Don't like it? well...

OK I now have 5 stars for Vivi, Squall, Zidane, Bartz, Rem, Penelo, Hope, and Yuna.

I think that's enough for the foreseeable future. Now to not pull until the next power creep.

I caved and did another pull and got the Yuna weapon! I don't regret it, a team of Yuna, Terra and Vanille trivialized that final event fight.

Found this crap on the subreddit. I braved it so you don't have to.

Best place to farm is the highest level of the Cycle Quest "Pursuit of Color Crystals"

• located in the Vortex that can be found in the world map. Must beat Chapter 1 to unlock it

In Story Mode

Level 26-35

• Chapter 5 Firion 2 Hard Mode - 197 EXP

Level 33-40

• Chapter 4: Chapter 4-10 Hard Mode - 327XP

Level 40-50

• Chapter 5-5(yellow one) Hard mode 416 EXP

Level 40-50

• Chapter 5-9 (Yellow one) Hard mode 420 EXP

────────

AFK Farm - Level 25

Chapter 2: Ominous Shrine Pt. 2. Hard.

Depending on your team can be auto'd from lvl 25 onward in under two mins each run for 266.


────────

If you have the need to run the game at 60fps you can change your battery settings to Normal instead of Low.



Edit: gently caress me I did 2x Banner pulls going for Yuna's weapon and ended up with Vanille and Hope's. Oh well, I guess Y'shtola is awesome and I have her 5*.

Look at the bright side, now you have a 2/3 limit broken weapon!

Been rerolling a couple times a day since this came out and finally got one worth sticking with, mainly cause it has Terra and Vaan plus a couple limit breaked mediocre 5*'s for 7500 gems.

After I finish chapter 1 I'll roll on Squalls banner as well. If only I got WoL it would have been perfect but its good enough.

Doesn't it take 4 5* token things to limit break? Also, I'm wondering if I should just dump a bunch of mats into my 4* weapon for Yuna and the LB it. I like Yuna as a character but I feel Y'shtola is nice as well for a support type character.

I'm running Sylph for this event for the debuff resist. I generally run Ifrit for the attack boost. I can see Odin being useful for alpha strikes in a full sword team. They're all pretty useful with limited resource competition.

Level 5 of the event is actually pretty tough.

Not leveling a mage is really kicking my rear end in this Vanille event. My party is usually Vaan/Squall/Cloud and while they chew through everything with physical attacks having to face a magic-oriented enemy like that red knight is pretty terrible.

I've got the characters, levels, and crystal strength, but I could really use better weapons. Might just level up my 3* stuff.

Is onion knight any good ? I have his gold weapon and just unlocked him in story ... but I already have a 3x limit break cloud, a 2x lb WoL and zidanes 5*

But I like OK and be was a beast in both FFRK AND FFBE

also can anyone get this to run on memu emulator ? I'd love to be able to play on desktop but it just crashes memu

Edit: the internet says he sucks so I pulled one more time 5k on squals banner and finally got his sword and another of zidanes crossblades so looks like I'll be running cloud squal zidane

Does it still add 2-3 garbageware apps to your google account every day? That's really the only thing keeping me from using it at this point.

I was surprised how much a mage team makes a difference, they don't even need to be super high level, having Vanille's dispell and Yuna's esuna will make the fight much easier, if you dispell the haste/berserk buff the boss will waste time reapplying it. A decent Terra will carry the dps output just fine.

I have no 5* anything outside Cloud, Vaan, WoL. Is it worth leveling a mage and using some sort of 4* staff?

You could pull for yuna now (brave battery is awesome!) or save up for Ramza that should come out around the end of april.

My Terra was the only one who was well geared up (5* Falchion) and she carried the damage just fine, Yuna and Vanille were like level 26 with their second abilities unlocked from the crystal levels and it was enough.

That's what I did too. I pulled twice on Vanille banner, got Vanille stick twice, then pulled with tickets "just to see" and got Yuna on the 4th? pull.

Didn't get Hope, but w/e don't care about him that much.

The upcoming potential banners are bleh but Ramza sounds great.

Did you guys see that the login period was extended by 10 days? Why is that?

In my quest to get Zidane, Terra, and Yuna's weapon, I got 2 of Reim and fully limit breaked Hope's weapon.

Is the fully limit weapon a big enough difference to replace my Zidane/Terra/Yuna core with Hope?

It's weird that I want the area where I spend SP to come back.

Finished the Vanille event earlier today with a team in the mid to high 30s. Apparently the upcoming Setzer event has a boss that deals out an AoE defense down + speed down, so Yuna should stay useful through there.

EX Chimera is an absolute monster and easily the hardest boss thus far. I beat him, but am going to need to retool a lot for the no break condition. His Great Fireball attack can hit for over 5k brave and his second AOE attack can hit for ~3k.

Okay, I've added myself to the spreadsheet: 971, 382, 725 for a 32/50 crystal/level Tifa with both equipment limit broken once.

Got a similar Squall and WoL, also slowly working on Vaan, Terra, Y'shtola, Yuna and Cloud.

Say my alpha team was Tifa, WoL and Squall, which character should I sub in to make Vanille's level 4 and 5 quests easier? I should at least try for the second pendant.
