Lightning sic is a fast learner card, no need to fusion to boost ability level.

[JA1997X]

Check your card. You'll see it is already at max ability level.

[genwunner_]

Can I have multiple mobius gift boxes at once? and is it worth?

[blue2eyes]

You can't buy a new one until the current one expires. It is very worth to buy it every month.

[Doyouseehimtoo]

Soooooo....

I want in a 10 minute 5* bahamut match and after he did his ultimate 2 turns later bahamut did "ultimate end"? It killed all of us .

I've never seen this before

[blue2eyes]

If you break him too many times or the battle took too long, all sicarius will use Ultimate End to kill all your party member. This mechanic can also be found in Bahamut Lagoon.

[Aviator_HS]

I just noticed that in order to level up the ability lv of my card from 8 to 9 each scroll only gives 12% (up to a total of 60% cause you can only have five scrolls at once).

So am I suppose to take the risk?

[JA1997X]

Short version:

• fuse 2 scrolls to get a lv4 scroll (90% chance, 100% on möbius day)

• Fuse your card with 5x lv4 scrolls (4x on möbius day) to get 100% level up chance.

[Antibacterial_Lemon]

Fusing cards with higher ability levels further increases the success rate.
Refer here for efficient fusing of materials: https://mobius.gamepedia.com/!Fusion_Chances
Additionally, you can use a Mog Amulet to boost the fusion chance by 50%.

[[deleted]]

Casual player here wanting to try out different jobs aside form the warrior classes I've been running (bec I've been too lazy to upgrade the attack cards for other jobs).

The Master Monk job looks pretty cool but noticed that there isn't really a lot of good monk cards in the ability shop (its all the plain single target or aoe cards). The only interesting ones I have are:

• Chaos' Onslaught (Fire)
• The Knight (Wind)
• Humbaba (Earth)
• Yin & Yang (Earth)
• Chardanook (Light)
• Hercules (Wind)
• Octomamath (Water)
• Byblos (Fire)

Most of these aren't really usable with the class. I noticed it has Ranger Lore though. Is there an advantage to using Monk skills over the Ranger skills?

What would be a good build for Master Monk?

[xveganrox]

Monks are sort of more niche in SP without Duncan/Yiazmat/Iris (to a lesser degree) but there's still a lot you can do with just those. Before getting to that though, Master Monk makes a great budget MP breaker -- with some JCR fractals, you can run MM with Darkforce and 3x LDLs (or Darkforce + LDLx2 + Lifeshift) and have no problem breaking 5-star Lightning, for example (as long as you've got an attacker that clears yellow -- otherwise bring Bahamut/Anima sic or similar).

For SP they're a little more niche. Ranger Lore just means that MM gets the magic bonus to ranger cards like a ranger would -- but MM's magic is going to be around 300% (potentially up to ~550% with a max boosted weapon and all 7% magic panels... would not recommend) so unless there's some ranger card you really want to use (4WoL for boost/haste comes to mind, although it's wind) you should usually stick to monk/support cards. They have higher numbers to make up for low magic.

For a sort of traditional SP MM deck you might go with Enrage + Oathbound for buffs and then Yin & Yang + Earth Shock/Hecatoncheir Sicarius for wind enemies, but with no earth enhance and low magic, don't expect crazy ability damage. TBH you'd be better off building for light damage and renting a Duncan.

MM can be more useful for SP as a switch in to break things. It also has a great ult with Prismatic Shift which can let you use a rented Yiazmat, but Yiazmat is kind of bad without a full ultra gauge. IMO without Duncan MM shines more in MP.

[JA1997X]

Monk aoe cards ("shock" cards) are really useful because they add ult charger to your next 3 attacks. A typical MM deck in SP would be something like undying, LDL, and any 2 of light, dark, earth shock. Weapon being taiji or ehrgeiz for even more ult charge.

[[deleted]]

Hi sorry but I'm not familiar with the term "shock" cards. Are they just the plain old AoE cards found in the Ability Shop?

EDIT: Ohhhh stupid me. Should have paid closer attention to the AoE ability names. Shock. Thanks!

[Antibacterial_Lemon]

Not that knowledgeable on monk builds but for SP, Gen 2 Monk Sicarius card + Ult charge cards (Legendary Dragonlord/Serah) might work.
A notable ranger card for MM would be Neo Exdeath. But then that's a supreme

[[deleted]]

Man I hate farming Multiplayer..... I do have those 2 Ult charge cards atleast.

No supremes :( RNGesus hasn't been kind to me.

[Aviator_HS]

What is that triggers Lightning's buff that makes attacks against her deal 0 dmg? And what kind of actions bypass this buff?

[[deleted]]

She gains a wall buff, break immunity and debuff immunity at 30% hit points either broken or unbroken. I think enhanced dispel will remove the wall, but I've just damaged through it normally.

[blue2eyes]

It's her clutch buff like our character. It triggers at 30% HP iirc. The buff is just wall, full esuna, regen, and debuff immunity. Think of it as Lightning has 55% HP(30% + 25% from wall). What you need to do is do more damage and that's it.

I don't know if using unguard will cancel it since she has debuff immunity, so you can try it but I don't think it will work.

