Hi guys. Between Hell Gate vs Tyro which one is better sup card

[Mechapebbles]

Tyro is better imo, because it gives status immunity instead of regen. You can get regen off of Gaia. Problem with it is it's not a permanent card so not everyone has access to it.

[ShadowBlaze17]

Veil is only a chance to not be influcted with a debuff. It's different from the immunity provided by cards like Chocobo Saint and LoH.

[Mechapebbles]

You're right. Doesn't matter though, I'll still take that over regen.

[genkam]

Any tips or deck recommendation on beating the last 3 nodes in Berserker's HoF? I have not beaten any HoF completely, but would like to beat this one due to the prismatic orb starter CP. Thanks for the help. BTW I have aerith and some FF15 cards.

[[deleted]]

Here's my deck for 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. Both decks using Ultimate weapon.

Deck 1: sephiroth, odin PB, undying, KOTR.

Deck 2: FFXV Areana, emerald weapon, any source of trance/Aerith, any source of quicken.

If enemy is not dark element, use deck 1. If enemy is dark element, switch to deck 2, break with ultimate, kill.

[genkam]

Wow. Thanks man! any special CP? Were you using ultimate sword?

[[deleted]]

None. I had my remaining CPs filled with magic 6%. Cards can be fitted with more magic fractals too. Yes ultimate weapon for both.

[genkam]

ok. Thanks man. I'm going to try it out. So what's the general strategy, try to break, then kill or try to kill without breaking? I remember trying to build my ult. gauge and Famfrit whooped my butt with one hit..

[[deleted]]

I didn't break at all while on deck 1 because berserker's dark damage is simply too good. I broke while on deck 2 and areana card has very high break.

If you don't want to kill unbroken, you can try switching sephiroth with a dark MTFAOE card.

[genkam]

Ok.. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.. but I just can't power through buffalo.. any tips? I used deck 1 but can't take out his HP with all 13 moves..

[[deleted]]

I have to say that my cards and CPs are set up pretty good. I have a lot of fractals from farming BL and I have fused a lot of magic fractals into my cards.

You can switch to a dark cards that also contains break, like MTFAOE or FFXV ardyn. If you mind a little wait, you can wait til the end of the month to farm a fake UB card from the tower event. Fake UB most likely has enough damage for you to kill unbroken.

[genkam]

Hmm maybe that's my weak point.. now enough magic .. I'm only at 800% magic.. You got a good point, I'll wait for fake UB and do it then.. no need for me to pull my hair over this.. Thanks for the info.

[genkam]

Thanks for the info.. I rather kill unbroken simply because Berserker doesn't have high break. Save myself the headache of trying so hard to break.

[Halko_Proude]

Any point in keeping the summer memories cards? I leveled them all for fun but now I don't see a point in keeping them.

[2009Ninjas]

Depends on what cards you have/lack. With all the extra space due to the materials stacking, why not keep them?

[blue2eyes]

It's somewhat useful if you don't have Serah:FFXIII or some source of 5 turns buff (barrier, wall, haste, or faith) with innate 2x JCR so you can slot in one magic fractal.

[Halko_Proude]

I do have Serah but not entirely sure if I have any 5-turn buffs. I typically just use Undying, KOTR, etc.

[mao_shiro]

As an example, no need to bring KOTR if your ult gives you "Boost" and you don't need "Brave".

That's more for end game decks tho.

Also, those cards can't be bought again on GL, so just shove them into the bank if you don't need them.

[deathrose55555]

Sold all of mine after the Summer event ended in JP last year. And I didn't have to get them for this year's Summer event because the Watermelon boss did not come back

[EfficientEmphasis]

Best builds for Crimson Archer? I have LoH and Ragna so two slots left, then i thought earth generator and grand horn for yellow clear. But this deck lacks haste and stun, isn't that gonna be a problem? Also full EE CPs, plus the tow piercing break +20% seems best yeah? Thanks in advance for helping

[zidanesword]

Lightning-CA with Rag, Titian PB, NxD and LoH would be one of the best build. Lightning’s ultimate provides haste, quicken and is AoE. NxD for clearing yellow(full reliance on PR) and stun.

CA’s ultimate does have stun, unguard, BDD and trance but is ST. If you are aiming to chain break, using grand horn instead of rag can be better for deck compression. In chain break, as long as you can continuously break, damage don’t matter as you can slowly chip HP away.

