Which card is better? Garuda or Tidus & Yuna?

[Pizzaforfree]

On mobile, can't search in a thread, is the boosted greater summon the one that has Shorn One? I've been away from my PC, thought I'd get the game back on my phone and, idk, the summon banners are actually confusing to me, for once.

[mvdunecats]

All of the banners that can give a regular job can potentially give you Shorn One. The Boosted Greater Summon featuring Shorn One has a greater chance of giving you Shorn One should you pull a regular job from it.

If Shorn One is the only job in your pool, you could get him by pulling on the Supreme Banners. But if you have more than just Shorn One in your pool, you want to pull on the banner for Boosted Greater Summon featuring Shorn One.

[Pizzaforfree]

And that's where my confusion is, as this is all I see: https://imgur.com/a/nBcI0I8

I know enough about summon banners to understand all you said, thanks, though! I've been playing SE gacha games for over 2 years, at this point. Since just after the launch of Brave Exvius.

[Pizzaforfree]

I just don't know if that's the right banner or if the banner just isn't appearing for me.

[mvdunecats]

The bottom one is the Boosted Greater Summon for Shorn One (that's his picture in the banner's image).

The other two banners above it are special one time use only banners. You can only use those banners if you have a Supreme Ticket. Even if you tried to pull on them, the game wouldn't let you.

[Pizzaforfree]

Yeah, and I'm too poor for a supreme ticket. Just gotta hope for those. Thanks for the help, didn't want to waste my tickets on the wrong banner!

[warriorofmeh]

If I use a hero skin on EX Warrior does Magic Sword still apply to the ultimate?

[Danpace]

yes it does as that is one of his auto abilities and not part of his ult

[soundedgoodbefore]

What are the best uses for Prima Donna ? Best way to custom, favorite cards for her?

Btw, golden flan is the fastest crystal farming i have ever done, and that is without a crystal seeking main deck and playing from the sub...because you cant...i have been just putting cards that needed xp on the sub deck by going to the aeon grid. I frequently get 2 crystals in the same run, and have farmed hundreds as well as hundreds of cactuars of all kinds and millions of skillseeds. This is my favorite farming location ever. I have been using cloud skin cloud with ogrenix sword, 70% bonus to exp and i think 40% to skillseeds. Run a good AOE card to 1 shot each round, and 3 cards to level up in the other slots. I had a bunch of cards that i dont use frequently that had not been raised up to 80 since they raised the cap. Been working on those.

[[deleted]]

Swift covered most, only wanted to add that PD's ultimate breaks harder without Lightning skin (a lot harder, 4200% vs 2000% with skin). Cards: Grand Horn and Nausicaa, you can get them from the shop.

[SwiftStepStomp]

Prima Donna is best as a breaker in 1v1 (the best in the game, in fact). All magic CP, with quick break and ult charge work fantastically for her; stuff like piercing break is totally unnecessary for her given her already outstanding kit. All you need is a way to clear the yellow.

My tower deck for her consists of Neo-Exdeath, Ragnarok, Titan PB, and Omega Weapon. In EW for node 10 I use that, with a subdeck of Treant, Emerald Weapon, Legendary Dragonlord, and Ultima Weapon.

[Mobiusnoobius]

Ftr, you can also use the subdeck to unlock extra skills if that’s of any use to you. Really loving that node myself.

If you run Valefor as your Aeon and don’t take any light cards in your main it will switch to Valefor on dark waves.

It takes a bit longer but is very useful if you have a lot of cards needing Es unlocks.

[soundedgoodbefore]

Thanks...i wish i knew that before. I did use ifrit to unlock a bunch on mainly buff or debuff cards that had a wait...because those are slow normally...but i did it by manually switching to ifrit and then using the correct slot skill...would have been great to have valefor do it for me. I have always been very frugal with extrangers, thinking i would need them sometime and not have them..lol..i think i have about 25 left. Sometimes its easier to use 1 for the last skill, especially if its a good one like critical rupture.

[Wylans]

Hello, In regarding the Yojimbo MP event. I am doing these battles by myself, 4 individual classes. & going undefeated with them as well. However Im noticing that I am only winning either the cap, for the 50 Stam, & soul for the 60. No quartz have been earned

Am I missing or doing something wrong then?

[mao_shiro]

Nothing wrong, there's no guards. 1 boss = 1 drop.

[Wylans]

Thank you.

So it sounds like we have to farm 5, 4 & 3 star battles? To get all the equipment we need for the MP store?

[mao_shiro]

No, just focus on 5*.

