Noooooooooo I forgot to sign in and lost a 150 day streak. 
even if there was it wouldn't matter.
there are two timers
the consecutive log in streak, which counts up each day and repeats rewards every 8 days and then the daily log in streak which is what the milestones are at and it doesn't matter if they were consecutive or not thus they would just get to 200 a day later than before.
Oh well then that's fine and dandy then.

If this works, you all should get in on it.
Free SS (Yulia) with delicious coin stealing skills, and free A (Ethereal) with precious debilitate skill.

So latest patch got datamined, and seems new future Lamia COOP boss will be super weak to poison.
I have no clue who's going to be useful in this. :O

Grace will be the MVP again.
Pupru can inflict demoralize, poison & sleep randomly with its mood swings.
Zafitte J2 has Poison Area 2 and Venom 1 Row.

Don't forget about Ellvern, he has 1 column of venom and AoE poison.

Generally I level a character to 35 for the third skill first before switching jobs. Getting them to 20 should be a minimum though.
Unless the skill at 35 isn't that good, then yeah go to at least 20 for the extra slot is best.

Leviathan was more generous than Bahamut for me this week.
Got SB to 50% from 6%.
Now for Odin tomorrow, the most annoying of the 3 to farm.
Also, seems they added an Achievement panel in the Friend's menu, but nothing in it yet.
EDIT: LAMIA IS UP! Alongside Odin week... whaaaaaat!

After playing Lamia a lot, I have to say ...
... I guess I'm not going to get Lamia! This difficulty jump is insane. Every status effect, including Death, only Poison does respectable damage (which is an S class exclusive skill, though I have it so that's not the problem), capped at level 35 so Panacea is out of reach, can only take 2 adventurers. Simply beating her is ridiculous even with an ideal team, let alone farming her upgrade items. This has got to be some sort of stamina sink, haha.

I just had a Lamia run where the host used up 5 energy.
I was laughing my ass off each revive. It was just so damn ridiculous.
Worst part is we didn't cap it. It only dropped a Harp upgrade item.

Took 2 days for promotion to go through, but it does work.Thanks, it worked !
Nabbed Yulia and Ethereal
I had both characters though, but nabbed the free metal tickets and item powerup codes.
So Lamia is a weird one. I'm not sure if she's going to get the nerf bat or something.
She's a challenge, but feels like 75% of it depends on having that perfect poison team.
So in one way, it doesn't seem fair for those who didn't RNG the right units to fight her.
(I'm comparing this to the other CO-OP bosses)

i'll be honest, i touched the eidolon things the 1st day and never again. i tried getting back into it, and the lamia fight is pure unadulterated BULLSHIT. status effects up the wazoo.
i guess the strategy is to bring status removal units and keep them away from the mobs and let the poison slowly dwidle them to death?
im having trouble understanding how the low level requirement works with skill sets.
can soemone explain again?

You pretty much nailed the hatred of all those in tears trying to beat Lamia right now.
It's hardcore in the way that you need to dodge pretty much every single mob, or else the sleeping or confused guy will be petrified or doomed.
I think they should tone down on the melee and magic immunity. This limits character choices by too much.
I hosted a Lamia room with a nearly optimal team (Ellvern/R'zonand/Bonna/Kana/Gugba/Palpa) and it was smooth sailing until someone let everyone remain in status effect range on the second to last floor on the last tick of poison needed to kill everything. The enemies use skills before they take damage from poison, so the boss proceeded to wipe the floor with everyone because a couple turns got skipped, FML. It feels impossible to find people with Bonna/Zeera to cure petrification, so many Kanas out there. Because of the two person party limit you pretty much don't want any duplicate characters in there.

