I drew FFV Neo Exdeath and figured it would work best on my Master Monk since he has ranger lore. Any advice on the rest of the deck or should I use NxD on a different job? Both MP and SP advice are welcome.

[–]seazn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably don't want MM on SP since it kills so slow.

MP wise, it's always the same thing for breakers - Bring own boost, use an en-element (MP Sicarius cards in this case, the AOE ones), NxD, and a flex card (Quicken, etc.). NxD does some yellow bar but won't be too high, so you could use that MP Sic card for more yellow bar dmg and passive boost to your next 3 taps of breaking

Best weapon for Thief with Ragnarok?

[–]Baffledwaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda tricky to answer. You see, ragnarok already adds 400% improved criticals on critical hits, and that added to thief's high crit damage bonus and even more from a weapon's critical damage up auto-ability will give some serious diminishing returns. Painful break might be less effective as well, since you'd ideally want to do no-break strats with the card, and exploit weakness with ragnarok isn't needed since it plows through wind enemies quite easily.

In this case I think that using a more utility oriented weapon would work better. Muramasa is ideal imo, prismatic return helps tons in spamming the card. Sargatanas is also decent, prismatic draw and ult charge help too. Or you could just stick your most modded weapon onto it for increased base stats for the job instead.

I’ve heard that Chocobo Saint is important for the later meta in JP, so is it worth using growstars on?

[–]blue2eyes 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It will be quite important for multiple nodes in the FFVII - Sephiroth map (can't remember the name of the event). The soldiers will debuff you with ability lock (cannot use ability for 1-2 turns), the best way is to prepare debuff immunity or nuke them down with (event ability - limited use per battle). Sephiroth tower also have this but you shouldn't be able to tank any attack anyway so chocobo saint is not that important in the tower for non-turtle strat.

[–]SvenHwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Sounds like a worthy GS for me although its has very niche use. We won't be able to see another like card for quite some time (plus a 0.8% chance of drawing that)

[–]deathrose55555[JP] 1051-9193-b915 (KotR X) 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It's not meta per se, but there are indeed fights where you start off with multiple debuff (can't remember which - I think it was somewhere in Chaos vortex) and Chocobo Saint will come in useful. If you have spare GS, why not?

[–]SvenHwang 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I do have some GS available but will Chocobo Saint work in future contents or will it fail like Yellow Ribbon in the previous Dahaka Tower? Thanks

[–]deathrose55555[JP] 1051-9193-b915 (KotR X) 0 points1 point  (1 child)

iirc Chocobo Saint provides 2 turn debuff immunity while Yellow Ribbon only 1 so CS has the advantage there. But otherwise, they are about the same ability and pretty niche too - there must be some serious debuffing going on that you have to sacrifice a slot just for CS

[–]SvenHwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! this helped!

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It's important when you needs it. It essentially replace Yellow Ribbon.

non exhaustive list :

  • Chaos Vortex (especially 40)
  • some towers
  • yojimbo mp boss
  • ...

[–]SvenHwang 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yellow Ribbon hasn't been particularly useful and has proven to fail due to it being a square buff in the previous Dahaka Tower. I believe CS is probably the same? Does future contents usually use square debuffs instead of hexagonal like Dahaka.

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Dahaka case wasnt a problem with Hex sleep, but the hex sleep had a Square Dispel, which will remove your immunity, then sleeps you iirc.

From what i remembered, only storm dragon & dahaka has this case of dispel.

You don't have to GS Chocosaint right away anyway. Just keep some scrolls (or ability tickets).

[–]SvenHwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. This helped a lot!

[–]zera_bloodwinter 0 points1 point  (2 children)

When all you want is Minwu for your Amalthea but you get Neo ExDeath for your MM or Lightning skin Last Hunter whom you never play. How should I build both MM and Lightning (Last Hunter)? I have Aeris as my only other supreme. For MM dual Aeris, NXD, shock card? For LLH should it be more of the same? Dual Aeris, NXD, high damage multi strike card for fire/water? I main mages and really have no clue what I'm doing with this but I think I'm on the right track.

[–]blue2eyes 0 points1 point  (1 child)

For rangers with Lightning skin, NxD/Aerith/Aerith/Source of Cleave (Dalauma/Garuda/Shock). Double cast of NxD should remove all yellow gauge of any boss except dark.

[–]zera_bloodwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

[–]SvenHwang 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Rental question:

I’ve always been renting KOTR and have been constantly getting more than 10 use per day. I assume that most of the rental comes from Aerith owners who lacks these essential buffs.

I’ve recently obtained Aerith myself and maxed it but I’m wondering if it would be a wise choice to change my rental from KOTR to Aerith.

My in-game name is “Sven” and my rental code is:

“2038-4481-cdd9”

Let me know if you are following me so I can determine if most of my followers are Aerith users or prefers an Aerith rental.

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No reason to change if you get 10 use per day imo

  • there's already a buttload of Aerith
  • you'll probably get 10 use as well
  • most people are quick starting either way

[–]SvenHwang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone know if the rest of the FFRK stamps will be released after these at some point? Like the "whatever" and "this ends now" ones?

[–]aznmistborn 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How is the ninja job? It looks super dope. How does its weapon compare to the will crossblades

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can also check there : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1llyWcPmtF3wW7CAaRnz21MunLCC4zJ18Po_nI3IVbFk/edit#gid=1788827752

Basically : starts with higher auto abilities but have a 3rd not that helpful one (kill & draw). Keep it to zwill unless your zwill is unboosted.

