The one thing I do like about it is that you can get a lot of work out units otherwise considered mediocre. Have a horde of dark units you wanna throw at the opposing team and actually want a decent chance of winning against more powerful units? Lunaris shines as lead. Ditto Loch, Lava, for their respective elements.

Are there any options as far as getting fuse mats (gods/crystals)? I've got my merit trade exhausted of all of them, i bought all the metal keys from there as well. Got plenty of zel and have farmed up 10 Mech Gods and ready to get Avani, Rahgan to 7 for my arena team as well as Mikael (situational raid/trial single target burn team mit), Korzan (thinking my new LS unless i 100% need to use Laberd to live) and Avant (not sure i have a spot for him at the moment as Korzan seems to just be a better overall fit but strictly on raw damage Avant probably brings abit more to the table so i'm sure i may use).

Got Charla fully decked out with UBB/2 spheres but still dont have room for her, getting close at lvl 140 to afford a 4th 7 star.Also got Zenia her obs shard and maxxed out, still playing with her but she is in my arena team with Hadaron lead at the moment and they are destoying teams that are 75-100 levels ahead of me without even a chance of loss so i am liking them.

Just need some damn fusion exp mats

If you raid you should have a lot of brave medals. Use them on the slot machines to get a ton of crystal units for fuse exp, along with other goodies like imps and spheres used to craft malice and buffer jewels.

Yep i keep my slots used at all times and raid when its up, i've got all of R1-R5 done but the last R5 (forced solo mission); tried it once with a sub optimal team and figured i'd wait until i can get 4 7 star's on the team, my 4 & 5 star guy are just fodder and die to easy on him. I need to finish off Mikael RX3 trial as well but hadn't tried since i was lvl 125 (141 now with a better roster and spheres) so i'll give it a crack when i hit my 4 7 stars.

I have like 200+ summons for honor so i hope they come up soon, slots aren't even close to meet my fuse exp needs at the moment.

Looking for a high level Avant friend if anyone has by chance, just got into fucking around with Frontier things and I think a new FH is coming up. Is it a safe bet to use Avant as my leader in FH and use Korzan for Raids/GGC for abit better surviability/self sustained BB (in scenarios where i don't need to run my Laberd as LS)

I run Korzan with Haile friend for raids, works out really well with a BC/HC buffer. I'll put up my Avant.

Thanks, now that i'm getting into the R5 X trials (?, dont understand the wiki difference between RC5 & RC X5 blah blah) finally running into some trouble, my low tier 4 star and 5 star struggle to live. 4-5 more levels and i can finally get that 4th 7star on line and that should dramtically change the game for me with Charla sitting 2 sphered full UBB waiting to rock. Should help my BC gen, some of those last raids really drain some shit.

For a 4 man team trying to do some of the later trials X4 on, and end RC5 and x's along with GCC (think i am on the 5th one's last boss), whats your thoughts for party comp (obv will vary on individual fight but in general terms)

Have the following or will finish getting once i get some exp fodder in the next few days

Migitators - Krantz, Labred, Mikael (Mikael still needs exp & frog sphere but ill get shortly). Also have Dolk but haven't bothered leveling as Krant/Labred have done awesome up to this point
Healers/Support - Charla, Emilo, Tridon (keeping him 5 star atm for cheap cost unit that can still do something of use but can get 7 and have his trident sphere waiting)
Spark - Chrome, Avani
Crit - Avant, Griff, Korzan (Avant and Korzan asap)
Bombers - Hadaron, Zenia
Misc - Michelle, Libera,
Also have Rahgan close to being fully prepared but was just aiming to use in Arena team

I've got plenty of others but those seem to be most the top tiers any way that i have 7star or about to be. Need a 4 man crew that has good BB regen, can stay alive, and actually do damage. Was curious if Mikael would help out on the damage side with his 1000% scaled SBB, unless its strictly large groups i just can't part with Hadaron, he drops the pain so well. Charla seems like a neccassicty to provide a variety of BB fill, status cleanse, heals. Leaves me with 1 slot if i go those 3, was curious how Zenia may pair with Hadaora but probably should use Korzan or Avant for damage augmentation LS/buffs for Had plus HP LS. Might give me my best balance of damage and surviability, just hate not having a Tridon but if i can't stay alive i guess i can use the friend one but i have a 7k+ attack Avani that helps destory.