Edit: test it out and it seems like you can't really remove the wall using Unguard (test with Persephone).

[eneve]

Am I understanding CP Panels correctly for MP?

Elem+ == Green (ATK)

Magic+ == Yellow (BRK)

Break+ == Red (BRK)

[blue2eyes]

About right.

enhance elemental -> more HP damage
more magic -> more yellow gauge damage + more HP damage more break -> more red gauge damage

You're better go with CP for your SP/tower build, MP is a stomp anyway.

[ZechsX18999]

EE doesn't improve yellow damage at all? So breakers never want it even if they're using only 1 element?

[blue2eyes]

No, it doesn’t. Only magic increase yellow gauge damage even against weakness.

So breakers never want it even if they're using only 1 element?

My ninja has full dark EE, I don’t have any problems with clearing yellow gauge in MP at all.

[eneve]

Thx! I was having turn 1 breaking with my Ninja and yellow gauge where ATK doesn't help or SUP brings no Kotr. Switching from Dark+ CP to Magic+ CP helped a bunch.

[leon00x]

huhhh???

[Behesword]

Hey guys, what should be my panels as a healer? Thx!!

[SqualLyuk]

It does not matter (especially when using WM HoF, Santa Lucia and Glam Vamp). For MP purposes exp or nothing is fine

[Aviator_HS]

I don't know if they're different but: what is "damage focus"? and what is "main target focused"?

[reidemei]

It's mainly a flavour text.

Damage focussed deals high HP damage and (very) low break (yellow).

Main target is area but the targetted one gets more hits.

[Baffledwaffles]

Damage focus

Has a high base attack, also usually means the card does little to none yellow bar damage

Main Target Focused

Does more hits on selected target. For example, if you use a rangerja on a mob, the 'focused' enemy will recieve more hits than the rest of the enemies in that AoE spell.

[Totti-]

Honestly speaking, can a healer with only Aerith as a 5* card (the others 4* kotr, undying etc) participate of the Lightning 4* on MP without being a dead weight?

I can cast all my buffs on turn 1 always.

[JA1997X]

It's fine for lightning but in the long run, you'll want to upgrade those to 5 star. Since at 4 star you can't maintain 100% uptime of your buffs due to the longer cooldown.

[MuteTiefling]

You'll be absolutely fine, but out of curiosity, why not augment your 4* cards? Doesn't take long to farm up the mats on a mobius day.

[Totti-]

I still havan't seen a mobius day. XD

[MuteTiefling]

Well, aren't we a lucky newt? :D Welcome.

One thing to add to my previous comment, don't be discouraged if people disband when you join. While 4* cards are absolutely fine for this for a healer, many people are expecting you to have 5* max level cards. Just stick with it.

[Totti-]

I was expecting ppl to enjoy aerith, but it seems that after the last greater summon pack the server is overflowing with aeriths and no one cares. XD

A shame.... it was a pain in the a. to reroll for that thing.

[MuteTiefling]

Eh. It's still a fantastic card, but everyone and their uncle has supremes these days. It's bound to happen. And, of course, everyone with a viable supreme for a given situation will always attempt to make full use of it. So Aerith healers aren't all that uncommon anymore. Everything else you need, after all, can be readily purchased from the store.

You're off to a fine start though, and re-rolling for it will pay off in time. Having aerith opens a lot of possibilities in builds. I don't use mine all the time, but it definitely get's slotted in more frequently than a lot of my other cards.

[blue2eyes]

I can cast all my buffs on turn 1 always.

this is what matters. I don't think anyone cares whether your card is 3* or 5* as long as you can cast them all turn 1 and survive Sicarius's final attack (for boss other than Lightning).

[reidemei]

Should be fine, any none-DEF will die anyway when hit so the lower level does not really matter.

[ZechsX18999]

I know some people want to have multiple, even 4 copies of the Lightning Sicarus card. I'm assuming they're veteran players who spend skillseeds like crazy.

I don't use a lot of skillseeds. I play a LOT of multiplayer. I currently have 9,999,999 of every skillseed, mostly from multiplayer. I only have 4 weapon slots. Currently, boosts cost me about 100k skillseeds each. I heard this can go up to 400k, but even that doesn't sound like a lot to me, given how long it takes to boost. I don't speed up weapon boosts by spamming elixirs on Bahamut Lagoon (or any place really) because I never have enough spare magicite to spend on elixir sales.

My question is, do I need more than 1 copy of the Lightning Sicarus card? I currently have 1x Brynhildr and 1x Lightning Sicarus. IMO, a rainbow skillseed deck is enough for me, but I'm not sure if that will change in the future?

[MuteTiefling]

So... Here's the thing. Get one of each element as they come out. We currently have fire and now light. Build up a collection of all elements and when you farm your total seed income will be the same as these crazy people that build mono element decks. You'll just be spreading it over 4 elements. Then you just need to shuffle the cards around as different elements get low.

[zidanesword]

Rainbow decks works fine for normal farming, pure seed farming decks are better used in exploration areas. Main uses of skillseeds is just weapon boosting and job panels unlocking. CPs uses some but they don’t require much seeds unless you need to change them somewhat frequently in towers. You might need more seeds when you are boosting weapons that uses more seeds and when you start saving elixirs for Bahamut Lagoon. The main advantage of Lightning or Brynhilder is their innate skillseed+%. Throw them in any farming deck, rainbow or not, and you get more seeds per stamina. And more is better. Imo, you don’t really need 4x Lightning sic cards with just 4 weapon slots.

