Thanks, I didn't know what TM to get anymore so it's nice to have new goals.
So LB farming. How does it work these days? You stack fire resist on the unit, put a fire weapon on them, and put them on auto with auto-limit enabled against Irfrit? You'd also need at least one limit-refill item equipped too right? Since you can't get crystals from Irfrit with a fire weapon. Can you let it run forever or is there a limit where the gauge doesn't refill anymore?
I prefer Jack's tm. I let mine run over night. I usually equip 3-4 jack's tm and kelsus tm. Both jack and kelsus tm gives crystal instead of one like CoD.
Right, that was my plan I just meant the setting that automatically uses a character's lb when it's available. 4 Jack TM's would give a standard unit an lb every 2 turns. Are all of Irfrit's attacks fire-based or do you need a mechanical heart equipped to survive?
Bring angel ring that is enough recovery for me to survive and some flame resist gear helps too.
Also if some units cannot equip flame weapons(Swords or rods) I would recommend getting the wind drake talon(fire fist weapon) and equip fist(One of the vaults keys, I forgot which one).
Thanks, invite sent.
My ID is 031 667 114 if anyone wants to add me JP side. Only at 515 atk at the moment, but it's only a few days old so it will eventually go up.

shouldn't that go on aileen?
but yeah, makes sense for the high tide... still, a shame..
They've been bringing back exploration events so you might get another shot at it in a few months. In the mean time the only true replacement is the Aigaion Arm, which you would understandably want on a dps character over a support.

technically, it will hurt her build A LOT, but i guess i can do a:
hyper mentalist + give rikku's tmr to one dps (yeah......... but i don't see any other way for aigalon trial, as she's supposed to cast the lb every turn, so someone else needs to keep up eccentrick) to cast Eccentrick and in case throw 1 or 2 ignorance in the mix?
i feel so asinine to have missed the event now :X
but yeah, i do expect to get the event again, it's just that i've fucked up in the short term.. I've almost full potted all her stat, lb at 23, I have her tmr, most of her gear is ready..
then i say "oh let's craft her weapon", and i notice i'm missing one mat...
my face was like

Shit. Whats this special weapon Im missing for rikku? I only came back like a month ago so I missed everything
Overdrive. 100% LB boost.
Gotcha!
Now I need someone to carry me through solo runs! So far LucaMac helped with some trials! I wonder if a 900 atk Sephiroth can solo Gilga!?
So I might be lttp, but for anyone still farming this MK event, I've built a Mag Onion Knight that can solo ELT. Just DC Alterna + Osmose until boss stage. Boss stage use World Destroyer or any breaker with 40% or higher spr break like WoL's Armor Eraser + DC Alterna to OTKO Hein.

Just realized I never finished the last stage of the story event. What's the boss's deal? I remember reading people were caught off guard on their first run?
Late to the party : So I finally attempted Orthros trial, for the much needed staff mastery.
At first it took me a while to find an ATK Onion Knight because of the event (lol)
Then I got a f*cking graphic glitch at the start, rebooting the app would have some nasty effects on this fight as I remember, so I had to deal with it >.<
Sucess! My only trial left is Malboro I guess, not going to touch it anytime soon.
Victoria is happy with her 888 MAG now, still missing 2 mag pots though

Congrats! ^^
Gone go through that fight on JP!
He can one shot you even with Rikku LB. So try to kill it with one shot.

Oh damn, thanks!
That or just go slow. It will use its hard hitting attack every 20% but if you pass several threshold, it will use it multiple times.

Seabreeze Dark Fina 29.5%

Heavens - 0.0%
Water - 0.0%
Then I have tons of other 4* charcacters to use up too... Ugh First World Global Exvius Problems.
Got Noctis LB to Lv.20 and Rikku No.2 LB to 1100+ more exp to lv.25.

Sent a request as well, need more friends for trials!
Currently trying to do Octopus and Dark esper trials. I have all the support units I need leveled up and since I don't have any strong 5* chainers I really need friends to finish them
On a side note I can comfortably kill Echidna, but I can't get the esper kill to trigger and I've tried 4 times now lol.
Done.
Slapped Discernment + 2x Seal of Destruction instead 3x Mag 30% for extra HP.
Status Update:
So after the first week of the Nier Banner, I had blown everything I had, plus $200 of Lapis to end up with zero banner Rainbows. The only silver lining to all this was that I got my first Wilhelm, which I intend to use for the Malboro Trial once I've finally got the Ribbons I need.
(I'll still need a healthy, ribbon'd, Ace friend unit when that time comes......please?
I was at zero Lapis left and zero tickets left (4* and normal).
Since then I've been in zero Lapis usage, Zero ticket usage, and no real money spent on the game, turbo hoarder mode.
I am currently back up to 9600 Lapis and about 46 tickets.
Self control, is the name of the game. Going to continue saving everything. Quality over quantity. I want my next pulls to be for an earth-shattering unit and AFTER the 3% Rainbows change.
I realize this may mean no pulls until next year. FINE.

If we are friends (not sure about your ID name) you got covered. Tho mine is Discernment Ace

Thanks! I'm Exellus in game.
Yeah I think you and maybe one or two others in my friends list are good, I'm just not prepared yet because I have to TMR farm 3 more Ribbons before any real attempts, so it'll be a couple weeks more at least.

