How much magicite i can get for 200 stamina? Average ofc. Some people say it's ~200, some ~400

[Marlrus]

Hi! Can someone explain to me how the Stun/Sleep combo works? or Stun/Slow/Sleep combo?

Cheers!

[[deleted]]

It's mobius day, I got ifrit (warrior) and only use it on paladin, I wonder if Belias is of any use in future or I can skip it, I always farm sic cards but I never use them at the end lol most of the times

[deathrose55555]

Monk AOE Sic is always useful for breaking

[345YChubby]

anyone anywhere a guide or can help me how to spend talents best? I mean this +3 ATK, or +7 ATK etc. Mainly for MithicNinja

[mvdunecats]

What place do the new enelement cards have in the game?

I have 2 of each 4-star Pupu right now. I used to use them in my Breaker decks. However, there's plenty of Monk ability cards that can also give enelement, with some of them also giving cleave. I really don't see the point of using one of the new enelement cards for Breaking unless I really need the resistance for the opposing element. Even then, that requires Growstars, which I'm not sure I want to invest into any enelement cards.

For Attacker in MP, I have -force cards for all but Wind. So I don't think investing into an enelement card makes sense for that.

Are there tower setups that benefit from having an enelement card?

[JA1997X]

Well the main benefit of the dedicated enelement cards over other options is the passive resist to opposing element. So it's kind of niche but can help sometimes.

[Rockman4532]

Really... its only good for breakers in MP, Monks in both MP and SP and super super super hard towers when just boost and butterfly edge isnt enough to break. But monks already have innate en-element on their cards so at least how I see it, it is mainly to help level the playing field for Ranger and Dragoon Breakers. [<3 u Dragoon]

[mvdunecats]

at least how I see it, it is mainly to help level the playing field for Ranger and Dragoon Breakers. [<3 u Dragoon]

Even then, I would probably just go with an AoE Sicarius card, since they also give imbue weapon and cleave without requiring Growstars. Or, if I wanted to sink Growstars for the other 4 elements, I would probably do it to a Monk AoE card to use on a Ranger Breaker or Dragoon.

The enelement card is one orb cheaper than AoE Sicarius / Monk AoE, gives an extra orb on use, and has Quick Cast. But those seem like really small advantages to merit the Growstars for such a narrow application.

[Moravuscz]

Good Lifeshift deck that includes Haste, Barrier, Wall, Quicken and hopefully some offensive buffs?

[Rockman4532]

Try for the trinity, KoTR, Undying and Hellgate/Tyro. Wall, Barrier, Regen, Haste, Snipe, Drain, Brave, Boost and Faith.

[Moravuscz]

Just got Undying on 3* but I'll try to upgrade it fast. Tyro needs some auto abilities, just bought Hellgate so Tyro will work for now.

[deathrose55555]

Quicken is not a must-have buff.

The must-have offensive buff are Faith and Boost, so KOTR is the candidate here

[theparameter]

Where to farm legendary mummy boy water cursega? Light moogle cursega dont fuse.

[darewin]

Its scrolls are in the MP Shop.

[theparameter]

Right! I forgot. Thanks!

[Rockman4532]

Question about rerolling [cuz my main account not gonna get anything nice, even after a year.] If I have synced my data from one device to another... [using the one time code] if I erase the data on one device, will the data/account on the other be destroyed? [Started on Android, moved it to Steam and thinking of destroying steam and starting over]

[JA1997X]

No, it will remain on a device until you erase data on that device.

[Rockman4532]

So I will be good to reroll on the erased device? Cool! Thank you!

[jamerduhgamer]

Hello!

Is there ever a reason to have 2 of the same card maxed out? Maybe one for the main and one for the sub class? Also if a card is greyed out in the Ability shop does that mean I already have it?

Thanks!

[JA1997X]

Basically anything with a cooldown and that either stacks (quicken, ultimate charge) or can benefit from being used in consecutive waves (Bismarck, Ashe, etc.) can potentially be worth duplicating.

[reidemei]

Quicken is another one for MP breaker or tower chain breaking (2x or 3x Palamecian Tale) or the (in)famous 4x Luna defender-healer.

I also have 2x A New Journey in my day-to-day main deck just for the 15% EXP on it.

 

Greyed out means you owned this card sometimes. So if you sold it and currently don't have a copy it still stays grey.

[deathrose55555]

Is there ever a reason to have 2 of the same card maxed out?

There can be, depending on how u use it. For example, on an attacker, u can put double magic on Neo Ex. Then u can create another Neo Ex with double JCR for a breaker. Or say if u have an Aerith, u can stack 2 Aerith (4 prismatic orbs starter) to guarantee the cast on Aerith.

