After that debacle with the free 5* 10+1, 3 10+1 pulls and 1 5* Ticket being dupe emps, ramza and a queen

A bit of redemption. not as salty now.

are you me?
i got Dupe Lightning, dupe Ramza and Queen too at that time.

Now i am waiting for my Tidus, c'mon Gumi

This is one monstrous Elza. Never imagined she could get her atk this high.

This is really interesting. Did you also screencap the materia they were using? I might be able to mimic this setup right now.

I've said it multiple times but I'll say it again: not everyone has Ramza, so for them Lunera is a good pick up because Ramza isn't coming back on a banner.

It's likely that Lunera will be enhanced at the same time as Ramza (and it's unlikely that that will be soon. I said September before but still hesitant on that) so people without Ramza lose little if that turns out to be true.

I hit claim all, have ~250 to burn through, every so closer to Fryevia's sword!

I posted a warning!

I was absolutely dead set on hard pulling Lunera all yesterday, I was really looking forward to the big Friday pull, but now I'm going to completely skip her... probably.

My thought was that she would get something in between +1 or +2; 60-80% just to keep her relevant. +40% stat buff is completely pointless given its no better than even Rain's Leadership (Or Tilith's Celestial Light) with minor healing, and she's completely immobile for 3 turns. Having an attack unit immobile for 3 turns is absurd unless the payoff is good.

But good magic attackers are always welcome. Her buff/nerf to her Arrows is interesting. She peaks at 6 turns vs 10 turns but is stronger each turn. Meaning she's 25% weaker at peak than JP, but climbs faster. While I wish GL maxed at 8 turns so that it matched up in max output, its a necessary adjustment.

However, given her unique frames, and given her unique dual elements, she really needs more than one of herself to chain up. So getting at least two of her is going to be crucial. I really wish her Areola ray was Holy with either Fire or Lighting instead of Wind, so that Ace would be able to act as a elemental imperial for her).

Ramza enhancements was released last September (2016) in JP, meaning his enhancements were released a month before the JP anniversary. Zarg is obviously meant as an expensive stop-gap to bridge the delay. Which much like WoL is likely going to go on a while. GL meta definitely is more balanced, if not a little more drawn out.

It makes sense now. No wonder it's dual element.

Power of creation, ATK+30%, Quick Assault x2, Wisdom (or whatever combination) and of course Dark Reaper +2

Dark Reaper is a fairly cheap upgrade, but man those other two would pretty much annihilate my power crysts. Still might do it, I've always been fond of Elza, and a 60% break is nice. Hmm...

In other news, thanks to the influx of TM moogles, I finished off my Brotherhood and another Quick Assault. After Zarg isn't useful as a bonus unit anymore, my Tidus will be a monster.

Also, I'm really damn excited for the Noct re-buff. Hope we get it soon. I'm working on Ring of the Lucii finally for TMs, it's the last piece I need to 100% evade one of several units.

ok lets do crazy math:

Lunera SPR is 175
passives 80% 140
Reincarnation bow 68
Black Cowl 25
Rainbow Robe 45
Magical crest x2 60% 105
Mentality x4 120% 210

Total SPR 768

Lunera MAG is 300 with same build


So the healing of her song is: 1350 + (768 x 0,5 + 300 x 0,1)x10 = 5490/3 = 1830 all turns. A free curaja

Her MP heal of her song is: 30 + (768 x 0,5 + 300 x 0,1) x 0,6 = 278,4/3 = 92,8 MP all turns.

Broken imirite?

Yeah it's expensive but all her enhancements are quite useful.

Madness Rush +2 together with her TM will deal insane amount of damage. 1,600% damage without even needing a chain.

Why Mentality?

Why not Healer's Wisdom (40%)?

With Healer's Wisdom, you get a nice capped +300% spr.

Congrats! He's awesome and a great addition to my team so far. Trying to get him geared up now, but I realize there aren't a lot of good basic swords right now.

I was testing out Ashe's Heaven's Fury and with the new android tech it sparks chains. Going to test out a few more less used units to see what other options this opens up.

Her MP heal of her song is: 30 + (768 x 0,5 + 300 x 0,1) x 0,6 = 278,4/3 = 92,8 MP all turns.

Damn...

Glad I have her on JP lol.

Problem is nobody need 100 MP heal per turns, you'd think all those trials that steal you MP but it procs at the end of your turns so the MP get sucked again.
HP heal is nice but you decide if it's worth it to be stuck to heal 1800 HP per turns for 3 turns.

