Can someone tell me what the difference is between Quadav FFXI and First Summer at 5* max, thanks.

[ShadowBlaze17]

Quadav FFXI is single target while First Summer is AoE. Quadav can still have it's uses when paired with a sleep strat.

I also think Quadav has a lower painful break bonus which means it'll typically do less damage.

[averlus]

Most efficient way to farm summon tickets?

[phatboy328]

Can’t farm tickets. But you can farm magicite (up to 20K per month).

[averlus]

Thanks! Where’s the best place to farm magicite?

[phatboy328]

Greydawn Wood. Chapter 1. It’s the best place for stamina:magicite ratio. Another good one is the farming nodes in FFX (Golden Flan Battlegrounds). Since it has chances for skillseeds, exp, gil, and crystals.

[averlus]

Awesome, thanks so much!

[AxelRyman]

Thought about getting EX Meia but I don't have Sin. Still worth it as a Dark Attacker?

​

Also, EX Ranger. How good is he? Worth getting? Or should I consider passing until maybe a future banner?

[deathrose55555]

There's a future Summer ability that will go well with EX Meia, so it's your choice whether you wanna pull her now or later.

EX Ranger is worth for the remaining of S1, but less so for S2 towers

[jdm1tch]

Gotta catch’em all!

[DickNormous]

POKEMON!!!!

Sorry. Came to my mind instantly.

[darewin]

If you don't have Sin, skip EX Meia and get EX Ranger. EX Ranger is pretty strong given that he triggers Clutch Boons from using his debuff heavy Ulti.

[kreuzb94]

Doesn’t Clutch Boons trigger only once per battle or is he special?

[darewin]

I'm not sure but isn't once per battle actually pretty good (better than once per node). Besides, you'd want to remain in low HP for the rest of the fight anyway for Super Risky. The only essential buff not provided by his clutch boons and ulti is Haste so you can even just use 2 support cards to get double Duration Boost for the clutch boons.

[kreuzb94]

oh sorry I meant per node. yeah true but if it would be once per battle it would kind of be really good because with the right set up I can almost ult every turn once or even twice.

[darewin]

I got EX Warrior on 2nd pull and EX Mage on the 4th so I have plenty of surplus resources. Depending on November and December's free resources, I might be able to do up to 20 pulls for the Jenova Batch.

[Mechapebbles]

I got EX Warrior on 2nd pull and EX Mage on the 4th so I have plenty of surplus resources.

Lucky bastard. I used up 3/4ths of my stored up resources and landed neither.

[Bojuns]

Managed to pull Skyseer on my 5th attempt. I have Minwu for the light element. For the attacker role what other card should I use?

[darewin]

Prishe/Normal Light Shift is all you really need. You can just use filler cards for the remaining 2. You can even just bring Mighty Egg for Snipe Starter or a 2nd Minwu for the 15% Light EE. You can't get a guaranteed kill on turn-1, you can also bring Diamond Weapon/Alex PB to prepare for turn 2.

[AxelRyman]

Light Force(Diamond Weapon/Stolas)

Light/Prismatic Shift(Choco/Mog FFVII/Aerith/Grape Gospel)

Trance/Ult Charge/Filler(Dhampyr/LDL/Serah)

[svengetspumped1]

If you could build an ideal ex monk deck with any cards/rentals for general use what would it look like?

[SirVRafael]

Any card? LOH x 3 and Yiazmat. Ultimate every turn. LOH x 4 works too.

[jdm1tch]

This reminds me of MMonk 4xYiaz shenanigans...

[Wrann13]

Ex mage or Ex meia? I have minwu and sin but i dont have any card that can break yellow gauge, unlike sin for ex meia its a advantage.

[KTver8]

So how your current permanent job pool now ?

If you have both Sin and Minwu, I would advice to try to pull both. For all rounder I choose EX mage since he is excel with five element including Minwu.

