atop that.

However, given how multiple elements work in this game, proper imperil might get really tricky outside of using a strong all elemental imperil move like Marie's anti-element. Use of non-elemental weapons might become preferable as more of these imbue skills start coming out.

Oh for sure, single-element is almost always the way to go thanks to how imperils work. I'm just chuffed at the idea you might someday have a single character lock all of Gilgamesh's moves at once.

 

[Muku]

Will be doing dailies maybe up to a point on this FFIII banner. Will see how it goes. Right now only interested in 6* mats, the heavy armor, heavy helm, and tickets. Gimme dem tickets. Otherwise I'm not seeing much to get excited about.

They would have had me pull hard on this banner if it had come before Nier. I got lucky on Nier trying to get fucking 9S. -_-; OK will still be in pool so don't feel it required to spam for him now. 2B is like I got this.

 

[witchedwiz]

They did resent community rewads. I stil lsee the unclaimable 100m moogles rewards too

nope, 2 friends of mine claimed the rewards twice literally..
they got the whole package two times, including moogles..
and i've seen other on reddit reporting the same..
;_;

on a side note, i think i'll do 10 pulls top hopefully getting enough bonus units and that's that..
nier has burned me hard, i'll stash resources till the 3% upgrade... not gonna lie, spending that amount of resources and getting no nier nat 5* felt like a kick in the nuts...

 

[PantherLotus]

In the entire NRG cost of refreshes vs. daily summons discussion, let me only add the value of refreshes in the context of already having most of the TMs you immediately need.

shorter: a vet with 150+ -ish NRG has a great chance of already having the great bulk of necessary or even unnecessary-but-fun TMs.

meaning i get the argument but i question the basis. if you have that much ability to be thinking about the cost of a pull vs. the extra NRG, you probably aren't hurting for TMs.

 

[facepalm007]

Definitely in the same mindset as jasminlovesyoux and Muku, probably stick with the dailies and hopefully get the bonus units.

For me it's all about replenishing my stock pile of tickets and Lapis for Ayaka and Mistair.

 

[robotuw]

Inspired by Across's reminder, I decided to do some napkin math to see how many pulls are going to be worth it for me.

I'm going to assume I can always bring an OK friend. Maybe that's wrong considering how down on this banner people are but I've seen how strong y'all's resolve is

Spoiler

(it's not very strong)

I want the tickets (28k), sc(5.7k)), awakening mats(160*30*5=24k), and equipment. We'll assume the equipment is 15k. That's ~72k total currency to get.

With no bonus except the friend, and ignoring daily rewards and rare enemies, that's ~800 currency per 25 NRG. 72k currency will be done in 91 runs or about 7.5 days.

If I spend the same NRG, an additional 50% bonus unit adds 18k currency, though I'm much more likely to just finish sooner. In that case, with a 250% bonus I'm getting done in 73 runs or 6 days. The difference is 450 NRG. That means I have to get a Sara in 1 pull to just go above even, compared to 3 NRG refreshes. Even that's a stretch since I could just do the whole thing in 7.5 days for free. So one daily and maybe a ticket because f' it. Anything after that is actually a waste even if I get a bonus unit.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Saving or skipping banners is kinda difficult if you dont own a 5* chainer....lol.
If i pulled just one i could be more restrictive with my pulls...but without one ? If i had pulled at least two 9S copies.

I like your napkin math.

In the past I've always tried to get everything I could out of these types of events, but we've been lucky in the last couple to start with bonus units day 1. Now I'm pretty much just looking at the bare necessities. No cryts. Would still like to shoot for the trust moogle though. I'm so tired of tm farming. Anything to speed that along the better. I'm jealous of people who got to claim that celebration reward twice for the extra 5% moogle! I desperately wanted to claim the 100000001 moogles last night. Could you guys imagine???

Would have been awesome, outside of the fact you wouldn't be able to do anything in the game until you got the units down to what your capacity is lol. That would have taken....quite some time.

Lmao I thought about that too. I would've stayed up all night, maxing every single unit I had to 100%. Maybe even pulling on random banners just to max more units. Then frantically selling the remaining moogles for hours and hours before Gumi could adjust any trace of my sneaky deeds!

