No I'm not sure what that is. I didn't use berserk at all. You'd need a decent finisher too, I don't think Orlandeau alone would be enough.

Would 2x Orlandeau and Olive or 2x Orlandeau and Rem be a better fit?

My Rikku also doesn't have any TM that auto fill her bar, so that's out of the question. I do have Rikku's Pouch though.

Tilith is solid. She was doing a great job during my battles.

Of course then I would bring a friend Zarg.


What would the strategy be? Where do I focus first? Is this a "kill this arm 10x and that arm 3x" type of deal?

-- shin I am 100% with you, makes sense.

-- i agree with the sentinment that the veritas banner is designed to empty our reserves before the nier banner. And it will work because it should! If you put two good things back to back that will be the result.

-- serious question: I will have 30 tickets or more by Friday morning. And 5000ish lapis. How many should I spend?

-- note to previous: I am looking for my first Orlandeau, Fryevia, Aileen, and DV.

Just my opinion, Veritas banner is slightly better than Nier.

Both banners will have two 5*, two 4* and one 3*.

Not sure how good Fire Veritas is, but Dark Veritas is better than 2B. A2's kit has been datamined but there's no numbers yet, so we can't say if she's worth chasing or not.

For 4*, we should all try for 9S even just for the TM alone, and also because it's on a limited unit. Victoria and Earth Veritas is not too important because they will be in the pool forever.

For the 3*, we should also try and get 21O for TM purposes.

If you need a chainer, go with Veritas. But leave at least 20 tix for Nier.

I'd say Orlandeau + Rem for sure. I think thunder damage is a no-no which really hurts Olive. Plus Rem is magic damage which should do pretty decent once she gets ramped up (though I've never used her). I'd try for the body first and see if you can out-damage the heals. The first turns could be a little rough until you get stabilized, so Rem would also be nice for clutch re-raises. Then use hero crest with Zarga on your damage dealers to whoever still has re-raise up and toss out party buffs or mp when able.

With new story event about to start I hope next enhancements batch isn't all too far off...if nothing else I hope they make Emperor enhancements happen. Would really like to toy around with those on GL.

It's tough, but if you have enough support units you're basically unkillable. If you can get someone to set up Fryevia for it (Diablos, aquan killer) she can easily solo dps it (that's what I did). Especially now that we have stuff like Tilith/WoL/Rikku/Minfillia, it's not too bad. Cleared it on my wife's account that way.

Hmm this is very interesting. I'll hAve to look into it more. I have a Fry myself I could use...

I think im gonna try and pull a single DV to go with my orlandu

something better to use light on? equip them with excalibur
something better to use darkness on? equip em with DKC TM

problem is... that the only greatsword with dark damage is locked behind a 5* base... dunno where I could get a second one.

Oh, someone on Reddit made a good theory about Balthier. They think he will take Noctis spot on the banner he was which was a FFBE banner with Aura and Guromu. That makes sense actually when I think about it. Noctis has already been on 2 banners so no real need to put him on a 3rd, and buffing him doesn't require putting him back out there either.

They will put both on the banner and people will lose their houses wanting to pull Balthier.

[JP] So, spent like 12 or 13 tickets trying to get a damn banner unit. Fortunately, I got a Gllbert in it so I have a LITTLE bonus. Don't feel like I'll be making much progress on this Mog King event, especially since guests don't even seem to have bonus units up. But, I will take what I can get.

In mean time, I've set Gilbert as my Lead when I'm on my Event group to help out. It's miniscule, but anything is better than nothing I guess.

Well I have made over 50 TM's by farming + all the partly dones (like Leo that I did 20%).
One Earth Shrine run takes about 1min, maybe littlebit more since mobile data is slower than broadband via wlan.

Lets say I made 50 TM's in ES and 1min per run.

~10000 ES runs
= 5 TM's
= 10000 mins
* 10
= 100000 mins
/ 60
= 1666h + some mins (1666.66...)
/ 24
69 days (69.444....)

69 days to TM farming (which of first batch of 5 TM's was purely made manually). Then add the rest game play.

So uhh yeah.

DAT time spent on auto farm. Due to the way TM farming goes, I wonder if Exvius is the undisputed king of mobile games that have their app open for an extended time.

So Earth Veritas got a nice buff:

From: 1 Turn 20% Chance to Defend Allies from Phys Damage (Reduce +30% Phys./Mag. Damage)

To: 3 Turn 60% Chance to Defend Allies from Phys Damage (Reduce +35% Phys./Mag. Damage)

Looking at it this makes EV quite strong. This coupled with 2 turn 100% provoke is really nice. For people without a strong tank he's seem worth pursuing.

I added you guys if you have space.

Earth Veritas looks like a legit alternative to WoL with this buff, most likely even better once he receives his own enhancements.

WoL and EV are about equally good now as a cover tank with some utilities added.

Aoe cover proc chance is 10% higher than WoL, but mitigation is 15% lower. Good balance made by Gumi.

WoL can aoe break while EV can provide 20% aoe mitigation.

Also, EV's provoke is much better than WoL.

[JP] Decided against doing an 11 for lil' Rydia. Spent 7 tickets and 2 4* tickets. Got 2 Yangs and 2 Edwards so I'm set.

Finally used the moogles. Genji Glove #1 obtained. Sakura now at 770 mag with all the F2P gear I've acquired. Still need to spend my raid coins to see I can get Agnes' TM, get the mag +30%, and pick up a pair of earrings.

Oooh EV buff sounds pretty sweet! Still no WoL for me, so I think I'll try for him unless it looks like it's not gonna happen. We also don't know what his enhancements will be yet, right? The Veritas should be coming up soon in JP by now I'd imagine.

Bait to pull further intensifies. Don't think anyone saw the EV buff coming.

And then, quietly, all the Veritas's materia were made unstackable on Global. No real shock thwre, though.

I was just planning to drop 20 tickets pursuing Victoria but I really am tempted to do 1 or 2 11 pulls. Victoria is obviously great, the EV buff makes him really good, and I've always wanted DV since I knew he was a unit. The argument against it is the only unit I actually need out of those is Victoria. The rest is just a want. Decisions decisions.

No way in hell all units will be available through raid summon. Gumi is not that stupid, I don't believe in that.

She must have meant ''All NEW NieR banner units''.

Lol.

There's no need to save for Nier anymore.

All in on Veritas Banner now!
Click to expand...

LOL there is no way that can be correct. Syn is probably right, she probably means A2 and Eve. If that's the case I'm good cause I'm only going for 1 9S anyways, and not having to whale it up for A2 means DV I'm coming for you!

I'm desperate for that new raid

Explorations are wrecking my gil amount

imo they should change explorations so that if it's successful, you get your invested gil back and maybe a little extra, so you haven't lost anything

cw_sasuke

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Think ill use at least half of my Tickets on the Veritas banner...the units are just too good. Just gotta hope that whatever is left will be enough for two 9S copies. Doub it ...but you never know.

Thing is ...if the next Banner/Event after Veritas isnt NieR ill be pissed that i passed on the chance to get a Top Tier unit.

@bonkeng

Who is that and why should we care what she says ? xD

I have been out for a while and never watched those Gumi YT videos - but thanks, so she is the real deal.

Crazy....so all those other units are in the Raid as well. No way 2B and 9S are included though....they know how much money they will ake on those units.

btw. are we getting the Monthly Arena rewards today ? If so ill be able to get Sparky *hype*

Am I also reading right that Earth Veritas is better than enhanced WoL or on par?

If true then why make us wait so damn long for 6* WoL?


Edit - Ah, seems EV is better than 6* WoL, not enhanced WoL.
