New rank in the Colosseum available starting tomorrowright now, with some rare items.

Also the apology stamina item has a 5 day expiration apparently, rather than the usual 30. I tend to hoard the NRG for weekends with special events like Magicite, but will use it today for the maze or tomorrow for the new event instead.

New Colosseum is actually today.

Ugh, 7th shantotto. The problem with that is the Tom seems so useful and I would take as many as possible, so I'm stuck with him.

Is there any reason to use Charlotte over Cecil, or even keep her around?

I've got 3 of them and her TM doesn't even seem particularly noteworthy, so unless there's benefit to mashing them together I'm just going to get rid of her.

Tm's good for boosted defense on healers/ peeps with no off-hand equippables, and she has a sidequest and exclusive aoe esuna granting shield, so most likely ffbe original chara candidate for getting 6* someday.

I've got cecil too, so probably not gonna actually use her either, at least until/if she gets 6*.

There's also the fact that until Cecil gets his 6 star, she is just flat out better than him. Her limit break trades the spirit boost for full party heal, and she covers allies at 50%

Yeah I can understand Disease not being curable by Esuna because that's been true in the games where it appears but Esuna has always cured stone in the games. Ugh, guess I'd better make a Stona for Lenna then.

6* Vaan, hooray! Looks like he keeps his Gungnir, gets a Barrage (Luna at 68.2% TM) and will be a permanent part of any team I make. His commands will be easy: Full Break, Focus, Barrage, repeat. Might need some of Tellah's MP+30% on longer battles to keep that going, or just barrels of Turbo Ethers.

Also, base 5* units in Gumi's gatcha scheme are bullshit. I've never even seen a rainbow crystal.

Yeah it's really loving dumb. Like how Roselia's LB is "aoe cure and status removal" except it doesn't remove several status effects. At least Stona is easy to get and you get free accessories to make Lenna immune to silence/stun/stone so you only have to worry about confusion unless you can TM grind a ribbon.

Wait, doesn't awakening a unit reset LB progress? Or does it just clear the bar?

It increases the number needed to go to the next level.

3* takes 300 at Level 1.
4* takes 700.
5* takes 1500.

When awakening it keeps the current progress on a level in numerical, not percentage, terms. So if you're at 150/300 when you awaken, it becomes 150/700 rather than maintaining a half-full bar at 350/700.

Short story: don't awaken a 3* Cecil, ExDeath, Lenna, or (insert good LB buff/debuff character here) if you want to efficiently level that LB up.

Also all the quests and vault keys, etc. I want to stop running the maze, but spending energy on anything else just seems wasteful...

5* base, 4* base, and a character who can't equip weapons! I think I'll sit this next banner out entirely, I can't get a 4*+ base character at all (I started with the... Chiziru/Kefka/Golbez? banner and I've pulled a fair bit on the WoL banner and the facebook banner) and Alma just sounds awkward and I still have a Lenna.

Unless you direly need him for hard content right now, keep him low stars. His lb is REALLY good levelled up and it's REALLY hard to get it up at later *'s.

You got that right. You will never. It have anything to do in this game, especially if you have the Cavern Ore for 3 (!!!) Shining Splendors...