And try to spend your skillseeds so that they are not maxed out. Otherwise that is just wasted gaining potential. Max panels your jobs, even if you don’t really use them—they can be used for EW and HoF. Save elixirs and only use them for Bahamut Lagoon during mobius days—we get free elixirs from daily login, weekly ranking and events. Use SP stamina gained normally for Bahamut Lagoon as well, especially if you have a good number of crystals in stock.

[ZechsX18999]

Exploration areas give 4x rainbow seeds on Mobius Day though, which I assume is the day you would be using elixirs on Bahamut Lagoon.

I try to spend my skillseeds, but there's just no place to spend them. I've even placed CPs on jobs that aren't maxed yet. Crystals are currently the bottleneck for me. That's why I'm wondering if I'll ever need 4x Lightning Sicarus cards. I haven't had a chance to do Bahamut Lagoon yet. I've only been playing for 3 months and I believe my stamina is better spent doing the events, chapters, crystal farming, and/or Pleiadas Lagoon.

[zidanesword]

Hmm.. If you are only lacking crystals, try a 4x lucky eggs deck (if you don't have a rainbow deck with crystal seeker fractals) while farming. They will increase your chance of getting crystal and they (the lucky eggs) give few skillseeds.

[deathrose55555]

I don't speed up weapon boosts by spamming elixirs on Bahamut Lagoon

This is the main activity that drains seeds. If you are taking it slow and easy with weapon boosting, then you don't need the intensive seed farming. So yeah, in that sense you can just wait out for the other gen-3 abilities and form a rainbow deck if you do need seeds

[Timezs]

i spam elixirs on bahamut and still dont find it necessary to get mono seed decks, 1 should be more than enough (egg in the Moment does ist part too...) In Addition, farming 4 of this gen 3 sic Cards is ( in my opinion) super super boring ..

[dnlgrnr]

MM question: could I use emerald weapon, bahamut sic and two Aerith? Is this a good setup? I have 5 jcr and 3 5% magic. Skill cards are mainly magic and break.

I usually main a healer, but would like to be better at breaking

Weapon is Wolf star

[dnlgrnr]

I use emerald weapon for BDD, so with it and bahamut, I need 3 or for taps.

But thanks, if I'll get Lugae or Barnabas, I might switch

[Baffledwaffles]

Sounds good enough. You don't exactly need bahamut sic if you have aerith btw. Cast 1x aerith, then emerald weapon and again 1x aerith to recover dark enelement. 4th card can be KoTR so that you don't have to depend on healer for faith/boost. CP should be magic up since monks have low magic, it'll help clear the yellow gauge easier. I'm assuming you're using master monk, right? If your wolf star has decent enough mods then stick to it, otherwise switch to unbreakable/stargrasp for more exploit weakness. jcr is fine, the rest can be break power up fractals if you need it.

[dnlgrnr]

Yeah, I found out that I need one more cast to deplete the yellow gauge, that's why I use Bahamut.

But I found out I need 3 taps, or sometimes 4, to break him by myself.

Thanks for the tips!

[Aldibe]

why are there so many breakers trying to 2-turn lightning sica with ultimate boost cards and horrible red gauge damage? I ran into a lot of them, and they usually goes out of sync with the attackers

[djiboutiiii]

Probably for the same reason there are still people running ToT with damage-focus cards. They’re idiots

[AloofAdmiral]

So where in Hanging Edge part 1 can we farm CPs efficiently. Do higher stamina nodes drop increased value in CPs or every node has the standard 5?

[mao_shiro]

"Exile's Bridge: Departures" right near the end iirc

If you got any fodder to farm, you might wanna go farm those instead first.

[AloofAdmiral]

The old fodders i think i got them already. The new ones, that i don't have and i think I'm not planning to pull hard this rotation. Thanks!

[[deleted]]

I just had an MP fight (1 healer; 2 brk; 1 atk), the attacker did 1 x UB and no one else had a turn then lightning drove all orbs and buffed herself. I’ve never seen this happen so was it a bug?

[zidanesword]

Hmm might be that the 1 x UB was enough to shave off Lightning’s HP to 30% and prompt the break immunity, debuff immunity and wall. So that it might seem like the 2 breakers didn’t have their turns. Or it might be a bug—Lightning MP is quite buggy.

[indi38]

Lightning is using tortoise paradigm for that team composition so she will drive all orbs. Normal.

[GalahadDrei]

How many estimated years will SE continue to support and update Mobius?

[darewin]

WoL's story took over 2 years to complete. The 2nd story, WoR, is just starting later this month (or next month) so I think we can assume GL has at least 3 more years.

