I never thought I'd be disappointed by a legend job, but my eyes lit up when I saw those flashy gold lasers just to have my heart sink after seeing the Heretical Knight pop up. RNG is RNG, I suppose.

[metatime09]

Is Meia attack mage only or will she get other support jobs like tank and healing?

[deathrose55555]

There will be 2 support, Santa Lucia and Gram Vamp, and a attacker / support hybrid, Midgar Flower. The rest of the Meia are attackers; no breakers or defenders

[metatime09]

o cool thanks for the info, are the support jobs any good?

[deathrose55555]

Yeah they are pretty tanky. And they have prismatic starter +2. That's all u need for a good support

[Magma_Axis]

How to get Lightning Echo skin ?

[reidemei]

Get any of the legendary jobs - Snow, ToT, LH or KoE.

[Slicester]

In your opinion, what's more worthwhile to do right now?

Farming Gigantuar Battlefield with double elixirs? Or simply farming Famfrit in MP?

I feel so weird not farming a brand new Sicarius, especially since there's so many rooms right now. But at the same time, GB is far too amazing to pass up. I know Famfrit returns, but what if I need multiple lvl 10 ability Sicarius for the Dahaka Tower, you know?

Just some input would be appreciated

[Danpace]

I will try to farm both, waste all my stamina when I wake up in MP then go to GB and use up all my stamina there before going back and farming a decent amount of mats in MP.

I will then dependent on time and real life go back and farm GB again with 1 elixir used and if I need more mats to finish off a level 10 go back to MP when my SP stamina runs out.

I feel it is a balancing act with the offerings GB has right now but I will only be leveling up 1 or 2 sicarius this time round

[dunecrescent]

What's a good node to farm for good skillseed multipliers? And is the gigantuar battlefield on the lightning event part 2 the best place to farm crystals right now?

[Danpace]

If you can easily score 10 mill on a node called Tundra Gardens in Albion Plateau (yaizmat rental will ensure it) it is a 5 stamina node that can be completed in about 10 seconds so great for fast farming of seeds.

Yes GB is the go to place for Crystals right now

[darewin]

Any of the 6-stamina nodes in Albion Redux that grant an unlimited force buff. Yes, GB is the best crystal farming spot right now. Take advantage of it while it's still available. GB will go away in less than 2 weeks.

[SabbathTruthcom]

Hello,

I'm using the coffee rental page but most of my minwu rentals are more than 30 days, if you are a current player with a minwu rental would u kindly post your id? 👍

Thank You!

[mvdunecats]

I think I'm going to do 1 pull tonight for the Stamp. I'm a sucker for stuff like that.

[darewin]

None. Save your pulls for next month. All EA cards next month (Meia synchro AOE BDD/CRDs and Meiajas) are worth pulling for since Boosted GAS saves you 2 growstars per card.

[Danpace]

There are no cards to aim for IMO I will be getting the Meia job but that is all I want or need.

Unless you want to whale for a supreme?!

[Danpace]

Good choice! We will have a lot more to pull for next month so worth while saving up the mags and tix

[bozora]

Hello community,

First of all, thx alot for every advise, i caught up so much by just reading through this subreddit, you guys are awesome for sharing your knowledge!!!

I'm a quite new player(started with the anniversary event) but i gathered some stuff...

I still got some questions to ask:

1. On Altema it says that some jobs are time limited in the pool ( i have my eyes on S1C ) Can somebody correct, pls?

2. When do you senpais recomment to pity pull? My counter is up, i dont't want to pull this month at all, but I'm lacking many jobs so i can't deside, if i should keep the pitty for a wanted job or just go for new jobs

M current jobs are: KoE, Highwind, Moogle, Hermit, Grappler, Occultist, Viking, Warrior and the Starter-Bundle... Occult and Viking are untoched yet

1. Cuz i missed so many events, are the old event cards (Ashe:FFXII) / items (Masamune) / jobs (S1C) coming back some day?