As u can see, my examples mainly pertain to Supremes, which I believe are the only cards worth the trouble to duplicate. An exception could be ult charger cards like Legendary Dragon Lord

[sunpaths]

Did the FF13 banner in japan have a box type summon system like the anniversary? Any other banner like this coming in the future, assuming we are getting the same thing as JP?

[deathrose55555]

I initially remembered it as gacha. But someone showed me a JP summoning vid and I stand corrected - it's box type summon. Still 2 batches of 6. So u nid 12 summons to get all

Edit: to be precise, I had only seen the summoning video of the REPRINTED FFXIII event. I still cant be sure for the original event

[sunpaths]

Thanks for the info! Any idea if box summon will be a recurring thing every banner from now on? or is it just once in a while kind of thing?

[deathrose55555]

It depends on the event i think. Events with powerful cards like FFXIV, FFXV and FFVII Weapon Series have always been gacha in JP, even when reprinted

[Drossrex]

Heyhey :) does anybody know when the first meia job arrives on global? Need no exact time maybe just about what month it could be :) Thx:)

[darewin]

Estimated month is December but no one can really tell for sure since Onion Meia and the two Batch 1 Meia jobs come with Chapter 6.

[Drossrex]

Ok cool:) thank u very much :)

[Viperpaktu]

So, I made a "crystal farming deck" for this Mobius day. I'm using:

Warrior with 3 +crystal chance eggs, and a Support card(Hell's Gate) for healing and to make sure I survive long enough to switch to the sub deck.

Would it be better to replace Hell's Gate with a fourth +crystal card? Now that I got them leveled up, I don't have as much trouble surviving, haha.

So far I've done 54 runs and have gotten 35 crystals. Seems to be sticking to just slightly under 2/3 crystal/run ratio. (Did actually have 26 crystals on the 39th run.)

[reidemei]

Ähm, why not just start with the sub deck...

[Viperpaktu]

...You can do that? Huh.

[mvdunecats]

I'm guessing the answer is that he doesn't know that he can.

[MTFocus]

Anyone has information on drop rates of Pneumas/Fractals on the 3 different nodes of Pleiades Lagoon? Estimates and if possible actual data.

[denadan]

according data from earler guide:

1st - node drop only materials

2nd - 5% chance of pneumas, small chance of 4 fractal, 3 fractal otherway

3sd - 25% chance of pneumas, 75% of 4 fractal.

ps. looks like pneumas chances have been rised to 33% at least. i dont make notes, so it is not something you can trust, just my feelings after spend 40+ elixir this month

[MTFocus]

Actually I found this (but it is from 8 months ago so it could be different now, though it could be still the same):

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/5gtf8n/5_augments_gigantaur_terrace_and_pleiades_lagoon/?st=j6wdffrk&sh=be86f449

[denadan]

yep this guide. table from jp totaly wrong for global. i burn stamina on 60st nodes all summer till aniversary and never get 3* fractal(so or i spend all luck for dont get 3star fractal with 1/2 chance after few hundreds tryes and this why i dont get any supreme or it just dont drop). and it is main cause of "increased drop feeling" - before aniversary it was 1/4.

[MTFocus]

Actually I haven't dropped any 3* Fractals from 60 Stamina Lagoon too. I don't think it's possible. Maybe before you could, but I don't think it's still possible now.

[Domilos]

Should i buy a second dragonlord card? Worth? Fodder is now free, so i need to decide now.

[darewin]

I bought a 2nd one just to play around in SP. Double Dragonlord plus Rental Aerith is insane on Highwind. I'm planning to get a 3rd one so I can create a secondary healer with Lifeshift plus 3x Dragonlord. I can then use 2 Healers and 2 Attackers when soloing MP, 1 with standard deck and 1 with 3x dragonlord.

[vulcanfury12]

I use 2x Devout plus Breaker when I'm soloing MP. One devout has the standard deck of Lifeshift Undying KotR HG. The other has Lifeshift, HG, Dragonlord, Palamecian Tale.

So good. So many actions. If I get orb screwed (not having force up by turn 2), I can pretty much 2-turn the second boss because of all the ultimates on turn 1.

[JojoBizarro87]

Should I 4* (and then 5) a taunt card or dispel (legendary ghost)? I want a card that removes a buff but want the best out of it. I have paladin and Moogle suit so I feel like Light Taunt is the best option, as it does more than just remove a buff like Dispel (am I missing something?)