Such a complex game for something so simple, glad i started playing again just with fucking levels weren't so slow, seems like i've been running shit non stop for a week and only done 100-143 with 16-18 hours a day off and on but alot of no-effecient time learning and trial setc.

Whats the consensus on the Valentine units? I have a ton of gems and I'm really regretting not picking up Avani when she was available. Worth dropping gems?

Reading forums, it sounds like Randolph is popular as a leader. I'm at 94 gems, so I'm going to do a few more grand chronicle missions then use 100 gems on summoning since it's rate up on lots of units I want but don't have like Tridon, Hadaron, etc, and 100% Randolph on the 20th summon.

Ravenna is supposedly one of if not the best single target dps unit in some situations, but it's too niche for my needs as a still newish player.

Did my 20 summons, got a Randolph around summon 12, was oracle so I kept going. 20th summon was the guaranteed Randolph... also oracle. Sigh... at least I got some good stuff on the way like anima Tridon, breaker Zenia, etc. Really was hoping for breaker Randolph, but I guess oracle isn't the worst for him at least due to his mechanics.

Don't burn your merit points on gods/crystals. Use those for spheres/imp keys. Right now it's 1/2 energy, so Mega Metal Parade is a good place for some leveling (30stam, 7k xp, make sure you level when doing it). Super Honor Summon, Raid Medals, Parades. You get 4 metal keys a week, and occasionally one from frontier hunter and giveaways.




Decided to roll once on the Rudolph gate for shits and giggles. What I got would determine if I went for more (shitty unit, try for more; dupe, try for more; decent, done). First roll: Breaker Avani. LOOKS LIKE I'M DONE HERE.

Nice! On one hand im tempted to roll for Avani, Randolph, Haile, and hadron for ca leads. On the other hand I hate the ca grind.

CA just fucking kills me. It's literally just a limit on how many unique units you have, and having to go against these shit-ass teams in the rookie league drains the fuck out of me. If it were somehow limited, rather than basically unlimited, I'd be much more willing to grind it out.

I just tried a rank 6 raid for the first time, against tech armor beorg. Talk about being rolled, I got decimated within 2-3 rounds all 3 lives, and that was with 2 tankish leader skills, and dolk's mitigation buff up immediately on round 1. I don't even understand, I have to think I'm pretty close to the ceiling for survival stacking, I can solo clear any rank 5 raid easily. I'm not sure what more I can do to survive his onslaught of incoming damage.

What's your group? Also, were you following the guide? RC6 is straight out fucking MURDER if you fuck up.

I'm level 203, and the team I use currently for raiding is:

Lead: Charla 7* (oracle) -- Phoenix Crown and Eremorn's Aegis
Friend: Tridon 7* (breaker) -- Tridon's Trident and Demon Crown
Avant 7* (anima) -- Dandelga and Vorpal Chainblades
Dolk 7* (lord) -- Drevas and Heresy Orb
Rhoa 7* (lord) -- Occult Treasure and Steeple Rose
Reis 6* (anima) -- Malice Jewel and Sol Creator

Everyone has bb and sbb level 10. Everyone is capped on hp and defense imps, all the dps are capped on atk imps. I didn't check a guide first (probably a mistake) but I figured I'd go in and see it at least once first to get an idea, then use a guide to clean up mistakes I made. I didn't expect to fail that horribly instantly though. I'm close to being able to fit all 7* on the team (a few levels away) and once super honor summons open, I'll level the Randolph I recently obtained and probably make him my new leader and drop Reis or Rhoa, maybe swap in Zenia for one of them also.

Yeah, RC6 actually requires paying attention to the mechanics (Shusui especially) or else you end up getting railed.