That's why she needed 60% stats boost,

Damn bonkeng.
Please set her as leader for the last day of moggle raid <3

0.
Holding the raid summon till the higher success enhance rate is up to do it.
Almost 1mil coin now.

Wut?

You're going to want to spend the Raid coins before what is it, the 21st, because that is when it disappears. Not like you get anything amazing out of it anyway. But at least you can get the mats to make anything should you decide to.

I went ahead and made a Spear and Crown in case. Also made the Ability we could only make one of and 5 Mog Reists. Not like these mats are going anywhere else for anything else.

You should make as many Spears as you can. And equip your spare units with them as they give extra % for expeditions.

I don't do Expeditions. It's like Garrisons in WoW. I hate them and don't really feel like doing that shit. So after first day or so, I've just not done any.

Raid drops cactuars and with higher fuse success rate event you'll get more out of those.

Also -- the most important thing to get from the raid would probably be the Mog TMs.

Are we referring to waiting until the higher rate on fusing? That's different. I got the feeling it was referring to rate of stuff you pull than the fusing rate. If you wait on that, that's cool. I am just ready for the Raid to end though. Worst one yet for everything really.

Mog's TM... is lackluster at best. I have 2 or 3 so far, but they'll rot away I'm sure.

Daily was Rasler #4. Sure, I'll take it. I can make a full TM set for WoL now. +120%hp and +80%def baby! (and 220% total light resist for the hell of it)
 
I really did not want to Enhance Elza but I think I'm going to as it will make Agion much easier.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/6mkfyl/post_your_aigaion_line_up_your_a_team/

In that thread people are discussing their proposed setup and I am going to run it as follows, no tank but elza will tank by having highest attack and just spam her self rez. Tilith for Tilith things, Rikku for Rikku things aka group auto raise, Rem for dagger boomerang spam, re-raise back up, dps, and heals, my soon to be OP Fryevia and hopefully a friend Fryevia unit.

Thoughts?
 
Personally I will probably wait a few days on the trial to see what is going on. For sure I will use Rikku/Tilith, and then either Fryevia if the ice resist doesn't change or Aileen if it does. After that I dunno. Rem would be fine as a finisher so I guess her. I still prefer Olive because she is easy as shit to finish with, but not using Sparky so Rem is probably the better choice anyway. If the body can be 1HKO with double Fry I will probably bring both of mine, and use a friend Elza so i don't have to enhance her as i don't really want to. If the ice resist is changed, I will probably go the slow route, and just bring a tank.

Edit: Oh wait her break goes from 50/55/60. Nevermind that isn't enough for me to use crysts on anyway. I thought it was lower initially. The extra damage she herself does is irrelevant in my opinion.

I think everyone should sit tight for a week and see what changes are made to the GL version of Aigaion before doing anything particularly drastic, personally.

Why would you need to enhance Elza in this scenario? If you're using Elza as the high-ATK tank, she's going to have higher attack than Rikku, Tilith and 3 MAG characters. You don't need to enhance her stuff because she's just going to be dying every turn, right?

If it's for Ravaging Blow I'd wait until we actually get the trial. SPR breakable in JP doesn't necessarily mean SPR breakable in GL. Ice weak in JP doesn't necessarily mean ice weak in GL. Et cetera.

It's fun watching everyone get so excited about trial prep and all, but...

So what you're saying is do work while I"m at work instead of theory crafting? I thought we were bro's?!?!?! Fine, I'll go do work but I won't like it!

Seriously though you are right in the fact that we'll have to wait and see as gumi always has a nice surprise for GL and who knows what it may be. I'm just bored of one turning Mog King Counter attack and am so ready for the next challenge.

Haha, I totally understand! And then this week is a story event that we'll be done with in two days, so then it's right back to the theorycrafting.

I think switching up your TM farming priorities to finish off that Edgar who's been sitting at 84% after all the dupes you've been shoving into him, or getting that last Letters & Arms for your Fryevia, or finishing off Rikku's TM... is all good. But Moogling a TM or enhancing someone, you can safely wait on.

I'm not saying don't theorycraft, but keep it theoretical until we know what we're dealing with!

Iam fully expecting Global Robot to resist everything else than non elemental and Water (just to troll people going for Water build).