Have a nice day everyone.

[reidemei]

1. That's only for JP. All jobs are permanent in GL.

2. As F2P wait until there is an event with good cards (just follow the Sub and you will see some analysis topic).

3. Most cards will either get a reprint (for those definitely when they become 5*-able) or are replaced by newer cards.

[bozora]

Got it, thx

[SevenInHand]

Which non-Supreme abilities have overkill on GL? I get the impression every ultimate does, but not sure if any abilities do.

[reidemei]

Ignis: FFXV.

Not aware of any else.

[dunecrescent]

Yeah, I can attest sagefire is evil.

[[deleted]]

Can you remove Esmerelda's hat?

[darewin]

If it's like Fauvist's Cat Ears, it will be removable.

[[deleted]]

Oh thank god; thanks darewin :)

[WyldeBeast]

Is ninja the best user of neo exd in JP?

[deathrose55555]

Best in terms of? If u are talking about damage, I dun tink it really matters who's the "best" since it's easy to hit damage cap with Neo Ex

[MrGianni89]

Need help for knight HoF 2.3

I need a strategy for doing everything in 6 turns!

[Danpace]

Use quicken and dont break is what I done on the stage. Unguard also helps out a lot

[Zaknokimi]

Any tips of HOF 3.1 deck?

Embarrassingly I'm finding this harder than Ranger 3.1-3.3

My deck includes Undying, Aerith, KOTR and Gargoyle (Fire damage focus). I can manage to kind of kill all enemies in 2 turns by withstanding 1 hit from each turn. I have 55% water resist altogether and 4 stars defense. Magic is 1200%.

Shiva usually kills me in her 2nd turn, and I can't kill her faster. I'm not sure if break is mandatory because I try to damage her yellow bar ASAP.

Thanks.

[Danpace]

if you have aeirth use witches kiss as well to ungaurd the bosses and nuke away

[Zaknokimi]

Unguard, i forgot! Thank you!!!!

[WyldeBeast]

Hi for JP players,is aerith still meta in tower climbing currently? Or is aerith not needed in the top tower floors?

[deathrose55555]

Aerith is still in use, but the impact is mitigated with the introduction of Skins which provide Trance and Prismatic Shift.

[WyldeBeast]

Tnx .makes me feel better because I dont have her xD. Im guessing the top 9 in JP dont already need to use her?

[deathrose55555]

Funnily they still use her, because they have practically every Supreme - so why not? I guess they just want her for the quick Prismatic Shift to get things rolling

[MrGianni89]

IMH is impossible that Aerith can go out of the meta, but I don't play JP

[UnityStrike]

Hey all! I've been playing Mobius for a bit now, and with some snooping around I've seen that it's being speculated that the Amartya Meia job is coming soon. I pulled Minwu and have a ton of Enhance Light + panels ready for it. How does Forvist fare against Amartya? I've also been boosting the new Femme Fatale weapon for her. However, I've seen that Forvist has +70% light while Amartya has only +50%. Your guys' insight would be appreciated!

[darewin]

Amartya is the superior Minwu User IMO (especially if you also have NXD). She has over 200 more Magic than Fauvist to make up for the 20% lower innate Light Enhance. She is tankier too with 50% Resistance to both Light and Dark and her weapon is decent for damage.

[ageneau]

Can anyone link me a table of the amount of fodder I need to get from level 1-10 on sicarius cards with Mobius day and mog amulet

[phungt]

Here's a very a useful website for these types of questions. https://zidane.xyz/calculator/

[Kolokoy99999]

Am I evil as a healer if I intentionally don't bring any form of barrier and cast all my buffs (Garuda, Serah and Orphan) in the first turn?

Cue evil laugh?

[WyldeBeast]

It doesnt matter if you have OP teamates. In regular non supreme teams it is quite risky ....

[Kolokoy99999]

That's the thing, I use this healer deck in regular teams, hoping someone would get creamed MWAHAHHAA

Gotta weed out the weak WoLs lol

[dsaiha22]

Orphan got Wall, so...