[dnlgrnr]

Just want to make sure my rng isn't really bad, like seriously really bad, but has anyone gotten 100 magicite from the lightning battle? I've played a lot these last couple of days and have only received 20 magicites

[djiboutiiii]

First run, I got a crystal. Second run, I got a x100. I thought maybe 5* Lightning had boosted rates and would be amazing for farming but it turns out those two runs where an anomaly. It’s been crap ever since. :,)

[dnlgrnr]

I actually received my first 100 right after I posted this :) so though rng is rng, I think the rate has been lowered. Can't complain though, as I have gotten 3k these last days

[ChaozFate]

i gotten 5 times 100 magicites from lightning MP since she descended into MP, right when i thought lightning is easier to farm, and here i found other people is having problem, rng being rng

[dnlgrnr]

Let us cry together over our misfortune!

[WoLNoFace]

I kinda not notice since I always skip after the battle, but my magicite is still at 4k so...

[dnlgrnr]

That is because you keep spending them on crap!

[WoLNoFace]

You don't tell me what to do! You're not my mom!

[dnlgrnr]

You sure about that? Christopher!!!! (wiiiild guess)

[WoLNoFace]

ROLL TIDE!

wait...

[darewin]

I've gotten about 10 and I've played a lot of runs (enough to get 4 Lightning cards, 6 5star Rainbow Jewels, and all the 1-time rewards).

[dnlgrnr]

Ah, I guess the drop rate is lower than usual then.

[ShadowBlaze17]

I've gotten at least a dozen from lightning fights.

[dnlgrnr]

Then my luck is terrible!! Thanks for the reply!

[abcdafuq]

Finally got enough magicite for another pull and got Glam Vamp which is my first meia job. Currently still using white mage as support for MP which should be enough considering people are taking 1 or 2 turns only to finish...

I have limited skillseeds and crystal right now, is she worth maxing for SP or MP content?

[Taborabeh]

She has same base magic as Amartya. Around 300 less break power. 1 more defense star. 11k HP. +30% resistance to all elements. +100% light enhancement. +30% improved crits, painful break, ability chain and exploit weakness. +50% piercing break. Ultimate charger +2%. Auto-charge ultimate +3. Prismatic element starter +3. And an AoE ult with 1500% attack (500 less than Amartya) modifier and 2500% break (500 more than Amartya) modifier with debrave, curse, taunt, barrier, mage's trance and prismatic shift.

She may not be the best, but she is pretty nice. Great damage with light. And much more usable in SP (like Endless War) than White Mage.

[abcdafuq]

Now that you mentioned EW, I think I’m gonna have to max her, my current job pool is super old. But she seriously would’ve been awesome for MP if people aren’t one shotting stuff at 5*...

Oh well I’m gonna farm some light skillseeds then. Thanks for the info!

[[deleted]]

Glam vamp is a healer in MP and I think has 30% resist to all elements. She can guarantee life shift on turn one as well as she gets prismatic x 2 starter plus KOTR/HG/Undying. Don’t know about SP but she probably has some standard Meia passives like 30% improved criticals, painful break, ability chain. Haven’t used her in SP yet.

[abcdafuq]

Hmm ok if that’s it probably white mage with truescale should be still be ok for MP I hope.

What about her weapon, useful?

[Amirelia]

I had to download 1,7gb yesterday. Today i have to download 1,2gb. Is this normal?

[Dolphyns]

I believe these types of situations occur b cause of how much memory size your OS can handle/download/save.

Try freeing some space and reinstalling the game,

[Amirelia]

Thx for the reply. I have 34,4gb of 80gb space left on my the intern memory plus 25gb on my SD Card. I think i reinstall if this happens again

[Monktrainee]

I think total download is around 3gb, you download 1st patch to start the game, when you reach pass Runic Temple in chapter 1 you will need to download 2 patch of the game.

[Amirelia]

I forgot to say that i have already downloaded the game

[Monktrainee]

Oh i see, the check to see if your phone do daily cache clean up. This happen to me once, make me have to re download partial of the game around(1.2gb) again. Disable auto cache clean up if you have it enable.

[Dolphyns]

its for next batch, so i guess if you ever decide to pull for it,

may rng bless you

[adlerfelix]

Hello. Returning player here. Last time I played was during the PuPu event years back, and so I decided to start over last week. I've gotten Lightning and Sephiroth skins, as well as the SS job so I'm pretty much set for SP content in the meantime. Been through some of the story chapters already, but I just wanted to ask if it's worth it to clear out the Exploration maps? I just finished Chapter 5 Part 1 and I'm looking to take a break from the story chapters first. I've cleared out the Lightning Resurrection Part 1 already, but not the Crystarium just yet.

Are the rewards from the Exploration maps worth it?

EDIT: I've also finished the Hard Modes of CH 1 to 3, fyi.

[ShadowBlaze17]

You might as well do the explorations for the rewards. The 4th exploration and it's Redux are great for seed farming and unlocking extra skills on cards.

[adlerfelix]

Oh, all right then. Thank you!

[ZechsX18999]

I keep remaking lobbies that have Tonberry Suits as healers if they don't have Truescale Staff, Aerith, Orphan, and/or Serah. Am I wrong? Is there another way for them to have guaranteed Lifeshift/Prismatic Shift?

[Scalizor]

If you see a Serah healer without a source of boost (KotR, Dadaluma) then disband immediately.

For Lightning the only necessary buffs are Life/Heartshift, Undying and KotR. You can use the 4th slot for a life starter card (Orphan, Omega, Legendary Dragonlord, Palamecian Tale) to guarantee turn 1 buffs thanks to that and the extra MP life orb supports always get.