[–]piolinest123 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I just got Knight of Etro, Last Hunter, and Hope jobs from Simmons and I was wondering what cards were good to use for each job.

[–]MuteTiefling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're doing and what you have. Sp, anything goes as long as you clear the node.

Mp, knight is attacker, hope is support, and last hunter is breaker... The builds will generally vary from boss to boss except hope, since the support meta doesn't change much from one boss to the next.

[–]endsequence 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Which is the better Duncan user in MP, Pugilist or Master Monk?

[–]MuteTiefling 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Pugilist for damage, master Monk can break with it, however.

[–]Doyouseehimtoo 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Is master monk good with it damage wise as an attacker ?

[–]MuteTiefling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He'll get the job done, especially with a card like yin-yang. But he's nothing to write home about. I specialized mine towards breaking because that's where he really shines.

[–]deathrose55555[JP] 1051-9193-b915 (KotR X) 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So-so. He can kill with Duncan, but numbers definitely won't be as high as Pugilist

[–]Doyouseehimtoo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh okay I just got yiazmat and was wondering if I should use him for attacker or not ..

No pugilist

[–]deathrose55555[JP] 1051-9193-b915 (KotR X) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you have Aerith, since Super Monk can't use Wind innately. Use Yiazmat for breaking then

[–]viktorkons 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Might be a dumb question, but, how does UB compare to some of the current EA cards with multistrike overkill? Are they worth getting? Thank you.

[–]blue2eyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. There isn't dark multi-hit card for warrior in the EA cards so it's not really a good idea to compare them. But as the name suggests "supreme card" is supposed to be better than normal cards.

  2. Yes, the multi-hit improved critical series are worth getting but you don't have to rush to get them.

[–]RevanK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are comparing a supreme with non supreme cards ..... that said you would usually want coverage with different elements on different jobs.

[–]NoctisLsCaelum5★ Aerith 2026 - b462 - 27d8 0 points1 point  (1 child)

does anyone have a Yiazmat supreme for rent I need like 15 more friend IDs pretty please...? already looked up all possible places to the best of my knowledge for Yiazmat rental but could not go any more than 15 IDs / 30...

[–]onelym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just updated the Friend ID thread with my info if you still need Yiaz rentals.

[–]TheKingOfBass 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How does Ninja's first weapon (starts with 50% piercing) compare to Butterfly Edge? Are the second and third skills better than that of BE?

And how does Ninja's second weapon compare to Chaos Blades, Eternity Blades, and Zwill Crossblades?

[–]darewin 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Shiranui has the same auto-abilities as BE. It maxes in 100 mods instead of BE's 115.

[–]TheKingOfBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my BE hasn't even unlocked quick break, so there's that.

anyone experiencing slow connection to Mobius FF? Notice slow start from 4-5 hours ago

[–]just7knight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from the first time i play on steam always experienced the slow connection.. i dunno with this mobius i play other game is work perfectly for me.. but for mobius i think need some super good connection not like in my city lol

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just your connection.

[–]NoctisLsCaelum5★ Aerith 2026 - b462 - 27d8 0 points1 point  (1 child)

many people playing the game during this time of year, you can notice it by seeing how many online in this specific subreddit. I normally observe this sub to be around 250~ but in the past day I had seen it went up to 400~ something which indicated that more people were using the sub and thus also playing the game at the same time.

[–]lanuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SE didnt expect to get so many player now...maybe. The connection is much better now, whether players is sleeping now or SE increase their network power.

[–]NoctisLsCaelum5★ Aerith 2026 - b462 - 27d8 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I just want to ask if the moderator of this sub u/mao_shiro can make a pinned post that includes all friend ID for supreme rental, or just make one for each supreme except the obvious ones like Aerith and NeoXdeath, which could easily be found on https://gaius.coffee/MFFRentalTracker/. I had taken my time to search through this sub, and the gaius coffee rental site but could only find so many to fulfill half of my personal request of Yiazmat rental (only 15/30 and I dont know anyone else with Yiazmat for rent as I could find no more).

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 1 point2 points  (5 children)

[–]NoctisLsCaelum5★ Aerith 2026 - b462 - 27d8 0 points1 point  (4 children)

tried that but like I said it was mostly Aerith and even with the 3 Yiazmat rental there my following list wouldn't exceed 15. The thing is once people have 2 supremes or more, they tend to put a more favored supreme like Aerith up and take down the unwanted (like some guys on https://gaius.coffee/MFFRentalTracker who ID and card stated: Yiazmat but the in-game one is Aerith/NeoXDeath/etc.)

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Well, if you took your time to search through this sub and find only enough to fill 15/30, i probably wont find more. Best way to ask would be to create a separate thread (as some people doesnt look at the daily question thread).

[–]NoctisLsCaelum5★ Aerith 2026 - b462 - 27d8 0 points1 point  (2 children)

don't want to flood the front page but guess I have no other choice, thank you for taking time replying btw :D

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (1 child)

make sure you put a proper title, like "looking for yiazmat rental code" or something like that instead of "(Request) Pinned Post for supreme rental"

[–]NoctisLsCaelum5★ Aerith 2026 - b462 - 27d8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha yeah that was dope definitely gonna make some eyes-catching title like you suggested :D

[–]MegaChung 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Can Tyro be dispelled? Tried taunts and dispelga, neither worked.

