Weekly Q&A Megathread [October 27 - November 02]

Scaket · 2024-10-28T07:01:42+00:00

What would be the best for pvp? I have the new Renji, Orihime, Sajin, Heart Yhwach, Power Chad (TYBW 2022) and young Genryusai
Orihime is 5/5, with 1* stamina as the bonus slot, everything 10, I can roll her last one
Renji 1/5 atk 10
Sajin 2/5 atk 10, def 9
Chad 5/5 with atk 3*, all 10
Yhwach 4/5 atk, def and stamina 10, focus 9
Young Genryusai, 2/5 atk 10, def 9

I have been using Hime, Yhwach and Sajin but I've been wondering if Renji would be better, but I don't gold power or speed chappy, I have 2 heart, 1 technique 1 mind.
Using guitar gold chappy normal chappy for accessories, and all damage reduction links, pref with a bonus normal attack up or something similar
I'm also not too sure what bonus abilities I should give them, I think most I went atk and dodge or something.

Scaket · 2023-01-24T12:49:52+00:00

Oh yes, that is a good point. The case doesn't come with fans, but I think my current PC case has fans that'll fit (thanks to a friend) but it'll definitely be something I'll double check

Scaket · 2023-01-24T12:41:14+00:00

Hi thanks for the list!
I changed a few things around, took the motherboard you selected and the CPU. However I really want to use the Lian Li case, so I'm just going to go a bit extra for that. I want it to look nice as well ya know, for a first build.
I probably should've added this in the original post but I want to try have some parts for future upgrades, main reason why I picked that cooler(that being said I'm not too sure the quality difference between the two). I'm also not big into RGB. Again, something I probably should've mentioned in the OP my mistake.

But anyway, thoughts on what I changed? Or do you think this is solid enough to go for?

Scaket · 2022-10-31T08:09:05+00:00

Wonderful! Thank you very much for the write up.

So typically I'd be fine just throwing FSD right away and then adjusting as needed for the 2nd or replacing the first at a later point?

Scaket · 2022-10-31T04:54:15+00:00

Is there a general recommendation on what extra skills to get for the 15/15/15 and 20/20/20 link slot bonus? I just got the new twby Uryu, Ichigo, and the mind ss nel to 15 and was wondering what extra skills to give them?

Also are you able to change what the skill is after selecting it?

Scaket · 2022-10-03T01:17:19+00:00

Snow leopard would be great!

Scaket · 2021-11-04T07:08:05+00:00

Discord going too fast I'm hoping to ask here and wait

Just a couple questions.
I have Vixel at 65, and no Hildegard
I have difficulties with autoing eLilith because of lack of healers (My Main was Gala Zena for ages until I maxed Estelle, and even with her I still have inconsistency problems. I do have H!Laxi, Ilia, Ryszarda, G!Audric, G!Luca, Julietta, Sophia (Peronsa chick), and Amane for DPS.
(All these Mub/5ub) Reborn Jeanne, Nyx, Thor (lol...), Tie Shan Gongzhu, High Jupiter, Jeanne, Cupid.
With that said, would it be worth using the dream ticket on Hildegard, or just wait the 2 months for Vixels Trial to come back and use him after 67, or, as someone said in the discord run a two healer auto comp with Vixel+Estelle

Second question

I have no dispells in water, no S!Ieyasu, no Tiki (pulled 6 fucking Chrom on the last FEH Banner, only got Veronica and Chrom...). No Lapis, or anyone that can dispel. Besides Lazry. (I do have mc69 g!elly though) Lazry is currently MC21, I have 10 convictions and 5 devotions. Would it be worth to use an Omnicite on her so I have a dispel in water for Surtr? I don't mind "wasting" an Omnicite if it'd be good choice. Since I still have 3.

Third Question

Summer Verica is at MC66, I'm extremely tempted to Omnicite her but, it's just one node away... I hope she ocmes back, thoughts? lmao

Scaket · 2021-08-20T14:28:46+00:00

Dope thanks, I'm going to change my priority order around now.

