Guys, there might be something wrong with the game. I haven't done a daily in months; did one now because all those Onion Knight's didn't feel like a coincidence...

Quick! Everyone keep pulling! Maybe there's multiples! lol

Wow. Raining OKs today, though my daily was a Ludmille. Grats again to all!

I just realized the fan festa rewards will come as one box right? I don't have space for 30 cactuars haha.

My box is always full because of those so many of those damn mini burst pots from expedition. I wish I could combine them or trade them in, because those mini ones raise so little of my LB yet take up so much space.

S2 Nicol coming, eh? Depending on how good his buffs are, he could be quite useful. He seems to be an upgraded version of his original kit though unlike Lid which was an overhaul.

It likely means we'll be getting S2 Rain during the 2nd anniversary.

Best thing about CG Nichols being released is that we are done with these trash characters (personality wise) and now on it's time for Rain and Raegan *-*

Congrats to all new OK owners!


This is how they get you.
Multiple people getting it don't increase the 0.5% chances to get him :p

I still do my daily every day, usually just don't post about it because it's trash. Only had one daily rainbow ever in Trance Terra, and haven't seen a rainbow in at least 200+ pulls, since Tidus.

Onion Knight's ability enhancements look really great, basically now becomes a better multi-element chainer as he can now add elemental type to attacks with his Splendor movies, and boosts damage on Onion Cutter/Slice. So the Onion Cutter can now use that associated element even without having an elemental weapon equipped. Makes building him a lot more versatile. Basically an already versatile unit become more versatile.

Noctis enchantments also look really nice, 1050% attack modifier Zero Distance Shift Break (which GL lacks), is now a lot more accessible, and his LB can be filled a lot quicker.

Congrats to all those new OK owners today! No way you're tricking me into pulling though!

Do you have Rikku ?
If you can have Hyper NulAll and keep the dancing with Soleil you should be fine.

Also what friend did you use ? I needed to use robotuw OP Trance Terra to get it done.

Hey glad she's useful. I have her built to solo ELT but if people need her for the Trial let me know. I can give her some status gear or increase her hp a bit instead of Alterna.

Whike GL is waiting for Noctis buff, JP gets enhancement!

Noctis

Reminder that Close Quarters Warp Break is "525% ST Physical Attack + Ignore 50% DEF & ST 3 Turn -45% ATK/DEF Debuff"

This is great news. I was worried global Noctis would get his upgrades as enhancements before JP Noctis got his, running the risk of permanently neutering our Noctis. Now Gumi can't get away with that as easily. For them to give us "JP Noctis" they have to give him a double buff and they are less likely to make both of them enhancements.

How does Noctis' enhancements compare to what he currently has?

r/ffbe still hasn't updated their enhancements page.

JP's Noctis is an enhanced version of the already enhanced compared to GL version.

The GL Noctis doesn't have his main finishing move, which is a 1050% modifier finisher with a built-in break, Zero Distance Shift Break (零距離シフトブレイク) which you had to combo into. The enchantments makes his main move (and his LB) a lot more accessible.

That finisher sounds crazy.

If you had to guess, how long would you say till GL gets Tidus' enhancements?

If would follow the jpn shedule his batch was right after lukas batch...but we are global...tidus could become a second greg if we get unlucky :-/

Or he could become a new Ramza, aka eternal delay?
Technically, I suppose gl can give Ramza spot to soleil, but is soleil stat buff enough to change the holy trinity aka wol//rikku//tilith into wol//tilith//soleil?
Plus soleil would fit situation with no "fuck you" mechanics, but for quite some trial rikku emergency fess is much more valuable..
Choices choices....
 
So I am definitely planning on attending fan festa in NY. Just gotta get the day off and I should be set. Going to drive in for the day. Really interested in the exclusive unit. Taiwans looked really cool...

Don't forget to bring your really big "WHERE ARE RAMZA'S ENHANCEMENTS?" sign and t-shirts.

Do we know what the US exclusive unit is? All American Rain? G.I.Fina?
 
Decided to try and ride the OK luck that hit the board today and used the daily ticket.

BOOM!!!

My 57th Anzelm. Haven't seen him in over a month. I was starting to miss the guy.

Really don't understand what I'm doing wrong with Hein.

WoL - Armor Eraser
Soleil - Shooting Dance (Enhanced +1)
Tilith - Rainbow Veil
Ashe - Meditate
Friend - attacks with some magic ability

Still takes my team down to 1/3 of HP and often just KOs Ashe first turn.

I've stacked my units with SPR materias and equipment. Is that not right? Should I be stacking HP?

Had trouble with a similar setup. Rotated in Minnifilla and that made the difference for me.

Managed to get the no items reward over the weekend (Rikku was the key unit for the rewards), making all rewards complete, so at least that's out of the way! Went in with Warrior of Light, Rikku, Tilith, Dark Fina, Fryevia and friend Trance Terra for the no items.

Got 3 units to 100/100 by running the Dunes which was nice. Still need to catch up on the new story elements though. Think I'm going to skip the Crysts for the event this time round...