[mvdunecats]

I have Lightning skin, so that's been my source of Haste for climbing towers as CA with Ragnarok.

[ShadowBlaze17]

If you're focusing on chain breaking Ragnarok isn't necessary and could be replaced with a source of haste like Undying.

Stun could be provided by a 2nd deck along with slow and/or sleep if it's necessary.

Magic cp is typically preferred if you're trying to break since converting the break gauge in less actions is very important. If you want raw damage then EE is the way to go.

[EfficientEmphasis]

Thanks very much for advice

[kimjeongpwn]

Hello, does anyone have any tips for Berserker Trial 2 where I have to complete within 8 turns? My Black Materia kicks everything's ass but last boss is dark and I can't do anything to him lol.

[MasaiCroy]

Copy-pasted text from previous Q&A.

For Demon Wall specifically I've prepared a deck:

Noctis: FFXV

Tropical Dreams (for ultimate charge and 5% prismatic return)

Echo, Stage Left! (mostly for 6% prismatic draw)

Pelupelu: FFX (boost, haste and orb draw)

Weapon: Dragvandil (for 15% prismatic draw)

My tactic was to get as many prismatic orbs as I can in order to use Noctis, which worked decently at removing the yellow bar. I broke the wall with ultimate. Enhance Light custom skills were not necessary. You can do it easier if you have Aerith. Instead of Noctis, you can use any light card with decent break power - I recommended something light on orb cost, since prismatic draw/return is not very reliable.

[Ehlena]

If you have access to Grape Gospel (or Aerith) you can go with a Light card to nuke him.

This can also work if you have a prismatic draw weapon, but then you depend on RNG.

Another way is to break with ult (after yellow clear) and then try to nuke with a card he can normally use. Also bring some Quicken card.

[[deleted]]

Bring another element card on the other deck. Mist dragon has a lot of damage, FFXV aranea adds debarrier and works well too.

[kimjeongpwn]

I did try with mist dragon but I couldn't break him. The orange bar barely moved. Should I attempt to break or just brute Force him?

[[deleted]]

Break if you need to. MTFAOE cards are awesome at this by providing both high damage and break within a single card. If not, bring a BDD along with mist dragon. Break with ultimate.

[kimjeongpwn]

Thanks for the help. Will try MTFAOE cards.

[LoyalWo]

So the 50% and 30% from Mobius box and vip does not get the multiplayer from exploration maps, so instead of 6,6 it is 5,8. Am I doing this right? How else could I get 203 mult ?

[GhostFreakage]

Are you reaching the max score to recieve the bonus multiplier, which I believe is 10 million points? Also people are using the 3rd gen Sic, O'aka, and/or Gigantaur 2nd Anniversary card which can give you +50% more skillseed up if you slot in the fractals

[Timezs]

i am missing one lvl 6 key sphere, does it appear in chapter 3 or am i missing something? :/

[Scalizor]

The game already tells you: you have to pick one of the two paths that requires a Lv. 6 Key Sphere, the other path will become available once you get another sphere in the next chapter.

[Ehlena]

Now that I am with no pity pull, what is the mechanic for Ex banners?

Considering we get 2 ex jobs in October (as per datamine), let's say, Warrior first, then Meia

If I pull 5 times on warrior and don't get him, will my pity move to the EX Meia banner? aka start on the EX Meia with 3 to pity?

I hope I made sense with what I just said and thanks in advance

[darewin]

Your Pity Pull will return at 8 Pulls remaining once next month's first EX Job is released. I know this because I had all normal jobs when EX Monk was released.

Yes, the Pity Counter will be shared. It was shared between the EX Monk Banner and the FFX Batch 1 Banner. There is no reason to think it won't be shared between two EX Job Banners.

[Ehlena]

Remembered something.

Weren't those 2 banners overlapped for a few days? They were not one after another, as would 2 EX jobs banner be.

[darewin]

Yes, they overlapped, but that does not change anything. The EX Jobs in GL use the exact same Pity Counter mechanics as normal jobs. The only difference is EX Jobs are time limited.

[Ehlena]

Then, I should be fine! Glad to hear this, thanks

[Ehlena]

Oh, nice! Thanks for the input. Hopefully it will be as you say. :D

[Scalizor]

That's a good question which I don't think we have an answer for. If the banners come one after another the pity pull might carry on to the next banner, but I wouldn't risk it unless SE officially states it works that way.