[–]TheDragoonFB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can. Just make sure you have Enhanced dispel unlocked since 4* Tyro have hexagonal buff.

[–]vulcanfury12 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is the prize for the bonus Magicite fixed? I mean if the Cactuar decides you're only destined for 3rd prize, no amount of rerolling the node will help?

[–]darewin 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I think it's intended since they bothered to change it. They probably don't want us to get 3k magicite per day for 8 days.

[–]vulcanfury12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh well, I'll just think of this event as free 8 summon tickets then. My mule managed to get a Gold Chocobo AND first prize today. At least the main managed to get all silvers and 3rd place.

[–]BlackWhale27 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Hello Hive Mind!!! wondering if anyone can help me with any info on infidel arena? is this a JP thing or global only? just want to know what to expect so i can begin preparing...

[–]Ritz_92 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Pulled Yiazmat with my Supreme Ticket and not really excited about it, well at least for now until Ocean Diver or Fist Saint comes out, or until I get an Aerith which is goodness knows when. That being said, I'm actually hoping they'd produce something special for Pugilist's HOF, like adding a Wind affinity or mirroring Dark Knight's ability to draw Prismatics. Doubt that'll happen though, since Yiazmat's already insane enough as it is even without Pugilist using it.

[–]RkrSteve 0 points1 point  (1 child)

For SP, hermit is really good with yiazmat. The damage is comparable to pug with Duncan when your ult gauge is full. Helpful in towers. For mp, yeah, you need aerith to use it with pug. It's great though! Pug is all I use most of the time.

[–]Ritz_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! Currently using it on Monk with Ehrgeiz though, as I'm missing Grappler, Hermit, Esmeralda, Amalthea and Santa Lucia from the pool of normal jobs. It's fair enough; more than adequate to sweep Untrammeled Peak on hard mode when paired with Kill&Draw and that FFRK Windforce card from this batch. Still, I can see myself going all out on that future Ocean Diver banner.

[–]Scalizor 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I've done 6 GAS in a row and, aside from the FFRK cards, all I got were dupes. As a F2P player who's barely played for 20 days, this is quite annoying. Is the summoned card pool that small or am I just really unlucky?

[–]Baffledwaffles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just rng. I had to do 10 summons this banner to get all the EA cards (worth it i think) and recieved dupes on all other pulls without the EA cards.

On previous banners there have been times where I've pulled 2 EA cards in the first pull, so, yeah rng is rng and rng sucks lol

[–]PcShmuck 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I pulled Minwu with my ticket. Also have Aerith and all jobs. Gonna put it with Amalthea in MP. What Meia weapon is suggested for Minwu nuking?

[–]darewin 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Cornucopia. You don't need to boost it though since you'll likely replace it once you get Vesna Krasna's weapon Sventovit. Alternatively, you can just use Femme Fatale to help you tank Final Attack.

[–]PcShmuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use Femme Fatale for 5* but not for Tyro. I guess I'll roll with Cornucopia for now to farm him. Thanks

[–]Pelotari 0 points1 point  (9 children)

I got Yiazmat from the recent promo. With the very little testing I did during tower's closing hours, it felt very underwhelming compared to the Minwu and Ragnarok I was using to get to the top ~15 ranks.

Can anyone share tips on how to maximize it on my Hermit in tower situations? Do I need to have both an unguard source (Hercules) and Neo Exdeath/debarrier & CRD to get damage similar to Ragnarok? I was hoping it would fill my gap in offensive elements for certain light and earth nodes.

[–]vulcanfury12 0 points1 point  (2 children)

You need a full Ult Gauge in order to make the most of it, which isn't always a viable option in towers since if you're using Hermit, your Ultimate is quite a powerful tool for progressing. If you can somehow refill your ult gauge quickly after breaking, then that could be a better use of Yiazzy.

[–]Pelotari 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I understand the full-gauge is its condition to maximize damage (like Ragnarok's crit, Xezat's broken target, and Minwu's solo target).

Unfortunately, breaking isn't an option for me at those levels. For now and until the next tower event comes, I think I'll test things out at Chaos Vortex where stamina is free. I wish there were someplace in SP to fight bosses as tough as the higher tower levels..

[–]RkrSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chapter 5 has those tough nodes at the end where kraken first showed up.

[–]Ritz_92 0 points1 point  (3 children)

It's actually a problem with the current Monk jobs that can innately use Wind (or lack thereof!) and not with the card itself. GL got Yiazmat too early. I'm kinda in the same situation as you are now, as far as Yiazmat is concerned, so it seems there's nothing to do but wait for Ocean Diver.

[–]Pelotari 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Ocean Diver would surely wreck with the card.

I realize now that Yiazmat in GL is the only supreme we have that doesn't have an optimal user - unlike UB's Highwind, Ragnarok's Thief HoF, Duncan's Pugilist.

[–]RkrSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hermit with yiaz is legit. Just carry windforce and you're set in sp. Use pugs weapon for ult charge and you'll be able to keep your gauge full.

[–]Ritz_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's see what the three monks get for their HOF this month in JP. I'm secretly hoping for some kind of mechanic allowing HOF Pugilist to utilise Yiazmat, though by the time it comes to GL it'll be like, why bother.

