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

Between endless horrendous pulls for 4 months and kinda hitting of a wall in terms of the grind and not really enjoying the events and story trials getting bonkers at the very end and not even caring about the arena or the story or exhibitions and new trials basically being off limits for my roster...

I think I'm done. I've had this post half written for days and I don't even want to publish it because this dang community is so special.

I'll probably be logging in and doing dailies for a while but for my own sanity I'm checking out for now. Maybe that changes. I hope so.

Love you dumb gamblin fools. See you later.

Hope to still see you around.

Aww, bye Panther! This game can be pretty rough so I feel weird encouraging people to stick with it. If you think it's time to cut it off then that's the right decision. Just know you'll always be welcome back. Heck, feel free to drop in to point and laugh at us occasionally.

Wouldn't surprise me if the f2p are the moist vocal complainers.

Ew, I don't wanna know what they think.

JP reading players, where the hell am I supposed to go after ルーンフェリア城? According to the reddit thread there is still one more mission, 転生の洞穴, but it doesn't appear anywhere. There is no ''next'' sign.

I'm on Cristalis Underground btw.

Talk to the kappa in the middle of the kappa village to open up 転生の洞穴.

Always sad to see someone go, but I think it's for the best to give it a bit of a break Panther. Nothing at all wrong with that! We'll still be here if you want to stop back some day, but I think I can speak for everyone saying that you brightened our days many a time throughout your time here! Now get out there and find something else awesome to do - even if it might not be with quite-as-awesome people!

sometimes I feel like skipping the arena. Damn you Nier, just wanted a 9S......

Wouldn't surprise me if the f2p are the moist vocal complainers.

With Panther, I believe that makes 3 regulars who quit with the Nier banner after months of playing.

Alongside several others, including myself, who have said they won't be spending anymore either till change or for good.

A few questions:

1) Does anyone knows when the rates get better in the global game ?

2) Any dates we should expect Sephiroth to hit the global servers ?

3) My friend sent me a pic that included Cloud in the JP version, is that coming sooner than the Sephiroth one ?

I have been doing the daily quests because of the rare summon tickets, but I haven't been playing much. I am being pulled to other gatchas that have events right now.

1) Nobody knows, but people speculate it will be sometime around the beginning of the year.

2) Not for a LONG time, like 8-9 months, maybe more

3) Yes, Cloud should be released before the year ends

I am done with a Sephiroth pull regardless of Lilla.

This. All this.

I'm going for Sephiroth. I don't care about Lilla. Soon as I get a Sephiroth, I'm throwing in the towel. I am in it for the FF7 love. Not some bullshit they made up to toss in with him. (I still want a Cloud, but in time I guess.)

[JP] I'm glad I got Aiden yesterday for my daily. I finished my first one yesterday and started on second one today. 35% or something into second one now. Woot. 80% on Ling's, 50% on Xon's, and 35% on Reberta's. Todays daily was a stupid Timothy though. Ugh.


We'll miss ya Panther~ But can totally understand. I think I might have lost hope during Nier banner if I cared about it. That banner about killed the community. I got lucky and got a 2B on main and A2 on alt. I about spent everything on alt for A2, which wasn't much, but was worth it. I don't feel like I need to pull on anything any time soon.

We'll be here ... if you decide to come back. :3


Until the story event, I hadn't spend RNG in GL since Mog King. I'd built up a lot from just doing dailies. That and during that time was focusing on JP since we've had a raid. Been enjoying myself in JP a lot. I'm not rushing it. When events come I'm doing what I can to get what I can, but I don't feel like it's a drag like GL has been recently. It's a nice change of pace. Just looking forward to getting my guys in JP a bit more pumped up. :)

To end this post... Nier was a killer on us.




Edit: [JP] OMGGGGGGGGG ... I thought I had time. Went and did some packing for moving this weekend. Came back and maint. Fuck. What a waste. Not sure I'll even be up in time to get more Raid runs again. ;_; Well, so much for that I guess. Short of the item for the fists. :(

LOL it's like they listened to me and buffed Sasuke's blade from 106 atk to 130 atk! That's more like it! And I just got it from the trial a few hours ago :)

Leela and Sephiroth stats are out too. Leela is weird. Most of her skills with a high modifier are magical attacks dependent on her SPR. They're not hybrid with ATK/SPR, just SPR. Odd.

