Also if anyone happens to have not completed the Gingerbread trial, I am sharing a 953 ATK Landu w/ 150% extra damage to Demons.

That TM

!!!

It stacks with LS Mastery yeah? LS Mastery was a one-time reward from a vortex trial, not a farmable TM. Nice to finally have the opportunity (if you can pull that unit).

That TM is nice but if the rest of the banner is crap I won't touch it. The fact it's all limited too just makes me want to stay away from it.

The units are limited? That's 3 straight Limited banners right?

Well that kind of sucks now. Was hoping that TM would be obtainable for me someday.

Oh well.

I've seen a few people say that they found Sheratan easier than Blood Moon.

Out of curiosity, for those who beat it, what team did you all use?

I'm planning to bring him down to 49% and then bring in Garnet and possibly Setzer and Amelia to try and OHKO him from that point.

Does that seem possible? Garnet is enhanced and has 4x 10% EVO materia.

I recently defeated Sheratan without really knowing what i do.

Team was

WoL
Earth Veritas
Noctis Full Evasion Fish Tank
Oldman
Dv
Victoria
Soleil
Garnet (was completely naked)
Ayaka
Rikku

Phase 1:
First 3 turns Victoria was casting double firaja and on turn 4 she used her self buff, on turn 5 she was swapped out.

Noctis did all the tanking and got a helping Hand from EV every third turn.

WoL only was their for breaks and the dark dmg. Soleil was dancing, rikku was benched nearly all the time and from time to time ayaka did a bit of mp refresh. After Vicky was being swapped out Oldman and DV got Sheraran down to 49%. On that turn DV was casting his dark resistance skill.
After the transformation i swapped in Victoria, Soleil and Garnet. Soleil did her mag dance, victoria was dial casting firaja, garnet fired off Bahamut and Oldman and DV did the chaining. Sadly i mistimed everything and didn't got the Esper Kill.

The TM is okay, but chasing a limited 5* unit for +10% ATK -20% HP over Proud Fencer seems like a bad use of resources to me. The MP regen is of pretty limited value IMO, would be good on A2 and... Cloud? I guess? Many 5* bases have auto-refresh already and we're surely getting Ramza and Lunera enhancements sometime in the next 12 months.

LSM
Second weapon mastery (Blade, DKS, Fist)
Killer
DW|Awesome Swordsman - if you're running Genji Glove because no AS or the unit has innate DW then you can replace this with Proud Fencer.

The value in LSM+ seems like it's for your second GS-wielder. I didn't even touch on DV's TM. Meanwhile, we're probably a month away from yet another limited banner (Chinese New Year, likely with a new 5*) as well as S2 Sakura and S2 Fina in potentially short order...

Good Lord Enchanted Maze sucks.
I'd rather have a week for Chamber of Crystals, and not this crap.
Tempted to burn some lapis just so I can get my espers to two stars.

I may be able to pull something similar off. No DV, but I do have a fully enhanced Agrias to pair with my Orlandeau.

Also everyone should be sure to get that materia with 10% HP and 50% resist to specific ailments. It looks to be a perfect replacement for Ribbon/Discernment once Ramza Enhancements arrive.

I'm not sure what other ailment protection he would require than those. In his particular situation it's like an enhanced ribbon.


Edit - Never did my daily. Got yet another Zidane. Maybe one day I'll have enough DW to suit an entire team.

I haven't really noticed, have they stopped giving up daily FFVII event currency?

Need to know so I can cash in everything I have left on 6* awakening mats.

I heard that 7* Queen in the future is good unit. So you never know, same with my 2 Lightnings that I pulled months and months ago, kinda bench warmers and boom she is good 7* unit in somewhere not nIer future.

A 5* unit is never not useless, if they're not a dupe, awaken them and use them for expeditions if not a part of your team.

If that TM stacks with LS Mastery and if the sprite design is good, I'm pulling.

Losing 20% health doesn't mean much when she has so much HP anyways. Also I don't even have Werei's TM, I've been using Wisdom so it's a 20% boost for me.

Edit: Unit design is...eehh. I'll daily for the 2 weeks.

Oh, I pulled a dupe queen recently and was disappointed but now I've just looked up her 7 star form and now I'm definitely not.

I'll probably TM farm a second Buster Style for her, she sounds incredible.

Plus she was definitely my fave character from Type-0 and I love her sprite.

(Also I just saw that Japan got Bravely Default units, goddamn they look awesome)

Damn, there has been some crazy good luck here recently!

Well with today's tickets I got my last 4-5 pulls and on that last one which is a 4* it drops a rainbow.

I GOT MY SECOND ELF!

Got Cloud on a Daily! Wooooo! Now I'm debating on throwing out my tickets for that 4* with the shin gloves.

OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG!!!!

I got Cloud on my 5k pull!

This was it. My literal last opportunity to get Cloud.

Came down straight rainbow.
Waited a few minutes to crack it, just knowing that it was going to troll me with my 6th Elfreeda.
Cracked it.

BOOM!!! MOTHEREFFIN' CLOUD!!!

Holy crap!

holy crap i was trying to grab a 2nd elfreeda to (eventually) max out my Cloud so I used my 4* ticket on the cloud banner (which is still up!) and I landed a 2nd Cloud??? WHAT?

Had three regular tickets and thought...why save them up when the Christmas banner is limited and they wont be back again for a while. Maybe i could pull Christine or so...1. Ticket...3* Iris ....2.Ticket 3* Hayate 3. Ticket

So good...dont think i could have pulled a better unit at this point.

Congratulations to all of you! Enjoy levelling up those units and making the most out of them in the current and future content :)

Thanks.

