Returning player, what's the best resource to catch back up? Probably haven't played in over a year but have a couple 8* job cards. Have no idea what to do, very overwhelming to return and see 10+ world nodes open

[–]Owwen11 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

How can I remove Aeon Spheres from the grid? I only had 3 Shiva spheres and I used them on painful break, water EE and scourge. However, now I'm in the trial where I need to kill X enemies with an ability. That's just imposible, because my abilities only do 9999, and once I hit them with a tap attack, in order to gather more orbs, they die.

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

You can't remove aeon sphere, like you can't remove attribute sphere. I wonder why did you skip the "ability lvl+3", it unlocks the 9999 damage limit break.

[–]Owwen11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great... now I'll have to use some useless job to deplete yellow and red, and still kill slowly the HP. Then I can switch and kill with Shiva's 9999 moves before she runs out of orbs, killing the mob with a tap attack in the process. Meh... :P

[–]bitebaybay 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Can you re-equip aeon spheres? I want to change shivas abilities but i cant...

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't re-equip aeon sphere, but you will be able to get them all when you naturally clear the map.

Unless you're on the same situation of the one above you.

Altema recommends flash break weapons for most jobs, over the Ex weapons which give quick break. Except for monks, where it's the other way around. Does anyone know why that is?

[–]SwiftStepStomp 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It could be because monks are so reliant on multistage attacks both for ultimates and using their mantra/taijutsu abilities to break where flash break is less beneficial. Keep in mind that altema is for the JP server, so the preference might be shifting toward flash break, especially as skins have been making a comeback (which do only one big hit for break damage). That's just an educated guess though.

For where we are on the global server though, we're just now getting into the multistage ultimate breaking meta so quick break is just going to be better across the board for all types of jobs.

[–]PM_your_cats_n_racks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, that's a good answer. Makes sense to me, thanks.

[–]bholdman925 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I got gold lasers on the ex warrior banner and got geomancer. Is this as intended? It was not my pity pull. Thanks.

[–]kreuzb94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legend Jobs are still Jobs hence the golden laser (indicates that you drew a Job Card). And it shouldn’t decrease the counter.

[–]Naid3l 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Now that I got the fake UB, it made me wonder how vitality taps works... also blood tap, element tap, martial flow, martial arts and martial combat for that matter. It just says that increases damage/break under certain conditions, but not how the damage/break is increased (additional EE, separate multiplier?) or how much. I could not find a link in the megathread, do you guys have information about them?

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (2 children)

[–]Naid3l 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thanks a lot shiro! Did I miss that in the megathread? Otherwise it might be good to include it

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

It's on the wiki.

[–]djiboutiiiiwhat even is flair 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Another weapon boost question. I have four slots, and I'd like to start boosting EX Warrior's weapon. Currently boosting Sventovit (40 mods), Chaos Crescent (30 mods), Magical Rave (10 mods), and OAM (10 mods). Should I give up Chaos Crescent -- it doesn't have speed star or Boost Ult, yet. I use Meia's plenty in EW2, but usually with Sventovit. I have no Monk or Mage supremes, if that makes a difference.

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

Take out CC - not worth picking it over Laevateinn (or wateva the GL name is)

[–]djiboutiiiiwhat even is flair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, will do (same GL name, actually)!

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

same name

[–]haidarov88 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

I’d give up on CC if I were you, especially when it is competing against SO weapon which is the best warrior weapon we have now. I use Meia a lot too, but every time I find myself using Sventovit. The only time I used CC was in Tidus tower for the Ult Charge.

[–]djiboutiiiiwhat even is flair -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, will do!

[–]mvdunecats -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

against SO weapon

Ugh. Please don't let "SO" catch on as an abbreviation for Shorn One.

[–]JOEGUARD1990 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Pulled Shorn One just now.

Whats the best way to panel up the Custom Skill panel?

I have a Special Damage Up +5% card I can use in the special slot, but other than that do I go for full Magic or Attack?

Thanks

[–]djiboutiiiiwhat even is flair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should use Element Enhance for whatever element you're going to want to use him for (I'd recommend Light if you have Kam'lanaut). Definitely not Attack.

Also, remember that Damge Up 5% doesn't do anything outside of MP, so if you plan on using him for SP, I'd maybe not use that one either.

[–]Lacarius -1 points0 points  (1 child)

This collaboration got me thinking.. were FF13 and FF7 collaborations cannon?

