My result on the same turn with Tidus' buffs, Marie's buff, and Light is With Us.

https://imgur.com/gallery/R9cCR

Only real issue I'm having is Tidus being a bitch to get perfect chain. I may just yet just give in and switch to Orlandeau.

Edit: Bringing a friend Tidus makes cycling through everything so much easier. Both pull off Get Pumped and Blitz Mania first turn, and that's two turns of Quick Hits, one if I decide to pop Blitz Ace instead when it appears. I usually burn both just because their LB is so easy to get up anyway, and the chain is very satisfying to watch.

Even after he removes his debuffs? Anytime WoL has died or near died, it's been on Turn 3, after Shadowlord self dispells and hits full-force. Otherwise? He isn't even tickling me. But that one turn where he hits like a truck...

What's WoL's defense?


7573 HP
511 Def
296 Spr

Keep in mind, I have like no defensive TMRs. Resentment and Mechanical Heart are the only ones, and my armor selection is haphazard as well. Hell, I'm still using a Def +20% for a materia.

Yup, just realized that this go-around. So the Atk break may be useful, but without damage mitigation he can still kill. He shouldn't live past turn 5, so if WoL eats it the turn before, it's probably okay. Only issue I had was he was hit with paralysis, and was unable to tank. Still won, but something to consider.

Well I dunno what to tell you. Breaks were up, WoL still died taking each and every last hit. Only the one time, otherwise he's been surviving, but I still don't know that I see the point. Other than the Atk/Mag break he isn't bringing much to the party, so if I can find another unit that will do that and contribute to damage, I might as well use them.

I probably just don't have his HP high enough. He's only sitting at about 8k or so right now, so it's not like he's super buff.

Yeah, I'm considering testing whether I even need WoL and can slot in someone else with breaks. With Light is With Us, he can actually kill WoL, but if all the damage is spread out it's far more manageable. Tidus chains can bring him down in 3 turns if I get the phys debuff first, 5 turns otherwise. Mercedes is great for applying the water imperil; I know people gushed about Tidus' 100% imperil, but I'm finding it being locked behind a LB not terribly handy except for the longest fights. And Marie is Marie.

At this point, the only member I'm really disappointed with is Water Veritas. Even with the imperil and at least trying to chain (I can't quite get the timing right), she does pathetic damage with DC Waterja. Of course her magic just sucks, as I have no good mage accessories, but after the amazing work Victoria and Ashe have been doing for me lately, this is a severe disappointment. I can't say I'm surprised, but I am a bit annoyed that she's this bad. Especially since the Pharm story really cemented her as probably the most interesting of the Veritas to me.

Aaaaand they're down. Someone on my friend list had a 1000+ Atk Orlandeau, and I figured "So what if I don't have Excalibur? I can take him down anyway!" And I did. Typhon went down before he got a Snort off (which is really good, because I forgot it was WoL that had the wind weapon equipped this time around), and that slimy octopus only put up a little bit more of a fight. Honestly, I think if I use that same Orlandeau after buffing mine up a bit, I can bench Rikku and get the 5-man quest down as well. That was...obscenely easier with Orlandeau than Tidus. Elemental chains and built-in imperils make so much more difference than I realized.

Looks like Agrias is getting a bunch of crysts in the near-ish future. And I definitely need to crank out two Excaliburs.

Alright, so I just typed a whole long message about my first real attempt at the nasty Octopus. Not retyping that, so bullet points

-Holding the tap on Orthros to check to see if he still has a buff takes the target focus off of Typhon
-Taking the target focus off of Typhon after he's prepped for Snort is a bad plan
-Losing Marie to Snort really sucks
-I think I could have beaten the trial without that screw up

So my team was

Rikku
Tidus
WoL
Zargabaath
Marie
Friend Tidus

Two questions are: Is there a better unit than Rikku to help provide support? The Re-Raise is nice, the damage reduction is nice, but constantly losing buffs to Acid Rain sucks. Zarg, with help from Tidus' MP refresh ability, can keep up the party's MP with Rejuvenate just fine. Marie is just fantastic, although the person on the FFBE board that said she makes the trial a joke is hyping her up a little too much I think. O I'm missing something. And WoL is just required I think. But yeah, anything else you all might recommend?