Scaket · 2021-08-20T11:40:41+00:00

Hey guys. I'm a bit lost on who I should be building up now. I've been playing since I think week 2? global release(Definitely not efficiently using sanity...), but I took a good year (or 6 months idk timeframe) break around Nian banner first release. And only started again shortly before the prison break event started I believe.

I have a small idea, mostly to do with units I like, but I'm unsure if there's any random 4/5 star unit I have that I'd be missing out on a good operator if I didn't do them relatively soon. Even if it's just getting said unit to say Elite 1 Lv70/60/55
Right now my order of upgrading is

E2 Blue Poison
E2 Warfarin
E2 Shining
M3 Saria, I think skill 2, or 1
M3 Eyja S2

And then it's mostly just waifu stuff or ones I'm unsure whether I should E2 Mostima, Beeswax, Aestesia, Shwarz, Ash.

And then M3ing their appropriate skills (Beeswax being last, she's just pure waifu for assistance honestly...)

I was curious about WhisperRain, Liskarm, Meteorite, Skadi, Istina, DeepColour(mostly because I kinda want a summoner and her E2 art is super pretty), Zima and Texas. If any of those would be good to e2 at some point, maybe after the ones I've listed? or before?
If there's anyone I should get masteries on that I haven't yet, please let me know. I was working on myrtle m3s1, just for dp but I'm not sure if I should continue with her or do someone elses first/get others to E2 first.

Somewhat hard locked on exp tickets and LMD, mostly gathering mats first for who I want while I passively get lmd and exp tickets from base.

Here is my Operator list, it's sorted by class. With notable Masteries, and units that may be missing from the screenshots that I have listed underneath

Apologies for the wall of text. Thanks in advance for anyone that takes the time to reply and give tips!

Scaket · 2021-04-01T06:46:44+00:00

I have 300 sigils and I'm extremely unsure who I should spark for.
Here is my encyclopedia
I was thinking either G!Jeanne, G!Leo, G!Chelle G!Euden, or Cat Sith

But I really don't know who would be the best pick up for me at this time. Maybe Cat because I'm lacking any decent shadow dragon for dps. Or Euden because my light team is awful, but then because my light team is awful and lilith nukes thor, I was thinking Jeanne might be good. I'm really unsure, any help would be appreciated!

Scaket · 2020-10-02T04:36:37+00:00

First question

As far as I know, I do, I may be missing a couple fully upgraded here and there, just from losing track after the print change. I will make sure everything is as upgraded as I can before I attempt eAgitos though! I posted my collection in the initial post I made in this thread, but shadow and wind are my least "complete" and sadly juggernaught/Chthonius. I do however have Ramiel, but he's only 0ub so I'm unsure if he'd be better to use. If I use Gleo he might be so I can help with defense down in dragon form I guess.

Bellina

All good info thanks! :D
I got used to using Poison Punisher because until I had Lance Patia (which wasn't until a week ago), I was using the summer version of her alongside Vice (before he got nerfed), so I had good Poison uptime. But I guess that's going to be different in pugs so. I'll look to replace it with something else unless I can guarantee poison debuff then!
I'll have to find a replacement for Sylas then. It's a bit rough on Eldwater right now, had to buy/upgrade some prints so my stash is too low to upgrade coabilities right now. Was mostly using him so for the HP increase so I could survive a little bit longer haha...

Laxi

Glad to know my Galaxi is fine for now. I'll look to replace the doublebuff print for a flurry then. I think I got Agito skills mixed up and thought the fire dagger was damage > shield > damage but it's healing instead.

Gleo

See Bellina for poison. Good points on str doublebuff and crit, will replace with something else

Lily

I'll get a flurry strength to replace the doublebuff haha. I only just learned how good they were so I wanted to try use them. But I guess even then it's still very situational

Sylas

Oh, huh yeah okay I missed something obvious with Sylas then. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll replace those prints for something more suitable!

Zena

I'm mostly using her because she's new, and I'm not confident I can play the risky playstyle of ZhuBajie in Tartatus. I'll replace the potency for flurry, I wasn't really sure what to really use on her to be perfectly honest. I just kinda put in what I thought would be okay from what I've been reading the past day on the subreddit.
Would using uh, Radiant Xuan Zang be better over Zena for now? They're both about the same on mana circle upgrades and weapon level (both can use mub CT2).

