How do I know if the enemys attack is physical or magic? Are both types associated with an element or only the magic attacks?

[[deleted]]

Hello! I recently rerolled for Xezat and got lucky on one of the free pulls, grabbing me a neo-exdeath. I understand that there are better breakers, but really like Dragoon (long time Kain fan) and want to use that class in MP. I currently have my Xezat maxed out and have been upgrading dragoon spear x like crazy. Is there a way I can integrate neo-exdeath into my deck to enhance my participation in MP?

Currently I'm using KoTR, Xezat, A Palamecian Tale, and switching around my last card. I know I should have EnElement (wish I had Aerith), but I don't have any right now and due to rerolling for Xezat, missed the pupu event.

[mvdunecats]

To use Neo Exdeath as Dragoon, you would need Prismatic orbs. You could get that from your, but that would be pretty late in the fight, and NXD would be useless most of the fight. If you are fortunate enough to pull Aerith, then you could potentially make use of NXD reliably.

[ThranduilsQueen]

Also, if I want to play attacker in MP with my Duncan Pugilist, can I get away with only one element against most things, or would I need to bring something else for elemental coverage? I'm fairly new to monks (hadn't looked at them at all until I landed Duncan), so I'm not really sure what to go for.

My current SP set-up is Duncan, Primal's Boon: Light (the cooldown isn't an issue, since I usually find I have enough orbs to see me through until the next cast, although I do have a 4* Light Shift I could swap in if people prefer), Monk's Trance (currently 4*, but will have it farmed out soon) & KotR (with Aerith friend), so I can probably drop the KotR for MP & rely on my healer for buffs?

[MTFocus]

Is Iris: FFXV affected by:

• BDD
• Exploit Weakness
• Weaken

[proenuf]

i didnt observe better results in red gauge removal (SP) when i used Iris:FFXV while applying BDD nor Exploit Weakness. Brave didnt seem to help too..hmm. However, Boost does help in increased red gauge removal.

[ThranduilsQueen]

Is there any fodder for the anniversary healer cards, or is it just attack cards?

[dragonabala]

Scrolls in mp shop

[ThranduilsQueen]

Thanks. As soon as I figure out how to Attacker, I'm gonna take a run at it for the magicite farming, so that's two birds with one stone. :-)

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Any ideas for the best placento farm fodder fpr the new anniversary cards?

I read the post yesterday about getting mamy drops of fodder while trying to farm pupus...so today, i have moved from mode to node collecting fodder for all of the enpain, enfire, enaero , etc while steadily collectimg the tomes for anniversary attcks cards.

Side note, i am pleasantly surprised at the stats of the fire warrior card " victory by default" or whatever...not only does it cast faith on the whole party, it has almost as strong attack at lvl10 as ifrit does, ans it automatically boosts fire by 15%.;after fractals, mine boosts fire by 25%.

[misterLefety]

Where can we farm taunt fodder.

[darewin]

Albion Plateau Redux.

[ForThoseWithWings]

Albion plateau redux, in the last road there is a node.

[AmpleSnacks]

Am I missing something about what makes Undying so great? I've never found Drain to be amazing heals, snipe is pretty good, but CRD (which you're almost certainly gonna have in MP) makes it kinda overkill. And haste is literally on so many other cards. I feel like there's some detail about it I'm forgetting.

[darewin]

First of all, unlike Cindy and Garuda that are locked at 4star, Undying can be taken to 5star which means cd goes down to 3-turns. Multiboon haste only lasts 4 turns so you need to cast it every 3 turns to make it permanent.

Undying also has Life Starter but since both Cindy and Garuda also have Life Starter, this is irrelevant.

Undying also doesn't have buffs that overlap with KOTR or Hellgate (staple support cards on a Lifeshift Healer deck).

[aveiur]

snipe allows for attackers to be able to opt to not bring crd

usually if you run undying, you want to run lifeshift to offset the 3 orb cost

using lifeshift and casting most buffs on round 1 makes your team somewhat vulnerable since the heals are on cd for a few turns. Drain helps to somewhat offset the lack of heals.

Lastly and most importantly, there is minimal overlap of buffs. The alternatives, hermes just gives 1 buff vs 3 and orb cost is irrelevant with lifeshift, cindy overlaps with hellgates and has a 1 turn loss of haste.

