Excellent thread, thanks Bust!

This is also now the Cloud/Mushu AOE appreciation station

e: Whoever is admin of Noxog (Klungar? i forget sorry) can you take a look at the party list? We got a couple of dudes that either haven't played in a while or still have Donald equipped (basically inactive). We can start to get some other people in. I am also not sure, but you may be able to make others admin if you can't/are unable to play so they can handle it

Yeah, I was just about to ask if people were thinking we should kick some inactives, as well as who would like to be an admin, since I haven't had much time to play myself in the past week.

e: There are two spots now open in Noxog.

You can toss me admin if you want, I'll be sticking around for the foreseeable future

RE: blue medal sharing, I have an Auron that I'm strongly considering taking to 6* next, his total hits rise from 2 to 3 and the damage multiplier jumps up to 1.99x, so I'm...half predicting it'll do about 15k damage to reds, which is not insignificant

Although I also have a Yuffie, which afaik doesn't get another hit but hits all targets for a random amount between 1.59 to 2.44x multiplier, and deals more damage to paralyzed targets...

KittyEmpress posted:

Should I upgrade all my keyblades? Just the starting one? Not the starting one?

Upgrade them all. It's recommended that you max-upgrade Starlight, as a good, balanced keyblade will serve you well in later missions where the enemies types start to become balanced between two or three colors.

Currently, until new missions come out, you can only fully upgrade 2 keyblades (three if you count Olympia, I guess) and partially upgrade the other two.

For example, I have a +20 Starlight (Balanced, favoring Blue/Green) and a +20 Treasure Trove (Power), while also having a +11 Lady Luck (Speed) and a +14 Three Wishes (Magic). Your second beyblade can be whatever complements your best medals.

I'm afraid I'm at a point where I'm going to have to make an upgrade decision. We're cut off at level 200 right? I have multiple blades needing upgrades and only one Orichalcum.

Correct.

For what it's worth, I feel that Starlight and Three Wishes are actually the best ones to upgrade assuming you have or can obtain solid blue medals; I went red because my red medals are extremely good, but the recent rash of missions has left me wishing I went blue instead (the final event mission, for example, is full red and I simply can't oneturn the enemies with my red setup)

Re: Olympia, my treasure trove at cap gives me a fifth slot and a 1.8x multiplier for whatever red I slot into it. Its better until olympia gets the last slot unlocked.

e: I'm almost done with the first event board, the last event stage is not worth running unless your magic medals are stellar. It works out to be about a 30 medal increase on average, but requires twice the work/effort to slap down a two-health-bar fat bandit and 1.5 health bar defender, whereas you can aoe down all the trash in the second stage in one turn as long as you have some decent-to-good green/red medals.

I am struck by indecision

I can either a) unlock 4 IAP avatar boards and get tons of cost, or b) buy a medal pack

and if I go with option b) I can either a) hope for a cloud medal or b) try and get some magic disney medals, the new donald looks like a good lowcost filler magic medal

i'm not exactly hurting for good medals since i have a ton of projects to be working on, so i'm leaning more towards the cost stuff...i don't know what to doooooo

i would imagine that since it connects to a server, the daily bonus just goes off of server time (like daily resets and so forth)

Would it be better to get my best medals upgraded to 6* star and then worry about getting them upgraded/guilted, or work on it before I get them up to 6*?

If you can work on guilt before you 6* them its better and easier than individually raising everything to 6* and fusing them that way (It's better to fuse at 3*/4*/5* than spend the resources for 6* everything)

The flowchart in the OP shows you the way~

e: might be confusing but guilt won't actually show up until you 6* something, but you can prepare for it right away, if that makes sense

I have 2800 jewels now and I'm at mission 200. I'm doing good on power and speed medals, but I'm in need of better magic medals. Should I save up another 200 jewels for a 10-pull or just do the daily pull every day? I'm inclined to the latter because even though I'm not guaranteed a 5 star medal I can get an extra 5 medals overall for the same amount of jewels.

Save for the ten pull honestly, the daily deal is cool and all but the ten pull options right now are really good

Butt Ghost posted:

Squall, Herc, Riku, and Master Form Sora ain't bad. Also you have enough green medals to make a speed deck, so I recommend setting lady luck up with that. Granted, only three keyblade slots ever get bonuses I think, so you can probably replace Abu and Aerith with magic medals to cover you weakness. Granted, Aerith's strength buff might be good, but I've yet to have an opportunity to take advantage of buffs, so I don't know.

