Anyone here play Final Fantasy Brave Exvius?

[tvstrip]

Yeah, I got the other Soleil from the Tomb raider event (I'm a sucker for time-limited stuff), but the original is the one that has all the killer buffs/debuffs. As if a 4-stat 120% buff wasn't enough, she simultaneously debuffs the corresponding enemy stat too. If the enemy isn't immune to debuffs it's often a cakewalk.

So, now we're getting a Cloud step-up? I was lucky to pull him a while ago (off-banner), but obviously there's no way I can afford to do it now after doing the full Sephy step-up. How about you? His TMR is supposedly one of the best for DH builds.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I still have my Soleils at level 1.

I'm not wasting lapis on the step ups right now. I'd only want Cloud for collection more than anything. 25k is a lot to me. This maintenance is crap! Why did they change the times? It used to be 3-4am my time when it was over. This 11am is crap.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Pulled Elfreeda. Marshal glove looks good. Used 8 tickets so far >_<

 

[tvstrip]

Congrats on pulling Elfie. I feel so left out with all my friends pulling her, but after pulling Sephy I need to build up my lapis. I did get an off-banner cloud before so this banner isn't as vital so it's easier for me to pass. At this point I'm not sure what I should be saving up though...

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I'm just going to save my lapis. I haven't done a daily 1/2 pull for a few now. Already up in lapis nor have I refreshed. I want to get my lapis up to 20k at minimum. 27k before I spend. But we will see how that goes :1orglaugh

Yeah Elfreeda seems to be great for long-term use. Cloud seems best for TMR but some the builds my friends had of him were OTKO and if up against a tough trial their Clouds LB definitely helped out if I got that far. In the mean time despite being a recycle of units minus Ukio. Those TMRs they have are great in long run. I won't mind duplicating for expedition units.

Have you seen the rewards for the raid? Excalibur?? Just got it yesterday night, but wow, that's pretty cool, and it's barely halfway up the prize track! I'm going all in on the raid because I need that King Burst so I can finally awaken my Sephy who has been stuck at 5*.

Also. it took 150 turns but I finally got Ramuh. I had a friend with a full evade, 230%, thunder resist, auto refresh TT. Even with I wasn't even doing 1% dmg/turn because thanks to that osmose the only ****** option is the 0mp chaos wave. But he's my main esper for TT so I really wanted him at 3*.
Haven't looked at Shiva, but I think she uses osmose too, which is going to be another pain...

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Shiva is kicking my damn ass and ******* me off. My Mystea does well on mag barrier, a friend unit of mine has a full evade, 150% ice res Basch. Ugh. My party gets wiped out and my friend's Basch is only equipped for ice res and evade. It'd literally take me 6 hours to beat so I give up and run

It's fun but rage inducing... I want my Shiva. She's my fave of all the summons. But she's playing hard to get.

Yeah I'm now two away from Excalibur! All these tickets. And the moogles for banner units! I have my one Elfreeda, 4 Conrads and 3 Williams.

How do you need a King Burst to take Sephiroth to awalen level 6?

 

[tvstrip]

I make it a habit of maxing out most 5* LBs before awakening them, since if you start at 6* it's almost impossible. If you start at 5* you can get your LB up to Lv20, so the remaining 5 levels aren't nearly as bad (even though it's still expensive). You basically cut the burst pots you need to less than half, which is huge when you consider how many you need to max them at 5*/6*.

For Sephy I used enough pots so I need exactly 1 King burst pot to get his LB to Lv20. I still have Tidus, OK#2 still at 5* for the same reason.

Shiva is hot. All of her animations are cool. I'm in no rush to get her though since she still doesn't give osmose, and while her breaks are good, I still don't see any new 3* skills that are "must haves". Ramuh has those killers which are really useful.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Ah, nice to know. I rarely do LB raises except for a few units here and there. I check now and again on this one thread about which LB to focus on or leave alone. With my current party only LB I really use is CG Fina (hers provide damage and reraise) along with Loren to unlock her 3 special abilities.

So I attempted Malboro again. I had a set up. Barbariccia friend unit with ********, 1200mag, the works. My Mystea set up for dark resistance, decent def, damn well wiped out on fifth move!

You get any raid coin moogles yet?

