FF3 event was a pain in JP too because the boss was only weak to magic. The trick is that he rotates weaknesses. As I recall, it's the same order every time so I'd you can target the weakness you can one shot it. I believe he becomes weak to ice magic on turn 2 or 3 if you're looking to do the highest tier.

I prefer people put up the bonus units as usual. Although maybe that's selfish because it's what I need
Currently sharing a dark Fina with +2 ultima
Added you (Noci) - thanks!

Ace eats Elite boss for breakfast (in two turns so being confuse nullification) Just need someone else to help kill the enemies before hand.
Uploaded a short showcase of my DC Ultima Fry. She is foolproof and can clear all stages solo. Half of Gaf needs to share bonus units and the other half mages so everyone can run 5 bonus units.

Well... Have internet at new place as of now Yay.
[JP] So started with the 5 Step program for Sephiroth.
Step 1 - Rainbow outside of guaranteed Moogle. Lightning. Well, I don't even have her on GL so I guess that's okay. Do have quite a few 5*s to work on now.
Step 2 - A Rainbow is also there. Get Refia which is cool. I might work on her as my healer over bikini Fina. I feel comfy using her, but will end up needing a DC. But the Rainbow ended up being.... *cue up One Winged Angel*... Sephiroth!! Whelp! Is there a good reason to continue? I was 400 short of 25k but now I don't feel the need to have to go farm that now. Thoughts?

My ex 5 tix today was Lightning (Gold to Rainbow lol). I kinda semi waited it to be L (dupe btw). I didnt expect to get anything reasonable from the pull and well that didnt disappoint me at all . Made some tix pulls and I have 5 Saras and 1 Aria so Iam ok with banner.
Could some GAFers put Dark Veritas up with:
- Ribbon or Discernment
- Pod153
- Fire weapon
- Neutral weapon (or fire)
Iam going to try Cigarettebrand elite with:
- Dark Veritas Pod153 25/25 lb
- FDark Veritas Pod153
- Ace 25/25 lb
- Rikku 1/25 lb
- Rikku (2x Jack tm) 25/25 lb
- Wilhelm 25/25 lb
I have 1 Ribbon & 1 Discernment, will go to Rikku's rest units will get Para + Confu resist stuff.

Well, there's the increased Rainbow rates and step 3 is a guaranteed Rainbow. So if you're looking to fill out your roster, it might not be bad?
Muku
Member
Is there anything else worth it beyond that point?
I guess my problem at this point is I've no Cactaur and a boatload of stuff to level. Did manage to cap out my tank though during Raid which was good. Got to work on Reberta, Mercedes, AIleen, Refia, Fohlen.
I dunno what to fill out my roster with at this point. I have CG Sakura, Tidus, OK, Camille, Wilhelm, and bikini Fina ready for my group. I feel like there's something I'm missing. But yeah.

Top class buffer, debuffer, and healer but those aren't guaranteed so it's kind of a crapshoot if you do the next few steps.
Also, the cactuar dunes are unlocked for 2 weeks in JP so you can do that as much as you want or you can do the mystery labrynith. XP vortex also has a higher tier that gives a lot of XP for like 20 EN but you need the XP items like the Growth Egg to really make it shine.

Is there any other unit that provides physical damage mitigation, via tm or the unit themselves, or is it just pod 153? Kind of frustrating if it's just on a limited unit.
[JP] Also is it worth me investing the crysts into Water Veritas' Magic Damage Mitigation skill? It's pretty costly but I have enough.

More units have general damage mitigation now but I don't think anything else has just physical mitigation (meaning it stacks with general) yet.

Ahh. Person I left out is Agrias capped at 6*. Been using her for Full Break.
Mmm I see Cactaur Dunes is up. Going to have to get on that train. Went to FF7 event and it was blank. I guess I'll just do Dunes today and hope tomorrow to see what the FF7 event is. (I can't remember. Last 24 hours has been a whirlwind...) Have the EXP hat on Sephiroth right now when I run stuff. I know Cactaur won't help it, but will probably do a combo of both.
Step 4 ... You get an extra gold and 2 5*?
Edit: I mean... I could get another Sephiroth along the way, but I dunno if that's a good idea. Or needed really.

Damn that sucks. I'm fine on GL ofc, but in JP I don't have 9S and I wanted to test out your strategy, albeit to a lesser extent as I only have Gabranth who's DM is 40% as opposed to EV's 54%. May have to try my other strategy of spamming reraise every turn.
You get the on banner gold and double 5* rate on every crystal.