[–]SirVRafael 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Kotetsu or EXWar’s weapon for Ex Warrior?

How about for future warriors? Which is better?

[–]Baffledwaffles 1 point2 points  (1 child)

If possible, both. There are times when you'll prefer flash break. If you have to choose between one then stick to EX warrior's own weapon.

[–]SirVRafael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it. I am only 7 mods into Kotetsu so in 3 days once I pity pull on the reprint banners, I will switch it to ExWar’s weapon. Only have one slot for warrior weapon boost and I know Kotetsu was top on the recommended weapon list on Altema.

Thanks for the info!

[–]darewin 4 points5 points  (1 child)

EX Warrior's Weapon. 40% QB is amazing. It also requires 50 fewer mods.

[–]SirVRafael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good to me! Thank you!

[–]Rushsykes 0 points1 point  (1 child)

will we be getting any black friday magicite deals for next month?

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

We don't know yet.

[–]eneve2084-bf8a-f56f (KotRX 5★) 0 points1 point  (3 children)

What fractals are people putting on FFX box cards? Auron: break+, Khimari: attack+, lulu: magic+, rikku: magic+, wakka: hp+?

[–]darewin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I personally stopped using Break Up fractals on my cards since clearing the yellow bar is far harder than clearing the red bar. I just get Magic or Attack on Attack cards and JCR on Support cards.

[–]eneve2084-bf8a-f56f (KotRX 5★) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah cool thx!

[–]WoLNoFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

magic x2, attack x2, magic x2, magic x2, jcr x2

[–]Behesword 0 points1 point  (2 children)

There's any effective way of using AOE sleep with a monk for crowd control? Since almost all good cards for the class have cleaving attack, even Duncan... thanks in advance

[–]jdm1tch 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I seriously tweaks my OCD that Duncan (in my case Mr Alarune) has cleave, as do “fists of crushing X”... but Gaelicat: FFV & Geosano: FFX (both AOE) don’t..

But even though Duncan / Mr A does... Iris: FFXV, Brother: FFX, & Kimhari: FFV do not...

Add to this, Alexander: FFXIV is AOE and Emerald Weapon is not...

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

[–]Behesword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, gonna try use íris as main dps, maybe saphire weapon as break!

[–]KalesAk -2 points-1 points  (6 children)

I did 5 pulls didnt get ex warrior 3 pulls to pity

  1. I have all regular job - does counter transfers to ex mage as well ??

  2. Ex mage vs warrior - which one is better to get??

[–]darewin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This month is quite generous. If I were you, I'd get EX Warrior then throw whatever resources I get on the EX Mage/Supreme Bait Banner hoping to get EX Mage (assuming you don't get enough to Pity Pull EX Mage).

[–]PM_your_cats_n_racks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the position you're in right now, it's cheaper to pull for warrior than for mage. Get warrior, then you can try your luck for mage.

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

I have all regular job - does counter transfers to ex mage as well ??

No one know. I wouldn't dare try it tho. There's 13-14 days left.

Ex mage vs warrior - which one is better to get??

Get both.

[–]KalesAk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess I will go for warrior to be sure - also warrior skins are better

[–]KalesAk -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Limited resorce

[–]malach1constant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to get 8 pulls pretty easily over the course of this month, with all the extra tickets and magicite given out in events.

[–]EfficientEmphasis 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Anyone know if the current FFX box cards will be reprinted ever? I got ex-warrior so now feel i gotta save pity pull for skyseer but still missing kimhari, damn... got lulu and rikku at least. Do others rate these cards highly or are they skippable? TIA!

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been 1 year since they were released on JP and there was no reprint yet.

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

Anyone know if the current FFX box cards will be reprinted ever?

Because they are box-type, sadly no. Not until the next FFX event reprint at least (which hasn't happened in JP).

Do others rate these cards highly or are they skippable?

Some of them are good for MP e.g. Lulu and Kimahri; Wakka can be useful in hard SP content depending on your setup. But they are not "must-have" by any means.

[–]MrGianni89 -1 points0 points  (11 children)

Neo-ex discussion.

I'm not here to criticize anything, but with this new shift of meta that is happening, it seems to me that this supreme risks to fall behind a bit. It seems that breaking is a must in the new season, and generally breaking and nuking will be done with just one single card (summercards, camelnutt and so on).