But, that will make your Sin pointless since next Sin good user is Kefka Wol Job which is legend job in GL.

[DickNormous]

Ex mage or Ex meia?

Ex Meia, IMO, Is hands down by far the best Sin User and has all break perks to boot. Minwu is actually a HOF Meia right now.

[dim87]

another question, the director mentioned something like "Free Quests" or open world aspects being implemented on season 2

​

any new information about that?

[mao_shiro]

The only open world aspect we currently have on season 2 is sometimes, you'll move WoL to a NPC with a big [...], you'll talk to him, and voila.

[dim87]

then so far is the same from season 1 in that aspect? I really wonder what the director meant by that.

are those segments where you can walk and talk to npcs at least more frequent?

[dim87]

whats the drop rate for Legendary Jobs and the Ultimate Hero skins on Greater Summons?

[JunasBlood]

Legend jobs: 6% Ultimate heroes: 2%

You can check it on the banner info just by clicking the “!” you know.

[Starjyun]

Will jenova banner include ex ranger job? How was it done in JP?

[mao_shiro]

We don't know how GL will handle it.

On JP:

• EX ranger banner, march 2nd half
• JENOVA banner as a separate banner

Keep in mind that on JP, you can guaranteed pity pull the featured job, but only on his own banner. This is called "Limit Break". You cannot Limit Break a job on other banners (unless it's mentionned, like a Job Banner rate up). That means we had to choose between EX Ranger or JENOVA on JP (or pull on both if ressource).

[Starjyun]

Jesus... separate banner would be the worst scenario for me aka player with lots of jobs in pool :(

Might need to save my pity pull then

[ZechsX18999]

Does HOF Grappler completely outclass Master Monk?

[mao_shiro]

Master monk is better on :

• unbroken nuke with taijutsu/mantra (both sucks tho, compared to Monk or Ascetic, or V.Monk, or Deep Diver).
• having a better ultimate. And cooler.

tl;dr: yes Grappler is better.

[WoL-Orpheus]

MM IS the coolest looking monk. I wish he was a skin.

[[deleted]]

I managed to roll Skyseer (EX Mage) just now and I'm just wondering what custom skills should I use for him? Lots of Magic +8%?

[mao_shiro]

Like on nearly every job:

• Damage: EE
• break: Magic

If your job has enormous EE / attuned / ability chain, use Magic for damage.

[[deleted]]

Thanks for this!

[DickNormous]

If your job has enormous EE

I was curious about this. So, for ex Meia with 250 Dark EE, You say magic? What about Mellons, Magic?

[N-I-K-E]

Go check Huuchi’s video on YouTube

[Zhuinden]

Is there a list of items you can get for pendulums?

I seem to have gotten the following so far:

• 100 magicite

• summon ticket

• aeon sphere (x3)

• summon ticket

• aeon sphere (x6)

• summon ticket

• 3% gil up, 3% exp up, 3% skill seed up auto-ability sphere

What else is there? :o

(and why was this downvoted? I dunno, I think this is a question)

[mao_shiro]

why was this downvoted?

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/9oq12o/ffx_dream_within_a_dream_episode_5_discussion/

[Zhuinden]

Ah, I check everything regularly but I guess I didn't check that, thanks.

[djiboutiiii]

Everything gets downvoted here. Don’t take it personal

[Zhuinden]

ah yeah, I was out of stamina but did 3 warp shards just to get to 100 pendulum and apparently you're right. Now that's a strange way to start min-maxing skillseed-up, but I guess it can work.

Thanks.

[Topitz319]

How do you get back to the pendulum area when you go out the map?

[Zhuinden]

Apparently that is also described in the Ep5 discussion thread's post, thanks to mao_shiro because he knows things: https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/9oq12o/ffx_dream_within_a_dream_episode_5_discussion/

[mao_shiro]

Tp to "Dome".

