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

Tried a lot of setups, but a completely fatuous MAG build seems to be the best way to OTKO ELT Boss with Onion Knight.

Basically SPR Break + Dual Cast Alterna makes it a breeze. Alternatively, you can just bring a mage that can dual cast Ultima and an SPR breaker.

Wow. The Castle Hein music might be the most nostalgia inducing music Ive ever heard.

I dont think I played FF3 though... I played the US versions, 1, 2, and, 3 back in the 90s. After that was FFT.

If this battle music came from FF3, then it must be over 25 years since the last time Ive heard it. And yet it is SO FAMILIAR, like I listened to it all day yesterday!

Its kinda crazy how our brains memorize and never forget music.

This morning I used 8 tickets and got 3 of the 4 banner units. But no OK.

Did a 10+1 pull and he showed up! I don't often have this luck... feel very fortunate. Now hopefully I can do nothing but save until Ayaka.

Currently geared for MAG w/ Alterna & Dualcast. Only 633 mag after Esper, but he can get the job done.

Yeah, I know his LB is awesome put I used all my LB pots on Fryevia (who has Max LB now. Might not be best LB in the game, but she's a beast). I'll work on him gradually.

 
Everyone mentioning just use alterna... just lol at this point, f2p failure.

Ig at the very least I can still beat hein with just ExDeath in the 500's mag wisen as my only mage runner. Takes me like 3 turns

Awesome, glad she's way better than people first gave her credit for~

Yeah she's actually really good. Personally I'm enjoying her LB which gives Eccentric to the team, seeing as I don't have Rikku. Getting Sakura's and Lil' Rydia's LB for an 80 hit chain every turn is quite fun lol.

Tbf, she had to share the banner with Sepiroth. She never stood a chance against the one winged angel.

Exactly, it's because she shares a banner with Sephy~ that she was labeled trash immediately... people rage, freak out, and a day or two later after actually seeing some geared up attempts at various stuff, go... oh she's not that bad >.>;

So Malboro's attack are magic based that do physical damage. Does that mean that magic mitigation is the way to reduce their damage and not 9S' TM? I guess this supports Syntsui's post.

Gumi nerfing those rare ennemies currency drop really make those MK events pointless, I mean 2 ouroboros and 1 lion only give 1500 in ELT, for 25 NRG, that's way too low.

Once again I'm going for the tickets and will bail out, better luck next MK!

I've had three Mog King events on JP since I started playing there and they are severely buffed compared to what we have here on Global.

I don't know when the change happened but rest assured that things will be WAY better. Same thing for raids and story events, everything will be severely buffed at some point.

Yeah this MK event is quite crappy. No bonus units either so I'm not sure I'll even get the expensive tickets this time around. Looks like the helm is worth getting but the armor is skippable?

Daily was gold, another Nine because every week is Type-0 week!

I setup my trance terra with 1050+ mag and ring of lucii/alterna. I believe i accepted your friend request yesterday.
 

tuffymon

Agreed

and wtf they need to bump up these bonus unit rates

15 runs in and nothing

1 elt / 17 pro, seen it 1x (lucky during my elt)... give it a few days before we honestly say how bad it is, maybe we'll hit a lucky streak at some point... i'm just glad this mk doesn't have a bunch of really important gear or anything and its literally tickets/quartz and peace~

Since I have nothing better to share, I'm sharing my Trance Terra as well, who unfortunately has neither Ring of the Lucii or Fryevia's Needle, but can OHKO Hein with DC Ultima with even a peasant break (Chaos Grenade, World Destroyer).

755,040,092 - Nier ended up culling a few people from my friend list, so I have some spaces open.

Lila doing Lila type things. Just casually killing the Robot with ease.

The one thing I didn't think of with her is you don't actually need an attack buffer with the SPR. Someone like Basch who can raise def and spr can be used instead, giving you an extra slot if your buffer is usually a bard.
 

robotuw

Member
Dunno if I've been lucky or what but I see a bonus unit what seems like every other run. 21 Hein kills, 8 Sea Lions, and 6 Ouroboros.
 

Syntsui

Member
14 Hein, 3 Ouroboros, 2 Sea Lions. The problem here is that sea lions barely constitutes a bonus considering how pathetic his increase is. It's the usual shitty Mog King that's for sure.
 

Shouta

FF3 was shit for bonus drops in JP too as I recall.

It's actually one of the worst MK events because of the bonus drops and Hein being a jerk.

Thank you to everyone sharing OK. :3 Best I have are two Saras so don't feel like it's worth sharing. Urgh. Fortunately don't feel need to get a lot in this. Which is great just due to time and .. because MK here and JP at same time.. x_x

[JP] Put up Sephiroth last night as lead... got him up relatively with Cactaur Dunes. Gotta finish him off but in mean time at least he's 100% for that.

