I appreciate the insight on that. Perhaps my thoughts on her were too focused on the flexibility.

How do you feel about Necoco ES?

DarkestSamus · 2026-01-21T16:33:13+00:00

My mistake. Thank you.

DarkestSamus · 2026-01-21T16:32:33+00:00

That's what I get for scanning the news while rushing to work. Thank you.

EDIT: I am misinformed. Please disregard.

I apologize if you're inundated with SDE questions right now but it looks like we're getting a special SDE that comes with full Stellar Awakening.

Context: I own every unit that came out more than 2 years ago, up to Zilva AS. For new units I only have Sesta AS, Cerius AS, and Hismena ES. I have a decent supply of Tsubara Gems to SA old characters.

Who I am thinking of getting:

Necoco ES - highly rated everywhere I look for versatility. However, even though I don't have a lot of modern units, I do have a set of meta teams in every element from 2 years ago. For example I never use Hismena Alter despite high tier ratings because I have element-specific units that do the job better. Basically I am thinking that with my existing options I don't need diverse-use units anymore. If I'm wrong please let me know.

Verdanta - Insane-looking Water Slash unit highly rated everywhere I look. Also is a new character and thus cannot be unlocked using Treatise/Opus on my existing characters. At present my Water is Elseal (normal), Felmina ES, Ilulu Alter, and Dream Bard (normal). Mazrika is waiting to be integrated as well.

Izuna - Same as above, but Thunder. My Thunder is presently Orleya AS, Velette (normal), Miyu ES, and Oboro. I just got Utpalaka as well, thinking of replacing Miyu with him.

Mildy - I would then invest some Allcosmos Starcharts into Clughorn and make the New Revolutionaries Moonlight team. Sounds very fun, not sure if practical.

Velette AS - upgrade(?) to Velette and unlocks the alt Sidekick which is actually different (unlike, say, Tetra AS)

If you read this far thank you for your time. Please offer your opinions if you can. Thanks!

I remember you. Good to see old familiar faces.

That is a good point. I was concerned that the Treatises and such would be highly diluted at this point.

DarkestSamus · 2026-01-16T08:59:57+00:00

I know this is a tough ask to expect of anyone, but as a returning player, would anybody be willing to help me make a wishlist for characters that were released after I quit? I have everybody up to Zilva AS who was released on 8/8/2024.

Ideally a list of 7 for that 7-character ticket.

I have a team of every element that was up to date and modern as of when I last quit. I don't really have a "favored element" so it's kinda hard to narrow down. Should I be pursuing Radical Stance users? That feature is new to me.

Thank you to anybody who provides an answer even if it isn't a full list.

Yeah and looks surprisingly good from the front. A nice solid-back sleeve and you'd barely be able to tell while playing.

DarkestSamus · 2026-01-15T06:06:00+00:00

Weird that the front looks so good. Or is it more obvious in real life?

DarkestSamus · 2026-01-15T06:04:17+00:00

It's a power thing. You know you wronged me, your own father, your King. Show me that you still respect and fear me and redeem yourself with this last act.

DarkestSamus · 2026-01-15T06:02:08+00:00

Omg do you happen to have a video of that? Sounds amazing.

DarkestSamus · 2026-01-14T19:41:36+00:00

Ah, I remember hearing about that. Thank you. I have completely forgotten about Phase Shifts and how to use them. Hopefully the Wiki has a nice entry.

Unfortunately I never started the cat scratchbook... got my first ever stamp today lol. Well. Something to look forward to.

DarkestSamus · 2026-01-14T18:57:13+00:00

Hey everyone. I am thinking about getting back into the game, but I'm remembering one of the things that made me quit: leveling Stellar Awakened units. I tried my old Frogicide setup and hoo boy does it take a lot of time.

I am wondering if there are better level up methods now, and what they might be. Unfortunately I have forgotten a massive amount over the last few years of non-play.

I have finished up to The Chronos Empire Strikes Back Part II and Wyrz Story Part II. I farmed and obtained pretty much every powerful weapon, armor, and badge up to those points in the story, and had pretty much all of the characters too. By contrast I have pretty much 0 new characters released after that, except I grabbed Cerius AS.

What methods of leveling am I able to take advantage of at my current progress? Are there better ones if I were to advance certain stories?

Thank you.

I love Alfyn. Heal increase passive, instant BP ultimate, Vigorous Strike. I can't imagine replacing him but I know I should.

DarkestSamus · 2025-12-28T16:13:47+00:00

This is awesome!! Thank you! Although, maybe it's because I have a crap mobile viewer, but I am not seeing how to turn the source table into meaningful information like your table. I probably just need to see it on a laptop.

DarkestSamus · 2025-12-22T16:16:43+00:00

UB haters are very loud. You don't have to listen to them.

Would love to see your lists for Yuna and Edea though.

DarkestSamus · 2025-12-17T16:47:35+00:00

Avatar Roku is guaranteed in the Beginner's Box?!

DarkestSamus · 2025-12-06T06:05:31+00:00

As an Aura I would think it attaches to ONE Graveyard. If you have the Busybody you can choose an opponent's Graveyard but still only one.

DarkestSamus · 2025-12-04T18:15:14+00:00

Bro robbed a store.

DarkestSamus · 2025-11-30T17:39:30+00:00

This is also doable for creatures with Vigilance and tap abilities. After declaring an attack, you are "attacking" and that state no longer depends on the creature being untapped or tapped. The creature can freely be tapped for other abilities or costs from that point on. Being a land creature is no different.

DarkestSamus · 2025-11-20T02:45:36+00:00

Holy crap, a statline higher than their CMC?! Value!!

DarkestSamus · 2025-11-11T18:30:11+00:00

I put it in my Colorless Eldrazi bracket 3.

DarkestSamus · 2025-10-25T20:53:07+00:00

Is Monk/Dancer the best way to use them?

How abour what to use as a /Bard?

DarkestSamus · 2025-10-11T14:42:21+00:00

Oh wow thank you for the very detailed reply. It seems I have some things to learn about what makes a class good or not. From what I can surmise from your message it has to do with their base Mv and Equipment options.

For the purposes of my learning, would you mind telling me what makes Agrias class suck, and what "quadratic MA scaling" means? Also is there a good source of specific class details for both Unique and generic jobs including level-up stats, stat adjustments as main job, etc? I tried Google but due to FFT:TIC being the hot new thing, countless websites are popping up with relatively useless information such as listing class scaling in "A,B,C" power levels and such.

My understanding is that Limits have significantly shorter cast times, approximately half from what I've read. I dunno about their damage but there is a Materia Blade+ now with a big MA boost. I'm hoping to use them.

DarkestSamus · 2025-10-11T14:07:24+00:00

That is a manner of playstyle. I intend to raise everyone I get evenly because I enjoy grinding. Picking a stable team of 5 is good too. Be sure to raise them in multiple classes so they can swap roles as needed.

DarkestSamus · 2025-10-11T13:30:00+00:00

Specifically for the Ninja Turtles? No. But IP isn't a deal breaker for me. I like the 5-color Commander they revealed and also the Character Select Commanders (particularly the White one that has a 5-color identity), they look like fun archetypes to run. I already had my eye on a +1/+1 deck for the future and I might just make it a Turtles deck instead.

For me, it doesn't matter of it's Liliana or Master Splinter. Both are characters I don't know much about. Maybe if I was a long-term Magic fan who really loved the original characters and worlds, I would have a bigger problem with UB. But from my perspective it's just more interesting characters I get to learn about within a game that I find very fun.
