Never jewel to beat a mission. Use jewels to get better medals.
Yeah, I'll try to stick to that rule from now on.
I sure do miss it when these missions & events didn't require AP though >.>
Dispel him. His attack gets boosted during that same turn.

If you managed to get the new Xigbar B guilted, use him on the last slot in Divine Rose with a x3 attack boost and he kills him in 2 turns. A little defense lowering helps as well.
It might have been nothing in the long run but it still ticked me off something fierce
honestly if everything else surrounding the quest (i.e. the shit banners and awful HSC) was either actually good or not there I probably wouldn't be nearly as salty
but in that context it just felt like spitting into an open wound y'know?

I pulled twice. Got an Ursula on the 2nd pull. I'll have enough jewels to pull again tomorrow.
Highlights were:
Ursula
shark
Halloween Donald B
Boosted eels
Despite playing from day 1, I somehow don't know how to dispel enemies. Which medals have that skill?

Bell does multiple targets. Alice and antiform Sora are single targets.
They remove the buffs on an enemy.
Namine mirrors their buffs onto you but leaves them intact on the enemy.
Thanks. Besides buffing myself with the various buff medals, the only other one I had used in the past was Namine to mirror. This is the first time I've been forced to dispel.

Wow today's daily is pretty fucking stupid.
"Here's a bunch of enemies that paralyze you before you even attack so it's RNG whether you can kill them, oh and they poison you too so you only get one turn. Good luck!"

Holy shit, this is awful, going for run #5 now. Game keeps skipping 4 or more medals when paralyzed.
Edit: Put an Esuna in my first slot (hasn't been very useful), now at run #20. Only got past the lvl 200 once.
This game has become very stupid lately. I wasn't even able to kill the lvl 150 possessors because it only let me use Sebastian to start with and then proceeded to paralyze me on every medal afterward. Then poison killed me. Thanks, developers.
I got lucky and did it on my first run.

Yup, this quest is pretty awful. Did it with Sebastian, Snow White (esuna), poohglet (in case seb was skipped), classic donald, and guilted larxene b. Took around 10 runs in total.

That fucking quest took me 46 goddamn tries. I'm now going to harass SENA support and the Twitter over it, because I need to go yell at someone.
Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of it either. Snow White helps, but not being able to use Sebastian in the first slot will get me wrecked more often than not.
One of our party members managed to score an Ursula, so I'm now over 10 mil (still can't beat that Lv. 350 gummi ship swarm) and secured a spot in the late 2000s. With more than 10 days left in the HSC, I expect to lose out on that Sora/Donald/Goofy B medal eventually but we'll see.
I'm so close to getting MoG to +25 I can taste it.

Yeah, if something is too difficult or takes too much time, I just ignore it. I took only the 200 jewels and I'm happy with it. I try not to complete everything in a gatcha.
That said, I finally got my mogry-blade on lv25
! Now I only have to do the last mogry-adamite quest for upgrading starlight. What are the best keyblade and medals for this quest?

SENA is trash.
For anyone who's contemplating buying the weekly unlock JUST for the new medal: remember it says you'll only get 4, which won't be enough to guilt (unless they come w/ pips filled in already, which I doubt). Seems strange to tout them as Tier 4 medals yet not give you enough of them to even guilt, though. Maybe they'll have another event lined up next week to get more from, or maybe they'll sneak some into the new avatar boards.

Yup! I got my 200 Jewels and 4* Dale and was done with today's daily. I didn't even bother trying for the 5* Dale medal. It just isn't worth the hassle.
Hold on, did they seriously put the daily jewel quest behind a paywall? I really hope this isn't setting a precedent for the future.
burn Khux global down to the ground
die monster you don't belong in ANY world
This week is the game's last chance, I'm probably gonna drop it if things keep getting this disastrous. And there's no indication things are planning to get any better, either...
That's 10 months of time poorly wasted, smh

It's amazing really especially when you compare them to other games. I've never seen a gacha that changes stuff around just to fuck over players living outside of Japanese borders. Making people spend for free stuff is so insulting. It gets even worse when you compared it to other games.
Look at FFBE for example. We get a lot of free stuff, along with lots of exclusive units and gear. Banners may be changed or moved around to prevent power creep, which can be annoying when you're expecting them to come at a certain time, but at least we still get them the same way it was in Japan. Even old units are better in global because they may get access to exclusive abilities and gear that Japan never got. None of the changes in that game were done to the detrimental of the global player base.

Confirmed for getting another 4 medals as part of next week's vip quests.
lol, having to pay for the weekly twice to guilt a medal that was available for free in Japan.
Shame though, Minne & Daisy is sort of a useful medal, being able to restore 4 SP bars for zero SP is kinda nice if you don't have regular access to Key Art #1 medal. Guilt it and throw an AP+ skill on it for maximum recharge. No wonder they want to toss it behind a paywall.
New Raid boss gives you coins to redeem new boards that have Young Sora and Riku medals. Not sure if they're worth the trouble, I bet the raid boss's rewards will be low for maximum grindage. As for young Kairi, she's one of the drops for beating each multiple of ten starting w/ the Lv. 30 raid boss (the fuck), etc. You can even get extra drops if you grind the boss up past Lv. 96 (*!*).
Fuck.
New premium avatar boards include Second Chance and ATK Boost III & Lux Plus skills, plus a Power Gem. You can also score more Power Gems from placing high in the solo rankings.

