Regarding common medals, Wakka is ridiculously awesome at every level but Selphie and Tidus feel really underwhelming in comparison. Is it just me or am I not really giving the other two a chance?

And fun fact for the day, Defense Boost is activated by getting hit, not by just using the medal :v: Wish I'd figured that out yesterday for blue medal exp day.

New medal deal, this time it's a 10-pull for 2250 jewels instead of 3000.

I...I'm not falling for this one :negative:

But I sure as hell am!



Worth it for Aerith boost, Daisy heal, and KH1 Cloud. The rest are kinda trash (I already have fixed damaged Yuffie, Abu is useless and terrifying, and getting commons as 5*s is a little disappointing) but overall no regret.

Limit Form Sora is IMO one of the better speed medals in the entire game right now, it does silly damage.

Agreed, I have two and without them I would've been hosed when it came to green, get him to 6 and he will do a ton of work for you.

I just did the discount pull so the new medals seem a little underwhelming, I think I'll pass.

Did a daily pull instead and got two blue Yuffies for a grand total of three in all. Combined them and, because I'm a genius, gave it the scrooge paralyze medal I'd been hoarding for improved damage :downs: Fun fact, status effects activate on tap, not specials.

Other than my epic being goddamn Pinocchio, pretty happy with this pull! Another blip for Aerith, red Squall Leon, and KH2 Riku are much appreciated, plus Timeless Pete seems like a good reverse medal.

I'm a fool that got excited at some Org13/Epics and threw down jewels for an unremarkable 10 pull. My regret is so strong.

While better medals are always nice, I'm at the point where I need to slot as many 6*s as possible over chasing new poo poo. I'm at level 213 with all cost nodes available and I can slot two 6*. If I get the two cheshire cat boards, that plus the Cid medals I have will bump me up to three 6*s.

I don't want to spent jewels on avatar boards with outfits I wouldn't use (aka all the current ones) but it seems like the premium boards are the only way to raise my cost. Opinions?

Yeah, they boost no specific color (so effectively every color) and I'm pretty sure it works on all specials.

I always thought the boost medals only boosted their respective color, so thanks to this tip I actually cleared the second LL adamantite quest :yayclod:

I used LL at +21 with Vivi (5*), Aerith (5*), Tidus (6* with 24% guilt), KH Sora Ver B (6*), and KH Sora Ver A (6*, 23% guilt, attack boost 1) with Sephiroth (6*, attack boost 2) as my friend metal. That last group of mobs were the worst in that I had to count on at least one of the attack boosts proccing in order to one shot them. In hindsight I should have replaced Tidus with Rikku, I had just enough meter that it would've worked and not been as tight a win.

So how does this game compare to FFRK? Thinking of dropping FFBE and I'm looking for a different game to get into.

It's kinda hard to compare them, but since I play both, I'll try. They both have the "multiple abilities but limited equip slots so choose wisely" battle system, with KHUX's being a lot simpler/forgiving, and KHUX uses actual turn based combat vs FFRK's atb. If story matters, KHUX actually has one but there are a few overpowered roadblocks in the story quests that are really annoying and verge on pay to win. FFRK has the better gacha system by miles and feels a lot fairer with G5 and the amount of mythril the game throws at you, plus it's trivial to get characters. In KHUX it takes forever to get enough in game currency (jewels) to do a big pull and the odds are really against you getting anything good unless you do big pulls often. I've played since day 1 of KHUX and I have two premium epic medals, the highest tier (roughly bsb tier?) you can get, and one of them was a pity pull. We also can't plan for future banners like in FFRK, though you can roughly guess when a medal you might want will show up.

It's worth trying but coming from the gacha system in FFRK to this one is really rough.

Oh man, I have been sitting on jewels and I have enough to do one of the 3, but I'm not sure which or even if they'd benefit me.

I have iKairi and a +2 boost in each attribute, would an AoE def -1 help me out enough to dedicate the first 3 slots to two boosts and a debuff? And if the answer is "yes do it," would Axel or Xion be the better option? My power medals are easily my strongest by a big margin and I could use a powerful speed or magic medal, but as a "usable in every deck" way Axel looks stronger to me. Though I'm leaning towards Xion...