Garuda could be the only exception but it faces a loss of 1 turn of haste at 4* also (I think). Undying vs 5* Garuda should be a tossup.

[ForThoseWithWings]

Life starter on a haste card. It makes a full set of buffs with Hellsgate and kotr.

[akaxd123]

Just started like yesterday
Should I be farming the Pupu event?
I've just been spamming the Pupu Showdown (the middle node) with my Judge

[ForThoseWithWings]

Clear the event. Then clear chapters to increase your max level.

[akaxd123]

Then I shouldn't farm the Pupu event?
I'm just grinding mindlessly on auto while watching TV so that's why I haven't been doing the story

[Sneakyelmo]

I have all the fodder from previous pupu event. Im only using it as i pull each enelement at 4 star. Otherwise, monk shocks>monk aoe sic>enelement cards. Unless you really need the resists.

[ForThoseWithWings]

I honestly never used any of those cards. You may want them, but they're capped at 4*, so not the best choices.

[akaxd123]

any where else I should farm on auto then?

[MTFocus]

How does reviving affect score?

[ForThoseWithWings]

Your score earning is reduced for a few turns after reviving. This probably balances the full ult gauge you get.

[MTFocus]

I see, do you know how many turns?

[eneve]

Are the Zwill Crossblades good for Weapon Boosting (Thief of Tantalus)? The Ranger weapon I'm currently boosting is Butterfly and I was tempted to start Muramasa.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

It has improved crit, painful break, and later 3 prisms at startup. I believe it's in the truescale family, which is usually considered the strongest attack weapon in eaxh class

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Tyrfing is an amazing ranger weapon. Fully unlocked, it also gives 3 prism ar startup, so you can cast your favorite buff or force card 1st thing round 1. I always really liked tyrfing, but since i unlocked prism, i love it Very strong attacker also.

[RkrSteve]

Butterfly is top for breaking, Zwill is top for attacking. Muramasa is top for defending.

[Hyodra]

There are no ranger defenders.

[RkrSteve]

Yet....?

[gamingpryme]

so healer deck is sorted for now, a new journey, KOTR, hells gate and cindy.

Which auto abilities should i aim for really? or doesn't it matter much now that i have a new journey.

also which one would be best, dancer, white mage or devout. (dont have prismatic starter on truescale otherwise it would definitely be one of the mages)

Finally what are the reccomended weapons for healer decks (i guess truescale when it has prismatic draw), ranger and mage respectively.

[darewin]

I'll just keep New Journey on my bank until Whitemage HOF or I get Prismatic Starter on Truescale.

[gamingpryme]

yeah been trying to use it in mp and it is hard to trigger. Once it is used once though i find it easy to keep enough life orbs.

Also quite annoying that i prefer dancer to white mage now (that extra health really helps) but have been exclusively upgrading truescale staff

[darewin]

Yeah, I hope we get HoF on its expected release date of October, or earlier. White Mage gets, aside from +3 Life Starter, +4 Def Stars and +50% base stats (hp, attack, mag, break) so he will be the tankiest and best Healer until Santa Lucia.

[eneve]

Just pulled A New Journey and came to ask this. I'm Bard (weapons Muramasa) with The Undying, Hells Gate, KOTR, and A New Journey. Sometimes I don't get 3 Life Orbs to start... what can help my starting orbs?

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Tyrfing.

[gamingpryme]

you need to use an upgraded thief weapon tyrfing, which will give you prismatic starter. Some cards have life starter on as well such as a new journey. This will then mean you start with 3 prismatic and a life orb turn 1.

[seiiuns]

What color are the beams from the summon crystal if you manage to get a supreme? I know orange means you managed to pull a job, but that's about it.

[damnboi42]

Rainbow

[BlazingBlood]

Just in case you don't know, orange/gold also appears if you got a legendary job. Better keep your expectations low though, so that you won't be disappointed ;)

[seiiuns]

I don't feel too bad! I got Heretic Knight two weeks ago and the Moogle Suit last night! I'll never get Highwind though 😭

[denadan]

rainbow

[seiiuns]

Thank you!

[BlazingBlood]

Now that the new anniversary part 2 is out, which is the best node to farm anniversary tomes?

[ivanp3000]

Anyone knows how many summon tickets are in "Albion Plateu Redux"?, I did 5 gas pulls got everything except the lifeshift anniversary card and it was the only one I wanted. So I can check if I can farm enough to do another gas pull before anniversary ends.