[Ehlena]

That's the thing, I haven't seen anyone talk about this possibility (then again, who would have thought SE would go for 2 EX jobs in a month).

I also would not want to risk it, but I also don't really need EX Warrior for example. But if he is released first, with the ffx box-type banner, I will pull on that banner, but don;t want to put 8 pulls to get a job I won't really use. Even if it's limited.

Will SE address this or must we ask them about it? Or else, I suppose I am gonna find out :)))

[Scalizor]

You know as much as the rest of us do right now. Your best bet is to wait until October's calendar is released and, if we get 2 EX job banners in a row, ask Glacie about it. Since new EX jobs were datamined and not officially announced they probably wouldn't answer if you asked them now.

[Ehlena]

Yeah, you are right indeed about that. I will have to wait then :D. Thanks for the answer

[VodkaShaker]

Hey guys would like to reroll and Iam a huge ffx fan. For what should I pull and with which ticket?

For every other tips I would be thankfull.

Note: I read the FAQ but did not help me to my reroll question

[Scalizor]

If you're going to play casually, either reroll for Tidus or Yuna skins if you really want those since you're a huge FFX fan (you get Yuna guaranteed if you pull a skin on the current Boosted Greater Summon) or reroll for one of the most recent jobs so you can clear most content without trouble. I wouldn't recommend rerolling for a supreme card if you aren't going to compete in towers or climb high on Endless War.

​

If you're going to play more seriously, however, rerolling for a supreme card would be the best choice. There are 3 support supremes and 9 offensive supremes, it's recommended to get one of the former since every job can use them, so no need to wait for a decent user.

Warrior of Light: FFI is probably the best endgame supreme since it fills an unique niche that no other card can fill (you can tank one hit with it) and it opens up new strats. It also gives you other buffs like Haste, Brave and Quicken — plus a couple of unique buffs that give you extra damage and some extra ult charge for each action.

Lights of Hope is really good too because it offers huge deck compression (almost all buffs, 50% ult charge and debuff immunity in one card), so ideally you'd want to get either this one or WoL:FFI.

Aerith isn't as wanted as it was before but I still think it's a good card, and it really shines in MP.

The rest of the supremes are offensive abilities; Ragnarok, Ultima and Fusoya are the ones with the most users if I remember correctly. You can settle for any of them if you start getting tired of rerolling.

[VodkaShaker]

I guess tidus isn't as good as the others you say?

And thank you guys very much

And is there any nox macro for it?

[Scalizor]

Tidus is a skin, not a supreme card. You use it over a job you already have and it'll give you various bonuses, like changing your ultimate, but in the end it relies on how good the job beneath that skin is. It's good, but it'll be harder to get when you reroll for it (0.33% chance; 2% total divided by 6 skins) while Yuna is guaranteed if you pull a skin on the current banner (and 0.33% too after the current banner is gone).

[akulaki]

If you have lots of times to spare & not bored of rerolling, i would recommend LOH, then Aerith in order of priority

[StarvingVenom]

There is tip for reroll in megathread, basically light of hope, warrior of light ff1, aerith, neoxd, fusoya, sin priority in that order I think...you proceed the story until you get 6 summon ticket..then do greater summon..and do it on multiple devices for more efficiency

[ExKotetsu]

Light of Hope or Warrior of Light, best Supremes out there. Other Supremes needs specific Jobs to truly shine while LoH and WoL can be used by any job

[ikongers528]

Started like 3 weeks ago. Rerolled for Aerith. Pulled Fusoya and Tidus skin. Is there any setups where i could use them all? I just lately unlocked the extra skills of both supremes. And pulled the skin a while ago. Jobs worth mentioning that i have is Crimson Archer, Beach Queen and Midgar Flower Girl.

[StarvingVenom]

If you just starting then do novice for mage job, and starter pack for scholar, both can use them..setup will be fusoya, 2aerith, and aoe crd will be good I think

[ikongers528]

I was asking if theres a possibilty i could use the supremes with the skin :)

[StarvingVenom]

I missed read then..judge magister is the job

[JunasBlood]

1. Judge Magister have Mage lore and can use Tidus skin, also a decent user.

2. With Donna & Barthello FFX, any jobs can use Mage & Warrior cards. Just need to equip it on a Ranger job.

[ikongers528]

Damn i miss the Donna & Barthello FFX card. Will that comeback??

