Speaking of dual elemental weapons there's a Fire & Dark elemental dagger from the Halloween event for you Nyx users! :v:

A thread on reddit has images as sources. Here's the Halloween event image (one is summoning Titan and Lakshmi for MAG+30%, if you haven't already do story to unlock them!), and the Units awakening image if you haven't seen it already.

Hannibal Lector's muzzle as event gear is cool but not giving a Man Eater passive is such a missed opportunity.

Illusionist Nichol is probably going to be the next Ling. I.E. the unit mentioned in guides for months that people will be really mad about not having gotten when they had the chance. Please, please pull for Illusionist Nichol. Don't be that guy without Ling. (like me.)

eeeeeh i dunno if he's gonna be that amazing; his other abilities are still unknown.
Either way, this is going to be 9s/tilith all over again since he's sharing the banner with pirate jake.
on the plus side, unlike those banners, the other 4* has a great TM so you dont lose out if you get the other guy.

Gotta hope someone caught that by the time it is released.

I'm more hyped for Jake and that ring. I thought we'd get the Bahamut event squeezed in here first so I'd have a little time to build tickets back up, but nope!

at least this banner is sticking around for 2 weeks, so you got some time to collect some from the upcoming events. no word if the 2nd halloween banner a week later will steal away the daily draw.

I'm betting Ill.Nichol will be the next BC Lid, not the next Ling.

If the previous Halloween units are any indication, the new ones will have skills that are mostly the same as the story units, plus a few wildly different skills especially where the story units don't have 6* forms.

Everybody who's all excited about Pirate Jake's Ring, are we sure that the "Enables Pirate's Soul" isn't exclusively for Pirate Jake? I mean 20% DEF/SPR is still really good, but yea.

This game wasnt already disgaea enough with million hp attack setups and 300% stat boosts so gently caress it, throw the item world in too.

Yep, and when you dive into an equip it'll automatically remove itself from whoever has it on. However, you can only do some at a time. For example the current rotation is Dagger/Sword/Rod/Whip.
I'm interested in how this'll open up avenues for more +Stat gear, because it'll be easier to hit the 300% cap like this.

Grim Sakura has probably more in common with Sage Sakura than normal Sakura given her grim dual cast mechanic being basically Sage Sakura reskinned

I don't expect her to be as insane as sage Sakura but who knows!

Hey guys I rolled up an account the other day and would appreciate some friends to help me steamroll through some content!

Started out with a Dark Veritas who is real good and also managed to roll lightning (who is serving alright as filler).

ID is 375,924,305 I'll add myself to the Google doc once I'm back home

So far just trying to roll through the story, should I attempt to at least complete the Ayaka event before it goes away? I've been throwing tickets at her banner in an attempt to get her but I don't expect to. Should I be saving for the Halloween banner?

Despite all the justified negativity about Lightning, for a new player she's going to be really solid for quite a while. Innate dual wield is a big deal. Dark Veritas will definitely be the cornerstone of your team in time, but don't be in any rush to dump Lightning.

Hmm, that's a good question. Probably get some different opinions on it. I think I might prefer the Halloween banner because those units are limited and right now you don't need to chase any other unit on the Ayaka banner except her. Given your newbie status, having a top tier healer isn't going to be necessary for a while, as there's a ton of content you can steamroll once you get DV up to speed.

Did you manage to pull a Glauca from the Kingsglaive banner? That should probably be your priority if DV is your best unit, you'll really want his TMR and if you pull a Crowe while chasing him, that's not bad either because she's going to be very useful for damage mitigation and buffing DV.

If I pulled a Dark Veritas and a Lightning I'd probably side-line Lightning just because her stupid attack animation would make it take three times as long to do anything.

Raid style orbs. Once you get 3 abilities you'll be prompted to choose and replace one if you get a fourth.

It's a floor by floor thing where you can change friends, loadouts, and get prompted if you want to leave or not every floor.

So basically, probably as long as one of the easier single segments in the story events.

Done. I should have my !00% Evade Fohlen for Glilgamesh, etc, up as soon as this King Mog grinding event is over.

\/\/\/\/\/ Yes, you want a source of Dual Wield to get him to do the things you want. Earth Veritas is a terrific tank. Seabreeze Dark Fina is good if you have a good team of magic users, never underestimate chaining Ultima.

So I’ve been wasting my tickets trying to get a better Kingslame than Legendoofus so I can hoard more hairpins and I got an Orlandeau. He is cool and has a beard and I 6’d the hell out of him ASAP. How do I make him hit twice, is that dual wield?

Also got Orran, Veronica and Earth Veritas, whom i will level on the side because they are apparently good for things. Prishe still gets love for that TMR, but should I still be using Seabreeze Dark Fina for any reason?