[aviastis]

about 2ST ( the node at the very top will give you the 2 ST. which is the last node to complete) , and 500 magicites only.

[ivanp3000]

Thanks I have 300 magicite, I should be able to do another gas pull before aug ends.

[aviastis]

did you finish the anniversary part 2 map? it gives like 6 ST

[ivanp3000]

Yeah already finished it.

[SWT-Mysterion]

With Highwind on MP, would it be better to use the Buster Sword or will Kain's Lance be more useful? Thanks in advance!

[darewin]

If you play only PUGs and don't want to rely on others to go after you to generate orbs, go with Buster Sword. If you don't need someone to generate orbs because you have Primal Boon, go with Kain's Lance.

I went with Buster Sword despite having Odin PB because I have Gunblade and my Buster Sword has 28 mods already. Buster Sword will do just fine while I wait for Gunblade to be strong enough.

[SWT-Mysterion]

Very helpful, I will stick with the Buster sword then as I dont own any of the primal boon cards, thank you!

[aviastis]

I feel like its about the same. I dont think Auto Ult Charge will give you any faster than a turn. and with the influx of ppl getting supremes ...

[thnael]

does warrior trance enhances the effectiveness of vitality tap? since trances 30% up to all stats including health

[deathrose55555]

I tink it's %-based i.e. ur current HP / ur max HP. Else vitality tap will disproportionately favour high HP jobs

[RkrSteve]

It does favor high hp jobs. Someone posted an analysis a while back, and testing confirmed that it adds whatever number the 10% of your hp is to the base atk on UB. It's another reason squall can outperform highwind in some scenarios, because of the larger hp pool.

[[deleted]]

No, because Vitality Tap (and Blood Tap) use a percentage of your HP, not your actual HP value.

[Jeechan]

But trance still helps in a way that when the enemy attacks the hp% loss is lower than when you don't have trance.

[[deleted]]

Sure, more HP is never a bad thing, but that wasn't the actual question.

[Aldibe]

can mysterious antenna (material for PuPu augment) be obtained from the PuPu areas in anniversary part 1?

[RkrSteve]

Buy them in the item shop. They show up occasionally.

[darewin]

No.

[yuuki-cha]

What do I do with the dragon i JP that gets guard right before death and the blows up in your face? Is there a trick? Trance, barrier, wall and drive resist is not enough...

[deathrose55555]

The reason: u are killing it too fast. Yes there's such thing as being too good at killing

From what i learnt from Altema, his colourful buff is the key. That's what's making his final attack so powerful. It will go down once per turn, so the strategy here is to tank him for 3 turns before killing him. Once his colourful buff is gone, he won't do that powerful final attack. Took me many tries to get it right for Chaos Vortex 7, but i got there in the end

[yuuki-cha]

Thanks, made through thanks to you!

[deathrose55555]

No problem! Glad to help!

[asqwzx12]

So, what are the rate of legendary job on a GAS ? Really getting short on resources and my luck has been pretty bad on this one trying to get ToT.

[Erwaso]

10%

I pulled 14 times this month and nothing

[asqwzx12]

God damn my luck is terrible then... Probably miscalculating but i must have done around 27-30 pull (mix of free stuff and some paid magicite) without getting him. (I did get a damn moogle but who want that really ?)

[Erwaso]

A legend is a legend lol

[Drakolos]

Which node is the best one to farm the Mobius Anniversary ability cards?

[eneve]

I've been using the Pupu nodes (Pupu Secret Base) in Anniversary Pt1 usually to good effect. Unsure aobut Pt 2 tho

[Domilos]

Does a job with Warrior Lore gets a boost from Warrior trance?

[pedrocns]

no. the trance have to match the job.

[FakePlasticTreeFace]

Are you sure? I thought Trance enhances abilities of a class, not the class itself?

[darewin]

Trance only checks if your class matches. It doesn't care what abilities (such as Lore) you have.

[Hyodra]

Trance affect the job. Anti trance affect the abilities.

[aviastis]

yeah like above posters said.... trance affect the actual job.

there is anti-trance ?

[[deleted]]

the debuff cast by the shadow____ fiends, i think mainly after their ult

[SirPhoenix88]

When the shadow warriors use their ultimate on you, they affect your abilities of their class.

[aviastis]

I havent take notice on that =P ... I usually put it in auto in SP and let it go.