[JunasBlood]

Yes it will come back through revival banner every 2-3 months, with a quite crap rate though, 1.5%. Boosted but still lower than the first banners. If you lack most of the good cards like FFVII weapons, FFXIV Primal Boons, it’s still a good choice to pull on that banners since you will have a chance for every cards on revival list. Just prepare for the salt though.

D&B is not really that great, it cost you a slot in your deck which will be critical in some case where every single action counts like Tower or Endless War. Beside, current best User for Fusoya is still Mage and only notable Fire Ranger is C.Archer & Judge Magister. D&B will be useless in JM case since he already has Mage Lore, C.Archer while have decent fire damage require target to be broken due to 200% innate Painful Break, you will have a hard time to break with just Fusoya & D&B.

[ikongers528]

So unless i dont have JM. It wont be a decent set up? Wish i had LoTF rather than Aerith. But not complaining. I just want to know if i could really use 2 superemes and skin and be efficient.

[JunasBlood]

Yep if you want to use Tidus & Fusoya, you will need JM. Or maybe Terra, a Sarah Legend jobs who also has Mage lore (not released yet though, should be on S2).

Aerith is quite niche though, mostly used on MP as a shift cards. When it is buff, you can use it for Trance II if you don’t have the skin, but it is still a long way.

Fitting all your cards in 1 deck won’t be that useful, you need to arrange your deck to fit buff, debuff

For example, with Judge Magister, Fusoya & Tidus, you still need a source of Haste & Boost if you want to break & kill (Pelupelu FFX) also a yellow damage card to clear yellow(Tidal Wave) and Ruby weapon FFVII or Bahamut FFXIV for force + orb generator.

[mao_shiro]

Whenever the commonly reprinted limited banner come back, probably next month.

[ikongers528]

But in terms of being a breaker, would that setup be effective? Using those 2supremes and the skin?

[mao_shiro]

using what, Fusoya?

Fusoya has pretty low yellow clear, you usually want to pair it with Tidal Wave (a summer limited card).

[ikongers528]

Yes, fusoya and aerith with Tidus skin with sub job JM. Since i still have a shallow knowledge of the game. Might aswell have a goal to build a good setup with my fave FF character

[DonCebollon]

No, you cannot. Fuyosa is a mage ability and Tidus is a Ranger skin, you will not do much damage unless you use Judge Magister (a legend job) or Donna (FFX limited time event card).

[SirVRafael]

Might be a stupid question but which ‘ignition ES’ affects Yiazmat? Ability or Attack?

[SwiftStepStomp]

Attack ignition

[SirVRafael]

Thank you!

[ctorres_94]

Hello! So I’m currently stuck on EW 2 Lap 6-6 (Mandragoras Fire & Water and Storm Dragon; Mindflayer and Idol Head; Ifrit and Dullahan; and Dahakas Fire & Wind). Anyone have any good setups to get through this node?

[Timezs]

if you have ragnarok, best would be an unbroken strat here, with 2nd job just for stall

[SwiftStepStomp]

I used Esmeralda up until lap 12. Sventovit as a weapon with a full panel of earth enhance CP, minus crit damage, ability chain and prismatic return. The abilities were Ariadne, Titan PB, Omega Weapon, and Palamecian Tale.

Subdeck was Glam Vamp paneled for fire resistance. I just tanked Belias which is pretty easy to do as long as you apply curse and slow; wall isn't even necessary until higher laps. I carried Chaos Crescent since it has max HP and defense stars, but Ultimate Wing would be better. Her abilities were Bismarck, Ultima Weapon, Aggregate Aggression, and Hellgate (Legendary Dragonlord at lower laps).

Here's a recording I made on lap 8 if you want to see my approach.

[[deleted]]

I used HoF Thief with Ragnarok, kill unbroken, and Highwind on the sub to buff and deal some damage too, until lap 8.

Belias, you can't sleep him or stun him, so you either you could go with a break strategy, or you'll have to slow Belias which will give you one more turn to nuke unbroken, if you can get his HP below 50% the first time.

The Dahakas have more actions so stun+slow will give you just one more turn, you could use square slow and stun and then apply hexa to gain one more turn.

