Ok, I want to understand the hub-bub of 6* Warrior of Light. Everyone has been gushing about him for months to get 6*, and I legitimately don't know what makes him great. I get he has Full Break. Does he replace current tanks I have like Cecil or Snow? Or is his utility something completely different? What will he potentially "break" for me in the future?

 We've been speculating on discord on what's in this and how much it costs. Somebody posted that the portal app announced a new bundle with 10k Lapis is coming soon. Historically when they call something the "adamantite" chest of whaling, it means $50 or more. In the normal Lapis store, $50 gets you 8500 Lapis. Soooo, I think a good guess is that this thing will come out at $50 for 10k Lapis plus all the items in the picture. Depending on the ticket count (3?) I may pay $60 for it. Not sure about $70 or more. If you're new to the game, wait for us to vet the bundle tomorrow before purchasing, Gumi has been known to make something look appealing when its actually a waste of money. Edit: It was pointed out to me that the materia pictured above is probably auto-refresh. http://exvius.gamepedia.com/Auto-Refresh Kinda fits in with the "renewal" theme of the bundle.

I get he has Full Break. He gets an AOE atk/mag break and a def/spr break, both 45%. He has a 1 turn 100% chance to be targeted move that can be enhanced to 3 rounds. He also has a move that gives him a 75% chance to cover with big damage reduction (I think that might be post enhancement though). I want to say there's maybe a self heal when he guards and a reactive self HP/mp heal. Edit: nm link appears to be broken. hamsystem fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Jun 28, 2017 |

In this regard he completely replaces Snow. His provoke gets enhanced later to have a durations of 2 then 3 turns so while I hate that it's just 1 turn now, it's still great. Full break is nice but when I need a break I've tended to want it to be the best possible break not just 30% so I'm less excited about that.

WoL 6* has four main things: * He has 100% Provoke for 1 turn. * He counters magic with a self 25% HP/MP restore. Ie- He laughs at Dark Siren's Osmose. If he counters 4 times in a single round, boom, full hp/mp. * -45% Breaks on a Tank. Don't need to bring a dedicated breaker or waste turns on your DPS. * He has an AOE Cover, our first, and otherwise rare even in JP.

Welp. Looks like I've got to push my WOL to 6* to replace Cecil, and push my Rem to 6* to replace Y'shtola. 6*ing never ends, does it? Also: Sad I didn't get Rem's daggers. But then, it's hard to resist the call of Tickets, and I never thought I'd get Rem...

First, his attack/mag break are "good enough" to do high end content with (normal fullbreak just isnt enough anymore), so you dont burn a slot just for a breaker if you dont happen to have someone like Orlandu in your party. Second, he is a provoke tank thats beefy, not as beefy as Wilhelm but again, beefy enough to deal with content. Third, AOE physical cover, which allows him to soak the entire damage your party would otherwise take. He was already the top tank before enhancements, but enhancements just made stronger. His provoke lasts three turns allowing him to concentrate on guarding and breaking if he needs to. His survivability got big upgrades to do Hope increasing all his defenses and resistances immensely at lower health and his cover is almost guaranteed to trigger and soaking the rest of the physical damage given how its usually several smaller hits instead of a larger one. (once triggered he'll soak the rest of the damage)

Rem's daggers are usable by anyone too and their stats aren't half bad. Guessing you didn't get Rem's "let me set your entire team to 0 mp" materia for arena use either? (I didn't, so I'll probably end up pulling her too)

Looking at the 5* units available to pull tomorrow, looks like there are about 11 out of 23 that are generally considered great pulls: Orlandeu Wilhelm Noctis Olive Ramza Marie(?) Fryevia Aileen Reberta Fohlen Tidus I put Marie as a ? because it seems to me that there have been other units that can do her role about as well as she does in most situations. In the "meh" category where it is an OK unit but isn't really something to celebrate. Typically casters or units that are only wanted for their TMs: Trance Terra Rem Gilgamesh DK Cecil Emperor In the "Why does Gumi hate me" category, units that have either been completely made obsolete by power creep or were just never good to begin with: Delita Lightning Luneth Dark Fina Ace Queen Seabreeze Dark Fina That look about right to more experienced people?