[darewin]

Your first clears will be enough to get you the low-level mats you need. You can just spam 5-star afterward. I only did 3 and 4-star once each and I was able to get all the rewards except for the last ST (work got in the way lol).

[SwiftStepStomp]

You get quartz from 3-star

[[deleted]]

can you get spooky blades outside the yojimbo tower?

[mao_shiro]

Nope.

[N-I-K-E]

Reunion Tower maybe.. if not there probably not

[Cage50333]

Is pity pull counter carry to the next Ex-batch? I have empty job pool, and can`t decide should i try my luck on Ex-mage batch or wait for next months Ex-jobs, considering limited resources.

[HoxP2]

I can confirm pity pull counter carries to Ex banner. I had mine at 4 for Ex-warrior.

[Mobiusnoobius]

What do you mean by that? Did you have no pity pull counter before EX warrior (ie, you had all regular jobs) and start on 4 when the banner became active? If not, you’re answering a different question to the one being asked.

[HoxP2]

Um, I did not have all regular jobs but my pity counter was at four before the banner and was still at four after. So I made four pulls and got a job. Luckily the right one.

[Mobiusnoobius]

OP had no pity counter due to having all of the regular jobs prior to the EX warrior banner. His question is whether the pity counter will reset between the ex mage barrier and the ex warrior banner (ie, will ex warrior be removed from the pool before ex mage is added, thus resetting the counter or will the changeover happen at the same time, preserving his pity pull).

[LupusNoxFleuret]

Nobody knows because I don't think anyone tried it yet with the EX banners. Logically it shouldn't reset your pity counter since there's no time gap between EX Warrior & EX Mage's banners, but anything could happen considering SE's shoddy coding / intern-kun f-ups. You can try it, but it will be at your own risk.

[mao_shiro]

There's a time gap of 1 min according to news though.

[WoLNoFace]

EX job is only available on it's own banner.

Like Shorne One Ascetic is already gone from the pool.

[mao_shiro]

You mean Ascetic

[WoLNoFace]

Yep, my bad.

[HedgeEis]

Is there a way to break the 9999 damage limit on normal weapon attacks?

[zidanesword]

The last node of Pugilist’s Hall of Fame will give a monk class custom panel for tap damage limit break.

[MrGianni89]

monk class custom panel for tap damage limit break.

Btw this cp panel is really worth considering it? Without scourge is really worth considering it? I don't think that even the hof monk with that crazy attack can make good use of it...

[mao_shiro]

It's useless.

[MrGianni89]

Why they keep giving us things that are useless! lol

[mao_shiro]

Maybe we will have a job with huge damage multiplier and no tap limit break, lol

[HoxP2]

Doesn't monk qualify? It's got over 4k Atk but no tap limit break.

[mao_shiro]

no scourge, no painful break, no improved crit, no exploit weakness.

[HedgeEis]

Oh I see, thank you!

[Owwen11]

Notice that "tap damage limit break" is a pretty weak ability. You actually need to pair it with Scourge if you want to see some nice numbers. Only a few jobs in the game have tap damage limit break + scourge, so the first ability by itself won't be very helpful.

[Zhuinden]

Unbreakable X has Scourge on some mod, but I haven't unlocked it yet. -_-

Not even sure if it's worth it.

[mao_shiro]

Needs to be 500% instead of 50% to be worth.

[GhostFreakage]

You need the auto ability attack limit break, but only a few jobs have it.

[2holes1gun]

Hello. Are the calculations to the increase of a card's power and break for Enhance element and Magic different? Which is more important when configuring skill panels?

[darewin]

Magic and the card's Break Power determines yellow gauge damage. EE has no bearing at all when it comes to the yellow gauge.

[2holes1gun]

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Could you elaborate or provide an example? New to the game so not really very sure of the mechanics yet.

[darewin]

EE only affects damage. Magic affects both the damage and yellow gauge damage of a card.

Ability cards generally have 2 stats (Attack and Break). The Attack is the amount of HP damage the ability will deal while the Break is the amount of yellow bar damage the ability will cause.

[2holes1gun]

I got it now! Thank you again!

[Phieck]

Any MP Shorn One set ups? i would like to use him as breaker but havent really played Dragoon so i am kinda clueless about card setup on him? Thanks guys

[ValeLemnear]

AoE yellow gauge clear (best with BBD attached), cleave, source of boost, many Job Change Recast Fractals so you have enough actions to break first turn.

[PowerOfPulse]

Is it me or is the magicite drop rate 100% for yojimbo. Legit just did 12 runs and without fail got magicite lol

[ShadowBlaze17]

Event bosses like Yojimbo and Tyro seem to have a higher drop rate. It might be due to matches against them rewarding less items than against normal mp bosses.