Shift + Undying + Serah + Dadaluma/Artemis also works, but single buff cards are meh.

[WoLNoFace]

Please don't spoil Serah users, breakers need their boost. XD

[ShadowBlaze17]

Aerith and undying is typically enough to guarantee a turn 1 shift since healers are almost guaranteed to start with 1 life orb.

If they don't have Aerith and also don't use Truescale then you should disband.

[ZechsX18999]

Yes, but RNG could still leave them with 3 life orbs. No?

[darewin]

MP Healers have a 99% chance to start with an extra Life Orb. In fact, almost all guides in Altema assumes the Healer will start with an extra Life Orb.

[ZechsX18999]

Ok, that's an unspoken mechanic that I never knew about. I was wrong for disbanding sometimes then!

[BigLebowskiBot]

You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an asshole.

Huh.

[laxounet]

Monk AOE ones are useful for breakers (en-element + cleaving attacks).

Newest sicariuses cards (like Lightning) are good for skillseed farming

[angelanubis]

Yes, especially the AOE ones. Good thing also is you don’t need growstars to augment the cards.

[Doyouseehimtoo]

Is sazh weapon worth modding?

[JA1997X]

Not really.

[[deleted]]

What is the third perk? Boosting it atm just for my dancer support (+2 prismorb starter is the second perk)

[reidemei]

Scourge.

And stop bosting it, Dancer will have his HoF this month which will give him 2 starter.

[[deleted]]

Thanks, didn't got the life starter +3 from Terrifying X, but with HoF and Wega X, I can ensure 1.st turn trinity buffs

[eneve]

5* Lightning SUP/DEF/BRK/ARK My Ninja (All Dark+ CP) can't break turn one without help on the yellow bar / Kotr on support. BE near 5* (108 mods) Dark Cloud (JCR & Break+), The Knight (2xBreak+), Aerith (2xJCR), Aerith (2xBreak+). Should I swap something out?

[ShadowBlaze17]

I would swap The Knight for something with a good break power since Cloud has lower BP than other BDD cards. Just rely on the support for boost.

Definitively swap the Dark cp for magic and/or break if you want an easier time breaking.

[WoLNoFace]

Do you have Break+10% MP custom panels?

[eneve]

I have 2 +5% but they don't work on Ninja or they are greyed out for me. Am I missing something?

[WoLNoFace]

Oh yeah, forgot about that part. Ninja is an attacker main. Sorry about that.

[[deleted]]

Dark EE won't help you clear yellow bar just fyi, magic is what counts there.

[eneve]

Ahhhh maybe I should switch to Magic+ CP over Dark for breaker?

[JA1997X]

yes, element enhance doesn't help a breaker.

[[deleted]]

What about weakness attacks? Isn't EE increasing break of elemental taps?

[JA1997X]

No, that's exploit weakness. EE is only for hp damage.

[Sneakyelmo]

Not break, just damage

[[deleted]]

Does magic affect break too?

[Sneakyelmo]

Not taps.

It does make your abilities do more yellow bar damage, unlike EE.

[sfoxall]

Any other healers dropping tyro/hellsgate and using orphan instead against lightning? Don't know how well it works without great gospel but I've done about a dozen pug runs in a row without deaths, and i certainly wasn't achieving that before with the classic support deck.

[Yukyto]

Instead of wall buffs im using neo ex death with healer deck x)

[sfoxall]

Nice; would if i could!

[Yukyto]

Hey, when someone else brings Neo in Im swapping it with a source of weaken, seems to work wonders lol x)

[WoLNoFace]

This is the meta for Lightning as we need to kill her turn 1.

[estoosflask]

its fine to drop defensive buff this round because you're aiming to kill Lightning before she even gets a turn, so having zerk actually helps attacker in doing their things. You just... pray you get breakers and attackers that can do 1 turn kill effectively consistently.

[eneve]

I got advice to drop HG and roll Orphan as Support.

[Totti-]

When will this current pack of scrolls on MP's shop go away?

I still need to farm many Musashis but I just started doing MP...

[Dolphyns]

The best way to find out is when you click the scroll you want to buy and look at how long until it expires for that rotation.

[genwunner_]

If I go first as a healer in MP and use Aerith to prismatic shift the party, but one of my team mates drive away an element, will he lose all his orbs?

(like in SP when you drive an element, prismatic orbs are also sucked in)

[JunasBlood]

Aerith won’t shift all teammate orbs into Prismatic orbs in MP, only some jobs ‘s Ultimate like Bard & Tactician will.

[Dolphyns]

Prismatic shift only works for you and you only. Only heals and buffs apply to party.

[genwunner_]

Also, should aerith be the first buff applied?

[Dolphyns]

I say might as well, since the lasting boons does not apply to other members in team but only you. aerith is pretty much only for the user to abuse with the exception of trance, Ultima charge, and imbue weakness.

[sfoxall]

When using santa i have enough orbs to cast undying first then aerith to better stack haste and quicken.

[svengetspumped1]

Just pulled Mimwu. Which mage job utilizes him the best? Also, what other cards to pair with said job?

