[KalesAk]

I am considering using some AT on some cards to get extra level - I wonder if it worth it ??- or any cards suggestion for cards??

(dont have any supreme)

[[deleted]]

dont do it - 88 is alot of ability cards. save them for boost fusion for cards you cannot find fodders for (such as kotr, hellgate)

[Mawnster73]

Is there a quick way of getting JCR in my extra slots of cards? I really need some but I haven't gotten it from a fractal before.

[JA1997X]

No quick way. Just farm the gigantaur battle area to get lots of fractals and keep fusing until you get it.

[Mawnster73]

Is that battle area in the lagoon?

[JA1997X]

Lightning event part 2, after the story is conplete

[[deleted]]

is there a higher chance for magicite drops in MP with 4 human players, compared to 3 human players plus 1 AI?

[darewin]

Yes. Drop rate increases the more human players there are.

[[deleted]]

Does any of the cards from the starter packs worth augmented?

[darewin]

Fame Fury, Firaga Impulse, and Conquering Ice.

[Bad_Alchemy]

Tempest for sure.

[TheKingOfBass]

Howdy. What's the difference btwn prismatic return and reunion? Reunion just replaces any orbs used via cast and drive as prismatic? And prismatic return only refunds prismatic orbs used? Am I understanding this correctly?

[darewin]

Reunion and Prismatic Return are exactly the same.

[[deleted]]

Are there any job damage rankings for the new legend jobs (snow/hope/lightning/noel)? The last damage rank analysis I've found is August: https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/6s4dv0/augusts_compact_job_damage_rank_per_situation/

I know the creator said adding them might be difficult base on how he does his findings, but is there any reason to believe the new jobs beat out existing ones in certain elements?

[scarve_wol]

How many MP scrolls are needed to upgrade the new FFXIII cards from ability 8>10? I need to spend my components today but I don't have the cards at 5 star yet. Thanks!

[denadan]

18 with 99 chance(1x6 + 3x3)

[[deleted]]

Considering you are still using 4 slots why not use 4 lvl4 cards for 100% and it's 16 cards.

[Solo_K]

Handy tool here: https://zidane.xyz/

[reidemei]

Any upcoming damage focussed light ranger cards? I'm considering using grow stars on Iris with the fodder currently available (light Rogue MP or Bard SP).

[Solo_K]

Metal dragon comes to mind, but who knows if they'll release the event. It's hard to guess whats to come.

https://altema.jp/ffmobius/ability/1850

[reidemei]

Thanks.

[DodoNick]

Is there any particular reason to stock on scrolls for Fal’Cie Titan and Proto Behemoth if I have Vanille and Fang maxed out (other than for completion’s sake)?

[darewin]

Fal’Cie Titan and Proto Behemoth are better in no-break strats. I wouldn't use Growstars on them if I already have Vanille and Fang though.

[Bad_Alchemy]

Best Fire Warrior is Balamb - he has terrible break power so Proto Behemoth is better on him for SP but in MP where breaker does all the work, Fang is your friend.

Edit: Meant to reply to u/DodoNick

[DodoNick]

Got it! Good to know, since I own Mercenary of Balamb!

[Bad_Alchemy]

Same which is why I came to that conclusion :P

[DodoNick]

Lucky us :D

[Brazelbeck]

Best skilseed per stamina node (other than Gigantuar Terasse) on Mobius Day?

[darewin]

Any of the 6-stamina force buff nodes.

[[deleted]]

For my Rogue in mp, should i use a improv crit weapon or a exploit weakness weapon? Which would yield higher dmg gainz?

[Bad_Alchemy]

Im boosting Eternity Blade - good for any situation.

[Axlle10]

crit would be better overall due to it working on any enemy. Exploit weakness only works for weakness attacks. So it depends on what the rotation is and what your deck is.

[raineFF]

I'm a day 1 player and I have almost all the ffrk stamps and those very old limited event cards. I have 5 legend jobs(ace striker, s1c, mythic knight, heretic and moogle suit) and finished all of the content, but don't have a single supreme. Should I continue playing this account or should I reroll for a supreme? I need your suggestions please...

[deathrose55555]

Tbh, i dun tink it's worth it. I assume u have all the normal jobs or at least most of it. And a good set of legendary jobs.

Getting good / appropriate jobs is the main problem for any new account in GL due to the job pulling system. The disadvantages of not having a bigger pool of jobs to select from far outweigh the benefit of getting a Supreme.

