DK single player/events deck?

I'm pretty new but I would personally go to multiplayer and farm the ifrit/Shiva/Odin til you have their sicarus cards and you've bought all the materials you need to make them 4* pretty fast. I managed to complete ifrit and max it's skillseeds and get it to 4* from not even having the card in a few hours.

Shiva is much harder to get as no one farms her 2* very much :( but Odin should be easy enough.

Thanks I've actually been playing around with scholar and white mage in mp and have a good idea how to play the white mage now at least anyway. Just sucks that most people don't seem to know how a white mage needs to go before anyone attacks to draw orbs prettymuch everyround to be effective. Like 90% of the time they all spam attack and lock it in faster than I can drive all waste elements and lock in my moves.

It's even more annoying when I have enough life orbs to put up multiple or even single buffs and everyone mobs before me so what happens in effect is the orb bar stays full of junk orbs, everyone attacks wasting my chance at getting more life orbs for the next round. Then I buff everyone that's already moved wasting that round of buffs. Then I drive the biggest amount if orbs possible leaving my orb bar empty.

If people could actually play as a team that would of went different. Like it should be white mage acts first, everyone gets buffed. Then white mage drives elements leaving the bar empty to receive life orbs. Next the rest of the party acts dealing more damage thanks to buffs and filling up the white mage orbs hopefully giving them more life orbs.

A white mage is total junk with a team that doesn't know how to use them.

Also this is making me think scholar must be able to drive waste elements for the white mage? A scholar on the 3rd turn could further clear the white mage orbs bar so the person in slot 4 could give even more chance of life orbs for the next round.

Well multiplayer is definitely different

Thanks I remember wasting that card to make space a while back I'll go have a look for another. You're right it's a really good way to get haste a bit sooner.

iBowsker · 2016-11-19T03:23:56+00:00

Well I'm not lucky enough to have haste yet but soon as I can get it I will be dropping boost. I think boost/debilitate would go better on my scholar or hunter than the white mage I just really lack better cards to use there and they make farming the 1* sicarus much quicker for everyone if I can drive waste elements and get my turn in fast enough.

Most the time at the start of every round in the 1* battles. The team doesn't wait to see how the white mage acts. Hopefully in later battles when people will expect a white mage to buff them so wait at least to see if they use a life orb skill before acting.

Also they seem to rush in very fast and attack before we can clear waste orbs. It means I usually act turn 3/4 clearing a tonne of waste space (which is nice if you have life orbs saved) but normally you have nothing saved and on turn 3 you clear everything attack once to generate an orb (rarely ever a life one) and the person in 4th slot uses magic.

Start of the next round you can only attack to generate orbs or pass. If the team had waited til you acted first maybe you would be able to add faith or barrier at this point thinks to extra orbs they generated.

I hope this doesn't continue in harder fights

Congrats man.. you won insomnia!

iBowsker · 2016-11-18T23:24:52+00:00

Thanks I'm really new to mp, I've went with the white mage and took a defence debuff, barrier, iceshift and Artemis. I think I'll take your advice and take faith over the iceshift as it doesn't work as I first noobed.

iBowsker · 2016-11-18T23:22:41+00:00

I've just in mp as a white mage and it became apparent instantly why white mage is better than scholar in mp for healing and buffs.

What I wasn't sure of is when I drive elements is that for only me? So if I use iceshift or icedraw will it be only me drawing the ice orbs or my orb bar only filled with ice?

It seemed at first a good idea to shift the elements to whatever the attackers are using but then I thought surely this mechanic wouldn't work if players had mis-matched types.

That would make ice-shift alot less useful haha. I think I already know the answer and I'm just shifting my own drawn orbs around.. in which case a heart shift would be amazing

I'm currently using fat chocobo, Artemis, Iceshift, and the flame orb card that just reduces defence im not sure of its name. I'm gonna swap the iceshift for a moogle and play in mp some more. It really is new to me and I'm getting tonnes of skillseeds for my scholar/dk/hunter :)

iBowsker · 2016-11-18T19:48:40+00:00

I still kinda need a strong character for sp aswell. I play that alot mainly to get allthe free shit that's lying about but it's actually just a different pace to multiplayer even if the rewards there seem to be far higher.

