Daily Shantotto, 6 daily summons, no banner units.
Gumi please. With that sort of luck I'm not pulling anytime soon.

18 Star Quartz, 2 Burst pot and 2 T4 crysts of each for the last vault day.

I always wonder why you have such a huge desire to pull onion knight? Only because he is really really good and will be even better in the future or some sort of nostalgia?

Cid has -50% Light resist and 100% all other elements.
Famfrit has 200% Water, 100% Light and -50% Fire.

That's because I have no chainer, and despite getting Fohlen nobody share him so I can't chain at all.
Onion Knight with his huge hit numbers can at least chain a bit with everyone, I'm not really looking forward perfect chains (plus it would be impossible since I'm on iOS)

My other choice would be Dark Veritas, but double rainbow banner = NOPE.
Onion Knight is coming roughly one month after Dark Veritas so he really is the next attainable chainer.

To answer your question, Onion Knight is weaker than Orlandeau/Aileen/Tidus because no imperil.

Nice :D I dont have any stat immune items in my arena team. As you can see I prolly do Arena as much as you (5 times per day) :p.
And too lazy to have specific arena team. Like Tidus is "kinda" bad arena unit.

Same, and you went first both times! (that's right, I gave you a change of redemption), 1 turn ko. I'd be more serious if we could have a different load out for this group :/

I didn't realise there was going to be a trial for this mog king. Wouldn't have farmed the extra 10k I did for the cactuars if I had known.

Yea. Swapping EQ's is nightmare as long as we need to swap something all the time I wont even think different eqs for arena.

Luneth with stone sword -> hit all -> hope for petrify
If not
Do it again

Arena is just boring.

My sophisticated Repeat list is:

Noctis: Blizzard Flask
Noctis2: Blizzard Flask
Setzer: Cursed Card
Ace: Tri-Beam (too lazy to swap Ace away) could use Support Hand too
Tidus: Energy Rain

Finally some rainbow luck.
Getting one from free pull after a loooooong draught.
Zargabath... really dunno how to use him and desperately need a Chainer to improve my damage.

Daily 3rd Ashe!

After the 7 straight dailies of Wakkas during ff10's banner, ff12 gave me 2 Ashe, 1 Rasler and Zargapalooza as dailies.
Wow! I had reverse luck, got 2 Rikkus on dailies last week but this week Vaan everyday except for 1 Shadow.
Sweet, thank you. :) Will put Bowie Knife on list for Yun then. Thinking after Black Cowl, I'm going to work on building up Yun.

I have Setzer as well, but felt good when Orlandu came out and chained with him. Kept him on team. I have a Setzer built up that I use from time to time. I like Setzer, but got a few characters I like to use in group so hard to swap him in these days, haha.

Edit: Thinking maybe Bowie Knife, then Kaiser Knuckle, then Yun's own TM after Black Cowl. His chestpiece gives ups to knuckle weapons if I recall right.

I'd put Yun's above Black Cowl at least for sure. 30% ATK and high DEF on a piece of armor is incredible.
 
I think I'm paying the price for getting 2 of my rainbows on free daily pulls. Not seen anything but a blue in a long time.

Btw anyone remember the name of the MP regen gear you can buy for star quartz and which moogle it's at? I remember it was 200 quartz but forgot where it is XD
 
Question for y'all, other than the obvious mages, who are some good units to out MAG pots into? Already have Fryevia maxed, so looking for some others that would benefit.

I believe it's Auto-Refresh in Sorcerer's Hideaway? You could check the wiki to confirm - http://exvius.gamepedia.com/Star_Quartz

Ashe and Zyrus pop up in my head

Dark Fina if you have her

Noctis is also worthy of some pots

Hell even Zarby if you want. He does have a pretty power Magic based LB

Ashe?

Rem too.

5* mages obviously.

Shantotto, Vivi, and Garnet have 6* in the future (dunno if summoners use MAG).

Lunera if you pull one. Light Veritas is our next hybrid afaik.

Planning to farm Rasler and Cupid Art but not too sure if 1 Cupid Art is worth it over farming multiple Elle.

Boring, yes. However, it is 2 free 10% moogles and numerous pots for the month at the cost of like what, 300 lapis? I finish in the top 3k every month since release. Those TM's are invaluable imo.

Damn that's crazy. Do you think it'll be ready in time? I think with Rikku's def buff it should live.

And I would go with multiple Elle personally.

Me too. Never missed a single week or month in the sub 3k group. Stat pots, lb pots and the 2 moogles are worth it to me.

With Lapis refresh yeah. I already have 1 Ashra Talisman. Only need one more, Solona Band gives 10% more def, but will take more time. I'm pretty set with the HP part with 2 30% HP and 2 Hill Diggers. It's only the DEF part that's lacking.