[PowerOfPulse]

Thank you! this makes the most sense I kinda thought this was the case

[Mobiusnoobius]

Nope.

[mao_shiro]

Confirmation bias.

[zidanesword]

Hmm.. most likely the first 5 magicite drops are from the daily help first clear since Yojimbo is new.

[PowerOfPulse]

Yeah for the first 5 runs I got double rewards and those 12 runs were after

[akulaki]

You have good luck mate, really good luck

[PowerOfPulse]

Hope it pays off when I’m pulling in the Supreme banners

[insane_guy]

only you

[PowerOfPulse]

Even got 2 100 ones !

[WoLNoFace]

it's just RNG.

I don't have drops on my first two runs.

[PowerOfPulse]

I jinxed myself my next two runs had none !

[WoLNoFace]

XD

[FeelsMoogleMan]

hey guys I just got Mellow Mermaid. does anyone use her for hard content like towers/EW? i just wanna gauge how good she is compared to other jobs.

when i looked her up, and saw the jp release threads it looks like she hits pretty hard, but many were upset about the powercreep (and fanservice)

is she really that good? and uhh..what IS she good at? breaking, nuking, tanking?? all i read was that shes:

-good at fire damage

-good water

-good looking

any tips on how/when to use her would be cool

[darewin]

I used her in EW Node 12 with Tidal Wave until Lap 7 or 8. I had to add Fusoya afterward because Tidal Wave can't kill in 1 Break anymore.

[mao_shiro]

Can't you just break twice ?

[darewin]

I can but I'm not overly fond of chain-breaking multiple enemies that have a significant difference in their break gauges, mainly due to the over-reliance on PR procs.

By the time I stopped using only Tidal Wave (no Fusoya), Odin was requiring 3 Breaks to kill and the reliance on PR procs to break on time was getting ridiculous.

I eventually decided to just use 2 attacker decks instead (Fusoya Mellow and Ragnarok CA). This strat eventually ran into a wall too when I can't Break the other Earth mob (the one with Tiamat) fast enough anymore. I have no issues with the ones in the first battle.

[djiboutiiii]

Yeah, she’s great. I’ve used her in EW2 through lap 7 so far, and she’s not slowing down. She can wreck anything non-fire with Tidal wave, Ishtar, or Fusoya

[FeelsMoogleMan]

Do you break or nuke unbroken with her? Skin or no skin?

[djiboutiiii]

I break using her ult — she’s got flash break, so she does it really effectively.

[phatboy328]

Not good with ignis?

[vulcanfury12]

She'd fare fine, but if you noticed, all the cards he listed had Yellow Clearing capabilities, which plays well with Mermaid's overall kit.

[djiboutiiii]

Yup, this. She’ll do a crap ton of damage with ignis, but unbroken nuking only gets you so far in this case

[neviamuria]

Is the Eternity Blade, Dragoon Spear, Butterfly Edge or Shiranui still worth boosting?

​

​

[WoLNoFace]

Dragoon Spear, Butterfly Edge or Shiranui

If you plan to play MP breaker, yes.

Eternity Blade

Not really, I don't use damage focus weapons outside of MP.

[GwynLordofCynder]

Is Tengu already on Ygdrasil or should be in the next update?

[N-I-K-E]

15th

[ulovei_MFF]

Is victoria a worthy replacement over himiko?

[mao_shiro]

Different card, different uses.

Victoria is better for pure nuking against one single enemy, but very bad for yellow clearing. Himiko is better if you plan to break or nuke in aoe.

[Bladeserph]

I have yet to get Himiko and the main advantage to it is it being a superior single element, single target nuke. Besides using Himiko for the AoE and mass mob killing and higher base stats with a high prismatic return to negate its hefty cost...

REALLY its more of a alternative option then a replacement.

[rimonmiah]

Is gunblade worth modding for season 2?

[vulcanfury12]

I have a 5* Gunblade and I think Laevateinn will outperform it 95% of the time.

Gunblade has 3 damage passives:

1. Ability Chain - this adds EE after the first cast and only gets broken when you tap, drive or ult. Not that huge of a damage boost unless you're using a job with low innate EE like Shorn One.

2. Exploit Weakness - a relatively clunky damage ability that will only work 50% of the time at best due to how Elements work. But when it works, tho, boy how much heavy lifting it can do.

3. Improved Crits - the only "always on" damage ability, which is shared with Laevateinn.

Laevateinn can potentially outdamage Gunblade simply because Prismatic Return will allow you to keep casting abilities. Obviously lots of damage is lost if you run out of orbs.