Sephiroth seems like your standard top-tier chainer but nothing looks too out of the ordinary. I suppose his real value is in how easy he would be to chain with others.

edit: Silt seems almost exactly like Mistair with the only notable difference being him having a ST 15% mag reduction skill. I don't see a need to use him instead of Mistair at all and I will prolly end up with a truckload of him chasing Sephiroth :(

What a fucking dick move to make Sephirot LB so good but costing 36 fucking crystals -__-

OK, this makes things less ridiculous

Lila is an embarrassment, what's the point of giving her a 130ATK weapon if all the skills that are worth a shit use SPR as damage? Whoever designed this was on crack.

Yeah at this first glance she's way worse than I expected. I'd rather use SoM3's Kevin than her haha.

If she really ends up sucking it would make pulling her instead of Sephiroth burn so much more T_T

I thought the 80% attack / 30% hp boost while using a knuckle was pretty mean. a 40% spr boost with a hat / clothes again basic... and that starting move for 6 mp (dmg + 80% atk/spr boost for 10 turns). an odd kit for sure, but it may turn out alright as some hybrid weirdo >.>;

It's not even hybrid, she will have to be geared with full SPR kit.

I just saw she can equip Staves (why the fuck does she equip staves), so she might be actually pretty fucking strong with the new Silt TM. In the end, the joke here is the fact that her TM is fucking useless for her and fantastic for Sephirot (why the fuck does he equip fists) lol. This is the the ultimate troll banner.

Yeah that LB is absolutely bonkers insanity: 1,200% AOE Attack modifer + AOE -100% dark/light. Sephiroth is just a solid unit all around.

As far as Lila, you can use her skills twice using that 'open eyes/truth' ability. So it might balance the fact that the skills themselves aren't that great as it will be used multiple times.

Using Neidan will also fully heal herself and 'open eyes-flash', which allows her to use her abilities thrice. I'm assuming SPR scaling works similar to Gabranth's DEF scaling.

In fact, Lila might be really strong.

JP Reddit unit thread

From comment's:

About Lila
[&#8211;]DeutscheSBIbi
Lila confuses me

[&#8211;]LongHairedSkinnyDude
She's either a SPR-based or ATK-based unit. If ATK-based, you get a chaining move that goes up to 780%. If SPR-based, you get a magic chaining move that already starts at 1000% and also a 750% AoE move. Lastly she gets imperil+imbues to thunder and fire.

If you stack Silt's TMRs on her she can be pretty damn good at chaining with other Lilas. She's really not bad, but obviously Seph is objectively better.

About Sephiroth
[&#8211;]Cyuen
480% ST 7 Hit Physical Attack & ST 3 Turn -60% Light/Dark Resist

500% ST 12 Hit (7Fr) Physical Attack

270% ST 16 Hit (8Fr) Physical Attack + Ignore 50% DEF
but wait, there is more

250% ST 8 Hit (10Fr) Physical Attack + Ignore 50% DEF
seriously... wtf

[&#8211;]ForzetiiJP
So the 7 hit attack is for chaining with Orlandu, while the 12 hit attack should be for chaining with OK.

[&#8211;]Cyuen
His 16 hits chain with onion cutter

[&#8211;]ForzetiiJP
Onion Cutter has 7 average frame I think: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/5dbam6/jp_multihit_chain_referencehit_data/

[&#8211;]Omegaforce1803
8 hits one chains with 9S TMR btw, so he can literally chain with anyone if u have a 9S TMR

If thats true then Sephiroth can chain with any unit that has Pod153.equipped.

Lila is really interesting and she has a lot of potential actually. If you're fighting an enemy resistant to physical damage, then you switch her to SPR focus. If the enemy is resistant to magic attacks, you can switch to attack focus and go with her attack that gets stronger on usage.

She can do DH as well since she can use use 2 (or 3 after a certain ability) attacks per turn regardless of dual-wield. Since she also Imperils and Imbues, her best physical attack goes up to 1170% and you get 2 per turn even if you DH. It also chains because it's multi-hit. Her magic chaining one is 1000% 14-hit and you get 2 casts per turn regardless. A lot of potential.

She'll be a freaking monster with Sephiroth as a partner actually... Octoslash is 8 hits (10 frames) while Lila's best attack is 7-hits (10 frames). If you max his LB, he'll do 100% Dark Imperil and oh boy.

You say this as if Sakura's hasn't been 30 the whole time we've been playing lol.

Yeah Lila looks disappointing to say the least. I will now be sad if I get her despite the sprite.

