OMFG DID YOU SEE HOW MANY EX TICKETS THAT PERSON HAS??????
no wonder they blocked their lapis amount. It's absurd how much money was spent on it.
370/430
Yesterday before my tix pull streak I used most of pots and 130 Jumbos (Korea + King Mog). Suddenly I have a lot of room in inventory and obviously my rainbow is at lvl 1 and Iam out of Jumbos.
Suddenly I have job for 3 Setzer,

I recognize his name from first place in all the freaking raids.
I don't know if I should feel sad about his loss of control or envious of the amount of expendable currency available. Either way I assume he's doesn't have a family. But I do thank him for keeping GUMI afloat.

Well, rip the dream of 2B. Its all gone and only have 8 earth veritas to show for it along side 10 victorias and enough tims to get his tm. I let my impulses get the best of me. One more pull, the next has to be it. It never was "it" at all.
So the math works out that if you stopped doing daily pulls right now and instead spent all that lapis on 10+1 pulls after the 3% rainbow change, you will actually on average get more rainbows after the change.
So basically, unless you really, really, need a specific unit for your team, it's better to hoard anything and everything (EX tickets, 10+1 tickets, and lapis) for whenever the 3% change finally hits global.
The only thing worth spending Lapis on right now is NRG refreshes for TMR farming.

He has 32 Guaranteed 5* tickets.
That's like $16,000 + spent on this game since EX system came out.

50 tickets and about 15k lapis. Not a single rainbow. Lots of golds.

Feel bad for everyone who couldn't control the urge.
I spent (4) tickets and I then talked myself into stopping.
I'm 100% committed to getting 10x 9S (for 10-man challenge) as stated as required in this thread.
Hope my (48) tickets and 10,000 lapis brings the goods!

Correction: 32 5* tickets. at $300 a pop, $200 for the first = $9500 spent since EX points.
Still though.
AKA 1.7 million lapis
This sucks...but we will make it work.
Small setback before the big comeback. It happens, you will have more luck during NieR.

Just to give reference I have 3 and have used 1 soooooo not even in the same realm.
What happened with Ziss anyway? I really liked the guy's videos.
The videos of pullers that got units without any feelings like "oh my 5th fire veritas, ok, my visa call center will know about this" is really really boring.
Anyway, heres my video of Orlanduzzz skinpack, AKA Dark veritas

This banner just scares me for the future where we see a lot of 2 5* banners. There seems to be way less people in the thread "oh look i used 5 tickets and got this" happening than usual for new banners. I personally dropped 30k lapis and only have 2 off banner 5* to show for it.
It was always nice in the past to be truly "done" with a banner if you managed to get lucky and get that rainbow. Now it's like "well there's still one to go" or "shit it's the wrong one."
I'm going to really have to watch my spending on double 5* banners in the future.

Had to buy more slots for all the units I pulled yesterday. Up to 650 now.
Someday, i"ll make 5-combine TMs out all of these, honest! Or so I keep telling myself. Silly fallacies.
Going into this event, I realized that I was up to 75 tickets, which gave me pause. I blew my ticket stash on both Tilith and for Rikku, and somehow I had re-established that many tickets in the bank. The rate for free/discounted tickets in FFBE has very significantly increased. But in the end, it's just an illusion of numbers, as now it takes 40+ tickets for an average chance at a new 4* base unit, and to get that many tickets in the pile requires outright skipping multiple banners at a time.
Literally, for those who can't whale for 5* bases, chasing 4* bases is now the equivalent function for those generally playing in a F2P manner.

Currently 525/585 with 80 of those slots taken by stat pots and another 50 slots with moogles. I don't have many cactuars left in my inventory but I have like 100 of them in my inbox lol.
I keep all the TM units I max, so I'm at 1048/1050. I can clear up maybe 50 in cactuars, which I"ll probably do today to be able to buy 100 more from Mog King and max Veritas of the Flame, but its a serious struggle. I can't wait till they increase the max to 2,000.

yes and there are plenty of 4 star bases that are amazing on top of three stars that get upgrades as well as enhancements
Stop chasing rainbows fucking rulebreakers

I keep all of them except a few of the low tier things like Penelos and whatever I keep at least one of each. Once I get the amount of TMs from a specific unit I want I just sell them as I get them after that. I mean I don't need anymore Draco Spikes I have 6. So if a Zyrus pops up he is just Gil to me at this point. No way in hell I ever want to have to go through 2000 units lol
Yeah it's pretty shit. People say don't pull for 5*s, but they purposefully design the 3* and 4*s to be lame as shit. Your enjoyment in this game is purely dependent on who you pull, so if you're pulling constant shit then the game becomes pretty boring.
I should really follow your example. I have 10 Gungnirs, 6 Equip H Armor, 6 Drains, but I still keep fusing Anzelm's I have, and keep all the maxed Anzelms as well.
I know its completely pointless to have, and costs me gil to fuse, but I still keep them. Partially, its because I can go back and count exactly how many of each unit I've gotten over time, but part of me feels it wasteful, even though I know its actually wasteful to keep them.

