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

Managed to down the Pumpkin Reaper on my first go around. Got lucky at the end since my A2 backline managed to survive the sweep attacks. Forgot to used the LB at the end though. ::Head desk::

Edit added: oh yeah!! Thank you everyone who is sharing A2!!

Grats! Very curious how tough the last challenge will be for the event.

[JP] Anybody able to put up an 100% evade unit for me to take out 3* Golem? I dont have the tms to make my own...

Are you having problems on the AoE earth damage part or the single target physical part? I don't have 100% evade but I might be able to provide one of those tanks to help you out.
 
Still can't kill ceberus, and reaper spanked me. Anyone have any advice?

Do you have a Rikku?

She's an invaluable unit with her aoe raise LB. As for Cerberus I could set up a unit that can solo it for you. Like Vargas or flame Veritas. Basically you want someone immune to fire.

We’re back! Was a bit weird not keeping up with this community. Didn’t realise we needed an invite for Discord though, I usually just used to join the chat, unless there is a forum?

Sorry for the late reply. Single target physical. I have Earth Veritas and a 130% earth resistant Silt with 100% resistant CG Fina. The single target attacks are the problem. Earth does nothing.

I put up a 100% Evade Chizuru. She has 挑発 because Golem is equipped with her so she should tank him for you.

Ace up. 7k HP, ribbon , pouch and 100% dark element resistant.

Good luck. I tried Malboro again not long ago and rage quit.

Thanks dude. I gave it a few shots but got wrecked. I've been slacking on the TM farming front for a few months now, just farming dupes for space, but going back to serious farming now. Will attempt it again in a couple of months lol.

Cheers. Thank you. I'm doing a run with Visceir's WOL right now, got him down to 70%. Slow but steady. I shouldn't mess it up, but if I do I'll use your Chiz. Will let you know if I complete so you can change back...I haven't looked at Titan yet...would she be useful for that?

Yep, I"m still here too.

How are you guys doing with that ADV pumpkin reaper guy? He handed my ass to me twice already.

I didn't realize he had as much hp as he did until a buddy told me afterwards. The first real fight that made me feel like a whale... zarg, a2. a2. a2. buddy a2... and laswell, and killed him in 4 rounds

Apparently, yes, a provoke tank is good for Titan too but I think he does magic attacks instead of physical ones? I haven't done it myself so I don't know yet.

Cool cool. I might not get a chance to try it tonight now anyway. Looks like I have Golem bar a silly error. Turn 44 with 35% health left. He does get through my defenses every now and again buy WOL still stands. I'm mostly just pressing repeat...

Isn't it a bitch? I'm just going to do it someday when I can one shot it or whatever. It's pure frustration and totally not fun.
 
Bahamut looks like a lot of fun. Blah, slow power creep!

Saw these tips from a Reddit user. Figured it'd be useful to share them here.

"Tips for Bahamut:

Megaflare turn, beef up whoever needs to survive with Spr buff. Don't forget to defend.
Rikku would be super helpful seeing Mistair is not yet available. Rikku would be doing High Mega Bar All and Mighty G Grade most of the time.
Explore around the island to get the 2 Dragon Spears that you can use on your DPS. Those have innate Dragon Killers.
On the last point, you can always choose not to fight Bahamut and clear the area to get the recipe for Dragon Killer Kai.
Fair warning, enemies that get first strike on you might OTKO you with their death and stuff.
You need to fight the phantoms around the island for a chance to get the tail item you need to fight Bahamut.
Beef up Fire, Ice, and Thunder Resist. So the 2 Dragon Shields you get would be useful, along with Dragon Helm for those who can use them, even Dragon Mail.
Bahamut will do Megaflare every 4 turns. On countdown-1 turn, he will do AoE Dispel, so Reraise prior to this would be a waste.
Have as much people with Paralyze Res as possible.
30% HP will make Bahamut fire a no-warning-weaker-version Megaflare."

I'm sticking around here till the bitter end. Just like my plan with exvius :p
I don't really like using discord for this sorta thing. Nothing right now is ideal though.

I'm sticking it out. Even if it will be a former of its old self, its my only internet home.

So weird seeing Shouta in blue. :(

I didn't even realize that color change. Are the old mods no longer mods here?

Thing about GAF is, I've always come here for the gaming side. I liked getting every piece of breaking news in one nice spot. Everything that would pop up on the net I'd see a topic for within a minute. If that stays the same I don't have any reason to look elsewhere. If another site can do what GAF has done for years but better, then I'll book mark that one and compare the two. I guess it depends on who is left in the GAF community to get the job done.