Alright, I think I'm getting a plan together for the raid tomorrow. Since it's randomly magic or phys-based, both damage types should be covered, right? Time to build a full-on Water-based team at long last!

I have Mercedes mostly enhanced, just missing War Cry, so I can apply a 75% water imperil whenever I want. If I bring a partner Tidus, mine can chain and she can play chain capper should he debuff himself physically. WoL is a must for the Atk/Mag break and Light is With Us. Trying to decide between Tilith and Marie as my status shield/elemental resistance buffing, because I'm not sure if Love You All will be able to keep up. That leaves deciding on my mage, and I've enough Cactuars to for sure get one up, and it's between Zyrus and Veritas of the Waters. I'm honestly leaning towards VoW, as the first turn she can't do damage so she'll be able to get her self buff up, and if the fight leans magically, I can DC Waterja three turns in a row with Tidus chaining to let her cap (assuming he can still chain when his defense is spiked up; if he can't, I'm screwed). Otherwise she can act as a backup healer if I choose Marie as my support unit.

Mostly I expect that if he debuffs his defense, I have two Tidus and a Mercedes to break him down in short order. If he debuffs his spirit, three turns of Waterja stacking with two Tidus to chain will at least put a dent in him. That's all I can think of to do for this raid, other than instead bringing Victoria for DC Meteors, but I don't know if that'll work as well.

And I think I'm going to make an attempt at getting Rod Mastery tonight. God help me.

100 Arena Win trophy get! And with fighting the top selection every time too. I'll admit, an arena week without craptons of status cheese is kind of nice.

So Tidus is about done with his LB, and now I need to figure out who to bring up next. I'm thinking either VoE, 9S, or maybe Timothy. Is there another one to consider? Just more of a "If you have this unit, work on them first." Otherwise, which of those three? I have WoL as a tank, and he covers breaks okay, but I know 9S and Timmy are better breakers.

From what the FFBE board is saying, he can't be killed on first turn, and second turn he'll either be weak to physical or mag. Sounds like this is going to be a real pain for a repeating battle if that's true.


That will be...exceedingly annoying. He'd better have low HP to make up for it, otherwise this is really going to suck.

And yeeees, another raid. More moogles, more megacite, and way more rank experience. Looking forward to seeing if I can find a way to one-shot this one. Probably not, but the dream is there. And a chance to make up for the stupidity of fusing my Shatottos as well. Werei is looking tempting for his TMR since I have failed in my quest for a Chizuru, but I'll settle for what the dailies give me and call it good.

Went ahead and got my dupe tickets from the Labor Day Bundles. If they close my account...oh well. I also did a pull today after work thanks to the day being annoying, and was rewarded with another Sozhe. This banner really seems to love giving out golds, except Chizuru. Oh well, I can't argue with what I got out of it, so I'm not terribly upset.

Also, really looking forward to Shantotto's buffs, and a little miffed that, in my stupidity, I decided to fuse my dupes because I'll never farm her TMR up. Didn't realize her 5* gave her amazing chaining abilities. But she was my favorite character to use in Dissidia, even though I've never played her game, and I think she's just an awesome character all around.

So apparently a free pull keeps popping up for people in the wee hours of the morning. Something about the Fan Fiesta celebration pulls popping up before they're supposed to. The pull disappears after like an hour, so few people have been able to actually pull on it. But still, kind of weird.

And I'm enjoying the downtime. I've got everything I want out of Hein and will only be running it for the easy two daily quests. Not sure if I'll wind up selling my remaining Wind Fangs or use them to buy...something. Not gonna have enough for any crysts (which is fine by me), I'm well stocked on consumables. Burst Pots? I know those aren't the most cost-effective things to buy, but I feel like we haven't seen a good supply of those in a while, and I'm one level shy of maxing out Tidus' LB. This won't quite get me there if I can buy all 30, but pretty damn close.