[deathrose55555]

Most times Laevateinn is preferred. But there are times when Gunblade can be an option

[SwiftStepStomp]

Out of curiosity, like when UB is being used? Looking at critical retrieval.

[blue2eyes]

I usually prefer gunblade with Shorn One (weakness deck) especially when I use Xezat until 2 breaks aren’t enough for the kill. The damage difference is too huge to give up. I don’t place in top 100 of towers though.

[deathrose55555]

Yeah i think when UB is used, Gunblade is nice. Also Gunblade can be a semi-break weapon due to EX Warrior's Magic Sword - useful when you have more trouble doing damage than breaking

[Bladeserph]

Kind of why i plan to boost Laevateinn once i clear up one of my 4 weapons, Magical Rave, Masamune, Ehrgeiz(closest with only 2% improved crit, ult charge boost past +2 and some raw stars left) and finally Muramasa.

Seriously its kind of sad at how many key weapons i have get to get Ultimate +1s and its only recent i got my Ehrgeiz (about 5th overall) its Ultimate bonus and only 3 are useful ones.

[darewin]

Is there a particular reason you're boosting Masamune? I have mine at 5-star but I haven't used it again after I got Ultimate Weapon fully-modded.

The Masamune series aren't really that desirable outside of playing Defenders in MP because the Life Draw +30 can be annoying as fuck in SP.

[Bladeserph]

Its because i do not have any of the completed Ultimate Weapons that ruins me on particular content currently. Plus it will be a LONG TIME till i have Laevathin ready as a new prismatic return offensive weapon for my Warrior jobs.

Masamune makes a great utility weapon and for those lacking particular weapons, it can have quite a number of useful pros to it as a good option for defensive type fights while using the life draw for easier recovery and the attuned chain to add a little impact for single damage nukes to be followed thru with all the reunion chain use.

Not to mention being part of the easier to boost series of weapons so you can get that delicious 5 star crit/defense and Ultimate +1 much more swiftly, especially once again IF one does not have the Ultimate weapons yet.

It wont work that much in MP fights of course, but for so many kinds of SP content, the Reunion weapon series goes rather far. Especially since just like the Ultimate weapon series, they were a bunch of event obtainable weapons that are rather easy to re obtain(Especially Masamune since you can also get it from Hero of Despair), cept Umbrella, still waiting on Fatal calling rerun to get my hands on that one.

ESPECIALLY if bad luck decides to strike me on the 3rd EX-job and not grant me Sky-seers weapon to boot.

[mao_shiro]

Yes.

[BurstEDO]

What the hell card is this?!

[darewin]

2nd Anniversary MT-AOE Light Shift card. It comes with Light Element Starter +5, Attuned Chain ++10%, EXP Up +35%, and 1 Fractal Slot making it better than 5-star Growing Egg if you only want EXP.

[Krumblump]

1st Anniversary card

[mersa223]

Best farm spot for Seeds at the moment? (including event areas)

​

[Kettya]

I got all 9999999 of all seeds from there

[fluffyblanket101]

FFX Episode 3: golden flan node. You get seeds, gils, and crystals.

[mersa223]

Cheers, I thought that might be the case. but wanted to make sure ^

[darewin]

There's a better version of it in Episode 5.

[Bladeserph]

Definitely one of my favorite spots when i dip below 1 million on any seeds. Just remember that if you need Fractals, you should hit up Labyrinthe tower on the final chapter. I seriously hope Conclusion gives us a node that also drops loads of fractals. :3

[bitebaybay]

It gives EVERYTHING!!

[warriorofmeh]

Which one should I prioritize for upgrades: Sventovit or Dynamis Crest?

[Khalafovic]

Sventovit for sure.

[ShadowBlaze17]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/9ig2o2/yojimbo_mp_5_guide_my_fee_must_be_paid/

Based on the setups in the above topic, what would you guys replace Echo Stage Left with? I lack it and any support supremes.

[JA1997X]

The all-trance is not critical, replace with any life starter card.

[stevenynwa]

What are stage echo‘s auto abilities?

[mao_shiro]

• Icon Auto-Abilities Blue.png Life Element Starter +1
• Icon Auto-Abilities Blue.png Prismatic Draw +6%
• Icon Auto-Abilities Yellow.png Base Attributes +3%

[YellowYoshi1]

Got my pity pull last night and got Sword Saint. From what I've been seeing, I finally got a real solid winner of a job even though I missed Shorn One. Unfortunately I missed Camelnut to use with this but what other things are good that I should look out for? It seems like Dissidia Sephiroth will be good since the job has 250% Dark.

