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

Great, we just need Wilhelm, Elza, Rikku, and two Frys.

Have all except willhelm and second frye so it will have to be my WOL and second fry from friend. Challenge accepted!

I'll be ready to share my Fry as well but she doesn't have her tm done yet. Sitting at 60%. Wonder how quick I can get 40% done lol. She sits at 740 mag with DW and 8xx without.

So the best case scenario will be

Wilhelm
Rikku
Elza
Tilith
Fry x2

Thats the base. From here we can make another strategies for other people that doesnt have all the units.

Awesome. I have all of them.
Except Wilhelm, Elza, Tilith, and not even one Fry. ;_;

Was this the one for 47.99 USD? If so I bought it, it was a good bundle, not the best but good.

Yes. I think I will pass. I haven't spent any money on this game other than the launch bundle. I think I'd rather buy a full price game then use it to potentially get a unit that will be outclassed as time goes on.

Everyone talking about Wilhelm and I'm just here not planning to run a tank lmao.

Let's be honest though, no one is doing this without Lunera...have I secretly converted to #Team90% lol?
 
This isn't a spoiler as you find out right at the beginning of the game but
they're androids. Aliens came to earth and sent robots to kill humanity. Humans went to the moon and built androids to fight for them
. And that's why we have to fight Aigaion.

Yep they are all androids/robots and the name is their designation. The letter is their 'type' (S for support, B for...I guess battle) and the number is basically their serial number. A2 is an earlier prototype, which is presumably why her letter and number are reversed, or just to better differentiate her from 2B. The JP Nier event was a raid so unless they really put in the effort ours likely will be as well. Adam was in the raid summon so I'm hoping the new global exclusive units will be too and we won't have a 5 unit banner. Either way you can at least get Adam for free, and some of the other raid rewards were nice from what I remember.
Ok that's what I figured, makes sense then. That's cool that there's a unit named Adam since it's my name #dumbreasontokeepaunit too bad he's not the super powerful beastly unit of the bunch :p Oh, Aigaion is from Nier? Didn't realize that. That all but seals the deal that Nier is next.

GAF, what's the order of TMR hunting you guys are doing?

Equip best DPS, then equio best DPS 2, then Healer, tanker and, finally, Rikku?

Or should I go for DPS #1, Rikku, Healer, and then the rest?

2 DPS and then work on a bunch of HP related TMs, will probably get you the best bang for your buck until you catch up. Survival is the name of the game in almost all of the harder fights.

We have some really solid lower rarity HP TMs now like Hill Digger, Rasler's stuff, the free Palypipmo or w/e ones from the last FFXIV raid, etc. They're all good long term investments and have supplemental stats opposed to just HP+30% from Amarant (which is still good).

Just my 2c.

S = Scanner
B = Battle

Get it right! j/k :p

then later you find another letter designation which was kinda dumb but whatever.

I have a feeling A2 will be like DKC requiring using up own HP to do dmg like in the game.

People thinking Wilhelm will carry them through this fight might be in for a rude awakening come trial day.
Yep, in the video I linked before, you need 11k HP, 850 DEF and 54% damage mitigation.
Maybe with some luck and Rikku's 30% mitigation, but basing a few hours fight on that will lead to headaches x)

Here's the thread and video :
https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/5qnsgj/jp_wilhelm_vs_aigaions_left_arm/
https://youtu.be/gw7ERG3K0cE

30% mitigation is enough for the big attack but the tank will die to the main body afterward.

I think I'll do this.

I'm actually getting the beating of my life in the Gilgamesh trial... probably because I lack those hp+% materias. I only have 10 and 15% ones.

Are you following one of the guides to beat Gilgamesh? There are very, very specific means to beat him, and if you are just trying to wing it even the best units will get destroyed by that trial.

I think I tried following this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74zeeKEaWKo

One thing that I'm quite curious is the fact that over the last... 2 to 3 weeks, my team as a whole changed almost entirely.

Wol, Tilith, Rikku, Eileen and Olive are my brand new team. So, I haven't tried the Gilgamesh trial with them! I'm hoping for an improvement on things, haha!
 
After glancing again at Tidus' enhancements I was salivating and then felt great despair when I realized what the total cost in gil will be.....I knew it was supposed to be expensive but wtf? Especially when you want plus 2 on all his upgrades...That's not even factoring in WoL's ;_; I remember Shouta saying they have events that earn you tons of gil but we aren't seeing that yet. Hopefully it will soon to start racking up. Bless macro farming, only reason I have much gil in the first place haha It's going to be so bizarre going from gil is whatever, I'm rich bitch to upgrading one unit and being broke. I don't want that M.C. Hammer life.

You guys have fun with the robot, considering I haven't even beat Echidna and Ultros yet, don't care about him anytime soon. The question is, can I finally beat these two trials now that I have Tidus, Rikku, and WoL at 6*? Wish all my TMs for Tidus were done...At least Dark Knight's Soul is close, thanks to moogles. That will be a nice boost along with the cowl.

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.

Urgh, wish I could do that. If I see Orbs I have to use them up in the Arena until I'm going to sleep :(.

Damn I've got Vaan two days in a row for the daily pull, quite annoying. Nothing exciting going on for me to share, just usual Raid/Event stuff although I'm really enjoying having Expeditions and the rewards it brings.

I am starting to get nervous about the Robot Trial though :/ could this be the first Trial I hit a roadblock on...hopefully not, but we will see.
 