Yeah I'm really disappointed in how lazy Silt is. I was hoping he would be a Mistair upgrade.

Hmm, I remain skeptical but your argument is valid. I'll wait to see some testing.

She's pretty nuts. Let's look at her best attacks.

If you go SPR:

1000% ST 14 Hit (5Fr) Magic Attack w/ 100% of SPR as MAG

If you go ATK:

260% ST 7 Hit (10Fr) Physical Attack + 260% Each Use (Max: 2) or 780% at max.

Both of these are very strong chain attacks in terms of modifiers. In fact, they're top-tier chain attacks. Lunera, who is the strongest magic chainer off the top of my head, is 720% at 30 hits though it is AOE. On the physical attack side, 780% is higher than the enhanced trinity (Tidus, Orlandu, Eileen) without elemental imperils and imbues factored in.

Here's the crinkle though. While these attacks cannot activate twice with dual-wield, Lila can still do them twice a turn because she has a skill similar to S2 Sakura. In addition, the magic attack apparently works with elements and killers. While it means little to Dual-wielding, it's huge if you're SPR focused or if you intend on doing Doublehand with her.

If what I saw on reddit is correct about the magic attack gaining elemental properties. She'll potentially be able to do 3000% per turn in magic damage that also can chain with just a -50% Imperil. Even if she doesn't get that, she's doing 2000% in chainable magic damage per turn.

On the attack side, after getting her best physical attack to cap and applying Imperils, it goes to about 1170% per attack or 2340% in chaining damage per turn with a -50% Imperil. Now think about that when she's Doublehanding. Remember, she can do two attacks per turn even if she's built for Doublehand because of her skill. 2340% while DHing and that can chain.

So yeah, she's really powerful. However, she's more for veteran players with a lot of TMs that can support it where Sephiroth is strong and very friendly for newer players.

Lila also can remove stat buffs without removing stat debuffs and she has a AOE Stop attack. Yeah...

Thing is, I don't have any of the true doublehand materias/accessories to make the most out of Lila's physical skill. It also costs 80mp in total to use &#38360;&#31070;&#36899;&#25731; twice in a round. Not sure how sustainable that is mp-wise in longer fights.

On the SPR side, while I don't know how the formula would work I assume I'd have to make her SPR above 1k to do comparable damage to the top tier DDs. Not confident I could achieve that either as even my Ayaka/Yuna can barely go over 900. Of course the 1000% modifier could make up for the lack of SPR. We'll see.

MP is the big issue for her attack route, I think. You can also just do regular Dual-wield and chain her regular attack and she'll be strong in that case though.

SPR side, Silt has a 50% SPR TMR (well 25% and 25% with staff). So stacking it will probably get her to over 1000. She has comparable ATK and SPR to Tidus and CG Fina too, lol.

Missions do suck.

Defeat XX with magic.

-> Defeats XX with magic = Uses Ace LB (not chained) to kill XX.

= Mission undone.

Iam 100% sure Ace LB is magic damage.

Lazy devs to not mention what kind of type magic you need to use.

Magic damage =/= LB magic damage

The game clearly differentiates LB kill from Magic kill :/

"Kill with magic spell".

If thats not Magic damage then what is :D

Fu game, make things clearer.
 
Finished the manual grind of Beast Lord. Fucking gumi giving me A2 after I deleted her moogles lol. It was ruff. I now need LB pots for maximum efficiency!

Beast Lord
Aigion Arm

Bracer/infernal armlet but I prefer the hp from bracer
Champion Belt (2 other snows waiting to cook in the tm oven)

Are you going to do without element? Will you reset on the fourth turn to prevent devour? I don't think you will be able to kill the minions consistently without imperil, but I still have to give it a try myself too.
 
So all tickets and not even a banner unit in Sephiroth banner lol. So question on Step Up. Are the pulls rate ups on his banner? If they aren't I'm just going to do regular 11 pulls.

So the build is

Mine's ready. 5.3k hp, 984 atk, 70% dark resist, 428 def, immune to statuses. Let me know if you need something changed.

My plan (when I get 2 Jack tm done) is to go with:
- Ace Para & Confu res
- Wilhelm Para & Confu res
- Rikku ribbon
- Rikku discernmen
- DV Para & Confu res + Pod 153 + fire weapon
- FrDV Ribb/Disc + Pod 153 + fire weapon

Thats the plan in theory, not sure how bad it really is in reality.
