Josef has a very high attack stat on top of being able to use Fist, Dagger, Axe and Hammer weapons (great versatility when you need synergy). A little sad that he is restricted to Combat and Monk abilities though.

How much time remains for flans? 5 hours or so? BLM, WHM and SMN are 42, I wanted to bring them as up as possible before the time limit (there will be the saturday heroic dungeons afterwards, and they will get an exp bonus, but I'm not quite sure they will survive... If I didn't know they will drop crazy useful materias I would never have leveled up them).

I was really surprised by how strong Josef was when I started using him for the FFII dungeons :p

anyway:

Gah, I don't understand how to Champion those damn Proto Armours in the Celes event. I had every character defending except Celes who used Thunder Strike twice, killing each one in one hit, and yet on the results screen I get 1 star out of 3 for actions taken, what the hell am I supposed to do?

Literally the only way I can kill them faster is to use a thunder summon on the first turn, seriously.

Don't defend. Use the Skip command instead. (Defending counts as an action.)

Well today's heroic is easy with all the FFVI gear. I can auto battle it just about. If I actually pay attention and use magic it's reallh easy. FFX daily on Hard takes more effort.

Any tips on beating No.24 on hard mode of the Celes event? I simply can't do it. He just won't die, he counters every attack and I can't keep up with the healing.
The tips when you die says to watch for his elemental weakness by using the opposite of the spell he casts, but that is utter bull, he casts a spell and then immediately uses Barrier Change.

I can't beat hard mode because of him, he wipes out all my party, uses all of my abilities and even then it's rare that I can actually beat him.

I'm starting to think I shouldn't even bother with trying to complete it, even if I was to beat him i'd have to beat Ifrit/Shiva and the other No. as well, it's just too much.

You'd probably have to level/hone/upgrade more to be honest. Contrary to what the advice says No.24 is really a "beat-his-face-in-as-much-as-possible before he does first barrier change".

Pretty much what Falk said. If you don't get 1 or 2 free turn for everyone before he changes his barrier, you are better off "save-scumming" by closing the app and begin the fight anew. Really, n°24 is just an annoying boss with way too much defense once he switches, and his switches are not only random, but he can stay in one annoying mode for as long as he wants (and when he is chaining wind attacks on everyone or self-healing, you really want to throw your phone by the window).

If you are lucky, you can kill him before his first barrier change. Usually I just use all my most powerful abilities, and if he didn't swap barriers he is dead in 2 turns. Terra with Firaga does wonders.

well..

Terra 48
Rydia 44
Keeper 42
Rinoa 38
Cloud 44
Celes 38
Cyan 33
White Mage 31
Kain 31


All my characters over level 30. I'm wondring if I should continue to level until the event ends or just go for weapon upgrade materials :|

There's going to be a ton of paintings this Friday (presumably, don't shoot me if wrong) that'll help slingshot at least a party of 5.

Is the Tyro guy worth keeping in the main party? I've been playing the game for a while, but never read into it.

Not really. He is unvaluable at the beginning, because his main quality is to be able to wear absolutly everything, be it equipment or abilities. But later on, he will be outclassed by nearly everyone, since his stats are incredibly bad. He is a correct support/healer character, but unless you get his 5* weapon (granting him a group healing spell), ditch him ASAP.

Everytime I need to go switch out my party / abilities, i'm reminded of why i'll never drop a single cent into this game. Atrocious performance.

I almost have Rinoa at 50.

After that, I just want to get Wakka to at least 40. Too bad I still have to use my level 50 summoner to wipe the flans. That's 7,500 XP down the drain.

Can someone explain what flan farming is? I keep seeing it mentioned and all your characters are so high level. I don't have a single character at level 50, yet I've played this game since day one fairly regularly.

Celes event, Hard difficulty, keep retreating until you get blue Flans as your opponent. Kill them, get 15k XP, then retreat and repeat

Edit: Since you're short on time, prioritize the five you really want to level. There shouldn't be any added efficiency in making your party smaller than five until one or more of them hit Level 50

remember me
The new heroic daily dungeons are a bust. Like I'm really going to struggle just for some 3* scarletites. At least we get an extra mythril from them.

I bet, in the future, your team will get stronger and you won't struggle.

Heroic daily was really easy, but it probably helps that I have 3 level 50 FFVI characters.

Elite dinosaur has too much HP to be fair.

Since it's last day I don't have the patience to memory farm the whole event. I got close enough with only about 4 rewards left and while I want the egg and major holy, it's not a big deal not having them.

I'm gonna finish flan farming my other characters.

I stopped after the ring. 100k more memories felt just like too much time for one orb and a frigging exp egg. I used that time slaughtering flans instead.

Pretty much what I'm doing. I'm going to try and get as many to 50 as I can. I'll also have to do the daily's so I can upgrade my gear.

My justification is that exp is everywhere, major orbs are not.

Yeah but Flan farming isn't around everywhere :p

Guess I'll attempt the stage after the Dinosaur boss that killed me. No boss there.

EDIT: Instant death attacks can get fucked to death.

EDIT 2: Nevermind, this is stupid. Clearly not balanced for what is actually available. Why would they put this here? So you'll waste stamina on it and buy more?

So you'll burn all of your available abilities on every level and use a mythril to rest at the camp between levels.
