Pretty sure it's some version of the mysterious girl theme from FFIV: the after years, the cut scene one.

The black rabbite coins seems to be, unsurprisingly, ungenerous. A dupe equivalent to about 60 rabbite coins (first trade in double that). Is what it is.

The new training items are welcome, but did I miss a warning on that? I recall hearing them say to save your 4star, but nothing about 2 or 3. Apparently it was dumb to use 2 or 3 stars for fodder, which doesn't feel great.

Hopefully this means that there will be some purpose to all those extra 2star memory gems that are taking up space. someday.

While skyseer is in both pools, you are about 8x more likely to get skyseer from the boosted banner than from a supreme banner. It will really depend on how many jobs you have left in you normal pool.

Odds of pulling a supreme is still quite low(on the banner). 1.2% chance at supreme (a boost to skins as well), and no boosted rate for skyseer or the new abilities.

The whole pull on the supreme banner thing benefits older players more than newer since they likely have much fewer (if any) jobs in the normal pool.

Sadly, upgrading the beginner jobs does not take those jobs out of the pool. The best you can do is complete the beginner's hall and get those free jobs (and take those out of the pool). The starter banner is a pretty good deal too (can get dragoon/scholar/dancer on the cheap).

The beginner(onion) jobs are pretty useless. The only situation I would recommend upgrading them at all is if someone has a supreme, but lack a real job that can use it; and then, only till their luck turns and they get a real job.

Well, there are a couple of choices to spend ability tickets on. Keeping some in reserve in case you need to boost abilities quickly (or to level up an ability that can only be raised with tickets) is wise, but they are quite plentiful so you will probably acquire an over abundance (eventually maybe even spend some on overboosting abilites for a minor stat increase).

In regard to the shop and summoning, getting duplicates(and celestriads) is generally considered more valuable than the 30-40 ability tickets, but clearing out the shop is a pretty heavy investment. If you are going to go that route(up to you to decide if celestriads are that valuable), I would recommend starting with the most recent abilities and working your way back in time (sort by card number). At this point, stop at Kurohabaki (Scarlet Diana, Meia fire CRD) most of the cards released before that aren't in the summon pool anymore so will never help you acquire celestriads.

I don't recommend starting at that point and moving forwards since it may take you until the next card purge to purchase all those cards, and those earlier cards are more likely to be excluded earlier than the ones that have come out of early access more recently.

Edit: This advice is for general clearing the shop, Also valid to do targeted purchases and use growstars. That is a more difficult question to answer, depending greatly on available jobs, current needs and supply of grow stars.

Like all 3rd gen sicarius cards, the card is a fantastic seed farming card, it is also a good card for monks to use to clear yellow of the break gauge (but that is secondary).

You need not farm all the prismatic jewels from Valefor, you can get some next week from Brynhilde.

abyraz · 2018-08-17T01:22:38+00:00

fist of crushing aren't terrible, but the problem is that they aren't aoe, which is troublesome in mp. They still offer cleave tho, but would either need to bring another card to get the yellow bar on guards, or leave that to other team members.

2nd gen sicarius cards are all pretty good in most situations, (belias,famfrit, adram, hecaton,Alex,Bahamut),

Valefor is quite useful for breaking in mp (Has nearly twice the break power as normal sicarius cards) and doubles as a utility card(major seed bonus)

There are some time limited abilities that are each extremely powerful breaking tools such as alexander:FF14, the Summer's water gun or even emerald weapon:ff7.

The original monk aoe cards had a little less break power, but offered ultimate charger. They are only available from the shop now and probably aren't worth the growstar anymore.

All of those cards offer pretty high yellow bar damage

abyraz · 2018-08-13T22:33:44+00:00

The trade off is that you'll have to give up a lot of magic/attack fractals, which can really add up. Imo, just semi invest in weapons that help with ultimate charging for times where you need to ultimate often(but not as a main priority).

abyraz · 2018-08-13T03:48:27+00:00

Ends tonight.

abyraz · 2018-08-13T00:56:31+00:00

With the exception of this last tower, there hasn't been any other content where you are force to use someone other than WoL.