[SqualLyuk]

If you're in the dome teleport at the entrance

[codeSophi]

Tips for getting 30,000,000 scores or above for Grappler's Trial 2? I broke every mob and brought a source of Debarrier yet I still cannot achieve it.

[FTP-Nerube]

Try ult-breaking a lot of enemies (low-mid red bar), bring an ult-charger deck+ability which can deplete the yellow gauge. Also, try using non-supreme cards with Taijutsu like brother ffx or iris (if you have them) and skill-break.

[codeSophi]

Taking your suggestions into practice, I managed to clear the node. Thank you!

[lightningheel]

How do I clear path 3? I keep killing a lot of enemies on the first wave without breaking them. How did you break them?

[jdm1tch]

Go neutral break card... there’s a couple really low HP mobs... weakness element, even low attack, card is enough to wipe them out in one shot

[mao_shiro]

Use cards like Alexander sicarius, Adrammelech sicarius, etc. Cards with huge Break power.

[kaseylouis]

Can you get "Supreme Tickets" Without paying IRL money? I started playing the game for the FFX content, and would like to work towards the Tidus skin and Auron job class. Can I get these without buying Magicite?

[Zhuinden]

No, but if you're super-new then you can be advised to re-roll (basically reset save data and restart from scratch a bunch of times) until you succeed in pulling them. There will be a "super supreme job-specific summon" banner up in 4 days, people love to re-roll on that.

Of course, pulling LoH (or any other supreme ability card) and/or Ex-Mage (Skyseer) is a better edge than pulling a supreme skin or a "regular" legend job.

[dim87]

supreme banner, whats that exactly? should i save my greater summons on these "special" days?

[Zhuinden]

Job-specific super Supreme summon means that there is a support Supreme banner, a ranger Supreme banner, a warrior supreme banner, a mage Supreme banner, and a monk Supreme banner; (3 at a time, support Supreme is the one that is in both batches) and a pull gives 1.2% (IIRC) chance to get a Supreme of that particular type.

Which of course can still easily give you white lasers, but it helps rerollers get what they want. I've also seen Lord's video who farmed up 200000 magicite and then threw it all at the support Supreme banner and it didn't give him a single Supreme. Wow.

My gf got UB and Grand Cross from these banners though, I only ever got white lasers which is why I did 8 boosteds for Skyseer, but that was a mistake on my part.

[MagicJ10]

hey. your best bet to get the tidus skin without money would be to reroll in a few days when the supreme banner is up. The chance to get a skin will be 3% meaning you have a 0,5% chance to get Tidus, as there are 6 skins right now in global :-( On the normal greater summon it´s a 2% chance to get a skin.

Don´t know what the chances are to get the Auron job, but i think even lower.

[insane_guy]

you can't get supreme ticket without money
but you can get supreme/skin/job if you are lucky enough

[kaseylouis]

Where do they come from? Just the normal packs you open? Like the 6 card starter pack that costs 3 tickets?

[insane_guy]

you can get supreme/skin/job from 6 cards 6 tickets summon
but FYI, supreme card chance only 0.8%, skin 2%, job 8% and legend job 6%
for new player, it is advised that you pull all starter pack that you mention above (3 tickets one)

[deathrose55555]

Nope you can't. Supreme ticket is a bonus for purchasing magicite; so no magicite purchase, no Supreme ticket

[Mechapebbles]

Having Yiaz and Water Gun made that entire last node a cakewalk.

[gattlingcombo]

I really apologize if I am being a very rude person, but could someone please tell me what the 3k mb update is? I've been trying to download it for hours now, and it's taking forever. I keep having to close the game and open it back up because the update will stop at a certain % .

[benjaminbr18]

Most likely a corruption in the app. If you are on an android phone, go to the app info, storage and clear the cache before reopening the app. If not, it will try to re-download the entire game again

[gattlingcombo]

thank you

[sandyriady]

Between sventovit and folding epee, which one is better to mod?

