Yo new ff mobile bros, just started this game and pulled olive from the daily. How good is olive? Should I save the rest of my rare pill tickets and lapis on other pulls coming up? OP says Orlandu is the gold standard, and I do love me some orlandu

Anyone able to tell me if the new banner coming out in a few days is any good?

Hey guys, I'm a new player that just started last week. So far my team is Olive, Butz, Terra, Kefka, and Duane. None of my team is enhanced so far, all of my characters are 3* apart from Olive.

As far as farming goes, should I focus on cactuars till I get max level, or phantom things, and if I get enough phantom things what should I focus on purchasing? I only have a few good swords, so the good sword seems good value, but I'm unsure as to the rest. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!

Also which TM should I focus on with moogles?

Anyone have the rough drop rates for phantoma in the ELT or PRO levels? Are people seeing nimbus more often in one or the other?

Ubiquitus
Nov 20, 2011

From what I've seen, ELT gives 203 without bonuses. So Pro is a *little* more efficient, but then you have to fight another full battle round every time you reach 30 energy.

Edit: If you run into a golden bomb it bumps over 400 phantoma, so ELT almost certainly avgs higher/stam.

ELT is always better if you can run it because the bonus enemy rates are higher. Or they're supposed to be. :shrug:

Right now I can only run ELT or PRO when I have a top tier companion (and probably only Noctis since the rest of my weak weak team is bound to die, and the companion needs to heal himself :smith:)

So pretty much all the generic units below 3* are worthless right? What's the best thing for me to do with those? Enhance them into other units or just sell them?

Picked up Queen today, that puts me at 2 FF w/e IDC units +1 friendo for the bonus. I was avging 300, now I'm up to ~550.

Also holy gently caress, one bomb adds a 3x multiplier 1500 phantoma :suspense:

So that's how bombs work? I thought it was just a flat 250?

It'd be nice if I saw any anymore. I haven't seen a bomb or nimbus in ages.

I think so. I have only done PRO and ELT runs, and the one run where I had 3 FF-0 chars and found a golden bomb my score bumped drastically.

On runs where I haven't seen the bomb, I avg anywhere from 300-600 depending on drops on both PRO and ELT.

If I have Queen, is gate of destiny worth farming for from the moogle king? I don't have any other characters to use other than Queen that can be 6* yet apart from Bartz and Luka, who are both 5* and 4* still.

I guess I can count Terra Kefka and Garland, if they are getting 6* soon.

It's better than DK Cecil's best darkside-like by a significant margin, in both damage and HP cost, and if you're feeling comboriffic, with dual wield and her shiny new auto-rez, you can have her kill herself and auto-rez into her 200% ATK buff. It's a lot of trouble for a character who is pretty much as bad as a 5 star base can get, though.

Hm I see. Unfortunately for me I only have one other 5* base. I guess I'll have to bite that grind then, thanks!

Lucky you, I have 6, and confirmation bias tells me that they definitely skewed the drop rates to curse us with Sheras

This needs to be at the top of the OP.


Sitting on 134 tickets and 29k Lapis. Still leaning towards a 10+1 on the player's choice and maybe some tickets. I know I won't luck out and get Noctis (or Greg) but another Zidane or 3 would be cool.


A team of Olives with an extremely tanky unit (or two) can be a pain in the rear end in the arena because if you don't one-round them and they got to go first on round 1 you're probably going to get murdered by the bombardments because their 3 turn counter seems to count down on both player turns.

But bombardment isn't learned until lvl 88 at 6*, and that guy had two that were 5*. Really that fight should have been an easy win.

So I am still farming the demolition event, but I've gotten all the good items, all the cactuars, enough mats to upgrade another 2 chars to 6*, some rare tickets, and both the ATK and gate of destiny materia. Should I farm star quartz, or finish buying out all the 6* mats?? I'm barely at the third continent story-wise, but it looks like you can buy some pretty useful things with star quartz later on.

So I've also been trying to figure out what to do with my team as well. Currently I have Bartz (6*), Olive (6*), Kefka (5*), Terra (4*), Luka (4) Queen(5), Garland (3), Nine (4), Gaffgarion (4), and Vanille (4).

My plan was to pull hard on the upcoming banner, and basically wait until Kefka and Terra's 6* come to upgrade them, and have my base team as Bartz, Olive, Kefka, Terra, Luka until I get better units. Is this the best plan? Should I plan on using Queen instead of Kefka permanently until I get someone to replace Queen? Should I start investing in Garland since he will also be getting an upgrade sometime soon?

Pick a Thancred, feed 20 other Thancreds to him for his TMR and afterwards sell/fuse the mastered Thancred. Rinse and repeat as necessary. Farming PRO means getting around one Thancred TMR every two days so you'll probably have half a dozen or more of his 10% hp/atk materia when the event ends. More if you're able to farm ELT instead.

Gonna be nice to get rid of a bunch of 10% atk (and maybe some 10% hp) materia when this is over. Should end up with a couple of Minfilia's TMRs with any luck, though if they can't stack with themselves that's unfortunate.


Ahhh I didn't realize fusing units gives a trust bonus at lvl 1. Thanks!

The lazy route would be to just hit up the friend spreadsheet on page 1 and have a buff SA goon carry you to victory (Olive, Noctis). I've been playing about a month and can reliably farm pro that way.

Also see this page:

TLDR; your best team is probably COD, buttzzzzzzzzzzzz, cecil, ling/minifila and exdeath I believe (not sure who Dick bicycle is?)

Rates shouldn't change based on making a larger pull. I've been exclusively doing the multi 5k coin capped pulls, and at a little over 400k points haven't pulled yshtola yet.

It may be psychologically a little more pleasing/disheartening to see the pulls in that format based on your outlook though.