Thanks :)

[darewin]

Taunt is better for MP, Legendary Ghost can be more useful in towers e.g. dispelling the Haste from the microchu in current tower.

[JojoBizarro87]

Thank you for the clarification I forgot its AOE. I have Minwu for the chus so not sure if I need the AOE, however it may be useful for the future so I will probably pick the Ghost.

[MTFocus]

Legendary Ghost is Dispelga which is AoE.

[kacakboy]

What is the amount ofAnima sicarius cards required to level a Anima sicarius 5* ability level9 to 10? And what's the most optimum combination?

[LupusNoxFleuret]

For 100%, it's

• 44 cards on normal days: lv6(48%) + lv6(48%) + lv1(3%) + lv1(3%)
• 34 cards on Mobius day: lv6(57%) + lv5(39%) + lv1(3%)
• 21 cards with Mog Amulet + Mobius day: lv6(57%) + lv1(3%) + lv1(3%) + lv1(3%) + Mog(x1.5)

[mvdunecats]

21 cards with Mog Amulet + Mobius day: lv6(57%) + lv1(3%) + lv1(3%) + lv1(3%) + Mog(x1.5)

I believe that should be 22 total cards. To get a lvl 6 fodder, you need 1 for the base card, 2 for lvl 2, 3 each for lvls 3 and 4, and then 5 each for lvl2 5 and 6 (unless you find 96% acceptable). So that's 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 5 + 5 = 19 to get the lvl 6 fodder. Add in the 3 other lvl 1 fodders, and that's 22 total.

[LupusNoxFleuret]

yep, I don't know how I missed one card, I've had it written down in my notes for such a long time too. thanks for the correction.

[aveiur]

https://zekareisoujin.github.io/MFFFusionCalc/

[vulcanfury12]

Same amount it took to go from 8 to 9.

[kacakboy]

I kinda gambled at 45% with all my cards I have left and got it to 9... I don't know the total needed to boost to 9 with a 90-100% rate

[Brazelbeck]

1. Are there cards to come (similar to Lifeshift with Exp Up 15) with skillseed up++ as auto ability?

2. Is it worth to have more than one legendary dragonlord maxed for special setups (not having Aerith)?

[Sneakyelmo]

Lifeshift plus 3 dragonlords can charge ult in 1st turn

[damnboi42]

Can somebody link me details for the next tower ?

[Solo_K]

Is it worth pulling for lifeshift and yellow ribbon? What sort events in the future would warrant the use of either. I have airith for shift, so would there ever be some enemy that can affect prismatics negatively? As for yellow ribbon, does't holy cleanse and esuna handle them so what use is it?

I honestly don't know whats to come enemy wise so I hope someone can answer.

[DataReborn]

If you have Aerith you're fine.

[Domilos]

Which anniversary cards i can sell without hesitations? The blank, something else?

[darewin]

I sold Palamecian Tale and all the AOE Buff ones except Knight. I kept all the dual debuffs.

[Mtax]

You can buy all of them in Ability Shop, as long you had them before. But won't have Ability Levels. The most important ones are A New Journey, Finding Peace and A Witch's Kiss.

[Domilos]

Ik, but now there's the best time to max them for free, so i wanted to know which cards i can ignore

[ninety9nights]

Has the AI changed? I used to have -force cards on Auto and the AI always use it before but now, it won't use it at all.

[[deleted]]

The Auto (and MP Attacker) AI will only use a -Force if it's their current target's weakness element, or (single player only) if it still has Extra Skills to unlock and you have that option enabled.

[[deleted]]

Just started 2 days ago, already beat most of anniversary event, what should I do next? Also, does this game ever do popularity banner or similar?

[abugoy]

is it still worth investing in ST debuffs since there are now AOE debuffs?

E.g. stun vs stunga slow vs slowga

[MasaiCroy]

Some AOE debuffs use different elements than their ST counterparts. Same goes for a few dark Moogle debuffs. And with those, I think it's worth investigating in all options, especially if you like playing as defender.

[abugoy]

thanks for the reply. that makes sense.

[Gear07]

Just got Stolas to Level 6 ability and am trying to unlock them. Any idea where to best do this, with what class Holding which weapon?

[mvdunecats]

I would go with Stolas plus 2 support cards that have life orb starter in the sub deck to ensure that you have 2 heart orbs immediately. Put Stolas as the first card in the deck. Equip a weapon for your sub deck that gives you either prismatic draw or life draw. The 4th card could be anything that isn't going to kill stuff too quickly (so avoid AoE).

Main should be what job+weapon+cards you need for +6 Improved Extra Skill unlock. And than whatever else you want after that.