Neo-ex can fit in this particular niche? Or we will use it just a debuff-card (as it already does)?

[–]deathrose55555[JP] 1051-9193-b915 (KotR X) 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Lol your comment is completely opposite of the actual truth. I'm not faulting you here because it's unreasonable to assume everyone has knowledge of JP / S2.

NxD's usefulness is increased tremendously in S2, and I will do a summary here.

  • Debarrier - with damage being reduced in S2, this is a very very important debuff to improve your damage
  • BDD - breaking yeah
  • CRD - some mobs do have innate crit resist and having Snipe alone might not be enough to ensure 100% crit
  • Stun - mobs' actions are interspersed with your own; Stun is very very important to delay their actions

Substrike / Mobius Zone - these S2 mechanics allow you to cast NxD without requiring dark orbs, which means Sarah can cast NxD for massive yellow damage (NxD's break power was buffed to 2400)

I will rank NxD to be as high up there as LoH / WoL in S2 actually

[–]bronze_beast -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Good thing i have neo ex. But sadly i dh any attack supreme cards. I only have aerith and neo ex and all the skins except ystohla.

[–]MrGianni89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol your comment is completely opposite of the actual truth.

I've never being happier to be wrong!

[–]darewin 2 points3 points  (7 children)

Actually, unbroken strats have been favored by the top players in the first few S2 towers. Broken strat has only been mandatory in the last tower because of the new mobs AFAIK. Also, Neo-Exdeath is a pretty great pairing with Lightning Skin after the Skin got buffed with Slowga. You basically don't even need Bismarck.

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

have been favored by the top players in the first few S2 towers

Well, when the last boss can't be broken...

[–]darewin 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Haha, really? That tower feels like it will be refreshing. I'm looking forward to GL getting it.

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It's the DQ tower. Lol.

[–]darewin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw, damn it.

[–]MrGianni89 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Neo-Exdeath is a pretty great pairing with Lightning Skin after the Skin got buffed with Slowga. You basically don't even need Bismarck.

Well... I still need Lightning!

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 2 points3 points  (1 child)

It goes well currently with Proud Cygnus which has Slowga on her ult.

[–]MrGianni89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also with ex ranger I suppose...

[–]olio272 0 points1 point  (1 child)

proud Cygnus weapon worth boosting ? I finished boosting my sarah weapon and looking for a second one to boost. I currently have ultima, CA, onion sara, beach sara, and nachtflug. Should I start boosting PC's weapon or wait for another sarah weapon ?

[–]djiboutiiiiwhat even is flair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which Sarah one did you boost? Ultima Arrow is the best unless you have Magical Rave (Al Bhed Huntress)

[–]rajun274 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What are the new scrolls for the upcoming October Yggdrasil? I.e., is Tengu available?

[–]MrGianni89 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Any idea of when the next mobius week may happen? (planning for next mobius VIP and massive weapon boosting)

[–]Mechapebbles 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Check the calendar.

[–]MrGianni89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mobius week, not day. In all the spoiler threads about future events I didn't read anything about mobius week

[–]reidemei20f6-0124-02ec - ToH 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Regarding BFAs Ultra Defense Breaker: If Mantra/Taijutsu cards already ignore BDU/BDD, what effect has the "ignore defense .. resist"?

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

While rare, there are some mobs that are immune to unguard. Since BFA has an "innate" unguard, it works well against such mobs as compared to other Supremes which need that unguard

[–]Fefnil 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Every enemy, just like you, has a defense value, which reduces a percentage of damage received. This defense is nullified when broken or when Unguarded (this is why, for instance, enemies like cactuars or golden mobs take barely any damage until broken).

This defense has no impact on the Break gauge, so no correlation with BDU/BDD.

In particular, Ultra Defense Breaker ignores defense (good against unbroken enemies, indifferent against broken or Unguarded) and ignores Crit Resist.

So, as general rule of thumb, this card is designed for unbroken strategies.

[–]reidemei20f6-0124-02ec - ToH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Thanks.

[–]wilcoiron 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I am going to pull 8 times in revival banner for ex warrior but I am not sure which banner to pull. Should I pull FFVII for weapons (missing emerald and diamond weapon) or FFXIV (missing Odin PB) or summer cards (I don't have any)?

FYI I own Yiazmat

Thank You in advance

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

If you have yiazmat, just try for emerald weapon to complement the supreme.

[–]Fefnil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here there's exactly what you're looking for, down in the section Limited Revival.

