^^^you might want to run 57 to pop (I believe) guard armors, one every three runs - sure they'll be crap to start, but after a while they'll get the lux train back on track.

I'm looking at clearing the Speed one as my Treasure Trove is pretty good (mostly due to KH Cloud, who does decent damage even on their ridiculous defense), though I could give Speed a shot as I've got plenty of strong ST there. Everyone says that poison is useful for this though, but since status only applies when you do a normal tap attack it's kind of hard to pick who to give it to. I've been considering Beast as most of the time you don't want to use his special anyway, but Tinkerbell (my only decent healing medal) is another possibility. Was thinking I'd give her my defense boost, though - I don't have any of the good buff medals or Minnie so there's not really many other good picks right now. Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

e: yeah I'm just going ahead and putting Poison on Beast and Defense Boost on Tinkerbell; I have a spare Beast so there's no harm in feeding him off, and I'll want her for harder content anyway so it makes sense for her to get the defense boost. Best if I get this all sorted out before I lose access to the skill up dungeon.

It was really easy to tell people were cheating because they were breaking the level cap (which happens when you get too much lux, the game freaks out and jumps over the cap), and they had all 3/4* medals.

I'm glad you said that bit about status effects only occurring on tapping, because I was about to throw poison on my 24% Guilted Stitch, and that would've been a disaster. Think I'll follow your lead and throw it on my KH2 Yuffie (my filler 5* medal that I've been using). Gonna wait and see if the Zootopia medals actually do drop tomorrow, and if so, spend some jewels and try to get Judy/Nick (+2 atk boost at 3 cost green medal/+1 atk boost at 1 cost red medal) and potentially throw defense boost on one of them. Otherwise, I'll throw it on KH2 Aerith. There's almost no situation I foresee that I wouldn't use an attack boost medal, so I figure it's a good investment.

I'm still trying to figure out what medal I plan to use long-term between Tidus (6* 12% guilted) and KH Sora Ver. A (6* 12% guilted). Can't afford to use both of them along with Stitch right now.


Tangential edit: Can I just say how weird it is having a Level 1 Guard Armor that I can demolish now instead of that ungodly level 38 monstrosity? Because it feels weird.

I have a 20% Sora ver. A that I've been using alongside Stitch and he's been a monster so far.
I'm not sure how Tidus's special attack is at 6*. But I'm loving Sora.

I did some napkin math comparing a farmable medal and a premium medal with the same skill the other day. The conclusion I came up with is despite the better medal's 400-500 point attack lead, the pips and guilt will make it such that the farmable will do slightly more damage with its special even with a minimal guilt roll, and if you have a good roll it'll be much more clearly ahead. In short, don't poo poo on farmables; for where we are in the game they're quite useful.

Tidus seems pretty similar to Selphie, and she does good work at 6*, so he's probably a decent pick if you need cheap, light speed AoE. I've got a KH Sora B so I feel like I'm covered there, but I don't think working on guilting a set of farmables is a waste of time if you don't have anything else to do with your AP.

Also, edit re: Zootopia - I'd heard that these were going to be ranking medals, so with our ranking stuff suspended for the time being I don't know what's going to happen with them. It'd be real nice if they just gave them to everyone, but frankly they're both excellent medals (like, probably better than DiZ/Aerith/Vivi) so I don't see that happening.

Ugh. I was actually going to buy that Judy Hopps board, until I found out they changed it for the NA release. (2 tiers of attack up in JP, 1 tier in NA) I heard that the Nick Wilde one also got nerfed from the JP one.
That's disappointing. But saves me jewels. I'll just keep using Aerith/Diz/Vivi.

Yeah, I was seriously considering getting Nick as I have yet to pull one of the buff medals, but the nerfs make them not really much better than Aerith/Diz/Vivi. They also come as 6*s, so it makes it a pain in the rear end to fit them in on top of that.

So I'm not quite sure how this event works. Do Queen Bees only spawn through doing the event quest, separately from how other raid bosses are spawned? So you just have to do the one quest over and over hoping to spawn it?

Yeah the Nick Medal kind of blows since its basically a DiZ, but it does come in at six stars, and the board itself comes with some goodies; cid medals, attack up 1x2 medals, and chip/dales

basically if you don't have a DiZ or an Aerith, it's there

e: Nick/Judy are AOE buff versions of DiZ/Aerith, making them stronger.

i lied, im not sure how i got attack up 2 medal but i didnt get it from nick board

HGH; Raid boss spawns around every 3 egg kills, map has a chance to spawn a second encounter containing 2 eggs.

My first Omega Queen Bee gave me nearly 500 event coins.

Reg QB level1: 120
Reg QB level2: 132
Reg QB level3: 125
Reg QB level4: 135
Reg QB level5: 129

It appears to randomize between 120-140 for reg QB.

Basically everyone should be doing the event missions with your AP, the more people doing it the more likely we are to get higher leveled bosses for coins!

I've been trying to figure out if I can leave the Party (since my love of the Kingdom Hearts series is clearly not enough to overcome my distaste for gatcha games), but I haven't been able to find any concrete information about whether or not that will dissolve the party, since even though we are both admins, I still have the special Owner star or whatever. Any clue if I can safely leave?

I'm even more annoyed because the Nick board has a skill medal that gives "Attack Boost All I" which is necessary for quest objectives so I kinda want it and I haven't seen anyone else have it before now but no way am I throwing money as this game. Fun though it is, nah.

I'll be up to a lvl 10 Queen Bee in about 10 mins. Probably going to need a 20+ before I stop one shotting it. I wish there was a take no action option sometimes.

If you remove all the medals from your Olympus keyblade I think that would give you a pretty good shot at not 1-turning it.

How does the Queen Bee spawn? Is it just random after doing that even quest? I fought the Omega Queen Bee and got like 800 medals it owned

And I guess she's more likely to show up between 7-8:59pm or something EDIT: Pacific Time so I guess 10-11:59pm Eastern

It spawns after 3 eggs are killed. Sometimes, the map has a chance of spawning an extra 2 eggs so instant raid right there. Already almost done clearing out the first zootopia board since I still get level ups.

So far, best bet on the bee boss is to do story 57 twice and then the event once. It takes 75 heartless kills to spawn a raid boss, and the eggs in the event apparently count as 25 kills each, but I've only seen the extra pack of two spawn once so far. So it comes down to either 29 AP for one boss or anywhere from 15 to 45 for just doing the event.

I want to say that the Omega spawns more frequently at the appointed time, but we'll have to wait for tonight to see.
