I'm up to 20 rerolls and this is the best pull I've gotten:

4*: Exdeath, Vivi
3*: Exdeath, Krile, Vivi, Figaro

I fed the vivi and exdeaths into each other for trust bonuses but I still feel I should reroll for at least two of the top5 instead of settling...on the other hand, its exdeath, the best unit in the game

Do not fuse premium characters into each other for trust mastery. You should be using both together in the same team to build up trust mastery to 50 on each and then feed them together to get to 100 faster.

You done goofed son. Should've kept both and had yourself a super tree mage party. The only thing better than a party with two exdeaths is one with three.

And honestly, you probably shouldn't fuse top-tier characters together period. 2 Exdeaths on the same team are pretty close to twice as good as 1 Exdeath.

Just rescued the king back at Rain and Lasswell's house.

Haven't started to crank on Cyan, Edgar, Biggs, Anzelm or the others... I don't see myself as gimped at all for not having a top-tier draw from the beginning. This is gonna turn out okay.

On one hand, you only have CoD as a top tier. On the other, CoD is a fabulous top-tier and having her start at 5* is incredibly cushy.

Honestly, if you're sick of rerolling, this is good enough. Something like
CoD, Rydia, Cyan, Laswell, plus Fina when you get her (in the meantime to that, just stick whoever in the fifth slot. Maybe Rain)

They'd want to use Maria in the last slot because healing is kinda useful unless you're hilariously overleveled for content. A lvl 80 CoD can probably solo the first island though :shrug:

My god the Dragon boss of S-5 Int is terrible. He can two shot Fina and Roselia with physical attacks even when Power Break and Cheer (or protect) are in effect. Need to get some high success rate blind abilities to have any sort of hope (and maybe blade bash though it's rate sucks).

Yeah, she's not the best long-term healer (though she does get a 5 star upgrade eventually) but IMO she's the best new account healer. AOE heal LB, the two most important status cure spells for the early game, both Cure and Cura, and all in the first half of her 3 star form. Oh, and she can use bows to contribute a little to autoattack damage.

The next best is Anzelm, who loses out on the AOE heal LB and bow access vs Maria but makes up for it with having offensive magic to help with elemental chains.

My party for it is Lasswell/Xiao/Exdeath/Fina/Roselia. It'd be fine if it wasn't for the whole "your healer got hit twice and died from full HP instantly, through buffs/debuffs" thing. What's the best way to keep the jerk blinded?

I'm one of those jerks that cruised through the story on the backs of massively OP friend leaders so healing didn't factor in much before I'd already picked up Fina :v:

Do put some work into Edgar though, if just to get Bio Blaster. That skill will make your life easier at some point.

Vaan, Firion, Lasswell(or Kain), Vivi, Krile.

Would a Mirage Vest armour for Fina help you? It gives the equipped character a 12 MP Mirror Image ability that allows it to dodge 2 attacks.

I have made over 700 pulls since global launch (lots and lots and lots and lots of rerolls looking for any party with Exdeath + anything else useful) and have seen zero Artemioses, Kefkas, Golbezes, or Lockes.

Of course, I've also seen zero Celeses and I know she's in the pool.

If you get some good pulls with your initial characters, and just use your lapis for energy refreshes while TM grinding, you can have maxed TM's as well by running 1 energy stages over and over.

I was holding out for 2+ of the "best" guys, and I did finally get that. Would 2 CoDs and a Bartz be worth starting with? I didn't really end up with anyone magic capable but I assume maybe I'll pick someone up eventually or just make do.

As really good units go I have Vaan, Bartz, and Garland, but they're kind of underwhelming early because they all (especially Bartz) require crazy equipment! My MVP for actually playing the game has been Shantotto.

CoD actually has a decent magic stat. Unfortunately CoD doesn't have any ability slots until 6* which is Japan only at this point. So CoD is stuck with fire and esper abilities for now.

It's not that big a deal, you can just unlock a different one tomorrow. Anyway, the only two Vortices I consider worthwhile are Awakening (Awakening-INT is the best source in the game for Sacred Crystals and Holy Crystals for awakening units) and Experience (not as useful but sometimes you just want to powerlevel a unit so you can awaken them). The normal crafting materials will be plentiful enough before you really need to craft anything. And also note that if you ever need the basic elemental Crysts, you can set them as your Friend Gift Request.