OK, will do!
Fuck, I was managing everything perfectly but somehow I misclicked in the end and didn't apply EV's buff. He wiped me the turn he was supposed to die >_>

I'll try again whenever it refreshes paying more attention. If you want to change your gear in the meantime please move on.

I'm good, I'll leave Chizzy there for a bit.

Finally beat that Pumpking Reaper bastard on 3rd try.

Ayaka
Soleil
Lasswell
Rikku
Orlandu
Friendlandu

No tank strat worked out well. Messed up the LB kill even though I tried, I didnt get it.

I think EV is gonna be my go-to tank from now on. He has 60 more DEF than WoL when fully equipped, plus that AoE damage mitigation.

And I still have Wilhelm waiting for the call, too.

When things went down the other day, all the mods left their positions.

I'm the same. I come for gaming. And it's all neat and compacted here. I'm curious to see how things will go going forward though.

Wait they are? I thought Rain was a beast?

Depends how deeply one dives into the Reddit hivemind.

GL Sakura only really works with another copy of her, and like most limited units, you probably won't see her on a friends list once the Halloween event is over. So, there's that.

DLasswell is pissed on because he uses ice. Fryevia is the superior rainbow ice damage dealer still through 4x L&A stacking, so.... he's an automatic "nope" to many. (Hell, one of the Should You Pull replacement threads, has him at an "F" rating because of this conflict, alone.)

DRrain: Enhanced... is solid, but not quite game-breaking (at least that's what the "hype analyses" claim at the moment on Reddit). However, he's hampered by being a 1 in 400 pull chance.... AND requiring millions of gil + tons of enhancements all to +2, AND a full set of top-tier or BiS gear to even get him into the discussion about being good. Short of it is that because he is on a split double rainbow banner, and a unit tuned to abilities from a full year ago that needs a crapload of enhancing to "fix", it's simply too much effort over simply pulling the next "DPS unit of the week" straight out of the box.

If you have DRain or somehow win the ultra-lottery for him, then it's up to you if you want to commit to the investment. Frankly, given his extreme rarity, I would if you had him to make him useful, but that's me personally and not most of the Reddit population.

I can make a 100% EV Basch or make him a magic tank with over 10k+ hp on JP. If anybody needs him gimme a shout.
Are we friends? 366404728 (unless you are Razel in game /hmm).

The more available the better, so I can try Titan later too lol. Make him an evade tank with golem.

Many mods did, but not all of them.

Evilore said:
Moderation will also see changes. Over the years, moderators changed from simply people who made sure discussion stay civil into personalities. It's because of that, many were targeted for harassment and other things. This shouldn't be happening to them. We've taken action to protect these people by making moderation anonymous. There will be no more red-names that single them out nor will there be a list of who is one.

No one (that's not a mod or Evilore) knows who the remaining mods are and we will likely never know. Shouta could still be a mod for all anyone publicly knows at this point.

I'm personally not jumping the gun on bailing out of this forum, either. I'll also wait and see how the fallout plays out. I'll jump on Discord when I can from time to time. That said, I'm highly skeptical about all the splinter forums that are planning to be out there and how many actually successfully take root and survive more than a week or two. Let's see what happens after a week or so and calmer heads finally start prevailing and what the landscape looks like then.

Heck, out there on Gaming-side, a lot old communities are already trying to re-establish themselves.

in simple term, i like to thing pulling out Rain and Lasswell as pulling unit without future because their future is already here.

Meanwhile you can pull other new rainbow including Sakura and you can be sure that he/she will have better future (via enhancement) waiting for them.

That's line of logic would be sound assuming that DRain and DLasswell don't receive 7* forms in the future. However, as these are in-house units for Gumi and not a external collaboration, the odds of these units being around next Halloween for their 7* form is all-but-100%.

Just to reinforce this, both of the units have an empty space after their 6* form in the unit list. As do Olive, Zargabaath, A2 (omg no collab unit will have 7* form Gumi/Alim/Blizzard fix PLZ????), et cetera.

I hope people weren't under the impression that 7* forms were just thought of a couple weeks ago.

I need to get enough gear for a 100% Cover tank. ;_;

I'm lacking a few things like mistakenly selling my Defender and not having any of the standard dodge TMR from Yda. Of course, no Ring of Lucii.