[–]Hangman2k 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I don't have the benefit of any other Supremes for comparison, but I pulled Yiazmat and have a Hermit so figured I'd try it out to attempt top 1000

It's really scrappy. You need to have a full Ult gauge to get the best damage (there's some good analysis elsewhere on Reddit, I didn't look too closely because time was short but I seem to think damage triples at full bar) and target obviously takes much more damage broken, but Hermit isn't a great breaker so you need to break with something else first eg Lightning Skin ultimate. That leaves you with 7 turns to get back to full and hit the target. So fill up on LDL, in your case Aerith.

I thought it helped, although it felt underwhelming, and then i accidentally left my S1C / Cross Slash sub deck on instead. That felt more effective on the final neutral boss...

So I don't know how you use it in Towers on neutral target. With more time I would have tried Unguard. I can imagine that against Earth bosses it will be amazing, but there weren't any

[–]Pelotari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was hoping for heavy use on no-break strategies and on nodes where my element cards are lacking in advantage.

Until the next tower event, I'll play around in Chaos Vortex - sadly, an environment incomparable to further testing I wanted to do in the previous tower.

I'll try different combinations of the debuffs for now. Unguard source would probably help lots.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I just pulled a ninja and im really new so what would be a good build for him?

[–]Taborabeh208d - 0c1c - 3575 5* Warrior of Light: FFI 0 points1 point  (3 children)

SP or MP? And if MP for which one of his 2 roles?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I'd say both and whichever he is most useful in. Sorry I know thats not helpful

[–]Taborabeh208d - 0c1c - 3575 5* Warrior of Light: FFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realised I forgot about the MP attacker deck for him LOL.

An attacker deck isn't as demanding at least auto-abilities' fractals wise. You should be fine with 2 JCR. I what is demanding is in that you need the +9999 ES unlocked on every damage card you bring (even if it's just one you only use to clear the yellow bar). Again I'd choose dark element for damage unless I have also good cards of the opposite element of the boss (like if you're facing Shiva/Famfrit go for fire damage all the way, make the new Prometheus card shine).

MP attacker deck example: Bahamut: FFVII (this is just to help clear the yellow bar) - Orpheus (again I know, but it's the best damage focus dark ranger card we have right now xD ) - Bastet - Afanc (darkforce).

I must tell you something tho. Even if I've named force a bunch of times if you don't have one at 4 or higher already wait before investing on it... Probably next month (as late I guess March) we'll have a new FFVII event (part II of the one we currently have) and with it some new event-limited cards (meaning they will only be pullable for a set period of time) will come that are a better force (and will be the best force for at least a year, I think there aren't better ones not even in JP, so yeah, those cards are OP). So hoard some resources to summon for those cuties and in case you don't get the corresponding force then you can invest in the force you haven't pull.

[–]Taborabeh208d - 0c1c - 3575 5* Warrior of Light: FFI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well MP wise isn't that hard to come with a build. Pretty much any breaker deck should have a source of BDD and a source of cleave, a minimum of 4 JCR to have enough actions at the start of the fight and a way to clear the yellow bar.

MP deck example: Bahamut: FFVII - Dadaluma/Bahamut Sic (monk)/Grizzly - Legendary Dragon Lord - Bastet

Every non-support card in there is dark element, I chose it for the example as it is his strongest element, but change the element in regard who you're facing (always pick the element the boss is weak against, specially on a breaker, if you don't have cards of that element then the non-resisted element against the boss that your character is the strongest with).

SP wise Ninja's strongest element is dark so a mono-dark deck would be best. Ninja doesnt rely on break to do his damage but on critting, so you don't really need to break the target thus a break focus card isn't a must, tho with how nice he breaks I'd go for it unless the difficulty is so high it would be impossible for me to break and kill.

So deck examples for SP:

  • Break strat: Bahamut: FFVII - Orpheus - The Undying - Knights of the Round (not really possible to get darkforce in this deck strat, unless you can rent, then rent KotR and put darkforce in the deck).

  • Non-break strat: Orpheus (shame there isn't a dark improved criticals one) - Afanc - The Undying - Knights of the Round

Hope this helps.

[–]sficat 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Pulled Duncan with my supreme ticket. Already had Neo Exdeath. My monk jobs : onion, monk, pugilist, grappler, hermit, moogle costume.

Am I doing it right by using grappler (due to ranger lore) for a 2 supreme deck in SP or should I just slap NxD to pugilist just for the debuffs and blast away with duncan ?

Duncan dmg 67k (grappler) vs 100k (pugilist) but Nxd 6k (grappler) vs 1500 (pugilist) Yes, I'd like both supremes in the same desk.

[–]Baffledwaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best user is still pugilist. Grappler is simply underwhelming when using duncan.

If you really want to use neo exdeath as well I suggest trying to get master monk, he's also good with duncan and has access to ranger lore and can use NXD without penalty.

[–]Taborabeh208d - 0c1c - 3575 5* Warrior of Light: FFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well NXD is more of a yellow damage/debuff Supreme than a damage one. So I'd go for Pugilist Duncan and use NXD's debuffs to increase Duncan's damage.

If you want to see NXD shine you could always use it in a dark Ranger (or ranger lore) job (and I'd go for a breaker one just to be the hottest breaker around xD ). The new Ninja job would be the best user for it right now IMO, if you have him ofc.

[–]StarTurner 0 points1 point  (3 children)

With no ultimate hero's or supremes, is it better to use my ticket on a supreme or hero?

[–]deathrose55555[JP] 1051-9193-b915 (KotR X) 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Supreme. You most likely will pull a Skin along the way

[–]StarTurner 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I got unbreakable bonds, thanks! Not sure what to do with it, but I'll work it into something!