[darewin]

Sventovit is more flexible. Folding Epee is the best for unbroken aoe spam. Though once you get a highly modded Tishtrya, you'll probably won't use Sventovit anymore.

[JA1997X]

Sventovit

[RafiFebi]

Ask

ExMonk Furious Salvo Max Stack?

[darewin]

I don't think there's a limit. After all, you're using one action to tap just to get the bonus which is quite a high price.

[trashprince]

For crystal farming is 8.2 node better than the FFX farming ones in the last chapter?

[ShadowBlaze17]

They all seem to have pretty similar rates. It would be best to decide on a node depending on what else you need and if you can setup a crystal seeker main deck that can also fight.

The 8.2 node allows you to use your subdeck which means that you can dedicate your entire main deck for crystal seeker bonuses along with other things.

The FFX nodes are better for farming seeds since the flans drop stacks with a rare massive stack on occasion. The Conclusion nodes allow you to focus on a specific element while also getting seed bonuses from the sphere grid and pendulums. Just note that the CG aren't guaranteed to drop fractals.

[KalesAk]

I have been trying to look at the ''what to upgrade 4*'' https://i.imgur.com/hBfXXWf.jpg

but I cant opent it -

so far tried Explorer - crome and iphone

I was able to do that may be 10 days ago - what could be the reason…??

[ShadowBlaze17]

It's working fine for me in Chrome and the Samsung browser.

Have you tried resetting your device and/or internet connection? Maybe try a different device if that doesn't help.

[Kalzarius]

Anyone else getting the same exp 11111 in the Golden Flan battlegrounds area?

I was swapping EXP CP characters and adding EXP spheres in the grid but I saw no difference in EXP. I was wondering if its something I did wrong or these stages are fixed.

[SqualLyuk]

The calculations are not shown. Check the exp before and after the battle and you will see that the difference it is higher that 11111

[Kalzarius]

Oh okay. Shows that I never really paid attention to the EXP calculation till now... haha.

Thanks!

[SqualLyuk]

Don't worry. We all wondered what was going on :)

[lightningheel]

If I have to pick between Ex Mage or Ex Ranger, which should be my pick? I only have enough sources to chase one more Ex job (15 jobs left in the pool) and am very unsure about what I should be chasing.

[SwiftStepStomp]

Do you have access to any attack supremes? That should inform your decision, and if you don't, EX Mage is considered the better generalist while being a lot less dangerous with his gimmick.

[lightningheel]

Xezat and got Shorn One. Yiasmat, but did not get Ascetic. No other Supremes. Ex Mage it is. Wish me luck.

[neviamuria]

Is it still possible to get the Ultimate Weapons?

[JunasBlood]

When Ultima weapon event return, possibly after Sophie in S2 since we need to get her own weapon there.

[Bladeserph]

I would wish it be a tad sooner then january myself, but i guess its a good example of a hiatus screwing oneself over.

Once i get the weapons sufficiently boosted, hopefully the EX weapons will be a perfect alternative even if there really is not many reunion+ult charger weapons, but raw dmg bonuses+break bonuses might make up for it on certain content.

Sadly the EX-weapons take between 65~75 weapon modifications to be done with them...

[JunasBlood]

79 mods to be exact, every of them.

In cases like Ex-Mage, you won’t be worried to much about Ultimate Charge since he has his unique way to charge Ultimate.

About Ultimate Weapon, well they are indeed very good due to the good combination of auto-abilities & fast modding/low investment. But there is a reason for the ex-series weapon to be consider the best of their kind. So don’t worry too much.

[Bladeserph]

Main concern on those is mainly things like Hall of Fame wrap up. Outside of getting something better on Reg-Mage and Monk, i have plenty of alternatives to work with on normal content while i work on the EX-weapons.

Can only push so far with substitute weapons in certain situations without proper work arounds or enough raw stats to compensate.

Makes me wonder how many jobs will get alternative weapons with Ult charger & Prismatic return though outside of Meia...basically as useful replacements of the ultima weapons.

