[JP] Anybody in Japan able to put up a 130% fire resist dps (or healer) for me to take down ifrit 3*? Came close a few times but 5 man with shiva being on someone for thr rewards is crippling me...Yes, I could leave the summon shiva mission, but Im 5% away from Onion Knights sword and I want it now dammit!! Can get my Mistear to 115%, but still wiped on the last run. Whoever gets shiva gets massacred...

That moment when you realize that you never picked up the Underground Key to to create Override for Rikku.

Please someone kill me.

Oh right lol. My current party
Cecil
Noctis
Ashe
Rem
Rikku/Agrias

As for units, I have 3 each of:
Amelia
Ingus
Leon
Illias
4 Graces
Seven
4 Hayates
Locke
Elle
Camille
2 Gaffgarions
2 Soleil

The rest are one of Jack, Trey, Abel, Chizuru, CoD, Kefka, Miyuki, Kelsusand Xiao. The rest are just bad units lol. Oh and I have 6 extra Cecils.

The next one your priority should be Chizuru.

You will get Large Sword Mastery + Genji Blade from gilgamesh trial.
The next step is to get Blade Mastery from Chizuru so that when you wield Genji Blade (or Katana), you will get additional 50% Attack.

Aside from that, i think you might want to consider 9S TMR (4* unit from Nier Banner, which is supposedly will come next week, who knows?!). It is a very desirable TMR that give your unit great ability like chain and damage mitigation.

Amelia TMR is BiS only if you have Olive or in the future Balthier
Leon TMR is decent alternative to Chizuru, but Chizuru is still better and more flexible
Geffgarion and Grace TMR is very good too, but they are not the the most important.

Oh right lol. My current party
Cecil
Noctis (this one has a really good tm, more for tanking though)
Ashe
Rem
Rikku/Agrias

As for units, I have 3 each of:
Amelia (not bad, but not needed atm)
Ingus (not needed at this time)
Leon (this would be alright)
Illias (no)
4 Graces
Seven (youll want this eventually)
4 Hayates (this would be alright)
Locke (pass)
Elle (later... offensive before defensive)
Camille (maybe, you dont seem to have a dual wield)
2 Gaffgarions (yes, both singles very much yes)
2 Soleil (nah)

The rest are one of Jack, Trey, Abel, Chizuru (yes to this), CoD, Kefka, Miyuki (id say yes, but you're better off getting a genji from gilgamesh trial), Kelsus and Xiao. The rest are just bad units lol. Oh and I have 6 extra Cecils.

so with what ive mentioned
double gaffy
hayate
leon or camille
chizuru

that'd give a lot of extra umph to your main dd


edit, you dont get large sword mastery from gilgamesh, but from dark espers

You guys should prepare your bodies for buffed Noctis, his LB will be batshit insane and we can easily use it every single turn with the TMs we have available.

Was something mentioned or is it just assumed? Ive maxed his LB too and considering using Tidus as an entrust bot once I have the time...him being able to manage by himself though, that would be class. Wouldnt need to worry about Ramza or Lunera for a while...

It was part of the Paris Fan Festa questions to the producers, they said there wouldn't be any more nerfs and are going to buff Noctis.

EDIT : I translated all the question/answer back then

I'm watching someone doing a full summary in French of the fan fiesta, so he said first question was "Why no Balthier?"
Prepare to cry because they said
he was too strong for us at the moment.

Q2 : why no Lorraine = same as above, coming later
Q3 : why Noctis was nerfed = too strong, they are working on buffing him.
Saying there would be no more nerf because it complicate stuff to buff them later.
Q4 : will exclusive units get enhancements = well duh Elza just got some.
Q5 : will Sephiroth be there = they instantly said yes.
Q6 : Dragon Quest? = NO
 
(JP). Just did a final multi on the BD banner for a last ditch effort at Tiz. Double rainbow. Lightning (why) and Roy (yay). That is 7 Rainbows on the banner and all off. Jesus, now I'm not sure how I feel about the 3% rate lol.

Helmless Kain seems interesting, with multiple moves that provide strong imperils for multiple different elements (Wind, Water, Dark). Also interesting in that he has a version of these moves that act as dispel and then applies the imperils thereafter in the same move. That right there has value. 40 ATK TMR helm is nice, too.