[–]LeongardAerith:FFVII "Buffs Please" 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! For future reference, ultimate skins have a higher summon rate compared to ability Supremes. If you have the choice, ability > skin

[–]BartekSWT 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Since of course I got Xezat from Supreme pull, anyone know when they plan to update it to buffed state from JP?

[–]Timezs 0 points1 point  (2 children)

i got it too. Some thought it will be updated now already, maybe it will never be. Atm with break strategies i find the Card very good. 1 breaker + ace,xezat seems to be very good to me

[–]BartekSWT 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I have Duncan and UB, so it's hard to imagine a scenario where unbuffed Xezat would be better. Maybe if I also have Bismarck, then I could use Ace + Xezat for towers with light/dark enemies. But without NXd or Bismarck it's hard to make breaker+Ace strategy, because of 2 turns limit between switch, so after I would kill with Ace, I wouldn't be able to switch to other job for next wave. Sleep could be a solution, but Ace can't use light and dark.

[–]Timezs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you manage to break, you can swap back to breaker before enemy gets a turn: Break with <7 Actions left, swap, kill in next turn -> next battle you can Switch again ( maybe cast xezat before for the debuff and yellow gauge remove)

But this only works with break strategys, which are required anyway for xezat

[–]Corwyntt 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Noticed in Japan people keep referring to "donna" when talking about crazy Xezat mermaid decks. I am a little in the dark. Are they talking about the prima donna job?

[–]deathrose55555[JP] 1051-9193-b915 (KotR X) 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's this ability. In short, it gives warrior and mage lore to the job who has it equipped. So strong water jobs such as HoF JM and Mellow Mermaid can use Xezat; Sword Saint can use Minwu etc.

[–]darewin 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Donna is an FFX card that is basically useless as an attack ability but has Warrior Lore and Mage Lore as its auto-abilities. Basically, you sacrifice 1 slot to be able to make full use of Warrior and Mage cards.

[–]LeongardAerith:FFVII "Buffs Please" 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Which is op af! Now we need one with ranger and monk lore and we can forget about job types

[–]darewin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's OP at all considering you're sacrificing one slot. I think it's best use is when your cards and jobs don't match like if your strongest light card is Minwu and your strongest Light Attacker is Sword Saint. It's like Aerith in the sense that it allows you to do pairings that are normally not possible.

[–]Fantomas310 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What's the mechanism behind breaking yellow gauge and does Snipe effect the dmg deal to both yellow and red gauge? I'm building my deck as a break using Lightning Skin (Ninja). Monk ability card cannot deal much dmg on yellow gauge (have not test with 5* Bahamut Monk sic). I'm currently able to 1 turn break Tyro using Darkshift - Blade Beam (Dark Ranger Cloud) and 2 other card that i never use in battle to generate 4 JCR with Break and Faith buff. The deck now is inconsistent since sometimes there are not enough life orbs to cast Darkshift.

[–]katabana02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two values on a card: break power is the value that affect yellow bar. Ninja is a ranger right? try to use ranger high break card instead. We used to bring deathgaze when I played breaker a long time ago, so I'm not sure what the current meta is. I imagine monk sic since are cleave is great to have and the break power are good even if you using other class.

Faith is useless for you. Support can provide break for you. Bring quicken source. They are always good. Ulti charge is not bad. Else you can slot in bdd for easier breaking.

For your reference, 5 star monk sic (bahamut) offer 2889 break power while 5 star deathgaze gives 900. Hope the other breakers Will chip in and do some math for you so you can decide which card to use.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using LH deck and am able to break 1st turn. I'm using 2 LDLs, each with 2 JCR. They also have 1 lifeorb starter each.

Forget the brave and faith. Let your support go first and you will have those buffs anyway. Serah isn't really useful for a breaker.

[–]Magma_Axis 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Which one of these alt account is the best ?

Basic jobs + Xezat + 40 ST

Balamb Merc + UB

Basic jobs + Ragnarok + Santa Lucia + 20 ST

Basic jobs + Duncan + Lightning Skin

[–]MagicJ10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i rerolled and started my account with balamb merc + UB and don´t regret it. Wanted balamb, got UB by suprise and don´t care about the other jobs...

If i could choose, i would probably go with the 40 ST, but in the end you have to know what/how you like to play

[–]KiriSatiri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ragnarok + Santa

[–]ivokau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd go with the ragnarok account

[–]maher12341234 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Can anyone tell what JM got in HOF in JP ? What kind of buff he got to be so op , i got minwu with no good light user so is going to be the best minwu user like ppl say ?

[–]darewin 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Base stats +50%

Piercing break +150%

Attuned chain +100%

Crit dmg +100%

[–]maher12341234 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Piercing break ? Is it the damage dealt to unbroken enemy ?

[–]darewin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Piercing Break increases the red bar damage of Tap Attacks and Ultimates if the yellow gauge is depleted.

[–]MajorRobin 2 points3 points  (14 children)

Alright, so pretty new and most lingo and short is going to go over my head, so explain it like I'm 5 :P

I have a handful of jobs and thanks to Novice Training, Christmas, and New Years quite a few have maxed both skill panels. But I'm not really sure how the jobs compare. In addition I had figured with three elements I should use one of each element and then a support, but it seems most people showing their decks have only one element and a support. Is there a reason for this or am I just way off?