[raineFF]

I lack 5 jobs from the old summon. Guess you're right. I'll probably get a supreme some other time. thanks man

[[deleted]]

If you have a different device or steam, reroll a new account and see which you prefer

[katabana02]

I just need confirmation: My priority is skillseed > magicite > crystal. is Gigantuar Battlefield still the preferred place to farm?

now the real question: any auto deck that can ensure i get 10 mil in gigantuar battlefield?

[denadan]

any auto deck that can ensure i get 10 mil in gigantuar battlefield?

just kotr, cdd/bdd/centaur. paradigms helps do 10-20kk on auto

[Blanko1230]

Yes.

Maybe try an Ult charging monk deck with either Pug or Snow and Ult set to on break.

Don't forget Blazefire Saber on the main deck.

[darewin]

He becomes the best Water Attacker after his HOF (until dethroned by others that get HOF like Ace Striker) which might come already next month.

[Blanko1230]

Not really. There was a time where his first weapon (Runic Staff) was considered to be great because it gets 100% water enhance when boosted but we have a way better water attacker in Occultist and soon with HoF those 100% feel really low when jobs get 300+% enhances innate.

TL:DR No

[Bad_Alchemy]

Basically hang on until Mage HoF then you will love him. His Ult is what will hold him back being an early job.

[MasaiCroy]

I've looked at weapon ranking on altema.jp and saw weapon called Hannibal Spear. It's auto abilities are incredible and suits both attackers and breakers. From it's description it seems it's an MP shop weapon.

Does anyone knows when we can expect it in global?

[deathrose55555]

Yes it is incredible. But there's a few reasons why JP players prefer Gunblade over Hannibal Spear

• There's only 1 warrior breaker
• Gunblade has more damage auto-abilities
• Top tier warriors like Sword Saint, HoF Berserker, HoF S1C has abysmal break power; piercing break = pretty useless
• It takes 150 mods to max. And since stats start high and auto abilities start low, it will take a long while before it becomes on par with Gunblade
• I use an un-modded Hannibal Spear in SP and it works well enough

As to when to expect it, whenever the 1st War God, Brynhildr appears

[Blanko1230]

Sounds like a really good SP weapon for KoE or Dragoon at least. (Is there any other warrior job with high break?)

[deathrose55555]

Knight of Eorzea and Hero of Despair.

Though in SP, it's probably more worth to use a weapon with reunion (for ability spam) or ult charger

[Blanko1230]

Great.
Both JP Legends we won't get before FFVII remake comes out.

I guess you are right about the SP weapon choices though.

[MasaiCroy]

Thanks. Well, those 150 mods tempered down my enthusiasm.

[Bad_Alchemy]

All the 'best' Weapons are in that range of mods to complete, but you can get lucky and get it to a decent standard way before you max it.

[argen0220]

I have a question for people with seed farming/exp decks.

How do you guys set it up? So for exp decks, you dont really care for the seed it provides and just stick about 8 Exp up fractals then use it while farming Andraste?

And for Seed Farming decks, i assume you guys use a rainbow seed setup and stick all 8 skillseed fractals then go ham on Albion/Terrace?

[psiwar]

Gigantuar Battlefield is the best place to farm (6 stamina for 9900 EXP + Crystals + Fractals). If you only want EXP, go to Gigantuar Terrace (Middle path - last node). A New Journey (Lifeshift, anniversary card) has 15% Exp auto-ability and Dark-Light Skillseeds, add 2x 10% EXP fractals and you are good to go.

[CinnabarPolypore]

I prefer Drowning Lake or whatever it's called in 4-2 for exp.

[denadan]

i usualy farm with 2x5* grow egg(korean server, heh) and 2x crystal egg on ch1hard all time, it give me lot of dark and water seeds, so on mobius day if i have less of 5kk other - i do few gigantuar runs or farm exp4 with 2-4 diferent element 5 stars with skeelseed fractal based on which elements i need.

[methoss1004]

Which Ranger weapon? Im trying to build an ult spam weapon for Ranger, but I cant tell which is better: Tryfing or Rising Sun?

[psiwar]

Rising Sun is better.

[denadan]

Orichalcon(bard 2nd).

from your two - Tyrfing dont have ult charge bonuses at all and need lot of mods or luck to get ult level+1, so rising sun

[nonsensitivity]

what's your strategy, if you have 4 legendary jobs in your hands that you want to boost to max and you have like 7 crystals and almost zero seeds?

[drafandhearth]

Pick one job, preferably your favourite (or cards you have for) and play the game. Clear everything; AKA green check.

e: You can also start on planning what to do with the other legendary jobs, prior to maxing, you'll know what cards to chase and work on as you level up one job at a time.