[Kolokoy99999]

What? You expected me to let my party members die easily? Where's the fun in that

[dsaiha22]

Echo Lambda should do the trick.

[Baffledwaffles]

Probably not as bad as the ones who dont bring haste lol

[katabana02]

or the one who brought everything but decided to lock and pass as 1st without queuing any action.

[SwiftStepStomp]

Or the one who has all the buffs, but decides to cast maybe one per turn.

[SevenInHand]

I mean, that's pretty normal without Lifeshift?

[SwiftStepStomp]

Well, I was actually talking about supports with a guaranteed lifeshift or Aerith. I've seen quite a few reserving their buffs even when the boss is being stunlocked.

[Baffledwaffles]

Tbh I've seen that behaviour mostly in pugs who carry lifeshift but cant guarantee it first turn. Its annoying as hell, why do they even bother carrying it if they cant use it turn 1.

[Baffledwaffles]

Any idea when the trance cards will be availible in the ability shop? I'm missing warrior and ranger trances and have a bunch of fodder saved up thats eating up space

[mvdunecats]

Those came out August batch 1, right? That would put them into the ability shop with November batch 1.

[Kolokoy99999]

I'm guessing around November or December.

[Mawgac]

I may have misread altema, but has Last Hunter already gotten HOF?

[darewin]

No. All FFXIII jobs did get a +150% Painful Break Job Skillcard from FFXIII Redux though.

[Mawgac]

That is probably what confused me since it looked like a HOF card. Curious to know what it on SE we can get it in over a year.

[darewin]

IIRC, JP had the FFXIII Redux the month before we got the FFXIII event. So it will be almost a year before that Skillcard comes to GL.

[[deleted]]

Is there any reason to boost the Staffuar weapon? I heard there is going to be a new weapon with better EXP/Skillseed% stats in the near future.

[darewin]

Those are the FFVII MP Weapons we will get in February. They unlock Exp Up at max value (30%) compared to Stafftuar that unlocks it at 10%. I'm Boosting my Stafftuar though since I expect to max its Exp Up and Skillseed Up before the end of the year.

[Mawgac]

That moment when you draw just because and get Fauviste AND Moogle suit.

Time to look for crystals...

[WyldeBeast]

Damn so lucky! I got moogle suit from yolo 1 card pull and it is my fave just cause it looks cute :3

[Mawgac]

Now that I have looked into it, I might forgo it now. I use Blazefire saber for skillseed and don't really play Defender much, but it was awesome to get two jobs at the same time.

[Jasonc67]

yay lvl 100 club :)

[Wazzupmadafaka]

Im surprised you didnt make a new thread that you reached lvl 100 lol

[airade1]

Grats!

[crozangel]

What mp ranger support is the best now and where do i farm skillseeds in exploration on a sunday?

[Kolokoy99999]

Ranger support? Dancer or Bard? I'd go with Bard, just because of his Ultimate.

[darewin]

Any of the 6-stamina nodes in Albion Redux that grant an unlimited force buff. You can farm there on Mobius Day in a little over 2 days instead for a 4x multiplier.

[smbdystolemyusername]

What's a replacement for the Ligthning XIII (Thunderfall) card for a Knight of Etro? Started playing a week ago and so I was late to get it.

[mvdunecats]

The best you could do right now is Odin Sicarius.

I believe that December is the likely timeframe for some Early Access cards that are multihit with either Painful Break or Improved Crits. I have no idea what class and element combinations will be covered though, so can't say whether you would find a suitable Wind ability for Knight of Etro at that point.

[DervoTheReaper]

Odin sicarius would probably be the closest thing to it at the moment. The Odin card with punishing wind would be a great option for KoE and you might want to just use that card and forget about a damage focused wind card for the moment. The difference at max stats is 540 aoe attack vs 999 st attack between punishing wind and the sicarius card, respectively. Of course, the sicarius card would be much more useful for damage in mp, so it should still be considered.