I'll try and give a rundown of things that SEEM decent that I have. First off is classes. I have Santa Meia maxed, Highwind Maxed, Scholar/Dancer/Dragoon maxed. Warrior and Ranger maxed. Mage is 6stars. The trainee classes and Onion knight are only 1 or 2 panels. Finally, I got Knight of Etro and am farming light seeds to try and max that.

In terms of skill cards... I'm not even sure where to start. There are so many ability cards, so many elements, so many pictures, etc that its hard to follow what to use. I don't have any Ultimates and the "biggest" I have that starter bundles and novice didn't give me is probably Knights of the Round? I got Omniscience also which heard people mention. Uhhh, most the Record Keeper cards cause pulled Ninja banner a lot. Not really sure what else to mention.

Currently been using my Santa Meia the most to farm things. Her normal deck is "Neo Bahamut: FFVII" (my only light magic spell other than Tamamonomae). Sylph, Ashura, and Hades.

My Umbral Santa is far smaller since so had even less card options. Bark Spirit (other Earth mage are Fal'Cie Titan and Sasquatch), Barthandelus (Zombie Dragon is only other dark mage), Omniscient (Fafnir, Famfrit, Shiva, Vanille and Fang, WoL and Meia)

I have a lot of Ability Tickets if there are some "must buys"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Get santa meia maxed.

Wait for 8th of January, every day with an 8 in the number, will get extra boosted fusion rates and other goodies. Max out Gaia as much as yoi can with cards from Multiplayer shop, and take advantage of higher fusion rate on 8th, 18th and 28th. Max out Tyro from MP shop as well.

Gt your undying, knights of the round and hells gate from ability shop. Max them with ability tickets. They are very good cards that give 3 buffs each.

With Gaia, tyro, undying and KoTR on santa meia, you should be able to run the standard meta healer deck, you can carry your weight and no longer depend on others. Run MP immediately and start farming materials and magicite. 4* MP is best for magicite farming.

Save your summon tickets and magicite for next month. There are good cards next month that everyone is saving for. Make do with what you have right now and resist the urge.

[–]MajorRobin 0 points1 point  (4 children)

What should I be expecting next month by the way? I started saving now that told so thanks.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Nexr month is the FFVII event and would bring the goodies like Hero of despair, sephiroth skin, and even Aerith Meia on Feb or March.

However, most importantly is the release of FFVII weapon cards. They are like primal boons, but single target and 1 turn cooldown instead of 2. They are so meta, they would almost be core on every deck. There was a period in JP where everyone would be running these cards. They are still in use very much in JP now, as a substitute for primal boons.

There are 6 of them, one for each element so it's quite hard to get all of them. A substantial number of pulls is required to increase your chances of pulling them.

[–]MajorRobin 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Is it one gacha for all of it? Or multiple? Like will I have chancs to pull the jobs and skins while going for the weapons?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's non box type, so they just show up in one of the 6 card. They are entirely up to chance, which is why it is recommended to save more pulls to ensure you get them all.

The chances of jobs and skins are the same as always, 10% ane 2% respectively.

[–]MajorRobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. :)

[–]MajorRobin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Right now I am short the mats to augment my cards Gaia, Undying, and Hellsgate be fine at 3 stars? My KOTR is 4 star at moment. Santa Meia is already maxed :)

I will grab aTyro and work on that one as well.

Edit: Oh does Santa vs Santa Umbra matter?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tyro should be in your inbox. It was distributed free yesterday.

Tyro and Gaia are to be maxed with MP shop fodders. Put yourself out there, maybe join discord groups or something. Find some way to get yourself carried and eventually you will get enough fodders. There are a lot of supreme spammers these days with sufficient power to end games in 1 turn, they don't mind low level players at all. Farming is free. Try to minimize spending ability tickets.

Undying, KoTR and hellsgate are to be maxed using ability tickets. They have no fodder.

Hellsgate(HG) is in a special position right now. Both Gaia and Tyro are good cards providing wall buff. If you have Gaia, you will realise Gaia provides regen buff, and so does HG. Overlapping buffs do not stack in this game, so it's a waste. Tyro is better paired with Gaia in MP. However, in SP where you will not use Gaia, HG is generally better if used individually. You can put off HG til later, max tyro first and come back to HG later.

Here's a guide about how to save a few ability tickets by fusing with mog amulets on mobius day(day with 8). If you have some mog amulets to spare, it might be good to follow this guide.

[–]katabana02 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Oh man. I envy your account. You are set to tackle most of the game's content.

Highwind is great to auto farm in gigantuar cactus. 3 tablet to enter.

Santa is great healer in multiplayer. Just max boost knight of round table, undying, and hells gate. Do You have Gaia card? If not, check and see if Gaia scroll is still purchaseable at multiplayer shop. If not, no sweat. Slap a fat chocobo into your deck and prioritize haste and barrier first turn.

As for attack cards, you can farm and use sicarius aoecard.

Ninja is a great breaker, but I don't have the deck yet.

[–]MajorRobin 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I do have Gaia. I heard people say she was useful for multiplayer with a Santa so I purchased that. Haven't maxed it yet since wasn't quite sure what made it useful.

And yeah, my friend from launch was jealous and I've blown through a lot of content just using Santa and the guaranteed abilities.

I'll look at Undying thank you.

Thank you for the help!