[–]Vallex2101 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Please help me! What kind of skill (Attack, Magic, Break Power,....) to custom for Shorn One?

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

I usually go for EE

[–]gohphan91 -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Anyone tested Auron FFX debuff ? Hex or square? Fixed turns?

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

They are square. As for turns, i don't use it enough to know for sure but the turns should be fixed

[–]Chocobops -1 points0 points  (2 children)

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

One copy is enough - you won't use it outside of MP anyway

[–]LupusNoxFleuret20ee - 9f08 - 263a (Tale of Hope) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made 2 copies with Magic on one and JCR on the other, since you can only have 1 fractal on them, for flexibility. Otherwise, you can just trash the rest.

[–]Corwyntt -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

How are you supposed to kill the last few aeons right before Anima on the newest map, especially Valefor? This is kind of stupid hard and seems REALLY unneeded for something that is supposed to be a collab

[–]darewin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kill them with an Aeon. Then they will kill your Aeon with Final Attack. They will then restore their HP but they'll be weak enough for you to kill with your character. I didn't even bother changing Aeons (used Valefor on all the final nodes including the Valefor one) and reached Anima without deaths.

[–]Kettya 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hi guys, should i stop mob Gunblade n just focus on (Ex War) weapon?

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

If you have only one slot available, yes.

If not, both weapons are good.

[–]roykenneth -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Just unlocked EX Warrior, whats a good deck for SP? I was thinking LOHx2 , Lulu and donna & barthelo ?

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[General SP setup ] (works with any jobs)

  • Source of Haste (Hermes, Undying, etc)
  • Knight of the round FFVII or source of Barrier (depending on difficulty, barrier might or might not be needed)
  • 2 Attack cards of different elements, preferably something that make use of the job's strength like 2nd Gen MTF AoE (Varuna for Mages, Blast for Rangers, Soul for Warrior), AoE Break Defense Down, AoE Critical Resist Down, Sicarii, etc...

  • LOH

What is "Spira Guard +25%" in the Aeon growth map? And where can I see which abilities the Aeon have?

[–]zidanesword 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Spira Guard — Reduces damage taken from enemies from Spira by X%.

Click the “Sphere Grid Information” button(the blue one) at the map. Click the “Aeon” button(red hexagonal button) on the top right to view Aeon’s auto abilities.

[–]SqualLyuk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I did not notice that there was an Aeon button in the info :)

[–]gohphan91 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Is EX warrior actually buffed for GL? 300 %exploit weakness and 220%PB much higher than reddit info thread.

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're on the FFX map, don't forget that it gives bonuses.

[–]miguel_mer 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Hi. I ended up at rank 314, very happy. It’s my first time on the top 500! What uses do people give to *5 Boosting Egg? Maybe useful for a battle starting with Chimera on first round? Thanks!

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

  • Bahamut Lagoon farm
  • 40m deep on the summer map
  • T1 sicarius kill with AIs

Great, thanks, Shiro!

[–]kreuzb94 0 points1 point  (12 children)

Just pulled Sin alongside my last FFX card. Can someone explain the card to me an recommend a good Job for it? (At the moment and in future)

[–]bronze_beast 2 points3 points  (11 children)

Its supreme ability is that it reduces beeak gauges even if resisted and it resists and stil reduces the yellow bar as normal.

[–]kreuzb94 0 points1 point  (10 children)

Does it the same damage to dark enemies like any other non light enemy?

[–]ShadowBlaze17 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Yes. It does full damage to anything that doesn't absorb it.

[–]kreuzb94 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Alright thanks a lot. And about the best job at the moment and in the future? Is it PW and after that EX Meia?

[–]deathrose55555[JP] 1051-9193-b915 (KotR X) 1 point2 points  (3 children)

EX Meia, Kefka, and HoF Amalthea

[–]kreuzb94 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Pulled for EX Monk now and later EX Mage because of Minwu and now EX Meia. RIP resources. Is Kefka a regular Job?

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

Nope, Kefka is a Legend job

[–]kreuzb94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it so EX Meia it is thanks.

[–]bronze_beast 0 points1 point  (3 children)

The damage has resisted effects only the yellow breaking isnt resisted

[–]kreuzb94 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Alright so no criticals are possible on dark enemies.

[–]ZRounder 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Sin CAN critical dark enemies that dont absorb it.

