Anyone here play Final Fantasy Brave Exvius?

[~~whimsy~~]

I read elsewhere somebody spent over 125 dollars until finally pulled a LMS! Crazy. Some my friends have him at 1500+ def and when my party got hit for 1200-2300 hp LMS only took 31 damage lol

I did not. I been reading about people reminiscing about their first time in this raid. Now it's easy. I started playing this game in July of last year. I was so confused because I remember my first Ariana event. I thought what the hell is this??? :1orglaugh

Yeah they pale in comparison to what what I have equipped to my main team. However these moogles will get me to the draco spike for my TT a lot quicker. Almost have Gungir. Sadly I do not own Roberta. I just received the dragon's roar recipe. It might replace icy death I have on my VoL.

You defeat Dragonlord yet?

LMS is a gold. It shouldn't cost that much to get him. Statistically golds are 20% (so 1 in 5) and since it's a banner unit if they get the gold it's basically a 3-way draw. I find it hard to believe they needed to spend that much to pull him.

Do you have Noctis? When I did the raid last year, he was a no-brainer for the Bahamut craftables. As long as you have DW (which you should from the prev KM event), give him the roar & fang, and that will trigger 2 of his passives, boosting his stats massively. Plus IIRC the dragon killers stack, so he'll have an insane kill rate against dragons (Dragonlord?).

Speaking of which, yes, I just beat him thanks to a whale. He had a evade/100% Fire resist Noctis, so I needed was my slime who just kept hiding the entire time, and it was OBAMA.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

From what I been reading Dragonlord is easier to obtain than LMS. I pulled a Orochi on my 1/2 daily. Golem in a 5k pull (I don't know why I wasted 5k. Hush lol)

But indeed 125. I remember going through thirty whatever tickets and getting nothing but blues and I think 1 gold. This was between morning and evening. I was trying for Barbariccia I believe. Pissed me off. I ended up getting her couple weeks after banner ended. After that I told myself I wouldn't waste like that again. I use maybe 5 tickets at once if I'm feeling feisty.

I had Noctis, but in my noob days I sold him...

Say what??? Who are these people?? Well, I can't say it's not true for certain because I have neither, but still, it sounds outrageous.

My condolences on the loss of your Noctis
I am reading though that if you write to Gumi, they will give you a 1-time pass and restore a unit you sold by mistake. I doubt you'll make that error again, and Noctis is totally worth begging for...

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Yes. I know there are three LMS on my friend list and like ten Dragonlords. All I know is summons are definitely a fickle beast. I just wish they'd put some units in the summons pool into the friendship pool. The pool is getting too big and a good bit is crap.

From two reports the 1 time restore only goes back three months, except for magi tech terra if obtained previously. It is still being discovered if it is equipment, etc or units eith the limit. If this case I would love my 2nd Trance Terra back for 7* future badassery

 

[tvstrip]

I would assume the reason you're seeing more Dragonlords on your friend lists is probably because he gives a bigger bonus and your friends want to help you.

Right now I'm busy taking care of the over 700000 Garuda coins. I did it all at once so I ended up with almost 2000 units LOL

 

[tvstrip]

Well, several hours later... finally done. I have an army of Ysh's for explorations and a fair number of "true" TMRs. So don't sell your 100% ones, they still have a use!
I hear Spirit of Freedom CAN be stacked with True Spirit of Freedom, so that might be the extra push you need to get that evade unit.



And....

Did you hear the word?

He

is

Coming...

This week!

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I have at least 1 of each of the True abilities. I at least grinded for that. However Sephiroth is showing up this week? Whatever shall I do concerning CG Lid??? My tickets :1orglaugh

Ugh I am about to betray my F2P code (not really) but ugh... Gumi is killing me right now.

Question. Amelia, Tidus or Orlandeau on abilities? I have so many crysts yet I want to have longterm. With Sephi coming I am conflicted in case they give him awakenings. What to do?

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Here you are for a build of Sephiroth. Looking at it all... I will try 5 of my 4* tickets over two days. After consideration of 2 heqvy units in my eyes coming up I will play it safe and try my best to stay above 20 tickets

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/8hn5g9/sephiroth_damage_calculations/

 

[~~whimsy~~]

The game rewarded me today but I think spat in my face setting me up with ticket failures for Sephiroth's introduction. I pulled two golds back to back: Veritas of the Earth and William. I have VoE back! I sold him in my noob days, too :o

Did you see the other extras going on? 1/2 nrg for story, all chambers open and extra experience! They're definitely handing powerful Sephiroth's off for the weekend.

 

[tvstrip]

LOL no I didn't even notice the other bonuses. Unless I'm leveling up a unit, I don't think I even go to the enhancement vortexes.

So, are you doing the step up?
I'm still wondering. I mean, 50% to get Sephy? If were spending 25000 lapis, at least guarantee him!