I mashed together the FFBE Wiki's Expedition list against the success bonus table to create a big ol' sortable, filterable Expedition spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DmHUF3nqERWktaU6F0RJXUB3hYjjJG0HIVNy1BazqqM/edit?usp=sharing Good for planning (tag each Expedition you want to plan for as "Worth?" = Y and filter accordingly). Some of those A and S rank missions are definitely never worth doing (unless you have no other options I guess). edit: WoW Garrison flashbacks. dangerous.hotdog fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jun 28, 2017 |

Dark Fina is also a fantastic Arena unit. Gilgamesh has one of the best Dual-Wield TMRs, if not the best. Queen's TMR is also nice but yea she sucks.

My preferred pull would be another Eileen, followed by an Orlandue and maybe an Olive. Noctis, without his JP modifiers, would be pretty low on my desired lists, def not lightning/queen/delita tier but not even above Marie or Gilgamesh. Just very hard to find a fit on him on a team if he cant act as finisher.Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:So I guess even if I have Wilhelm, there will be enough situations where WoL shines in for me to want to awaken him? Most definitely. You ARE going to need AoE tanks for later content and he's the best physical AoE tank in the game. In cases where you need magic aoe tanking you are going to need Mistair. If you happen to have a boss that just hits like a truck with single target physical attacks then Wilhelm is going to shine. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Jun 28, 2017 |

So for anyone who wasn't quite sure what makes Rikku bonkers, here's a short version: LB at 6*, level 1 (16 cost): Increase DEF/SPR (50%) to all allies Auto-revive (80% HP) for 3 turns to all allies TMR, Rikku's Pouch: Enables use of Chaos Grenade, Panacea, Eccentrick Panacea - Cure all status ailments to all allies (this includes petrify but not stop, iirc) for MP: 25 Eccentrick - Increase LB gauge fill rate (200%) for 5 turns to all allies for MP: 21 Active skills: Synthesis Enables the following abilities for 3 turns: Sunburst, Hazardous Shell, and Hyper NulAll - Hyper NulAll: Increase all elemental resistances (40%) for 3 turns to all allies, damage reduction (30%) for 3 turns to all allies Passive: Drive Boost Increase LB gauge fill rate (100%) Malcania Woods fist weapon: Override Fist ATK+50 Effect: Double Overdrive (+100 LB fill rate) So just with the event weapon you'll have her starting with a +200% LB fill rate for her LB that boosts DEF/SPR by 50-74% and gives everyone an auto-revive to 80% hp. Toss in Eccentrick from her TMR and she's now at 400% LB fill rate (so only 4 BC needed to fill her gauge). Hyper NulAll is great despite the turn you have to spend on setup for it but Eccentrick + constant LB uptime is the real winner because you're now not just tanky but also able to revive in the cases where you aren't tanky enough. You also have a full hp aoe revive via Mega Phoenix if necessary (though if you have Tilith as your healer she has one too). Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:So I guess even if I have Wilhelm, there will be enough situations where WoL shines in for me to want to awaken him? I don't think Wilhelm, even with enhancements, will have the magic/aoe tanking that WoL gets. e: my hopes for a 5* pull is Ramza, or maybe a 2nd Orlandu. Otherwise either Noctis, a 2nd Fryevia/Olive, or Wilhelm would be cool. I'm going to get Delita #2 or Queen #3 though.

She also has dualcast built in which can be paired with Cura for backup healing. She has "turbo" imperil and can buff all elements by 50%. Her only weakness is not being able to buff Light or Dark to 70% like Minfillia can. Oh yes, her Rainbow Robe TM is pretty much BIS for all robe users.
