4 banners or so after 7* was introduced.

Lila 7* was 3 months or so ago since they were released in batches. (Final batch.)

Hyoh was 5 months ago.

======

Well, if 30% reduction and almost his whole kit is dual castable makes you go meh on top of 150% stats(7*), then I dunno.

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

Basically she got a magical attack using SPR as damage check, but counts as physical. (It's like Ace's Wild Card. Physical killers work for her. SPR debuff on enemy. )

Since Heaven Shift got a high multiplier, you can gear her with trial gear, and she can do a prepped ability to deal Heaven Shift damage thrice as burst damage, Lila hits hard for fairly low effort so to speak.

So go ahead giving her the Holy Wand from Sheratan and any other wand.

ATK for Lila is something you will have to ignore until 7* where it becomes relevant, BUT, there is a good chance at that point you might have a better chainer at that point.

(And I forgot I had Doublehand just now.... ~_~)

And don't use double ability. You use mp only once with dual wield. Neidan>Flash>Heaven Shift you do though.

Don't discount her cheap re-raise AoE lb and superior Manatopia.

TDH FD 2B would look something like this, along with Lila on Ifrit.

But I do lack E-Aileen, and Orochi's tmr. ~_~

Edit:Haven't touched Lila's atk stat pots yet. >_<

Don't skip out on Lila if you have beaten Sheratan, or got Yuna.

Wait TDH with 2B?

That's better than running Dual Wield sets?

I have 1 Marshall Gloves and Buster style, so I could run it, been doing TDH Aranea and she's at like 1350 atk.

Also is there anything special about Erdrick's sword?

TDH FD 2B and Vault for imbuing+imperil, then Speed, hits notably harder.

The weapon is TMR strong.

My step ups:

https://imgur.com/a/1dDIJ5o

Oh wait Buster Styles stack? That I had no idea about.

Also Vault?

Buster Style doesn't stack.

For now you need Buster Style+ Marshal Glove. So, at minimum 150% TDH to make good use of 2B's.

A150: Vault>Speed>Extreme Speed if you don't start with Pod Charge.

Will ramp up her damage.
You can compare mine with yours using the strongest equipment you got if you want.

Is Shylt good? Like worth getting?

If you don't have an AoE magic tank, sure.

Otherwise he is a good partner for CG Nichol's break side effects. And anti-stop.

He can't use anything but accessories, so Carbon Bangle, Ingot, Gauntlets, the upcoming 30def/spr accessory, etc.

Short hand for LMS is static HP, def percentage for the best effect.

Do you want my TDH FD 2B?

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

I would use gil snapper events as usual since there is nothing pressing until Monday, if that. (Sitting on 30m+ gil myself now.)
---

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

They are pretty much in line with what CG Siegheart got in his base kit. ( Though I do see why they picked them since you could have added even more enhancements to his kits.)

60% is standard more or less with units like CG Lid, Loren and Auron being ahead of the curve.

Will be interesting to see if Awakened Rain will fall in line too.

@BakusaiTenketsu

Right.... Uh, since they apparently ditched DW for Sakurafubuki for this King Mog, you only really want Ring of Toughness for its properties. Maybe Guide Clothes too. Otherwise you can ignore the event without a bad concious.

You have gaurantee with the big step ups like this one, while small step ups you don't.(Pending depend on Goomi, Goomies.)

It's better to save up and use lapis now on specific step ups where you will increase in overall strength of party instead of getting sidegrades or doing dailies and random pulls.

It's more that others catch up with Lila at 7*, and surpass her in some cases.

Edit: And Shiva & Ramuh 3* wants to pick a fight it seems going by Taiwan.
---

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

Uhuh.

He gets a story event banner, along with enhancements for Gabranth, Basch, Vayne and Drace, and the Bravely bunch.

No idea. Video made no mention, so I will treat it like a ex5* until further notice. (Same with if we can do all steps multiple times or not.)
---

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

They pretty much brought it in line with other later 25k step ups since this was the experimental one with potential for great yield, if you were lucky.

Edit:


---

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

Depends on why you want them in the first place.