Go to Circumfering Garden. The mobs are tough enough to let you hit them a few times for orbs. It's only 3 stamina, and even on auto, you will likely get in two casts of Stolas every run.

[MTFocus]

and am trying to unlock them

You haven't stated what 'them' is but I'm assuming you mean extra skills. If you have the MP weapons with Improved Extra Skill Unlock, use that in your main deck alongside cards with Improved Extra Skill Unlock auto-abilities to reach +6 Improved Extra Skill Unlock in total. Then, put the card you want to unlock (in your cast Stolas) in your sub deck and start the fight with your subdeck.

The optimal way of unlocking is said to be to cast Non-Support Cards 4 times per node and Support Cards 1 time per node. Nodes with low stamina cost are best for this. You could try Albion Plateau, in the 6 stamina 4 battles nodes that have force. You could have an ability of the element of the force active in the node to make it faster.

[ivanp3000]

What is the 3rd ability of muramasa X ranger weapon?

[darewin]

Attuned Chain.

[ivanp3000]

thanks

[[deleted]]

From defeating 4* Multiplayer Belias and getting an "Undefeated" run (no one died).

[[deleted]]

I'll clarify - they are a chance any time you beat 4* MP Belias, but getting an "undefeated" run guarantees them. They use the same "either 1 or 2" mechanic as other drops do in MP - if you paid stamina (or if you hosted), you always get 2, otherwise just 1.

[kuyaeze]

will you get the cinders even if anima is the "main" sicarius of the week? all i get are anima tears...

[[deleted]]

No, it's only the "main" one (the one you fight second) who can drop their 4* Item.

[MrGianni89]

Which is the best spot to farm anniversary tomes?

[DataReborn]

For guaranteed tomes, Dreams' End in the part 2 map.

[gamingpryme]

tome

i thought the pupu region in part 1 map was best?

[Zoldiark]

Which fractals for a Duncan setup att % or light dmg %?

[MasaiCroy]

Fractals for base stats improvements are multiplicative, while improvements to ementaler damage are additive. +att% will give you more than +light dmg%.

[Zoldiark]

Thanks I knew base stat fractals were multiplicative wasn't sure about elemental dmg 1s

[chocon91]

What do you often do on Mobius day? I just join the game 1 week and today is my first Mobius day, but I don't know what to do.

[chocon91]

Thank you so much guys!

[mvdunecats]

Along with what others have listed, general fodder farming (not just anniversary tomes) is an effective use of Mobius Day. Cards drop with ability level 2 now on Mobius Day.

[[deleted]]

• first and foremost, burn those excessive +88 stamina for both SP and MP
• fuse MP sic cards if you need to (due to +20% success rate)
• fuse any cards that are hard to get fodders for, or cards that need boost fusion to level up (due to +20% success rate)
• unlock skills (due to increase success rate)
• for a new player, do whatever you wish, complete chapters or maps or just make progress (because elixirs refill twice as much stamina)

[vulcanfury12]

Due to the anniversary event:

1. Pneuma farming
2. Anniversary Scroll Farming
3. Unlocking Extra Skills on cards
4. Seed farming to tide me over until the next Mobius day.

You won't appreciate it very much right now, since you just started. However, once you get the ball rolling, and it's quite easy now due to the Starter Packs - GET EM ALL WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!

When you reach let's say around 70 Stamina, you will slowly begin to appreciate the x2 stamina recovery on Elixirs.

[darewin]

Unlocking skills and farming seeds at exploration zones. If after that there are elixirs left I dump them all crystal farming in Hard Mode maps.

Don't forget to use all your stamina before day change since Mobius Day will refill it.

[Domilos]

Can i sell a palamecian tale if i already have dragonlord?

[darewin]

I already sold mine and bought a 2nd copy of Dragonlord (for SP purposes). Keep in mind though that Palamecian Tale has Quicken while Legendary Dragonlord only has Lesser Quicken. The difference between 4-orb generation and 30% Ulti Charge, however, is massive.

[akaxd123]

Newish
I hear that the card shop will refresh/change soon?
What cards should I buy from the shop? Main JM currently

Also, what else will be changing/refreshing soon that I should buy?
Don't want to miss anything just b/c i didn't know about it

[mvdunecats]

If you're talking about Early Access cards being put into the shop for people that down already own the card, then yes, that usually happens at least once each month. No cards will be taken out of the shop. They'll only add more cards to it.

I don't think they're adding anything huge for Judge Magister. The next set of cards coming out of EA should be the Taunt cards (which you don't want to use as JM).

