Camille perfect chaining with Tidus and Aileen is amazing. I think she's a bit more useful for Tidus as he doesn't have the immediate water imperial and she does, on top of the fact her TM is water element, but it really opens up people's chaining options with friend units. With her and Agrias you can chain with any of the "big 3".

I feel it's an awakening that would be better served coming to GL sooner rather than later.

To those who doubted my proclamation of Ramza coming in the next month or following. You're welcome!

It really depends on if Lunera comes with her +2 enhancement or the more likely +1 enhancement. If it's +2 then yeah Ramza will almost definitely be next month. If it's +1 then it's unlikely he'll be next month.

I said September when we spoke about this last but I'm having doubts if I'm honest. I think it's likely Lunera and Ramza will be enhanced at the same time so I don't know if they would enhance a unit just 2 months after release. I know JP did it with Charlotte and Agrias' 6* forms, but this is GL.

Regarding Lunera, it's gonna be hard to justify hardpulling for her, specially when you have Ramza awaiting his enhancement.

The way I see Lunera as a singer is she's there for people who don't currently have Ramza. Some people, unlike you and I, have not had the unfortunate experience of obtaining multiple Ramzas lol.

What the fuck did they do to Jake. He was supposed to be the ultimate breaker.

And I quote from yesterday:

I thought he was going to be a breaker but it didn't say anything on the banner news. We'll find out in a few hours I guess.

Holy Crystal x20. Thanks a lot Gumi.

Honestly I really need those lol. I have like 2 because I went on an awakening tear due to the number of king cacs I had after the raid.

Daily Zargapalooza! Damn this game.

Yesterday was Rasler. The other day was Ashe.

You know, I almost forgot that before Hippo and Shouta went on their insane runs you were the original luckster in this thread lol. Congrats.

Out of curiosity, who is Team40%Lunera and Team90%Lunera.

Yesterday I was without a doubt #team40% but today I'm less so. I'm still more in that camp (say 75-25) but then I remembered that Lunera got 4 enhancements in JP. They could easily just reduce that number to 3 by giving her the 90% boost. And what more she would practically be required to do the Robot so whales would most likely hard pull. And then Ramza would get enhanced next month for everyone else.

Think I just convinced myself to a 60-40 lol.

Got compensated a full set of Support Crysts. Anyone else get that today? I put in a ticket a few days ago just to see if they'd do it since I missed them like many others.

No support crysts for me yet (put in a ticket that first day)

EX tickets got me 10 piles of garbage (Hope from the 4* naturally) and 1 Rainbow (!!!!) that turned into Tidus #2. I guess I have my chainers!

Ticket pulls are cancer right now

you are almost better off not pulling again until the 3% rainbow upgrade lol
 
Good Lord, sitting at almost 1 million raid points, and 30k arena medals. So much pulling, although I think I will see how high I can get the arena medal count.

Edit: Raid medals not points.
 
Since there's no rate ups, I decided to use all of the gift EX tickets. The regular tickets were mostly trash with a couple of decent TM units thrown in.

But the 4* guaranteed ticket turned rainbow!

Got my first Dark Fina. Very exciting, although I have no idea how she fits into my meta. I honestly don't even know how to build her, but will try looking around a bit today.

Congrats! She's a great unit and Ultima +2 is so fun...

Truth. I don't think I've pulled anything good since the anniversary outside of Noctis. My 23 tickets on this banner were all trash. My dailies have all been trash. I wish I hadn't wasted my 10+1 ticket cause that also yielding nothing good apart from Amelia who I didn't have. I feel like there are just phases in this game where you can't pull for an extended period of time.

That's insane lol. I stopped doing the raid for my own sanity. The gacha is awful.

I wonder if I should burn up my EX tickets or not

For any UK folks Nier is in the Prime Day sale atm for £30. You can also get 15 Months of PS Plus for £30.

Got Marie on my daily - really glad about that! Maybe now I can finally do the Beasts of the Dark trial...

My team would probably be:
Marie
Minfillia (for dark res/buffs)
Wilhelm?
Orlandu (for Ifrit ATK crippling/damage)
Refia/Tilith?

Would Minfillia be that useful or would it be better to have a different support or 2nd DPS?

I need to look up the trial details again. There's a lot to keep in mind.

Ex tickets were mostly junk, but after my daily I'm not going to complain!
Golds were Seven, Hope and Grace (from 4* ticket).
Blues included Tellah, Rakshasa, Amarant, Artemios, Ulrica, Bikini Lid, Cerius, CoD.

At least Grace, Seven and Amarant have decent TMs.

I need to reset all my espers as they are pretty much fucked. Is there a guide somewhere showing optimum builds?

EDIT: Of course... What was I thinking. Apparently only the first board reset you do is free. Not the first reset on each esper... All others resets are a 100 lapis.