I think I'm at a point where I'll probably semi-drop the game. I'll try to remember to log in daily and I'll probably do whatever story & jewel-quests they throw at us, maybe help others with raid bosses when I have the time, but I don't think I'm gonna continue with The Grind anymore. I'll consider returning to a more active playstyle once the multiplayer is added, but this single player content has overstayed its welcome without a huge shakeup. They just throw mostly the same shit at us week after week. Some of it I might be able to do, some not, and over all it makes fuck all difference. They should also put more of an effort into occasionally making actual big changes to the Special quests. Like even the thought of doing one more 5* evolve medal quest makes me feel suicidal. It's horrible game design to require doing the same quests over and over from release to eternity and then reward, like, 1 evolve medal per run. Just makes it seem these people do not understand how to foster good will among its fanbase. Forcing such shitty quests on us for a gazillion times (even paying members when there are no VIP shit goin' on) without ever changing and offering so few of the precious medals they are meant to give just makes it the bad kind of grind.
But yeah, I just can't keep up with the power creep (even when I last spend money) to be able to beat some lvl 300 enemies and, really, I've noticed that there's really nothing I'm actually missing by not keeping up. I mean, I miss some medals and can't 100% all quests, but by the end of the day it's like... so what? I've been missing a lot of medals in the past few months and in the end that doesn't really matter on how much enjoyment I get or don't get from the game. What's getting to me is just the grind is starting to feel too much for too little enjoyment.

I will just continue like always. Log in daily, maybe do a few quests (I still haven't beaten all Proud Mode quests) and continue the story. I try to get a few medals, but if I have to kill a boss 50+ times, I probably will just say fuck it and don't do it. So I don't guilt that medal, big deal.
I more or less migrated to Fire Emblem Heroes anyway and heck, I am starving for any content there. At least we got new quests today. xD

SENA can go fuck themselves
Ah, forgot that this week is our off-week for jewel quests(been that way for the past 3 months haha). Looks like they modeled this week's weekly deal after what JP just did for it.
The daisy/minnie medal is whatever since it'll be irrelevant soon enough when Ikairi2 comes out(even without Ikairi2 i'm not sure that medal is worth using over a buffer or attack medal, 4 gauges is measly). Interesting that they turned a HSC reward into a guarantee though.
Wish the ranking rewards were speed gems, but at least this time you're guaranteed to get something out of grinding.

Exactly what I think and what I plan on doing going forward. I had already accepted that I wouldn't be among the best since I'm not willing to pay, but I still had the willingness to try and do all I could up to that point. Now, seeing how we're treated, it really just saps my willpower and makes me wonder why I even bother. This wasn't my lowest priority mobile game for a long time, but it's become that now.

This is really something.
I'm hoping that the anniversary will be good. If not, done with this game. In the meantime, I'll keep playing the story and see where it goes.

As it turns out, Young Kairi is a drop for both MVP and Host during the Raid Boss event (Level 30 and every multiple of 10 after, to reiterate). Meaning you can only get one if you try to solo and meet both requirements but there's potentially two medals to be earned if two party members split the difference: one summons, the other does the most damage. Coordinate with your party to maximize your winnings!
The medal comes 6* and raises attack and defense of all attributes by 1 tier for one turn, at 3 SP cost. Not that great all things considered but it might have some uses.
You can get an extra Young Sora and Riku from their boards when completed, for rerolling. I already did it with Young Sora and got 69% on the first try and raised it to 79% on the second. Oh well!
This Raid Boss isn't as bad as the Omega version. Within in 2 hours (split between two Lux up times) I got it to Level 30. I expect to get it to 99 by Friday.

Wait wait wait
The 30/40/50/etc raid boss drops are 6*, right?
So if we want the 5* Young Kairi for the album we have to get the 96* drop hahaha
Yeah I noticed they updated the in-game notice when I jumped online earlier. Just got to Level 50, then proceeded to lose my head and take out half of the boss's HP on the first turn by accident. Oops! No MVP Kairi for my party members this time around.
That's... a 4*, right? Fucking SENA. And there's only a chance it'll drop, it's not even guaranteed! FUCK.
Still going for it, lol. And maybe that free YKairi we get on Wednesday will be this non-6* version.
I've MVP'd 4 or 5 of yours and still haven't gotten one.

What was wrong with the raid boss notice before they fixed it?
it says it in the update to the notice
originally they said anyone who participates in fighting against the benchmark boss levels would snag a Young Kairi
what was the reality was that only the MVP and Host would get a copy of the medal and everyone else would get fucked
thus they acknowledged it and are giving out a (kinda mediocre) apology gift
I understand why they didn't change the mechanics of the raid tho, I mean unless you reset everyone's raid boss levels out of schedule very few people would have been able to take advantage of the ideal scenario
doesn't make it any less bleh
