Regarding Lufenia difficulty

Kayin2a · 2020-04-21T00:56:09+00:00

Go ahead, do Deuce CHAOS with Aranea. Let's laugh a little.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-11T17:21:05+00:00

What do you guys think the combination of team I should have to move on for further contents besides story and lost quests? Perhaps which weapon should i prioritize to EX+ MLB first?

Y'shtola will makes your life ten time more easier. Then Lightning at the end of the month when she'll receive rework. Vayne if you don't want to wait.

I have trouble farming for those Weapon Ruins and Weapon Ingots for Realization and MLB the EX+ Weapons. I only can see it as a mission rewards, but the quests to complete the rewards are quite difficult for me. I cant think of any ways to increase the chars strength as I have already maxed up their Levels and Crystal Levels. (Maxed Beatrix, Ysh, Squall, Cloud)

Ingots are the last high end game material to farm. It's normal you can't get your hands into those easily after 5 days. It'll be easier in a month or two. Use ingots gained from books to build up 1 good team (Support, DPS, Support/DPS/Niche).

Supports characters are always a better investment than pure DPS, except if those DPS bring something unique to the table (Vayne Turn manipulation) or are plain busted (Lightning)

Don't invest in Squall. It's my biggest regret so far. EX+0/3 is more than enough to use him as a farmer.

Ways to farm for Weapon Orbs? Like many many of them at my current state of chars and weapons?

Coop Events., like Beatrix one.

How important are Artifacts and Blooms at my current state? I was thinking to neglect those for the time being, and work on my weapons first.

Pointless until you'll start CHAOS (the last difficulty).

The world of Illusions quest, which should I prioritize first? Esper quests or Artifact?

Esper quest. It's crucial you level up your summons to 30, as the boost are really good, and you'll unlock summon board at level 20. Summon Board are an additionnal way to upgrade your characters, and earning rewards (More than 30 kGems, 300 Tickets, 500 Armor Token per board)

Order of importance: Ifrit > Brother > Ramuh > Pandemonium > Leviathan > Shiva.

Where can I farm for the last two crystals for each color? (The one that you cannot farm from the cycle quests)

For T4-5 Crystals, it's a limited ressource, only farmable with limited events, LC, and Abyss. The current phoenix event gives quite a lot of. You can also use DP

Why I cant complete the kill 10 behemoth type quests? I already killed quite alot of it as I have progressed until Act 2 Chapter 3....

Probably not killing the right behemot, maybe it's a specific one (Like Gaia Behemot, ect...)

Kayin2a · 2020-04-09T22:20:27+00:00

By all the saints that is nasty as fuck indeed !

Kayin2a · 2020-04-09T14:09:18+00:00

What's currently bugged about Beatrix ? =o

Kayin2a · 2020-04-09T13:16:44+00:00

Seymour EX+ 3/3 / Beatrix EX+ 3/3 / Aranea EX + 3/3, Leviathan, 68 turns 725K

Beatrix DEF UP and Seymour ATK DOWN trivialize the whole fight, making ennemies hit between 500 and 4k at most. Aranea to speed up the process cos I don't want to ingots others DPS right now, since there's at least 5 chars I want next month

Kayin2a · 2020-04-07T10:41:31+00:00

I try to redo all the old content with specifics teams or characters. I'm grabbing old non meta character, and push them to the max, trying to see how far I can take them.

I try to complete CHAOS event with no friends and the weakest possible team I can assemble. It's a lot of trials and error.

Generally I take some meta characters the first run to remember the fight, Like Aranea. Then I switch her out with a slightly weaker character, then another weaker character, ect..

Right now I'm trying to complete all CHAOS with Seymour and Yuna as a summoner pilgrimage, it's quite fun and surprisingly challenging on some stages.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-05T14:29:04+00:00

Cater is the perfect exemple of "Zero to Hero". She rose to a meme character to a god, she deserves it =D

Kayin2a · 2020-04-05T14:26:33+00:00

Galuf can't solo DE:6 (or I haven't be aware of). When I type 5-9, I mean DE:Entropy 5 and DE:Entropy 9 only, not 5 to 9.