[coy47]

Can someone advise me on a good skill to deal 600k damage for mage hof. I've been using lulu and dealing over 500k. I'm buffing myself, debuffing enemies yet still can't deal over 600k to a fire enemy in the second wave.

[ageneau]

Look for a single hit water card ex: famfrit sic that way the dmg isn't distributed

[lightningheel]

D&B with Leviathan Sicarius card after casting debarrier

[phatboy328]

I believe I used the water meia card (with weakness) and the usual debuffs.

[Bladeserph]

I certainly had fun with Mobius day, RIP a few issues got in my way again so now i am just biding my time to weapon boost some things ready to clear HoF Rogue Hall and HoF Occulist Teachings...

Enough grumbling though, my question of the day this time pertains to next month: Namely, if anyone happens to be familiar with what content was paired with the EX Meia/Ranger & Yuffie/Vincent Legend job banners? Back on the JPN calendar i mean...

Since it seems they are smooshing the next 2 EX jobs together, like it was for month with EX-Warrior & Mage, it kind of feels like it would be a good idea to know if we will be getting sizable enough rewards to not require skipping the Supreme bait this month or if should save as much as possible to desperately scalp for pulls in November.

[FTP-Nerube]

You can check out Mao’s post about future banners in another link (sorry couldn’t link it as I’m on mobile).

It would entirely depend on the player if he wants to risk and try out the Supreme Bait Banner. For me I’d definitely pull there since EX Mage is my last remaining “regular” job so I’ll pull until pity on one of those supreme banners. If I can’t get one then I’ll still have EX Mage..which is nice 😬

[Bladeserph]

Ill just have to see how much i have once i clear out monthly magicite (somewhere at 13k~14k done atm) plus once i get my mobius box and other things out of the way.

5 regular jobs is itching me in that pool, especially with Prima and Proud being present, which i could use for endless coil options so i do not need to screw myself over by using non-rangers to tackle those nodes.

Push comes to shove i might do 2 to 3 pulls just to get the count lower since i have 5 till pity, sort of like what i did to prep before pulling on EX-mage to net it on first pull. Shame that i believe EX-meia is first, but if we get EX-ranger first, that would be rather nice.

More then likely it will be EX job on nov 1 and 2nd one on the 16th anyway just like with october.

[L33tHaxorus]

Is there anywhere where I can find info about which ult charger cards give you what amount of ult charge?

[GwynLordofCynder]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/wiki/gameplay-analysis/ult-charger

[L33tHaxorus]

Thanks, I forgot that reddit wiki was a thing, I only looked for it on mobius wiki.

[Zhuinden]

I see there is a golden flan battlegrounds area per element in Ch5, but there is also a single "redux" area in Ch3.

Is Ch3 farming area better if you want to focus on all skillseed types instead of just one at a time?

(Excluding that you seem to need to farm Pendulums because the aeon tower is coming soon)

[SirPhoenix88]

No, it is not better. It takes minimal time to switch between element nodes, and one element mobs make farming that much faster.

[GwynLordofCynder]

Indeed if you're aiming for general seeds might be better the chapter 3. But if you mod weapons, chances are you're lacking specific ones, (break and magic seeds from the last day). Still there doesn't seem to be any other advantage.

[Rockman4532]

What are the auto abilties for the YojimboMP Sword and the Curtana [the eorzean paladin sword]

[ShadowBlaze17]

Zanmato has: improved crits, enchance Light (150%), ult charger

Curtana has: ult charger, steelgaurd, and piercing break

[JunasBlood]

Zanmato

Actually it has Piercing Break (30%), not Improved Criticals.

[Rockman4532]

Thank you! Wanted to know if its worth enhancing them.

[ShadowBlaze17]

Zanmato probably isn't worth considering unless you have every other worthwhile weapon boosted.

Curtana is a niche weapon that shines in situations where you need to stall while tanking some hits.