Actually Soleil might be MVP for Bahamut esper fight too, if you enhanced her SPR dance (which I did for Hein).
Looking at it, Rozalin on Reddit shared a OS strategy for the fight :

With,

Garnet (w/4 10% Esper Damage), x2 Shantotto, Tim + friend who has Bahamut as their Esper,
you can OTK Bahamut with ease, if all you're after is getting Bahamut.

If you don't want to do that, Ramza is actually better off using his MAG break over singing. Or, if you have access to Mistair, she basically makes the fight a complete joke.

Other options are to bring in Y'shtola and/or EV for their LBs to reduce Megaflare damage (max level LBs of course).

If we don't get Ramza enhancements next month then RIP.

Well, this is aggravating. I'm trying to continue the story since I've been slacking on it and every time I try to enter the next dungeon available (Nameless Ruins, yes I'm still in Mysidia) the game crashes. It tries to load the opening cutscene and then just dies. The last time it was doing this to me I had to completely uninstall and reinstall and I really don't want to do that again.

Have you tried the restore button on the splash page? When I have had glitches/errors that tends to fix things without a complete reinstall.

In other news I spent yesterday with the dunes, desperately trying to get two Ashe's up to lvl 100 for the hein trial. Turns out I only needed 1, took it down with ace/ace(friend ace)/Ashe/marie/Tilith. Didn't get the 5 man party challenge, but since all I wanted was the gauntlets I'm considering this a win.

One thing I noticed. My Ace's refresh outpaced my laser usage, but my friends Ace only refreshed for about 25 each round. What's up with that? Neither had a supplemental auto-refresh (that was on marie). Is there a stat that determines how much MP you recover?

Missed this Daily jamboree, tried today and got another Nine. Don't even know what I expected.

Arena is a fucking DRAG this week. So many people with multiple full evasion units. What even for? It's just perpetuating everyone hating arena. You don't even get anything for successful defenses.

Good thing Ashe don't give a crap about evasion! I don't even remember the last time I had one go more than one turn.

Thinking about trying out Destiny 2 because the wife is also interested. We'd be on PC though. Never played the first one but we liked Borderlands & Diablo, stuff like that.

Building up my 2 Ashes for this very reason.

It's worth trying but I'm biased as I was addicted to the first one even with its failings. Currently playing 2 on Xbone but I'm contemplating rebuilding my gaming PC for it simply for that sweet sweet frame rate and PC master race etc.

Just OTK'd Erinyes with 3 Setzers lol

Setzer 1 - Prismatic Flash (Second Knife, Flametongue)
Setzer 2 - Prismatic Flash (Dual Wield, Flametongue, Flametongue)
Setzer 3 - Double Dice (Vernard, Bowie Knife, Sun Barette, Demon Killer Materia, Diablos)

Took about 10 tries to get the timing down and the right Dice roll, but when it works, its great!

Inspired by these vids...

I'm confused. Why is nobody talking about Charlotte? We made a big deal about EV's global-exclusive boost to his AoE cover ability with a 60% proc rate and declared him "better than WoL" mostly because of it. Now Charlotte gets her enhancements with the same proc rate and nearly twice the damage mitigation and nobody bats an eye? I don't get it. Here's the full breakdown:

WoL: 50% chance to block 50%phys/50%mag
EV: 60% chance to block 35%phys/35%mag
Charlotte: 60% chance to block 60%phys/60%mag

Outside of cover, WoL has breaks, counters and embolden. EV has provoke, counters, and kinda-crappy damage mitigation. Charlotte has mp restore, esunaga (w/ shield), and embolden. They don't seem that disparate to me.

Charlotte is a big deal. She doesnt measure up to the tank trinity of Wilhelm, EV, and WoL, but she's better than Cecil now. She lacks breaks, and her equips are very limited.
I have her maxed and ready to mitigate some magic damage! I havent done her enhancements yet, but I will. Im severely lacking in Support Crysts :(

Nobody's talking about anything because we're all in mourning over Valentus leaving. I know there's no hope for Chilly returning at this point, but Im holding hope that Val returns once the he's had some time away.

Never really used cover until 100% dodge WoL (recently) became a thing on JP -- always just felt like there was a big chance to just get wrecked by the dmg otherwise.

Main reason why I was hyped for WoL was because he could do breaks and tank, main reason why I was interested in EarthV was because of his AoE debuff resistance and high counter rate and multi-turn provoke.

I'd generally favor innate draw attack tanks, but GL still lacks the accessories/armor/shield to bump that 50% attract up to 70%+

For dodge setup I might still favor WoL due to the larger equipment pool.

What do you use on Ashe? that damage/healing skill?

Making annoying arena units is the real meta and a great joy in my life. Not sorry for my Noctis x2, Ashe x2, and Rem team. Also could be worse, could throw my D Fina in there.

Heavens fury. With 3 or 2 ashe and ga spells you can wipe out any team.

Yup.

Right now I have 3 Ashe using Heaven's Fury and Tidus using Energy Rain. They chain together into the high 30's/low 40's every time and I oftentimes see over 1k damage to the enemies per hit. I would venture to say that I do ~6k-7k damager per unit using that skillset in arena, and I don't even have my Ashes equipped with anything.