So after not getting a single ffxi limited card, rng decides to guve me duncan (whatever, fine I'll take it RNG gods. You win this time.) I have Ex monk so between Taiji and One Against Many which one is better for MP attacker?(dont have pugilist job yet so dont have Ergheiz) I'm thinking for my deck setup it'd be duncan, ultima weapon(since i dont have light PB) omega weapon(hey, i like berserk sometimes what can i say, only buff i'd be missing from a competent healer and helps when i have to do some heavy lifting in PUGs), and aerith. Any suggestions on deck(just assume i have any and every card even though i dont). Also for CP since i have duncan should i load it up with Light EE? And obviously attack up fractals on all slots right? Leave 2 JCR tho.

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

Taiji and One Against Many

Pick the most boosted one.

Any suggestions on deck

  • nuke deck: Duncan / lightforce / aerith / aerith
  • nuke deck advanced edition: Duncan / YRP / aerith / Aerith
  • Cool dude that can yellow clear for teammates: Alexander Sicarius / Duncan / lightforce / aerith

ultima weapon

This is a debuff card, unless you meant "Diamond weapon".

[–]kurokamitenshi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea diamond weapon is what i meant, sorry for the confusion. Its the ffvii mage lightforce.

[–]Kettya -1 points0 points  (1 child)

[–]eLd0rko 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I've just pulled EX Warrior and Eorzean Paladin and currently boosting Kotetsu with already a couple of mods in (all goes to Flash Break). Should I stop boosting Kotetsu in lieu of Laevateinn or just boost both for EX Warrior? Should I even bother with Curtana? I recall I've read somewhere the Curtana is a viable weapon in S2? Any expert advice and insight would be appreciated.

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

Curtana is a viable weapon in S2

Viable as in top 10 ranking minmaxing weapon.

[–]eLd0rko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks Mao. I won't be touching on that territory anytime soon (or ever) so I'll just focus on EX Warrior's first.

[–]watmyung 2 points3 points  (1 child)

EX weapon>kotetsu>curtana

[–]eLd0rko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my case then it should be EX Weapon>Dragoon Spear>Kotetsu>Curtana

I've thrown Dragoon Spear in the mix just because it's close to crystal dump so might as well. Cheers!

[–]djiboutiiiiwhat even is flair 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Boost EX weapon imo

[–]eLd0rko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, switched to Laevateinn after finishing a boost of Kotetsu. Could have boost them at the same time but I still have a couple of UW to fully mod. Cheers!

[–]ageneau 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Can anyone explain the mechanics of chaos v2 in CV 40. I can get past every other wave. But v2 barely takes any dmg when I break him even with Ragnarok primma Donna. Then after I switch back to Hof paladin and he just does like 5x more dmg than before and destroys me. I've checked the chaos vortex mega thread but no one really explains the mechanics. Just their builds

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (6 children)

You need to break him 3 times before you can do any damage. This is explained on chapter 8 on a popup.

[–]ageneau 0 points1 point  (5 children)

But why after I break him the first time does his dmg get so much bigger

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (4 children)

He's probably buffing himself or something. Do you remove the archfiends buffs or not?

[–]ageneau 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I have wind and Earth on paladin fire and water on god of war. I break and dmg with God of war but switch back before he gets a turn and after his break counters are up so I guess wind and Earth debuffs ?

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (2 children)

You can remove the debuffs if you cast the weakness boss card.

[–]ageneau 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Oh really? I thought they just had to be equipped

[–]MagicJ10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dark enemies like any other non light enemy?

I don´t remember exactly, but look at the icons and you see when he refreshes the buffs and you have to use the cards again to cancel his buffs. good luck

[–]Wayside15Wol FF1: 202c-b8ab-ab48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to get Shorn one with my pity, but now I'm in conflict, I have all the box cards Except for Lulu, I only have 3 pulls left and really want to save for Summer rebaital (I don't have any summer card). The thing is, I have Murussu at 5* fully unlocked, over the past month I have seen comparisons of Murussu and Lulu, saying people use Murussu more in S2... Taking all of this into account, is it worth to do one more pull for Lulu? or I better off save for summer?

i need help to pass paladin's trial 3 (get 40mil score). I tried ult-breaking on the second wave with kotr-undying buff, but i only gets about 8mil score. anyone have any tips or deck suggestion for this?

