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.

Yeah I almost made the mistake of selling my Defender too. Not a fan of them locking a few of the necessary pieces to make a 100 EV build behind time-limited events while almost making the build a necessity for a lot of the recent trials.

@syntsui Done!

 

[Syntsui]

Fuck, I don't have keys for the Titan fight

I'll use your Basch for the Intangir Kai instead, thanks!

 

[wilstreak]

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%.

Well, that's a good point.

But all this time, I am under the assumption that only select 5* get 7*.

The Reddit thread say that "only 5* have 7* evo available". But doesn't say that "all 5* will have 7*".

And since I don't see Gilgamesh in the first batch of 20 7* (eventhough based on release date, he should be in the middle of those unit, certainly newer than Ramza but older than orlandu).

I hope I'm wrong though and all bases 5* including Yshtola will have 7* and Super TMR.

Wait they are? I thought Rain was a beast?

Rain is good, but appears to be overhyped. Laswell is trash.

I was steadily cruising through the nightmare inner chamber boss when suddenly he decided to wipe my party with a spell. He was around 30% health.

My defenses were up, he was atk + mag broken as well. Any idea why this happened?

Tried it twice and ran into the same problem the first time. It's garbage RNG attack design. Sometimes he'll do the right series of moves to kill you, sometimes he won't. Stuff like this is highly annoying and makes me feel like the devs don't know how to balance this game.

Are you draining his MP? His attacks are based on that so he probably drained your MP and then did his ultra aoe shit the same turn. Happened to me twice. This boss is fucking stupid, just gonna load up on attacker and buffers and go the 60-0 route hopefully.

Yeah just did it again and made sure his mp was drained. Same thing happened. He did his mp drain and the big attack D: this is stupid. Guess I need to bring a rikku or something

 

[udca]

I had WOL with 85% evade, tillith, I Nichol, Zargabaath and double orlandeau.

I'm gonna try switching WOL with a 100% evade soleil and switch Zarg with rikku. Might have to use elixirs to keep my MP up.

A tank is useful, but doesn't seem mandatory with I Nichol.

Can I suggest you something?

Try if you can, to reach 100% evasion without using Ring of Luci, or you will fail the No white magic objective, losing 3 tickets (Counter: Holy)

I get 100% evasion with:
Sworbreaker
Raven's Beret
Twenty sided die
Lucky Bangles
Spirit of Freedom
2x Quick Assault
(Enhancing Endless Turn).

Another suggestion. Put Diablos (and dark resistance) on your highest ATK unit and Ifrit (and fire resistance) on your highest HP unit, reducing possible kills.

Don't forget confusion resistance.

Gonna give it a second try after I learned those things the bad way.

That’s same exact strategy I am using.

100% evade Soleil (Just need 20-Sided Die)
iNichol
Rikku
2x Orlandeau
Ayaka/Tilith Friend

Immune to physical damage, Nichol with the ATK/MAG debuff, Soleil dance with DEF break (wishing Panzer did SPR debuff), Nichol LB w/ HP & MP Regen and Soleil giving 120% buffs so the team can survive magic damage.

Rikku can autorevive for added security or Hyper NullAll for some mitigation.

It’s basically a combo that creates Enhances Ramza and you still have your tank and breaks.

I have Soleil set up the same way once I get my Sazh TM. I just use Zwill Crossblade instead of Swordbreaker.

Soleil was already a monster, but iNichol just unlocked her full potential. They are a great combo.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

I'm really going to spend my lapis going for illusionist Nichol aren't I?

Siiiiiigh

You can still daily and also hope with your upcoming 10+1.

Nichol is here for another 9 days.


You could also just ask one of us to lend iNichol to you for the trial.

That's the plan. On the last day though, I'll be highly tempted. He does seem like a game changer from just one simple skill

[Pejo]

I am kinda enjoying these bosses. I only wish they hadn't added the skeleton key bullshit to make it even longer to try new strategies. It serves no benefit other than to just add another fucking NRG gate.

Also, Halloween is kinda a strange time to add such difficult bosses. These guys both feel like they could have been perma-trial material.

Also, those damn inflated HP #s.

 

[EDarkness]

I haven't tackled the bosses yet, but I'm thinking about doing that tomorrow. I have a bunch of keys saved up since I've been running the dungeon, but not actually using the keys.

What's the deal with the mace vs. the dagger they were supposed to give as a reward for one of the boss fights? Is the mace pretty good?

 

[Euphoria14]

As others have said, his only downfall comes when you need a 100% provoke for ST attacks that target units based on HP, SPR, etc... however, for those just plug in someone else, or bring Ayaka friend with autorevive.

I really like the team options iNichol brings and his LB is awesome. So glad he can use Aigaion's Fist and/or Override too.

If you have a Tilith/Ayaka and opt to bring Rikku friend instead, it allows you to DW with him using Aigaion's Fist & Override with a Mog Wisdom materia for 250% LB fill rate and slap a Rikku's pouch on him to buff LB fill rate even more in the turns where he doesn't really have anything critical to perform.