Since you like napkin math. Assuming it takes 15 seconds to fuse 5 moogles onto somebody, it would take 9 and a half years to fuse 100000001 moogles. Even if you gave up and decided to sell them 100 at a time every 10 seconds it would still take 116 days.

[Visceir]

TDH works with pretty much any unit.

Guess if they decide to restrict using multiple DH materias in GL Cloud would probably become the top tier candidate for it (since he already has 100% innate)

Only other unit that has 100% innate would be Aranea.

 

[Shouta]

Is Cloud the best DH unit in the game? I want to eventually make use of that TM

Pretty much everyone that can do DH out damages him, unfortunately. He has few problems. His best in slot does not afford him any elemental damage bonuses because of 2H weapons are all elemental-less and he doesn't have imbues. Outside of his LB, his mods are very modest at best with his best damage one being 550%. His LB is very strong, 2100% at max level, but takes 30 crystals to get. It's also multi-hit and difficult to chain.

The good part is that there's hope. It looks like imbues are being a bit more common what with the bomb accessory from the next event being a thing. He also has enhancements to look forward to eventually as well. Then there's new TMRs that come out that potentially give him more room to do things.

Instead of saving lapis for ok i daily pulled for wind veritas to improve my aileen. Better work on already obtained units with better ods right?

I hate this game...

Used 3 more tickets and got 10% on use spear and equip heavy shield.

 

[Alkez]

For people who have played other mobile/gacha games, how often have you found other games do in game currency deals? BE is my first gacha game and am wondering if what we get in GL with the occasional bundle is normal.

@Dandte damn. You can't make this stuff up sometimes I swear. At least you can chain with yourself now...

Honestly, unless that's your 4th or 5th Aileen I'd never call that a troll rainbow. A troll rainbow is the 3rd lightning I just got the other day from pulling a daily.

Also, I'm still aileenless

I've only played a handful but I don't recall any of them having many special bundles like the ones in Exvius. I don't remember fire emblem heroes, for example, ever having something extra to purchase. What they all have in common however, is that when you buy in game currency in bulk you always get extra of that currency thrown in. They definitely want you to purchase the most expensive bundles.

[tuffymon]

Man, I've really been enjoying life with no Mog King event. I'll pick up the helmet and armor (it's heavy right?) That'll be our 2nd piece of heavy armor EVER with ATK on it.

The news post stated it's a light armor... go figure right?

Depends on the game. Valkyrie Connect, for instance, always has bundles on where you get upgrade items + stamina refill + currency, but they expect you to roll a lot and don't provide a lot of "free" currency in-game. I think Marvel Future Fight had a lot of ongoing bundles too.

The news post stated it's a light armor... go figure right?

what? ah dammit. That was one of my highlights of the event to make use of my Sworn Six - Dark materia. Nuts.

 

[robotuw]

Yeah this game is starved for heavy armor with atk. Demon Mail is the only option right now and will be the only option until the Iron Giant Trial I think.

Going through all these story missions is actually pretty tiring, but I want to get as much done as I can while they're half stamina.

Up to 22k lapis now, and I'm aiming for at least 30k to put into Sephiroth.

 

[Syntsui]

I have 30k lapis on JP right now, if Sephirot or the other chick aren't game changing top tier meta defining characters I guess I'll stick to dailies and tickets. The anniversary is in two months I think and there will definetely be a bunch of guaranteed 5* banners there.

Thanks! Finally, after 2 f'ing years. I get a top class buffer. Took way too long. lol

I have 15k and 40 tickets on JPN. Only up to Dirnado in story and I just can't do it anymore. Not being able to read it is frustrating me so if that's not enough to get Sephy then so be it.

Who's the luckiest F2P ITT? I'm just curious of GafLuck.

I got Ramza Soon™ before I went on hiatus for a few months and somehow got Orlandeau and Luneth randomly on pulls this past couple wks.

So who's got all the best top tier units Free to Play? I'd consider anything below $5 F2P (I spent $0 but still)