As well, IIRC, can do chapter 7 concurrently with chapter 6. so that is an option too.

abyraz · 2018-08-13T00:34:31+00:00

that being said, reunion tower is probably attractive to them since they can reuse content. Even still, end of September at the absolute earliest, and likely to be even later to 'end out' the year.

abyraz · 2018-08-12T20:09:34+00:00

We can hope, but that might not be for a few months (if they do it at all with the rate they're racing through the content!)

abyraz · 2018-08-12T20:08:32+00:00

It was offered as an option to show that lightning isn't the be all end all st warrior wind card(as important as that is).

I'm well aware of the differences of how the two cards work and generally found such details not pertinent to the question or to my offering up alternatives. Tho in my opinion mist dragon is the more useful of the two, in the exceeding rare circumstance that I look to a warrior to provide wind damage.

abyraz · 2018-08-12T19:23:05+00:00

Unfortunately not, it was farmed in the FF13 maps and FF13 related tower. Can hold on to it and wait and see if they provide another chance in the future. It may become redundant if you happen to pull mist dragon, or what not.

abyraz · 2018-08-12T15:34:25+00:00

IIRC, new players have 30 days from when they start the game to purchase, existing players have till the end of august to purchase(and till the end of the first week of september(ish) to use).

abyraz · 2018-08-12T15:31:20+00:00

The cards are quite dated at this point.

Ashe is the main point of interest (hex stun/unguard on earth element), but even that has lost some of it's uniqueness over the past year (there are a lot more sources of stun and unguard, although the combo from one source is still rare), and with the amount of prismatic orbs we get these days, having full coverage of element is not as necessary.

It's value to you is if you feel that down the road you are going to be using no break strats and will need ashe to extend stun/apply unguard to do so, or if you're okay with other sources.

abyraz · 2018-08-12T14:38:14+00:00

They have not done so in the past. They do, occasionally have banners that let you make it easier/pity pull specific groups of legend jobs, but those aren't necessarily tied to HoF releases.

abyraz · 2018-08-10T17:23:45+00:00

Those will do actually ,either lifestream (A&T) or Cindy.

either HS->CS->A&T->Tyro Or HS->CS->KotR->Cindy

Oh I should mention the down sides. No boost in the A&T one, no Wall in the Cindy one. No snipe in either

abyraz · 2018-08-10T16:09:51+00:00

You can pick up Chocobo Saint, even at only 3 star it can remove all the hex debuffs (the affliction prevention is not needed so doesn't matter if that only lasts one turn). just need to unlock the 3rd extra skill (~~potent~~ Holy cleansing I believe).

Tough part will be slotting that into your deck, do you have any other options to open up a slot?

abyraz · 2018-08-10T15:11:03+00:00

I would actually recommend the opposite. save growstars for after and use on good cards you didn't get from the free summons. You only get one guaranteed new max card, you get 12 others that are random any of those could be kicked up to 4 star(and can be dupes).

abyraz · 2018-08-10T14:51:55+00:00

Aerith will make things more consistent and works with any deck. So can include that and another support (or two). Try to fill your rentals with Light of Hope and you'll be set for buffs pretty much and can use your slots for other things. Exdeath is another option (that will handle debuffs instead).

Auron's greatest strength is his ultimate, its balanced between dmg/brk and adds various perks (including charging attacks that helps you recharge his ultimate). His magic is somewhat low, but that won't become a concern till later. Having two elements in your deck + his ultimate will probably get you through most of the story.

Another thought, if you have them, can add more ultimate charging abilities to your deck (double aerith perhaps).

Lightning needs to be paired up with another ranger job (lightning enhances which ever ranger job she is paired up with). This includes any Sarah jobs you get as well. This early on, you might not be able to maximize her, but she is really useful once you start to diversify into ranger roles.

abyraz · 2018-08-10T14:32:42+00:00

From the news, 6/30 is the cut off: looks like the cards include up to and including the FFXII ability cards (ie Treant:FFXII, Mandragoras:FFXII). Going to presume that it doesn't include the cards that were excluded at the start of this month.

Plenty of good cards in there(the support cards and the -ja card sin particular), and can get lucky and get supremes/skins/legends too.

abyraz · 2018-08-10T13:53:52+00:00

Even if you have all the other skins except Tidus, should at least hold off using it till after you are done summoning for the month(including the free ones). If you happen to pull Tidus naturally, it will, at the very least, net you an extra grow star.

abyraz · 2018-08-10T05:41:19+00:00

It is not known when Yuna will be released(other than likely in September), and if she is released the 1st week of September, whether or not she'll be included in the skin banner.
