So what's the easiest way to start playing this without being in Sweden? I've never installed anything any other way but through the app store on anything. I have an iPhone and a Galaxy tablet, so whichever would be easier to do it on.

It went live globally today so uh, go to the app store friend and enjoy.

Also for all the new players add your info to the spreadsheet and add a bunch of goon friends

Download it off the play store or whatever apple users do, it's out globally now.

I caved in and used all 22 of my tickets I had, I got an Exdeath, I think it was worth it.

I booted a bunch of inactives, I'm currently running 5* Garland (lvl 80) with 2* Shiva (lvl 12) equipped and Murasame (224 atk, 105 mag, 171 def, 2748 hps) until I get my new Exdeath awakened a couple of times.

Is there any way to reroll if it is tied to Facebook on iOS? Can't seem to clear the data.

Once you get Garland to 5* he's a beast. He's carried me through everything so far.

If you're looking to wreck poo poo via Black Magic, Vivi's good. He gets Double Cast, allowing you to cast 2 Black Magic Spells in a turn.

Well my pull was pretty garbage. Only 4-star unit was Rydia, the rest were stuff like Terra, Edgar, Penelo, and two Fran/Shadows. Was hoping I'd at least get Sabin since he's one of my favourites but ah well.

I'd reroll but I'm not sure how to do that on iOS (I don't think I've linked it to a FB account yet? Not sure).

Wait -- I haven't even voted in this game yet!

To re-roll:

Do the tutorial, make your rolls. If they aren't good enough...
Go to the Home screen.
Click Menu in the upper-right.
Click Options.
On the Account plaque, click Login. This brings you to a Facebook login; use a throwaway Facebook account until you find the team you plan to keep.
It'll ask you if you want to associate your account, give permissions, etc etc (it can't post to your Wall, don't worry), just click OK to everything.
It'll kick you back to the title/splash screen; navigate yourself back to Home->Menu->Options.
Now go to the Account plaque again and click Logout. It won't even ask if you're sure, it just kicks you back to the splash screen.

You're good to go at this point; as long as the splash screen has a "log in to Facebook" button, you're currently playing a fresh BE account. Just repeat the process (you can use the same throwaway account to log in with, you only need a new FB account for the units you plan to keep) until you're bored or you're happy with your units. If you're really enterprising, you can save rolls by making a new Facebook account for ones you might possibly want to keep and logging in to that account instead of your throwaway reroll account.

That's absolutely a keeper. It's better than my global account (Vaan, Garland, Duane, no healers to speak of) and I've been able to handle 100% of the story content available in the game without too much cursing. You have Maria, so you have a competent healer from the start instead of having to wait for the story mode healer 2/3 the way through the current content.

Exdeath is fantastic, Terra is also pretty great. Miyuki... has a really nice trust mastery reward. The rest cap at 4* but can be useful early on.

:siren: Just because you pull a 3 star unit from the rare summon doesn't mean it's bad since the best units available can start at 3 stars. :siren:

Kheldarn posted:

Unfortunately he's only a 4* unit with -ra spells so while he's good as far as 4* units goes he won't have the durability or overall power of the 5* mages, especially once you can start crafting -ra spells for those who need more elemental coverage. That said, a level 80 vivi buddy can solo (with some risk) the adv xp dungeon which is nice for leveling your unit(s) of choice early on. A 5* Exdeath/Terra buddy will do so with less risk though.

Yeah that's nice. Focus on Exdeath, then Vaan, and by then you'll probably have Fina and you can run Exdeath/Vaan/Fina/Lasswell/Celes(?) or something along those lines. Vaan's full break paired with cheer from Fina lets powerful melee units wreck enemies. I don't know if Celes would be considered a powerful melee unit (probably not) but Lasswell's good and the Murasame isn't too bad to obtain, especially since everyone now has a magitek terra for poisoning the white dragon.

Is there any way to tell how many stars unit is capped at?

Also, did the global release add anything new to the game from where it was previously, or is Grandport/Lanzelt Ruins still the end of the current game?

okay
Four 3-star Penelos in my first roll! :henget:

I did a little better and got 4* Rydia, 3* Cloud of Darkness, 4* Shadow, 5* Celes, 2 Galufs, 2 Cyans, Luna and Russel.

There is probably a lot of tutorial repeating ahead of me

edit: 5* ExDeath! 4* Galuf, 4* Vivi, Cline, Edgar, Sabin, more Vivis I may just keep this one

That's one of the shittiest starts possible considering they are giving you 11-12 free pulls. Don't be lazy and reroll.

They're always the same. All of the ones on the first island are utter trash, ignore them. The Brave Exvius Global Wiki has excellent maps for each of the towns and exploration zones, including labeling the locked chests and showing what their contents are.

How do you try to match a new account with a separate facebook account? I had linked some saved rolls with one facebook account, but my phone seems to want to automatically log me into that facebook account every time I hit the log in button without a way to switch accounts.

You may have to log out of Facebook on your phone, outside of Brave Exvius. It seems to vary a bit whether that's needed or not.

Probably more efficient to start with a dream team and not waste time/exp/materials on units that'll get benched later, but you can get through most of the game just fine with anyone tbh.

Reroll, they give you 12 rerolls worth of stuff there isn't going to be a better time later on. Preregister stuff is in the inbox after tutorial, no code.

Much like buttholes, families are meant to be tight.
Yeah, you can get through all of the content without rerolling but people are saying to reroll because you get 12 free rolls due to the launch event, as opposed to 1. Now is the best time (when starting fresh) to get one of the top tier units that will carry you without having in-app it.
