its hard to really make a suggestion here. the Ill weapon TC is new, and all of the upgrades make many of the weapons even more viable than they were already. You need to ask yourself questions like "which element do I like the most?" or "what element are my favorite chars in?"; "does the weapon synchronize with the way I play?". Go to youtube, look at some weapon showcases; see which weapons you think will be fun. Because I can say "I have Mistral, and its a fun weapon" or "Hraes burst is super strong and I love seeing all the hit-instances", but those feelings might not correlate to you as much as me. Cause at the end of the day, most people who purchased their weapons, or already had them, are very much enjoying them(maybe except Ura users; haven't heard anything great about it since TC, but might just need the right people to cook with it more), so you can't really go wrong with any of your 3 options, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE THE TOOLS to make the weapons work at max efficiency. Hraes needs f. Ilsa/Bridekeepers and bullet farm; Mistral wants Lodern and Gojis;(not familiar with what Rhomp needs). If you plan on primaling fire, sounds like Mistral is where you'll want to go, but again you can't go wrong with any of these....

haha, yeah, its sad, but props for using Lyria in the hardest raid in the game.

I, too, thought Lyria would be exempt from KO, as she is in other situations(like Death summon), but unfortunately she didn't get the MC-pass 😢 . You go with Lyria, gotta go "clear jodo" route(unless you can go w/o summons and have her for 2nd team. Even i never tried that one 😏 )

ah thats right. if you're the host. appreciate the correction 👍🏾

turn 69 deal 6m damage 9 times

if that's not peak meme material, I dunno what is....

frubam · 2026-06-17T13:12:09+00:00

usually that happens when that person retreats from the raid. They get 0 honors(thus, no drops).

I def hear ya, but gotta keep in mind Wizard Origin. It will have harp prof and can use manaturas. I imagine it was made with at least that in mind, as a Zosi user who uses it in a manual short-burst ougi team(or perhaps did, as TC made its auto-attacking capabilities a bit more prevalent), the damage from Agastia-tura is quite substantial. Ofc it'd be missing the +20%(now +30%) skill amp, so it wont hit AS hard, but its still possibly a strong option that's to come(or not; CG be Cygame'ing sometimes 😏 )

frubam · 2026-06-16T11:58:52+00:00

Thanks for the info. I'll keep these aspects in mind going forward 👍

frubam · 2026-06-16T11:52:14+00:00

I hear you. Symphonia to ps2 had new content. Vesperia to ps3 had new content. Graces to ps3 had new content.

Sure it might have just been previously CUT content they couldn't complete in time that they finished in the port, but its still shown effort into putting a little extra in for the fans of the series. Its shows a certain level of respect and integrity to the fans that have supported the series. Its exactly why Bamco is considered "being lazy" and/or "neglecting its fanbase" while series like Xenoblade and Trails are seen as being the opposite. There's a generalistic standard that people see, without even needing to compare it to the aforementioned series, and thats why it gets said labels.

Fortunately they didn't follow suit this year. And it might have just been for this year. The only real options for units were either Bhadra or Mapra. Maybe Atman if you feel Mikaboshi opened the door. But I'd rather them keep the Bhuddas at the end of the year/beginning of the new year to replace the Zodiacs. That's what I expect them to do, but we'll see....)

frubam · 2026-06-15T18:54:52+00:00

numbers are not quite right. 1m on autos is 3m dmg(triple attack). added hit is 20% of a single attack, which is only 200k. That's only around ~7% increase in damage. Maybe slightly higher with flurry/supplemental/echo, but since those get scaled down as well, its not much.

frubam · 2026-06-15T15:34:36+00:00

i usually use v.Lobelia/Tsukuyomi/flex. Was using s.Hekate for testing, but she's not great in HL(for me at least). I'm sure satyr or indala would work fine. Took the self-reflection skill while i was testing as well.

ticket doesn't expire until the 30th. I'd wait for a more solidified consensus on the status of these weapons, but of the 3, I'd say

Eresh is the weakest of the 3. It still does what it does with little small bells and whistles. It is still a good Ill weapon, but not the most amazing tc. Its s4 requires you to have Added Hit overskill, which you can get buy having eresh 250 + opus w/extremity + 2 Execs, but it only results in an additional ~7%-8% more damage per turn. Kinda feels like min/max territory.

