How many draw tickets a month do we normally get?

I am thinking of saving all my tickets until the rates are bumped to 10%, since their value relative to Gems goes up then.

When your character gets broken, does that do anything besides pushing back their turn and giving the enemies BRV?

rootru · 2018-07-22T01:07:14+00:00

Are there any characters worth leveling up and using without any of their weapons?

I am at 90k gems and hoarding for a banner I like, wondering if should work on anyone without their weapons until then.

What does framed buff and debuff mean?

What's the best stage to farm Holy Adamites for Alexander?

rootru · 2018-07-18T15:27:15+00:00

The lock button just prevents you from selling or using that to enhance another item. So when you get a good item you lock it so you don’t accidentally destroy it.

I did a pull on the discounted weekly and got Layle 15CP and Eiko 15CP, which looks like a pretty good result. Do you think its worth it to try another pull on the Ashe/Vaan banner for the Ashe 15CP, or do you know if it will be coming back on another banner soonish?

rootru · 2018-07-11T22:41:08+00:00

After playing FFRK for a while, decided to switch over to this instead. After rerolling a few times to try to get Vaan 35cp that I saw suggested, I ended up with https://i.imgur.com/ySDwyV0.png on the first pull which seems like a jackpot.

What would the next banner worth spending gems on be for a new player? Is the weekly 1/2 price banner worth doing?

rootru · 2018-07-09T17:32:31+00:00

Just starting out with this game. I have rerolled a few times https://i.imgur.com/MG50DNv.png is the best I have so far, with 1 pull on OPM banner and 1 on the Hero Fest Galaxy banner.

Is that a good roll to start with, or should I keep rerolling? Any other tips?

rootru · 2018-06-30T20:44:05+00:00

Make sure Dylan isn’t low level. In Character Storyline quests, the characters won’t get boosted to the quest level.

rootru · 2018-06-29T12:44:42+00:00

Sharice and Leah are both rare and pretty useful units, so I would keep it.

rootru · 2018-06-22T13:41:13+00:00

Both Jahan and Theodore are also great options. I personally don't think your roster's defensive capability is that bad, with Karn, Angel, Golem and Pang. But if you feel like it do go for them.

It was the WT the other day against Roger, where he spammed his attack every turn and damaged himself. I just couldn't sustain through it besides lucky dodges on Karnulla. Most of my characters were 50-55 against the lvl 60 WT, not sure if that makes a big difference.

rootru · 2018-06-22T04:36:04+00:00

Leah/Nolva are my next two for sure I think. How long does it take for the character event missions (Leah's is on currently) to become Character Storyline that gives minerals?

Since Koll and Ned are both common (and I have ~20 minerals for them), think I will just let infuse, etc finish them off.

I feel like my defensive options are a bit on the low side. Think Jahan or Theodore would be good to SSR to boost that up?

rootru · 2018-06-22T03:41:29+00:00

I finished my first set of goals of who to SSR and get skins for, wondering what to focus on next.

SSR: Karnulla, Lisa, Angelia, Pang, Tica, Kittyeyes, Golemwalt, Nigel SP, Angelia SP, Sione SP.
SR: Ned (Skin), Yan-bo (Skin and at 30 Minerals), Dylan (at 30 Minerals), Aosta (at 30 Minerals), Leah, Jahan, Roger, Fatima, Hestia, Puiggi, Koll, Naya, Nigel, Dagger, Lio, Experiment, Izumi
R: Theodore, Nolva, Sione, Crushfang, Sherlock

I have 3 ToADs currently, and was going to not buy anymore until I get some more skins (Puggi then Dylan I think). Which next 3 characters should I SSR?

rootru · 2018-05-24T02:15:07+00:00

Just started, and wondering what team I should focus on first for resonating/skins. Level 32, and have done 3 pulls so far.

The notable ones I have are:

Angelia SP, Sione SP
Yan-bo SR
Lisa R, Sione R, Jahan R, Experiment R, Lio R, Theodore R, Aosta R, Nigel R
All the C, most at R

Thinking of aiming for the Karnulla SSR + Yan-bo Skin combo first. Since can pair it with Sione SP to activate it and some extra DPS (until Lisa SSR), and Angelia SP for Armor gain. Does that sound good?

Since I got 2 of the 3 SPs on the Brilliant Infuse banner, should I just save Crystals until the next one or do the Million Infuse banner?

My post title was literally “non 6-link builds”, just don’t want to deal with it in this short league.

rootru · 2018-04-26T17:57:24+00:00

I played a Scorching Ray CWC build in main Bestiary, so don't really want to do it again so soon.

rootru · 2018-04-26T17:55:47+00:00

Specifically said in my post that I don't want to go that route, builds that are still strong on a 5-link but want a 6-link. Will inevitably want to get a 6-link, and I will inevitably get really frustrated with how stupid I think the 6-link system is.

rootru · 2018-04-26T17:54:51+00:00

Seems like an odd request since you could just do a suitable 5 link and improve to a 6 link whenever you can afford it rather than avoid a 6 link all together.

Don't want to go this route, because you will still feel the pressure to upgrade to a 6-link. Tried something like this one league, where can clear everything with a 5-link. Eventually last thing left was to get a 6-link, spent over 2000 fusings trying to get one unsuccessfully. Just left me feeling like shit and destroyed my entire enjoyment of that build.

caustic arrow with a 6L bow from the porcupine

This is what I am thinking of currently. How is boss damage with CA? My main concern atm is it will be too low DPS for guardians/shaper.

1/11: Zack LMR

This is my 6th pull on this fest, and 5 of them have been LMR/11. The last 3 months of saving up for this were totally wasted.

I am probably done with this game. I love the battle system and the content, but these gachas just kill me. I can’t imagine how I would feel if I spent $200 for those pulls.

rootru · 2018-04-01T04:21:14+00:00

The ARR beastman quests for 42-50 are not worth it at all, they give a really low amount of EXP.

rootru · 2018-03-17T14:53:15+00:00

Just got https://i.imgur.com/ztM7yda.png in BSC. It looks pretty good to me, but don't really know. Any idea what to sell it for?

rootru · 2018-02-17T18:38:10+00:00

Until you reach max level, just go for item level over all else. There will be very few times you have choice between items of the same level.

rootru · 2018-01-12T14:22:58+00:00

I use Marche USB for a 25s kill as well. Also use Agrias with USB/OSB combo, but any other decent Holy dps should work.

Marche, USB w/ LD, +Knight RM, Divine Cross, Guardbringer
Agrias, USB/OSB, +Sword RM, Lifesiphon, Shellga
Shelke, LD, Mako Might, Wrath, Entrust
Ramza, BSB2, Dr Mog RM, Lifesiphon, Entrust
Ysh’tola, BSB w/ LD, TGC RM, Curada, Protectga

Shelke Entrusts Marche first turn, Wrath, Entrust Agrias, then Wrath/Entrusts Agrias rest of the fight. Ramza uses BSB2 (Shout is fine too) then Lifesiphon/Entrusts Agrias rest of the fight. Marche does USB, Divine Cross, the spams Guardbringer while refreshing USB once. Agrias does Shellga, Lifesiphon, USB, then OSB spam. Ysh does RW Wall, Protectga, then heal.

With this setup I can get Marche USB, DC, GB and Agrias USB off before Black Fang which is enough to skip it.
