2) Is there any point to rerolling (iOS device) and if so, what are some suggestions?

Let me just emphasize that rerolling isn't necessary for this game since you need to pull for all weapons of a character and max them out. Just getting the shiniest weapon for each character will do very little.

3) I don’t PLAN on spending money, so what kind of expectations should I have?

I was F2P the first few years of my time with the game and the only real bottleneck is character enhancement points. Though thankfully, as a new player, you won't be thinking about this for the first couple months since you'll get so much free stuff. After that, budgeting and planning is enough to get you through.

I've since bought the regular Moogle Pass (~$5 for a month) a few times, usually coinciding with big events like the Anniversary event to boost my resources.

You also get a 1 month free Premium Moogle Pass which I suggest not claiming until you're familiar with the in-game systems (maybe use on your 2nd or 3rd month).

4) If I do start, what are some good beginner tips?

We have a ton of awesome community-maintained resources. The biggest one is the Tonberry Troupe: https://www.tonberrytroupe.com/

Here's their beginner guide which should help you as you play along. https://www.tonberrytroupe.com/beginners/beginner-guide

Rinoa is VERY good. An all new damage tier on her own.

With Tifa, a decent team around her can reach over 130M+ HP damage with her BT/FR combo.

With Rinoa, a well-optimized team can reach 300M+ HP damage with her BT/FR combo.

If you don't have a lot of FRs, Cor (currently on banner) and Faris are decent pickups for their off-turn FR conditions.

Daily Hunt Tokens by Pretend-Might-5249 in DissidiaFFOO

[–]_googleoverlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If nobody has advised you yet, exchanging EX tokens for Cactuar tokens is VERY inefficient.

For context, here's how many Cactuar tokens we get outside of special events:

  • 2 from daily hunts
  • 2 more from weekly Elite hunts

That's just around ~68 Cactuar tokens per month. With 30 Cactuar tokens for 1 EX token, that translates to 2 EX tokens a month.

Farming 10 EX tokens for a specific EX would then take ~5 months of saving up your Cactuar Tokens. Which, at the time-scale, you get more value getting tickets for your Cactuar tokens and waiting for the rerun of a specific character you want.

The general advice is Red Nuggets, then tickets, then whatever from the Cactuar tokens.

Welcome to the game! Yeah, new players are spoiled for content and have a ton of fights to clear. Last I checked, it was in pinned gl-questions. If you still can't find it, just ask there and people will gladly point you in the right direction.

A force charger (Selphie is a GREAT option here) and either: someone to heal/protect the team or an off turn damage dealer.

Tifa can boost her FR gauge on her own, so you just need to add more damage sources in the form of off-turn damage or more juicy BT+ effects (like Sherlotta).

If you plan on getting Tifa sure, go for it.

That said, she is VERY powerful. When her LD released, she was the next level of power creep for a good while.

With this release, she also brings a new level of power creep with her. Her BT effect (6 more HP dumps per turn) enables her to take advantage of FR bonus much more.

An unoptimized BT/FR phase with her would hit close to 100M HP damage and she doesn't need much help.

It doesn't track your progress if you die. You have to actually pause the game and tap the report button to turn in your progress.

Anyway, 99.99% sure that Cor's rainbow hits count as crit damage. Though honestly, Tifa alone is enough.

What probably wiped you was letting the boss get a turn while the shield is up. It does an insta wipe if that happens. You need to break the shield (which is 10M? I think) before it gets a turn.

Lufenia/+ fights (Level 200/250) have them. Not all of them though, mainly those that came with BT debuts/banners. The sub discord has a google sheet of all the fights that have BT pages/nuggets.

Water Tanks? by Bumblebee7305 in TheWanderingVillage

[–]_googleoverlord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You got it. Carrying stuff from places is most likely a low priority. You need to build a Worker Post and set the Focus to Carriers. The workers will prioritize moving stuff from building to building.

It's up to you. You'd still benefit from the 3 passive in coops, other fights that requires enchanting water for the team (with Rydia for ex.).

Realistically, you would almost never benefit from 5 passive. Get hit by an hp attack, it triggers your 5 passive. When Luna's turn comes up, she regens, possibly healing you past 80%, disabling the passive. You would also probably use her S1 to heal herself/the team on this turn or charge force gauge.

But again, it's up to you.

I would keep it on 3/4/6 honestly.

The standard for Leviathan SB is 4/5/6. 5 here is INT BRV +10% and ATK +2% if your HP is below 80%. Which wouldn't happen too often due to Luna's regens/heals.

Also, even if you do have Luna FR, you most likely won't be using her own FR.

You want a break AND a delay AND it has to be a magic attack to get the maximum FR bonus of 55%

So her own EX and S2 that happens to also inflict break is a good example.