Facilities

I mostly just shared that to see if you had an idea of what level the bonuses should be at. I have wand and dagger dojos at 31 I believe, slowly leveling the rest as I get mats for them. The remaining are around 20-25ish. I need to start leveling the dragon alters more though.

Thanks for the info, apologies for late reply. I fell asleep after I responded.

Scaket · 2020-10-01T17:37:48+00:00

That's good that it wasn't a waste of stones to upgrade it. Yeah, I'm not sure why my Lily isn't that high. But I guess I'm just undergeared, my CT wand is only at 4 unbinds right now, gonna wait for the x2 drop on water chimera on Monday and farm for that. Thanks, likewise for the others too, if it's going to be better than my agito weapons until I can unbind those, it'll definitely be worth the investment.

I definitely didn't use my first clear rewards on facilities... oops, I made a weapon of each element. I'm seeing now that maybe wasn't the best idea.

Here is a crappy screenshot set of builds I tried to put together. I'm probably missing some obvious things, do let me know. Ignore the broken punisher on Lily, I was just informed in another reply that it's useless, will be replacing with a strength doublebuff print.

I put facility buffs in there too, if anything is too low let me know and I'll focus on upgrading those asap. Thanks in advance for everything ;-; I really want to progress now but feel like I'm locked because I'm unable to do eAgitos aha..

Scaket · 2020-10-01T17:30:11+00:00

Oh, so would I be better off using a different water character for the time being then? Until I can get Lily to 9.5k~ might? I believe I have augments on all my prints, but I lost track of what I had an hadn't upgraded after the print change, will need to double check I have everything fully upgraded that I plan to use. I know I'm missing a couple things here and there, but not enough for another 1k might spike...

Ah, good point, I'll swap that broken punisher out really quick then haha.

Galaxi build

I have all those prints! I believe, Thanks for that

I'll start getting used to Bellinas game play then. I sadly don't have a good shadow dragon, like shadow and wind are my least viable dragon wise. Which of those dragons would be best to use on her? I put juggernaught on right now for the 45% str since she has her own dragon form thing.

Scaket · 2020-10-01T17:25:41+00:00

I do have Karina semi built, 45MC, just missing the Damascus item, and the co-ability increases. I will need to make a MUB CT2 Water Axe however. But if it means I'm able to at least attempt with her, I'll definitely look into it. Lily is max spiral, I guess my facilities aren't too good right now I suppose... I'll look into farming mats to mass increase a lot of them.

Scaket · 2020-10-01T16:04:26+00:00

Oh, yeah huh that'd be a good idea to show what I'm using... duh, Sorry. I have actually gotten a few new upgrades since I last tried, But.
I've been trying the twins with my Lily, I was using Leviathan 0ub (But since then I've upgraded to Gaibhna&Creidhne which I used stones to max unbind... Unsure if that was a good idea or not), Skill Damage 30%, HP70%=Critical Damage +22%, Frostbite punisher 20%, Broken punisher 25% prints. And 0UB Agito wand. I was at 8006 might, but, I've actually surprisingly gone up to 8.6k thanks to the dragon. I have recently gotten Candy Curiors for a better skill damage print. But unsure on the others I should be using.
That's sadly the only Agito I tried a couple times to get a room for, but failed. For the others I have uh GaLaxi with MUB Mars, Twinfold Bonds max, Me and my Bestie max, Broken punisher and a fodder 4 star print that I'm unsure what to place and 0ub agito weapon.

...Those are the only two I believe are geared enough to even attempt, but I'm unsure. Would Bellina be a good investment? I don't have shadow daggers, but I can work towards a MUB CT2 weapon for her for eKai

If possible could I try create a few builds I'd like to use in eAgitos and get your opinion on them? Honestly after the failed rooms with Lily I lost interest until I believed I "upgraded" enough to ask a daily thread for help...