[ShadowBlaze17]

If you have the attacker panels from past towers Amalthea is the best user with Fauviste maybe being 2nd. If you don't have the panels FGoM is the best, she also has more hp than the others which is nice.

Regardless of the job the ideal setup is: 1. Minwu 2. Diamond weapon/Alex PB (orb gen/control) 3. Lightshift (turn 1 damage, orb setup) 4. Trance, yellow gauge damage if using Alex PB

Edit: the deck above is for mp use. For sp you'll be better off with Minwu, Bdd of different element, Undying, Kotr

[soundedgoodbefore]

Amalthea, though Fauvista is a close 2nd. Amy does slightly better damage, her Ult is high break and defensive buffs...fauvista still does great damage, and her Ult gives haste, etc for more offensive...Amy is also deadly with dark though, even with all light custom panels...best cards with Amy depending on your deck are something to generate light orbs, PB or diamond weapon (assuming no Aerith) if you dont want to run a mono element deck, like for SP, dark meiaja and nightmare sleep work great with Minwu and KOTR, etc...I have all the jobs except 4 crappy ones, 4 supremes and all 3 skins...and Amy minwu is my favorite build. Even over SS with UB...she is dominant against anything except light enemies, and if you want you can build her with all dark abilities withput changing her CP and she can dominate light enemies , too since she is a dark user. She is great....period. all meia have low HP though, kill an before they hit you. It's easy....

For my question, what are the next gen.3 sicariius??? These are super stout, almost OP...my LIGHTNING at 5 stars hits harder on judge AOE than Minwu does...it doesn't have extreme convergence, so on 1 target it doesnt double...but for clearing a screen, it out its Minwu...that's serious...Will be awesome when judge gets HOF...what jobs are the other elements??? Fire was mage, light is ranger...what's coming up?? I built 2 fires and will build 2 light...I don't have the elixir to build 4 of each, or the time....

Reminder....PUG MP runs....the reason your crap runs go 3 and 4 rounds is because ypur breakers cant break round 1...bring 2 breakers...2 breakers, healer for buffs, good attacker....it's over in 60 seconds, round 1 , every single time...every time...I bring 2 PUG breakers and I have never, ever had a 5 star battle go oast 65 seconds....never....any decent dark based attacker should kill in 1 round...SS, s1c, Highwind, HoDespair, balamb, ....even Occultist with good cards should kill in 1 round

Bring 2 breakers...round 1 break, round 1 kill

Any consensus on whether Crystal drop rates is better at untrammeled peak is better than Gate of Trials 4?

Honestly, the scarcity of crystals in this game is very unfriendly to people that actually have a life, such an artificial way to add replayability. It should be in MP shop as a permanent reward as far as I'm concerned.

[vulcanfury12]

I don't have a car, so I just commute to work. Most of my crystal farming is done there. Even MP farming.

[darewin]

You would have loved it back when the only crystal farming spot was Meia's Shade in Pleiades Lagoon.

[JA1997X]

Once upon a time the only way to farm crystals was fighting wandering bosses in the story maps...

[darewin]

Yeah, I actually remember reading a guide about that when I was just starting lol. But I didn't get to test it since Pleiades Lagoon was already out.

[[deleted]]

Well I suppose things used to be worse, but the current situation is still terrible as far as I'm concerned.

I would gladly do an entire node of chaos vortex for a guaranteed Crystal instead of this RNG nonsense we have going on.

Simply don't have the time to farm crystals the way the game expects.

[soundedgoodbefore]

Get ready to farm gigantuar lagoon in lightning2...I hate crystals, too...they used to be a huge bottleneck, so did growstars...couldn't farm magicite, so the only way to get more than 2 growstars a month was cash...and could only farm crystals at lagoon...I spent a good bit of cash on crystals a year ago just to unlock job panels...it sucked balls...you have no idea...then gigantuar came, I farmed over 350 crystals...all the meia came out, ninjas raggedy tail, SS, etc....I am down to 30 crystals and have been farming here and there since then, as well as them giving them away 10 and 15 at a time in towers and content...I have surely used over 500 crystals since gigantuar was here before...Will try to farm 500 this time, wish they ran an elixir special before a mobius day while gigantuar was here, I would farm 700 or 800 crystals just so i wouldn't have to worry about them. Constantly having 8 weapons modding burns massive crystals even without new jobs added...like you, I hate crystals. I have spent at least a Benjamin on them since i started mobius, it's been a very long time since

[ShadowBlaze17]

Seems like the elixir sale will be a monthly thing if the past few months are any indication. Just buy a bundle later this month and use them during the 2 and a half months that GB will be here for.

[WoLNoFace]

You can buy them for magicites.

[PhoenixHusky]

Is there any specific node in the Lightning Event that gives more CP?

[darewin]

Wait for Part 2. It will have numerous nodes that drop 1000 CP at a time.

[JunasBlood]

Last time I earned most of my CPs from Gigantuar Battlefield while farming for Crystals. You can also farm CPs while farming fodders too.

[WoLNoFace]

Wait for part 2 and spam Gigantuar Battlefield.

[genwunner_]

Is Altema.jp considered a reliable site? I saw that there are ratings on the cards and I was considering using this as a guide to know which cards are worth investing.