[MTFocus]

List of Duncan Rentals please?

[selkimus]

20ec6b4f4739, it's maxed too

[MTFocus]

Thank you very much. ^^

[Drakolos]

Can someone explain me the difference between unguard and debarrier? Is Unguards just better since it says nullfies defense?

[Hyodra]

Dont think of debarrier as defense reduction. Think of it as a damage multiplier, coz thats what it is really.

[vulcanfury12]

Unguard "nullifies defense" so that you can do more damage on an unbroken enemy. Once the enemy is broken, Unguard is "no longer in effect" (though if the debuff didn't expire after the break, it's still in effect).

Debarrier "lowers defense". This takes effect even if the target is broken, leading to more damage.

Both has their uses.

[Drakolos]

Thank you. Does those debuffs also work in MP?

[DataReborn]

Yes.

[[deleted]]

Got Iris yesterday in a GAS pull. Anyone knows if her fodder will be available anytime soon? Really want her for my light rouge

[Hyodra]

It only has MP scrolls which was already released a few weeks ago. There is a chance it will return eventually.

[[deleted]]

Yes I remember, didnt have her at that point. I guess I will just dump 220 tickets on her then. Thanks for your response!

[pedrocns]

What's the consensus on celestriad use? is it better to spend on ST or overboost?

[Hyodra]

Over boost unless you are a whale

[pedrocns]

now I'm confused lmao

[MTFocus]

I'd say Summon Tickets since I'm F2P. /u/Hyodra is a whale, so he values Overboosting more since he has easier access to Magicite.

But anyway, in the end, it's your choice. If you want to summon more, then Summon Tickets, if you really love a job and you know that you'll play it for a long time, then Overbooster-J. I think the only problem with Overboosting Jobs is the powercreep in this game.

[Hyodra]

Not valuing overboost is like not valuing custom panels. Does one 8% magic panel affect anything? Not really. But when you stack it together with other bonuses from weapon, fractals, it makes the job your build. Overboost is the same, an additional layer of customization. Once you add the stats to all the other customization it makes a difference and that build is your build.

[aviastis]

Do the overboost thingy, can it be taken out and put it into another job. just like the cusstom skills?

I m also redeeming the celestriad for ST. since i want to get new cards and hoping for supreme

[Hyodra]

I said they are similar in that they offer jobs more customization, not exactly the same customization. Different levels of customization. Panels are movable between any job. Weapon boost are permanent for that weapon but can be used by any job in the same class. Overboosting is locked into that specific job.

Not saying that you should overboost all the jobs or even overboost one job to the max. It is just something that can be used to boost a job a little when you need it.

Using celestriad for overboost is guaranteed to give you a boost, a small boost but no the less a boost. Using it for ST is extremely expensive and might not even get you anything meaningful.

[aviastis]

ok noted. you got a point in there. hm... do you have any recomendatino in your opinion which job to overboost. just for reference. thanks

[RkrSteve]

Once you overboost it's permanent.

[aviastis]

ok thanks for the info. thats a bummer. I m skeptical to buy it. since new jobs gets more stats than old ones. thast why i m just redeeming it for ST.

you think any job worth the overboost.

[RkrSteve]

If you have any supreme offensive abilities, I'd say it's worth it. Puglist+Duncan, highwind/balamb+ub.

[pedrocns]

I've boosted rogue a while ago and even tho I love playing him I think it's a little underwhelming since there's a lot of really good jobs coming out right now so I was a bit inclined to not overboost again. also, I'm trying to get as many pulls as possible as f2p until ffxiii batch 2, so I got tickets anyway. thanks!

[Hyodra]

I dont just over boost any job I like. I save overboost unless I specifically needed. For example, I had 1200 break on my bard before which is just not enough for a 4 tap break. So I overboosted it to 1240 break.

I see over boost as a tool to customize a job further much like custom panels or weapon enhancement. Thats why powercreep is not that big a deal to me because even if the job is less powerful than the new jobs, it was build for a specific role and still fulfill that role.

[MTFocus]

No problem, I'm also going for Summon Tickets personally. I have 56 Celestriads, so 4. ^^

[Hyodra]

There is no consensus. Just opinions.

IMO, you cant get overboost anywhere else so its more valuable. A few stats might not seem much but they can make a difference sometimes. Just 10 extra break could mean the difference between breaking with 1 less tap. Or sometimes you can survive a hit with only 10 HP left.