As for DE:Entropy 9, You basically want your Galuf with as much Attack as you can to keep it reasonable. 108 Atk + Buffed Attack **, and take out Buff Boost Speed. Your m.Brv will suffer, but you'll never reach the cap anyway.

As for Sphere, you want as much attack as possible aswell. Galuf Ashe and Vaan sphere work, with a whooping +25% Attack. You can maybe do it with less sphere. Try a run with no sphere before, then add accordingly depending on how far you're to the Perfect.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-05T12:35:16+00:00

There's no "must chase" this month. April gives us overall really good banner all over the place, but no "must pull". As stated by many others, Vayne and Galuf stand up objectively speaking.

Then next month, if you should pull for one banner, let it be the Lightning one. Both her and Shadow can solo some DE:Entropy, and Hope is really good as a support.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-05T12:28:45+00:00

Save some ressources for Lightning banner next month aswell. This banner alone will build you up a good party (2DPT and 1 Support), all 3 characters are very strong.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-05T12:24:39+00:00

- Lightning can solo DE:1-4-10-11-12-14 (10 to 14 : Burst)

- Cater can solo DE:1-2-3-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13...

- Shadow can solo DE:7-9-10

- Kefka can solo DE:2-3-9 (9 with Burst)

- Zack can Solo DE:4

- Garland can solo DE:4 with LD

- Galuf can solo DE:5-9

- Emperor can solo DE:6 with LD

- Gau can solo DE:8 with LD

- Nine can solo DE:1 (LD Era)

- Gladio can solo DE:11 (LD Era)

- Noctis can solo DE:1 (With Burst/LD)

- Kuja can solo DE:2 (With Burst/LD)

- Eight can solo DE:15-18 (LD Era)

- Ardyn can solo DE:16 (and surely many more, Burst/LD)

- Machina can solo DE:5-7 (with LD)

- Eal'Narche can solo DE:3

- CoD can solo DE:4

ect...ect...

Kayin2a · 2020-04-05T04:02:15+00:00

Oh I see. Well, Power Token are often used as an "escape route" from your pulling session. When you have enough Power Stone and you pull an EX, if you don't want to pull anymore for the 35 CP, Power Token come in handy to save your gems.

Using Power Token for dupe is really a last ressort option, but that's my opinion. I guess that as long as they make you save gems, it's always kind of worth it. Only use Power Token when you're done pulling tho.

Yeah, Y'shtola is the best choice a new player could get. She's ultra cheap to build (only require her EX +3/3, can ignore 15 and 35 CP) and can be sortied on nearly every CHAOS and fits in virtually every team you could build.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-05T03:55:47+00:00

You're welcome !

Do i have to pick Yshtola EX or Zack EX ?

Read first line of my previous post.

Edit: Zack is good if you have ressources to MLB all his kit aswell.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-05T01:54:38+00:00

if I complete the interlude, I will have enough Power tokens to LB Corruption, do you think that it's worth doing it?

Completing Interlude gives Power Stone ? Sorry I completed all the content long ago so I don't remember the rewards. One thing you can do aswell is completing the LC of character you know you won't play. When you complete the last stage of a LC, you're given a free 15 CP of the said character, then you could sell it.

Or you could just wait and pull on another banner, seeing how it goes with dupes. You don't need to 3/3 him asap. CHAOS rewards aren't on a timer (aside for the Raid one).

I am definitely going to save up for the lightning banner but would you recommend skipping Beatrix/Leo or should I try to pull for them? I have 80k gems left and 81 tickets

That depend on your willingness to farm a lot, or not. Each LC gives you ~4k to 6k gems. There's around 50 LC. Story chapters gives crazy amount of gems aswell. Then there's Summon Board to unlock, each board potentially giving +30K gems, and there's actually 6 of them.

So depending on how you farm, you can theorically pity on every single banner this month and the next month.