Otherwise it's just TMR farming. I really shouldn't be grinding out my two Camille's at this point, but I am just out of stubbornness. Combined they're at like 60%, so it's not like I'm all that far away compared to starting two new units fresh, especially since I'm paralyzed with indecision on what to start. I need Excalibur for Orlandeau, another DKS after I get the first one, Rikku's Pouch, and pretty much all the mage TMRs. Not having a really powerful mage has sucked the last two weeks.

@Fiyun Managed to down him with a friend Ashe chaining with mine, boosting the damage on Victoria's Meteors. It was significantly easier when I realized I didn't have to play by the 5-man and no item rules. Note to self for the future: doing all the missions in one run is not worth the stress, and I'll likely waste more stamina trying to do everything at once.

But man, I know Victoria's strengths lie in DC Firaja and Overflow stacking, but she is amazingly satisfying to use for DC Meteor. It's animation is just awesome when dual casted.

Yeah, no kidding. I think I was unenthused with her because she seemed to just bring elemental resists to the table pre-enhancement, and both Zarg and Rikku covered that and more. Now that she provides full status immunity and HP regen, she brings
so much more. Hell, I'm using her on my arena team for the status protection since I have no Ribbons or Discernments.

Now I just need to pot her, and life is good.

Considering how limited my 5* selection is anyway, I actually think it was quite fun. In fact, were it not for still being new enough that I don't have enough TMRs built up, I'd actually have really enjoyed beating it solo. Now that I know how the magic stacking works, I'll definitely be building up a Zyrus as well as my other Victoria for Overflow chaining. I would have liked to have been able to beat it with Ashe and Setzer, but I'm not willing to deal with the luck requirements Setzer brings to the table. I'll try and beat it again as soon as I get access to your Zyrus, as well as boost up Ashe's own magic so she can contribute a bit more to the damage. I already nabbed Ifrit's Claw, but I doubt getting my single Bracer up is going to be a high priority for me, so the Gauntlets will probably help more than I think.

And the last couple of tough fights have really made me reconsider Marie as a unit. I was honestly mildly disappointed when I pulled her, thinking that while she would be okayish, that I had far better support options in Rikku and Zarg. Now I know better, and will definitely keep her in mind for future content. That HP regen alone makes bringing a healer almost optional.

If I swap out someone for Tilith, that should definitely be doable. I'll nab your Zyrus when I can. Blood Pulsar until the cap is reached, then DC Comet right?

Edit: So for whatever reason, I decided to do the daily summon. Turns out I got yet another Abel. Even off-banner, he's deciding to show up. Well, that's four, so that makes getting two knives pretty easy.

I keep getting close on Hein, but having to rely on Setzer's luck is just annoying. I also apparently failed to notice that I was getting debuffed and couldn't figure out why I kept dying. Hopefully tossing Bushido Freedom on WoL will work better for me, but that is really going to suck with constantly removing my buffs from Marie. Unless anyone has any better suggestions, that's all I can think of to keep my survivability intact.

I'm a bit worried about whether I'll be able to pull off this trial. Vic's Meteor isn't going to do much without being helped with chains, Ashe can chain but she's pretty underpowered (and I only have one), and I don't have anyone with enhanced Ultima.

Blue...Abel

Blue...Abel

Well okay, already had one, but this'll make getting a Bowie Knife easier. Probably just work on two and save the third for a second one if I ever get around to it. Still, I'm sticking on-banner, so we'll try again.

Crystal comes up Gold. Sweet! Maybe Chiz will drop and I can really start using my katanas. Tap it, and...

It turns into a rainbow. Nah, it couldn't be could it?

At this point, their biggest use for me (outside of being awesome in general) is actually to make bonus units useful for the current event. I wouldn't be one-shotting Hein without my two Sara's chaining together to up DC Meteor damage. I don't think it's reliable for general use (taking up two slots for a relatively weak chain is pretty meh), but it definitely makes bringing a full bonus team a bit less painful if they're not terribly good units otherwise.

Got my harp, though it took a few tries. Marie was definitely MVP with her status resists, elemental buffs, and the HP regen was the only reason I survived the first few turns while Tilith was stopped. Victoria made the fight way faster with DC Firaja, even with her sub-700 magic, and Tidus played almost pure support.