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I like tackling trials the minute they're out. If I fail the first or second time, that's the time I'll wait and see what needs to be done. Nothing beats the feeling of beating a trial boss without relying on any one else's strategy.

It's like playing an rpg game with a strategy guide beside you. Not fun.

machine killer is done, sadly only have one. I need one or two or 5 more Ingus for more L&A, I only have 3 and I have TT and Fry. Rikku's TM is at 90% right now and will be done in the next two days. Also have a Queen, a second vestment of mind and hp+30% cooking as well. That will give me 4 hp+30%, 2 being Hill Digger so my tank will be beefy as hell when I need to stack hp.

If the game didn't have an NRG system I would do this, and I usually do anyway. The only one I didn't do the first day was the Ultros trial, and it was more because I didn't give a shit about the rewards enough to care to do it. I actually waited a month or so before I stopped being lazy. For the robot I just want to know what the changes are so if they do buff the ice resist I don't want to waste 50 damn NRG trying to kill it with Fryevia's hitting it with a wet napkin.

Everyone in here itching for a trial. Did you all forget about the Cid trial coming tomorrow? Unlike the robot, that one will actually be doable, and you can try out your 15k hp Wilhelms or w/e.

Tried Ultros Trial and that thing spam Acid Rain 2 turns /3 despite me never touching him, I must be doing something wrong. Want to do it by myself without friend unit.
Comforting me in my decision to never touch a trial again until Ramza's enhancement. And I guess Onion Knight will be there by the time Gumi judge Global worthy of the singing meta.

In before they delay Onion Knight because lol too strong.

Hmmm...you've got some tough choices to make. Why not go ahead and finish off Wakka since you only need 5%. Just get the 5 1% moogles from the event. Power of Creation is nice, I ended up going after that and got it a couple of weeks ago. Not sure how it holds up in the long run, though. The Masteries seem like the most logical ways to go since they add so much to a character.

Oh, and Amelia's TMR adds Gunslinger which is 30% ATK if the unit is equipped with a gun. Pretty awesome for her if you intend to build her up.

Hm, has anyone noticed a correlation between using expedition advance tokens and getting amazing success? I've used tokens twice to instantly complete expeditions (when I screwed up and sent the wrong character) and both times I got amazing success.

not sure how established/new you are, but this is what I feel like your to do list should look like... id also only complete wakka if you have a unit that can actually use of the throwing weapon. since you have moogles to max 2, and no attack materia, i'd recommend maxwell and queen for some hefty boosts first.

Ah someone else joining in on the no tank strategy. I definitely think it's a viable plan.

If you're whaling for 2B are you not planning to use her in some way? Innate machine killer ++ and also has self auto revive.

If she is indeed out by then she will absolutely be used and will replace Rem.
 
My Strat for robot at the moment

Elza - Initial Punching bag. Spr break when ready to rush down

Fryevia - If they dont alter Robot she is the hard counter to the robot. Ice Imperil, Attack SPR along with the SPR debuff and can chain. SHould do massive damage

Rikku - General survivability and reraise LB

WoL/Cecil - Tanking, dispel and whatever else I need him to do

Ystola/Noctis - Torn on this one. Depending on how effective the rushdown is I may opt to pair Noctis with Cecil. General support, buffing, revive and healing for either one. Ystola is nice for her LB but crystals are at a premium. Noctis is more vaulable after the body goes down if I build him and RIkku for Perfect dodge


So my basic plan splits two ways but the first thing I want to try is a rushdown right off the bat. I need to gauge just how effecting Dual Fry is with all buffs and debuffs on. If I can 1shot or 2shot the boss then Ill lean towards having Noctis (maybe even have him tank) the following rounds with the 2 arms.

The other plan is to play safer and see if I can turtle the first few turns and use counters to build LB crystals. Then go for rushdown with Yshtola Damage mitigation, buffs debuffs and reraise

It all comes down to how and if gumi adjusts Aigaion at all to counter Fry

Because otherwise she might just be able to wreck the body in 2-3 turns with the right setup

Those of you with Zargabaath and Fry could have the maximum DPS rush build. Hero Crest and Minfilla 100% MAG boost to both yours and a friends Fry. Solid SPR break and you are off to the races on turn one

You would just have to have a recovery plan which would basically be what your last two slot fillers would do

Rikku is easy to get perfect dodge on and she will be immune to the arm that goes crazy. You would just need a healer that can tough it out and DC raise while the punching bag goes down until you systemically drop the arms