Sephiroth is buddy with a few chain families, and can offer 60+% imperils((light or dark) , and 100% on LB.

Lila will hit like a truck, but will not get much improvements as 7*. (You can think of her as over-tuned by weaponizing SPR as mag, and can use killers.)
---

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

(Each 5k, so the newer step up bonuses instead of the original.)



Half energy too for story, so take advantage of that, Baku.
---

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

Stat wise I wouldn't hold back on getting a 7* over 2 6*, unless it is something like Lunera. More so when it is a chain capper.

======
We don't know exactly yet for JP what it will entail, but hold onto all units you got 100% TMRs on using a ticket or lapis. You can in the future cash in them for unknown stuff.
---

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

Depends on how much you intend to use her.

The only really notable things about Siren 3* are Camo and her 2x 20% esper stat boosts. (And sleep immunity is innate at 3* awakening.)

Only Leviathan 3* and Anima 2* use blue, but they aren't arriving until around autumn.

Edit:

Here are some ideas for inspiration.

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

It's more a middlefinger to Nyx.

You are more likely to stick stuff like Lightning's STMR and other neutral weapons that are better than knives depending on where the RNGoddess is leading you.

======

Still, I hope anyone enhancing Dragonlord is prepping Zargabaath, or bets on killing the target in one assault given how thirsty he is.
---

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

Aye.

Dragonlord users will be more powerful than JP atleast.

But they could have offered better stuff in raid. (Should be a telltale Reberta is about ready, and CG Lid after this type banner stuff.)
---

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

They said so, but I hold my reservations when it comes to Gumi since I do not want Nier until post-anniversary. (Add to that 2B have no enhancements nor 7* in JP.)
---

"And my cat may have sucked, but he was the finest sucky cat on this god-forsaken rock!" - Borderlands http://www.backloggery.com/trashknight

About 4 banners or so, since we can only guess since Bravely isn't until June. (Unless that was supposed to be Nier Automata again.)

Might have to discount their GL-banner, unless we get our art banner.

FF4 KM, and CG Lid are this month.

Expect filler or new banners since Star Ocean is not part of ours for now.

Might be an original, or old FF12 banner with Gabranth stapled on.

Awakened Rain(Terrific magic tank), CG Nichol, CG Reagan, and probably Sephiroth/Lila next month(Could be late May/early June.), with Squall/Rinoa/Zell for anniversary, or slightly afterwards.

He's that good, huh?

I have a Wilhelm, a Chow (neither 7* ready), five Killing Machines, four Orochis, and two Dragonlords. Should I still be spending regular summon tickets/lapis?

It's the cheapest way to gain great results.

If you have already used the KM tickets, you can use dailies until the final day.

At worst if you will probably get a second shot around when Dragon Quest 11 launches since it's a raid with two banners.

What's the big deal with the liquid metal slime? Just exp fodder, right?

To match LMS you need to walk into STMR territory, and then some on 7* tanks. (You will feel that once we get the stats missions.)

I already posted it surviving Aigaion, and that's before enhancements next week.

OK being OK....

@ 6* 800% AoE 16 Hit Physical Attack & AoE 3 Turn +105% ATK & AoE 3 Turn -74% DEF Debuff.
@ 7* 1100% AoE 16 Hit Physical Attack & AoE 3 Turn +110% ATK & AoE 3 Turn -74% DEF Debuff.

It depends on if you are going to run CG Lid, Loren, or similar units....

The buff will pale in comparison with CG Nicole and enhanced Roy.

OK you obviously with his sword, and Aigaion's fist/ appropriate large sword/katana, along with DKS short term, or Emperor Shera's tmr long term when enhanced.

I'm not sure I am ready to sacrifice the few copies of Sage's Prajna I have for a single copy with a small boost. I only have 3 lol. I have 4 Hydaelyn Guards, so I might do those, but I feel like it's such a loss for the materials used to gain such a small boost.

The boosts are worth it in the end since you stack with other equipment, Espers and buffs.

Or use a Killing Machine 4*/lv 39, or Robbin' 'Ood 3*/lv20..