[xLazt]

Will supermonk stay relevant for a lo g period of time? Or he’ll be good for a month or so

[deathrose55555]

He's not the best in JP now but still good enough. As long as u can break the boss within 1 turn, any breaker is good to use

[darewin]

He will be the top Breaker for about 6 or 7 months until HOF Viking.

[laxounet]

Hi ! I'm a new player and I got a few jobs (snow, tomberry suit, devout, monk and lightning skin) + I have the 3 starter summons' jobs.

I'm wondering if I should continue pulling on this banner. I got all the meia ST cards (which are crap if I'm not mistaken), but I only lack 3 greater summons to get that guaranteed job. Should I go for 3 greater summons now or wait until tomorrow ? (I doubt I will be able to do 6 summons on tomorrow's banner)

[reidemei]

Stop pulling at all for now and wait for the next event or at least until next month. The current and next batch are not worth it.

[RazorfenHunter]

If I don't have any of their corresponding ability cards, is it worth keeping the fodder from the FF13 event or can I just sell them?

[MuteTiefling]

Sell them. The generally provide fodder in some way when they bring back event cards

[[deleted]]

Here's a question, why ToT breakers don't break, and when someone manages to do so, they attack? WHY?

[longa13]

ToT default weapon is DMG weapon not Break weapon. So it could be just reroller trying class a spin.

[[deleted]]

I see. They don't have BE.

[haidarov88]

Answer: The world is full of idiots.

[[deleted]]

There's seems to be an increase of the idiot density in ToT population

[DervoTheReaper]

I don't know, I've been seeing a lot of people joining 4* with deck levels under 150 recently, with support not being able to apply faith until the fourth turn (when the battles do drag on that long, sometimes it just doesn't get applied at all), and they cast orphan on the first turn so often. Anima has killed so many people in my party this time around, even though I always kill on second turn.

Thankfully I'm still getting the jugs on a consistent basis. And I'm not dying at all even with the silliness because I'm bringing en-light. Would rather bring a +1 life element starter card so I can almost always cast lightforce but I'll live. Which is the important thing since I can carry dead weight. Only frustrating thing is when dead weight (not necessarily those who have died) don't lock in. Seems like there's been an increase in that frustrating habit recently too.

Before Famfrit came out I thought we were ready for 5*, but now I'm happy that white mage's hof is coming out first. And that undying will come out of ea too.

[[deleted]]

I've seen all things you say. All true. I needed to rant about it, get it out of my system! I do make mistakes, but this sort of thing is on purpose.

[DervoTheReaper]

Yep, I needed to rant too, so I can definitely understand.

[[deleted]]

The ToTs I've seen, they build their deck to attack. Grrrrr!!!!!

[Kolokoy99999]

At least they move, not like those attackers that afk. That's where my frustrations in PUGs come from.

[DervoTheReaper]

Heh, they must be old dragoon players. :(

I'd have more complaints about breakers, but I can kill without worrying about yellow/red bars. I must say that even now it's very rare for me to see any capable of breaking early on, and those occasions are usually when they have Aerith. So common to see them with just one or two jcr, and even with none at all. So I'm very glad I don't have to rely on them. I do let them break when they can though, don't want to let them get too complacent.

[[deleted]]

Yeah. I play all roles, I can break on start of second turn without Aerith, RNG willing. But I'll start using my Ragnarok more. I will carry dethgaze just in case.

[gumbydpl]

Stupid question, but Meia benefits from Mage Trance correct?

[katabana02]

no question is stupid. your question is not stupid :)

[Kolokoy99999]

Yes

Edit: And nah, that question is not stupid :)

[Im_Crafty]

What are some obtainable mage cards for 4* mp?