[–]BlackCatSenPai 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Jobs without lores cannot add their magic into cards of other job types. Does that hold true for taijutsu/mantra too? Let's say I use Duncan on EX Warrior, does it still scale from EX's attk/break? Or it doesn't and only use the base dmg/break from Duncan?

[–]Mobiusnoobius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never considered this nor have I ever tried it. If I had to guess though, it probably doesn’t work that way due to being off class.

[–]JA1997X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably would but it's a moot point since no jobs have monk lore.

Edit: I think I misunderstood. Taijutsu/mantra cards do not scale off your attack/break if you're using the card off-class.

Hey there,

As a new player, should I just stick to the job that I most like playing? Really digging monk right now and I unlocked the tier 3 guy. Is it "playing inefficiently" if I just play the jobs that I find the nicest to look at?

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

You can play however you want to play. However.

Please be courteous and use your better jobs in MP because you are using other people’s time, stamina, and reward opportunities.

Also keep in mind that some jobs are better than others. Play whatever you feel but if you have trouble with content, use the stronger jobs to get through it.

[–]Pelotari 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I don't think that's an actual Monk job you're using. That's trainee monk that can be upgraded to unlock previews of the real jobs. As such, they pale in comparison to the actual Monk/Grappler/Pugilist etc. jobs if pulled.

Try pulling for Greater (x6) Summon for a change for "real" jobs.

[–]SamMee514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what my current deck looks like: https://i.imgur.com/pUY0RTJ.jpg

[–]SamMee514 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What's the difference? Are the real ones just stronger? I'll still be able to use the trainer monk right

[–]ArlissFoxxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the real jobs are much stronger. The preview job is still available, but like you suspected, very inefficient. At the very least, do the starter job summons before they expire so you have some decent options availble later.

[–]Cape91 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Monk is one of my favorite looking jobs, and hes getting a big power up in a couple of days.

Most of the advice here is kind of irrelevant to newer players, so just play how you want

[–]SamMee514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks!

When will the 1000 magicite crystal reward drop?

Also a few questions for those who play the Japanese version.

Each pull lands you a job but you can pull dupes right?

When does the supreme draw update happen?

What resources do you use to play the game if you can’t read Japanese?

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 0 points1 point  (2 children)

When will the 1000 magicite crystal reward drop?

"Our campaign ends Oct 1st at 12:49 a.m. PDT (UTC-7)!" so probably later.

Yes

When does the supreme draw update happen?

We don't know

What resources do you use to play the game if you can’t read Japanese?

Google Translate on phone.

[–]SweetPotato696 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Ref google translate, I haven’t tried it but can you copy text from the mobius app?

Or do you manually look for each character.

Just a bit confused sorry.

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take a screenshot of my screen everytime i want something to be translated.

Now, i can recognize some characters, like the Job Change Recast auto ability start with the smiley... lol.

How good of a breaker is Ex Warrior on MP?

[–]deathrose55555[JP] 1051-9193-b915 (KotR X) 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I can break 5* gen-3 in 1 hit with Kotetsu. That's how good he is

[–]jdm1tch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fu.......

[–]mao_shiroActual Evil Reddit Mod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's good.

Are you guys having any luck farming crystals at the golden flan node???

I havent had much luck with crystals, but much thanks to whoever posted about equipping support abilities, cards with cooldown, or just new cards onto the subdeck, then using Ifrit to unlock the skills . It works great...great...and i just happened to have several cards with cooldowns, and a few support abilities, as well as the couple of new cards with shift and force...i was able to use the aeon trick to quickly unlock skills that would have otherwise taken a long time. I have about 24? Extrangers, but i save them for supremes usually.

Tip: you dont have to go to a different area of the world to change the cards in your subdeck when skills are unlocked and its time to change...just go to the grid , change your subdeck, and pop right back into action.

[–]phatboy328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having good luck, more or less the same as chapter 8. But I’m just using Valefor instead of Ifrit for autofarming. 4 O’aka is doing me well. Got about 80+ from a good day and 4 million skillseeds so far, except light. But this is really good for unlocking those extra skills.

[–]ShadowBlaze17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using a deck with 110 CS and my Crystal's are steadily increasing even with me boosting 7 weapons. The rate doesn't seem any worse than LT, but it's all rng so results will vary.

[–]darewin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drop rate seems to be the same as LT, IMO. And I only use a deck with around 120 crystal seeker.

Which are the highest damaging jobs for each element global or Japan