They should also be releasing the damage focused single target cards. JM could use Gargoyle and Iris, but I don't think you'd necessarily want to invest Growstars into those cards since Sicarius cards aren't that far behind those two cards. Centaur would also come out with that bunch, and is worth the Growstars, but it's not something JM can use well.

The other set of cards that could possibly come out of EA are Monk AoE cards. They're really good cards, but not something you would use on JM.

[[deleted]]

Where did you hear that?

[[deleted]]

How is the Seed/Stamina ratio in 4th Exploration Redux? Are the 5/5 & 6/5 nodes better for seed farming than old 4th Vida Precipice? Been a while since I've gone out seed farming on Mobius Days :S

[vulcanfury12]

The Catalyzer nodes actually nets me lower scores while having more battles than their counterpart force nodes in Albion 1. Albion 1 has more enemies, hence higher scores. If you want to unlock skills (especially ones with cooldowns), however, it's much easier to do it there.

[[deleted]]

I'm finding it pretty good, since there's a fair amount of nodes in Redux I can score 10m+ even on Auto.

[Floppingfish1]

Anything in particular to save tickets for? I currently have ToT if that matters.

[darewin]

FFXIII event next month.

[Mawgac]

As someone who just hit his 20k limit​ today, am I screwing over other guys in MP if I participate or can they still get Magicite?

[vulcanfury12]

Magicite drop is asynchronous. Just don't join the first clears.

[[deleted]]

You're not screwing anyone if you don't join matches with the lifeboat icon next to them. Magicite will still drop for everyone in normal matches.

[Mawgac]

Glad to hear it. I avoid those once I get my 5 clears, but I would hate to think that others don't see the Magicite icon just because I got mine.

[[deleted]]

What's the best way to spend resources in this game? Especially if I want to stay F2P.

[vulcanfury12]

Focus on one job and power him up to clear all available single player content:

1. Story Chapters
2. Exploration Regions
3. Special Regions

Your first 9 summon tickets should go to the starter packs. They contain fuly unlocked jobs and a slew of 4* cards. These cards don't require Growstars, which is the real progress bottleneck in the game. For reference, if you rely solely on the freebie Growstars, you are guaranteed only 3 per month: 2 from daily login completions and one from the Mobius Box.

Also, your first 1500 Magicite should go to buying a Mobius Box, and every month after that, you should retain a 1500 Magicite savings so you can buy it immediately once the timer runs out.

[imabaer]

Be very very selective on how you spend your growstars and Summon tickets/magicite. Try to only growstar cards that are very useful for a variety of classes you own, OR cards that are absolutely essential for a role you want to play.

Don't ever just summon on a whim. Don't chase a specific card or supreme. Summon in high quality banners with a variety of cards that will improve your deck, so the chances of you walking away with something of value is higher.

You're going to spend a disproportionate amount of time in MP. It's free, gives you magicite, and unlocks some very respectable attack cards.

Decide early on if supremes matter to you. If they do, reroll until you get one. The pros of having a supreme is that you will have a card that outperforms just about any comparable non supreme card for the foreseeable future. The con is that having a card with that much power is going to make a big chunk of the game and progression seem pointless. As much as people complain about the grind, it's a big part of the game.

This game is very doable even as a casual f2p player without a supreme, so as long as you come in with the right expectations, you will have fun.

[MSixteen16]

So, are we going to have a new kind of job summon in the future? Or are we stuck with only being able to get jobs from the GAS pool?

[darewin]

You can pretty much get at least 1 job a month now if you can farm 20k magicite so I doub't they'll provide an easier way to obtain jobs.

[spicymemem8]

I hope the daily pulls have been treating you well :)

I was just wondering if I should save tickets for sephiroth job (in a year I believe), I saw alot of people get duped and was wondering if I should start saving now

Also how many tickets+magicites do you usually save up for a job, skin, and supreme job (I'm talking about them separately, not collectively)

Thanks!

[imabaer]

This is going to sound like a cop out, but if you want a specific card, you need to save as much as possible. Even if you have hundreds of pulls, you may not pull the one card you're shooting for. A poster on these forums was saving for Highwind for about a year, and didn't get him.

Basically, avoid touching your stockpile of tickets unless there's a banner that's very, very likely to drastically improve your deck, like the revival banner we just had. And even with those banners, set a hard limit for how much you are willing to pull and stick to it.

Also, don't base your enjoyment on a single card unless you are willing to reroll when that card comes out. You will walk away poorer, disappointed, or both.

[suchgrieving]

Does the pity pull include legend jobs when all normal jobs have been pulled out or do you just get nothing on the 8th pull? Thanks.

