The absolute max is level 117 for cost of 135, with each unit being 27 cost. These are for the newest units, older units have less cost. Like Vargas would only be 20 cost, so you'd only need level 80 for 5 of him.

So level 80 to 117, realistically somewhere in the 110's depending on individual unit cost, this is the guide i use.

Honestly AO, I would set aside the idea of leveling units (aside from BB leveling maxed units) and focus on advancing the storyline. For one, you can't discount what amounts to free gems. Energy gets regened fast enough that you can get two to three a day depending on how far along you are. Secondly, while not the best energy/exp ratio, the further along you get the more it becomes "not bad" and you'll find yourself leveling up fairly often. Plus, the requisite zel and karma drops, which ultimately end up better on a per energy ratio than the weekend and Monday Vortex. Oh, and higher level materials for the better spheres.

The best thing you can do for yourself is level. Once you hit that magic spot where full 6* teams are possible your life becomes infinitely easier. You're not that far off so making that a focus for a bout a week, even if you only used up your full energy bar for that purpose once a day would get you that much closer.

My goal was 110 for a while for team cost as that allowed me to get all the 6*'s I had at the time in. I'm pretty sure with the new units my cost is higher than what that was but I've gained levels faster than it matters, so now I don't really have to worry about team cost ever again (outside of stuff like trials for multi-teams).

I'm also not sure why you're upset. You said you wanted Zelnite and Darv, and in 4 summons you got Darv. That's incredibly lucky still. I did 11 or 12 summons on the Zelnite rate up, and it wasn't until my very last summon that I got Zelnite. Didn't get Darv at all. I'd much rather have Darvanshel over Zelnite, too. I can sub in any number of units that are similar to Zelnite, but Darv is pretty damn unique (damage + defense up). Anima is even a good typing!

Oh, and moon is dead on about the quests, even though personally I've stalled out this week due to the rate up event. I ran Rainbow for the first time this morning and got 107k zel! I basically don't ever run the jewel or weekend dungeons anymore, despite the fact that I'm leveling stuff faster than ever before now. It's also part of the reason why I'm sitting on 30+ gems right now. I'm looking forward to the next (last) quest zone too, so I can start making Amano-whatever-the-fucks (crit sphere). I made 2 sol creators so far on my run up through Mirvana, and could do a 3rd if I didn't care about item space so much.

Yea unless you want to be rolling in the zel or materials, it's ok to live w/o zelnite cuz he's so damn popular you'll have at least 10 friends who have him as lead. But Darv will never be a lead (unless you ask for someone to put him up for a day), so it's great just to have your own mitigation guy around.

I mean i'm a hypocrite cuz i just a zelnite, but i lived w/o him for a while. (and won't be using him till a few metal parades)

Is this working as intended now? on IOS....
up till about a week ago, i could set up auto battle while at work, get called away and come back and phone went to sleep mode. I'd log back in and continue my battle with no issues.
now, if the phone sleeps, the game restarts itself, gone it seems are the days where you can let the phone sleep and then continue when you wake it back up.
This has gotten very annoying as now using energy or a key and then pausing on the last battle or any battle, then driving home and getting back in only to have the game auto restart.

Running iOS, too, but not seeing anything like that. My phone falls asleep all the time and I can still pick up where I left off. Did you update recently?

I have 2 new units not maxed... and 1 other non duped decent unit not max leveled in the "max form I can handle". I've got ~3 to 5 of each crystal waiting (and 1-6 gods of each kind) as well. Unit leveling has never been a problem (Zel to evolve can be).

BB leveling is "done". Elza, Lilly, Lilith, Elimo, Elsel, ... all my 6* units have 10/10 SBB; Most of 5* are at 10/10 BB simply because I won't sell fodder (stupid Ulkina not being 80 means I won't dump healers into her because of zel cost). Melchio, Radyn, Altri, Dilma, Lebra, all 10/10 BB.

I have a couple quest teams, but it's generally Elza for BB spam. Really, the drops for better spheres (and unlocking some bonus areas to try for Sphere Frogs) is what I was looking for. Summoner level is what I really want to focus on for 117. I'd run 4P constantly if it were the best, but it seems like there are other things that are better further down (also maybe Zebra farming...). Right now I was basically amassing Honor Summons (at 220ish right now), but I think I'm just going to grind it out.

Thanks for the advice

I don't think that's intended, I still have the "original" behavior you do on my nexus 7.

My Grahdens kept dying in the Maxwell fight, so I've been powering a lord Azael as a replacement. He's a light-type with a 700% SBB that hits with both dark/light element. Having a 'great success' rate helped incredibly in leveling his SBB to 10.