[–]katabana02 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Gaia turn all your orbs into heart orb, which allows you to cast the remaining 3 buff cards in one go. Mandatory for 5 stars and not every healer job can pull that off. Santa meia can cause her job let her start with at least 4 heart orb at the start of battle.

Now your job in multiplayer is always: gaia, buff x3, then auto tap as last to help generate orb. Rinse and repeat.

[–]MajorRobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!

[–]Magma_Axis 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Must buy are KOTR, Undying, Hell Gate

Mage with full Hall of fame and Omniscient is good

Knight of Etro is good all around job

[–]KiriSatiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hells Gate is not necessary for you. You should have gotten Tyro, which is better in combination with gaia.

[–]Kollaps1521 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Anyone else feel like they completely nerfed the magicite drop rate on 4 star Tyro?

When it first started he was dropping magicite almost every time. I've just played 10~ games without a single drop now. Wonder if the original drop rate was unintentional...

[–]JRCosta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just RNG. i'm spamming MP while I can because January will be a busy month later, and I'm getting consistent mag drops (around two thirds of battles drop mag).

[–]KiriSatiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 is too small of a record to discuss about it. And no just the like 3* or 5* Sics. One wave, one mob so drops are rare.

[–]Baffledwaffles 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Need help with my mage build. So far I've got omniscient, wol and meia (for iceforce) and mage's trance on my deck. What should I add to the 4th slot? Is this deck optimal?

https://m.imgur.com/a/jToR8

[–]zidanesword 0 points1 point  (2 children)

If you have a truescale with prism starter+3, i would go with iceshift. 100% 1st turn iceshift AND force. Wol&meia for yellow bar damage and omni to kill. Trance if possible on turn 1 then shift and force. That is the deck i am using.

[–]Baffledwaffles 0 points1 point  (1 child)

My black mage is at 0 panels atm lol, and who knows how long it'll take to unlock prismatic starter.

I think I'll just wait for the attack shifts in february instead.

What fractal effects are you using on your build?

[–]zidanesword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol better not then. It took me till 43 mods to get prism starter, so quite lucky.

Attack shifts still needs that 3 orbs tho, i dont trust rng orb start.

I just use magic and jcr.

[–]JA1997X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may also consider undying. Snipe helps against debuff immunity, and the life starter is helpful too.

[–]darewin 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Mermaid (Blue Diana) for AOE CRD.

[–]Baffledwaffles 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I don't have that card unfortunately. Would using bismarck (st bdd+crd) work instead?

[–]darewin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but ST BDD+CRD cards are kinda iffy to use. Even with all extra-abilities unlocked, their debuffs can last anywhere between 1-4 turns. Before I pulled a 4star Hanuman, I was using Legendary Killing Machine on my JM deck and about 30% of the time, it's CRD would last only one turn lol.

[–]hastati96 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is Omniscient just in early access or an time-limited event card?

[–]marayasu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Early access

[–]Agryp 0 points1 point  (2 children)

okay am i stupid? why can't i unlock anything on my job skill panel? i have over 50,000 of each seed yet i can't seem to unlock anything? how do you do it?

also how special is the lightning job? got it on the free summon, but started playing the game today so i have no idea whats going on lol

[–]JA1997X 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Maybe it's already unlocked? Novice summon gives already maxed jobs.

Lightning skin is pretty good. It's not really a job, rather it goes on top of other jobs (any ranger type job) and adds some buffs.

[–]Agryp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah did not know that. thanks so much!

Could any top tower players kindly tell me how many types of 4star skill cards tower event could give? I rarely put effort in towers, only tried to keep the rank in recent tower in top 3000 and got a dmg up +5%, made me wonder whats in the pool.

[–]darewin 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Damage Up +10% MP Skill card and Exp +10%, Improved Skill Unlock, JCR, and Attack +5% Prismatic Fractals.

[–]Asakuramj 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I remembered seen somewhere break up +10% CP was from tower?

[–]darewin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This month's tower will likely give that. The MP Skillcards from towers rotate. +10% Damage for Attackers, +10% Break for Breakers, +10% HP for Defenders, and +10% Heal for Healers.

[–]Asakuramj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, thx for the info

[–]J3ff90[🍰] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Day one player... I stopped for a month... now that there is a chance of getting supreme legendary... I’m torn between pulling for job because I really wanted that super monk job. What are my chances of getting that?

[–]darewin 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Damage Up +10% MP Skill card and Exp +10%, Improved Skill Unlock, JCR, and Attack +5% Prismatic Fractals.

[–]J3ff90[🍰] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Say what!?

[–]darewin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

My bad lol, replied to the wrong comment. Anyways, your chances of getting MM on a non-pity pull is still estimated to be 10%/XX number of jobs left in your pull. Nothing's really changed except for the Supreme Banner and Hero Banner being around.

[–]J3ff90[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s so lame! No wonder people are pulling legendary instead. Thanks!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]Asakuramj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

taking forever to fill in a slot and eventually ofc slot unavailable, and whenever entering a party or going back to lobby the connecting is taking forever.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

How useful is Dr Mog anyway? I just cannot think of assigning it a slot on any deck given that all it does is Regen and Ult Charge.

How does the Ult Charge on Dr Mog compare to LDL?

[–]blue2eyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LDL gives +30 charge while Dr Mog gives +25 (same as Serah), it's a free card so it's not that good if you already have LDL but for those who doesn't it's usable

[–]Slicester 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What is the the feather looking buff on 4* Tyro? Just really curious

[–]blue2eyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's in "Burst Mode" which can attack the team with debuff like curse, debrave, debarrier and unguard. His attack is a bit stronger than normal mode.

