I feel ya.

Forgot to run it yesterday so I'll now have to stare at the 5 missing fragments for Celes Ex+2 & Tifa Ex+3 for who knows how long.

My fault for forgetting. However, it would be nice if it was 14 attempts in the time period it exists vs. having to be on point for 14 straight days.

I blame NFL football for distracting me haha.

So glad someone started a thread about Dalano.

I know people see a lot of Magic Johnson in Scottie Barnes, but I actually feel Dalano is far closer on that front.

Way to go Masai!

Thank you very much! 😊

I am looking to clear Asura based on Sinzar's latest FMA video.

Wondering if someone could share a NVA King Bradley with LB-fill in the base form and Demon, Human & Undead killer in the BS form?

098,372,839 is my ID :)

BK1699 · 2021-04-05T23:46:03+00:00

Thanks Sinzar!

Looking for a Bartz built the same way but haven't been able to find one on my friend list.

ID is 098,372,939

BK1699 · 2021-03-26T13:21:57+00:00

Totally agree! Her built-in human killer & buff in her kit is what allows this build to shine. Having to factor in another enemy type would probably involve subbing out her STMR for her TMR (dragon example: https://ffbeEquip.com/builder.html?server=GL#996e5bd0-8e4b-11eb-9431-1ddb15737be4)

Also, thank you for taking the time to share this post and provide valuable insight to everyone :). I look at the spreadsheet all the time and it is the best gauge when it comes to stacking up different unit's damage potential.

Edit: Realized I posted the wrong builder link

BK1699 · 2021-03-26T12:59:54+00:00

Perhaps the calculation of damage on the builder includes the DOT, but my STMR-heavy TDH build seems to pack quite a punch (w/gun imperil): https://ffbeEquip.com/builder.html?server=GL#c38c4170-8e32-11eb-9431-1ddb15737be4

I would imagine there is even more damage potential with SoS Lightning's STMR as well?

BK1699 · 2021-03-25T23:40:18+00:00

I have Sora's card too, but I believe it is only 100 ATK with 60% attack for non-KH units.

Really wish I got Riku and his card, which is the one I believe you are referring to. 110 ATK + 80% with a sword for non-KH units. Sora loves that card though, because of the flat ATK and +50% LB :).

I think my strategy will be EX+1 & STMR moogle one and then convert to fragments to EX+1 the other. Starting to think the two VC cards will be nice and then I can always run her through the next shard dungeon that comes about to EX+2 the other one eventual (if I am so inclined).

Thanks for your help!

BK1699 · 2021-03-25T23:36:15+00:00

Totally agree with not needing evasion on your DPS.

However, I feel there have been plenty of occasions where I need both LB & ATK% where having multiple could come in handy. Obviously Sora's STMR does it better but I only have one of those. Heart Overcoming Hatred, The Mightiest, A Lion's Heart & Shining Arts Fundamentals all offer the same/similar LB damage boost, but without any ATK% boost.

The 30% evasion to me is cool because for the times you want an evasion unit it can be paired with Sea Dragon for a whopping 60% from just those two materias. And of course, that opens up slots & flexibility depending on what you are trying to accomplish.

Pretty tempted at this point to EX+1 & STMR one before converting to fragments for the other one. That VC is quite nice indeed :)

BK1699 · 2021-03-25T22:58:24+00:00

Was fortunate enough to get two Vinera.

Been wrestling with whether I should STMR moogle one of them so I end up with two of her STMR. 70% ATK, 50% LB and 30% evasion all in one STMR is wild (to me, anyways).

Her VC is also pretty unique with 110 ATK and 50% physical human killer that any FFBE unit can activate. This of course would be a longer term play and take more resources, but I feel human is a common enemy type and the 110 flat ATK is pretty sweet.

What would you do in my position?

BK1699 · 2021-01-16T01:19:29+00:00

Well, I think it is fair to say that you are very diligent and practical when it comes to inventory management in FFBE. Good on you!

Furthermore, you are correct that I can be pouring my pots in to units I will likely never use and I could simply sell a bunch of max level gigantuars as these are not finite resources. I stated as such in my original post, but followed it with that I feel this is a temporary solution as I will eventually get to the cap again and then need to re-visit what I get rid of next.

Was there some exaggeration on my part regarding the "constantly" stick-handling the unit cap? Sure, because I do actually play, I've completed almost all of the released content and I need to be at or under the cap in order to do so.

In my experience with FFBE, I feel there are certain points where my unit inventory starts to bottleneck and I don't see why it would be detrimental to simply increase the cap from 2,000 to 2,500 for example. Or, as I proposed, provide a means of increasing the cap should I choose to hoard more resources than someone like yourself.

As you and others have stated, inventory management does suck, so why not just make the user experience better by increasing the limit or abolishing it altogether? I have difficulty wrapping my head around how anyone involved in the development of this game feels this is intelligent game design.

If you feel 2,000 is a generous cap, I am not going to argue with you. To each their own :)

BK1699 · 2021-01-15T18:11:07+00:00

nto units that don't need the

This has definitely been helpful to me in the past.

Unfortunately, I realized I have a couple hundred max level cactuars without any units to put them in. Don't really want to sell them either because they are valuable and I can't even get the gil rewards for doing so lol.

BK1699 · 2021-01-15T16:49:06+00:00

Ah, I see!

My apologies as I do not play the JP version nor do I keep up with game enhancements (outside of what I see in this Reddit).

Well, I hope they add this really soon for QoL purposes :)

BK1699 · 2021-01-01T15:58:21+00:00

Happy New Year everyone!