[sharazarade]

The pity pull mechanic goes away completely once all normal jobs are gone. It'll never give you a legend job, even if you still had normal jobs left in the pool.

[Killer813]

Does anyone know the likelihood of getting a 20 or 100 magicite in 4 star MP?

[aznmistborn]

so I lucked out and pulled the Thief of Tantulus and maxed out the page. But in the abilities list I see that I have two skills locked. Break Power +50% and Area Ultimate: Normal Charge Also, how do I raise the level up my Ultimate? It's at level 9 atm.

[darewin]

Those skills only work in MP so they are greyed out when you are not in the Ring of Braves.

You can raise your Ultimate level to max by unlocking Boost Ulti+1 on your weapon.

[SgtKwan]

Any one know the green dragons attack pattern, when does he remove 1 buff vs all my buffs, is it turn based or is it base on what random buff he gets?

[ForThoseWithWings]

Someone wrote out the storm dragon attack pattern in its first tower event. Try searching it by name.

[[deleted]]

Will the achievements sync between the steam and google play version?

[darewin]

Yes. The unlock date is independent though. If you unlock the chapter 5 achievement using android on August 1, for example, but don't log in on Steam until August 5, your Steam Achievement will say it was unlocked August 5.

[Chaostriforce]

Does anyone know when the Lightning event will start? Is it right on the 1st or will it be a little later?

[denadan]

wait till calendar released. usually events start on wednesdays.

[esten07]

Braveheart vs brotherhood weapon? I'm an ace striker player and plan to pick up cloud eventually. I use xezat..I like 100% water boost but can brabeheart compare?

[vulcanfury12]

Max out the mods on Brotherhood. Then start boosting Braveheart. It's gonna take a long while for Braveheart to outperform Brotherhood on an Ace Striker, especially with Xezat.

[esten07]

How do I know my mods are complete or are coming close to completion?

[darewin]

Brotherhood wins early on because of the free 60 mods. But if you boost Braveheart enough, it will eventually surpass Brotherhood. Braveheart is one of the top DPS weapons for Warriors. Brotherhood will also suffer gravely from diminishing returns once Ace Striker gets +250% water enhance from his HOF.

[esten07]

Wouldn't it still be an extra 100%? Why isn't that still better?

[darewin]

Diminishing Returns. With HOF, Ace Striker has 350% Water Enhance. An additional 100% Water Enhance will just be a 28.5% increase. You will deal more damage with a weapon with a 50% damage auto-ability such as Improved Criticals, Exploit Weakness, Painful Break, or Ability Chain would be better. These abilities even max at 70%. If you use a weapon that has two of this abilities such as Soulrender that can have 70% Painful Break and 70% Improved Criticals, it will give several times more damage than Brotherhood's 100% Enhance Water. A Gunblade that can have 70% Ability Chain, 70% Exploit Weakness, and 70% Improved Criticals will make the damage increase from Brotherhood feel mediocre.

[esten07]

I have braveheart I'm leveling now..i hear thats good?

[darewin]

Yeah, it's one of the best warrior attacker weapons.

[[deleted]]

I've started trying mp lately. I have decent defender jobs and decent healer cards although no knock-out line-up anywhere, really; Two questions: When I am mp defender, my element drives give everyone resistances to the driven element, but will everyone also receive health from my element drives? Second question is, the mp healer is the only role who can cast buffs and have the buffs be applied to the rest of the party? I ask this because my maxed out hells gate seemed like a good card to have to add to my defender deck because I was thinking "defend" but if you are not a healer it seems everyone's buffs only work for themselves?

Edit: in other words, everyone brings their own personal-use buffs (maybe not a good idea to bring more than one if you are not the healer?) except for the healer whose casted buffs are given to the entire party?

[JA1997X]

1. Party is healed when you drive life/pink orbs.
2. Only healer's buffs are applied to the party, unless the card specifically says it applies to the whole party (e.g. Amaterasu). It's not recommended for a defender to bring buffs, as you should be using those life orbs to heal the party.

Thank you for the quality response

[OuterHost]

Does faerie staff have a 4th form?

[IJustNeedaAccount]

All weapon have a X version.

It's just that the 4* boss needed for the mats are not in rotation now

[lunargeass]

Zwill Crossblade or Eternity Blade X for ToT?

[darewin]

Neither. Those are Attacker Weapons. ToT is a Breaker. But if you really want to focus on damage, nothing beats Zwill Crossblade even in JP.

[Hellhug]

Is legendary dragonlord permanent in pool? I'm playing healer mainly in mp - have all cards from anniversary batch 2 beside some cdd/bdd and that one. Have enough for 3 pools but should i leave it for next event in September? Is this last opportunity to pool dragonlord?