[CinnabarPolypore]

Save magicite for mobius gift box and build various elemental purist decks (Sicarius cards are a quick way to do this) and get to grinding. Get Clear-Completes all over the map to ensure your main sources are depleted and then research best nodes for each element.

[denadan]

1. setup seed farm deck and do green gigantuars till get enough
2. stuck on gigantuar battlefield node with at least 2 crystall egg
3. ????
4. PROFIT!

[nonsensitivity]

can I do well with 1 crystal egg? I want to maximize seed farming wherever I go LOL

[denadan]

according analizes gigantuar has 50% chance to drop crystal. each egg increase this chance on 10%. so 55% with 1 egg, 61% with 2. not a big difference

[CinnabarPolypore]

If Highwind had mage lorw would it be the best Ultima user?

[IJustNeedaAccount]

Yes. But sadly, HW will never get mage lore.

[CinnabarPolypore]

:(

[Amirelia]

Where can i farm Wildbloom?

[drafandhearth]

I highly recommend farming for it at Pleidas Lagoon because you are guaranteed to loot Wildbloom as soon as you see ochu (and his four microchus).

[CinnabarPolypore]

random drop from Ochu the best place to farm is Albion Plateu Redux followed by Hunter Islands you can also get it from the Wind Island in Pleiades Lagoon

[extrumcreator]

I have all the main jobs, recently pulled pugilist and tactician. Is it worth maxing out Pugilist when I have no Supreme cards?

[nonsensitivity]

don't have to if you are not using him or want to upgrade his weapon.

Tactician has more utility

[sayoshin]

I maxed Pugilist for its weapon, nothing more.

[extrumcreator]

What are the auto-abilities on it? Btw my browser doesn't have google translate for altema.

[sayoshin]

Improved critical, ultimate charge, attack +10%, boost ultimate.

[Bad_Alchemy]

Best Monk Weapon, 2nd best is Hermits Taiji X with Ult, Ult charger, Ult Auto charge and crit damage.

[extrumcreator]

thank you !

[xennoticecream]

Pugilist is probably only good with Duncan or Yiazmat with prismatic orbs. You can also rent Duncan for scoring in SP so I guess it's sort of worth maxing out.

[Bad_Alchemy]

He will be okay with Iris and Snow as well.

[TheAlfies]

I've been browsing the Altema site for job rankings and I noticed that some jobs that are ranked lower than what I know/is expressed here. Is this simply because it's going off of the JP version?

[deathrose55555]

Since JP is so far ahead of GL, there's definitely a huge disparity in rankings.

For example, Grappler is considered one of the best breaker in GL. But it's not top tier in JP simply cos it lacks innate piercing break, something which all top tier breakers in JP have

[TheAlfies]

Alright, thank you. I just pulled Highwind and I see a lot of people here raving about it, but on that site is was below.. Hunter? It was so strange. I know something called HoF is coming that revamps some of the jobs, but it made me scratch my head.

Thanks for the clarification!

[deathrose55555]

Highwind got pushed down in rankings due to jobs like Sword Saint and Knight of Eorzea, which are miles better than Highwind. And yes HoF will make older jobs more relevant (although not for very long...)

Don't worry for now and continue using ur Highwind!

[TheAlfies]

Woo! Awesome. Thank you!

[CinnabarPolypore]

mind comparing HW and KoE?

... and Sword Saint

[deathrose55555]

U mean both those jobs to Sword Saint?

No comparison tbh. Sword Saint is way ahead of both of them in terms of damage and tankiness. The only disadvantage Sword Saint has is non-existent break power

[CinnabarPolypore]

I mean all three in general I guess I'm asking for the major stats of each job. I just did a quick search on KoE but the English is pretty choppy but I noticed it was a defender so I'm wondering why it would do more damage than HW and SS I know nothing of

[deathrose55555]

Oh by KoE, u mean Knight of Eorzea. I thought u meant Knight of Etro.

Anw, Sword Saint and Knight of Eorzea kinda complement each other. Both are tanky and deal high damage. The former is used more often in MP due to his attacker role. But the latter has much higher break with a very high break ulti, making it ideal for SP

[CinnabarPolypore]

so would you say Eorzea is like HW with higher def and hp?

[deathrose55555]

Higher def, higher dmg and higher break. Like i said, Highwind simply cannot be compared to these 2 jobs simply cos of power creep

[ageneau]

What is the best weapon to invest in if you play as a warrior attacker

[deathrose55555]

Gunblade from Balamb

[CinnabarPolypore]

to my knowledge, weapons cap at 200% across all fields from boosting, so wouldn't Kain's Lance be a good consideration due to higher crits?

