Wouldn't Lexaeus still do more damage on single targets? Especially grounded ones with your trait. His base multiplier should more than make up for the guilt and trait difference, assuming you're sticking him in the last slot.

And he'll be more usable during the higher tiers/rounds of Coliseum since you got that trait. I got Aerial -60% for the Copters/Invisibles/etc. in Coliseum

What's better now? Ground/aerial defense -60% or extra attack 40%?
It depends. If your medal buffs or debuffs, Extra Attack is typically better. If it's a two turn effect, Extra Attack is a must, even for raiding.
this is what I look for in traits:
buffs/debuffs - extra attack
everything else - Ground, Aerial, STR, Extra Attack
what attribute type the medal is depends how much I value ground or aerial. Magic almost always Ground. Power is a toss up, aerial wins here I think. Speed toss up as well, maybe aerial.
if you value raiding a lot, you can get Raid Power over any trait.
And this is just for tier 3 medals. For medals with two trait slots, any combination of ground, aerial, and STR will do.
Other than not getting the best quilt, that's not bad. The defense debuffs are the best traits for attack medals.

You can't have 60% ground AND 60% air right?
Well, you can on medals with 2 trait slots. But no, there's not a singular trait that would do -60% for both ground & air.

Wouldn't having ground AND air be better than 1000 str?
Yes, unless you're using the medal for raiding
Edit: Just as a note, PSM atk up/def down is far better for raiding than GDD. The reason for that is because raid bosses have very little defense in the first place. So decreasing their defense has diminishing returns compared to buffing PSM or debuffing their PSM defense. So basically use something like a J&S over Dark Riku.

Phew! I just landed a hail mary and 3 mickey'd Lexaeus 12 and 13. Big thanks to my Guild Oblivion peeps for the guidance as I tinkered with my loadouts.
Lex 12
This was by far the hardest to figure out, and I had to spend Jewels to 2-turn it. Alas, I got it done after a lot of trial and error.

Xigbar B, AB3M, 100%
Friend: KDG, AB3M, 150%
Initially I was trying to get SC to proc from a friend medal, but that was annoyingly unreliable and it stifled my DPT ability. I landed all 6 hits on both turns, so that was lucky RNG. I died on the enemy's turn 1 attack and hit continue. This started T2 with full HP/Gauges and no paralysis. I messed up the first time I did this by continuing on a mid T2 countdown attack, rather than from the T1 end attack, which cost me 100 extra Jewels.

The boss fight lasted 15+ turns, but it was easy once I figured out the tank route. I initially tired more damage focused setups, but simply couldn't survive. Once I heard about Pluto B's usefulness I changed my strategy. DB3 or SC is needed to survive the second monster's preemptive attack and I don't have either, so the friend slot had to be the source. DB3 won out because it's repeated procs are far more useful in a long fight like this one. The dual Pluto Bs are used to survive in the event that the DBs don't proc vs the boss.
Final Result
Lexaeus B, 89%, +1k ATK
Feels like it was well worth the 200 Jewels. I may drop 11 mirrors on him, too.

Tomorrow we get the Aladdin HSC with Aladdin & Abu and Aladdin & Genie medals. A&A buffs power and speed by 2 tiers for 1 turn and A&G raises power and magic by 2 tiers for 2 turns. We also get daily jewels and the second part of the HT I Sora medal. If you buy these 2 weeks of VIP you get a total of 10k jewels for 30 bucks. Seems like a pretty good deal.
IgotElbows

Huh? Isn't that only 8800 jewels? 3k + 1.4k = 4.4k times 2 = 8.8k?

Plus 1400 from daily jewel quests.

But that's for everyone?
Yes but if you buy both VIPs you get all those jewels.
Still got an hour before this week's VIP is over and done with. Just doesn't feel right plunking down 30 bones. Sure, I can afford it but it's the principle! I realize they've given us more value than in months past by adding extra jewels and uber medals...
Apparently some people have been clearing the two turn objective in XII by having Second Chance activate after being defeated by the enemy's countdown counter in the middle of the turn, rather than at the end. They accomplish this by using an attack medal that drains your HP before the countdown ends on the first turn, such as iAnsem (which also has the benefit of dropping GD by 2). If you're revived, your keyblade reverts back to the first slot but your turn doesn't end... allowing you to pile on the debuffs/attacks (buffs revert unfortunately).
A good setup using this method, then, would be using Moogle of Glory with this loadout: any medal that can +3 GAB, iKairi II, iAnsem, Maleficent B, iKairi 1 and a powerful Friend medal (max KDG was mentioned). Variations on the formula might also work, ymmv. I wasn't able to take advantage of this setup but I'll post about it regardless since it might help someone else.
Which begs the question: if you're taken out in the middle of your turn and revive using jewels, will the turn remain the same as well? Might be a way to abuse this. The only real problem is that paralyzation is still an issue.

I can confirm from experience that if you do this you will not meet the objective, it apparently counts the post-revive turn as turn 3.