That's another problem there.
Those 2 (and Ellvern; another good hero) are S rank, which makes them more rare to get, and thus harder to find public people who have them (and also bothered leveling them up).
I don't know what the drop rate on the knight of penta and harpes is but I'm winning like... feels like 5-10% of the attempts vs. Lamia. Even when we win, it's dropped a Hierophant or nothing at all, which is just despair.
Well, I'm getting tolerably acquainted with losing slower vs. Lamia at least. I know what they say about "if the one constant is you, then maybe you're the problem" but I swear it's not cause I'm bad at the game! I've seen the terrabattleforum chat, everyone's having the same issues haha.
Man.

There's always one guy who doesn't know about the petrify/death monster, or if you get to Lamia some people can't seem to remember when Lamia does her Ram Bash attack.
Holy crap, I hosted a public game and we beat Lamia without using any continues. The team was nearly perfect though. I brought Olber and Ellvern and the other people had Bonna/Zafitte/Kana/R'zonand. Everyone was pretty good about using hit-and-run tactics and avoiding status effects, but there are so many tricky parts to this fight. My Olber is only around 10% skill boost, but I think he's the only melee character I'd recommend for the fight. He can kill the green lizards in one shot if Giga/Megaspear both trigger, plus he can heal the entire chain for 1500 HP and has +defense capsules. Just amazing. I really need to skill boost him.
Even if you can avoid status effects, I think the "on/off" nature of everything is too intricate. Since the status effect mobs alternate their skills It's "easy" if everything is timed just right, but I would sometimes realize it's my turn and not remember what skills they had just used; to play it safe, I'd just avoid attacking at all when there may have been an opening. It's hard to juggle that information while also poisoning Lamia because she uses Panacea every other turn, so you have to remember if it's even worth poisoning her on that turn or not. Then you have to hope all the eidolons line up just right, because you need a Chaos summon ASAP on the Lamia floor to get an extra tick of poison in there and avoid the Basilisk's petrify/death attack and Lamia's panacea. My team was able to get a Valkyrie 3 attack within two turns of Lamia summoning all those Perenties, which OHKOs everything. After that it's simple, but so many things have to go right during this fight it's crazy.

Finally captured Lamia.
I kept getting items, which I thought was weird before getting the main Eidolon.
This was the fourth game where host used up a bunch of energy.
I guess this is a win for Mistwalker in some ways. :O

fuckign whales mang....
I hate her.
Hate hate hate hate hate.
Hate.
Give it some time and I can look back on this and say "hey, this encounter was unique and fun and really changed the dynamics of pincering and positioning and being hyper aware of Area(1) enemy range and the importance of having a diverse party and made seeming strange S/SS rank exclusive skills like Poison and Chain Death Ward useful" but at this very moment, I hate her so much.

Zafitte is top tier for Lamia, and with Kana you're pretty much set for it.
With that combo, you want the level 2 Chaos Eidolon level for the skip turn skill.
(you basically poison units while summoning, and let poison hit during that extra turn)
Although you can run without it once you've learned the fight.
Now all you need to do is join a game, and just remember which monsters to avoid putting your units nearby so they don't get sleep, confused, demoralized, petrified or doomed. Set up the attack to poison from 2 squares afar, kill Lizards with melee guys, etc.
Honestly, after 2 runs you'll get the basics of the fight.
As for the other 3 Eidolon, I think you might be screwed a little with the lack of people running them now, UNLESS you're the one hosting. They're easier than Lamia though.
I wouldn't mind being host, I barely go through my energy once per day as it is. But yeah, I don't have any eidolons. I think.
How do the coop battles work? are you controlling everyone's characters or just your own?

I came so close to spending money on this today
it's evil and addictive

Thank you for the heads up. I received my bookwalker.jp coins today (I had already given up on them since I didn't receive anything within the first three days after registering) and bought the guide right away. Yulia looks like a useful character for money grinding.
I got a gift card today for 50 google play bucks.. I think I'm about to spend 10 and make it an even 60 for 100 energy. I'm doing it guys. Hopefully I don't pull some duds.

The promotion ended two days ago.
I'm too scared to do it. I'm thinking that I need to get PoF completely out of the way before trying it. Even then don't the story character still pop up in PoT?