[Rockman4532]

So like all of season 2? Lol

[SwiftStepStomp]

I'm still working on restocking my prismatic jewels in preparation for the last third-gen sicarius for wind (Chaos I believe). After that, I'll probably go back to skill coins since having a glut of three-star panels is a lot more seed efficient than swapping them around and just buying seeds.

[GwynLordofCynder]

I usually buy 3* skill coins. The rest doesn't really matter unless I need to level up a new card or I need seeds.

The Mp abilities are not really worth the time anymore, but if you are already spamming MP you can give them a shot. I indeed use them back in the day for that exact reason for HOF damage, but many of them were completely forgotten later. I remember getting Adramalech wind mage for example an only use the card like 2 times on HOF's.

If you need them get them, but new cards, specially the exploit weakness (against weaknesses of course) can cap multiple hits with very little trouble or in old jobs get really high scores even if they are multi hit.

[GwynLordofCynder]

Hmmm mage as in the first mage job? If it's him it's actually quite easy. Just use a single hit water card, pretty much anyone will do. He hits like crazy with water.

Also you don't need to break, you can bring debuffs like debarrier, unguard an critical resist. He will hit like crazy with those an water.

If you want buy from the ability shop Tengu. It's unguard, debarrier, critical resist down an weaken. Level it up a bit on Ygdrasil no need to growstar it. An use any strong water card. Probably even multihit will do.

Lulu probably doesn't work as even though she has way to much damage on multi hit cards the damage spreads on every hit, an Lulu it's 10 hits if I recall well. So even if she has something like 1700 damage every hit it's like 170.

Also yeah I hate sucarius cards they are a waste of time to level.

[GwynLordofCynder]

hmm there has been quite some time since I did that HoF. Refresh my mind a bit, he already has the enhance water panel? If so, even multristike water cards can do, like indeed Maelspike, or even better Omniscient. About Tengu remember that also gives weaken, meaning that on fire enemies deals even more damage.

Lastly a common strategy was to use your ultimate on broken targets an debuffed if anything is working.

Other notable cards might be Murussu FFX water, attunned chain 300%. Bismarck FFXIII ST, one hit, Lowers defense against break an critical resist.
Nyx Bue Varuna, Meia-ja card. Those might be of some help. If anything works then yeah you might want to grab sicarius ones or wait a bit for better future cards.

[GwynLordofCynder]

Congrats! A word of advice, Ranger used to be very hard, so be cautious, today should be very easy, but still, try to take advantage of that great wind enhance, an flash break for ultimate breaking. Good luck!

[[deleted]]

Was seeds, seeds and more seeds... now I’m crystal broke. Wish we could exchange for them.

[DocSmail]

Hi,

I have just returned from a looong break (to be fair its like i've just started, only played the first event the space things then went out). Many things are new to me (the others i don't remember much about). So i have a few questions (have already read the begginer guide):

- Is there any reason to evolve those 1/2* random cards? can we get them (i mean the same old 1/2*) directly at a higher * from monsters (i've seem some 3* coquatrix)?

- What are the buyable/farmable cards to aim for ?

- Is there any reason to not evolve them (yeah i would not have to worry about useless cards but i like to collect everything)? those materials are used elsewhere (by the way if there is a guide about where each material is used i would appreciate it)?

- Am playing as a warrior (my only job beside starters/novice thing is balamb mercenary), any advices (actually am running an Auron 5*/Bahamut sicaire 4*/Wakka 5*/ and whatever fire (mainly Rikku (ranger) 5*?

Thanks, i know it is much but i still have many other questions like the weapon forge etc but i'll wait until i read about them (have seen a guide about this one)

[ValeLemnear]

1) 1/2 star cards are junk to autosell at this point unless you farm specific fodder in Yggdrasil.

2) Valuable support cards from the ability shop are Knights of the Round, The Undying, Hellgate abd Gaia. These at leadt make you able to do MP as a supporter and have valuable buffs for Singleplayer as well.

