Board 8 > Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius Topic 43 - Wiz. Kaliva

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rate ups changed at Gladio, right? I've only gotten Cloud and Basch since then, but Cloud and Basch are also the only two banners I've pulled on since then so I guess that checks out.

...ace's enhancements are surprisingly cheap.
Now, I wonder if Amelia has any fire guns to work with for some bird hunting...?
---

11 more tickets.

Reberta

Done pulling on this banner. Guess with Reberta and Duke I can scrounge up something?

Candy gun from Frosty's proto-raid.
---

uhhh

so since I finished up the story I have a shit ton of lapis (for a f2per like myself) so I decided to test my luck by doing only my second(!) lapis 11 pull



today has been a pretty solid day all things considered
---

p. good

also Legendary difficulty seems not really worth it, considering how many bonus units I need to drop in order to complete it in a reasonable manner.
---

Damn you people and your banner rainbows! At 25k and 35 tickets now, still just Rem #4

I missed that one sadly.
---

I was really new during the Frosty Raid. I remember trying it, failing terribly, and wondering how anyone could do 60,000 damage.
---

Just looked at the MK shopping list.

Are they really trying to sell 5% moogles for specific units for 100k currency

Whale bait. (And crummy one at that.)

Noice.

==

As for me I dropped 25k lapis and 10 tickets for Balthier, 3 Drace, a heap of Larsa and my third Ashe. (Which finally allows me to test them in the arena with Vanille.)

=======

Let's see if I can remember starting from the Gladiolous banner when the new rates started.

Gladiolous banner:
Gladiolous

Cloud banner

Cloud
Elfreeda

FF12 banner 2#

Balthier

Mixed from banners prior to this one;

Nyx
VoL
VoF
Lunera
Fohlen
Rem
2x Aileen
Ayaka
Ace
Dark Fina
Second Noctis

13 rainbows prior to rate ups. (2 5* tickets used before and 2 after rate ups, iirc.)

So 13 vs 16. (Or 11 vs 14 to be precise since beta. 13 vs 14 with Cecil and Shitbert included.)
---

so I'm reading Basch is a better everything than WoL

and an equivalent magic tank than mystea(?)

so basically I can slot him in immediately
---

I think the downside to Basch is that he doesn't have any passive cover ability the way WoL and Mystea do. Probably not a huge deal in the long run, but it's a difference.
---

Better stats, can use any relevant equipment for the jobs. His mitigation is 50-70% for both, but you need to remember he can only protect against one type at a time.

You basically want active AoE covers and controlled single target attacks when possible.(Like Mercenary Ramza/Gladiolus, or Mitigated provoke.) Ice bird is one of the few exceptions.

Otherwise we risk getting Ray Jacked. X_x
---

well people who still have me as a friend can have a maxed basch for farming the event
---

Can you make him hit 100% fire resistant+ pile on as much hp and def as possible? Too many idiot Basch on my list.

Covers all you need for the event.
---

good enough?
---

I tried to un-idiot mine as well. 100% Fire resist, 9k HP, 400 DEF. about the best I can do without wanting to strip my other units
---

Should be no problem at that point for anyone using him, as long they don't take too long to kill while he protects the team. (Physical aoe cover until last fight where you change to magic aoe cover. Apply breaks as needed.)
---

hmm, I can almost do LGD with 4 bonus units but my A2 runs out of MP before the end. Might need to drop one and bring an Ace. Not sure if its worth it at that point.
---

did a bunch of 10 pulls.

got Balthier.
also got Sea Breeze Fina. first time, actually. and i own regular Dark Fina.
also got a Roy.

and i can now have 3 units that i can potentially 7*:
Ace (did before)
Gilgamesh (new)
Tidus (new)
---

...whoa.
tinkerer carrie chains perfectly with A2.

time to raise another 4*.
---

I think my Juraiya pull yesterday was just to keep me from pulling anything good on FF12.
---

I didn't even get Vayne!! i got two draces though....
---

Holy crap RNG...

Used my Daily Pull, one 4*+ Ticket, nine 3*+ Tickets, and 10000 Lapis (two 10+1s), and I didn't pull a single banner unit. Not even Larsa...

Humorously though... I pulled two Ashe and a Vaan >_>. No Rainbows though. Jiraiya was definitely a bad omen for a Thursday Daily Pull.
---

---

so it is real

guess I know what Im saving for
---

Based on the odds calculator, I currently have an 82% chance of getting a banner rainbow. This is the Cloud banner all over again.

Are the VP units any good, or are they unreleased in JP?
---

some people are speculating that one of the 5*s might be a raid unit
---

That would be a lot better, even if it was a garbage 5* raid unit.
---

I do wonder what banner were gettu g next week now. It should be a raid, but Im not sure whats on the docket. I doubt we get VP simultaneously with JP.

Maybe we get the Monster Hunter event to coincidence with the release of MHW?
---

Dropped another 25k. Got Marie #3 and Gilgamesh #4. This is fucking ridiculous

Edit: 50k. Added Luneth #2, Seabreeze Dark Fina #1, and Light Veritas #3. Still no banners.

One out of my last thirteen rainbows have been on banner. 7.6%.
---

enjoy your super TMRs

I don't think I'm going to last until super TMRs. I'm tired of never seeing a banner rainbow. Better off putting my money into something that actually gives me a return like cryptocurrencies or the toilet.
---

maybe you should just try waiting a week to pull. you might get basch next week because hell be off banner

Not going to happen. I've lost faith in this. Seriously considering burning off the rest of my tickets since I'm out of lapis, saying fuck it, and deleting the app.
---

this is why I stay f2p and just take whatever I end up with
---

you shouldn't be pulling for on-banner rainbows until step ups anyway.
we aren't that far away from them.
---

6 or so months, and were likely to get the more nerfed version when they do arrive.
---

If it's a raid we still have the third FF14 raid along with their enhancements.

Other candidates are FF15(Aranea/Prompto) and Bravely Default. But they could add an original as well.

And we are still 1% for banner rainbows. The extra 2% will skew like the cursed monkey paw it is.

Edit: And why the heck are there still so many dumb Baschs around without 100% fire resistance? >_<

That should be 33.3% for on banner, not 7.6%. Theres RNG is RNG and theres absolute bullshit.

Anyone know how they can catch people buying third party lapis. If I can do that with a small purchase and get banned that might be for the best.
---

I got Vayne!!! now to level him up and make the villain team of my dreams
---

dude just stop playing if its frustrating you do much
---

just wait until I drop all of my reserves on the ff8 banner and come up empty handed

shit will be flipped
---

Just wait until I spent all my money on the FFTA banner and don't get Marche
---

Yea, there's a reason why I take long breaks from this game( or other mobile games). If it's pissing you off, take a break from it.
---

Even if I take a break, I know my addictive personality will eventually come back and spend more. I need the account banned so I cant get into it anymore or Ill just keep repeating this.

Maybe Ill just unlink the credit card from iTunes, that could work!