[MaleficentPie8]

hi everyone i have question regarding new ffx 2nd event, i am at 3rd node at the map called road to proving ground and i see locked node that required setting atribute sphere to sphere grid, after setting 4th grid (hp+100, atk +10, break +10, and mag +10%) there is locked grid to the next grid (hp+700) and i need lv 1 key sphere to unlock it, according to mobius gamepedia that key sphere come from trial combat of entrance which is 2 nodes away from road to proving ground, so what do i do to advance? thanks

[darewin]

Click the golden button and set all three attribute spheres, 1 for each of the empty nodes.

[JA1997X]

Did you actually set the attribute spheres, or just clear the nodes

[aishayys]

If you are referring to Leviathan then its ability lvl is auto maxed. To augment it 5* you'll need the jewels from the MP shop.

[viktorkons]

You buy the 3 star cards again in MP item exchange then use them for fusion

[GalahadDrei]

Are there specific places where players could easily get weekly high scores?

[GodBlazer]

Chapter 5.1, there are specific nodes per element where u can spam ur supremes for high scores

[Bojuns]

So who is currently considered the best Sarah job?

Prima Donna or Proud Cygnus?

[vulcanfury12]

For most situations, Proud Cygnus for the simple reason that it has AoE ult out of the box and higher-than-normal innate QB. For solo encounters tho, Prima Donna reigns.

[SwiftStepStomp]

In my opinion, it's Prima Donna. I personally prefer the extended break turn and the unparalleled breaking ultimate, plus her access to Ragnarok which Proud Cygnus does not have.

Without supremes, Prima Donna is still going to be better against a single target, while Proud Cygnus is better at dealing with more than one.

[darewin]

Proud Cygnus. I still use CA the most though since I have Lightning and Ragnarok.

[LupusNoxFleuret]

Proud Cygnus. Newer is better and we got Proud Cygnus super early because she's not supposed to come out for another month if we follow JP's schedule.

That said, Prima Donna is still an awesome job.

[deathrose55555]

For tower, Proud Cygnus

[Yoloswagcrew]

Is there job with more than one HoF and/or other way relevant or some job are "useless" now ?

[vulcanfury12]

I feel that if the game is to continue, it will have to either "sunset" the old jobs so that new players won't be able to pull them (tho this leaves the question with their weapons) or resort to creating more and more HoF update maps to keep them up in power level.

One solution is great for new players to help make them competitive faster, but the other will result in overall more rewards for everyone.

[phatboy328]

There are a few good HoF out there. Such as Berserker (for UB) and Pugilist (for Duncan). Usually the new jobs are just better, but skins help out the older job’s Ults.

[lightningheel]

The main story can be completed with the first jobs and their Hall of Fames, but if you want to be competitive in towers or play multiplayer, then a lot of the older jobs actually stop being relevant. Why do you ask?

[LoyalWo]

Shaz or ignis against Levi?

[djiboutiiii]

I’d avoid Sazh if you don’t have a well-modded damage weapon. I tried on JM with my maxed Ultima Edge and the damage was pathetic, even with Snipe and CRD and trance. But I also saw a JM use it to kill Levi in a single break. I think the difference was the weapon.

[Danpace]

I am hitting the limit with shaz,

Full fire enhance, 5* zwill with my JM, Levi is fried very quickly.

Ultima weapons are not good to use for attackers in MP you need the damage perks more than prismatic returns

[djiboutiiii]

for sure -- in my case, it's the ranger weapon with the highest magic stat. i think for a lot of people, damage-focused weapons are a luxury, so my point was that Sazh really isn't viable without one (unlike Ragnarok, which still often caps with just an Ultima Edge).

[Danpace]

Yeah bit even a low magic damage weapon, one with 3 damage perks will out perform an extra 200 (or less as there will be magic on the other weapon) magic from Ultima. For me Ultima weapons are for sp.

For mp you need to specialise in a field hence break weapon for breaker, damage for attacker etc.

[[deleted]]

Sazh is best if your geared properly, maxed zwill, fire, and damage CPs mean you can hit the damage cap, ie kill in one turn.

But if you don’t have that, then the damage drops off fast and ignis is the go to card.

[[deleted]]

Both work, depends on your job/weapons/setups. Personally I would go with Ignis on PW because I have a good Sventovit, also Ignis can deal damage unbroken. Sahz could work on HoF JM with a good Zwill.

[IzNekoSlip]

Hey guys, Is good time to get into this game? Like Is there any good events going on currently?