Thanks Rixa and Roku for the Ace's. Still failed. Rng keeps fucking me over. Riku x 2, 2b, a2, duo pods, ling and ace and still get fucked over. Going to try and tank and spank this shit. Wikl report back tonight after work.
My planned team is:
Wilhelm
Tilith
Ace
Flame Veritas
Soleil
Friend Ace
The only drawback from this team is no darkness element resistance buff. However, if everyone is 5k+ hp (or 6k+), then Soleil's 120% buffs and the Flame Veritas Barrier will probably be enough to survive.
Then we can use the 120% offense buffs, plus 35% SPR debuff, to chain the 2 aces into FV Fire finisher (+75% flame imperil), which SHOULD meet the AOE dps requirements of this fight. FV with Fixed Dice and the SIngle Target damage during middle parts of fight. Wilhelm tanks, Tilith heals, and in a pinch Tilith, or either Ace can be mana batteries.
I saw someone on Youtube use this comp and cleared Malboro ELT the first DAY it was out. The only things I lack right now to do this are the status resist TMRs, and need to awaken Soleil abilities.
If I weren't doing this team another comp I think would work would be the 2x Ashe strat, or running a Dark Veritas in your team.

Accepted your request, I still have a couple slots if anyone else wants to add me:
370.954.183
I know you can get the esper as part of a chain, but I tend to be really conservative with it trying to get esper kill outright as it's own attack. Resetting the turn if I don't get the kill, whittling some more and trying again next turn. Although, Echidna can get pretty dicey at low health if I recall.
Dang, hopefully it goes well. I'm hoping to finish a second pod and maybe some more status immunities before I give it a shot; although I'm not in a rush since it seems like a pretty rough fight.
Hopefully my Onion Knight should be much more helpful now he's MAG heavy with a Ring of the Lucii! Does some serious damage to the ELT boss along with another of your units. Think I may skip Crysts this time round in the Mog Event...
Also, damn there are quite a few typos in the new story text...

Thanks guys.
I'd still say my main for the the moment. Alt has units that are kinda meh. Maybe they would be better if I had the gear for them? Dunno. I will say Alt had upper hand from Nier event though. I feel like I dig A2 more than 2B. I think the Offensive Heal thing is amazing.
Getting a Rainbow for a daily is so rare. Love when it happens.
Man, been so busy this past weekend I feel behind on what shouldn't even be a big MK event for me on JP or GL. And now this morning off to visit my fam before I go job hunting again. With little sleep. ;_; Will try to browse here off and on though on trip. Today though think I'm going to be mostly screwed out of another day. Ahh.
Edit: Also, I'm farming Pro. It's not horrible since I don't want much from this. And ELT feels like too much work for only a little more. I don't get making something you gotta do repeatedly such a pain in the ass.

I've beaten it a few times with different setups, but what worked best for me was:
Two Rikku, Tank, Setzer, Ace, and DV (or any unit that can increase dark resistance).
The difference between getting murdered and surviving was insuring that your Tank could absorb the physical damage moderately well (you have two Rikkus helping in this) and being able to survive dark AOE magic attacks. Throw on Melody of Life, Soluna band/ring, Black Mask, Angel Earrings, etc to stack that dark resistance on as many of your units as possible. If you have DV with his 70% dark resistance buff and you already have dark resistance on your unit, you'll take little to no damage against those attacks.
For the damage portion, Two Pod153's Mirage + Fire Element + Ace -75% Imperil + Setzer Double Dice finisher worked really well. I actually also had Pod153 on my second Rikku, and had her dual wield fire elemental weapon, and chained Mirage with DV on her spare turns (not necessary but its speeds things up). Usually I just chained with Ace (who also had Pod153 and fire weapons) With Ace's Imperil, you're able to do consistent amount of damage on all units.
You have to make sure you can do over 11% damage on the mini Marlboros per turn, as if they hit below 10% HP they self destruct and you have to start over again. Given the Marlboros are DEF/SPR breakable, make sure you have a debuffer can really smooth things along; DV can fill this role, or Rikku with her pouch can do it as well. Also insure you have someone who can dispel (or has bushido freedom) to remove buffs from Great Marlboro once he goes below 50% HP.
Only tricky part is getting all of them to die at the same time.
I'm gonna copy paste this strategy. So that when I finally decides to tackle Malboro, I'd have some pointers.
But right now, I have ZERO motivation on trying for Malboro Trial.

I still haven't even tried Pro Malboro yet, I have literally 0 interest in the trial overall.
I should also mention you can cheese the snort, which will remove your tank (assuming you have 100% provoke), by just closing the app and relaunching.
I actually didn't do this because it actually took longer to do then just doing it normally. But basically, if you get snorted, you won't have a tank you have to insure both Rikku's can fill their LB gauge and be ready to cast Hyper Might G every turn between them until your tank returns. Getting that Great Malboro buff off with dispel/bushido freedom once he goes below 50% is crucial to surviving without your tank.
Luck is the name of the game. Saving doesn't mean shit when you can pull 150times and not even get a base 4*.
Its had the exact opposite effect on me. I see no reason why to save anymore.
