If you don't have Basch nor Mystea maybe pull, but do remember Chow is base 5*.

If you have either of those then don't chase Chow.

Like Rixa said, if you have Mystea, I don't think this is really a slam dunk banner to chase. Actually, this looks a lot like the FF12 banner we just got done with; a split rainbow banner with a tank unit and a finisher. If you didn't chase Basch (who is reasonably likely to acquire enhancements and a 7* form well before Chow) then I'm not sure of the wisdom of chasing Chow.

I certainly wouldn't jeopardize a CG Fina pull over it myself, though it depends on which units you have. If you had Tilith but no Mystea, maybe.
Hmm, good points. I do have Mystea so it's not super urgent, I might just do dailies and maybe use my 4* tickets to try and get Yan and just hope I pull him, then continue to hoard for Fina

Surely you're going to pull on Sakura's banner now, Kourio, and quadruple that rainbow count. CNY is out and the units are mediocre (and you can't pull them from Sakura's banner anyway). The time is now. Pull for the people!
Haha, seriouly I got flashback of exactly one year ago where I spent everything to get Randi and only got Ramza dupe, he traumatized me, I'm getting pulling nightmare lol

Man....seeing Olive enhancements makes me kinda reminiscing my old account.
Making the Switch was obv. the right move considering the lucky pulls i get on my now main...but i really liked Olive, so its a bummer that i dont have her :-/

Here's Yun and Nyx chaining perfectly. Hopefully we can use both on a future 10 man trial lol.

Aw, looks like Lunera's song enhancements stay at 90%; and hp/mp buff is only to the base amount not the multiplier, which while something doesn't seem like a noticeable difference.

As much as I'd love Chow as a magic tank, I can't consider him chaseworthy. It doesn't seem like Yan is worth pulling for either, although her 30% mitigation is a little more accessible than Rikku's(occasionally I find it hard to keep synthesis up) and Rikku's def/spr buff on her limit break will generally be superseded by a bard's or something. I am over 50 tickets, I might spare a couple for fun.

Nah, this time I'll dump all my EX and 10+1 tickets for Lotus Fina, might have to make multiple video of it. (at least one seperate for all my 10+1 tickets, no points on hoarding those forever)

Damn, this is really crazy.
So wait, are you doing lapis/normal tickets until you get a Sakura and then EX/10+1 until you grab a Fina?

"Xon Up" (like 4 or 5 of him) and just hit the chamber of gems. For 90 NRG you on average get better returns. It's because that room only has Support and Healing.

Yeah it's bad, but it's 6 runs vs one run of the 90NRG story event so it kinda evens out. If you want certain tiers then chamber is better.

Got plenty of crysts (I always run the gem chamber to burn energy at work) and gil but don't have Sparky yet so not sure I'll enhance Olive. Already have Cloud and not much else that would go with her lightning imperil. Happy to see she turned out pretty good at least! Enhanced Yun already, Chocobros forever!

Who's pulling tomorrow? I haven't really done much other than dailies since Cloud banner, gonna throw a few tickets and hope for doggo

Lucky day...

Free pull - Kamui
250 pull - Blue > Gold > Rainbow (I love it when that happens!)

Best possible outcome! I was really in need of a 5* meta mage.

So that's another CG Sakura on everyone's friend list! I cannot wait to chain her LB with one from my friends list.

I finally got the rainbow I wanted (past two banners I got Jirayia and Balthier) with no resources used.

edit - You'll get her Kourio!

I'll do dailies and maybe a ticket or two but I really don't need any of the new units. They look fun though. Can't wait to see a list of dawgs during all future story events.

I'm starting to feel left out with these rainbows becoming CGS. This morning I got a blue>gold>rainbow with my 250 and it was Tidus. I'm not disappointed but I've got a diverse cast already and really don't know where he'll fit, if at all.

While I'm here doling out reminders, Ramza is by far the more support-oriented unit at 7*, while Lunera goes all in on the MAG nuker role. If your plan is to enhance one or the other as your perma-bard or whatever, Ramza might be the better call. The practical utility of his breaks, where applicable, dwarf anything Lunera is going to bring to a trial unless you're organizing your entire team around Aureole Ray chains - or 7* Loren/Lunera chains, which I am going to term L'oreole Ray since they both have long, flowing hair. Original material do not steal.

Think seriously about whether or not the additional 15-20 MP/turn is required for the teams you run and the content you do if you have the choice between them.

But then also think about the fact that the VDCNY event is an exploration so you can sink next week's NRG into the story event to shore up your crysts if you want.

Instructions so clear that... wait... WHITE crysts to enhance L'oreole Ray (that's damn good.jpg)? Easy enhancement choice then. So, so easy to rack up high MAG scores on Lunera now.

Stop stealing my rainbow luck, people! Streak up to 36 consecutive blues now. /loudgrumble

I have a little to play with on this banner. ~15 pulls and some dailies. Maybe a couple of my 4* tickets, which might actually be a better spend on this banner.

Yup, it happens, and it has to happen to someone (everyone) eventually. Just sucks when that person RNG decides to hate is **you**.
Oh I know. That is how I felt for the first six months playing this game.

That's about how long it took me to get my first rainbow. I actually thought they were a myth!

Regarding the upcoming banner... I have 8 t tickets right now and will use them all + dailies until I pull Yang.

IF I pull with my tickets I pull for fun. Iam going to say no to 250 dailies, I need to get my Lapis to 5000 I have now ~2700 Lapis. There was some talk over there about possible guaranteed pull, but no mentions how much it would cost.

I love situation where I can just throw tickets towards new banners and it won't feel bad if I won't get anything :D
Like now freebie + 7 tickets = 5% to some tms and mostly trash.

Not feeling bad at all \o/

Daily, free pull and four tickets. All garbage. This is my fourth or fifth banner in a row with no good pulls. My Exvius luck really is dead.

Not really sure what to look forward to at this point. Maybe another raid summon with a 5* base in the raid coin pool, I guess...

Pulled a couple of times.

Well, at least the blue streak ended at 38. Two off-banner golds was enough for me to say "try again tomorrow".

No pulls for me, not even 250s.

But someone has to have gotten Doggo as a friend unit.