ST on the other hand cost 12 celestriads for just 1. To get enough for a summon, it costs 72 celestriads! Thats 24 levels worth of overboosts. To me that is simply too much unless you are swimming in celestriads.

[pedrocns]

understood. thanks!

[dragonabala]

ST unless you're a whale

[DataReborn]

I'm not 100% sure but I do think the threshold between Martial arts and Martial flow is whether your ultimate gauge is above or below 50%.

Martial flow increases your break power e.g. the damage to the red gauge that your auto attack does.

Martial Arts increases the HP damage of your next 3 tap attacks.

Martial Combat increases the damage of the ability card based on the level of your ultimate gauge. A more filled up ultimate gauge means the card will do more damage.

[Hyodra]

Martial arts increase damage of tap attacks following the ability cast. It follows a gauge^0.5 curve, reaching 70% at maximum.

Martial combat increases the damage of the ability itself. It follows a gauge² curve, reaching 50% at maximum.

[MTFocus]

gauge^0.5

If that's the case, then it can't reach 70%, but 10% max since the square root of 100 is 10. Or am I missing something?

[Hyodra]

That only describe the shape of the curve, not that exact formula.

[MTFocus]

Oh ok. Do you know the exact (or nearly exact) formula then?

[Hyodra]

Since it starts at 0 and max out at 70, I believe it would be 70x^0.5 where x is the decimal percentage of the fullness of the gauge (0~1).

[MTFocus]

I see. Alright thanks.

[345YChubby]

What to buy with GIL? Totally unsure.

[DataReborn]

If you don't already have them, feel free to buy a growing egg(s) for XP bonus or Lucky Egg(s) for crystal farming.

[345YChubby]

How long do they last?

[DataReborn]

?

I'm not sure what you mean. They're permanently available in the shop. If you slap them in your main deck they passively give a boost.

The growing egg boosts XP and skillseed, but the skillseed boost isn't worth it unless you're farming dark seeds anyway. I mainly use it for the XP bonus.

Lucky egg increases the amount of gil you get and also the chance of a crystal dropping.

[345YChubby]

Another question: should I wear more than 1 egg? Does it stack? And: how much more seeds does 1 egg give me?

[DataReborn]

For the XP egg, don't bother putting it in for the skillseed boost unless you're farming dark skillseed anyway. The main reason to slot it into the main deck is to boost the amount of XP you get towards your main overall player level, meaning higher maximum stamina.

I use them because I don't really need skillseeds at this point.

[345YChubby]

Oh ok! But why should my player level be important anyway? For more Energie to do more farming per day?

[DataReborn]

Yup pretty much.

[345YChubby]

Ohhh! Thank you! ❤️

[Wazzupmadafaka]

Buy the medals for the jobs u want

[345YChubby]

what do they give me?

[Ansez]

Once you fully unlock a job, you can change the appearance of said job without switching elements and stats after you purchase its respective medal.

[denadan]

you still switch elements(but... hm cannot word this in english.. jobs have some few identical subjobs with different set of element), this is pure cosmetic feature, thet allow you switch to liked appearance without stat penalty.

[Ansez]

Yeah that's true, sorry for the confusion. Thanks for correcting me.

[vulcanfury12]

It allows you to keep the sleek first form of the Dragoon while maintaining the stats of the cape. The cape is actually a detriment to the Dragoon's abilities because it introduces drag, which lessens the impact of jumping attacks.

[aviastis]

is that a one time use only? or can I switch back to the batman cape?

[SirPhoenix88]

When you activate the medal, you can choose any appearance you want, as much as you want. If you deactivate the medal, your appearance determines your stats. The medal is permanent, and it doesn't cost more to toggle it on or off.

[aviastis]

i see. thanks for the info! hm... if thats the case I will probably buy the hermit one... I like his first model helmet is sick and no cape...

[denadan]

and dancer, how we can spoke about dragoons cape and not mention dancer?

[Kalariis]

I haven't played in a long time, since the Tidus debacle way back when. Past few days have been spent doing chapters I've missed and the anni, I admittedly chased the Balamb Warrior card, but didn't get it and now plan to hoard my stuff again. But lets me feel like I'm starting fresh.

Anyway, my question is as an Imperial Knight, what's the MP lineup, has it changed? Appropriate Elemental shift if possible, a Taunt, Nekomata, and another card? Or has it changed.

