Sweet, beat Bison on hard (pls tell me he drops gold shadaloo emblems).

Is there a way to reset the summons you can use without attempting an event? Those are key for me.

Not sure I understood, but you can refresh the list of summon by taking a quest like main story and retreat. You will regain your AP and the list will change.

What's the best main character class for damage? I'm trying to farm all 6 hard magnas every day and I'm trying to see if I could speed it up. I use weapon master now with mist sub-skill but is there a better choice?

Yeah that's exactly what I was asking, thanks. Grande 200% buff helps immensely.

limit break/uncapping characters is some real bullshit. Trying to get all the materials, and getting your progression severely stunted because you hit the level cap is some real shit.
For real, all my characters hit the cap so I'm basically just getting xP for my job and lvl. Someone tell me that Extreme quest isn't the only way to uncap characters.

The old SF event feels like much more of a slog than the new one, tempted to be done with it after I get Chun-Li, though I suppose I should try and MLB the weapons.

Yeah Order Grande is some OP shit, if I knew about it earlier I would have tried to reroll until I got it during that event.
it requires a specialized team as time goes on; mono-element teams will have buffs applied to all 4 members and a grande team will only have 2 attackers as you need to maintain the passive by having 2 off-element characters

Oh no. Definity not. Every day there is a special dungeon that will have materials for uncapping. Weekend just happens to be the xp/rupee dungeon. Monday is a mix of all, then there's a scroll day, a crystal day, an orb day, etc

Started this the other day. Got Petra from one of the Tickets at the start. Really liking it so far.
Also if there's still a spot in one of the Gaf groups could I get an invite?

I'm actually one of the fools going for a grande grande team. I know it's a lot harder to make the team but I would hate to just shelve my Grande.

Yes but most of the story quests after the beginning don't have a consistent element and most of the time I can't really clear them without the Grande damage buff or just the 100% retry stack.

Mainly because I don't have enough characters to build any specialized teams at all whatsoever.

Mono element teams are great for boss raids I imagine. But stuff like this SF event with a bunch of enemies of varying elements, or just later stage quests single element focus does not seem that strong.

Thank you! I'm rolling these now and actually getting my characters uncapped. Going to take a while for my teams though.

It's because ultimately you are supposed to equip 10 weapons with the element of your team so all 4 characters receive the 10 bonuses from the weapons. Some weapons have two bonuses like an HP+ and damage + or even a counter ability. It's usually better if all 4 characters have the bonuses.


any tips on my team? main char is an arcane dueler, having a tough time on hard and very hard SF event bosses

http://imgur.com/1QiuLZT

would like some tips on which SSR i should go for if i buy the guaranteed SSR ticket too

For the SF event it seems more like a problem of levels as I'm not seeing much stars for limit breaks. What kind of element do you want to play? To help during bosses you should go Dark Fencer for the debuffs. Gravity wave gives you an extra turn before being hit by the ultimate attack during overdrive and misery mist debuff attack and defense. Stall also drains a diamond so you get more time before the ultimate attack once again.

Sent an invite, but you are on cool down.

Could I get an invite to the new GAF crew?

With this, our GAF guild 4(?) is full (minus psycho, who that last spot is currently for).

how did you go exactly about getting her if you dont mind me asking?

Got through the story (up to around Chapter 16 or whichever allows you to farm the raid for your best character's Uncap materitals), started evolving weapons in my pool using Angel weapons from the easy Angel Item events that go on through each day and uncap your other character's too at least once so you can get their third moves. Those really increase your utility. I also got to the Dark Fencer class, which has really helpful debuffs.

Most important part: Borrow the best summon for your team. I have different elements, so I use any Grande that gives 200% to teams with three diff. elements. It worked wonders. I haven't lost since.

If Grande 200% isn't in the list, I use the list reset trick that someone posted about earlier:

Not sure I understood, but you can refresh the list of summon by taking a quest like main story and retreat. You will regain your AP and the list will change.

Note that if you have a Mono-Element team, Grande may not be your exact choice of summon. Any summon that gives a great boost to your superior element should do the trick!

Angel item events? Forgive my noobishness, but which are those? I don't see any on my Events list.

Also, which stage/difficulty in the SF event would you use the most for farming?

Thanks for the insight. Dunno if I'll be able to make it but I'll keep tryin'.

So from what I can gather the new top end game Dark team is Six/Vampy/Dark Jeanne. But for those who didnt get lucky during the limited window is Naru/Vampy/Lady Grey the best they have or is it Vira/Vampy/Lady Grey?