What? The majority of units that can go to 6 star are viable what are you talking about

Omg Zera I thought you were different. I thought you were immune. I'm so sorry.
Currently 210/280. I'd been riding close to the cap for quite a while but FV/DV (and Victoria) completely cleaned out my Pot stock (incl. all my Arena medals/tickets), so I'm back to having lots of room, which is nice. I don't keep multiple dupes for most TM units (exceptions: Jack, Grace/Vanille, Elle) and I don't let my unit inventory get clogged up with Smart Pots anymore.
As for the 5* discussion, non-whales just need to be picking and choosing their banners from here on out, I think.
I've said before that FFBE is a game about intelligently expanding your toolbox. In reality it's a game about funding gacha developers' yacht rides so you can watch nostalgia-inducing sprites kill rats on your phone in 34 day increments, but nevermind that...
My only 5* imperil-utilizing chainer is Orlandeau. Holy resist/immunity is smeared all over every trial boss like butter on a biscuit. Dark resist is honestly not much better, possibly worse, but my chances at Earth, Wind, Water and Ice have all come and gone. (Knight Delita isn't a real unit, sorry) Onion Knight has elements but no imperils. Veritas of the Light targets SPR but is also Holy. Prishe has no imperils. Nyx is fire, but he's about it for the next couple months. I also don't have Ace for enabling big-imperilled Fire/Thunder combos, or Marie. So...
Veritas of the Dark represented both a way for me to gain (questionable, granted) elemental coverage, but also leverage TMs I'd acquired (Deathbringer, Moonblade) and units (DKC, Orlandeau). Weapon diversity meant I could at least do true poverty elemental chains with Chirijiraden/Vernard or even utilizing Olive's Shattering Shot with two Raikiris. I also would gain freedom from "having" to bring a friend Orlandeau to chain with, enabling me to bring say, a Rem or a stacked OP friend Wilhelm (or Mistair or Basch or...) for future content.
Overthinking things? 100%. But you accumulate lapis and tickets and you have to spend it sometime or the game becomes uninteresting, even if it's objectively unwise to chase rainbows. So do research and spend at the best times for you, based on what units, TMs, and options you already have. And hope for the best.
2B, Prishe, Onion Knight, Veritas of the Light, Noctis (or Balthier...), Nyx, Roy, Duke - I'll not be chasing these units at all. They don't expand my toolbox in a sufficiently desirable way for me, so even though they're good, gonna leave them on the table. Pull smart not hard, but if you're gonna pull hard, need to stay smart. Or just pull for whoever looks cool. There's a credible argument to make that the end result isn't much different, honestly.
Of course RNG can still bend you over the table, which brings me back to yacht rides...
WoL, Rikku, Tilith, VoE, Ashe, Sezter, might as well be 5* units. Since their kits are on par with most, and most of them are typically far more useful than a 5* Base.
Orlandu doesn't get me thru trials, WoL, Tilith, and Rikku does because defend, heal, rez, buff, etc.

Yeah I get you, I have started to screenshot all my pulls and I'm starting to keep an excel database and I input unit amounts afterward.
Daily and two tickets today were Chizuru, Abel (new), and Fang. I'd be more excited for a new Abel if I didn't already have 4 dual wields. Should have pulled more yesterday when my luck was good.
Finished the story event. I was pretty disappointed with this one story-wise.

It's mostly just the three veritas talking in circles without saying anything. We get a little of what makes FV tick and that's probably the best of it. EV just comes across as an asshole and DV adds basically nothing. Is this Rain's dad or is this the vision? I guess he doesn't recognize his own son at the end? Nobody acknowledges their revenge plan will kill thousands of people much less how they feel about it. They don't even seem too excited about enacting it, just kinda tired and brooding. For once, the story event didn't make the banner characters more appealing except for maybe FV, but I was the least interested in him before so he had the most to gain. I hope the next veritas event is better. I imagine it will be since LV, WV, and VH are all more animated, interesting characters.
Hi all! Damn I pretty much burnt myself out working so hard at work over the last 2-3 weeks trying to finish a project in a tight schedule but all out the way, although I feel like crap now. Hopefully can go back to being more active here now too and back to more gaming once I get home!
Just took on The High Seraph and grabbed all the rewards, did it with Luneth, Noctis, Noctis, Warrior of Light, Tilith and a friend Yun. Will finish Time for Revenge now. I've not actually pulled using any tickets this banner, only daily pulls, stayed strong and saving still.
(P.s. Hope your interview thing went well Panther)

WB Xion!
I got really lucky last night and was able to get Veritas of the Dark on my second ticket. That was my 14th pull on this banner.
Wasn't really expecting that at all, since I only planned to use 30 tickets in total to try and pull Veritas of Earth.
This morning I made a few more pulls and got 3 troll golds: Nine, Rikku, Setzer.

What team are you using?
Just go full DPS with all 6 units and rush it down
If you have Terra bring her along to remove the Dark Element from your attacks at the start of the fight with Dispelga
https://exvius.gamepedia.com/The_High_Seraph
Then buff up with the best buff you have and go to town
RIP in peace.
I wasted 30 tickets for Dark yesterday though. Most I've spent on a banner in forever without getting a rainbow. I have no intention of pulling on Neir beside dailies if I chose to. But Ayaka; I'll go full Dyer on her ass. lul. Not really but I'll exhaust whatever I've accumulated.
Then I'm pretty much set for team building... Would still like to get DV for my dark team and Marie too.
Hmmm...well, I'm glad I save mine up. I hope it's true, because more changes is best.
Sorry to hear that, Zera. Hopefully the next banner give you more love.