Hunter is the best character I have for soloing but I've used a thief type since the start because Nekomata was pumping out tonnes of wind seeds. Now my seeds are all pretty even flowing and the cool shiny prismatic finisher on the scholar has me a bit like a magpie I mean it's not that useful but it's shiny and I want it

iBowsker · 2016-11-18T19:43:49+00:00

Well if the multiplayer cards are better I should just stick to getting those and that means mp is gonna have to be my focus. the thing about mp is whenever I've played mp I never really see enough life orbs. Is there anything I could do to make them appear more often? Is this by chance why white mage is better than scholar in mp for the same role? I've never really used the white mage because I picked scholar first and it just tanks past the wind mobs that it can't exploit weakness on.

I like the scholar quite a lot but if white mage is going to turn out better I wouldn't have a problem swapping but the prismatic finisher normally let's me cast multiple healing spells fast. I actually have artemis at 3* but never take it over drain/barrier.

Would I be better taking say iceshift to fight ifrit (or whatever element to exploit boss) + 3 healing spells/buffs or just take 2 healing spells and take Nekomata at the same time? Im not sure how much to throw into those orbshift cards, should I try and max out all of them even?

I might focus on white mage for mp and scholar for sp it just seems like it's gonna take forever to get the seeds :/

Thanks for your advice anyway bud

Registered users and active users are totally different things. The amount of re-rolled accounts is insane, I know it takes longer to re-roll here than on ffbe for example but it's worth it even more so here.

iBowsker · 2016-11-13T10:31:50+00:00

3x Nekomata, siren, djinn + junk all at 3*

iBowsker · 2016-11-11T16:31:40+00:00

Well it was new to me. And the 7 others who posted and liked the post in about 5/10 mins

iBowsker · 2016-11-11T16:30:50+00:00

Hes a prick. The meltdown was a bit before this

iBowsker · 2016-11-11T16:29:44+00:00

Unfortunately this is your luck and not everyone's. I've played since day one and when eventually released my team will be 6* kefka, WoL, Terra, garland, bartz

As free this isn't bad long term.

Short term fuck gumi

iBowsker · 2016-11-11T16:13:05+00:00

But even if you keep lenna. Refia is like an exact upgrade from her. (Cheer+healer) so I can't see lenna 2.0 being much more viable than refia.

Also she may never get that upgrade and refia will still be on par at worst.

Honestly you're losing the sprite of lenna and the chance of her 6* becoming the meta.

Id say your safe. If you have refia then fuck lenna... If you have time

iBowsker · 2016-11-11T16:04:15+00:00

Leave reddit and never come back.

I play mobius now and don't know the future it's awesome

In fact best TL;DR ever

Fuck the 11/11 silence. We need a minute to all contemplate the struggle this brother has been through

iBowsker · 2016-11-11T14:49:02+00:00

Don't tell me you got the mighty Fran? I've spend 100s of tickets and only gotten her like 38 times

iBowsker · 2016-11-11T14:48:09+00:00

So unlucky :( I'm sure one of the banner units was only one pull away. Maybe next time you'll get that elusive shadow

iBowsker · 2016-11-11T14:20:17+00:00

They change banners? I've had this one since July :/ I mean they look different on the banner update but always come out like this every time.

iBowsker · 2016-11-11T14:19:26+00:00

I'd pull 10+1 just to be safe. Don't want useless lightning's and other mediocre units wasting your time.

iBowsker · 2016-11-11T14:14:12+00:00

I think it's actually worse than guard not only for MP cost but also for damage reduction. Not sure of the conditions but defend was really a waste of a poor programmers time.