I'm really amazed at how well Tidus plays support. He pretty much does what Zarg does, only a little less well, which probably explains why I keep forgetting his support options exist. But he was really useful, so yeah. Now I just need to finish up Hein's Castle farming and try and decide how to make some gil. Sitting at 500k is very uncomfortable.

I thought about doing that, but doesn't that give him too much to do? Buffing, MP battery, damage mitigation, on top of additional mitigation and chaining? I mean, he'll always have something to do, but he kind of already does.

So if I wind up not getting a Chizuru from dailies, will it be worth throwing tickets at this banner to try and nab her? I've got way too many TMRs to farm as is, but hers is a very popular one, and this seems as good a chance as any to try and pull her. I still need to be saving (which I've failed at miserably so far, way too many thrown at the Veritas banner just because I wanted to pull), but a handful might not hurt.

It was a complete waste of energy, but I gave the Octopus Trial a quick run last night. I say it was a complete waste because I was too tired to be able to pull off perfect chains with Tidus, and without a shared element my damage was pretty paltry, so I doubt I would've been able to get through the trial. But I may be able to pull it off, assuming I won't run into too many hiccups and can actually chain properly. I'll probably have to skip using Tidus' support skills, as I need as much damage as I can get, but it might just be doable.

Shouldn't be any issues if I use Tidus with the wind-element weapon, correct? I know I need someone with it, and he seems to be as good a choice as any.

Hmmm, I may need to see if I can get a Tidus friend to equip something other than Brotherhood to try. Not sure which element would work best honestly, but I guess as long as it's not water I'm good. So WoL, Tilith, Marie, Tidus, and friend Tidus. And that's only if I want Acid Rain, otherwise I can bring Zarg for additonal benefits.

Am I going to be screwed if I don't have a ribbon? I have yet to pull a Kefka, and Tilith's TMR is only at 20%.

Also, dur, I have two Pods. Chained they let Victoria slaughter Hein in one turn. Still have to keep her MP up with Zarg, but I can now one-turn him. Not one-shot, but better than taking a hit and risking Vic getting confused.

How do you maintain MP? Marie's abilities are kind of costly, and WoL doesn't have the highest MP out there. My Tilith has decent MP regen, but I can't imagine she's be able to keep up either. I'm guessing Orlandeau will be better than Tidus, but I'm also guessing I should at least wait until I nab an Excalibur for him?

I can tell I'm just shy of what I need on Victoria being able to one-shot, though I may not be able to get what I need. I'm considering spending some stamina attempting the Ocotopus Trial for Rod Mastery, but that's likely stamina better used for Hein.

So on that note, since I do need to do the trial anyway, what are the general requirements? I see that two tanks are pretty popular, and as soon as I get his LB up I'll start leveling my VoE to go with WoL. Breaks I know are essential. Tidus brings water resistance, but I know I have to use an element other than water if I want him to do any damage. And I have no idea if Zarg or Marie are at all useful as support units, as I know Rikku isn't as popular for the trial.

Is this a trial I need a good TMR loadout for? Or will I be able to do without?

I have to rely on three of my units, but I only have two bonus units anyway, and I'm not pulling at all anymore. I got lucky with today's daily giving me Desch, and one ticket giving me Sara. But no good Mag TMRs and no Rod Mastery means Victoria is stuck at 700 Mag, and she doesn't have the MP recovery to get through, so I'm stuck using Zarg and 9S for battey and breaks. Even with breaks it's two turns for Hein though, so I'm not exactly breezing through.

Took four tries, but I cleared all the missions for Echidna. People weren't joking about Marie almost breaking the trial. Almost. Not getting the Genji Shield first cost me the initial attempt, and the second was a bit weird, but beaten. The third I used another Esper by accident, and the fourth got me both the esper kill and the 5-man clear together.

Zargabaath is an MP battery all on his own once potted. Slap an MP up accessory on him, and any passive MP regen, and he can keep himself and at least two other characters full without any issue. He'll only have the occasional opportunity to do something else, but that alone makes him incredibly valuable. Second only to Marie for MVP of that fight.

And all of this because the only thing I can think of for Hein is to slap this and other boosts onto either Ashe or Victoria. Leaning towards Victoria for dualcast Meteors. Just wish I had leveled my second one; she's in the queue for the next round of cactuars.

