Yeah I'm pretty sure we're on each other's list. I have Agrias as my current leader though to add the the sea of Agrias friend list.

535-960-801

I'm sharing a Tidus in the 900's ATK who's using Brotherhood and Apoc so he won't have an issue with this trial. He'll get stronger when I finish a Shine I'm farming for him but he's still in the 900's in the meantime so hopefully he can help you with this strategy :)

Do you want, that I change my Ace to Tidus or do you have enough Tiduses on flist?

Best thing about Ayaka is dualcasting reraise and AoE full heal every turn. I rarely ever need to do anything else but if I do, AoE every ailment heal is fantastic when needed, though it can't be dualcasted with an HP heal spell. She has MP battery and AoE Arise like Tilith so... yeah, she is almost perfect.

Yuna is great because she has reraise, ProShelgga + the most important BarGas, but the lack of a good heal and niche BarGas sometimes can bite you in the ass. She requires W White Magic Rod or Dualcast materia (better because you can use the BarGas and heal).

Garnet is also great because of her AoE
turns +40% all elements + good heal skill (better than Curaja but not Curada). Her raise and enhanced Curaja kinda sucks and she requires the W White Magic Rod or Dualcast materia though. It's pretty easy to make her invulnerable to all elements you need for any battle.

I don't have CG Fina, but I guess her spammable LB and AoE +45% all element resist make her the best by default as she has all of Ayaka's relevant skills. She really only lacks stone and stop ailment heal.

This is a pretty handy breakdown. Thanks. I want Ayaka pretty badly.

Thats the reason why I want Ayaka. Refia DC Curaja doesnt heal max so its kinda bad when you need to cast Full Life and Curaja.

We'll have to see what people change their units to since right now everyone is sharing Agrias for obvious reasons but thanks for offering :D I'll let you know once it's out and we see how everything unfolds.

My lapis and tickets are ready for the one true goddess, Ayaka. Forget that skittle sprite monstrosity.

1. I hope someone does a new bench meme with Tilith right back on it and Ayaka on the forefront but Tilith will never leave the bench ;)

2. How sweet would it be if Ayaka brought Chilly back and cleansed his soul as Tilith will no longer be desirable once he had Ayaka? I know he won't come back but nice to think about.

3. Man I'd like Veritas of the Dark, why must he share 5* base on this banner? I do have a Fohlen I haven't leveled, I'm thinking I should just level him and he can be my third DPS but I don't think he'd chain well with Tidus, right? Noctis sadly doesn't chain with anyone but still so damn good it doesn't matter.

None of us used a Phoenix Down quick enough. ;_;
RIP Aeris. Also, I hope one day we get in her BE.

Aeris will be the best healer (even though she won't have auto-revive)
Tifa will be the best chainer (some 30-hit final heaven nonsense)

I'd say Rikku, because she still isn't dethroned even on JP.

WoL will die tomorrow and then again when Basch comes and Tilith might die next month.

LOL that actually made me laugh. I won't say he's dead, but if I get EV I want to use him simply to be different. Ayaka will most likely be pushed back for many months so Tilith's got some time.

I wouldn't mind some global exclusive broken as fuck healer/mage/summoner. We deserve something as good as Fryevia for other roles.

Chilly has completely metamorphosed into a meme by this point. I don't even remember much about him other than his lust for Emperor and disgust for not getting Tillith. Maybe OT6 could be "For Chilly!" in the vein of the FFXV OT tag.

I want her to be best healer. First disc was great with her. Then that whole WHY ARE YOU NOT USING A PHOENIX DOWN killed that. I didn't feel like my group was the same after that.

So, quoting myself from everyone saying the 10+1 tickets don't give banner units: they absolutely do. I used mine (sadly, for science) and Orran was one of the many 4* units that came with it.
frak, where is my Meliadoul

Well but Orran is in the "general pool" too. I think the bigger questions are
1) whether the 10+1 ticket gets the banner rates
2) whether it will get units from limited banners like nier
 
I hope that Rinoa will be a god tier healer or support unit. She'll be at Squall's side either way in my party but it'd be nice for her to actually be further justified in doing so haha

1) Absolutely not
2) Less clear but from the most recent reddit discussion it seems yes (assuming the limited units are in the pool at all, e.g. you're not getting Tilith from it). The 10+1 ticket still only gets you a ~0.5% chance at 2B though so don't hold your breath.

As long as she can shoot her dog at enemies I don't care what else she does.
Quistis is better anyway
 
Thanks to the reddit orthos/typhoon carry and rod mastery, I got my Ace up to 737 Mag!

Now I have Ace, Olive at 1034 Atk (and lvl 19 LB) and event units potentially up as my companion... I wonder how much of an effect this will have...


I need a chainer, ghetto chaining with Ace and chizuru is lame! I've got tons of finishers but no really good chainers!

Do you think the devs even realized how good Fryevia would be? I don't.
She's a happy accident. Who I don't have :(

I think the devs knew. The community definitely did not. I think most of us are still stuck in the What Does JP Do mentality, but back then it was way worse, and few people could imagine a dps world beyond Orlandu/enhanced Aileen. What didn't help is people hated hybrid back then. But the devs definitely knew what they were doing.