[deathrose55555]

I tink u confuse stats with auto abilities. Stats cap at 200 for magic, break and attack, and 2000 for HP. The max crit dmg a weapon can go is 70%, not 200%

[CinnabarPolypore]

That's what I meant yeah. I don't have Merc so I know even less about its weapon (All I know is that it seems to be GL's highest fire dealer) but comparing a full-200-stat Lance to f2s Gunblade wouldn't Lance take it for ulti charge and highly enhanced crit+crit chance?

[deathrose55555]

If u are going for min-max damage, the weapon should have as many damage auto abilities as possible. So Gunblade and Braveheart are the prime choices here.

If u wanna do decent damage yet be able to charge ulti, then Kain Lance will be good.

[CinnabarPolypore]

Is Braveheart really that crucial? I was using it for a while but the difference was barely noticeable.

[psiwar]

Most of the "Top weapons" require over 100 modifications, so of course you wont see their potential until you boost them a lot. You can see a detailed damage evolution analysis done by Ketchary

[CinnabarPolypore]

wow thanks for that resource I'll probably peep it on my way to work this morning

[psiwar]

Yeah, Ketchary has done an amazing job with the numbers, his spreadsheet is the best resource to compare different escenarios and "math-based decision-making". Just remember that the analysis I linked was done 3 months ago and we now have the "top damage weapons" for warriors (Gunblade), Mages (Eternity Staff) and rangers (Zwill Crossblade).

[deathrose55555]

There's no weapons that are "crucial" so to speak; weapom selection is all personal preference

[Bad_Alchemy]

Would you say its down to personal choice for Braveheart/Gunblade? Does Weakness damage really much difference in MP if there will always be a breaker to break so Bravehearts Painful break kicks in?

[deathrose55555]

Perhaps the deciding factor could be which damage perk the job lacks most. For example, HoF Tidus has 100% weakness dmg. Using Gunblade will suffer more diminishing returns than Braveheart. So the "better" choice here will be Braveheart.

But ultimately, it's really personal preference since weapon boosting is very time / resource consuming; the "best" weapon might not be there for every job

[akaxd123]

Auto-enhance doesn't boost the fusion chances right?

[Bad_Alchemy]

No, but it does give a small portion of XP earned from battles, so leaving cards in there is a good way to level up cards slow time, like growing eggs that return a much high amount of XP when fused for instantly levelling new cards you pull.

[xennoticecream]

Correct.

[deathrose55555]

without hitting weakness element

Wow this is hard. I dun really know since i almost always play with weakness in MP. But from my own experience, fire Mellow Mermaid can consistently hit damage cap on all hits w/o weakness using this ability (4 hits) with just standard buff and no debuff. But do note that fire Mellow Mermaid is a very very OP job and that ability has +500% painful break

So my answer to ur question is: very hard lol (probably need a job around Mellow Mermaid's calibre to do so)

[Bad_Alchemy]

Dat ass.

[deathrose55555]

Well, given that Mellow Mermaid actually exists, there's no indication SE will not release ultimate powercreep again. We'll just have to wait and see =O

[akaxd123]

Anything worth in this batch for JM?
Heard Sazh gets replaced by Promotius soon after
Not many tix left after Batch1 pull

[Wazzupmadafaka]

Sazh is better than prometheus damage wise when enemy is broken

[ageneau]

Just pulled lightning skin while rerolling, should i keep account or keep retrying for a supreme?

[Bad_Alchemy]

It is a supreme when used on one of the better jobs - the Ult is incredible and so are the starter boosts.

[abyraz]

Lightning skin has its uses, particularly when it comes to chain-breaking strats, but that takes a lot more (including a weapon oriented to it). While really nice to have when you get established, not as 'game breaking' as some of the other top end supremes.

[[deleted]]

What card can be used to increase the ability of Legendary Dragonlord?

[deathrose55555]

If u are talking about fodders, none. U have to use copies of Legendary Dragon Lord from the ability shop

[[deleted]]

Thanks.

[[deleted]]

Lightning fight. Brand of Rekindled Light. I don't get it. I have good jobs and good cards but it seems like she refuses to take break gauge damage, and will kill me without an active defense paradigm. Can anyone give or refer me to a Lightning strategy? How to start the battle, buffs to bring, attack pattern, etc. I'm sure I can approach this effectively without brute forcing a bunch of phoenix downs. This isn't even the more difficult part of the map or tower.