Cool, thank ya.

Step 3 - Did it. Guaranteed Rainbow... the monk chick. Tempted to do Step 4 but no way do I need Step 5.

Yeah, I know it's a time issue but I thought this was something that would have started yesterday or something, meaning time now would be fine. I keep iPad on US time once i moved back to US as it's been my alarm clock. I'll just wait it out. I need to Cactaur Dune it up for Sephiroth anyway.
Step 4 - Biggest waste. No Rainbows at all. Double my ass. Guess I'm done.
Oh if you're talking about JP then I don't know. I would hope by then there are more options but I don't know how to check. Maybe Altema has ability info?
My 4 tickets got me 4 Saras. Put up a 1k+ mag Ace with full status invulerability.
[JP] The new Madam's House thing might be my favorite thing in FFBE. Possibly because I got to just naturally discover it myself without any guides or possibly because it felt much more meaty than I had expected.
It all gets triggered by just a random NPC in an inn, that opens up a new spot on the map and going there leads you to this house. Getting inside the house you get some flavor text and some story, you get challeneged by Madam, the owner of this establishment, and of course get absolutely wrecked by her in the fight.
Eventually she'll lead you to the basement of the house where it turns out the house was built on some ancient ruins. The ruins will be an explorable area with quite tough monsters roaming around and some valuable chests here and there, unlike most roams you don't get a map straight away, but get access to the map of the level once you've discovered the totem with it on the map.
The dungeon has multiple levels and once you've made a couple levels deep you'll get some more story and some basic puzzles to do.
Once you make it all the way to the bottom there's a lvl 100 boss with 100 mil hp which is probably nearly impossible to beat for the majority of the players as of now. Fortunately enough the Madam will be there the first time around and take care of the boss for you. You'll still have the option to go back and beat the boss for that extra mission reward though.
Once done with all that the Madam gives you access to the season2 vaults.
Going by the house screen there will be many more ancient ruins levels unlocked under that house and I'm guessing the mission reward for beating that lvl 100 boss will grant you the key for that once they get added to the game.

This sounds totally cool and solidifies why Exvius is still a great mobile rpg. Mobile game traits and bullshit aside.

I was having an awesome day, so I figured I'd do a YOLO pull. I have the lapis, and there just aren't that many units coming down the pike that get me really excited.
Ouch.
That was.... not a good pull.
Oh well. Back to the drawing board with lapis. Wheeee!

Yeah... it appears that my mantle of luck has officially left me.
But it's all good. I was pulling for fun and had no expectations. I'll rebuild and hopefully have something saved up when the next banner rolls around that I actually care about. Whenever the heck that is.
It's not great, but at least you have all the bonus units you'll need now.
I beat Marlboro yesterday with Rixa's Ace and my 2B/A2 chaining the pod attack. It was a miserable fight with a reset every single time he devoured, don't even bother to do this without a debuffer and a buffer, the damage is straight shit.
Infinite LB Rikku was MVP and infinite LB Earth Vertias was useless because the boss hits so hard his mitigation didn't even matter even when it was up together with the PHY mitigation from the pod.

I'm getting the feeling that my Rem will be the MVP for this Mog King. Putting her up with a Ribbon for anyone to use at 737,852,652. Basically any damage at all done by the boss will most likely be healed by Mechanical Heart.

How do I kill this Heim guy? It's like he resists everything.
Non-elemental magic. Dude is basically immune to physical and elements. He's got some sort of weakness shifting gimmick but you don't have to care about that if you shove some Ultimas in his face.
You double cast Ultima with a 900+ MAG Dark Fina/Beach Fina/Trance Terra.

O that's interesting. I thought it would work as a percentage so you would only be taking 6% of the physical damage but I guess that's not how it works.

Told myself I wouldn't pull...but felt I need at least one non friend bonus unit to speed things up. Decided to use three tickets max...first ticket, Bedile!, second:
Whaa?! Makes for my 4th base 5* since soft launch!
Player ID: 942,634,327
~15 Spots open if anyone on GAF wants an OK bonus unit. Gonna level him up later tonight.

She is quite good especially with enhancements! Definitely glad I have her. Once TT gets her enhancements she may get less use but chaining Ultima with dupe DF is quite fun