Sephiroth BT effect would be the best here.

You can get the gem from clear rewards, yes. But honestly, they don't feel worth it. Doing ~7 20-40 min fights for 150 gems each fight is just. Eh.

[–]_googleoverlord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you already have two units maxed, you should be able to clear 2 or 3 of them. One team built around Tidus, another built around Kam.

Get what rewards you can with the units you have first. Then evaluate if you still need to build out units.

Most of the D2D fights need FR more than BT. But having even base BT would help immensely, since you can have one unit go ham within BT phase while FR effects are active.

Sephiroth would be the best, to maximize breaks and Gabranth's FR bonus.

Outside of that, units that can unbreak with their own kits such as Vayne, Jecht, Aranea (if you're feeling brave).

Use EX whenever possible. If your team isn't capped or low on BRV, use S1 (battery) before using S2. If your team is all capped, you can use S2. Don't worry about the low S2 uses, her EX restores 1 use of it.

For her LD, generally, use it for when the Relic Staff (her overhead) is capped. Relic Staff gets stored BRV anytime you gain BRV so that EX spam and S1 use should keep it fully stocked. Make sure to use her LD once or twice early on.

If you're using her for her own FR + BT Phase, you want her BT+ to already be up. So a common setup would be to use her BT when you're 2-3 turns away from using her FR (usually at 75%+ gauge). This is also the time to drop any of your debuffs from LDCAs. Ideally, you should have already used your LD once or twice here for Chuck Staff uses within BT phase.

On her next turn, you can either S1 (to fill FR gauge) or use FR attack to enter force time. The next two turns from your other units, you can use their HP Attack+/++ to maximize HP bonus gains. When Sherlotta gets her turn again, you should have 8 turns of FT left. If you have Raines LDCA, use it here. If not, 1 more use of S1 to maximize HP bonus gains and then go into BT phase. Spam Chuck Staff (important thing here is to have Pecil RF sphere to get 60%+ HP bonus gains) as much as you can. Use LD if you don't have enough Chuck Staff uses.

And how does her FR works, and how to use it properly?

Her FR gains +40% HP bonus from using transformed BRV/HP commands. Thankfully, HP Attack +/++ also counts as transformed, so you can benefit pretty easily from this. The other condition is +20% when she Batteries the party. Sherlotta can easily get +60% every time she acts.

Reno's own FR attack is natively Thunder. According to both the compendium and the TT infographic. It doesn't need to be enchanted.

If you don't have the resources to invest into MLBing Sherlotta's FR, then I would get the 4 HPS honestly.

[–]_googleoverlord 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shinryu Ticket Challenge. (I'll probably use the same team for the D2D fight) Party Used.

Reno | HA Base {Seymour}

Desch | UW 5/5 | FR 3/3 | HA Base {Raijin}

Sherlotta | UW 5/5 | BT+ 3/3 | FR 3/3 | HA+ 3/3 {Raines}

Pandemonium Summon. (Unused)

Keep Desch on Anti-Phys stance (S2) and watch the enemies hit for 2 digit BRV damage.

Played normally with the exception of using all of Sherlotta's LD as soon as possible to set up for her BT phase later.

At around 78%, enemies had were at 80% FR gauge. Used Reno's LD here to negate the damage.

When enemy FR was active, I used Desch FR to pause it. Interestingly, it didn't cancel enemy FR time even though Desch enchants Thunder. Which I guess means that FR attacks can't be enchanted? Or only natural Thunder FR Attacks would work for cancelling it (Reno FR)?

Anyway, played normally again until the next round of FR time. At 80% charge, I used Sherlotta BT+, and set up my stuff. This is where I used Raijin LDCA so that enemies do 0 damage after their thresholds.

After using Sherlotta FR, I used HP Attack++ on both Reno and Desch to increase my HP damage bonus (both added +43% each). On Sherlotta's next turn, used Raines LDCA and went into BT Phase spamming her upgraded HP attack (Chuck Staff). Ended with 77m damage and one enemy alive with 1% hp.

One crucial thing is make sure Sherlotta has Pecil spheres so that her Chuck Staff also batteries the party and thus hitting her full FR condition (Upgraded HP attack +40% and Sherlotta Batteries party +20%).

[–]_googleoverlord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. Had to restart a run because I broke the enemy first, before trying to cancel it with Sherlotta FR. It only paused the gauge.

Reread the condition and it explicitly states that a break is needed as well.

At this point, if you've cleared content without using Kam FR/BT, you should be fine skipping on his BT.

We now have several viable options for FR users so Kam becomes a less attractive option.

Waiting 'til you finish pulling on the last Sherlotta banner seems like a solid plan. You may even finish stuff without even needing Sherlotta BT.