They knew hybrid was both bad and disliked and so they gave it ridiculous modifiers. They gave her an 100% chance to survive a fatal hit which I don't believe was an oversight considering every other unit that has that skill only has a chance for it to prok (I believe). They gave her only 1 weapon to use and it just so happened to be the one weapon type in the whole of GL with a stacking materia. None of this was an accident imo.

I think for me the surprise comes from the fact it took the community so long to realise how good she is. It really showed that few players are willing to take the time to assess for themselves what is good and more importantly why it is good. Even now people just say this is what JP did so this is what we must do. As across brought up earlier the most recent example being the Robot and the lack of enhanced Ramza. I hope Gumi continue to make great exclusive units, but I think it's more important that our community becomes more open-minded to new concepts first before we can receive more gifts like her.

1. No, never.
2. Yes, if they are in the pool when you use it. https://i.imgur.com/D6GJYhw.png

1) Absolutely not

Ultimately it's just clearer to say "Any currently available units", because that would exclude limited units from the past but include currently limited units.

Otherwise I'd be pining for Fencer, again.

As long as she can shoot her dog at enemies I don't care what else she does.
Selphie is better anyway
True, but I fixed your spoiler for accuracy and life.

I think the amount of different gear needed to really bring her to life played a big part in the delayed reaction on her. You basically had to TM farm up a completely different gear set than just about every other DPS in the game and future DPS that people were looking forward to.

1. No summer deal today??? Guess I'm stuck at 28 tickets and 5100 lapis.

2. The meeting went very well. Not definitive but a short term distance to some really big things. Thank you all so much for the support. You don't know it but the confidence boost actually helped.

3. Thinking about you Lyrian!

4. I'm over here still liking a dualcast Refia over Tilith.

dual victoria could be quite powerful considering anything that attacks spr does significantly better these days

Dual Vicky, Elza, DKC finisher for massive Dark Damage?
That's should nuke everything that doesn't resist dark and do a lot of damage to whatever resists.

The trial tomorrow will be perfectly doable with DKC applying - 100% dark res.

[JP] Feeling good about how things are going in it. Got 21k in Mog King currency saved up now and none of it has been spent. Trying to plan out what to buy. Realized if I want all of the cheap 6* mats going to be over 50k.

But I do have a question... the accessory on Mog King worth it?

I think it's trash, it gives a small chance to counter with Firaga.

Okay. I didn't think it was that appealing, but I thought I'd ask first.

One of the abilities if I recall right he sells though increases Attack, right? And something else? Not in game at the moment. Actually about to head out to work. Right now saving all my currency to figure out what to buy. Might end up buying it all at end if I can't build up enough to get everything I want/need.

One is 10%ATK + 20% Damage against human, the other is the MAG version of that and the last one is a 30%MAG materia.

I know. I used DC Refia for the longest time and am still very attached to her, but I made the jump to using Tilith as my healer about a month ago and havent gone back to Refia once.

Try Tilith out! She's better!

Did Mr Roboto today with her help. Missed the No magic, but can come back when I pull my own tilith... It's not like she was a one off unit that you can't pull normally or anything :(

Can't get the Korean app thing to work. Got as far as downloading ffbe in that store but it won't install. Anybody having similar issues?
 
So will gaffgarion become almost as good as dkc at finishing? His imperil is only 50% which definitely isn't as good. However, his multiplier will be the same at 750% and he won't kill himself in the process if you are dual wielding. Seems like a solid finisher. The only other problem is his selection of weapons.

The lack of the extra 50% already makes him much worse, but its a powerful skill nonetheless. DKC doesn't really die if you build your team correctly so I don't even consider that a setback.

Request sent!

Request sent.

I recently started playing again after a long hiatus, and now the game bug has bit. Have tons of catching up to do!

Still learning about chaining, finishers, and all that fun stuff.

Sent you one as well, I too need to beef up my gaf friend list.


I just spend a bunch of event currency on awakening mats, so I now have everything I need to get both Warrior of Light and Ramza to 6-star. I feel like I probably need to actually progress through story mode for gear and espers, but the event seems like the best use of stamina for me atm.

Thanks for all the friend requests! I was hoping if you guys could also send an FR to my buddy who just started the game during the anniversary event. He has a Luneth and a Trance Terra.

Thanks in advance everyone.

I guess the other really great passive gaff gets is his 50% damage to humans goes up to 75% but that's really only helpful in certain situations. I think you're right though. DKC is better also because of his self heals.

Can someone explain to me why Rikku is so good? I have her but I dont really see how she would fit in my team...

Do your characters die sometimes and you have to revive them? Do you wish that didn't happen anymore? Her limit break takes care of that pesky problem. She also has very good general damage mitigation with HyperNullAll. If your healer is swamped you can use al bhed potion to heal some statuses and 1k health or AoE 100% revive the party. Those are the main points. If you're not expecting to be in much danger just swap her out for another DPS. Her main contribution is in the really hard fights like trials.