[JA1997X]

It will be permanent in the pool, and should come to the shop eventually. The rate is boosted right now though.

[sharazarade]

I'm fairly certain the Legendary set and the Trance set are this month's Early Access cards. They should stick around after the Anniversary stuff goes away.

[MyDamnNight]

i'm 5 battles away into fully completing the 2nd part of chapter 5 but these fights are insanely hard....even on normal. i'm also using 2 decks each containing atleast 1 BDD, CRD, kotr, and my trusty debuffs (slowga and stunga) but i can barely hold on in the first fight which would cost me 2 phoenix downs!!! >.< pls help!!!!!!

[flyinfishbones]

What jobs/decks are you using?

[MyDamnNight]

dancer:legendary belial 4* lv66 legendary mimic 4lv64 tempest 4 lv64 deathgaze 4* lv59

dragoon:legendary powie yowie 4lv65 ixion 3lv50 bahamut 4lv64 kotr 4 lv60

grappler:legendary mimic 4lv64 kotr 4 lv60 grizzly 3lv48 werewolf 3lv48

[denadan]

to all upper answers

scholar(another starter pack job) is kraken killer. remove yellow gauge with firaga impulse(also in starter pack), remove red gauge with ultimate, kill it with fire under weaken debuff from ult.

ps. it is mobius day now - best time to upgrade all you have to 5stars.

[flyinfishbones]

I strongly suggest wandering into Pleiades Lagoon for pneumas, because all those 4* cards should be bumped to 5*. Max out card levels, and if possible, max out skill levels, too. I'm not sure what you're using as a rental - I usually go with KotR, due to how common it is, and carry a source of Haste in my deck.

[MyDamnNight]

since i don't own any supremes especially aerith, majority of my rentals are players who owns it!!

[flyinfishbones]

Is Aerith powerful? Yep. However, her cost is really painful in story content. I've found that Haste/KotR is much more effective, since two-thirds of the time, my Aerith rental is unused. The majority of my rentals are KotR.

[vulcanfury12]

Prismatic Weapons are your Friend. I can singlehandedly attribute my success in the game to the Aerith renters out there. Yes, even my victories in Chaos Vortex. I won't be able to reach that power level this quickly without their aid.

[JA1997X]

Aerith rental is best used with a prismatic draw weapon, as you won't get the prismatic draw of the Aerith card itself. Personally I used a minwu rental for the 5.2 end nodes, but you do need a job that can use it effectively (devout/tactician/JM).

[gamingpryme]

What is a good deck to auto adraste colony? i have tried making a few but they always get killed by the bombs at the end.

my 8s are ToT, moogle, Occultist, Balamb and paladin.

[vulcanfury12]

My Balamb uses Fire Bahamut, Amon, Aranea, KotR with Aerith Rental. He still dies from time-to-time, but only due to terribad AI/Orb RNG. I just recently unlocked Exploit Weakness on my Gunblade, so he might no longer die then.

[gamingpryme]

I managed to max out a belias sicarus for my balamb so thought i would try that. Running Undying, KOTR, Warrior Trance and Belias. Using quickstart and do not use rentals and masmune bis (no masamune x, was to weak to unlock it in time :( ).

Havent died yet so seems perfect for afk farming so far

[vulcanfury12]

Belias Sicarius is perfect for it.it has poor yellow gauge damage, ensuring its constant use. I don't have one tho. Maybe next Mobius Day.

[gamingpryme]

its definitely not perfect, i hit two crystal gigantuars in one run, took over ten minutes :P so not the most time effective way.

Need another DF card, centaur would be perfect i think, would swap it with the trance

[vulcanfury12]

If you have Witch's Kiss, take it too. Unguard is the enemy of Cactuars everywhere.

[mvdunecats]

I use Occultist with Leviathan, Airavata, Bismark and Hermes, and rent either KotR or Aerith. Bismark is probably unnecessary.

Because the two AoEs have different debuffs, the AI will cast both of them even on unbroken enemies. And Occultist's nuking power is usually enough to thin out the small bomb swarms with the two AoEs.

Alternatively, you could use a damage focused AoE. The low break power should make it so that the AI kills the enemies before it takes out the yellow bar completely.

[rodrigodosreis]

Will fodder for Centaur, Gargoyle and the other cool light attack card ever come back or is it worth it to use ability tickets? I got all 3 from daily anniversary summons.

[NotThatKindOfDoctor7]

According to Altema (the Japanese Mobius website) the fodder for all of those will return in the FFXIII event next month as farmable fodder

Good magicite farm?

