Well I can retire happy with 4/5 Rainbow pulls being base 5*s. Especially since my first rainbow pull was Gilbert the week the game came out and I didn't know any better than to be disappointed.

For a swift one at the wrist, down on the old main drag.
Dropped 10 tickets, didn't get a single banner unit but I did manage to snag a Mercedes who I didn't have before and another buttman to add to the pile of buttmans I currently have. So without tms, who's the better option for damage between Firion Mercedes and cheese? I did grab the gigas axe last event so I do have a somewhat decent weapon for Mercedes, and I'm probably not too far off from getting a doublehand tm.

My cheese is already maxed but I wasn't sure who to work on first and dump a bunch of power pots on between the 3. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Bonus to friend stats based on usage

I've been thinking it would be cool and good if you got a chance at TM increases if your friend unit got used but I'd also be OK with actual stat pot like boosts. Is that what this is in JP?

So who is Leon's TM best for? I pulled him this morning but I don't think I have anyone that can really utilize it, at least not yet.

Bartz could make good use of it. Already gets a bonus from swords and can equip heavy armor.

Slogged through ELT, once I got through the bombs on the boss, winning was boring and inevitable with a DC Refia. Used a couple of remedies and Buttz only had to suicide twice. Wish there was some balance between making it hard and making it last forever. I guess it's only a couple of times a month that there are fights that really drag on. At least Arena is still quick this round. Dual cast is still allowed and status effect skills are out, so most everything is a one round win.

e:Couldn't stand having all those Gigantaurs sitting around so stuffed them into Cupid Art. Artemios was my only decent physical attack unit for months so I have a soft spot for him. Would be decent if I fed him some pots maybe, well not really...

If you have a Refia, dualcast. With that and a Cecil tank it's basically cheat mode as long as she isn't one shotted.

You're right, in the FF2 event I struggled a bit being forced to heal with Cecil and thus dropping Provoke or not defending and getting low on HP. That'll be a huge help.

Doubt it. It will likely be like the free summons where you get a banner that specifically grants it during the event.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
ELT done. Figuring how white magic was used during the fight, not done. Eight tries to get RNG behaving in the face of Provoke.

Noct who is too important to not have pulled, ExDeath for the summons I swear I previously saw resummoned, Cecil for being Cecil, Luka for totally not using white magic, CoD who mainly was there for man-eater, and a 700+ MAG Darth Fina. Gotta be on your toes. Gilgamesh next ok.

None of my votes mattered because Noctis will win 5* and Chizuru will win 4* most likely. I already have both so I voted for Luneth and Luka.

I voted Miyuki for 3* because I have yet to pull one and could really use her TMR.

Vote Zidane for 3* you goddamn monsters. :mad:

We also get a new UI, a free 11 pull, the FF14 raid in March along with Type-0 part 2.

Praise the Emperor for bringing us such good tidings! Now if only I could pull him...

A +120 atk lightning element gun is huge for anyone who actually managed to pull Lightning as well since it'll let you make use of her skill's -lightning resist effect. Assuming this guy isn't better to use it with.

I watched the video before it got taken down; it's definitely official. Also Odin's coming on the 23rd, FFXIV raid in March, some QoL improvements to the UI (crafting tabs, can see amount of summon tickets on summon screen).

Orlandu in April then, maybe?

...They're going to add Orlandu and then have the goddamn Veritas or OK banner right after it at this rate.

NinjaDebugger posted:

It's hard, but not impossible. At least one person did a proof of concept beating it with no 5 star bases and only one TM (dualcast on Refia), and it's probably doable without even that, just difficult.

And those of us without Refia are pretty much hosed. Again. At least we'll get our welfare Y'shtola next month. :confuoot:

Be realistic. How lovely would it look for them to do it directly AFTER the Orlandu banner? Even Gumi doesn't want that PR.

Some part of me thinks this announcement is in response to some of the immediate outcry that happened after the earlier one, especially given how they mentioned we just didn't have as big a 5* pool. Nintendo just released FE Heroes, there's like two other Final Fantasy mobile games going strong. Saying something that would make your whole player base super mad at you sounds like a good way to just have a sudden drop in users and money.

Got the HP+15% on my second try,

Cecil / Noctis/ Ace / Exdeath / Ling / friend Tilith

I wish I had another Exdeath instead of Ace, it would've gone way faster, but oh well. Ling/Tilith were the MVPs, Ling refills so much mp and Tilith a really good skill healer.

TMs were dual cast on Ace, and Omnirod on Exdeath.

Finally got a Lightning over 700 ATK. Have a black cowl and Chiri cooking that will get her to 750+. No Brave Suit and 2 materia slots that are meh, but I'll take it.

Are we getting a shot at another decent mage anytime soon? Sitting on some mage pots and wondering if I should just dump them into ExD #3. Already have a D. Fina and 2 Ex's at the pot max.

FE Heroes has no relevant to FFBE beyond "it's a mobile game to spend money on" and it'd be like saying since PAD exists that FFBE could lose players for doing a dumb thing. Even FFRK is a significantly different game from FFBE. They're both FF-themed but that's it. Even their battle systems are significantly different (simple ATB vs more in depth turn-based).


Giving Gumi the benefit of the doubt is unwise. I'd love to be proven by them on this though.

That's kind of the point though. If a new game comes out and you do nothing but annoy your user base, chances are they're going to go play with their new toys instead. Especially when FE: Heroes is offering a similar sort of nostalgia appeal without getting bogged down by a hundred original characters.

She's likely quite useful when the Gilgamesh Trial comes around, given his suite of elemental attacks, particularly if you're sealing most of them and can provide 70% against the one you're not locking out and letting him hit you with. She also has a double strength Imperil.

Probably for exploit prevention. I force closed the app due to a mis-tap and I ran into the same thing. Most other fights allow you to force close to redo a turn but Gumi's been catching on recently and I think the Dark Fina fight had something similar.
