With Tidus and Rikku getting March enhancements, it’s probably a safe bet that the delayed FFX Mog event will be this month too, after the Tomb Raider raid.

Likely scenario is:
3/9 - CG Fina and her accompanying story map event
3/16 - Lara Croft and the never ending raid orbs...
3/23 - FFX King Mog, Yuna/Lulu banner and March enhancements
3/30 - Easter event? (Good Friday is this day, if they have an Easter event planned like last year, this is the likely spot for it.)


Other things that could get sprinkled in include:
The ultimate versions of Brachiasaur, Demon Chimera, and White Dragon
Chamber of Fallen: Legendary Stud (Supposedly it’s a wimpy deer)
Chamber of Arms: Alhena https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/6gri5m/12_weapons_no_3_alhena_observation/
Chamber of Fallen: Iron Giant
Chocobo expeditions
Siren 3* esper fight
Ifrit 3* esper fight

That takes us up to CG Jake according to the JP release schedule. Depending on how much effort goes into the Easter event (if we get one), the next main story update could come out that week as well, then CG Jake two weeks later.

The :tinfoil: theories on Reddit are that this is because Gumi has not released their gacha rates for each item in their game (and their other games?) and therefore Apple is not allowing their update to go through.

Since we are asking for special units, does anyone have a Tilith unit they can set up for Aigaion that I can use? I've got a team together who can handle the damage, raising, taunting and all the rest of his mess. I just need a healer who can cut the mustard and doesn't use magic. From what I read Tilith is that healer and I don't have her :(

Send me an invite and I’ll set one up that will only die if you fail to mitigate the punch correctly.

Olif is on quickfarm and should be done by Monday. Tinkerbow quickfarm is next and shouldn’t take long either. The Patriotic reacall will come off and dual wield go on. She’s fully potted (including ATK, lol) and her LB is almost maxed too because gently caress it, why not.



She’s ready for you boys...

Well, finally got an on banner 5*. And it's Kunshira. :geno:

She doesn't seem too bad from looking over her skills, at least. She gets a huge range of imperils and a suite of elemental resists, even though I probably won't depend on her for those over just bringing in Marie. Her LB sounds like it could potentially be devastating though. 18x Hybrid damage at max versus 13.2 base, so I'm gonna have to level that. Course I'm completely and utterly tapped out on LB pots because I keep pulling characters that are actually worth leveling.

Is there any consensus on whether or not Kunshira will synergize well with Fryevia? I'm half tempted to try and make a hybrid team of Fryevia, Kunshira, Noctis and support/healers.

managed to half pull a Basch today, and my 30M ticket gave me a Lunera.

Do I have any use for Lunera if I already have enhanced Ramza?

Lunera has much better MP refresh but lower stats boost. It’s arguable as to which is more needed.

So I’ve still been slowly just spending 20-30 minutes chipping away at rerolling and I pulled a blossom sage Sakura, but no other real good ones. From reading her review by that sperg on the ffbe forums(memelord or something like that?) she seems pretty good.

If you wanna just get going that’s a solid damage unit that will clear most beginner content for a whiles. When you get to the end game trials, she’s a magic finisher which is kind of a niche roll. Finishers in general are usually only practical for whales going for a one hit kill. Most hard fights won’t have room on a team for her except for the 10 man fights.

If you have the patience, you absolutely want to keep re rolling till Fina shows up. It’s going to suck and you’ll want to scream, but she is basically a beginners (wet) dream unit. Her damage dealing will easily carry you through all newbie content and oh by the way she’s also going to be your healer forever.

Yeah sorry I wasn’t more specific. Make sure you try and get her before her banner goes away. She’s what we call a “meta defining” unit in that she sets the bar for healing alongside Ayaka. But unlike Ayaka she comes with fantastic damage skills/spells which will plow through all the easy content with no issues once you can max her.

Getting a good healer early in the game is hard for new players. With Lotus Mage Fina you’re set for the rest of your account until the 7* meta hits and even then you’ll do just fine.

A CG (computer generated) movie cutscene plays when you use her Limit Break, just like when you summon an esper. See for yourself in her special vortex mission where you can test drive the unit.

Honestly, I’d just keep pulling till Lotus Mage Fina shows up and then go. There are only two 5* healers in the S tier, LM Fina and Ayaka, but there are plenty of good chain DPS that will drop in good time as you play the game. The only other unit that might make me stop and go would be Basch. His dual ability to tank magic and physical make him too good to pass up, IMO.

Just go, Fina has all the DPS you want for early to mid content. The 5* chainers will eventually drop, especially with the rainbow drop rate increase we got before Christmas. A decent healer may never drop and you now have the best in the game that will last for as long as you play.