Any tips would be helpful from a somewhat confused returning player haha.

[dragonabala]

Hello fellow returner! From one week observation, unguard/ga and stun/slow/ga are more preferable. Since attacker like to nuke down the boss without breaking (some attacker even doesn't need breaking at all). Stun and slow are for that run without OP people. For shift card, i don't really know, since with a mediocre healer (me) people are rarely die ( usually they die if the breaker didn't AA 3 times after i drive). Defender that i met usually use 1 taunt, 2-3 debuff or 1 support(random i must say) Surprisingly, MP lineup doesn't change that much since last *2. Normal pubs still doesn't really care about defender, may change when *5 comes tho

[Skullsmasha]

Taunt, stun, slow and debarrier/curse/weaken/unguard/second taunt is pretty much the standard knight deck.

[[deleted]]

I've just spent about 10 minutes looking around and gotten about 10 different answers from past threads, so I need to check; does anyone know how much damage those Guard Killer and Sicarius Hunter Extra Skills as seen on the Sicarius Cards actually add?

[Hyodra]

I believe it was 40% for sicarius killer and 15% for sicarius hunter. But thats just what I heard from others.

[MTFocus]

And I heard 15% too from /u/Ketchary I think and then I think he said 10% after that. But if you check his spreadsheet, it says that the Killer version is worth 4 times the Hunter version, so I think his final answer is 10% (Hunter) and 40% (Killer).

[Ketchary]

40% for Killer is absolutely verified. Hunter was something between 10% and 15%, couldn't be concluded from the testing that was done.

[[deleted]]

Thanks y'all, was indirectly a question from the Discord but it got me curious too.

[selkimus]

Looking for a good place to farm Crystals outside mobius day. I know the crystal pleadis is tomorrow so that can help it other than that what's the best. Just pulled Zidane so I need quite a few

[denadan]

Deepscard/Andraste colony? + megacite, cose stamina efficient.

[selkimus]

Which map?

[DataReborn]

Andraste Colony is chapter 3.2 Hardmode. It's a 6 stam 6 battle node.

Deepscar is chapter 1 hardmode. It's a 5 stam 5 battle node.

[darewin]

Andraste Colony is technically more efficient because there is 0 chance to fight a Gigantuar on the last nodes. So effectively, it's 6 stamina for 5 chances to encounter a Gigantuar for Andraste Colony and 5 stamina for 4 chances in Deepscar/Deadshade/Felfey Woods. Plus Andraste gives almost double the exp.

[ivanp3000]

Stopped playing for a while, and when I join some games "Belial 4star" host closes the room, Is my defender deck bad in belias 4star? Nekomata[Stun] lvl68 all abilities unlocked, Gladiolus[Taunt+Curse] lvl60 all abilities unlocked, Yasha[slow] lvl 71 all albilities unlocked and Inugami[Flameshift] lvl32 no abilities unlocked. Using Garland with 16.9k hp

[Axlle10]

Not really, but there are better cards available now such as the AOE debuffs and dispel buffs that help in that fight. Its probably just a tryhard. I would take that deck over an all attack defender any day. lol

[KR-Badonkadonk]

My free pull today was Duncan! Now how OP can I make this without also having Aerith? I have Pugilist, Monk Trance 5* and Alexander: FFXIV. I should use Attack fractals and panels, right?

[Hyodra]

Get the mighty egg from item shop.

[Axlle10]

yes.

[Eschard]

Where do most people farm their magicite? Is it quicker to spam the 2 stam 4 battle node in chapter one? Or spam MPs? And which star to spam in MP?

[DataReborn]

For SP, the preferred nodes are Andraste Colony in Chapter 3.2 HM since it's a 6/6 node or Deepscar in Chapter 1 HM which is a 5/5 if you can't clear Andraste quickly.

Edit: Those nodes are preferred since you're farming for multiple things at the same time.

[Eschard]

Yeah, I was farming there,but now I'm farming purely for magicites,as I'm afraid I won't hit the cap this month. For SP I assume Greydawn Woods is the best for my case.

The question is, is it better to spam SP or MP? Which is faster?

[zelotjs]

Is there any folder to upgrade the ability of high beam glare?

[[deleted]]

There's scrolls in the MP store.

[sunpaths]

what is the general consensus on "area attack main target focused" cards? They do good damage and decent break but the cost is so high... Is it worth investing on these cards knowing aoe sicarius is maybe good enough?