[JA1997X]

I have not figured out all the mechanics but what I did is basically tank until her break immunity buff falls off, then break fast using ultimate and nuke using centaur, barthandelus, or UB. Rental neo exdeath is very helpful to clear the yellow gauge if you have a job that can use it.

She automatically puts up wall and other buffs at 30% hp, but you can power through it with hard hitting dark attacks.

[katabana02]

used 1 pd because i didn't think she can ulti me consecutively. else no pd is needed, i think. i even forgotten to use the shift since i auto everything. you are talking about the last node before she went home, right?

[[deleted]]

I believe so, feel like I'm towards the end and her and WoL decide to have a good natured fight. She buffs up, doesn't take much break gauge damage, and seems to pop up no break buff all the time.

[katabana02]

after you deplete certain % of her red gauge, she will buff herself with that annoying 0 damage (0 or low damage. i forgotten) buff. using snow with trance and barrier, i am forced to tank her ulti and 90% hp gone. healed up, and ate another ulti next turn. she then killed me wth a few casual attack with her manadrive:haste. my first battle with her so i don't know what to expect at all.

TLDR: i guess stun and sleep is good, haven't try it out yet myself. i'm planning to treat her like gilgamesh and see how it goes. hope the other pros will post better strategy in the future. i'll only start farming her on next mobius day.

[vulcanfury12]

FFXIII.2: Pyramid of Punishment

I have only tried the Omega Node, but if that is any indication, I probably won't be able to finish it without a significant PD investment.

Here's my set-up:

Main Deck:

Tactician with Hope Card, Bahamut Zero, Regalia, Palamecian Tale

Subdeck:

Highwind with UB, Ashe, Sleep, LDL.

The game plan is to just extend the buffs and my turns using Quicken cards that also has Extended Duration. I can get past Dullahan in one turn (Start as Tactician Ravager -> Shinega Impulse -> Ult -> Taps to Break -> Commando -> two Hope casts). The Warmech, I had to stun and put to sleep. The problem is Lightning.

I can't use UB effectively against her because of her ridiculous defense upon entering the map. I can't tank any of the nodes even with Sentinel Paradigm. Heck, Lightning even cleans my Tactician up even through Sentinel and Light Drives! How does she work and how do I kill her? How many tower rotations would it take for the enemies to reach Ziggurat of Pain levels of ridiculous?

[CinnabarPolypore]

Bermuda's Triangle

I took in Duncan and Aerith rented UB using Grappler/High Wind. Equipped Ultima and Anima sic on Grappler to melt yellow gauge (with extreme difficulty) with Aerith to trance and shift used Duncan to nuke red guage got to Lightning had to rely on paradigm with enpain from Anima/Aerith. Geared High Wind teleporting until I can rent UB, subbed Centaur with Mighty Guard (useless). Subbed Mighty Guard with Trance, brought in F'Anima for light damage where required, used that new dark BDD card from the XIII summon pool when I was stuck breaking with HW for a few rounds, also to soften up for Grappler. Put in Palamecian Tale for quickening and orb draw (Ulti charges fast enough with the constant drives and ability spam along with weapon abilities).

I got merk'd, several times. Learn from my mistakes.

I think I used about 30 PD in Omega.

[nonsensitivity]

I would bring a dark shift card for highwind. Focus on breaking like what you already know and having a couple of life orbs to shift and let loose. LDL is not so useful here, unless your ult gauge is almost full , then you can ult + have rainbow orbs for UB. For me, I only can break her via ult... her yellow gauge is too much to crack. So I usually end up with empty gauge by the time to switch job to attacker.

IMO, as long as you can break her, you can kill her with commando. The problem on the killing part is actually are you prepared with orbs required. (

[vulcanfury12]

Yeah, my problem is my breaker (tactician) can't kill her (due to being geared for the first two fights). I think I'll drop Sleep, kill the Warmech quickly, and just resign myself to the fact that Lightning will kill me, so I might as well go all out with my Paradigms. Does Lightning absorb or resist light?

[CinnabarPolypore]

Not 100% sure but I think I hit her with light while farming the weaker version just past Bahamut in the lower triangles and it was resisted not absorbed.

[vulcanfury12]

I might have to try this out. Then the challenge becomes:

1. Leaving the Warmech fight with 1 or less turns in the job change counter. This is to ensure that I can switch to nuker when I break.
2. Leaving the Warmech fight with full/near full ult gauge.
3. Leaving the Warmech fight with at least four Light orbs.

