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

Too bad we can't trade worthless 5* units for, I don't know, a 4* or 3* unit of our choice. Seriously, fuck my dupe Lightning too. Would trade her for literally anything else.

This could be an interesting idea, trade in x amount of base 3/4/5, and get a 3/4/5 ticket back in response. If something like this happened though, all I ask is that we can't get the same unit we traded back /eyeroll...

Hey guys! I've been looking to start this game for a while now, but was waiting for FF7 or more FFX characters. Is now a good time to start or should I wait longer? I'm assuming we are pretty far off of those characters but am not sure.

You just missed the FFX cast (more later, but Tidus/Wakka/Rikku). We also just finished the 1 year anniversary, so that stings too. You could reroll until you get any of the 3 above, but that's up to you~

Being completely honest, this is an awful time to start if you care about rerolling.

A note about chaining but you don't have to have a perfect chaining pair to get the benefit of extra damage. Eileen and Orlandu can still get a small chain even if it's not as good as 2x Orlandu or Orlandu/Agrias, or 2x Eileen.

Are people picking up regenerator and/or reactive defence? The latter looks good to me, the former not so much.
 
Never mind!!

Now my Agrias has World Destroyer for you guys
 
Peeps, I'm still sharing my close to bis olive..
Should I share agrias?
She's un-enhanced though, so I don't know if she will be useful..

6 star Agrias is still good and the event isnt overly hard

Just give her your best stuff and slap on world destroyer, man eater, demon killer etc..
 
My daily was freaking Edgar!!!!!!

Finishing up Bowie Knife #1, then going to start on Aqua Blade #1 for one of my Tidus. I need to figure out the next "game-changing" mastery that I can use these moogles on. Genji Glove at the beginning of anniversary was the last one...

Thanks for the info, guess I'm incredibly unlucky with my timing haha. I'll just check back in a few months and hope it'll be a better time to reroll or start.

uhm.. i'll be the voice out of line here and i'll be frank..

i doubt it will be much better in a few months..
frankly your best bet is to reroll tll you get a decent 5* (aileen, orlandu, etc)..
then abuse gaf (our) units as friend and rampage through the game..
store your resources, don't do any pull, till you're advice to..

i won't mince words..
it will not be very nice in the beginning.
but.. i don't see any major anniversary on the horizon..
summer is pretty much done..
anniversary is done..
everything is done :)
your best bet as i said, is to just try to get the best 5* you can, and then plough through the game as much as you can.. AND stash your resources for the next good banner (e.g. nier? onion knight?)

you have to start somewhere and the earlier the better at the moment..

Yeah, it's true that now isn't a great time to start compared to last month, but I don't foresee any cool new player events rolling up any time soon.

With the Nier banner potentially going live next week, you could probably do worse than rerolling there for 2B (of course if you score an Orlandeau or Fryevia first, so much the better) then leveraging her and GAF friend units to at least get some of the raid rewards. If you could score a 9S and 21O out of the deal then you at least have some valuable limited units on deck.

Next week you'd have the Mog King event still running as well and some people's friend units are capable of soloing the thing, even if you wouldn't get much currency with no bonus units...

I'd say keep an eye on this thread (or FFBE news in general) and if Nier is indeed next week to try jumping in then.
 
Question: I was experimenting on the dummy and found that I can use 3 Ashe, Agrias, and Luneth to regularly get into the high 30's with a chain and between 3-4 million in damage. Does that mean it would do that damage against real enemies? Or is that just dummy damage?

Dummy has, if I recall correctly, 25 DEF and 25 SPR.

Aigaion has 150 DEF and 150 SPR.

Thanks!

Does DEF/SPR work statistically? Meaning, if the dummy has 16% of the numbers like you listed above, could I calculate that my damage would be around 16% of the numbers I'm getting on the dummy?

Or is it done with some other calculation?

1. Guys, are you really telling an interested new gamer that it's a bad time to start? IT IS NEVER A BAD TIME TO START. In fact, the sooner the better.

2. I've managed to avoid pulling over the past few days and suddenly have 5500 lapis and between the summer deal and the event so far I have 15 tickets.

3. Seriously I'm still rolling my eyes at telling a new player to wait for a better time to re-roll. We already have Orlandeau, Fryevia, and Aileen and those will be near tops for what, another 8-10 months? Longer?