I don't even have 10 SR weapons.

They're referred to as Halo Events with the official localization, I believe.

Yep. That's them. The name was escaping me for some reason.

But yeah, they give weapons that can help level the weapons in your pool.

- I start with Necalli, I find him the more pesky to deal with between him and F.A.N.G. (starting with Hard and then going to Very Hard after hitting 40+ with my uncapped mains. I don't touch Extreme). Necalli is more about raw strength, while F.A.N.G. attempts to afflict Poison on your team members with multi-hit specials.

hmm, i have enough SR/SSR for a fire team, but currently I'm just using a mix of different elements and using order grande if it's up (any 200% order grande user can add me as friend please?)

i should probably get dark fencer and uncap/level up my team and weapons more..

Not too many 200% Order Grandes running around, especially not with free friend slots, were I to guess. It's kind of a slog going back and forth to find them on the list, but it's far from improbable.

And yes, that has been working for me at this point.

This was from hard. Regular hard.

Five golds. Believe, newbies, believe!

I can barely manage Extreme Vega with a good light summon, but Extreme Necali is a little much. The lack of an overdrive bar to break and stall his diamond charges kills me.

Dictator pls gib Street Weapon drop.

I don't get it. I have no luck with these drops on the SF event. I'm doing very hard and I've only gotten seven of the gold tier event items needed out of forty. I've run it so, so many times. I must have awful luck or there's a secret to getting a bunch of gold chests I don't know about.

I think I just grab Karin (50 free crystals btw), I havent got any SSR drops from Extreme, about 40 pots used.

Rixa you should have told me about this sooner!
Sorry :(. But hey, Welcome!
This game has some depth to it.

So having 50 weapon slots doesn't seem like a lot now. Since I have to match affinities and elements to each specific battle as the game gets more difficult.
I have 140 weapon slots, 70 slots for summons. Then I have 2 storages (Stash), other one is for Rusted Weapons (needed for Bahamut weapons) and other one is for SR & SSR fodder. You need shit ton of SR & SSR weapon fodders for skill upping weapons.
Best weapons for fodder usage are HP increase weapons, cause they mostly suck.

It has incredible depth to it, dare I say, I don't think any other mobage compares in depth:

Take a glimpse at this:

http://gbf-english.proboards.com/thread/595/weapon-summon-optimisation-progression
So much depth.

Ugh just lost over 6mil at 100k bingo.... I think I may never play this game again. (At least never touch the casino again)

This is the norm though.
Any stories about big payouts are really just in the tiny minority.

I've been playing GBF for 9 months, never won Super Bingo, and I rarely get over a few millions, just to lose it again in a day.

Yeah. I've been playing the 10k 10man. A few days ago I climbed from 450k to 900k. Then I got to 1.1mil the next day only to drop to 650k. Bounced between 650 and 900 for a couple days then made it back to 1.2mil. It's really not a quick climb unless you get pretty lucky. I had a couple of 20-30 game stretches in there with no wins.
I moved from 10k to 100k bingo, had 3.9m. Only to lose 1.9m there. Since I buy stuff daily with medals, I moved back to 10k where I can get enough medals to do my daily shoppings and still be in winning side.

I need much more buffer to play 100k, 4m is too little, better to stick in 10k :).

I've hit super bingo twice, one for a mere 2.4mil payout, one for the full 77mil, all in the 2 weeks since I started playing GBF. :x

Couldn't resist and finally pulled Star Legend ticket

First Earth element SSR. Now the only element I don't have any SSR is Dark.

Will have Karin soon, but will be a shame that she'll get shelved so quickly when I 2 pull in legfest.

Though given my luck I'd probably pull nothing but rares.

At least I got Poison Hand to drop.

Does legfest start the same day every month or is it like the last week of every month? I have almost 9000 crystals, the surprise ticket 10-pull and 12 tickets from the various collaboration bonuses and I'm trying to hold back my impulse to pull.

I have just starpulled Carmelina which, according to all the tier lists, is basically the worst wind character I could have pulled ;(
On the bright side, I just got 77.777.777 coins from a super bingo

I'm still going for Karin even though I already have a full SSR Fire team, but that's mostly because I like collecting characters.

At least Chun Li still has a place in my inevitable Water team.

I kind of want the water fist too though. I think water is going to be my second element since I have Lancelot already and it'll be a good addition to the weapon pool. Grinding those gold emblems is annoying though.
