current gilgamesh isnt really overly exciting but i dont have any experience with reberta at all to say. snowpetal is a cool name for an ability tho so i vote for gilgamesh

Snowpetal is kinda weird in that it's a reference to a really strong attack from SaGa games, which makes me wonder if we'll get crossover from that some day.

New feature over in the JP version: 3-star Eidolons. Siren and Ifrit were the first to get the new form. Base stats are a bit over double compared to the 2* form, with a max level of 60. A new tier of magicite is also out, which will help with those top levels.

Siren's a bit of a wimp, with 1.2 million health, but she'll put up massive buffs that have to be dispelled (or, in our case, stolen by Xon). You can oneshot her with the right setup, though she's immune to breaks. Ifrit, on the other hand, has 50 million health. It's an endurance fight, and you're at a huge disadvantage without both a physical and a magical tank on point. In terms of abilities, both fights are similiar to Dark Siren/Dark Ifrit, except fought one at a time.

As for board abilities, all of the 3-star hex squares cost an ever-increasing amount of SP to acquire, so you're going to have to plan out a specific build to shoot for.

Siren's 3* form adds Mage's Ballad (MP recovery song), Hero's Rime (Ramza's 40% stat buff song), Camouflage (passively decreases chance to be targeted), Vigorous Voice (passively reduces MP cost of all songs), Enhanced Summoning (boosts Siren's damage), Enhanced Elemental Defense (improves water resist up to 90% total), Barwatera, Watera and Imperil as new options. 3* Siren also gains immunity to silence as a baseline.

Ifrit's 3* form adds a second tier of Plant Killer and Beast Killer passives, 75% and affecting both magic and phys damage, Incinerate (think Titan's Tumult, AoE fire damage), Berserker (start battle under Berserk status), Enhanced Summoning (boosts Ifrit's damage), Enhanced Elemental Defense (improves fire resist up to 90% total), Provoke, Brave, Faith, and Barfira as new options. 3* Ifrit also gains immunity to darkness as a baseline.

Example of Ifrit's 3* grid: https://cdn.wiki.famitsu.com/files/attachment/000/237/272/full_upload.jpg

So a certain fix to stacking spells has just caused the value of Comet to rocket.

First, counters no longer break spells and abilities that require repeat casts to power up (IE: Dark Fina's Retaliate ruining Dysotpia). Next, stacks between abilities and spells are apparently bugged and shared.
This means that characters like D.Fina, Emperor or Zyrus can stack their abilities for a few turns then doublecasts Comet for maximum damage. Better explanation here.
Wondering if this is intended or truly bugged and fixed eventually.

From DefiantHermit's should you pull review:

"Global Trust Mastery Rating: Prodigy Goggles - +15 DEF/SPR, +2LB/Turn, Grant:: Scan - Accessory - 8.5/10

Niche, but great accessory for heavy LB users, as it provides passive LB gain and only takes an accessory slot. Scan is Libra, so you can safely ignore that part."

If you're happy with your account as is, use your real Facebook account. I managed to get my account back over the weekend, but I had to send Facebook a selfie before they would unlock it. More extreme measures can be having to send Facebook a picture of photo ID to prove who you are and that the name on your Facebook page is the same one as your legal name.

About to get my first dual Wield, and I was originally planning on giving it to my Greg, but the Mog raid showed me just how important DPS is. I then considered grinding a Chizuru I got from the free 10+1 ticket a while back, and give it to her. Goons, who is better suited for Dual Wield?

EDIT: FYI, My team right now is: COD (Replaced with Riku if I get her), Tilith, WoL, Yun, Gil.

Also, I looked at the Exvius Wiki and realized that I have the 4th best chainer according to the non-whale rankings: Setzer. Should I give him or one of the others Dual Wield?

The great thing about Setzer is that all he really needs for dps is a dual wield, and then you can just build him for survivability or with slayer items/materia depending on what you're fighting.

Gilgamesh is better than Chizuru. Setzer's Red card pretty much just chains with itself, but Prismatic Flash will chain alright with Tidus.

People put dual wield on Setzer to get double the damage out of Dice and Double Dice. Which is a solid strat if you don't mind the RNG.

Use valid information for the account and maybe a (bad) photo of yourself. Most of those horror stories are "I made a completely blank account that looked empty and fake" which probably tripped something on FB's end. The account I use contains information I can recall if I need to, rather than just being random BS.

7 more 11 pulls today. Got Queen'd on the last one.
So this banner has hit me with Dark Knight Cecil and Queen after nine total 11 pulls.

But looking at the positives, I finally got Olive out of the 5* EX Ticket. Immediately got Sparky and kitted her out. That's good.

I think I'm quite done with this banner though. Gotta walk away to keep my sanity. Tidus was not meant to be.

Since her chain move is hybrid damage wouldn't Power of Creation be better than Letters and Arms since it's 30% to atk/mag instead of just the mag boost, or does L&A still manage to be more useful because lol hybrid skills?

Yup! In addition your MAG stat is the same for both sets of attacks while your ATK only factors in whatever weapon is currently being used in that attack.