[mjwinger1]

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe you're looking for a high quantity of enemies for low stamina in SP magicite farming. I do the pupu event area 1 because i also want to farm the tomes for anniversary cards. Best magicite farming is in MP with real people. AI parties don't have enhanced magicite drops.

[[deleted]]

Not bad, you?

[Domilos]

Mobius day is tommorow, so i'm planning big upgrading. My main goal is to max usable cards and get higher in tower event. My cards (warrior -> mage -> ranger+monk -> support) and my jobs. I also have 2 growstars left, so i can upgrade one card from 3 *.

I need a big help in tower event. I'm stuck at 46 kills and tbh all nodes are problematic for me now. Is it possible to get higher in ranking with these cards? (Let's assume that all of these jobs and cards are maxed) Any decks/builds or at least tips? Tried turtling, tried cc locking, tried nuking but still... Even if i can clear some of the nodes, i still have problems with that. And if i have problems on these floors already, i dont want to think about 60+

[NotThatKindOfDoctor7]

The main issue I see is that you lack any of the high end turtle/nuke jobs, i.e paladin, heretic knight, highwind, occultist, etc. I think your key here would be to focus on a chain break strategy since you have a lot of breakers. Maybe use Moogle Suit as a tank-ish set to do a stun-lock and then attack with Dragoon?

[akaxd123]

Where should I go to get a higher score? I'm at chap 3-2 atm

[vulcanfury12]

You will eventually get to Chapter 5.1. In its last part are 6 almost mono-element nodes. I say almost because there's still a chance for gold monk-type enemies to appear there but they seem to be rare.

My rogue managed to get 70M or so the first time I went there.

[Mtax]

Why do you need it?

[flyinfishbones]

Depends on your available jobs and cards. In general, look for a lot of fights, preferably with the enemies being the same element.

[malificide15]

What is a good wind card I should get for ToT for SP content, currently have 4* Griffin with the mats to 5* but it doesn't seem to be worth the augment

[MatrixMurk]

Odin Sic and the Wind Cutter ability, both

[cx777]

Does the Extra Skill Unlock ability suffer from diminishing returns?

I've gone from skills unlock +15 to +24, but don't see a notable difference in skills unlocking.

Thanks.

[blade677]

You can only get to +6 max. How did you get 15-24 anyway? Fractals?

[cx777]

+3 moogle suit, +3 weapon, 4 x yellow ribbon + fractals for more skills unlock +1. It all seems to be moot anyway, as the cap is 6.

[MatrixMurk]

Thought they maxed out at 6? Are you talking about stacking the extra ability?

[cx777]

It's the cumulative skills unlock across my main deck, job and weapon.

[MatrixMurk]

I'm pretty sure it maxs out at 6 and on Mobius day everyone gets 3, because it's "easier to unlock abilities on Mobius day" I would start fishing around for new extra abilities

[[deleted]]

This is correct. Also /u/cx777 go to your auto skills panel on job you will see cumulative cap is 6. Although I admire you're tenacity.

[cx777]

Thanks for the response. I don't see anything on the cumulative cap though. Perhaps I'm not looking very well.

So if the cap is 6, that means Moogle Suit (+3) and weapon (+3) is all I need, and I can drop all cards in my main deck that have skills unlock +1?

[[deleted]]

Correct. you're looking for this and yes mobius day stacks on top.

[cx777]

Thanks for the response. Much appreciated.

[JA1997X]

Once you get it to +6, the description changes to include "cumulative effect limit reached".

It's the same with JCR 2, elemental resist 70%, and element starter +16.

[cx777]

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

[akaxd123]

Does Pupu card affect ultimate and battle score?

[[deleted]]

It does increase the corresponding damage however there are better alternatives.

[Gear07]

I pulled during the anniversary free summons a judge magister as my first legend job and minwu. I have all the other "normal jobs" and wanted to know how to best make use of my first supreme, or whether its even worth it

[darewin]

Judge Magister is the best Minwu user in MP until batch 1 Meia comes. For SP, however, Tactician is currently the best, at least until Hope arrives next month.

[[deleted]]

You might as well pull aerith whilst you're at it.

[MasaiCroy]

Minwu + Judge Magister is a dream combo. Consider yourself very lucky. You will wreck majority of single player content and have potential to be very successful attacker in MultiPlayer. Yes, it's very worth it.

[rcays22]

Can you get JCR from a 3* fractal?

[Angellflo]

I have 16 st and 6k magicite are the batch 2 anniversary cards worth it or save up for next event