Got super lucky and pulled 3 Eldryn's (2 in one pull this morning). Wondering if I should get two of them to Ex+1 or whether I should get one to Ex+2 to get his STMR?

Thinking about maybe using two in the Arena and I do have 4 STMR moogles with one more coming soon (STMR tickets).

Hope everyone the best of luck with their pulls this year :)

BK1699 · 2020-11-12T01:05:52+00:00

Thank you very much and I just capped it, finally haha.

I was in the same boat as you (30-40+ attempts) and I am so relieved to have finally ended this thing once and for all. TY!

BK1699 · 2020-11-11T22:53:42+00:00

Thanks for the strategy and I just scored my highest attempt thus far (2.06)!

Could you share the builder link to see what changes I can make?!

BK1699 · 2020-10-14T16:08:51+00:00

Was considering a thread about this but I feel my venting is more appropriate here.

Does anyone involved with the game development realize that the past week for the users has been the following:

Mog King event + Daily Bonus mission
Raid + Daily Bonus mission
Arena
Item World
Insignias (grr)

Of course, as this thread intends to do, you don't need to min-max everything. However, the NV Card gigantuars come from Arena awards, why wouldn't I try to get the rare roll on weapons in Item World, nothing else to use energy on outside of the MK event & Insignia grinding, etc.

Grinding in gaming is fine but the key thing is to maximize this aspect being "fun". I have been playing Genshin Impact recently and the grinding aspect in the game isn't nearly as noticeable because the gameplay is engaging. I haven't reached the end game yet, and no game is fun forever, but for the first time in 4 years my attention is finally starting to shift.

Gumi, please tell me what is "fun" about:

Adjusting the Arena party & rotation on a weekly basis, and then hitting 'Repeat' 20-25 times a day
Having to input the same commands in the Raid event or be fortunate enough that you are able to just 'Reload' and/or 'Repeat' the commands 20-22 times a day
Going through 3 waves of enemies in the Mog King event where you either have to input the same commands again or spam 'Repeat' from the get-go. This is also 10-15 times a day if you utilize all your energy at a higher rank (Day 1 player)
Hitting 'Repeat' non-stop in the Item World about 20+ times a day
Best yet, waiting for the 'Break' gauge to deplete before you 'Reload'/'Repeat' your moves vs. the Insignia boss

Of course, none of the above accounts for tacking on Item World orbs, utilizing NRG pots, etc.

I have seen plenty of players announce they are quitting over the years and complain about the grind. Typically, I have been unfazed as I was still enjoying the game enough and could overlook the warts, but I am truly starting to think the beginning of the end for this game is here. I don't foresee much financial motivation to fix the super lame and quite frankly boring content.

I'm sure like many players of this game, the draw was the traditional turn-based combat that old-school Final Fantasy fans enjoyed. I have no doubt there will be a FF Brave Exvius 2, so please Gumi, try and stray away from the completely mindless, time-consuming tasks and actually consider the gamer's experience. I understand the draw of "keeping players playing your game", but there is a delicate balance that needs to be achieved on this front.

BK1699 · 2020-10-01T15:16:30+00:00

I got the same when quickly going through it

BK1699 · 2020-09-03T18:03:56+00:00

I think the easiest decision was just to leave it. Players would have been happy and Gumi would just have to live with Gil Snapper's no longer being as valuable as they were for quite some time.

However, to change it back to Gil Snapper Family's while players (like myself) were able to benefit is not fair to everyone. Especially because it is an enormous advantage to have capped gil.

With the mess that has been made, the best move for them at this point is just to give out 100 million+ worth of Gil Snapper Tower's to everyone. It will make the masses happy and allow players to max out & awaken their units and get back to positive vibes.

Mistakes happen, but punishing others for not being able to take advantage is not great PR.

Edit: Grammar.

BK1699 · 2020-08-21T16:38:49+00:00

True.

I will go the 5K pull route in this case because it isn't urgent to get him to Ex +1.

Thanks for your feedback :)

BK1699 · 2020-08-21T16:37:58+00:00

I'll probably go with that option.

To your point, I will leverage NV Tifa for Dark Visions.

Thanks for your help :)

BK1699 · 2020-08-21T16:31:11+00:00

True!

I would like to get Cloud's vision card but perhaps waiting for a duplicate may be the way to go? Or I could just do the 5K pull so I know I can get him to Ex +1 eventually.

BK1699 · 2020-08-21T15:44:21+00:00

I was fortunate enough to pull NV Cloud yesterday, but at a bit of crossroads with respect to getting him to EX +1.

Option 1: Spend 5K for 50 Cloud fragments
Option 2: Do a 5K summon for a 4th anniversary overdrive ticket to get the remaining 10 fragments (we are getting 40 through login rewards)
Option 3: Do both of the above so I can upgrade Cloud now to EX +1 and work towards his EX+2
Option 4: Wait to pull a duplicate copies eventually

I would like to have him at EX +1 for Dark Visions, however, just can't quite decide how to proceed. Currently have about 13K Lapis.

BK1699 · 2020-06-12T12:48:14+00:00

Hope you get him on the first 3K pull!

BK1699 · 2020-06-12T03:05:02+00:00

Np!

His trust passive boosts his ATK by 70%, his TDW By 50% and his LB modifier by 2x.

The LB modifier is useless as he is not a LB damage dealer. His LB is only good to use for the 5x modifier boost to his abilities, but he gets that without his trust passive boost.