Kid Rydia... humm.... One one hand, I'm laughing that her TMR is literally +40% MAG tacked onto the craftable +10% EVO MAG. If a person is going to go so far as to equip EVO MAG materia, their focus is not going to be on casting other spells. On the other hand, people are already talking about potentially very strong synergy with William via Quake. Guess the numbers will tell the fully story on this one from the datamine tomorrow.

-- first I'm hearing of anyone actually liking Noctis' TM, but excited to see it will get a buff in the future.

-- that said as a jack of all trades I would easily recommend him to new players looking for a unit that can carry them through all but the toughest events and trials.

-- we did have a 6* unit ranking around here somewhere...

-- sitting at 5500+ lapis and 21 tickets now. Summer deal is legit. What am I saving for again?

If they do buff Noctis' TM and LB, I'm so fucking golden. His JP LB for reference, " 1480% ST 5 Hit Physical Attack & AoE 2 Turn +124% ATK/DEF/MAG/SPR & Self 2 Turn 30% Damage Reduction"

His Ring will also be A1 Prime for Fryevia, but I still don't believe they said anything about the TM.

General question... Assuming Olive is the only damage dealer in my team and équipées with Sparky. Which friend lead would be optimal to combo with when I wanna achieve the highest damage?

probably Ace enhanced because that beautiful -75% fire/lightning/holy resistance

Whoa, I didn't realize Noctis LB was that much different in JP. Very intrigued if they're just gonna switch him to the JP version, and how that would even occur. Just patch the game or through ability awakening somehow? Who needs a bard when you can just nuke everything and get a 124% stat increase!

The MP and HP regen from bards are much more important though. The stats are just the topping. With this set up we will have the the biggest AoE buff + the battery from bards + someone with elemental coverage + tank + dps. We will be steam rolling anything.

I decided to wait wit evolving Olive and instead try to level up her LB a bit first.
Its not a big difference but she will likely be my stongest damage dealer for a while and getting her to LB lvl +10 or so should be possible.

I wanna level and invest in Ilias...dont know why no one talks about him but i find his skills quite amazing....sure he isnt the best in class for most suff - but he has alot of useful tools at his disposal. He seems to be a much better MP battery than Ling.
probably Ace enhanced because that beautiful -75% fire/lightning/holy resistance

Hah nice - thats something i had in my mind as well.
Based Rixa !and his ridiculous Ace then !!

you can also do it yourself and dont depend of a friend unit and enhance a Seven's Elementlash. Her elementlash+2 debuff fire/ice/lightning -70% and with that you can do maximun damage any time you want.

My main account:

Reberta : Main damage (TM spear 95%) (Dual wield TM)

Willhem / WoL : Tanks ( noTMS )

Rikku / Minfilia : Support ( no TMs )

Tilith : Healer ( no TMs )

Zyrus : Magic ( noTMs )


Other 6* Units : Lasswell, Rain, Fina, Folhen, Setzer and I am working on Amelia.

What Tm should i pick next ? I am thinking Black cowl or Wilhelm shield, Chizuru TM is kinda useless on my team right? Or should i pick RIbbon/Tilith tm?

That loli Rydia TM will be disgusting on summoners, whew
+40% MAG, +20% SPR, +10% Evo MAG

Loreal Kain TM will also set a new standard for helmets (RIP Fohlen saving grace)
+40 ATK, +28 DEF, +20% Water/Wind Resistance

BTW why the fuck his TM is a helmet if he is helmetless? lmao

True, i have Seven but for this scenario i wouldnt have any spot for her on my team and i probably dont have the Crystals needed to awaken her ability.

I was just wondering what friend captain would be the best choice if i only care about overall damage. Hell...maybe ill need look into Seven again i max level her 6* version anyway, perhaps the Elemenslash costs arent that high xD

Refia/Rikku
Wilhelm/WoL
Olive/Friend(Ace)

is what im working towards right now.

Edit:


Just saw Elementalslash needs PowerCryst as well. Yeah im passing on them...i rather save them for another unit.

Is there any good reason to get this Zwill Crossblade sleep dagger from the event? I normally get anything remotely interesting from events but since I don't do much Arena I can't think of a good use for a low chance of sleep.

[JP] Ehhhh..... did my free daily. Rainbow. Well, I sure as shit didn't see that coming. Ended up with エルフリーデ。 Going to look her up now.. but okay. That was kinda cool. First Rainbow since my initial pulls to start off.

Always buy exclusive weapons.

You can always give them to expedition units.