My plan is to have him able to switch between dual casting Illusions - Redirect/Illusions - Terrifying Visions then hitting with his LB. That should keep my party well protected, even if a ST physical attack goes after someone else while keeping my HP/MP filled.


Enhanced Ramza is obsolete already due to this combo not requiring iNichol to be unusable for 3-turns while buffs and HP/MP recovery is going on. Yeah Soleil will be stuck in an ongoing rotation, but at least she is giving a 20% higher buff as well as performing breaks.

Kind of sucks actually.

 

[Mipcgamer]

The only iNichol I have on my friend's list is Syntsui's, and I can't get him to spawn again!

Can someone please lend me your iNichol for a moment? I can share a 100% enhanced Soleil if needed.

IGN: MIPC
Code: 639.430.058

 

[EDarkness]

Wait, is Nichol supposed to be good for a trial or something? I think I missed something....

 

[LucaMac]

Dammit guys. Why did you have to talk about iNicol so much. I only went and did 25 tickets, a 10+1 ticket and one 5000 lapis pull...I got him in the lapis pull, but I am F2P, thats a serious dent in my stash. 0 tickets and only 6k lapis left after expanding my slots up by 50 units (wasnt arsed dealing with fusing all the trash right now, and slots wont go astray. Only up to 350 now.

I can put mine up, but is there anything in particular you need on him? He's not equipped that well

 

[evangd007]

Certain trials in JP can be cheesed with FF3 Sara because of her AOE evade ability. iNichol has 2x that on his LB, and is also a generally useful unit unlike Sara.

 

[Mipcgamer]

Thanks!
I would just say more SPR than DEF, confusion resistance, nice HP, the usual.

In this case, LB charging equipment is also nice.

Thanks again.

Okay lemme add you. And you say "the usual" but keep in mind I've only been playing since Nier, so I don't have the usual stuff!

Well that was an odd pull. Crowe.

Haha sorry. By usual I just mean survivability stuff. HP>SPR>DEF I guess.

I got iSyntsui to spawn on my friend list, so I'm going to try again.

NP, I added you. I don't know this fight, but I gave him Rikku's Pouch and a Pod.

NP, I added you. I don't know this fight, but I gave him Rikku's Pouch and a Pod.

Thank you very much, I'll add you as soon as I finish this run. I really appreciate it.

Edit:
YES!! Wow, that last 40% is a mess!
Heavy item usage (for MP mostly) and rikku's LB saved me.

Also, this dagger looks weird!

You know what remaining gaf members..... I take back what I said about sticking with exvius until the bitter end. I was thinking about the future of this game, what it entails, the 7* units, the money sink I already dumped into it, and just everything in general. It's REALLY difficult for me to quit something I've been so invested in, but 10 minutes ago I gave myself and the game an ultimatum. I haven't pulled for much since the Nier banner and I had saved up about 22,000 lapis. Thats MONTHS of not using it for anything. But what it amounts to is 4 silly 11 pulls. That's all I get for scrounging and saving. That's a little more than straight up spending $100 on the game. All of this talk about iNichol being a game changer made me decide, I'll pull for em, and if I don't get this little 4* gold crystal unit, I'd quit. Well, 4 11 pulls later, and all I got were 2 pirate jakes. No rainbows. All GARBAGE. Saved for months, and months, and I get trash. I vowed after nier to never put money into this game again and I fear in the future if I save for months and get garbage pulls, I'll just slowly but surely fall to the way side, no longer able to accomplish end game content. Hell, even as a whale I couldn't bring myself to beat Malboro. The main thing is, I'm simply not having fun with it anymore. The end of the season 1 story was good enough for me as a point to end on. This forum splitting up is another facet to me not caring as much anymore. So it comes with a heavy heart, and its hard to say good bye, but I'm deleting exvius for good. I was thinking about just keeping up with dailies, and logging in to collect stuff, but that's just a chore. I don't care anymore, and seriously its not like I was going to play this the rest of my life. I'm done with it, but it was ok while it lasted. Good bye everyone,best of luck with all your future endeavors! Don't give gumi any more of your money, they don't deserve it. This is tough to do for me, but I'm sticking to it. Just a memory now. Farewell.

Fair well.

Cheers, though I'm sad to see you go. 7* does kinda shit all over the future of the game, but I kinda knew it would anyways. I recently gave up a whole handful of gacha games and it feels good, I might just keep going and return to actually playing console/pc games again.

Regardless, good luck to you, you're a good person.

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.

I'm not doing the espers but if you have some space I would appreciate the add.

Sorry to see you quit man. I think the forum splitting up is definitely having an impact on people. It feels weird atm, I never know where to check, here or discord. Right now discord seems like the place to go, but soon it'll be between here, Discord, and "the other site".

In regard to 7*s, this is the most logically balanced post I have seen about the logic behind the new system. Up to everyone on how to interpret that information.