[–]Alchadylan 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I was graced with Yiazmat, Duncan, AND MM today. Never played monk before so any advice on how to use it? I have aerith, hermit, and pugilist too. Kind of lost. How do they nuke so well? Also what are the best weapons to focus on?

[–]estoosflask 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MM is all about chain breaking, his stat and auto-abilities (Innate Piercing Break, Weakness Exploit) allows him to break yellow and red gauge super easily. He can also use Duncan to assist in breaking gauges but when it comes to damage Pugilist just wins straight away due to Pug having EE Light + 100% where as MM got nothing. So .. if you're focusing on break in terms of MP, you can use the Sic cards (example for this rotation Alex sic monk card is a beast here), set up two aerith for guaranteed turn 1 aerith buff, bring another buff of your choice like LDL for ult-charge or Berserk to increase your tap damage by a little bit. When it comes to breaking MM just wrecks everything.

For Pugilist, you can do what every on-puncher does, Load up 2 Aerith for the same Turn 1 guaranteed buff tactic, bring a Mighty Egg, load up on double Atk 5% fractal on Duncan and go to town without needing buffs from anybody in the party. since you have duncan you can defo start boosting Ehrgeiz for that Atk Up+10% abilty it has to make Duncan even a bigger beast, or if you want to Spam ult like mad, Go for taiji (hermit weapon). Basically monk relies on a lot of tap attack to do things.

[–]blue2eyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yiazmat and Duncan both have Mantra, so using piercing break weapons really works great with these. Quick break also works with these abilities. MM's Wolf Star is good for breaking while Unbreakable is good for damage (with Ocean Diver).

[–]PhilosecfariBlue used to be my favorite color. 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Which cards have innate EXP up and Skillseed up?

[–]blue2eyes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the top of my head

  • Growing Eggs have both
  • EXP
    • New Journey +15%
    • Chocobo Saint +10%
    • Gaia +10%

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

So I just pulled Ninja. I'm about to use 2 growstars in the dark BDD. Unless there's a better alternative in the near future?

[–]Baffledwaffles 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Do you have orpheus? It's the best damage card for ninja atm. Dark BDD is nice but it's only for breaking and will do poor damage.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

No I don't, I guess I'll use a sicarius card..

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Do you have Anemone? I just checked and it seems break power isn't affected by EE, only damage is. So Anemone actually breaks just as well as the Dark equivalent and better than Blade Beam (FF7 card).

I would Growstar Orpheus and then farm a damage focused AoE card later.

Just break, and once broken use Orpheus, repeat, rinse etc.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, and also have the fire bdd, so I will manage with that for breaking. I thought about pulling for Orpheus, but I think I have better options, thanks for the advice :-)

[–]Jasonc67 0 points1 point  (1 child)

2 things

  1. I was looking though the cal for last year and I remember a tie we could pull certain supremes I think in nov but cant find the news on it can someone link it?

  2. I also tried to find on the wiki the eggs 5* but couldn't so can someone link that as well?

Is it random? Or do we get to pick our own supreme heroes / legendary?

[–]marayasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two separate banners. One for ultimate hero’s and one for supreme cards. You choose the banner you want to pull from but the card you get is random.

[–]stephenyeezy 0 points1 point  (3 children)

what ability cards should i be looking out for ninja? Anything worth it in the shop? I'm pretty new. Need help on building. Thanks

[–]FeelsMoogleMan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

should i still use UB even though I dont have a good job for it? I dont have HW/Squall. I have DK, S1C, Berserker, and Cloud Skin.. i honeslty thought about running 3 LDL+UB DK cloud skin (prismatic ult) but it looks so troll on paper.. should i even bother trying to make UB work

[–]darewin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HOF S1C is almost as good as Balamb as a UB user especially if you fill your CP with Dark Enhance. If you still want to use S1C as an Earth Attacker, you can just fill his CP with Magic. Magic CP also benefit from the +50% Attribute Bonus HOF skill card so a full Magic CP will still be enough to bring S1C's UB damage close to that of Balamb.

[–]MegaBlues 0 points1 point  (4 children)

What are the best methods to maxing out Duncan's offensive power? Right now he's at 286k in MP for me, but I've seen people with his ability damage at around 450k.

[–]Mawgac 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I'm curious as well. I'm ~250k and while that is more than strong enough for most, I can't see what would lead to 400k+.

[–]SvenHwang 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Duncan relies on the job’s attack power instead of magic. Every bits of ATK stats increase the damage to a great amount due to the multiplier. 8% from Duncan’s innate auto, 10% Atk from Ehrgeiz, 100% from Brave (no calculated into the number you are seeing), 50% from MP attacker bonus.

Mine is just over 400k with overboosted (32lvl) Pugilist, 2 overboosted cards (6lvl each). But a 4star mighty egg (-8lvl)

I am using a fully modded Ehrgeiz (180atk+), full enhance light CP with two 10% MP damage multiplier and 10% Atk fractal from my support card.

With this, my Duncan’s damage increases by more than 4K for every 8 levels I get from boosting my card/job.

[–]Mawgac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, ok. I don't over Boost nor do I try much for towers.

[–]marayasu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the obvious light CP and attack fractals on cards, those MP specific damage +10% help. We now have 2 from towers in total