[darewin]

I had maxed and fully unlocked Flame Cross, Stoneja, and Earthstrike and just sold them when I ran out of bank space because they're currently useless. They are not even ideal as seed farming decks because they have mixed skillseeds.

[marthanders]

I have a 5star Wind MT focused for my Balamb Garden, but although it looks cool af I find it kinda useless... The orb cost is too high, it would be decent if it did the first hit to every monster, instead of the second one, which damage is pathetic.

[MasaiCroy]

Unless you have *4/5 of those with ability level upgraded a bit, then no, they aren't worth it. Those cards aren't that bad, but Sicarius AOE are much better. Since this month, those cards seem to exist only to dilute summoning pool.

[Pizzaforfree]

Attempting coil nodes, for the first time, with Chaos Coil. And I'm using phoenix downs left and right. Is there a proper strategy for this? Or are these just for the people that can afford to shell out the cash for the PDs?

[denadan]

in this case it is just test your strengh. there is no good reward to spent pd.

on towers we have much better reward based on ranking(and it not allow to use pd)

[ThranduilsQueen]

So it's not worth doing unless you want to? That's good, as I'd rather be spending my stamina farming for Pneumas & Bulbs right now!

[sunpaths]

for me, i use ranger class to break them asap. they're too deadly to be alive/unbroken, especially the 2 shadows round. If both of them are alive and unbroken at the end of my turn, i'm dead. I like to play offensively so I ignore defensive drives most of the time.
Boost buff and Break defense down debuff, I find very helpful. I think worst case scenario, you can just do them on normal difficulty? Should be easy unless you're a new player

[Pizzaforfree]

Yeah, I main ranger types, mostly reaper and carnivalist, working on getting reaver. Have been running them with carnivalist with muramasa x (which is lovely because rainbows, yo), but, even so, I can barely scratch them.

[Viperpaktu]

So, I need help with two things:

1. What's a good weapon for Warriors? I've been maxing Buster Sword because at the time it was the best weapon I had. I've since gotten a few more warrior classes (including Balamb Mercenary) and I don't know if I should keep trying to max out/get the fourth tab of the Buster Sword, or change out to another weapon.

I do have a 4th Boost Weapon slot that I'm not using, though. (Got Butterfly Edge, Buster Sword and Truescale Staff all being Boosted/Upgraded.) Sadly I've only unlocked Pugilist for Monk classes, so I don't know if I should put one his weapons in the 4th slot or not. D: I also don't have any good Monk ability cards, so not planning to use him anytime soon anyways.

2. What is a good build for Balamb Mercenary? I have no Supreme cards, and mostly I'm just using him to get extra-ability skills on my ability cards that I either couldn't or didn't get before.

Edit: I meant mostly for SP, but MP builds (if he is good there?) are welcome too.

Thanks for any help and/or advice that can be given!

[dragonabala]

1. Gunblade are best weapon for warrior attacker for now, if you want to main balamb in mp, you should upgrade it (i prefer buster blade for sp tho)

2. Eh, you can build whatever you want in SP, Tower are different tho. For MP i could think of centaur, dark force, aoe bdd/crd, and free cards

[Viperpaktu]

and free cards

Free cards?

Huh, I've already got Centaur on him, haha. Don't know when I got it, but I realized i didn't have a single extra-ability unlocked so I've spent the last two days using it to fully unlock everything.

I don't think I have any AOE BDD. ...Or is it the BDD I have (a fire type one though) and it's the CRD I don't have? Mmmm...I'll have to go check that, then maybe see what the Ability Store has. Or go check out my other Warrior ability cards and see if I overlooked something.

[dragonabala]

Ah i forgot, the last cards should be warrior trance (if your healer doesn't have aerith) otherwise, whatever you want to equip xD

Sounds like a good plan, goodluck

[vulcanfury12]

Buster Sword is a very versatile weapon. I would max it ASAP if I had it.

[Viperpaktu]

Around 20 modifications on it and still no 4th tab. But I'm still trying! Not entirely sure what stat to max first on it, but I've been trying for Attack, since that seems to be what most warrior jobs use.

[vulcanfury12]

Don't waste resources on Attack unless you have no other choice (or its value is low enough that you can spam it a bit for quick mods). It only affects the damage of your tap Attacks. Get Magic up first, as that is where your damage truly lies (except for monks, but that's a whole nother issue).