I'm sitting on 35 million bro. Pro tip - sell raid coin stacks. Thank me later.

What the heck? They sell for that much??? I don't think I looked into how much a raid stack sells for. What does the current one rate at? 500k? Probably not quite that much ha This raid is supposed to have poor rewards even after the enhancement, right? Could start that process now if so :D


Oh snap! I forgot that you get a solid GS for clearing the Aurora Key vault...I should use a guide to get that sucker to pair it with GS Mastery and that way I won't have to wait until STQ mastery completes. Yeah, definitely should make this a priority. I need to unlock the black key vault while at it.

I am at 50 million Gil at the moment, it is so easy to earn. I thought explorations would start to make a big dent in it, but I have actually still gained even though I do them as often as they pop up. I will probably have about 1.1-1.2 million raid coins by the end of it also that I could sell for another 11-12 million if I really want to. Use your FP summons and sell them when you hit the cap. I at least once every other day summon 10k worth of FP units and then sell them. I will couple that with some pooptaurs I pull from the raid summon to get even more for them. A stack of raid coins 99,999 sells for 999,990 gil.
 
It's good to hear there's a way to make serious money. I don't recall exactly what I have but I want to see it's only a few mil or so. I used to do the FP summon thing in earlier days, give them the tiny cactuars to max them out at their respective starting star and sell them but hadn't bothered ever since TM farm mat selling sky rocketed my gil from when it was a struggle to gigantuar a unit haha Humble beginnings. Anyway, I'll from now on analyze how valuable the raid summon contents are and sell what I don't need. Thanks for the tip, guys!

Yep I'm hoarding all the things for Nier banner.

Also my daily pull was Noctis, couldn't believe it. At some point I need to do a write up when I have time on what I have because I need some advice on who to use, not entirely sure who to put on the team.

I'm running Noct ATM but when I feed Orlandeau some pots I'll be giving him dual wield and maining him!
 
Same here, saving all for Nier. Need to get more lapis but hesitant to do so right now. Kinda wish Amazon Coins were discounted a bit more. Really annoyed they never had a prime day deal. But yes, Nier banner is it!!

That's a hell of a daily, grats! Post your setup and we'll tweak it.

Buddy had a very odd... uhh expedition result >.>; as in the stats got warped, shame they didnt stay that way :p

Kinda wish Gumi would do a TM banner in parallel with the next Player's Choice banner. It's not like Ingus, Abel, or Snow are going to show up on a regular player's choice but I desperately need more of them, particularly Ingus.

I pretty much only use my (regular) tickets for 4*s so it was worth it for me as I won't be pulling this week and I really wanted her for some team ideas I have. I still have 53 tickets left (+ 1 4*) though so hopefully should be able to pick up 9S.

I use my lapis when I'm pursuing 5*s, but I don't really like 2Bs moveset in this game. And the theory is A2 will be in the raid gacha so if that's true my 45k lapis is safe for now.

9S' own mitigation is 30%. HIs TM mitigation is 40% Physical damage only.

So he has the same mitigation as Rikku. However, the Physical mitigation stacks with the general one.
Wow, that is insane physical damage mitigation.

9s's limit break only cost about 16 crystals! I can do the same setup like my Rikku and give him 3 jacks, and one Kelsus's TM. Rikku and 9s together are unbeatable! I didn't want to pull for the Nier banner but 9s is to hard to pass up... but the rates are going to be Brave Frontier shitty, and I don't really want a Tillth 2.0 debacle.

It's how I was able to beat Aranea in JP without cheesing her with an evade unit. I stacked both an all-purpose mitigation with the physical one. WOL was taking super low damage when both were up, lol.

Hm, so have Rikku wear 9S's TM and repeat Mix->HyperNullAll->P-Shield->LB until you win?

Actually nm there are some pretty critical gaps in that series. The Mix step will never have damage mitigation, the first cycle doesn't have reraise up until turn 4 and then it will be off on every P-Shield turn. Seems like you can't have Rikku do it all for you, even if it's fun to consider turning someone into the support god with Rikku and 9S's TMs.

This is how I would use this combo...

9s wear his own TM or somebody else. I know that 9s has his own but the extra 10 percent helps and you just want Rikku and 9s to do their thing.

This is with 3 jacks TMs and Kelsus's TM


1st turn: Rikku - Mix and 9s - 40% damage mitigation
2nd: Rikku - HyperNull and 9s - 40%
3rd Turn - Cast LB for both
4 turn - Rikku Mix and 9s - 40% damage mitigation
5 turn - LB

You can pretty much repeat that.

Nice Elza o_O.

I need to use Support Cryst for Refia. Yesterday we were discussing in Discord about Refia enhancements. They are quite expensive, but there is possibility that Gumi will nerf them down.

Anyways Refia will have one nice enhancement that is worth to grab unless you have better healer.


Talisman of Kazus +2

+100% Silence / Paralyze / Confuse / Petrify Resist & Recover 5 MP per 5 steps & Recover 5% MP per Turn

13x T3 Support cryst
3x T4 Support cryst
1x T5 Support cryst

With that + Soluna Ring Refia gets 10% MP refresh per turn and some status immunitites. Dont bother with the other enhancements, Full Life MP cost down is awful expensive 6x T4 & 3x T5.

This will get me more time to use Refia who sadly is mediocre at its best (even with almost full tm geared). Ayaka (heh 5*) cant come soon enough.

Its time to let Refia to be benched. Gumi could bring new 4* healer that is Refia on steroids.