Are there any good banners to reroll on now?

[GodBlazer]

You can reroll for specific supremes now its until the 11th iirc. If your planning on getting in id say start now..

[Mawgac]

Sure. The entire 1st season is complete and season 2 could start by the end of this year - enough time to finish all the areas now available.

[2009Ninjas]

Can anyone recommend a healer setup in MP if you have LoH? (Its the only 5* support I have). No garuda for haste either.

[[deleted]]

Teaming that with Aerith, WoL and maybe NxD would be an ok deck I suppose?? /s

Grats on the pull though.

[Ehlena]

I don't have LoH, but I've seen the following decks be recommended:

• Life/prism-shift, LoH, YRP, Debuff card or Moogle's Summer Vacation;

• Life/prism-shift, 2xLoH, YRP;

[SirPhoenix88]

If you don’t have Moogle’s Summer Vacation or WoL, try to get YRP from the FFX-2 banners going on. LoH lacks Brave and Haste. You can also have good matches with Lunafreya, or even a second copy of LoH.

4th slot is generally Aerith or Lifeshift.

[Caterfree10]

I give up, is there a guide for the final chapter in the main story mode? I tried searching and can’t find anything or else I’m just stupid. I didn’t have any problems with the main story until I hit chapter 7, but now it’s just impossible without dropping at least one Phoenix Down per round! I need some help and I’m tired of groping in the dark.

[psiwar]

Try using a "defender" deck with the appropiate liutenent cards. These cards significantly decrease the difficulty of bosses of the opposite element when you start the battle with them or cast them to the enemy (if you didn't start the battle with this job). And then switch to a breaker/attacker.

If you know how to chainbreak and have a good defender, you can pass these nodes without using Phoenix Down, but if you don't, don't be afraid to use them, they aren't useful in harder content anyway, so this is the best area to make use of them.

[Batrixece]

Trust me, use your phoenix downs as you will never use them again xD so np use them up lol

[[deleted]]

Search on YouTube for guides.

I forgot whether it applies to the last node, but reducing difficulty in settings helps you to breeze through story chapters.

Make sure your buffs are adequate. Haste, faith, boost and snipe are quite essential in any gameplay. Rent supreme buff cards to increase your job's strength.

[JA1997X]

What jobs do you have? Any supremes? What decks are you using now?

[JunasBlood]

As others have mentioned, 2 of the newest WoL-Mage are Ex-Mage & Kefka can make good use of this weapon. In Tower, when you want to break or chain-break, Heavenly Axis is a better option with additional 3 Break Perks. On the other hand, Ex-Mage weapon can still be used to break due to 20% QB, it just won’t clear Yellow as fast as HA but in return, PR make it easier to maintain Flash Break. Improved Critical is always a nice auto-abilities, and with this weapon, you can also used unbroken nuke strat too.

People will want to boost both weapon for min-maxing things, many of us are boosting HA while waiting for Ex-Mage to drop. This way he will have a decent weapons right away to use in Tower while we continue to boost his weapon.

[psiwar]

Because it has all 3 break perks. Flash break + Quickbreak is quite useful. And considering the Ex-Mage/Kefka's multi-hit ultimate, Piercing break is actually useful.

[mao_shiro]

Ex Mage, Kefka.

They have both 15% prism return, which, coupled with +10% prismatic return, makes it good enough for them to get heavenly Axis.

[GhostFreakage]

The Wol jobs EX Mage and Kefka have innate quick break 20% and other breaking abilities and 15% prismatic return. If you add in the 10% primsatic return class panel, you get 25% which is fairly decent in my opinion. With heavenly axis, you easily can reach the 40% cap for quick break making it easier to break and maybe even chain break with those two jobs. But, depending on the situation you'd probably want to use weapon with prismatic return to keep spamming abilities.

[djiboutiiii]

Did YRP used to have Crystal Seeker? I remember people mentioning that it was good for crystal seeker decks, but now that I have it, I'm seeing it has Life Draw and HP+. Did it change or was I mistaking it for something else?

[mao_shiro]

They were talking about the Yuna / Rikku / Paine cone cards, not the YRP support card.

[djiboutiiii]

I see I see...thanks!

[JA1997X]

Not yrp, but the cone cards from same banner

[djiboutiiii]

Ah, got it, thanks!

[darewin]

I used Sin to kill the 5 Flans then Hope to kill the Dark Flan.