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I go to enhance for cactuar dunes if need any. Kinda hoping for enchanter maze again.

I am not doing the step up. Even if I had the lapis that's a huge gamble to me. I read both happy and nightmare endings. I haven't had a rainbow yet. So I wouldn't put 25k lapis on the line being f2p lol

So far I done probably close to 15 tickets and shylt and mim. I read somebody used 100 tickets and no rainbow at all. Few off banner gold. That'd piss me off big time. For all 5 steps isn't it total of 75k lapis?

From what I am reading Lila is bit better than sephiroth. I am actually hoping I get Lila over him. Though both would be fantastic :1orglaugh

 

[tvstrip]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought each "step" is the same as a 10 summon, i.e 5000 lapis/step = 5 x 5000 =25K lapis.
I'm not sure how you got to 75K, but that seems insane, even by whale standards. Even buying the most cost effective bundle (the vault), that's $583!!!

You literally could get a current gen console and a couple AAA games for that price. Although I'm sure there are whales out there that would still do it.

For leveling up, have you compared the chamber of exp vs the dunes?
I thought the former was better because:
a) you didn't have to spend extra for the fusing
b) You're guaranteed 88 000 exp per run as opposed to the RNG determining how many king cacts you get
c) You don't have to use precious unit space.

Also, why are people saying Lila is better?

 

[~~whimsy~~]

So as I been reading, I gave it few days for changing opinions, but from what I have gathered Lila as 6* is stronger and quite Spr unit. Sephiroth is slightly under but from 7* and enhancements he will dom. To take Lila to 7* is pointless and better to tmr farm if dupe her. Sephiroth also from what I been reading chains well with tidus, onion knight and Orlandeau.

So I guess CG Lid is coming up. What a crappy banner. I have all these units for expedition whoring. But I been waiting for CG Lid. I will use all my resources.

I read the board too where one of the whales asked should I spend 375 dollars for CG Lid or take this gold digger out for a date? I cannot believe the amount of money people go through!

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I can't believe my first summon I use a 4* and received HT Lid! After no rainbows and decent hits here and there, the game showed mercy and kindness :1orglaugh

 

[tvstrip]

Well, I blew my load on Sephy
(On a porn board that sounds a little odd LOL)

I was hoping that I might get him, or at least a rainbow on any of the first 4 steps, but no. The only Rainbow I got was the Guaranteed 5*, which was my 2nd OK, so I guess that's ok. Sucks I won't be able to get another onion gauntlet for him.
I was getting seriously trolled by the RNG gods though; the majority of units were REALLY useless 3*, like Russel & Panelo. Even the golds where multiple copies of Silvia!

And the main event? Step 5, hold my breath and...


YES!
Got him.
Also just got a carry for the Mt Nibel Exploration so I have him equipped with his longcoat (not that it matters since he doesn't get any extra benefits from it)
With that 2nd OK I've got a triple threat DPS so I think I'm good for a while, at least for physical damage.

Well, looks like no daily pulls or any spending lapis for a while now, at least until I build up another 25K for the next one
Sorry CG Liddy, I guess it wasn't meant to be...
Congrats on getting her though! Hope you enjoy that animation

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Glad you got him! I can only imagine the frustration. I'm not messing with it. I found my correction. Can do the step 3 times so that's where 75k lapis came in. I was confused too so went back and reread. There was updates and few people did do the daggone step up all 3 times!!!

Lid is my fave. Redheads lol the only one I don't have is Artisan. It seems a lot of people got CG Lid right off the bat. Apparently she has a nice break. I'll try to find the explanation later.

As for your Lila question, I'm gonna pull for her now definitely. Here's what I came across:

"Well you would want to use her two moves that scale off SPR, on account her main bread and butter attack is a 10x mod.

So I would assume 600-700 spr is about 900-1000 atk."

"I remember seeing someone mention in another thread somewhere that 800ish SPR Lila can do the same damage output as a 1100 ATK Sephiroth or something like that (without imperils).

It's mainly because her Heaven Shift is a 10x mod. 10x is insane."

So Lilia I will try 2 tickets a day for but not killing my stash

 

[tvstrip]

Lid is my fave. Redheads lol the only one I don't have is Artisan. It seems a lot of people got CG Lid right off the bat. Apparently she has a nice break

How does she compare to E.Solei? I thought she was the ultimate breaker and wasn't even 5*. She is costly, but not too bad with all the gil caverns and story events, and has been doing a great job as my primary buffer/breaker.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I honestly don't know. I have both. And actually I think all Soleils... either way, apparently from what I read cg Lid surpassed. I'll look more into it.

I been lazy. Haven't even started new event. I'm burnt out from these raids and km events.

Still no Lila :/

I can't get past this damn exploration! The hard lvl

 

[~~whimsy~~]

4 golds in a row and no rainbow Lila. I am sick Shylt lmao