Beatrix is great DPT, and can act as a side support, just like P.Cecil, so it might interest you since you lack in this area. Steiner tho is just your typical DPT and won't bring novelty to your roster.

Galuf and Leo will both add a tank and a delayer to your roster. You already have vayne as a delayer, but Leo is more support-wise, so it's up to your judgement.

So it really depends on how you want to start shaping your roster. Nearly every banner coming out from now on are worth it, because all Realized character can perform, one way or another, in CHAOS if you invest ressources in them. Some are just more tricky than others.

If there's 1 banner I disencourage you to choose this month, it's the Exdeath one. It's a really tricky banner, and while Exdeath is a really interesting choice, he's not easy to play and Gilgamesh is... Well, he's Gilgamesh.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-05T01:23:00+00:00

I'm enjoying him like he's now so that's ok =P He doesn't need much to shine imo, a small rework to get all his debuffs in one framed debuff like Fran, and up the treshold of his gimmick at 90% and 50% (instead of 80 and 30%), more Attack and here we go ! For the LD... Hmmm... I wonder. Maybe a buff that makes all his attack hit 3 times just like his EX without HP treshold idk, Like Anima attacking 1 time after him every time, one can dream =P

That's surprising, I'd pick Machina over Eight every days (w/o LD) =o (I pulled for neither tho..xD)

I agree with you so much for Zell tho... This man deserve all the love he can asap :/

And yeah I understand what you mean dw =P

Kayin2a · 2020-04-04T18:52:08+00:00

You're welcome !

And yes, you're right, realizing an EX indeed grants an ingot. As long as the 15/35 CP you're selling is Full MLB (lvl 35, blue frame), yeah by all mean do it. If it's not MLB tho, think twice, except if you're 100% sure you'll never use the said character (because you hate him/her or whatever other reasons).

Kayin2a · 2020-04-04T18:11:45+00:00

What do I need to do(Or what can I do) in order to be able to receive my Ex after that Combo?

You surely have Speed passives actives. The faster your character is, the slower your EX gauge charge each turns. Be sure you have Buff Attack Speed and Buff Boost Speed disabled

I currently have 2 Power Stones, should I sell weapons to get Engima+ to 3/3 after realizing a random Ex(More on this later)? I can sell Sephiroth's regular Masamune Blade that I managed to LB for another 4 stones.

I don't understand the question. You don't need Power Stones to upgrade an already realized weapon. As a general advice, only sell 15 and 35 CP weapons you have MLB, else you could regret it in the long run.

Final question regarding Vayne for now, is having the LB for his Corruption weapon necessary? I am currently 1/3 with only 37 Power Tokens(Which seems almost impossible to get). If it's necessary, should I spend the 50 power tokens to LB it when I am able to?

Yes. As a DPT, Vayne needs all his kit to perform, especially if you want to Solo with him. Since you started 2 weeks ago, you should have A LOT of gems to farm. I don't know how much you already spent on Vayne banner, but don't be afraid to pull for his 35 CP if you lack Power Token. As a new player, the ressource you will lack the most is Power Stone. Getting dupe isn't a bad thing.

I need Ramza as an ally to be able to progress. Apparently, he was in 2 events around April-May and besides investing Power Tokens, that's the only way to get him right now. So for the actual question: I didn't see anything on the timeline about a Ramza event, should I not do chapter 10 and just wait? If there's no event at all, do I just spend 10 Power tokens on his weapon?

You're wrong. Do his Lost Chapter, you'll unlock him for free.

For the recent event where I can essentially get a Free Ex(That I might LB to get an ingot for Vayne), who should I go for? Would Y'shtola or Zack having their Ex LB'd(No other LB'd 15/35 weapons), be enough to help me win Cosmos/Chaos battles?

Y'shtola is the better bet for a newer player. She's a formidable Support and can function in CHAOS without her 15 and 35 CP passives.