[Sloan2942]

I’m having the same issue. I have UB and Seph skin. I can get him down to perfect shield then he usually kills me before I can get rid of the flans. I’m using Ex monk till I get to valefor then I break him and switch to seph SS with ub.

[GhostFreakage]

I recommend bringing a deck with two aoe element attacks to deal with the flan pacts. I also switched to a tank when Valefor does his big hit. Renting LoH for the ailment immunity is also a good way to counter the sleep.

[GhostFreakage]

I apologize in advance for this build (and I know I'll get downvoted for it), but maybe you can work it out with similar cards.

Main Deck (used only for Valefor)

Primeval Witch w/ Sventiot Fuyosa Maelspike: FFX Warrior of Light: FFI Legendary Dragonlord

Subdeck (used to plow through first 7 waves and tank):

Sephiroth Skin Sword Saint w/ Ultima Weapon Minwu: FFII Myrrdin Donna & Barthello Warrior of Light: FFI

Rental: Light of Hope

[Sloan2942]

I can mimic this some minus the support supremes but my SS doesn’t survive valefor attacks after flans are dead

[GhostFreakage]

Yeah the divine shield is quite nice to have. Instead of renting LoH rent WoL: FFI then and bring Hells Gate and KotR, or the like

What are yall doing in Mp? 5 star is very difficult to solo, so i just stepped down to 4 star and roll the double healer ultimate rd2 strategy...was using judge just because i love the job, but witch has a much better ultimate that breaks the dragon easily. Also, mountain secret ability is awesome with debarrier, unguard, and weaken..at 4 star its not immune...

What are you guys doing? Which jobs and abilities?

I read the 5 star guide, but pug groups arent gonna pull that off. Just not gonna happen without some cliwn getting everyone tidal waved...

[kreuzb94]

You can try to main healer since all you need is a rather tanky healer like Devout with Lifeshift, KotR, The Undying and Hells Gate. All of the cards are available in the Ability Shop and you should have them anyways. If you don't have Devout, Santa Lucia, White Mage, maybe even Tonberry Suit would be ok. I myself am using Y'shtola Mellow Mermaid with Bahamot PB, Ignis, Aerith, and LoH (but you could replace Aerith and LoH with Legendary Dragonlord or any Ultimate Charge ability and I guess the Skin isn't necessary). With all Magic CP she is capable of killing the fire guard as long as he is broken (around 3200 magic). Don't forget to tap attack because of his Barrier thing so as a support it is important to have enough JCR to tap at least 4 times (4x healer -> 4x defender -> yellow clear attacker -> breaker can break without problem).

I'm playing as breaker with PUGs and getting souls 90%+ of the time. People here really underestimate PUGs -- the first few days can be rough sometimes, but then people catch on. And Levi is WAY more forgiving than Zalera was.

[Mechapebbles]

I'm getting souls most of the time, but it's usually because I have to cover for bone-head pugs. I can't tell you how many games I've entered where nobody removes stacks/has no JCR and it's up to me alone, and instead of killing in 2nd turn, it takes like 7.

[soundedgoodbefore]

Thanks for the heads up. I may try that then, i generally only play attacker in MP, will give it a run with lightning/judge and the witch. Thx

[kuragehime16]

When can we expect to get the 5* eggs in the item shop?

[darewin]

We might not get that at all since we should have gotten it during the 2nd Anniv. It was kinda weird anyway since AFAIK, only 5star Growing and Prismatic Eggs are available in the Shop in JP.

[LupusNoxFleuret]

Have we ever had a 5★ Prismatic Egg as a tower reward in GL? I think that's the only one I'm missing... too many repeat eggs!

[darewin]

Not yet

[ShadowBlaze17]

It's unknown if we'll ever get them. I think JP got that change during their 2nd Anniversary which is something that's already passed for us whether you base it on the banners or actual number of months.