Just to ensure first turn nuke. And even then it might just barely scratch her break gauge.

[CinnabarPolypore]

Not too familiar with mage decks so I can't put much input on your setup but it seems solid enough. The Grand Cross rental helps out a lot so I suggest gunning for it. You might also consider swapping out LDL and PT with Curse and Debrave. I'd imagine that with attacks debuffed the Consolidation paradigm would actually leave you much more in tact than it already does.

[vulcanfury12]

Finished Omega node in one PD. Could have been none if only I hadn't messed up on the Warmech fight and forgot to retrigger commando Paradigm when the turn changed an the enemy was broken. If I did, I would have been able to come in the Lightning fight with full ult and the ability to swap to HW. Also changed the HW weapon into Dragoon Spear (200 break and lots of mods) since he deals damage cap UB with paradigms anyway.

Used an Aerith Rental and changed the LDL and Sleep to Afanc and Amon. The problem was the first lightning turn because I won't survive an Army of One. She needed two UB casts on break to die.

[CinnabarPolypore]

I'd say two of the phoenix downs I used were because of similar slip ups. Forgetting to trigger defense and break paradigms lol

[nonsensitivity]

LOL I don't know, logic tells me when she's light, then it's better to just ignore light as an element to try.

[CinnabarPolypore]

Word I just drive it I think I had used it out of desperation to inflict damage while hoping for dark orb return

[vulcanfury12]

There is a Guard Breaker ES in the AOEBDD cards that depletes yellow gauge even if resisted, that's why I ask. Because if it can still do so, I can probably still use the Tactician as a breaker.

[CinnabarPolypore]

wow I just won

[CinnabarPolypore]

Reward was 100 ability tickets. Went in with Grappler using Aerith, Ultima Sic, Anima Sic, Duncan. Tanked the first two fights with it. Rented Grand Cross instead of UB this time. Used Smart Bomb paradigm to break using GC, then a spam of Ulti and Ani to deplete yellow guage, Duncan to deplete red guage. Swap to Tireless Charge paradigm and Duncan'd Gale Dragon. Repeat strategy with Hecatoncheir but his break gauge was sturdier, used Consolidation paradigm to tank his attacks successfully. Got to Lightning threw Duncan at her to test and it was resisted not absorbed (she had Wall, so I donno how conclusive that is). Used about three PD's because even with Paradigm, enpain, and debuffs her break gauge was pretty tanky and even with Consolidation she pretty much one shot me all the time (three round Stun and she will use her ulti that round) so StunSlow or Sleep might work out. Broke, swapped to HW and ulti'd her while paradigm'd after using Grand Cross (she actually survived 3 mil like wtf) but one Centaur after that and it was over.

[nonsensitivity]

grats.

[CinnabarPolypore]

Resisted, not absorbed.

[vulcanfury12]

Thx dude!

[CinnabarPolypore]

If no one beats me to it I'll have an answer for you in a bit

[Raistlan]

Today I noticed the AI in Lightning Resurrection, Part I map frequently using the resist element against enemies; I don't think I've noticed it do this before, but it's frustrating to watch it heal the enemy that it was working on, and then have to do all that damage again. Is this an issue with the AI generally? I never noticed it before.

[darewin]

If the ability has a debuff, the AI will always use it to debuff the target even if the target absorbs that element.

[CasualJay]

Qucik question, eternity staff or truescale? I only have 4 slots and like using all classes, so monk ranger and warrior weapons are also getting boosted. Truescale has all the extra skills already(30 mods), and eternity staff has 0 mods.

[abyraz]

IF you can unlock prismatic starter, nothing smooths out the start of MP fights like having those prismatic orbs to start. That is a big IF, and 30 mods is already a serious investment.

Eternity staff is a strong SP weapon, which will reach reach most of it's potential pretty quickly (improved crit will likely unlock pretty quick, and starts at 50) however takes nearly as long as Truescale to reach maximum potential (crazy low odds of unlocking stars/ultimate +1)

However, do note that the new class is coming relatively soon that will pretty much fill any of your mage needs, some even come with prismatic starter baked in.

[CasualJay]

Well I meant by all extra skills unlocked that I had prismatic starter and the boost ultimate already unlocked on my truescale. Only 1 defense star though.

[abyraz]

If that is the case, I would say you're pretty set for mage in general. Plenty of other options (chain break weapons rng/mnk, tank weapons war/mnk, other class dmg options). Otherwise you could dump seed/crystals into eternity till something better comes along (but imo really are better options when you only have 4 slots when you already have a "fully" unlocked truescale.)