If your prio is defensive tmr..
Make tilith a bit beefier..
Equip h shield from charlotte..
Given she's a trash unit, you might have multiple copies of her making the process faster..
After that..
I think there's a nice shield for her from one of the trial, alternatively aegis shield tmr..
Also hill dagger tmr for wilhelm..

If your prio is offensive tmr..
Shine tmr for reberta if you have
If you have gaffgarion, also braced will do

A 2nd Olive will be better than Ace.

Ace's imperil is 75%, which means your Olive's True Shot will do 840% damage (480% x 1.75).

2nd Olive doing Shattering Shot will lower def by 50%, as well as imperil 50%. Which means your prime Olive will deal 1440% damage (480% x 2 x 1.5).

That's 600% more damage when using a 2nd Olive instead of Ace.

priority should be offensive, and work on defensive later. gearing up your best dd before your tank is huge on advancing through content.

lol...i just said F it and evolved Olive to 6* - ill slowly lever her LB with Max pots down the line

89.8% on her TM...so close..yet so far. If we get the Arena rewards next week ill have her TM.

WIll use all my stam for the last hours on Gigantuar and hope i can max lvl Olive. At around 85 now.
Well thought to myself "Feeling lucky today, let's try the daily".

Maria.

Instant regret.

Damn...well at least it was only one pull. Getting trolled on a multi is the worst :-/

Edit:

Hmm thanks - this sounds right. Not having to spend a turn for setting up Shattering Shot ---> True Shot sounds good. On the second turn i can attack with both Olives via True Shot.

Now the question is how many people still will run Olive once they get their hands on a chainer. I just used a Friend Olive with +1k damage...and yeah i only did the Earth Shrine but seeing that unit True Shot for like 2m with WoL depuff and Wilhelm ATK boost was crazy...lol. Had to doublecheck the number because i never crossed +1m before.

I dont even understand why she hits that hard..because the True Shot description doesnt make the skill sound much better than other skill her her damage boost while good, shouldnt be much higher than TM Gilgamesh.

I can put up my Basch with Shiva and the fire resist to survive and tank that fight for you. At least I think I have enough

Couldn't you do it in 2 runs or is it cast shiva while only 5 members in party? Having a 6th who can hide and jump out to cast shiva and die would probably be easy enough to do

I wouldn't even bother with the 5 man mission of the 3* espers, the reward is pathetic. The only missions that matter are the summons and no LB.

Sasuke if you have me, I usually have a 1,1k+ olive as friend unit, unless asked something different..
In game name witchedwiz
If you don't see in your friend list, poke me via pm and I'll give you my friend Id later (cannot run ffbe now)

Technically I also have chambers, but I think a strong finisher can be serviceable as friend unit as well :p

[JP] So .. Bravely Default characters, are they limited time? I burned like 11 tickets this morning try to get other banner tickets outside of the lone blue on banner, which I have already. Got one of the golds in it all and 6 more of the Blue one. No complaints because I had some Trust Moogles for the Golds. I would be using names but can't remember atm, and I didn't play Bravely.

Just wondering if I should pull a little more, or whether once it's done just to sell the TM if they're limited.

Brilliant thank you Shouta. I saw this a little too late though. I have since made a failed attempt with a 6 man party and no Shiva though just to beat it at least...lost at the half way point. Unfortunately I'm now out of Ifrit stones. So don't worry for now, will try again when my exhibition comes back with one.

I have Eiko so my plan was to just have one expendable unit and just summon with Eiko, but not sure who would be expendable. I was running Eiko, Lunera (max song), Wol, Onion Knight and Mistear + friend unit. I think I have the timing down and a unit with reraise would probably fix things, so could probably sub in Rikku for my Wol/Mistear if using your Basch with Eiko Buffon her LB.

Anyway, thanks. I'll let you know next time I've a stone.

Couldn't you do it in 2 runs or is it cast shiva while only 5 members in party? Having a 6th who can hide and jump out to cast shiva and die would probably be easy enough to do

Yea I scrapped that idea. Much effort little reward. I just like one and done when possible but it's just not worth it.

Yeah I would say go for Yu, especially since you have Tidus as your main DPS.

So what's the final word on the mog king materia? The healing one seems bad and the damage mitigation one only gives 20% and doesn't stack from what I've heard. I could get another giancryst for the price of both so I'm considering dropping them, or at least the healing one.

I picked up the mitigation one, sure it doesn't stack with rikku... but could be more than useful enough to tank with if she's not needed for that fight.