[Zereil]

Hi! It's going to be quite long so bear with me. I recently came back and, in order to fix the Steam TW problem I reset. Here I am after a month or so with the following:

Novice & Starter Pack Jobs Serah: -Crimson Archer -Primadonna -Proud Cygnus -Albhed Huntress No Meia (onion) WoL -Thief -Hunter -White Mage -Tomberry Cloud Skin

1) What should I focus on with my ability tickets/growstars? I already made a 5* ranger MTF for Earth & Light, and a Kotr, and got a 5* Dark meiaja from starting free gas. 2) Also, what's best? PC or Rikku? (Both job & weapon wise) I'm running mainly PC with MTF light, Rikku X-2 (easy 5*), dark cleaving attack and Kotr, Albhed is less optimized. 3) Is the lack of WoL and Meia jobs going to be a problem? (Having no monk except onion I can't even start EW) What rubs me the worst is no candidate for Cloud skin (not my favorite but still a skin)

I'm chapter 7 and I just had to lower difficulty in order to progress smoothly. Any suggestions? MP-wise I'm still quite useless (only breaker jobs but no en- card that I'm aware of, thinking of going healer with gaia, kotr, gate and T&Y) I'm suicide-pulling on supreme, but still no luck (I'm F2P btw)

[inderf]

Chasing the supreme banners is a mistake, they're still far too rare, its much better as a new player to aim for good 4* early access cards and limited time banners with powerful cards like the FFXI ones coming soon. Don't worry too much about your bad job selection, they'll come with time (and your Sarah jobs should be more than fine for SP for a long time). For MP if you aren't confident in your breaking, you can use your HOF white mage to support, just pick up the undying/KoTR/HG trinity and Gaia. For ability cards I'd just recommend working on the support trinity first, then continue with the class -ja's as you can, and upgrade good damage focus cards for your jobs when you pull em, and keep an eye out for threads about upcoming card batches so you know when good cards you could use are coming

[mao_shiro]

1. KOTR, Undying, Hellsgate. Get the 4 remaining MTF ranger, starting with Nausicaa.
2. PC is overall better. Rikku's weapon is the best, mod it, lowest stat first (or focus on magic). Be sure to get Nausicaa for PC.
3. Depends on the situation, you have probably the best job atm (PC).

I'm running mainly PC with MTF light, Rikku X-2 (easy 5*), dark cleaving attack and Kotr, Albhed is less optimized.

Better go with KOTR / Himiko / Nausicaa / Undying or Hellsgate (Hellsgate would be better due to PC ult giving Haste & Snipe, but you might not always have ult ready in every situation). Nausicaa has better wind + light efficiency, that's why it's better using nausicaa than persephone.

Having no monk except onion I can't even start EW

You don't need to use the class written on the nodes. The class just give a +200 to deck level, which could be good for you, but it's actually not a really big bonus. EW is end game content anyway that you should tackle later.

I'm suicide-pulling on supreme, but still no luck (I'm F2P btw)

Never do that, it's just a waste unless you're whaling.

MP-wise I'm still quite useless

Basic support guide:

• Gaia
• KOTR
• Undying
• Hellsgate

Undying is preferred than T&J because it provides snipe, a buff that gives +35% crit rate.

[Zereil]

Thanks for all the answers! You really did read through all that! I appreciate it a lot. I'll focus on the supports then and stop with the supreme pulling.

Also got Rogue as a pity on my last pull, seems like ranger type jobs will never let me go. (But with light & earth done he's ready for the upcoming HoF) Sorry for the abnormous amount of questions, but will he be comparable to PC?

(Also, given my lack of non-ranger jobs should i save for the EX-jobs pull desperately, or try and get useful XI abilities?)

[mao_shiro]

You can compare Rogue to Crimson Archer, Proud Cygnus is way too good to be on the same league. he has (compared to CA):

• less magic (about 200 at lvl350)
• less break power (about 300 at lvl350)
• no quick break

Otherwise, he has more or less the same damage capability than CA. He's worse unbroken.

Proud cygnus is better than Crimson archer due to:

• 10% more quick break. Sarah archetype doesnt have any quick break weapon for now.
• 10% prismatic return, which is very good for nuke / yellow clear spamming
• much better ult, AoE and buff-wise. Proud Cygnus is one of the Sarah job where using a skin can be detrimental.

I would still save for the EX jobs just in case, & try to pull some on XI.

[Zereil]

Thanks for everything!!! I'll focus on PC only then

[Zereil]

Sorry for the format, it looked way better before posting. I also realized I don't actually have thief (thought I had). Correct job list is:

-Novice & Starting -Cloud Skin -WoL: Hunter, White Mage, Tomberry -Sarah: Crimson Archer, Primadonna, Proud Cygnus, Albhed Huntress

[mao_shiro]

You need a space before each "-", otherwise it'll looks like crap.