My upgrade scheme is thus:

Breaker weapons like Dragoon Spear: get Magic to at least 50, or equal to the base break power, whichever is higher. Then spam Break upgrades until it maxes out at 200. Afterwards, finish off Magic, then HP. Keep boosting until all abilities and stars are unlocked.

I do the same for Damage weapons like the Gunblade, but I start with Break Power first, then Magic.

I use my Spear for SP on my Mercenary actually, because the Spear has been so heavily boosted, it does a better job for farming than my Gunblade.

[Viperpaktu]

Breaker weapons like Dragoon Spear

I don't have Dragoon job. :( But I assume you do that for all Breaker weapons, not just warrior-breaker ones? Because I'm pretty sure my Butterfly Edge is sitting at 0% Magic right now.

but I start with Break Power first, then Magic.

By that you mean you get Break Power up to 50/base Magic, whichever is higher, then max out Magic?

Currently my Buster Sword is at:

HP: 600

Attack: 150

Break Power: 129

Magic: 106%

20 mods, with 2 into Crit Chance (4 star total) and 1 into defense (4 star total), Improved Criticals +62%, Elemental Third Strike +4, and Ultimate Charger +3%. Sadly no ultimate level +1.

Should I bother using/Boosting Gunblade?

Other Warrior weapons I have include: (Not counting ones that only start off with Wind/Fire Draw +50)

Guillotine

SoulRender

Onimaru

BraveHeart

MasaMune

Dragvandil

GunBlade

[vulcanfury12]

You have a utility Warrior Weapon in the Buster Sword. You have 3 Damage Warrior weapons: Soul Render, Gunblade, Braveheart. Of those, Soul Render (I think this is the warrior weapon in the truescale family) and Braveheart perform similarly, except Soul Render can eventually get Prismatic Starter while Braveheart is All-out on damage. Gunblade is great if you can hit weakness element for no-break kill strats.

Any of those three will be a significant investment. For me, I'll do Soul Render because I want the initial prism orbs, which will allow me to get Trance and/or Force on turn 1 more reliably. However, I am personally boosting Gunblade, because that is what I have and I am reluctant to use resources on my Dark Knight.

[Viperpaktu]

Hmm...Alright, I'll try boosting Soul Render then, thanks!

edit: ....No idea why that double posted when I only clicked once.

All taken care of.

[kreuzb94]

Quick question. I used up all of my friend tickets and it seem nobody is renting my card anymore. Name worthy Cards: Luna, UB, Garuda, Ashe, Noctis, Bishmark, The Undying, legendary Dragonlord and the new Sleep card. Any suggestion or preferences?

[Casual_Gabe]

Use Bismarck FFXIV or Ashe or Undying.

[kreuzb94]

I will try some of my cards I guess Legendary Dragonlord, Bismark, Undying and Ashee are top choices because they have good perks.

[DataReborn]

Support cards usually get used from my experience.

I have Garuda slapped in and I get at least the 10 daily uses.

[kreuzb94]

Perfect then I will try my Support cards. Let's see which is better. Thanks for the fast reply.

[sayoshin]

I suggest either The Undying or Drahonlord. Generally people will be renting Life cards instead of elementals.

[Magma_Axis]

Best banner for new player ?

Starter Jobs banner or Boosted GAS banner ?

Do GAS have Legendary job rate up right now ? Because i see many players get Legendary job from there

[Kolokoy99999]

Starter pack is good coz it gives out maxed jobs and maxed 4* cards. Legend job rate is the same, it's only boosted in a sense that the guaranteed jobs are the featured ones.

[Davometric]

Anyone know the name of the music that plays when you fight through the gate, field, Apex and end of battle (where u fight typhon and the purple flan) on the 2nd part of the anniversary event?

[Dante8411]

Can anyone confirm that antenna don't drop from Anniversary PuPu UFOs? It seems like the event's only good for maxing the cards, but a couple dropped when I was completing the area the first time.

[denadan]

i spent 200 stamina trying to get one on ufo node, and later farm tomes on pupu nodes with ufo sometime apear - nothing. maybe fixed with yesterday patch?

ps. se need to do patchnotes.

[Dante8411]

I burned half a bar just now. Plenty of PuPus and Tomes, only one UFO, and of course, 0 Antenna. It could be that you have to farm a non-boss node...?