4. The best time to start will always be yesterday if you think about NRG opportunities lost, esp for F2P types when it comes to TMs.

5. Start now!

Now my Agrias has World Destroyer for you guys

Wow - congrats, very nice.

Ill try it as well...once i get my hand on a Tillith level healer and a MP battery xD

I really hope that if Ling gets Enhancements that her MP heal includes her as well...lol.

Mog King is going pretty well. Got all the Cacturs and Tickets already, with an additional 40k. I think I will get the Gian Crystals for Support also. Power are definitely going to be the hold block, but if I only pick which ones. I should do well. Currently want to Enhance Luneth, Aileen, Orlandu, WoL, and Ramza. I'll probably enhance my other Base 5s when they are announce at some point and maybe some of the Base 4.

The expeditions are really helping me out a lot too. I'm sitting at 26 Holy Crystals still. Even after spending another, alongside 35 NRG Bottles. It's been wonders since the pots they give too are Tough and Limit, the two I need the most of. It is causing me to bleed money pretty bad, but a raid or two should help. About 2 million down since they started.

Three more of the bundle too, so another 6 tickets for 900 Lapis. I should be able to hit 80ish for Nier with the Portal, Raid, and Daily tickets, which would put me at my highest saved. Had about 75 before Ling Gate.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind another event before the raid. Give us the next Story first. More time for me to fill the coffers.

Long TM Farm is long, but with two Ignus, Rem, and CLuna. My party will thank me a lot and I'll probably clear Ultros once I finish up. I'll probably do Robot after I get Vanilla's TM and one of the DW weapons for Rem. Make it much easier then for her to have the highest attack and lessen my Frey while upping her Mag.
 
Surprised my 2x 5* and 3x 4* Agrias team is able to complete ELT. Now I get to save all those 6* mats and sacred crystals too.

Thank goodness for Manufactured Nethicite.

I hope they cut the cost of Invigorating Dance in half at least, that would be very nice.

Thank goodness for Manufactured Nethicite.

Poor Celes.

On another note, didn't get the mythical 2nd 10+1 ticket some people in Reddit are talking about, so sadness.
Also, just crafted Adventurer III, the last two upgrades are going to be a grind D:

Heres my video of Knight Delita. My most serious analysis... I swear.

Its a shame that delita is in this crappy banner because he is a totally f2p-friendly unit. He is totally a great starting point to new players, and if this banner was split in 2 like the first tactics banner, could be a fantastic reroll opportunity for new players.

Yeah I was surprised at how good he seems to be. The wiki gave him a very high rating too. Gumi didn't even give him extra skills right? I never hear about him on the JP meta but he looks like basically a lightning-themed Orlandu. It's a shame that this banner is a death sentence for him. Nobody will get him except by accident now.

Hey guys what tmr should i get Next? Letters and Arms(my Fryevia only have one), Brotherhood (my Tidus has 874 atk) or the Artisan (Just got Aileen yesterday).

We need more info than that to say for sure but general advice is to get one attacker as good as possible before moving on to the next. Does Fryevia have more than 874 atk/mag? If so, Letters and Arms for her. If not, Tidus.

Grats, you deserve it...your DQXI stream yesterday was pretty awesome...hope i can continue later and watch some more..so good.

That would be fine as well, cant wait for her comeback.
 
Yea Im thinking about doing Aigaion again for World Destroyer, but for now, my Agrias has Bushido Freedom which should do the trick...

Hopefully she's useful for you guys!

Shouta, what's the link to your stream? Would love to tune in sometime...

[JP] Decided I had enough. Tickets were being spent on the attack banner or whatever it is. Rainbow! Gilgamesh #2. Well at least I'll never need dual wields now lol. Really could have done with OK or Du. Alas, not to be today.

Thanks, lol. I'll be streaming again in a few hours.

I just had a look at your stream. So many fighting games haha.

To be clear, it's different from Orlandu's and can't chain with his until she gets enhancements in (hopefully) a few weeks.

honestly.... i wont count on it in a few weeks.... of a few months lmao... agrias enhanced is basically a full fledged orlandeau, so gumi giving us a full orlandeau at the cost of a base 4 star at this point of the game... i dont think so.

I figured Panther has been too busy trying their hardest to save tickets and lapis (good job, i saw those numbers earlier), to notice the whole agrias can't chain with orlandu until enhancements~