Interesting read, thanks for posting it.

I mean, I get where he's coming from, but this is basically an argument on how to ease the difficulty curve and power creep while maximizing profits, not something we should really be cheering for.

I would have much rather seen 7* be a total customization of any unit, IE how Fire Emblem Heroes handles it. Like if I want to make a badass Shadow 7* with Divine Ruination and Spirit Hand+2, let me do it, for the right amount of unit sacrifices and game currency. Or even limit it more than that, but make it possible. like I'd need 7 maxed Shadows to get him to 7*, then I can pick an overpowered "ninjutsu" skill for him. I dunno, something like that.

Instead, they just make 7* for certain units (most likely 5* bases), and it's just about pulling more of them.

My 7 Olives are ready though, I guess. Turn her into a head mounted nuke launcher.

 

[Shouta]

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.

I missed this yesterday because no one asked me directly, I'm not a mod anymore.

Anyway, it's really weird not having an event in JP but I guess it's time for me to catch up on the big things like story and boss fights.

Really sucks to hear it.

I hit that stage too not too long ago. What I realized is it’s more fun when you don’t care. I haven’t even done Sheretan yet, nor have I attempted this new boss trial.

My pulls suck for the most part, but I don’t care anymore. I spend my tickets when I get them and I try my best to save my Lapis. I’m going all in when Cloud banner drops, saved up 12,000 so far. Hoping to get close to 20,000 if I can.


What I’ve realized though is that I’m probably not getting Ayaka and I sure as shit ain’t getting Cloud either.

Someone on my friends list will though.

As others have said, his only downfall comes when you need a 100% provoke for ST attacks that target units based on HP, SPR, etc... however, for those just plug in someone else, or bring Ayaka friend with autorevive.

I really like the team options iNichol brings and his LB is awesome. So glad he can use Aigaion's Fist and/or Override too.

If you have a Tilith/Ayaka and opt to bring Rikku friend instead, it allows you to DW with him using Aigaion's Fist & Override with a Mog Wisdom materia for 250% LB fill rate and slap a Rikku's pouch on him to buff LB fill rate even more in the turns where he doesn't really have anything critical to perform.

My plan is to have him able to switch between dual casting Illusions - Redirect/Illusions - Terrifying Visions then hitting with his LB. That should keep my party well protected, even if a ST physical attack goes after someone else while keeping my HP/MP filled.


Enhanced Ramza is obsolete already due to this combo not requiring iNichol to be unusable for 3-turns while buffs and HP/MP recovery is going on. Yeah Soleil will be stuck in an ongoing rotation, but at least she is giving a 20% higher buff as well as performing breaks.

Kind of sucks actually.

Does soleil give HP and MP w/dance?

You know what remaining gaf members..... I take back what I said about sticking with exvius until the bitter end. I was thinking about the future of this game, what it entails, the 7* units, the money sink I already dumped into it, and just everything in general. It's REALLY difficult for me to quit something I've been so invested in, but 10 minutes ago I gave myself and the game an ultimatum. I haven't pulled for much since the Nier banner and I had saved up about 22,000 lapis. Thats MONTHS of not using it for anything. But what it amounts to is 4 silly 11 pulls. That's all I get for scrounging and saving. That's a little more than straight up spending $100 on the game.

No, just the 120% all stats buff and a couple of breaks. In my case it’s ATK/DEF debuff. Probably will enhance her other skills eventually, that way I have access to combo of MAG/SPR debuff as well.

iNicol LB grants AoE 2x Physical attack dodge for 3-turns & HP/MP Regen for 3-turns.

Anytime during those 3-turns iNichol casts AoE shield buff, turning your 100% Physical evade Soleil into an evade tank.


This completely replaces Enhanced Ramza w/ WoL tank combinations, all while having a better stat buff and I believe better MP Regen.

Only time this isn’t true is if you need 100% provoke for special ST attacks that attack units based on highest stats.


That’s how I understand it.

another member bites the dust.

But i totally get with the rate. It is downright annoying.

I think I already got 20 yellow in this banner and not even Jake. To make matter worse, I never got any on-banner yellow since Prishe, making a total of consecutive 25 (give or take 2 yellow) off-banner yellow.

That is almost impossible for what should be 25% rate of on-banner yellow.

To make matter worse, the difficulty of the content, even temporary limited content also has steadily increasing that makes specific unit a rather must-own. It is so frustating to not get something that feels needed to even beat normal average content.

Im curious abt the mp regen part. But still, I wouldn't put it as top priority considering the high amount of magic use by bosses these days

I seriously don't blame you, but will miss you!!

Just like Euphoria I totally stopped playing this game seriously, and it's definitely for the better.

Question: what are the best accessories for Ayaka? I can load her up with more HP, I guess, but she's already at close to 9000HP and 450MP, seems like a waste.

I use Arsha's Talisman.

Candy basket works too.
