They're for crafting the uh .. materia from the event. I'm too lazy to go look up the name.

It's 10% hp and 50% resists to several statuses. It's .. decent, maybe?

Joyful Spirit, if you have two they go great on Kryla, who only has 100% resistance to disease and poison. Joyful Spirit gives 10% HP and 50% resistance to sleep, paralysis, confusion and stone. That leaves blind, and who cares about that on a caster, and silence, which doesn't affect Kryla since she only has abilities, not magic.

As someone pointed out it's great on Wilhelm as well as it basically trades being hit with blind for 10% hp compared to Discernment/Goddess Protection.

If you were farming a tough story event and had no infinite mp restore units (ex. Ace, Roselia, Tilith+Zarg), tag-team Rebertas can alternate AOE attack and recovery jump so you can reach the mid/end-bosses with full mp/hp, then take on the bosses chaining Mystic Thrusts or their LBs.

I have crunched numbers on Grim Lord Sakura. ASSUMING that Kaliva's TM is 50% MAG from equipment when doublehand (a safe bet), then her BIS is now an INSANE 1382 MAG, with the Kaliva TM contributing 163 MAG of that total.

Right hand: Mateus's Malice HP+10%, ATK+19, MAG+129

Someone pointed out that the King's Knight 4* dragon TM has the potential to shore up a ton of support units. It's 30% DEF + a 3 turn damage mitigation ability. Knwoing Gumi though it'll be 10% or something.

I made 5 of those Joyful Spirit materias, 1 for Wilhelm and the rest for other units. Not sure if I should make more, they took a lot of resources.

Yeah, Barusa is definitely one to shoot for. He's a 4*, so it's not an impossible task.

I made two Joyful Spirits for Kryla, there's just not enough time to get enough candy canes to make more, I got the Growth Egg and Snow Gown and the story stuff, and ran the Enchanted Maze to get her and Ayaka up to snuff.

Kryla is good. She's a stronger 9S with more offensive options. Let me tell you why.

She has Analyze + Mirage in one move, 20% MAG and PHYS Evade, and 30% Camoflage.

She has four 50% single target single stat breaks. You can break the stats you want to/can break, and it generates LB crystals for her too.

She has three double elemental SPR-scaling 300% 1-hit finisher skills (fire/ice, lighting/water, earth/wind) which also imperil the elemental damage those skills cause.

Both the breaks and the imperiling finishers are "Jinx" skills, and she can dualcast jinx skills in any combination with her Witchcraft skill. Very versatile!

She uses SPR as her damage scaling stat, so building her for defense raises her offense nicely.

She has a skill called Nullifying Chant, which removes all status effects from everyone. This is great for bosses's thresholds, and preemptive strike buffs. Situationally very useful.

She gets Unblockable Super Poison in the form of her two Hex skills, Hex Eye and Wicked Eye. Wicked Eye is a more powerful version of Hex Eye, and is unlocked by her otherwise mediocre limit break (it's like Ling's Dance Of Death.) It works like this: for every status effect an enemy has, they will take 10,000 FIXED damage, per turn, for three turns, freeing Kryla up for other tasks.

For instance, if someone else casts Imperil, Hex Eye will deal 80k fixed damage each turn for the next three turns. Wicked Eye will do 160k fixed damage a turn for three turns. This isn't her MAIN way of doing damage, her finisher skills are more consistent, and she's primarily a debuffer anyway, but it can come in handy against bosses with high DEF/SPR, and as she's a great part of a turtle strategy along with a good mana battery, tank, buffer and healer.

If you have two Joyful Spirits it covers her status weaknesses quite nicely. And you really want to give her a Vestment Of Mind or Parade Gorget or other sources of MP Refresh, because she can eat another character like A2 for an elixir-like effect, but you may bit have a good source of ReRaise like Rem or Ayaka.

Her TM is a better Memories Of Life (25% to all elements) with 15% SPR and one LB Crystal a turn.

Once I get her fully leveled I will put her up for people to experiment with, feedback is appreciated. I don't have many SPR TMs, I'm still working on those Letters And Arms for Trance Terra.

Glad it worked out :) I've yet to beat him myself, or any of the other higher trials, mostly from lacking a good tank. I'll enhanced WoL once I have the gil for it and give the big bad robot a shot!

I'm making headway on Rumble of Malboro thanks to pulling Christine and the SA buff TT club, and it feels like it's actually doable.

I'm consistently getting past the 50% threshold, but after that I've been making stupid mistakes or getting really bad status luck.

Last run I forgot to dispel crazy mad and was confused as to why Wilhelm kept dying :shepface:

Once the planet's align (and I inevitably screw up the end at least once) I'll clear it, but I have no idea how I'll get the LB kill, since the only damage dealing LBs on my team belong to my damage dealers.

Going to unlink my cc from google play thanks to this game. I ended up deciding to use a gift card I got to get the $47 ny bundle, and it was enough to finish a full lap of the EX points. Figure I probably sunk somewhere around $600 in total into this stupid phone game, and if I stop and use my resources wisely I'll be set for the lifespan of the game. I got about 55K lapis and 60 tickets, and only really interested in the Valkyrie profile and CG Sakura banners for the foreseeable future.

I was resetting until an AoE Full Raise unit survived (either Tilith or Rikku) and of course both DPS (pair of Orlandeaus). Mystea and Garnet were both expendable in the preemptive. At that point it's just ensuring your ATK is high enough and/or enough killers so that Ice Bird gets one-shot.

It does require some funky gearing setup of all available ice and wind resistance (incidentally, that Snowstorm shield from last winter's (?) even is tailor made having both 30% ice/wind) to the pertinent characters.

i can set my 100% ice resist Ayaka to my friend unit. i have no idea how much trouble she has surviving the initial turn since Mystea took care of that for me, which means that Mystea can take care of that for you too. altho having a nearly 7k health Ayaka with 100% ice resist means she can probably survive? i have no idea.

anyway i can set that as my friend unit if it would help anyone. also let me know if we arent in game friends i guess.