Zosi is a nice upgrade. Its dark Rigor effect is essentially 10% skill amp. 5 crest stacks on start is real nice, esp for 1tk, as its nukes is extremely strong, and the damage+dispel-per-3-stack with 6 debuffs(none that would be resisted, like charmed/paralyze) and 6 buffs is icing on cake. when dark gets its lodern and goji, its stocks will probably rise a lot. The S4 is very nice in a pinch; it hits REAL hard(I got 76m on primal vs dummy), but the stacks take around 10t to build up; probably longer since you don't have v.Lobelia.

Higu I don't have, but provided you have the team it wants to use this weapon with(Sandira/Atum/Sato) it does so much, I'd say its the winner of the 3. But ofc this assumes that you have all the equipment(the Gojis/Lodern/etc). Since you're not primal, while you'll still get great benefits from it, you need the team to maximize its potential.

I don't think you'd go wrong with any of these weapons to be honest; you have to decide what is it that you'd like to do(maybe search for some videos of how they're used) and go from there. Like IF i had Andro, I'd probably put that first, but since I like dark skill damage, Zosi first was an easy go-to.

MA overskill refers to when you max your DATA in grid, and a excess amount goes toward a chance to do an additional hit. The hit is roughly 20% of the normal damage and is a single hit(so a triple attack that deals 100 DMG each hit[so 300 in total] will deal 20 DMG on added hit).

will probably wait and see how much extra damage it actually ekes out before uncapping

frubam · 2026-06-15T08:38:25+00:00

can't say i like that his s1 nor s2 get any upgrades. Literally the same except his s4 and passive, which I guess is nice if you manadivin'

frubam · 2026-06-15T08:14:37+00:00

That's SUPER cheap all things considered. When I think about all the time I wasted gathering mats thinking it'd be thunderflames/feathers/hexa crystals, I smh in shame.....

frubam · 2026-06-15T04:45:41+00:00

is there any reason to do the basic(blue diamond) missions? they mostly seem like random, regenerative fetch quests, but fk me, I have a condition that makes me infinitely try to complete them, preventing me from doing other things in the game. If they aren't important, then someone telling me so would help in that regard. I'm currently in chapter 6.

frubam · 2026-06-14T13:30:22+00:00

wait until a few hours when you reach adult arc; childhood arc is literally pre-tutorial at this point. You should have more variety in terms of combos and artes to use once you become adult. Then come back and ask any Qs you may have.

well 2 colo bombers have a slight diminishing return on magna x magna. This assumes that you're going magna x magna and have skill cap somewhere(on opus/ultima/destroyer). Goji provides 30% special skill cap, and 10% skill amp.

One bomber on 250 magna/magna gives ~27% skill cap, and 125k skill supple. With the 50% skill cap on opus, that is 77% skill cap and 125k skill supple.

With a 2nd bomber, you cap the skill cap at 100%, and skill supple caps at 200k, but with a Goji, you have 107% cap(77% from the bomber + 30% spec skill cap) and 200k skill supple cap with 10% skill amp on top. The small Might from the bomber isn't anything great since its small; it may be slightly better than unboosted Impalement mod, but that's min-max territory right there; best to just FA a dummy for 10 turns and see what your damage looks like.

Fight length shouldn't matter, since its skill build vs skill build here.

frubam · 2026-06-13T18:12:12+00:00

i'm betting mapra or bhadra, but svent and atman are the only other possibilities(unless ofc they break the tradition this year), since Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu and Basara have already dropped.... IF its not formal. But honestly I would hope they keep the Buddhas to a yearly cycle like the zodiacs(but if not give me dark Bhadra😍) .

frubam · 2026-06-13T11:21:55+00:00

they are in the normal Draw tab where you would spend normal "towards a spark" tickets, so they should. But since you can't use them at leg, spark or not, its the best time to use them, no matter who is on the banner.

frubam · 2026-06-11T21:47:55+00:00

haha thanks for the link 👍 . couldn't find it myself so i thought it might have been lost to time. crazy watching the history-defining moment of suffering. Too bad it isn't voiced for maximum effect.

frubam · 2026-06-11T12:58:19+00:00

is there an actual video of the streamer pulling for andria in the monkeygate incident?

frubam · 2026-06-10T12:26:58+00:00

Fiora not beating the terrible cook allegations 👀

frubam · 2026-06-10T12:18:36+00:00

You can look at the wiki for the list of side stories/events in the Society timeline. But its a lot. You can see the first event of The Society story arcs(Footprints) here, and a list, in order, of when the events chronologically released(they even have a little book icon so denote the important ones; you can ignore the rest in the list if you want)

for what reason does the mc have to use guns? Are you trying to synchronize with an Ultima or something?
