Board 8 > Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius Topic 42 - Cloud Nine

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dark Fina and Aileen 7*.
---

12 days of joy gets me a 3 star ticket instead of 4.

Oh well time to throw my 5 star ticket.

Last two attempts gave me dupes, so I expect another low tier dupe.

Orlandeau dupe, 7 star orlandeau doesn't even seem fun!
---

I got a second trance terra
---

3* ticket got me a dupe Ayaka (yay!)

5* was Tidus #5. On my way to a STMR and dupe 7*s!
---

Ah, so that's where all my luck went.
3* gave me an 8, 4* gave me a soleli
Eh, I'm paying for my Ice loli luck, so I'm fine.
---

My 5* ticket was a second Olive.

7* Big Gun Waifu should be alright.

Dark Fina and Aileen 7*.

Decided to burn the ex stash because why the hell not?

60 ex tickets and 11 ex 4* tickets yielded:

Several Rosa, Elle, Kefka, Fang and Cor.

Ace off a 4*.

Ayaka and Light Veritas as straight rainbows from 3*.
---

Got my first Noctis, pretty cool. I might use my 100% moogle on him.
---

Guaranteed 5 was Onion Knight.
Neat.

I would hold off unless that moogle is what gets you to the 100% dodge threshold.
---

Pulled a Cloud. Pretty happy with that.
---

so now that I have two Trance Terras, assuming I enhance both, what trials can I cheese
---

With enough prep you should be able to beat both Blood Moon and Malboro.
---

i honestly should do Malboro already.
i've got TT, Marie, and Ace.

in theory that's an easy one with a TT friend.
---

As long as you can pace it with Devour. I flubbed that with GL Sakura while Rosa, yes FF4, was my healer/mana battery since I was too eager.
---

i mean i've got Rikku with a bunch of LB bonus stuff that can regularly have it every 2 turns max.
so i'm not sure how much pacing i really need beyond status immunity -> brute force.
---

Daily: Terra
3* EX Ticket: Iris
4* EX Ticket: Meliadoul
5* EX Ticket: Lunera

I finally have a good MP Battery! Woot!

I could have set up Ayaka if needed!

5* EX - Dark Fina
4* EX - Shine

I *think* that's two Dark Fina now (If I have another, I've never used it, but I recall seeing one), so that puts my 7* prospects at:
Noctis w/ Super TMR
Queen
Dark Fina
2B?
Kelsus?
---

5* EX ticket got me Kryla.

Well then, got a Limited Seasonal character.
---

Oh my god Fryevia #2 from the 4* guaranteed ticket they just gave out!

It's a Christmas miracle!

Yea, I got trash and a few santa's for my trouble.

5* for me is tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes.
---

used 4* guarantees on banner.
got santa roselia, i'm good.
---

Threw a couple of tickets and got Santa Roselia.

Also used a 10+1 ticket for the heck of it and got a rainbow!

...Kryla again.

My newest 5* and shes already 7* ready.
---

Corrected 12 Days

Chizuru

Ok let's try and get Santa Roselia

Blue into gold obv Amelia
Santa Roselia ok that's nice.
---

Alright lads, that time of the month again.

How does one tackle big Gingerbread man?

Bring unit with AoE stop prevention. Debuff it, and kill the bastard. =_=

He will kill a target with consume so keep that in mind.

Not entirely. After DV broke it, consume was barely scratching Wilhelm. The only time it hurt was after the 50% threshold when Angry Expression was up. After that gets dispelled theres nothing even remotely threatening about this guy.

Add in spark chains from my Frys (one having double demon killer) and this guy got the deep freeze.

shoot I just realized I completely forgot to do the ff7 exploration event

oh well
---

Oh wait, its still there?
---

I'm somewhat tempted to buy this discounted lapis just to fuel more TMR grinding
---

discounted lapis from amazon's digital day?
as it's 25% off there.
---

Yes, that one
---

Damn, I was hoping there was a sale at the in game store.
---

it's pretty good, especially if you can stack it with first time buyer. that basically 35% ($65) for the $100 coin bundle (10,000 coins) -> 25% off this (3725 coins)...