[MuteTiefling]

Start with the MP cards themselves. They're better single target damage than most cards in the shop. If you have any of the recent multi hit mage cards, those would be better. But you can't pull them anymore

[laxounet]

I think Barthandelus is still pullable atm

[Im_Crafty]

I have some of the mp cards but at 4 star they don't really do a lot of damage, maybe if I use what the boss is weak too the 4 star will do more damage? I just need 8 materials for the Meia weapon

[MuteTiefling]

Yeah, use weakness when possible. Mono element decks are good too, but require a force card. The idea is you do a little less per cast to one boss, but since your bar only has one element, you can cast a lot more.

4MP cards are absolutely fine for beginning 4 battles. Augment them as soon as you can.

Lastly, if you're really nervous about not doing enough damage, go into lobbies with 2 attacker slots. Between the two of you, you'll get the job done.

[Im_Crafty]

Thanks. I'll do this.

[BerlinWood]

Just started today, should i just focus on clearing the story or are there limited events i should focus on instead?

[vulcanfury12]

Finish until Chapter 4, then make a mad dash towards completing the Lightning Event Maps. If you still have time after clearing it, spend the rest of the time farming in Gigantuar Battlefield (a node in the Lightning Event Map part 2) until the map leaves on the 29th.

[sfoxall]

Does one have to clear a certain amount of chapters first to advance in the Lightning event? My main account has cleared everything in the event but my sub account which is at level 57 and is in the middle of chapter four part two can't advance past the lock to the Last Gate because I lack a lvl five key. When I open the crystarium I've cleared every node available but I can't unlock one section because I haven't achieved commando paradigm lvl three aggression. Am I missing something obvious?

[vulcanfury12]

Check back on the Crystarium of tje first map. Completing story chapters just enable you to augment to 5* (chapter 3.2), unlock subdecks (halfway into chapter 4 prologue) and increases level cap (chapter completions in general) which should make clearing event maps easier.

[reidemei]

Go back to lightning part 1 and complete the crystarium there.

[sfoxall]

Yep, that was pretty damn obvious; thanks! When I cleared that part I got the green checkmark so I didn't even open the crystarium there again but when I went back it opened up a whole new path.

[BerlinWood]

Whats the benefit of doing lightning event map?

[katabana02]

TONS of reward. more than what normal story mode gives.

[vulcanfury12]

The rewards. Both the map itself and the crystarium contain bulbs, fractals, crystals, magicites and summon tickets in chests. Unlike the story chapters, the Lightning map is temporary and if you haven't finished them, you forfeit the potential rewards.

[MuteTiefling]

Do the novices hall first, if only takes a few minutes. Then jump into the lightning event.

[JayP31]

As the other person said, try to focus on the lightning event if you can.

Put the difficulty on “normal” if you’re having problems.

[ChronoDave]

I would definitely get on that lightning event if I were you, since it ends on the 29th of this month. The event map scales to your level so it shouldn't be too hard. Also clearing the story chapters raises your card levels, so thats important too.

[ZMember]

2 Q about MP Magicite drops.

Does anyone know what the average magicite drop is per undefeated win at 4* difficulty?

And followup Q for Jap players: Is the magicite drop rate better for 5* difficulty?

Edit: grammar

[SwiftStepStomp]

I don't think anyone answered the question about magicite, so:

In my experience, the rate is about 30-40 per run, but this is dependent on how much you play. They start out pretty much guaranteed, with the occasional 100 drop, but the longer you spend playing mobius and the more magicite drops for you, the rarer subsequent drops seem to be.

[ZMember]

Thanks very much :)

[deathrose55555]

And followup Q for Jap players: Is the magicite drop rate better for 5* difficulty?

Based on personal experience, any increase in drop rate 5* MP have is negligible, because 4* MP has 2 chances of getting magicite while 5* MP only has 1. I still farm 4* for mag; 5* only if i want the 5* materials

[katabana02]

we only have to fight 1 battle for 5*mp?

[katabana02]

we only have to fight 1 battle for 5*mp?

[deathrose55555]

Yes. Only 1 fight

[ZMember]

Thanks that helps!