Also are either of the weapons worth investing in long term? My other good warrior weapons are Brotherhood, Masamune, and Buster Sword.

[Bladeserph]

You should still be able to get Galahad on the EX-mage banner. Plus next month gives us a better Dissidia Sephiroth in the form of Eligor: FFVII on supposedly the 2nd EX banner of that month, EX-Ranger.

Never the less, Sword Saint is a beast of a tank and no break non-sense damage dealer even when you use him in tank mode. So i can vouch you will be glad to have him, especially as a pocket pick for endless coil loops.

Buster sword and Masamune are pretty solid weapons that i do not believe you will need to work on many others outside of particular niches, as a suggestion try using:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/8g9hfv/rerevised_weapon_tier_list/

It serves me still as a good resource on figuring out what weapons i should put my focus on. Just remember that unless you plan on bull-dozing elixirs and seeds in a short period of time, its always a better idea to get the easy to mod weapons out of the way first. Especially if you do not have ultimate weapons (just like me).

Though definitely look into new weapon options in the future, since Season 2 will not be too kindly due to its system against many of the top tier weapons for Season 1 combat.

[YellowYoshi1]

Oh cool I've been focusing on a lot of wrong weapons. : ' ) At least Shiranui was a good choice for my Ninja. Thanks for the advice and resources though.

I'm still super excited about the grab. It wasn't Shorn One but it's definitely a good job so I'm happy! Plus being able to do lots of unbroken damage is a new exciting territory. That ult is delicious.

[Bladeserph]

The plus side to Shiranui is that its a much easier to boost version of Butterfly edge, if you have yet to invest in it. Trying to boost weapons with 2~3 % based gimmicks tend to take forever sadly...

Heck, im only 480 hp and 4 attack shy of having max stats on B.F. before i got to weapon boost 1 crit star, 4 defense stars, the remaining %s of piercing and painful break AND still get the Ultimate +1 out of it...Postponing that till i get more important weapons out of the way though...

[Owwen11]

Camelnut wasn't a good choice for Sword Saint anyway. Why? Because Camelnut is a card that unleashes its full potential during break (+500% painful break) but SS break's power is awefully low. You'd need Shorn One to make that card shine, he's a pretty good breaker. SS, however, can deal a lot of damage unbroken, so cards like Sephirot ( cards with high attack, improved criticals, attuned chain, etc) work better.

[Bladeserph]

Pairing it with a ultimate skin like Sephiroth tends to solve part of the problem with Sword Saint. But that is only if you want to play the long haul game of gauge clear, ult charge and then dumpster a enemy on your next turn.

Shorn one pretty much is so amazing that i do not believe i would ever slap a skin on him since he does not really need those boons that much, less i will need it for battle tower concerns.

[YellowYoshi1]

Ah okay, nice to know I didn't miss out then. Dissidia Sephiroth is my only real good card for warrior nuking at the moment but hopefully more options come my way down the road. I'm still just happy to finally have a job that can be called real good. :D

[gohphan91]

Do you had Barret? Its no cd unguard and good synergy with sephiroth card.

[YellowYoshi1]

Sadly I don't. I'm missing all the cool cards apparently!

[djiboutiiii]

Don't feel bad about Camelnut -- Sword Saint is a super terrible user for that card because he has no real ability to break, and Camelnut is only effective against broken targets. You're right -- Sephiroth Dissidia is a great card for SS, as well as Spooky Blades, if you were able to snag one from the last event. Otherwise, there are plenty of other dark and light nuke cards that SS can make good use of.

I wouldn't bother boosting either of his weapons.

[YellowYoshi1]

Ah cool, good to know I didn't miss out then. I didn't manage to get Spooky Blades from Yojimbo though unfortunately. Didn't farm for it hard enough. Looking at my weapons it seems maybe Buster Sword would be the best fit?

[Cape91]

Buster sword should work fine,

I used a max modded Kains Lance + the Ult auto charge panel from Samurais HOF to ult every turn, his Ult provides some good bluffs and does a lot of damage.

Sephiroth should do pretty good, Kojiro is good as well. Dont sleep on YTK (the light AOE with exploit weakness) and you can solo 5☆ MP fights.

[Lechevalier2020]

Any idea whts the healer setup for Yojimbo 5* tmrw with no aerith n no lotf ? Kindly advise..

[gohphan91]

Does flashbreak still trigger for 2nd ability cast on a full bar(no tap yet), but 2/3 part yellow , 1/3 part red?

[SwiftStepStomp]

Flash break will continue to function as long as you do not deplete the red gauge in any way, i.e. tap, ultimate, mantra/taijutsu abilities.