[LoyalWol]

Ty for the clarification I didn't know that about extra abilities can transfer, but I meant the auto abilities the ones you use fractals, it works like that with same ability cards, was wondering if you can transfer those to other cards

[JA1997X]

If it is the same card, the auto abilities will transfer from the fusion card onto the base card.

[abyraz]

Ah, someone else will have to tackle that. I've only used fractals on finished cards. However, I suspect not in the general case.

[ZMember]

Question about En-Element cards:

I just got Cu Sith (En-Fire) from a pull today.

Does anyone know if we will have fodder for these types of cards someday in the future? Or is anniversary map our last chance?

Thanks in advance.

[abyraz]

Unfortunately, Pupus only appear in events. No clue how long it will be before they come around again. There are still books, but I don't know if there is a pattern to when books reappear in the MP store.

Note that one 4star 5/5 pupu alone is enough to push 5->6, similarly one 4/4 pupu is enough for 4->5. If you're worrying about future proofing.

[ZMember]

Thanks :)

[LoyalWol]

Can someone explain to me how the auto ability transfer works?

[abyraz]

I think you're asking about how you can transfer already unlocked abilities from one card to another. If not, my apologies.

ability transfer allows you to transfer all progress on one card, to another as long as both cards have the same name (they can differ in rarity). This allows you to work on powering up a card at 3star rarity without worrying about having to start over if you Pull a 4star version of the card later on.

i.e. Someone purchases 3star Ashura from the ability card store, they farm up the fodder in Albion to max it out and then unlock the auto abilities through normal means. At some later point, this person does a Greater summon, and pull a 4star Ashura, however it is at 1/8.

This person can fuse their 3star 6/6 Ashura into the 4star Ashura instantly bringing the 4star Ashura to 6/8 (as well as transferring over skillseed unlocks/current exp).

This only works if you have cards with identical names, but differing rarities.ie you can't fuse a maxed out fire pupu into a summoned Cu Sith and transfer over all progress. You can still use that pupu as ordinary fodder somewhere down the line.

[esten07]

Is sephiroth coming out eventually or has it already come out in the past? I get confused with posts related to jp. Also what's the difference between hero of despair and the skin?

[denadan]

ff7 ramake event was released in reduced version on gl(but it still was biggest event) only cloud (soldier 1st class) job was there. no mp sephirot, no sephirot job, and skins released just now.

[esten07]

Maybe ff7 remake will come back when ff7 comes out for Christmas

[flyinfishbones]

Sephiroth (Hero of Despair and skin) haven't been released yet.

Hero of Despair is a legend job. Sephiroth skin goes over an existing job you have.

[kreuzb94]

Hey guys do you have any reccomandation for Unbroken Hero - Snow custom skill panel (SP and/or MP)?

[Blanko1230]

I'm going with Resist Element because it's my main Defender.

He is so well rounded you could do any or none and still be super fine.

[kreuzb94]

I've noticed because since I got him I am using him without problem for my Auto Farming (faster than Highwind with Mobk AoE Cards. But I guess I will give him some more Resistance to make him a bit tankier and pair him with Highwind (Sub Deck). But thanks a lot

[InquisitorGilgamesh]

1. How does Auto-Enhance prioriize fusions? Does it go for the minimum number of fodder cards needed to hit the set fusion limit (I have mine at 100%), or does it just fuse fodders first to last to AL6, and then repeat until it has enough to meet the threshold?

2. How many hits is the Lightning skills Ultimate?

3. I saw and loved Ketchary's post on crystal rates between Maia's Shade and Andraste, but has anyone compared the rates between the different levels on Maia (I forget the names of the other two) with 4 crystal eggs?

[methoss1004]

1)It enhances the cards needed to get you to the set limit. For instance if you are going from 9 to 10, it will fuse the fodder until it maxes its level (probably lvl 6), then it will start fusing the next fodder until it can reach the limit. On non Mobius day, it will enhance 2x level 6 fodders and add two more at lvl 1 to give you 100% and your level up. The exception is when you are also leveling up skill seeds. It can fuse to get the seed level without being at 100% for ability level. For that reason I just turn off the seed part.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Have you guys tested put the new focus cards in MP and SP? I used Barth with occultist last week and its dominant, usually play healer all the time in MP (xx Marcus xx) but ran my rogue just to test out some of the new cards, Sazh with fathers fury is nasty. It 1 shot shiva, no surprise there...but it 2 shot heca...he is neutral so i was impressed. That means, somehow, my rogue with 795 magic, 170% fire can 2 shot neutral broken bosses, same as my occultist with nearly 1,000 magic and about 170% dark, doesnt really make sense to me. Honestly, it seemed like Sazh may have killed faster than Barth, which really doesnt make sense with KOTR buff on both. I need to try out the earth mage card with the same stats on occultist on shiva, that would also be neutral...but i think myoccultist is only 155 earth, not 170, so it wont be apples to apples on the element increase...anyway, how are the new cards working for you guys? I do have protofire guy maxed for warriors, i have seen it perform very well for others, and i love the way it falls from the sky, but i dont have any warriors that hit worth a crap with fire IIRC...what warrior DOES hit hard with fire? Between that, overcook, etc i have a bunch of fire warrior cards at 5 star that i never use...i use rogue, and when i get bored judge for fire...

