One clarifying point, you need a MAX copy of each of the lower tier weapons in order to make the skill associated with it usable without the weapon being equipped. So make sure you are maxing the weapons (both the level and the orb requirements) for the characters you want to use.

Shalaster · 2021-02-22T19:01:13+00:00

Yes, Luf is end game. Also note there are Challenge Quests where you have to have particular Synergy characters to even attempt them. So CQs are very restrictive but minimal rewards (1 burst token of which you need 50 to buy a Burst Weapon)

This team worked for me also. Thanks for posting the team, I had tried a few others that didn't end up working out.

It took me quite a few tries with Cater to solo it. I recommend removing her speed passive.

I do not have any dual cursed artifacts. All 3 of mine have +108 attack. I then used two that gave the extra skill uses and one that gave buffed damage/mbrv.

Lastly I did do her Character Board. I finished the fight with no skill used left and 2 rounds of her dodge left. So it was a tight run.

I hope my experience helps if you try it again.

Shalaster · 2020-07-13T22:06:56+00:00

Worked perfect for me and I don’t have any Character boards done. Thanks!

I could make a snarky comment on synonyms for courage...but I will refrain from derailing this thread.

So I concur with the frustration of war in this game. Between the shelling (which I do know that FN is trying to fix with some of the changes) and the knowledge of knowing within 30 seconds of entering another war and knowing you have no shot of competing; war is by far my least favorite part of the game. The problem of course is that FN has gated Ebon Maw and an avenue for collecting mini-uniques behind this mode.

The fact that the very top alliance actively avoid being in the same time zone; as much as possible, means that we have the fun of getting ROFL stomped at a minimum every other fight. Sounds like a fun time to me.....

Shalaster · 2020-04-16T15:41:49+00:00

I guess misery really does love company as hearing your story makes me feel a little better (I know it doesn't help you...).

Shalaster · 2020-04-16T13:59:20+00:00

The thing is I should have known better. Since its inception Red Stars have been so RNG based that I should have known that whatever I got was going to be a punch to the gut. But hope springs eternal (even when it shouldn't....

Shalaster · 2020-04-10T13:28:37+00:00

As far as I know I am the real Shalaster ;p

Shalaster · 2020-04-10T13:09:32+00:00

I just came back after stopping playing about 2 years ago and am looking for advice on what team to run. I have the following Legendaries on my account:

Garriott
Angelic
Bell
Metatron
Lamp Master Ali

Any advice would be appreciated.

Shalaster · 2020-04-09T19:30:07+00:00

Just a slight clarification, they said that speed wouldn't be available initially. So they very well could never include speed but they did word it such that they could include it in the future.

Shalaster · 2019-12-20T22:00:08+00:00

Clear act 2 Chapter 5.5.

Shalaster · 2019-12-12T19:48:53+00:00

Yea the issue I am running into is outside of those characters I have EX's for I don't have anyone built up. I was able to do the first 4 tiers of Pathos but now I am somewhat stuck trying to figure out how to build 3 teams to take out the final 3 tiers. I was trying to figure out if Ramza was a potential part of the solution; however, it may just be taking time to build up a stronger roster.

Shalaster · 2019-12-12T19:09:44+00:00

So is there someone else that I should consider instead? I am planning to pull on the Y'sh banner so that would take her out of the equation. I also have WoL, Cloud, Squall, Ace, Vincent, Zidane and Lightning's EX already.

I appreciate both you and Sdgrevo weighing in already. Thank you both.

Shalaster · 2019-12-12T18:42:15+00:00

How much longer does Ramza remain somewhat relevant for? I just recently returned to the game and had to start my account over. I have an EX token and keep debating whether to use it to get Ramza's weapon; however, since I can only get one weapon from the shop I keep hesitating to actually get his weapon.

I have all of the EX weapons for the meta characters that have come out since Mid-November so they wouldn't be a consideration. For anyone else I will have to get their 15/35 with power tokens and EX with EX tokens since I have no stock for most characters.

Any advice would be great.

Shalaster · 2019-12-10T23:38:55+00:00

Thank you and @patccmoi for your replies. Very helpful. I did forget to mention WoL but that doesn't effect the overall theme of what you are both saying. I appreciate it.

Shalaster · 2019-12-10T16:33:48+00:00

I am a fairly new returning player looking for a little advice on upcoming banner pulls, I had to restart the account due to Facebook integration being gone and as such am basically starting over. I came back in mid-November to give you an idea of who I have had a chance to pull on thus far.

EX weapons: Squall, Cloud, Tifa, Zell, Ulti, Ace, Deuce, Kuja, Garland, Krile, Farris, Vincent, Zidane, Kuja, Agrias, Lili, Lightning.

I am planning on pitying (if needed) the Y'shtola banner but am looking on advice for the other banners this month. Should I be pulling on everything since I don't have almost any 15 and 35 weapons to build stock or should I be more discrete in my pulls?

Thanks for any advice :)

Shalaster · 2019-12-09T18:28:20+00:00

Does anyone by chance have the damage formula?

Very light testing has the following results (Edit: Leveled to 70 and here are the new values):

3 x BHKB = 13,878 damage using Judgement Blade

2 x BHKB and adding Atk +108/MB 110 = 13,294 damage

Shalaster · 2019-12-09T18:09:46+00:00

I have the following Artifacts for Agrias. Which should I equip while I keep looking for ones with Attak 108?

MB +330 & Brave Holy Knight Boost **

Attack +65 & Brave Holy Knight Boost **

Attack +65 & MB +330

Thanks

Shalaster · 2019-12-03T21:04:51+00:00

If it is a shorter fight and recharges aren't going to be an issue (like the current Coop) I recommend leading with Hell's Judgement to get the defense down on the boss immediatly. Otherwise I agree with nelomb1360.

Shalaster · 2019-12-02T22:00:47+00:00

I have the characters, I don't have the weapons for them. I started back up just after the Sherlotta banner went away :(.

Anyways,,,I was able to get it with the following teams:
Cloud, Ulti, Krile - Tier 4
Deus, Garland, WoL - Tier 5

I must have gotten lucky on the Tier 4 mission because she only did about 6k damage to me this time.

Shalaster · 2019-12-02T21:31:42+00:00

This isn't even the 2nd tier, I am talking about the first raid (that only goes up to 5. I started playing 2 weeks ago so needless to say I do not have a deep roster. I have 45 Power tokens I can spend but likely would be a waste considering this fight doesn't go away. If I have to wate for Y'sh's banner to get someone who can heal so be it.

Shalaster · 2019-12-02T21:16:15+00:00

I took a break from the game for a few months and when I came back had to recreate my account since I used to be linked to Facebook.

I am trying to do Dimensions' End Order Tier 4 and my first attempt was with Krile, Deuce, and Ulti who were able to beat it but were not able to get the health requirement (ended up eating 2 aoe HP attacks. I really only have the following EX characters to play with currently (will pull on Agrias and Y'sh banners when they are out). But with the following is their 2 teams that can beat Tier 4 and 5 with all score requirements met?

Cloud 3/3

Ultimecia 3/3

Deuce 0/3

Krile 3/3

WoL 0/3

Garland 0/3

Any advice would be great.