Daily was Bedile, and a ticket got me Gilbert. I am staying far, far away from this banner, bonus units be damned.

Wow, those story-exclusive trials were...insanely easy. I had to do Laswell's twice because I missed the self-buff the boss slapped on himself and missed the No KO's mission, but that 15% ATK accessory was worth the 15 stamina.

Pretty nice loadout of equipment though. Not top-tier, but all well worth the effort, ar least for me. Hopefully I didn't frustrate too many friends by gimping my Tidus for an hour or two. And now I don't have to worry about it ever again.

I'm still very tempted to keep trying to build a Mag-based Zargabaath just for grins. I know it's pointless, but it still amuses me that over the last few weeks we've gotten a few pieces of gear that actually help him out. I have no idea why they designed him that way, other than they were thinking he could use Word of Law as a chain capper, but it's just hilarious to me. Especially imagining him using the new magic microphone to blast magical judge verdicts at the enemies.

Okay, suddenly much happier with my Water Veritas pull. Those enhancements look so tasty for when they finally do come over. Dual Cast Waterja and either her or Tidus landing a 100% Imperil? That just sounds yummy.

But her enhancements are a long ways off, so until then she'll be leveled and become an expedition monkey.

Apparently. Seriously, if it had been a Marie, I would've made a much bigger deal about it. Mostly because it could have been nearly any other rainbow and I'd have been thrilled. All I'd get out of another Marie is a second robe; pretty sure there's not much demand for two of her on a team.

So after another short burst of TMR farming, I decided to use another set of tickets that I've gotten today. First one was Marie. Ah well, bog standard blue, whatever. Next on was

Gold! Open it up and

Veritas of the Water...

Dammit! Cool, but dammit! Wrong one.

Screw it, another ticket.

Gold! Could it be...?

Veritas of the Heavens!

Yeeeees! Decided to use the last one to see if I'd get really lucky, got Lawrence instead. Don't care! I got what I really wanted off of this banner. Time to finally start saving again.

So I finally have my second DW, and now the question is who it's better to put it on. I don't have great TMR selection obviously, so Orlandeau and Aileen would be only partially built at best. Mages don't benefit from DW nearly as much, right? I know Ashe and Victoria don't, and they're the mages I've max leveled so far.

Suddenly wondering if this was the best investment for my moogles. Oh well. Next up is getting the 25% I need for my second Pod 153, and then from there speeding up Dark Knight Soul. After that Tidus doesn't need much to really hit his best (a Bracer, Save the Queen, and Black Cowl are all I'm missing, and those won't give him so much more attack that I need them now), Orlandeau and Aileen are more backup units than anything else, so it's probably on to mage-related gear. Magistral Crests, L&A, things like that.

Even using Switch controls, I feel so far behind. I know it's because I started late, but it kind of sucks knowing I'm going to miss out on doing a lot of content immediately because I'm nowhere near geared.

Oh, and of course there's a Mog King event right when I go on vacation. Thankfully I'm only going to miss four days of it, but bleah. At least it's for an event I know I'm not pulling anything for, so any of the unit exclusive stuff isn't a high priority for me. I don't think I'll even do the dailies.

Daily was Wind Veritas. Also have Water Veritas. Whee


*grabby hands* That precious, precious Spear Mastery. We must haves it....

So of all things, I've been trying to get the crysts to enhance...Mercedes. I know there are far better targets, but I really want more people that can work well with Tidus, and while I know he has an amazing imperil attached to his LB, and that's perfectly fine for longer fights, I need someone that can toss an only marginally weaker imperil on at will. I'll grant you that without her own TMR she's pretty weak, so it's not like she'll come out for anything other than raids, but I still feel like she's a worthy investment.

That and I'm still hesitant to enhance Soleil. I know she's got amazing buffs, and she looks amazing, but still...

Got both Calixte missions on the first go around. Took the slower path, only doing enough damage to hit a threshold once a turn so I could heal up. Never even used a reraise from Mighty Guard G, though I kept it up the whole time just in case. Definitely not using this stage to farm for crysts, though. That'll be the 85 NRG one, unless I want to just dive back into TMR farming.