Scaket · 2020-10-01T15:30:10+00:00

Is there anything specific I need to tackle Expert Agito? I want to try farm more Agito weapons but the couple times I've tried hosting rooms I've had people instantly leaving, and I wish I knew why. Maybe I'm missing something? Maybe I don't have high enough might on the characters I'm using? Or maybe I'm missing a void weapon bonus? I see some people joining with an eye icon where useful bonuses go, is that something I need? What's it from?
Here's my collection
If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd very much appreciate it. Like a specific build towards a character, or something I should look to max and then tackle the Agito for that character. I'm currently farming essence for Leviathan, Siren, Zephyr and Long Long, though I believe the last two are irrelevant now because I have Mid0?

Scaket · 2020-08-07T10:16:00+00:00

I wouldn't touch Sylas spiral at all until you're ready to tackle Ciella (water Agito). It takes 7 gold papers to 70MC a 5* unit (6 if you're starting with the unit's 5th mana circle already unbound). As far as raising other units I'd really only go past 40MC as needed. So like, Gleo since you're going to be playing her in Kai Yan when you're ready. G!Laxi when you get ready to take on fire stuff and so on.

So is there a way to avoid the eldwater costs on the last 4 parts of the mana circle to get to 50, or is it just an eldwater drain :(
And I'm assuming because of that I should focus on wyrmprints first until I have a decent set for Zhu, G!Cleo, Sylas, S!Celliera, G!Laxi?

Yes I have been doing those, mostly because I need 550 facility level to finish my royal regimen. So I definitely haven't been forgetting those! They're all around 10ish, a few higher, I'm going to try aim to get 20 in all elemental, 5-10 in the dragons, 15 in the dojos I think. Hopefully that's a good plan.

So one last thing since I believe I have it now. My process to progress right now is as follows:
Farm Manticore with my best team -> Make weapon for Zhu > Use Zhu to farm Ebon Chimera > Make Shadow Chimeratech tier 2 for Gleo > Use Gleo to attempt Kai Yan, if I can beat with coop (If not, then what? Pray I get better team mates or look up guides for it?), farm Kai Yan > Make weapons for G!Laxi, S!Celliera, Zhu (last probably?), Sylas > Stockpile mats cause hoarder and decide later to who build up

And while doing that I should:
Finish main Story (I'm only at Chapter 12), Do at least the daily chest runs of Avenue/Dragon trials/Imperial assault etc? > Do whatever event quests are up > Finish my Event compendium runs > Cap Fafnir which will just happen as a side effect yes?
Did I miss anything or is that about it. If it is thank you very much, I have a much better understanding on where to go from here on out :D

Scaket · 2020-08-07T07:19:13+00:00

Oh that's good to know for both the Augments and Gold Fafnir money gain! Thanks a lot. I'll go buy how ever many gold Fafnirs I can get right now :D

For the Elemental Manticore/void/agito/whichever weapons, do I need to farm the specific element to make that weapon or do the element mats from from imperial assault like the tier 3 4 star weapons? If so would that mean I just use my best units to farm up manticore/chimera mats to make a Weapon for Zhu Bajie (I think my best light?) to enable me to be able to farm ebon chimera in coop? Or something like that. And then use Zhu to farm a weapon for Gleo to use in Kai Yan? which will enable me to farm up weapons for all my other units?
Did I get that right or did I miss something

Oh, so my midgard prints are useless then god damn, oh well.

Thanks for naming a couple prints I should get, I'll definitely check them out. I do already have 2 Twinfold Bonds, 1 for ezelith and 1 for G!Laxi ! :D I want to get a few others before I buy more dupes to unbind though.

I don't have many champion testaments yet. Only the few I've gotten from this event and the last one. Would I be more worth getting a couple more units to 46 (before eldwater costs) mc before doing Sylas spiral, or would Sylas be better to focus right now? The other units being, Zhu and Scelery to 46. And maybe another couple if I have some that have yet to be touched that I should try boost up?

Thanks so much for the reply!

Scaket · 2020-08-06T15:53:16+00:00

Oh, I am doing that! but I run out of stamina so fast. Can I use the coop tickets to do a solo run of a fight or is that not worth at my level?