Daily Zargapalooza! Damn this game.

Yesterday was Rasler. The other day was Ashe.

Yay! Congrats. Very good unit, and you can get all his stats astronomically high.

Team +2 here.

Reason: +1 makes no sense with regards to Aigaion trial. It's intentional on why they're released together.

Only +2 makes sense. If Gumi is trying to make money, and sell lapis, then they need her to be much stronger for GL. At 40% buff singing is pointless.

The other probability is that they find a number below 90%. Like 60% or 80%, as it doesn't necessarily need to fit into the +1 or +2 bracket. However, with Ramza coming down the road its kinda pointless to do that.


Regarding Lunera, it's gonna be hard to justify hardpulling for her, specially when you have Ramza awaiting his enhancement.
.

For me at least its going to be hard justifying hard-pulling Lunera. Especially as Amazon coins are expensive for me right now (even though its Prime Day in the US). Also, because 3% is rumored and I'm hard-pulling Nier.

If Lunera does get that +2 enhancement out the gate, I think Lunera is going to be more utilitarian singer than Ramza due to roughly double his HP/MP healing output. And healing for ~2,000 HP each turn is significant, its only a little less than dual casting Curajas, meaning that if gives your healer breathing room to cast buffs/dispels/raises, etc. Better yet, ~100MP heal each turn makes spamming certain abilities spells viable.
 
If Lunera has +2 I'll pull for her if not then I'm passing on the banner all together. I plan on hard pulling Nier/Veritas and OK and as mentioned in the US Amazon Coins are stupid high right now.

90% singing makes Zargarbanzo pointless though. Gumi fucked up with these releases, they delayed shit so much and now they release redundant units.

BTW, got my crysts.

I am at that time to choose a TM weapon, my completed units are :

Cecil
Fryevia
Rikku
Y´shtola
Reberta

and i have a Tidus but need to awake too.

Guess i need to choose what will be my main damage dealer for now?

If you give me tips for Units to awake and improve my main team i will apreciate.

On my main i dont have this problem cause my only good damage dealer is Reberta xD

It's hard for me as well. Specially since Ramza likes to show up on my Rainbows. 5 now.

I'm only doing free dailies on her banner. Not even gonna waste a single ticket.

Worse case, I'll use Hippos or your Lunera since we all know your Lunera will be roided.
 
Ex Tickets failed me this time. All garbage. I dumped those moogles right into Fryevia though! 50% so far and not a day spent tm farming her. Need more moogles gumi!
 
Personally I am done spending any form of ticket until the 3% rate increase. Be it in a month or 5 months no tickets outside of 4* since the rate doesn't change for those. Also saving any 10+1 tickets we get from here on out.

60% stat buff with stepped enhancements (+1 75%, +2 90%) down the track would be sensible from a balance perspective but maybe not for making Lunera viable long-term, unless Ramza enhancements/Roy are several months out still. After looking at the Aigaion trial a bit closer I think Zargabaath may deserve a spot in a certain team setup due to his 40% all-res buff. I have concerns about MP sustainability without a party-wide MP restore, but it's all hypothetical until we see exactly what GL changes are made, if any.

I still don't believe he'll be worth it on this trial over bringing a friend Lunera if she rolls out at 90%, though, sorry. And I don't think he would merit a spot in the team if you're bringing Lunera to begin with. But I'm moderately less sure about this than I was yesterday.

I'd say I'm maybe 30-70 90% buff-40% buff.

It's all academic to me; I'm going into 100% conservation mode for Nier. I don't need the trial rewards either, so I can wait for power creep to lift me up if I need to.

And elves are trash. It is known. Fuck elves.

Aigaion's trial is all about sustainability, the ideal scenario is just having to click repeat and win (4 hours later)
Will be interesting to see how people will do it without Ramza's +2 song.

BTW, got my crysts.

They did. Lunera + Rikku basically covers all Zarg's functionality and much much more. It really is a shame how they released these characters. I wish they added some debuffing capability into Zarg he could have been a little more of a unique support.

It's hard for me as well. Specially since Ramza likes to show up on my Rainbows. 5 now.

I haven't decided on getting Lunera yet. I might skip as well given 3% rumors, and I do have a ton of Ramza's too.

What is sad is I hard-pulled for Ramza when he first came out long long ago. Took me a couple hundred pulls as well. My thought was that he will eventually get his enhancements like JP and would my star unit.

I've rarely, if ever, used him in my team, and I've gotten so many of him since. Now given his enhancement delay and release of Lunera, etc, not to mention all the other changes with GL. I've learned my lesson not to invest in units based on JP enhancements or meta.

SPR gear will be the most important there. As long as your team can survive while every unit do its role, it's all a matter of time, a lot of time.
