Free pull must go until July 31, it would be so arbitrary to end it five days before a full month for no reason. On JP it always said it would go until the actual end of the month.

I dunno, it definitely said it should have expired when I clicked it. And now it's gone completely from my game.
 
Huh free pull still there eh? Shine for me. So 4 golds (Bran, Leon, Ilias, Shine) and 1 rainbow (Aileen) so far, not bad. That daily ticket bundle is a great value.

Up to 70 normal tickets I haven't had more than like 15 at once since around when the game started haha. Still have 5 4* tickets also. Since I will rely only on Lapis until the rate change I am probably going to load up on ex tickets also. Can't wait to see what that number ends up being.

It's funny, the first week I wasn't able to get to 160. Now the target is 120 and I get to 160 every week.

I never realized that 160 was tough to hit, I've had over 200 every week, odd. Pretty nice bundle, definitely worth the lapis trade off, and we get it for a week D: !

So they buffed Merc Ramza but not Merc Delita. I don't even see the point of boosting Ramza's MAG outside of Ultima. It would have been nice if they added some of the JP enchancements - like a debuff on second turn of Justice Sword. I'd still be happy to get either unit off banner (especially their TMs), but its hard to justify pulling for them.

Orran's dualcast is a solid addition. Given he has elemental resist covering all elements + MAG/SPR boost, MP battery, and now can cast Shellga+Protega in a single turn (or attack with Meteor); He's really a solid unit. If he had Curaja he would be even better.

Meliadoul basically getting Rem's 80% reraise is pretty nice; would come in handy for folks doing Robot Trail that don't have dedicated reraiser.

Yeah Meliadoul is a tanky unit and would benefit from having the Nier TM

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

In this game, and in other RPGs too.

A team of specialists working together >>>> A team of generalists.

Just more throughput all the way around.


A dedicated tank. Dedicated healer. Etc.


This Ramza is king of generalists. He's good at a lot but not great at anything. I can see him being in that weird "off-tank", "off-support" fifth slot that most teams have after tank, dps, healer, support. But that's about it.

His enhancements turn him into a very interesting Off Tank for sure

Could be the ideal choice to pair up with WoL while also being able to do damage

We have also been throwing around the idea of a full team of resilient and versatile units

Since resilience and defense has been getting more attention than Glass cannon units that need to be consistently raised

In the first week I failed almost all of my 90% expeditions which is why I didn't do so well. I know a few people were saying the same in the first week so maybe there was a bug on the coding side. I don't get much more than 170 a week though. I'm too lazy to be optimal with this lol.

As long as we don't quit, we'll all hit that magic number of 3600 eventually~ I'm sure it's a placebo, but I swear I seem to fail 90% expeditions more often than any other % /shrug

Noticed something funny.
Because of bad equips selection, max Fohlen is weaker than my level 71 6* Agrias (704 vs 708).
And I just got Dark Knight Soul otherwise Fohlen would be even lower.

What. In. The. Actual. Fuck.

Yesterday bitching and complaining I've only ever had one Rainbow Daily ever. And how these free pulls have been such hot damn garbage. Of course I was also thinking it ended yesterday...

So... pull free daily... and.... Rainbow.

So, sat there stunned a moment. Showed my husband, since we were JUST talking about how these things have been hot garbage, and he was shocked. I was like thisi s my free daily.


Donkey Kong Country

Not even mad. Don't have him on my main. Another TM to add to list. And now that I'e finished Luneth's Enhancements, I may now have another mission: work on this DKC's enhancements along side my alts. (Though my alt is done with all but both Soul Cannon.)

Edit: Because I am dumb and put wrong DKC skill still working on

Last free daily on alt: Edge.

Free pulls didn't let me down on alt. :p


[JP] Free daily is... Kefka. Paid 1/2 daily..Cyan. JP.. keeping the GL pull dreams alive, even when not on GL.
 
Omg Miku!!!!

DKC is a damned beast with enhancements. Actually, who do you have these days - you've got the enhancement all-stars, don't you?

But congrats! No one deserves it more. (Now everyone else keep bitching for the 10+1!)

Thank you!!