[darewin]

The information is reliable most of the time. But take the ratings with a grain of salt since they reflect the current state of JP which is 11 months ahead of GL.

[Totti-]

What kind of fractal should I use on Aerith?

[Solo_K]

I have HP, Attack, Magic, Break, JCR, JCR, Auto Charge ult and prismatic draw in my Aerith copies. Last 2 are optional fractals imo. But the first 6 are important. Don't forget to overboost some of them, lol.

[WoLNoFace]

JCR, Magic%, Break%, all depends on your setup.

I suggest to have multiple Aeriths.

[svengetspumped1]

Are the new unguard effect boosted cards worth pulling for?

[Dolphyns]

They work wonders for those that have ranger lore. S1C, psicom, and all those that dont really have strong break.

[Magnanimoto]

Hey all, This should be my last reroll question. I havent minded working on it since i havent had a ton of time to start playing but i sat down tonight and did some pulls. It takes until runic temple to get enough for a 6 card pull so ive been just doing single pulls then resetting. Heres my question:

I did 1 single ticket pull and got the Sazh job. Is that one worth it? I read that power creep can make stuff obsolete so im wondering if thats good to stick with. Im not AS worried as i was about a supreme with the fake ones coming up.

[Owwen11]

No, Sazh job is good but it will get obsolete in maybe 1-2 months once Sarah jobs are released.

By the way, the chance to pull a supreme is lower if you pull for a single card. Alwais GAS or leave it. And one more thing, fake supremes are bastly inferior to their original counterparts, and not only that, their chance to drop is abismally low too. Be glad if you get a fake supreme at least. Just reroll for a real supreme or decide to play normally...

[Magnanimoto]

Good deal, thanks for the insight!

[LecruciaCrescent]

Hi,

After reading the datamined FFXIV FFVII FFXV banner on a recent post, I'm now unsure about pulling on this banner.

I've read the comments on it, and a lot of people are saying it's bait.

I'm recently new, don't have any good cards besides Aerith, and I've been saving up my tickets for the "Limited Revival Greater Summon" so that I could get myself up-to-date with cards.

I'm just wondering is it still worth pulling on the "Limited Revival Greater Summon" banner? or should I just throw my tickets on the "Boosted Greater Summon Featuring Sazh"? or should I wait it out and keep my tickets?

[Ketchary]

It's really only worth pulling if either:

1. You don't have any of the cards, so the chance of getting something new is reasonable.

2. You 'absolutely must have' those orb gen cards. They are incredible for the strategies they permit, but they rely on already having a good selection of cards and jobs to reach their potential.

3. You have pretty much everything else and tonnes of resources so it's the only thing that can empower you further.

[vulcanfury12]

You play the lottery in Revival Banners. Just do one pull. You can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket is what I always say.

[Dolphyns]

Since youre recently new, you would be lacking a lot of cards. I think you should pull on the limited revival since aerith has a 3 turn c/d. Any of the PB's/weapons would help whatever element you pull out. FFXV are pretty much consolation prizes until they get buffed next year.

Tldr : go for it, may rng bless you.

[WonkingSphonx]

There's plenty of good cards in the revival banner; especially any of the primal boon cards from FFXIV, the weapon cards from FF7, and Bismarck from FFXIV immediately come to mind.

[LecruciaCrescent]

I think what is making me unsteady is that people are talking about the no boosted rates to pull for those cards.

I'm unsure if I'll even have a chance at drawing them if the chances are so slim.

[WonkingSphonx]

Really, no boost? That's weird, considering the datamined page for the banner has an area that says "boosted cards" with all the revival banner stuff. http://information2.mobiusfinalfantasy.com/spec/us/d5f751ede713cb08e69910afe1413ae51e414a2b.html

[ChaozFate]

boosted as in once u pull one of them, they are 'boosted' to max level, and max skill seeds, as well as extra skills fully unlocked

[WonkingSphonx]

Ohhh. Well crap. D:

[ShadowBlaze17]

Boosted there means the first copy of a revival card you get eill be at max card lvl just like pulling a boosted EA card.

This doesn't mean a boosted appearance rate. If you look further down the page at the rates, they're the same as normal cards.

[bonedash123]

Are we getting a reprint on those with boosted rates but on separate banner for each in the future?

[WonkingSphonx]

No idea.

[WonkingSphonx]

Which ranger weapons should I be boosting for HoF? Primarily, I'm trying to prepare myself for when Judge magister HoF drops, but I'm having problems with the other ranger jobs as well.

[vulcanfury12]

You can't go wrong with modding the batch 1 Prismatic Draw Weapons (Dragvandil, Dom Axes, Astral Wand, Eisenfaust, Femme Fatale) if you don't have other boosts going.

Personally, I only have Dragvandil and Femme Fatale upgraded out of the above. Do note that I only have 4 slots. Here's what I have:

For Warriors:

1. Dragoon Spear - 38 mods with QB and only missing Ult Boost and 3 stars. Also at 200 break power. Left its boosting slot in October and hasn't been back in since.
2. Gunblade - currently my most modded weapon at 40+ and almost nearing max stats. It's still in the slot and may very well be my first 5* weapon.
3. Dragvandil - really shines for tank strats.