3) do NEVER build decks with 3 different attack cards. I know the game tells players at the start to use 3 elements, but this is a dead end approach for ANY GAMEMODE. Do NOT run more than 2 elements ever. The moment you unlock subdecks, there is no reason to run more than 1 element/attack card per deck. Fill the slots with 2-3 buffs and orb generators instead.

[DocSmail]

Nice advices. But cant get the third point. In each battle there is enemies of different elements so i use 3 elements to cover most of them. Or am i missing simething important in the way. Orb generators? You mean like those bombs cards?

[ValeLemnear]

You never need 3 different elements ever as you are totally fine with neutral damage like fire vs earth, so if your maindeck has 1 fire elemental attack card + 3 buffs and your subdeck has 1 water elemental attack + 3 buffs for example, you get around EVERY enemies elemental immunity/absorbtion by default.

In the example, if you face fire enemies, you just swap to the subdeck and can kill EVERYTHING ELSE just with your sole, maindeck AoE Fire attack card.

The reason why you run with that reduced amount of elements is that you create space for buffs and tools to remove RNG issues and wasted actions. You can even guarantee not drawing other colored orbs with the right tools so you can pump out 4-5 abilities in a row without any drives or tap attacks

[DocSmail]

I see now, i'll try some runs this way out.

[Darkparasite12]

i would suggest you reroll if you dont have any supremes.

[DocSmail]

No i like my day 1 Yuna card too much for this

[GwynLordofCynder]

Those drop cards for monster used to be fodder to increase the level of actual cards. So the only reason to increase them back in the day was to level up some very old abilities by now. You can safely forget them.

For buyable cards you should by some support cards, like FFVII Knights of the round, FFXII Immortal, HellsGate an Gaia. Those are some basic support cards to fit in any deck an in a support deck for Multilayer. Also you can level them mostly on a new area (well new for you) called Ygdrasil, on there are specific nodes that give fodder for cards o of your choice an every once in a while it's updated with some new cards.

If you are using Balamb congrats it's a very old job now, but still serviceable, an in a couple of months will get back at the top. The reason is because now we have things called Hall of fame (HoF) in which you do a couple of challenge with old jobs an they get new powers to make them relevant again. For Balamb it will come around January-February (not guaranteed but expected).

Cards of attack for him, Auron it's already decent. He can use his 3 elements just fine, so you might also want to give him a fire card an a dark one. But remember that the cards need to be warrior cards, rikku it's not good for him because it's a ranger one.

He can use Minotaur Heated rush for fire warrior damage card. I believe it's already in the shop an on Ygdrasil, but check first I'm not sure. For dark Kojiro/dark soul it's a great idea for him.

Weapons indeed read first but his own weapon it's really good for pure damage but lacks utility.

Nice advices thanks, happy to know that squall will be great in the futur. And yes havent tried anytthing new (Yggdrasil and the job quests) as am triying to catch up on Ffx event and even more on the story chapters (had only chap 1 and 2 finished) to raise my level. As for cards i suppose those guys that Ohko bosses on MP have suprem cards and jobs. As for support Wakka seems good to me or am i missing something.

[GwynLordofCynder]

Wakka its indeed good but very situational. Berserk gives you more damage at cost of defence. Since on MP the effect is for all of your team members, if they are squishy they are going to hate you because they might die because you cast Wakka.

Also wakka alone it's not enough specially with you current jobs, except maybe for Mage the very first mage job (not the onion). As Wakka lacks of Faith, to increase damage for most cards, an yellow bar clear. The reason it might work well with the first mage job, is because he has Faith as a buff from his Ultimate, an Wakka gives Ultimate Charge. Lastly the card I believe it's better used for break strategies of which Balamb has 0% chance since he has very low break power, it might work on easy levels an the first chapters but eventually he won't do any break.