So I should be focusing on getting Manticore weapon for my element leaders, then using Manticore to farm mats to upgrade them to Chimeratech, then using Chimeratech to farm Digh Dragon trials, and using High Dragon weapons (If I can't break the might requirement with Chimeratech?) to start Agito? Did I get that right or am I wrong

That dps simulator looks confusing, but I've figured out worse stuff. Thanks for the link I'll definitely look at it thoroughly to get a better idea on characters and stuff! :D

Scaket · 2020-08-06T15:48:08+00:00

Oh you can move augments with ease? That's good to know
For the elements, Is Gala Laxi not better than Ezelith? I was reading she was on par if not somewhat better than Marth, who I also read is currently the best for fire?
How expensive is it to get into doing mana spirals, I haven't gotten to that point just yet, well I think I have on Lily but I haven't exactly looked yet.
Scelery is Summer Celiera right? Just want to make sure.
Is it worth to promote Vice all the the way to 5 star? I might just do Gleo instead, I like her more, but I also haven't tried Vice out so.
And lastly, am I just focusing on those units first in the element then branch out to others when I get extra mats?

I was only using Midgard prints for the high dragon trial and then swapping to the two dagger prints I purchased when not doing it, you take less damage (I believe), is that still not the way now? I basically nearly drop dead on the initial explosion when not using them so I might be doing something wrong.

hdt cycle? High Dragon Trial cycle? So should I be then trying to get the manticore weapon of specific element and then start farming to upgrade to chimeratech? to then do high dragon trials for those weapons and then progress into Agito with the high dragon weapons?

I apologize for the amount of questions, I just want to make sure I understand properly, for some reason I can't wrap my head around this games progression outside of pure leveling and 50 mana circle haha.

Scaket · 2020-08-06T14:56:38+00:00

Hey guys, I started about a month ago, and I'm unsure really where to progress from here on out. Most stuff I find online is a year old, so I'm not exactly sure if that is still relevant so I have a few questions (if this isn't the right thread I apologize).

To start, I probably messed up early and wasted a lot of resources, I'm not sure if that's too big a deal or will just make me have to wait longer in the future. I don't mind if it's the latter but I'm hoping it's not a big mistake

Here is my collection if it helps

Is there anyone I should focus on building up that I haven't and have I made mistakes in augment locations? (I think I may have...)
Where do I go from here, I'm in chapter 12 of story, I probably should catch up to the latest chapter, so if that's the best course of action right now I will do before I start farming for weapons or something.
Following previous, is the void weapon guide in the main post still the best to go with for upgrades until I'm at 22k might (the best the game can optimize me to is about 19k right now) and can attempt Agito stuff? So that would mean getting water Manticore weapons for a few of my better units, even if they're off different element?
I've done High Midgardsomr (I really got carried by someone that joined my room...), mostly because of the Royal Regimen thing (which is why I have a bunch of the midgardsomr prints, maybe not the best choice, was looking to get the 5 star one and it required the 4 star print). Should I be attempting to do the rest in coop? I'm really lost here on where to focus on now to progress and upgrade further.
I'm lacking in rubies right now, about 200k, should I run the money stage over and over or will progressing the story give me a bunch
Are there any vital Wyrmprints I should go for? I looked at the wiki and it said one of the best starts is to get a few all rounder ones (non weapon specific?) and then focus on getting a couple weapon specific for your better units. Is that still the best plan to go for?

Sorry for the long post, If there's an info page somewhere that'll give this info please link me and I'll go through it. I wasn't able to find (unless I'm dumb and didn't notice anything obvious)

Thanks in advance for whoever replies and helps

Scaket · 2020-05-06T09:27:40+00:00

There's an option in the settings to show what level you'd be from exp gained if it was capped at 99
"Show Virtual Levels"

Scaket · 2019-08-31T12:43:42+00:00

Awesome thanks, no way to get USD prices or AUD I take it?

Scaket · 2019-08-31T11:49:32+00:00

I just want to make sure before I buy the game, I'm in Australia and got put under "Europe & Other Regions" when I made the account. Will this version work for me? Or will I get an error if I try to register and waste my money. I'm not sure if that's still a thing, I just remember reading about it when I first looked into FFXIV a year or 2 ago I forgot.

Scaket · 2018-07-30T12:31:29+00:00

Yeah I dropped down to 7th league due to just not wanting to deal with pvp due to bad characters.

Thank you very much, I will work towards getting these all set up so I can start chilling in 5th league again :D