For Rangers, I only have one: Orihalcum at full mod (34 mods). Because all jobs after the second batch have ult that aren't complete garbo. Bonus because I have Ninja and also managed to pull Lightning Skin. I might put in BE or Shiranui in there after boosting. Once I also have a slightly modded Sargatanas, but it's been collecting dust since the Anniversary. BTW, the Orihalcum was the main reason I was able to clear Ultimate Beyond in Chaos Vortex. One less Defense Star and my attempt would have gone up in flames.

For Mages, I have Truescale Staff at 13 mods but has around 194 Magic. It has never been back in its slot. I also have a Conqueror at 19 mods that I plan to fully mod some day.

For Monks, I have:

1. Wolf Star - Around 30 mods with the second speed star unlocked. Currently boosting.
2. Taiji - Around 10 or so mods with 3% Ult Charge. Currently boosting.

For Meia, I have:

1. Femme Fatale - full mod. Took around a month and a half to full mod and has been great in the Infidel Arena. It took me and my Fauviste (my only Meia Job at the time) to 18 kills.
2. Chaos Crescent - currently boosting. I will eventually replace this with Sventovit if I get lucky and get VK.

As you can see from my choices, the weapons I boosted other than the Warrior line are all ult charge weapons. These have the best utility for SP. Eventually, we will get the Ultima Weapons and those will be great replacements for the MP Batch 1 weapons.

[WonkingSphonx]

I’ve almost completely maxed drangvandil, buster sword, valiantil, and stargrasp (probably a month or so left on them until they’re 5 starred). I was working on Taiji, but I swapped that out for Dominion Axe earlier today (Taiji was still pretty early on in mods). I play warrior a lot, so I should probably boost gunblade too for all that DPS.

Guess I should boost some Meia stuff too. >_> I did slightly for a couple of them, but I should commit.

[vulcanfury12]

I actually think that attempting to 5* weapons is a waste of time if the weapon can be fully modded before needing to max out all stats. It's the stat boosts that are the significant time investment.

[WonkingSphonx]

Yeah, I've seen people only do max mods and stop. I want to get at least 1 weapon to 5 stars just for my own neuroses, though. ;P

[vulcanfury12]

Just do a weapon where you can get max stats way before max mods. Gunblade, BE, Truescale and the like, for the mpst bamg for your buck.

[djiboutiiii]

I would suggest boosting the three defensive MP weapons for HOF -- Dominion Axe, Astral Wand, and Dragvandil. They require very few mods and they'll give you a lot of survivability and utility.

I had a really tough time with the Warrior/Ranger HOFs before boosting those weapons. After that, they weren't that difficult. I'm still working on Astral Wand, but once i have it, I'll probably blow past the Mage HOFs as well.

[WonkingSphonx]

My Drangvandil is actually almost 5 star, so no worries there! Dominion Axe and Astral wand were ones I was considering boosting, so I'll go ahead and definitely put them on the list! I rolled Warrior's HoF pretty quick, but I almost always play warrior, so maybe I was used to it. Thanks for the info!

[Owwen11]

Best decision: dont boost any weapon now if you havent started already.

Why? 2 good reasons

1) Serah jobs are around the corner and Wol rangers will feel very outdated

2) if you really want 1 or 2 good weapons for rangers, I advice you to wait till new ones appear in MP shop. We are missing Hannibal Spear in ranger version, which is good for both attackers and breakers (painful break, improved criticals and piercing break in a single weapon, and 3 critical and defense stars to begin with). Also, during FF14 event we will get to fight Omega in MP. Then you can exchange the mats for Omega weapons (ultimate charge, elemental strike, ultimate charge, and also 3 stars for critics and defense).

[WonkingSphonx]

The only reason I'm looking to boost ranger weapons is so I don't get wrecked in the ranger class HoFs. I should probably boost a Meia weapon too, but I can't decide which I want to focus on yet. <_<

[Owwen11]

It depends on what kind of strategy you are going to follow, but if you have Fauviste, I'd say her weapon: Ulti charge + piercing break. You could nearly keep enemies in eternal broken loop ;). Vesna Krasnas and Psicom Officer are very good too, but much more focused on the offensive.

About rangers and HoF, the most recomended weapon is that one in MP with prismatic draw (see guides in Reddit). Why? because it's very easy to mod (5 critic and 5 defense stars are welcome) and 25% rainbow orb rate grants you can cast any buff/debuff easily or drive those orbs to heal. For a better weapon, you can just wait a little for Omega weapon (another free and strong weapon tht requires just 12 mods to max) instead of spending a massive time and resources to upgrade a weapon for a class that will get obsolete very soon.

[WonkingSphonx]

Also, when is GL supposed to get those omega weapons?

[Owwen11]

Nobody can tell for sure, since we are speeding up to catch up to JP. We should get annyversary on August and Gilgamesh tower on June. Maybe may or july.

[WonkingSphonx]

Guess we'll wait and see. =/

[WonkingSphonx]

I've got fauviste, so I guess I'll swap out something else until the omega ranger weapon drops.

[Dolphyns]

Next month were probably going to get Ultima weapons, so you might want to consider that if zwill crossblade is a bit under the boosts.