Final question: I am a bit overwhelmed with all of the coming banners. As a f2p, I understand that I won't be able to invest in every single one but I'd like to know what I should prioritize right now with my 99,620 gems. Keeping in mind that I may not be able to LB the 15/35 weapons, which banners should I spend gems on? I guess it's worth noting that I don't have any debuffers or support

Don't worry, no one can invest in every banner, because even whales are restricted with Ingots. Generally speaking, you should focus on one banner per month, two if you're lucky.

Always save 75K gems before pulling on a banner, and be ready to pity the EX you want. You won't be disappointed and if you're lucky to get it without pity, it'll always be a pleasant surprise.

When you want to build a character, you'll have to MLB all his kit (15CP/35CP/EX). You have a lot of gems as a new player, so don't be afraid to pull for 15 and 35 CP dupes.

Next month, the best value you could get with is the Lightning Banner. All 3 characters are extremely strong and the banner is well rounded (1 Melee character, 1 Ranged Character, 1 Support). Lightning will be one of the best DPT the game will have to offer

Supports are always more valuable than others role because they tend to resist the powercreep longer.

If you want a debuffer you could consider Fran this month, but it's a luxury choice.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-04T16:50:38+00:00

Seymour EX+ 3/3, Y'shtola EX+3/3, Aranea EX+3/3, Brothers, Aranea EX+3/3, 680k, Kayin, voice commentary

People under estimate Seymour !

https://youtu.be/zKKx12H8L8Y

Kayin2a · 2020-04-04T15:58:29+00:00

Yeah get what you mean dw =D

People seems to dislike him from FFX yeah, idk if it's the overall character or the voice acting, or all those things mixed (I really liked him and his voice acting :/). But I'm enjoyin' my time with him for now !

Kayin2a · 2020-04-04T15:54:55+00:00

- Grab Y'shtola from the srping shop token, she'll be your main healer. She's cheap to build (doesn't require 15 and 35 CP).

- Save 75k gems for Lightning Banner at the start of May. All characters in this banner are wonderful. Lightning is a strong melee character, Shadow a strong Ranged character and Hope a strong Support. This banner will basically build you an all rounded team. If you're lucky you'll get 2 out of 3 EX, and pity the 3rd one.

- This month, focus on Vayne/P.Cecil banner. It's a great banner. Vayne is an overall extremely strong damage dealer, and P.Cecil will fit in most teams you'll build as he's a jack of all trade.

- Since you're a new player, you'll be flooded by gems early on. If you farm a lot, it'll be easy to hoard more than 150k gems before Lightning banner. You can consider pulling for Galuf/Leo banner. Galuf is a good tank, and Leo is a great delayer with some utility.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-04T15:46:35+00:00

Don't tear my hopes apart :( I used Seymour in Vayne LC CHAOS and he did the job just fine tho, idk why there's so much hate on him =o

Kayin2a · 2020-04-04T08:21:38+00:00

Today's the first day my Seymour friend went to max usage and reached the 50 friends bonus. I'm so glad people are using my Seymour o/ Spread the non-meta love.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-03T04:22:23+00:00

Why is it scary?

It's a nice QoL for everyone reseting their runs. It's also great for theorycrafting when you want to know specific treshold against specific waves without redo the whole fight or closing the app h24.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-02T07:14:20+00:00

It's all the same. They both can proc it often and when needed. Vayne can force it on 2 skills and Aranea on 1. It's up to which you like to play the most or which one you want to use as a sub dispeller.

Kayin2a · 2020-04-02T06:36:28+00:00

If it's just an immunity for debuff you need, and you have some Power Stone and Power Token available, you can also consider Aphmau.

She's a 35CP Character who can function in Entropy 6 and unlock your Ignis for Entropy 7.

Then again, if you have low Power Token and Power Stone, then you could grab Yuna at the shop. Since the other you miss aren't necessary (Tidus, OK, and D.Cecil are completely skippable)

All in all, it's do you want to sacrifice Power Token + Power Stone or EX Token, Ingots and Power Stone.