Nice im farming my artemios wilhelm and my 3 rasler for that!
 
My Wilhelm will have that exact build except for 2 C. Artemios rings instead of an Arsha and Aegis Shield because I'm not gonna farm his yet.

Edit: Actually if the trial doesn't come until next week I could squeeze his shield in there by then I think.

Oh. DId a second pull for today with a ticket... Second Zargabaath. lol Yay! Too bad his TM seems too situational. Maybe be useful for a big ten man team with elemental bosses?

Lunera if you pull one. Light Veritas is our next hybrid afaik.

Thanks to both. Both Dark Finas are maxed with them as well. I've been working on Ashe so I may end up just finishing her. I could do Noctis too, though he may be maxed, I can't remember.

Reberta isn't hybrid, right? Maybe I'll finish Ashe and look into finishing Trance Terra, Emperor and Zyrus then...

Regarding TM farming, are most of you doing refreshes? I think I'm about done with both events so I want to take a few days to TM farm, finally. Considering using lapis to refresh to get them done as quickly as possible...with the energy increase I don't think it's as expensive for me as it was before.

O sorry I didn't see the extra defence on Band. Yeah that's probably better then. If you're doing refreshes then might as well.

Giving up on arena rankings was the best thing I ever did, 5 a day and I'm out!
It's mostly a waste. I'm not really into it. I do the 5-10 a day depending on if I have to do coliseum.

Completely agree over here. Changing to 5 a day has made me hate this game less lmao.
 
So if I can finish his shield by next week this should be what mine looks like.

Slightly worried about the water/lightning damage he does, but it should probably be okay. I will probably level his LB as well I still have 2 King pots and 5 or 6 regular ones.

What's the consensus on this next banner? Worth some pulls? The TMs seem pretty meh other than the LB+mp restore for Rikku. I think I might hard pass on this one to save for Nier. I'm not really interested in Lunera enough, and I'm sure I'll get those other units chasing something else someday.

hrmmm weird I thought it always picked the highest stat possible of the most important ones on an Esper. Never paid attention. Mine does have all DEF nodes though so it would be what you posted although 4 DEF is probably not gonna do much in the end. Seeing the 800 though makes me happy, as I was kind of mad seeing 799.

See the HP and other stats in Bonkengs message. I tink you forgot to "Add" those.

"Include trained Stats" -> YES

ohhhhh I always thought it added those automatically. No wonder that thing was never exactly the same as what I ended up with when I actually put together the unit in game. Good to know.
 
On a side note:

Has anyone heard about the "Ariana bundle," where some or all proceeds will go to charity? I don't have any particular need to buy the current bundle, but I'd drop funds willingly on something for charity.

I know it was mentioned a few weeks ago, and the new Ariana event seems like the most logical point to introduce it, but I was just curious.

HP is almost the same thanks to Gigant Axe. But 167 difference in DEF.

WoL has no chance against Aigaion.

I'm sure the upcoming nier banner will provide units that'll make the robo trial easier. Guaranteed they'll have machine killer and maybe even a version of auto-raise.

I should be hoarding for that banner, but I suck at hoarding tickets, rip.

Why are you guys focusing so much on DEF. Isn't SPR is the most important stat against Aiagon?

Yes. Spoilered just in case all the attacks of Aigaion

The Left Arm can only use one action. Every turn, Left Arm uses アームバースト - 1000% ST 1 Hit Physical Attack on the unit with the highest ATK stats (Provoke/Attract can override this). Physical Evade will not work against this.
If hit by a Thunder attack, Left Arm will instead use レフトアームが誘爆した - 300% AoE 1 Hit Physical Attack. (likely to kill you).

Main body
Frequently uses ジェノサイドビーム - 180% AoE 1 Hit Magic Attack.
Thresholds at 70/50/30/10%. On thresholds, Main Body will use 世界崩壊 - 1000% AoE 1 Hit Hybrid Attack.
If hit by a water attack on the thresholds, Main Body will use a weaker version of the attack instead 世界崩壊 - 500% AoE 1 Hit Hybrid Attack.
If Main Body is hit by Water 3 times, Main Body will use 超電磁爆発 - 500% AoE 1 Hit Thunder/Water Magic Attack.

Right Arm only buff/heal or explode if you kill it before the Left Arm

Once again I'm laughing at :

Code:
Ramza, 6.8k hp, only there for singing, [B]but he is definitely crucial and probably irreplaceable[/B]. But i suppose you can try to use a 2nd Tilith, Delita(enhanced), Prishe or Tidus to replace him.

Very curious how we will react to no +2 Ramza