 

[tvstrip]

Some LB's are really worth Maxing. OK DOUBLES your atk buff (among other things) for example. I find any with a buff/debuff effect is usually worth it.

I haven't got any raid moogles except for 1 Marshal Glove moogle, and I don't have Elfie. I did cash in enough coins to craft that Elf Staff. I figured it you're only allowed to make 1 of them, it must be worth it.

And I got my King burst from the Explorations! 6* Sephy~~



Um.. why is it showing you as ******? I hope it's a joke, or temporary??

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Have no fear. It was a case of mistaken identity on my few day vacation.

Anyways back to our regularly scheduled topic! Out of like 130k spent raid coins I got 2, cound 'em 2! 1% all moogles lol a lot of dolks been talking about the lack of unit specific moogles. Some spent over 2-400k raid coins and came up with nothing. This Rat boss is proving to be a pain! Get him down to 30% and wiped out.

 

[tvstrip]

Good to see you back!

I got a evade Basch carry for the rat. All I needed to do was provide an enhanced Minifila for the stop/para resist, and whatever DPS I could afford. (Do NOT ****** it with magic as it will wreck you! - TT's Chaos wave is fine though). Basch was on a strict rotation of Dawn Guard-Provoke-Lament. With this setup it was actually too easy and I ****** it 3 times before I got the magic **** moogle since I was ******* it too quickly.

Keep in mind the rewards for this trial are pretty crappy. The balloon was supposed to be better but got nerfed.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Yeah I wondered what was up with that balloon! 15% chance of being targeted :1orglaugh

I'm only interested in the other 3 rewards. I'm ticket hoarding. Neir Raid should be coming back. I'll be honest I want some Ariana raids back so I can get some them mag weapons for expeditions. I dropped the ball cos I didn't understand raids back at that time.

Thanks for the strategy. I'll set my ability air ability units up for better damage and wipe this rat out. I tried Shiva out again. Ugh. I had ice resistance, mag and physical AoE, and still got wiped the floor with cos one key always dies somehow this is a hell of a fight.

Guess I better take advantage of cactus dunes and golden egg and level my better provoke, defend and AoE guard units.

This weekend was pretty productive for trials. Aside from red rat, I also got carries for the Ice bird & Echidna.
The Ice bird was unique, it was just a VoH, and all you did was the auto-revive. The counters whittled it down (despite there being TEN of those little birds), and then when you hit 3%, you summon ifrit and he wipes them all out.
Echidna was a evade M.Ramza. You literally just hit auto and it did everything for you.

The Ice hurricane from the IceBird is really useful in the arena. Pair it with a noctis blizzard flask and you've got a deadly elemental chain+stop combo which is unstoppable unless they have a really good ayaka.

Other than that, it seems like a slow week. The raid is good, but the other thing is a re-run, so I've just been hitting the story mode. I'm almost through Gungan now. If you haven't done it yet, I'd recommend it since there's a really good battle/cutscene near the end.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I just did Enchidna too! Didn't get the ability. And I had Enchidna down to 14% but was afraid to use esper so I did one more round. Dammit if my Orlandeau friend unit didn't wipe it out >_< and I accidental hit depart just as I did I went nooooo I have 6 units lol

Congrats on ice bird! I am struggling there. I did just read this morning someone posted up their solo unit for ice bird. But I prefer to take it out traditionally. On event bosses and that kind I will do a solo unit friend.

I'll try your strategy when I get my units up to par for covers and evade.

In the story line I just defeated sol the 2nd time. I kind of lost interest in the plot but still keeping up with it. Everything else on weekly events and whatnot I just hit skip.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Dammit!!!! I was 70 win in Arena and lost a damn match. To a pussy team. But damn clicker was not in my fave. Fuckers

 

[tvstrip]

Stop Spam?

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Stop Spam?

There was stop but Aria can take care of it and luckily it wasn't her. I had *****, paralysis, and stone on all but one. ****** my Fina first round. It lasted 6 rounds but got wiped out. It was a hell of a fight though. Just pissed me off I want my hundred wins

 

[tvstrip]

How does Aria counter stop?

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Oh my fault. I was thinking stone not stop. I do have nullify stop but I'm reluctant to put it on and take away better abilities.