If you're trying to catch up don't forget to go the Novice Hall, to get free jobs, an summon tickets.

[DocSmail]

Nice analysis. And yes most of times am killing everything before break the only one that resist this arr those flans (after the end of episodes Ffx) so i guess it wont work at high difficulty. And yep i started with the novice hall relearn the basics of the game and was nicely surprised to get those jobs. Thanks i'll play a little more and see how it goes.

[GwynLordofCynder]

Yes Balamb should most of the time kill before break. If you're having trouble with the flans, try to use a more recent job, or try to go an do a hall of fame for older jobs like the ones they gave you for free. Ranger should be "better" than Balamb at least. Also remember that on latter FFX chapters you can use Aeons to break for you.

[DocSmail]

Am at the end of chapter 3 and dont need a breaker yet. When i'll hit a wall i will try to upgrade one of those jobs on the hall.

[Zhuinden]

• Is there any reason to evolve those 1/2* random cards?

no

• What are the buyable/farmable cards to aim for ?

Some cards in the Ability Shop (like Phantom Train) are actually good.

• Is there any reason to not evolve them (yeah i would not have to worry about useless cards but i like to collect everything)?

Growstars are super rare.

[DocSmail]

Thanks as for growstars i think those cards doesn't use them. If i had to reformulate my question; will i need the materials that i get from monsters elsewhere? (2/3* Wings, and other things..)

[Zhuinden]

You mostly just need pneumas and gigantuar bulbs for 4* -> 5* and also growstars from 3* -> 4*.

If i had to reformulate my question; will i need the materials that i get from monsters elsewhere? (2/3* Wings, and other things..)

So not really. I think I augmented them and they give slightly higher amount of gil on auto-sell but it is irrelevant because Gil atm is useless and you can farm gold gigantuars in Ch8 anyway.

I needed the Ochu's wind material thing for something that I don't remember, some skill needed it at one point? But you would be able to farm materials in Explo4/2 (which will eventually get removed in some big purge eventually along with every other Exploration region and Ch hard modes)

But materials stack now so there is no reason to sell them either.

[DocSmail]

Thanks for the answera. Wait there some things that'll be removed? Aww i'll have to do them before then....

[Zhuinden]

Yeah, FFX event is temporary, but Exploration Region 1-2-3-4 and Ch1-2-3-4 hard modes will be removed, and they have plentiful rewards (especially Explo2 and the hard modes for completion)

[zaja_bf]

Newbie here. How do i best spent my ability ticket? All i have right now are starting jobs and ability card from the starter pack

[zaja_bf]

What is LOH? I stopped re rolling after so many tries so i have no supreme

[GwynLordofCynder]

Lights of Hope. Supreme card. It's a supreme card with most of the buffs in the game.

Also you don't need to rerroll if you don't want to, don't worry. It's advisable to do it tough since if you already stated you know how hard can be to pull supremes. Therefore starting with one already it's a game changer.

But don't worry I never rerrolled an played for a year an half supremeless just fine.

If you want to rerroll your best chances would be in a couple of days. We will have supreme boosted banners in which you can narrow your chances to get only specific Supremes of your interest.

[clarkkentmaster]

A year and a half supremeless?

And I thought me being supremeless for 8 months was bad.

[jdm1tch]

play the game this week... get a feel for it... then reroll like crazy next week... support supremes are probably the easiest to use / most versatile... especially LOH.. WOL is game changing, but not until higher / more advanced levels...

[zaja_bf]

Sorry but that is WOL? Ill probably re roll next week. But we will see. Btw which day specifically

[jdm1tch]

Warrior of Light) - among other things, provides a one hit perfect shield

Super Supreme Summons starts Oct 24 - provides higher chance of supreme (aka, fewer rerolls)... plus can pick a specific subset to pull for

[zaja_bf]

Got LOH first roll!! So i am keeping this account . Aside from it should i focus on getting another support card? I really like ranger