I ran Mistral => Morgan => Kagan Desert => Bandit of the Desert, which I really like as an attack fodder farming zone. It's 5 energy, 7 battles, and all the drops are attack-type BBs, except for the random Fire Spirits that you can come across. I usually come out with 2-6 fodder units per run, averaging 4-5 units. It was literally the easiest SBB grind I've done.

Another thing is that it's good for Green Grass and Green Drops to make Cures and therefore Revives. I've blown through my stock of Revives on my Maxwell tries, so finding a good place to farm Cure materials was a bonus.

I like Grahdens mostly for the bonus to HP and defense. With Destiny still hitting for 7.5k while guarding, that's pretty important. I guess if I had a few Legwand Gems it wouldn't be quite as important, but I need all the help I can get.

Also, another helpful hint for you if you're going to lose your Maxwell fight, close Brave Frontier and do a force close on the app. When you log back in, your items will still be there. The only thing you lose is the energy.

And Ao, I have no idea how you've maxed all your units. Maybe you just have significantly fewer units than I do? I currently have 9 units completely maxed out (10 SBB). I have another 7 that are max lvl 6*'s, but not max SBB.

BF Units - Google Sheetsand then I have a retarded amount of other units that are just in various stages of leveling.

Game itself updated last week i think, but it can fall asleep for a short period... like ~1 to 3 minutes, but let it sleep longer like 10+ minutes and the game reboots itself.

I think it's because I was mostly bringing him for the dark element buff and not in the leader position. With him as a lead, he's beefy enough to withstand attacks, but my BC generation was piss poor with just Lilly Matah as a team member.

I've kinda settled on Lilly Matah as leader with a Darvanshel friend to cover status immunity. I have my own Darvanshel, so I can keep the 50% mitigation up constantly. It's really safe for the first two fights, but still can get RNG'd on the actual Maxwell fight (screw you Rune). Without Grahdens on lead, he only has 6.1k hp with a Medulla Gem, so he's pretty much dead once Maxwell comes out.

Leveling Azael may be the wrong path, but I guess I'll see once I get him to level 100 and take another swing at Maxwell.

I don't think you'll be upset leveling him. From what I've read he's severely underrated. He's a hard hitter even without the elemental weakness. I'd say if you can fit him on your Maxwell squad it'd be worth it.

I'm jealous of you all with the Maxwell ideal units. Not having a single Darvanshel, Altri, or Lilly of my own really makes it a bitch. Just having one of them would make things much simpler for me.

You're way way past me. I've got 4 or 5 6* units, that's why. Everyone else is 5* (and level 80) or 4* (and level 60). Maxed for me is the tolerance of where they can be and still be usable (not necessarily 6*). Best is example is Dilma; he is one of my go to units, so he'll stay at 5* Max with 10BB until I hit 117 (though, I have both Anima and Breaker, so I think Anima will go 6* soon and Breaker can stay at 5* for general usage). Same for Aisha, Altri, etc. Once I can fly-free with team cost, I'll start max evolving and leveling everyone (in order of their relative value).

Kind of funny, I rolled through and one shot the previous 3 dungeons with the same team, level 5 was an easy auto battle.

Get into the thunder dungeon, with Darv active he aoe blew through 4 units and laughingly killed the other two on level 5 even, not level 6. Crazy shit.

Ok I tried maxwell like last week and got wtf pwn'd this week i've been just leveling up, what would work best? (they're all 6star sbb10s)

Grah (lead)
Darv
Themis (my only healer)
Lily (friend)

what would i put for the other 2 slots? (6star sbb10)
uda
luthor
dilma
lunaris
Michele
Ophelia

Or should i just wait until 6star Ulkina (red healer with status cure) and 6star rowgen get released?

If you have a 5* Rowgen waiting, I'd wait for 6* and then add Rowgen (dps) and Lunaris (status null) to your team. That should be good enough to down her with a single team.

It is ok if Grahdens dies on this fight. Revive him at end to finish Maxwell off. When he dies off you will get better BC crystal distribution to rest of your team. He is there to be a Medulla gem.

If you know you are going to die to Maxwell, crash / close your game. You will lose the energy, but keep the items.

Ideally you have a great team with release of Ulkina/Rowgen.

Grah Lead
Darvenshel
Themis
Rowgen
Ulkina
Lilly Friend

Otherwise this could work also...

--- scratch that --- Did not have status immune.

Do you have chronicle spheres / sol creators and who is sphere frogged?