I'm starting to dig DKC on my alt. His healing is nice. Makes him usable for once. LOL!

These days 5* wise it depends on account. Main account has WKN, Luneth (enhanced SM and CT capped), Orlandu, Gilgamesh, Yun, and now DKC. Luneth, Orlandu, Gilgamesh, and Yun are in my normal run around group.

Alt account has: Fohlen, DKC (only missing Dark Cannon enhancements now), Delita, Trance Terra, and Ace (all three enhanced to cap).

To be honest, I'm loving both accounts now. They've both diverged greatly from each other. (My alt's Queen is Trance Terra. She carries that account now.)

And with having DKC on alt (was my guaranteed 5* for anniversary LOL) and seeing transformation from his non enhancements to getting them, this makes me not even mad I got him on main. :)

I have no intention of pulling on this banner, but I'll definitely pray to the RNG gods for you. Good luck, man.

Congrats! you were due for some rainbow action.

My daily was a gold - Luka =/.

In other news, I got a lot of TM farming done the past few days, almost done with my 1st champ belt and another HP+30% (this one is just an Amarant, but he was close to being finished with all the dupes of him that I pulled). Almost ready to give robot a try.

I'm not touching this banner at all. I'm drowning in Gaffs here. There's not a single 5* I want until... CG Sakura? Ayaka?

I definitely want CG Sakura when she comes out. Lovin' mine on JP.

2 tickets and some other crap for 300 lapis? Oh hell yeah. Between this and the shitty mog king I'll have 150 tickets in no time. Last(?) free daily was Cecil. At least he's a banner unit. Excal #3 can start at 30% if I ever decide I want it (I won't).

sigh...
i could use a few more gaffgarion, but seriously... apart from that i'm fine..
i have more than enough agrias..
I would like 2-3 more gaff to keep bracers always on a few of "off-duty" units..
ovelia i have aplenty..
merc ramza and knight delita are luckluster...

so i think i'll pass too :/
 
Traaaaade meeeeeeeeeeee
you don't have him celegus? :X
on a side note..

1) 4 days straight exdeath...
like.. why?

2) i failed the trust moogle from the LAST story mission (esper kill)
worth repeating the whole 90 energy thing?
consider i do tmr farm almost 100% unless there's an event i need

if you figure that 90 energy is at best 1% on 5 units (and thats being hopeful), you earned an extra 5% free~ >.>; don't forget you might get a t4 as well

It's a pass for me as well. Not even doing dailies.

But thank you for giving us the chance to try out Merc Ramza and Knight Delita when you share them as your fr unit :)

I've made some ill-advised pulls before, but the thing is that even if the rates weren't literally the worst of any banner to date (and they are), none of these units are worth putting in your party. If I put in the Konami Code and got access to the Gumi Employee Banner where it gives you all seven units on this funeral procession of a banner for 100 lapis, I wouldn't use a single one of them anywhere but Earth Shrine - Entrance.

Even if you're a healthy dolphin, there are simply way too many high value banners over the next month to waste 250 lapis on this garbage, much less any more. It's a whale-only banner.
 
I have two Agrias and two Gafs to put on my team, fifth will be whoever can solo clear the event. So I'm not pulling at all on this new banner. Got my bonus units, don't need the new 5*s at all, I'm good.

Bring. On. Nier.

Nice! Who are you going to give Champ Belt to?

Just getting it ready for Aigiaon's stuffs for whoever gets it. I was pretty impressed that Aigiaon Arm + Martial Arts Mastery + 2Champs + Equip fist + dual wield ends up being higher than most other dedicated builds on its own. It's a lot of TM setup, but I feel like it's worth it because it makes any unit good no matter what they can equip out of the bag. I don't think there's another "all purpose" setup that touches it at the moment.

Anyone know if the next 10+1 is time limited? I can't imagine they'd let us keep it indefinitely.

The 10+1 ticket banner has no end date (compare it to EXVIUS / Arena / FP) so it's supposedly a permanent addition.

EDIT : see for yourself

nemswOjl.jpg


No end date right under the banner unlike the free daily (which was supposed to end today but oh well)