I've mentally written off Roxas since he's only useful for speed medals and I want something more versatile, is that stupid of me?

SuccinctAndPunchy posted:

A little? Consider that he places a -2 speed defense debuff on an enemy, this will replace any speed defense buff an enemy may have, which can effectively lower the defense level of an enemy by functionally a lot more than -2, which is a pretty huge boon to it and any defense debuffing medal. Roxas having the added benefit of also making GBS threads damage out by the truckload.

I'd say Axel is better in a "can be used in every situation" kind of way. Xion is very good, but is occasionally limited by the fact she scales off LUX, which makes her very good against raid bosses but less applicable in like, Coliseum. Granted, she still hits hard enough that it probably doesn't matter anyway.

poo poo, I didn't realize Roxas killed speed buffs like that :stare: I didn't mean to imply he was a bad medal, just that for my setup and the fact that I don't get to pull very often, I want medals that can be used in all my decks over just one. I'm willing to trade some power for that versatility.

Just to make sure I'm understanding the mechanic right, so if someone used Roxas on an enemy with a +1 speed def buff, Roxas would nullify that and then debuff the enemy to -2 speed def? And if Axel or Xion were used, would they also nullify the buff before applying a general -1 or would the enemy keep the +1 speed def? You mentioned Xion working on raid bosses, so def debuffs work on them?

And is it best to wait for all three to be released before pulling in the slim hope of getting, say, Axel on the Xion banner? Or would the pools for the previous banners not update when new medals are added?

Thanks for the replies, that clears up things for me. I have the jewels saved for a pity pull but I'm starting to rethink if I should even go for a debuff medal, especially since I am fairly set when it come to buffs. And I do have Owl and Megara, so I already have a lot of the alternatives.

I desperately need a good reverse magic medal and I wouldn't complain about more reverse power medals, either, but even with the 5 pulls to pity deal I'll have to think about whether Axel or Xion are worth it.

At least with the current pity pulls you'll get a nice selection of epics along the way, so the pulls should at least be pretty worthwhile.

Yeah, that's 50 epics which is absolutely ridiculous, and looking at future reverse magic medals I'm not seeing anything that catches my eye. I'll probably end up pulling pity iXion just because the overall deal is so good.

I thought about wasting the rest of my jewels on Axel or Roxas in part because of all epics but kinda forgot about it. Once again my laziness has saved me and thank gently caress for all epics erryday.

J-Spot I appreciate your artisanal friend medals, they are always :discourse:

J-Spot posted:

We don't know yet. For the first time in months the current banner is just the Big Deal which does not have a pity pull. We'll probably get a proper banner next Friday but no clue if it will be all epics or not, but tier 5's should start showing up I think. Who knows, they could start upping the draw rates on the older tier 4's if not flat out guaranteeing them.

That's a long wait. I wish we knew banners in advance like with FFRK global, it'd be so useful. Saving up for a 10 pull takes forever and not going for the pity pull feels like a waste because of the horrible drop rates for premiums, so the inability to plan really sucks. I'm sure they get lots of whale money with their current model but it doesn't mean I have to be happy about it.

Between the tweet and datamine, boy am I glad I decided to hoard my jewels :shittydog: It's like the upcoming updates were made with me in mind.

J-Spot posted:

So it seems that SENA, competent professionals that they are, have prematurely pushed out an update that has altered the stats on the coliseum enemies for the month. Enemies now go down a little easier but hit hard enough to make even defense boost 3 useless at high levels. Depending on where you left off you may find things harder or easier.

I play on an android tablet and have been getting a constant stream of "unfortunately KHUX has borked up" messages even though it's not running, could that be why?

Personally I like the VIP medal quests. For $30 you get the listed medal guaranteed with guilt plus a re-roll, 8800 jewels, and the VIP perks for two weeks. No rng bullshit and the $$ is pretty reasonable, it's just a couple bucks above a paid avatar board and way cheaper than a paid mercy 5 pull (which you'd never be able to guilt without going hard whale).

Question, does iVivi count toward the 3 attack buff duration so that the buff lasts through iVivi plus the next 2 attacks, or does it apply to the next 3 attacks after iVivi is used?

And what's a good trait for Sora & Roxas? I currently have extra attack on mine.