How did your onion knights do at killing the mini marlboros? Strategy will probably vary depending on whether or not you can wipe out the adds in time with the devour. If I recall there were quite a few double Rikku strats

Not too bad, I can take them out in three or four turns, depending if LB is up. I ended up doing a double Rikku strategy.


Thank you :)

So I just managed to take out Malboro and his minions! I went with the team below. Unfortunately I didn't have Ifrit equipped. I finished the fight using Limit Breaks in the chain of attacks but guess they didn't land for the final blow, but I'm fine with that as I was just really hyped up and wanting to deal a crazy amount on the final blow, as all three enemies percentages were just right! I took all the devours and everything that got thrown at me as I had both Rikku's in play. Wasn't really looking at turn counts or thinking about what comes next, just repeating the same moves and making sure everyone is alive and has reraise. Also, friend Onion Knight had Excalibur and Onion Sword (I had Fire weapon and Onion Sword).

Someone please tell me that after Story 7 that it boosts the rates further and it just hasn't been publicly announced yet.

Nope, the rates are terrible because the entire event is terrible.

I've been wasting all my NRG on it the last few days and I still don't even have enough for the 4* ticket because the new story portions cost a crap load of candy canes.

The entire thing was done poorly.

I managed to get the Gown and all the baby pots but I don't think my brain can handle anymore.

Why do 100% TM-maxed units give 0% TM when fused with a duplicate? I'm not saying they should give the full 100% all over again as that would be too easy, but not even the base 5%?!

Anyone think it worth crafting like 10 Joyful spirits just make my life easy for my Arena team or just focus on getting candy for the large pots?

That's a lot of candy cane farming just for arena - Is rather have the gown and pots. Or the gown and use my energy elsewhere.

10 may be a bit excessive, but I'd at least like 2 of them on 2 Arena units. That's 12000 Candies. I got the gown yesterday so I'm just pondering.

Also, something I posted elsewhere in regards to Kryla -

I like the unit but her kit just doesn't seem to be 5* worthy.

If they increased her breaks and Imperils to like 60% and 65% respectively it would help so much. 70% may be too high for now but 50% doesn't cut it for a 5* breaker/Imperil either and E. Ace has been able to Imperil 3 elements for 75% for months now.

Her hex doesn't seem to do enough damage in harder content so what's the point?

Her enhancements will be bomb though and I feel like they've made her with enhancements in mind and not she's not a "for now" unit.

People should just wait for CG Lid instead

I recently got rainbow Duke from a normal ticket. Is he any good?

Duke is a decent unit, with an amazing great TM. He shines best with Ryunnan's Northern Lights spear, but an alternative is to have him equipped with a non-elemental weapons and add Ice/wind/Lighting elemental via his own abilities. He also makes a solid finisher with his 1040% mod LB.

He also has an AoE Stop ability which is great for Arena, where you can stop those pesky evade units.

The biggest downside is that he really needs a second Duke to chain.

Why do 100% TM-maxed units give 0% TM when fused with a duplicate? I'm not saying they should give the full 100% all over again as that would be too easy, but not even the base 5%?!

Awhile ago they were talking about giving a reward or something for your completed 100% trust units, I'm not sure what happened to that.

Its been so long ago that I honestly doubt they'll do anything at this point with it. It would be nice if you could covert it into a 5% Trust Moogle or something.

But I've been stockpiling them for the longest time, at this point I'm around 600 units at 100% trust wasting space in my unit inventory.

What to do with your maxed trust units is something this game should address. It really shouldn't be too difficult.

10 may be a bit excessive, but I'd at least like 2 of them on 2 Arena units. That's 12000 Candies. I got the gown yesterday so I'm just pondering.

I think Kryla is 5* worthy, and she has an absolutely amazing TM, but she definitely could use a lot of work.

Her role is primarily as a breaker/imperiler/support unit, but she lacks several crucial things. She's missing Light/Dark Imperil, and her breaks aren't that much better than units like 9S or even Loren (which has a 45% Fullbreak+ that breaks all stats at once).

She would be a must-have unit if she had a -75% Imperil (with Light/Dark as well), and a 60% Break (65% would be too much and would cover Delita's specialty) .

Her Nullying Chant is amazingly useful, and her Hex is a nice touch as a support unit.

I think the other issue is that she's a limited-time unit as well and comes across as a dud for those wanting Christine. I personally want her to stay in the pool (sans Gingerbread man) so that I can get 4 of her for 100% elemental resistance (I currently have 2 of her).

I forgot to mention her TM is good. When compared to a 4* unit like 9S is when she comes across as an even bigger dud.

They should've widened that gap a bit more. I don't think think she would've made Delita completely because he only breaks SPR and DEF one at time and people really only use him to 1TKO events because the rest of his kit is lackluster.

She's built to be a lot more well rounded, which she is, but they just didn't go the extra mile with what numbers she can break and Imperil by.

So I bought the Yuletide Party package for like 2000 lapis. And now I'm realizing, "How the hell do I claim this?" because I need 61 unit spots open since it comes with 30 King Metal Minitaurs, 30 Gil Snapper Families and a TM.

I really wish they would make claiming items work the same way as summoning units: you can go over the cap but can't enter an activity until you bring it back down under the cap.

Only took me most of the day due to shitty random hit/KO luck but FINALY got the last two rewards:
BKotQexl.png


Never want to do that again, urgh, so heavy on luck, even with two Rikku's and Tilith it's not safe. Friend Onion Knight wasn't best suited with mine so I couldn't take down the adds easily, so went on for a while. Was more of an endurance battle and sheer luck at the end. That's me all caught up with the current content!

Just in time though, about to get ready and celebrate New Years Eve :)

Happy New Year to the whole community here! Hope you all have a good time. Hope we continue to stay strong and help each other out in 2018.