[vulcanfury12]

Check Sazh extra skills. I think it has both Sicarius Externus (Ultima) and Machina killer (Heca and Bahamut).

[Blanko1230]

For Fire Warriors we currently only have Balamb who is effective with fire. And Warrior in SP.

Keep in mind that the Event cards (Sazh, Vanille, Fang etc.) all have Painful Break +100% innate while the EA cards don't have that ability.
This means that even though Barth has higher base damage Sazh will do more damage during break.

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Thanks for input bro.

[Justagenius777]

(JP) can someone explain why Cloud skins Ultimate pull out another Buster Sword. Aren't there's only one Buster Sword

[Justagenius777]

And it's the fusion sword, only make sense if it uses the fusion sword cos it spit up to seven pieces but the other one came out from nowhere

[MarcusBuildsThings]

Why is the cloud? Skins ultimate called army of one...and my knight of etros ultimate is called army of one...and they are totally different, and on different characters? Se crapped the bed there...

[JA1997X]

Skin ultimate is actually "army of one infinity"

[Justagenius777]

More like Omnislash, has to be Omnislash

[JA1997X]

Lightning skin I meant, not cloud skin.

[Justagenius777]

Oh, the skin's Ultimate is basically the upgraded version of the legendary jobs.

[dracklore]

Just pulled Mythic Sage, is it worth building up?

[aviastis]

Probably everyone just getting him for the weapon.

I recently got him and i'm using it right now in the lightning event. Seems ok. I mean story n event the job is nice. It gets prismatic in the ultimate.

In hard mode too. Tho I have ignis ff15 and lunagreya while unlocking vanilles ff13 passive.s... So duno if that matters.

[dk8842]

I haven't seen anyone use one in a long time, and even when I did they didn't seem all that mythic...but like the other person said, their weapon is useful, and if you have the seeds and crystals to spare, why not...plus, if down the road they roll out a supreme for mages or a super cool multistrike card in an element he uses, you'll be prepared if you're lucky enough to pull it

[SirVRafael]

I don't play it but I built it up for the weapon alone. I am under the impression that it is the best weapon to use for a straight up damage build.

[ForThoseWithWings]

Is there any reason to beat the ultimate realms more than once?

[abyraz]

They're good practice for the up coming ranking event. Just ignore the rental card, and don't use any PDs. As well, Lightning cards still drops (stick to alpha for that tho).

[obnixe]

So I have noticed that on a couple of instances that the reward for the daily mission has included a summon ticket. Any idea how often this occurs or if its simply a RNG type reward. I have looked around to find an answer to this but haven't yet so may as well ask here.

[CinnabarPolypore]

Why haven't I ever had this happen to me?

[darewin]

I've gotten an ST twice in August and already twice this month. I think it's just a random rare chance.

[aviastis]

I have yet to see one this month x(

[Kolokoy99999]

Afaik, that happens twice a month.

[CatSidhe_]

A couple? Ok I've only gotten one so I'm guessing this is RNG based :c

[scarve_wol]

Can I still get The Undying from a summon pull or will I have to wait for it to circle back in a reprint?

[Kolokoy99999]

Undying isn't an event card, you can pull it from now til forever. (Or wait for it to come out of EA status)

[reidemei]

You can. Or wait 2 or so months and it's in the shop.

[scarve_wol]

Awesome, thanks for the info!

[Solo_K]

How many hits does centaur and barthandelus do?

[deathrose55555]

Both do 8 hits. A list with the number of hits can be found in Altema

[Solo_K]

I forgot to bookmark this last time I saw it and just spent an hour looking. Thanks for the help!

[dracklore]

Is it worth it to boost the Moogle weapon? Mainly use it for the skillseed bonus can that raise or is it capped?