Aerith's buff is for the whole turn, so starting off with it just makes you do better with your other medals, it's quite good if you have a full meter and are going to blow it

I have never, ever used Abu or seen him so i have no idea what he even does

Squall is amazing, I have him at 6* and I really, really want to chip/dale him

e:

uhhhh hmm

Pluto seems very niche picky since Esuna isn't terribly useful, but I am almost 100% sure there will be a dungeon which is nothing but status so it might come in handy

Red Riku for 8 hits, basically a better Wakka, but all I'd use it for is the trick to gain lux quickly on 57, which wakka is better at so...

KH2 Cloud, awesome

Beast will be great for popping eggs, problem is he came with Paralyze so idk if I'm going to want that later on or not

Two Master Forms can be fed into my current master form sora so that'll be cool, and one of them even came with def boost

Regular Herc (not baby herc) has a 3.20 damage multiplier on his 5* version, so I imagine at 6* it'll be 3.25 or 3.3, and it deals 7 hits, I really want to 6* him and see what insane boss killing damage he does

Squall at 6*
Yuna at 6*
Yuffie at 5* but with 2 pips on her skill

Total power is 46,693.

Even spending my entire meter, with Kotexx's Selphie or Cliff's Auron, I am still 3k damage short of one turning the fat bandit

If you are curious as to what the Timeless River Mickey Medal skill is, here you go:

quote:

Classic Bomb is an area of effect ability which always deals a set amount of damage to the enemy regardless of their defense power.

Classic Bomb has a gauge cost of 3.

Mickey Timeless River Version

So, basically a yuffie. It has high guilt, although, you know, event medal so idk how you're going to raise it. I'd imagine the damage is quite a bit higher than Yuffie, though.

Ok so Timeless Mickey is just an AoE fixed damage agility medal, so you don't have to bust your head too hard if you can't get it.
Looking up strats, I found a start. It seems poison does good damage to these enemies, especially the ones with bigger HP. If it doesn't proc on the first turn you're essentially screwed. Couple that with a buff on the first turn(Vivi, Diz, Aerith) and your best guilted medals.
Here's an imgur album one. And a text strat:


Also, you can cheese quests if something doesn't work mid-battle by closing the app and reopening, which drops you back at the start of a quest with all your resources restored and no AP used.

Picked this up over the weekend and have been playing it a bunch. Couple of newbie questions, some that I may have missed in the tutorial:

-What are these Keyblade cost nodes I keep unlocking in the avatar boards? What exactly do these do?
-Should I bother saving up my jewels? I've been using them whenever I can but I have been saving most of them as well.
-Are parties ever necessary or do they just make things easier? I've been hesitant to join any since the time i usually play is when most NA people are at school or work.
-When I start a new quest I can choose from a list of friend medals but when I try to select one, most of the time it won't let me and seems to be random. And sometimes I also find that if I move down the list one at a time from the top I can select every medal. Is there any logic to this?
-I have about 10+ Cid medals sitting in my inventory that seem to only work on 6* medals and they're taking up a lot of space in my list, can I do anything with these or just wait until they're useful?


Really enjoying this app, I find it really addictive and very wallet-friendly.

1) Your keyblades come with a max "cost", which is the cost of medals. You can slot maximum five medals into a fully upgrade keyblade, but each medal costs a certain number of points (For example, a 6* Mushu costs 46 "cost" points). You cannot exceed your cost; the game will prevent you from entering a stage with an overfilled keyblade. Cost nodes increase that cost by 1, and are priority nodes for end-game.

2) Save them for the 10pull, the 10pull is almost always a good deal. At mid-to-late game you will want the Jewel Avatar Boards (IAP costumes) because they give a lot of Cost and good end-game medals.

3) Parties are excellent because if someone gets a raid boss, you will be notified; alternatively if you get stuck on a raid boss, your party can help you. You cannot proceed in the main quest unless a raid boss is cleared, or the timer expires. Raid bosses are also excellent sources of lux, which levels you up faster, which gets you more avatar boards, which gets you more cost...

4) Seems like a weird bug; make sure you're tapping the name and not the medal itself, because otherwise it'll just bring up the popup stat screen of the medal.

5) Hold onto the cid medals, they are vital and they are also finite in existence (you cannot farm them easily). They are extremely needed in the mid-to-late game.