That's what happened to me on the first try doing the Continue method. Then I replaced my iKairi 2 with another GAU +3 and was able to do what I typed out above.
Also, I was all in a hurry to 3 Mickey Lexa 12 earlier because I mixed up the end dates of it with the gauntlet. Luckily, I realized my mistake with 10 minutes to go and was able to FINALLY beat the last gauntlet stage using Lexaeus:
Seb = SP1+2 Gauges, iRiku B = AB2+Extra ATK, Meow = 100%+AB3M+1k ATK, Lex = 89%+AB2+1k ATK, KDG = 150%+AB3M/Lux
The win was only possible with AB2 activating on both iRiku hits and Lex's. Sebastian's +2 Gauges gave me 18 gauges which was JUST enough to use all of my skills + friend. The with the Nova hit a total of 2 gauges were refreshed via attack prize orbs before the final hit, meaning 20 gauges needed and exactly 20 gauges used. *Wipes brow*

I think my second chance counted as a 3ed turn, btw. I don't think I went to 3 rounds with it in spite of second chance. When second chance activates, it says player turn so it may count as a new turn.
Guilted my halloween sora b medal... +3000 strength and does 1 hp damage to tier 14 enemies in the coliseum with multiple buffs on a 2.3 multiplier on sleeping lion... lame...
Pulled 2 ill KHII sora's in a row from the KA7 pull... Just mocking me since I only got 1 KA5... I was able to start moving in tier 14 in the coliseum again though. Back in the 300 rankings...

I think you'll need to get a bit higher. It always goes crazy the last couple of days.

What's the fastest way to get lux in JP?
I have 119 ap total and am level 117... (atm is 20k lux to level :/)
I really would love a 0 AP to happen tomorrow cause I desperately want to get the Tifa & Aerith. I've already pulled twice. So I need to do it 3 more times... (unless I can pull it early)
If I can get Tifa and Aerith, my set up would be neat perfect because I'd use
Tifa & Aerith, Shock Lock Barrel. Sephiroph Ex. Pongo, and Sephiroth Ex.
For the last Seph Ex, that'd be 6 gen str, 7 power up, and on the enemy 6 gen def down and 6 power def down
Even better when I can use friend medal because I could use a third Seph Ex.
Really sucks because with full AP I can only do about 10 quests. So about 10 quests/300 jewels each time...
Then have to grind at multiplayer (thank god for free AP on multiplayer so it will be possible to get the medal, but a big chore)
Will have to do that 10 times to get 3000 jewels...
Maybe I will make myself do a pull today, then do a pull tomorrow, then do final pull (if needed) on Wednesday before the deadline.
Less grinding at least per day....
tldr; How do I get lux quickly in JP? lol

Are there any strong Light Green attack medals out / coming soon that aren't VIP? It would be nice for Olympia and Sleeping Lion.
I have a number of strong Dark Green attack medals options (mainly Org XIII), but only Halloween Sora for Light. The rest of my Light Greens are buffers (KA5, iRiku A, iRoxas, Casual Roxas, etc...) or T2 (iYuffie, Master Sora, Limit Sora, etc...).

Yes, we're going to get a few strong single target light green attack medals coming up soon, if you're looking for AoE keep an eye out for Spoiler Medal 1, which will likely come from a banner and Spoiler Medal 2 which will come from a HSC.
I know you said no VIP but this medal is pretty good, now Japan got this as VIP we're not sure what SENA is going to do with this one. It's possible they could just add it in as filler into one of there 4 new premium type banners or they could do the 2 week VIP thing.
Besides those, we're still going to have to wait a few months until we get this monster but I assure you this one is worth saving up for, especially if they do what JP did with the banner.

Man, seeing the pulls on the new falling deal...I've used free jewels and have done a total of 7 pulls. Literally nothing to show for it. I can't even.
You and me both. I was able to guilt Illustrated KH2 Sora, but that's not nearly worth what I put into it. Just shows that you should never look at other's results as motivation for doing anything. It's unfortunate we both had to learn that this way.
nicoga3000
Saint Nic
Yeah, I usually don't care. But between the two falling deal banners, I've pulled somewhere between 22-26 times (lost count), and have none of the featured medals. I pulled twice on JP and got featured medals each time. It's just so fucking weird how bad the Global RNG is.

I've been playing less than a month, and I can do 500k+ damage with my current set up.
When I get Tifa & Aerith, I'll be able to get 1 million damage real easy.
Insane how my JP account is better than my global account.
My JP account is whale-like but I'm pure F2P on it.

At least I was able to complete the Donald / Goofy board and the first Mirrors one. ¯\_(ツ

Unless they offer some serious added effects to my game I ain't even bothering with UC.
Free jewels and Magic Mirrors aren't good enough for you?
Yeah, most likely. I'm just saying that I've never been this high before. Definitely gunning for a Second Chance II though.
Too much effort. The very first uc board I completed by just logging into a game and letting it sit numerous times to get enough medals. But I grow tired of that crap. The 10 jewels for hundreds of medals just isn't worth it and I get enough Mirror just from events and proud. UC is a horrible feature.

"there'll be two bonus hours to help us out each day at 12.00 and 22.00 JST
during bonus hour, you'll only need to defeat two fierce eggs, rewarded lux is doubled and the raid boss's level will go up by ten each time it's defeated"
But that was for the old raid boss and not new one for JP
edit:
"there'll be bonus hours each day at 19.00 and 23.00 JST; rare enemy appearance rates will increase during this time"
Is for the new raid for JP.
So there is one going on.
That's for Raid Boss Events. I don't know the particulars about how Cross multiplayer works in JP but before the Global version launched there was a graphic banner that displayed bonus times for double rewards. When Cross launched that banner was used but the bonus time text was missing.

Oh ya. That.
I only joined JP recently so idk if they've had it.
But global hasn't had it since the 'beta'?

Ever. It was in a graphic when they were advertising the new Union Cross update but the actual banner used in-game lacked the text and feature.