8500 lapis for $24.21~ + whatever EX rewards you need to unlock.
and you can repeatedly do this bundle too.

for comparison's sake, crystal chest of dreams was $75, had 15k lapis + 10 tickets + 2 4* + 30 pots of 10 EN

here you can get a flat 17k lapis for <$50. you could technically spend the extra $12 or so to round it out at 25,550 but you'd then have spent a higher but relatively close amount. otherwise you can just ask whether 10 tickets and 2 4* tickets are worth $25 as that's the main difference.

apart from the other big difference which is that you at least can pick up to what level you want to spend here.
i think the 25k barrier is important for step ups later on? though i don't know that mechanic well, just that it's basically "fine, you get your guaranteed 5 if you keep 10 pulling."
---

By first time buyer do you mean the amazon coin thing? Because I can't do that
---

yes.
or "first time buyer" being "hey i opened an amazon account can this work now."
---

okay, looked at the step up system...

Step 1: Normal 10+1 (3%)
Step 2: 1.5x 10+1 (4.5%)
Step 3: 10 normal (3%) + 1 guaranteed rainbow
Step 4: 2x 10+1 (6%)
Step 5: 3x 10 summons (9%) and 1 guaranteed banner rainbow

15k = guaranteed 5*
25k = guaranteed on banner 5* and a 9% chance to rainbow on the rest.

those are thresholds to look at for upcoming months when it comes to lapis.
---

Keep in mind they can vary just like how Sephiroth's and CG Reagen's banners operated.
---

Its Lilas banner, Sephiroth just happened to be there!

shoot I just realized I completely forgot to do the ff7 exploration event

oh well

Me too, bud

But hey if it's still there let's do it.
---

i didn't do it because I thought I'd get rolled

but my six month out of date team just crushed it, only didn't get the 5-man reward because it is butt anyway
---

I actually took 2 tries to do it

First time I took my party with no guest and all my gear screwed up due to putting a bunch of my gear on my Roaming Warrior Cloud

Swapped over to a guest Cloud, gave Tidus his proper equipment, and dropped X-Death (RIP) and beat it no problem
---

Gingy was an annoyance.
First time, missed the turn mark cause lol esper crystals.
Second, almost missed the turn mark cause stop.is.terrrrrible.

And as for my 5* ticket? Gilgamesh.
Considering that I got really lucky in another gacha game today, it could have been much worse; a second Genji is nothing to sneeze at.
---

At least it wasn't Fohlen like my free 10+1. :D
---

Im having a hard time understanding how people can think Emperor is better than CG Sakura.

Edit: figured it out. Hes comparing 7* Enhanced Emperor to out of the box, unenhanced CG Sakura.
---

CG Sakura 7* require set ups for burst damage for her new improvements, while enhanced Emperor 7* is fire and forget within 5 turns.

2x 2750% with built in imperil(Ours is stronger by comparison) vs 1650% 2x. (CG Sakura can hit max dmg at turn 3 with the last turn hitting 5 times using her lv 110 CD, or adding imperil on turn 2.),

Edit: Looking at the topic at hand...

CG units are always relased alone, while CG Sakura is the sole rainbow on hers. (And apparently Lid and Nichol too going back, but only a gold and rainbow on CG Lid looks odd...)

Like before, CG Sakura brings some utility, and is a much quicker choice than Emperor currently when she drops her anvils.

Edit: Only time you will see more than one is on the guaranteed CGs in rainbows in an event before 7*.
---

We could probably add in Emperor's 200% mag buff he rotates every 11th turn if anyone wants.
---

Also Emperor is fuckin rad and not like, a 2000 year old woman in a 13 year old's body