Is the ring worth it? I'm thinking the DW and 2-pc body thing are first things I'm going for. Then tickets and 6* mats and maybe 10% Moogle if I can swing it.

Sharing a 859 MAG Dark Fina that can solo ELT - just use Sara's LB and DeShell skill from any esper and D.C. Ultima will take out Hein.

I'd like someone to explain what this means as well..


Phys or Magic evade?

DEF or SPR?

Phys Mitigation or Magic Mitigation?

My Freyvia has dual cast and Noctis' ring if anybody needs it for runs too. Just one alterna takes out Hein when he's spirit broken. The dual cast is there for those who can't. Did over 800,000 per alterna on him with Delita...Delita is so underated.

It's a convoluted mess and really dumb design. It's magic based, but checks against defense. You need Magic Evade, Magic Mitigation, and Defense. 100% sure on the last two, not sure on the first though.

Ring is worth it. 30 DEF/SPR and it gives Guts, which gives a 20% chance of surviving a fatal hit if you're 80% Hp or above. Great for tanks when combined with Reraise.

Ahh. I didn't even pay attention to the on wear thing. So that's good to know. That's nice. Definitely give that to Willy.

Just picked up Dual Wield, because if you're gonna give me an option to buy one, especially on a relatively new account, Imma take it. Gave it to Tidus for now. Will be better once I start getting better gear. But allowed me to give one of the Second Knives to someone else in mean time. (Made two from Raid event.)

So guess both pieces of gear, tickets, Moogle (if I have time), and 6* mats. Going easier on this one because not as much interesting stuff (though should probably add Sacred to list) and both are in MK events. And time is limited with moving then going on a trip soon. x_x Guess it's good GL MK is meh.
 
Put up a 908 MAG Rem for anyone who needs to beat ELT easy. Her Dagger Boomerang can kill the boss in 3 turns, possibly two if you buff her first.

My bro wants to play again so I'm rerolling for him on my iPad (he does the same on his) and I just got 3 Summer Lid in one roll.
WTF, RNG can't explain this.

I'm convinced regardless of what they say that units are shuffled in and out of the pool.

I've had an insane amount of Luna and Rydia the past few days.
 
Got two more tickets, 1 trust moogles and the limited equipment. Got enough bonus units to not make it terrible so no more pulling for me.

*no more pulling, no more pulling...
 
Has anyone found a sure fire way to beat Malboro yet or is he still hard as hell?

Really would like that materia for Rem. Would let her not only keep her MAG at 908, but I could get her HP to 5k so she isn't a glass cannon anymore.

She's still probably my favorite unit in the game.


Edit - With SPR down from WOL she kills ELT boss in 2 rounds. Nobody else even needs to attack. :)

Yeah what Sean said, including it being a mess. It's a horribly designed mechanic.

Bro got OK finally, so used a few Moogle to get Ring of Lucii and put it on my Victoria, she does 81% of Hein's HP without buff, should be OS-able with a small MAG buff or SPR debuff.

My head is about to explode, i farmed so much for sephiroth, i only did the first four steps.


1 step : nothing
2 step : Bash
3 step : Lunera
4 step ; Sephiroth , Tidus and Eiko


It was like 6 hours farming lapis for this shit , dont know if i go to step five or not since i already have sephiroth.

I only did 4 steps and got as many rainbows as my main account in gb just doing that. Its insane how shit GB is compared to JP.

1 month or less in jp - 12 rainbows
4 months in GL - 6 and i think i had luck xD

Ive had a RoL for months and never really used it.

Now I realize the power of Alterna!

Swapped a pair of earrings on Vicky for the RoL, dualcast Alterna OHKO ELT boss (with WoL's SPR break).

Only 'problem' is I just maxed out my new Seabreeze D Fina. Do I swap her in for Vicky when Vicky is doing just fine?

ALSO - Cleared out some inactives, so... anyone who doesnt have me, please send a FR, have GAF in your name or msg!

It's crazy isn't it? Never ever pulling until we get Japan's stuff here. It's so night and day.

JP always months ahead though. By the time GL gets what JP has now JP will have something better again.

This is exactly why I try to keep my eyes and ears closed as far as JP stuff goes.

Its so hard to be satisfied as it is, last thing I need to hear about is a near identical but way more rewarding version of the game Im currently playing.

Gumi could probably combat it a little with exclusive gameplay features/modes, more glex units and events.

Set their game apart and differentiate as much as possible.

The step-up is a bit different from the other upgrades that we've had.

Everyone gets to benefit from the 3% rainbow chance for instance, but as a free-to-play you either have 15-25k lapis saved up or you don't and get almost nothing from it.

It takes a long while to save that up, so it's nice to have knowledge ahead of time. I'll use tickets if something comes up that I want, but I'm not touching lapis dailies anymore.
