i can't really think of a scenario where you would need to condense a Lilly and mitigator into a single unit. especially if you have a Darvanshel since he does damage and can almost constantly keep his BB going every turn. where with Narza you could very easily break the cycle of SBB every 3rd turn by having to use his BB for mitigation. that's just from my experience trying to use him to beat the Maxwell trial though, so it might be easier in future content to use Narza as a combination Lilly/mitigation unit. or maybe using ares excelsior LS with the right spheres could keep his BB gauge filled each turn. or maybe i've gotten spoiled with constant mitigation with Darvanshel

also having trouble deciding who would benefit best from Magress sphere... thinking Darvanshel since Black Lance fills 4-6BC when attacking, with Ihsir's guise leaving 4BC from using his BB his gauge should be almost half full before taking any BC drops
Darv doesn't need the boost if he's using a normal attack making Dandelga the better option since Black Lance only functions on normal attacks. Between the other weapons, hit spheres, Ishir's, and Evil Shards/equivalents I'm not sure I'll ever equip the thing to be honest. It might get slotted on a B team v a trial where you actually want to be using more than one squad but if you have the other current end game spheres it just kind of falls flat. If I didn't already have Maxwell I would probably have used it on Zelnite but there's no content atm where it's worth a slot. Maybe for Cardes but I haven't bothered to look that fight up yet.

yeah that's the same team i used except i didn't have a zelnite at the time so i used uda. the teams i see use mitigator, healer, BC/BB gauge buffer, Rowgen/Lillith/Sergio or anyone that can BB every turn for damage, with the lilly/grah leads.

just looking over the long term tier list and fiora got bumped up a tier? is her chance to debuff SBB that desirable?
For Raids/Cardes it's good to have a debuffer. It's not required but it helps a good bit from what I understand.

it'd be nice if they would have put 'normal attack' instead of just 'attack'

edit:

ah, yeah i think i saw ushi's video on lugina ex trial and he was using her.

Oh I thought the sphere used to read 'when attacking normally' or something. Maybe I got that from the Reddit thread so already kinda knew. Strange, they should definitely add that.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out a use for this sphere either. It's kind of the same as the Malice Jewels, to be honest. With the GGC spheres, do I really even give a shit anymore? Dandelga on Darvanshel is automatic. Drevas on my status null is too. Lexida on Zelnite, or whatever unit replaces Zelnite in the distant future is a sure thing too. I guess Malice Jewels on the other two units if I don't care about figuring out what to give them.

I may get 5 Malice Jewels for stuff where you need to bring a 2nd squad, but really, I just don't see a whole lot of content that it'd get used on. The only other reason I'll do it is just to make raids have an actual purpose.

now it feels sort of like when i got the legwand from the last FH. getting the sphere just for the accomplishment of getting it, although steamrolling through GGC doesn't feel like as much of an accomplishment as getting 1.3m on terminus without a maxwell/crit team.

Lilly Matah Lead, Darvanshel, Lilith, Healer*, Elza, Grahdens ally is what I'll go with.

Healers: Ulkina, Elimo, Tree, Rashil. Thinking Ulkina because she can nuke with her SBB or heal with her BB. I need to sphere frog my Darvanshel and get him two decent spheres...

lol don't even think about nuking with ulkina, you'll be praying that your healer has bb up every round, did you sphere frog a healer? or rather tree/ulkina? cuz drevas/evil shard makes bb every round a reality (and fujin when your SOL)

wait did you do all GGC yet? you should do at least vargas for the dandelga and put it on darv. and lance for the drevas to put on tree/ulkina, it's also 30% buff and you really need as much hp as you can.

I also think you should switch out elza for a bb fixer like a zelnite.

I am terrible at Maxwell and have just learned to accept it. It is either RNG and him just focus firing down people, BB not refilling, blah blah. Last attempt was:

Lead Lilly (Legwand / Evil Shard)
Dilma (Batootha)
Zelnite (Dragon Stud / Omni Gizmo)
Darvanshel (Dandelga / Ihsir's)
Ulkina (Drevas)

Have two Sphere Frogs sitting around and could drop it on Ulkina if I wanted. Need to knock out Selena for Lexida and then do the story enough to make a Sol Creator.

is your zelnite dying? you might want to replace a sphere w/ legwand/medula also are you using grah friend? make sure they got legwand/medula.

you don't have a lillith or rowgen? i think luther might work if you don't have either one, and at least better than dilma since luther's BB damage modifier is higher. when i ran maxwell i made sure to keep using darvashel's BB every chance i got regardless of the turn. in fact the only time i ever paid attention to the turns was when i was close to killing her and made sure i killed her right after sacred song

No its mostly BB generation and Ulkina / Darvanshel not being ready. I usually take fujin pots and potions, revive light, and cure / divine light.

To cheenky, nope only STBB would be Rickel and he isn't SBB yet. I have Elza.

Run elza with lexida. Get a sol generator for zelnite.

It's been done with every healer. You probably want tree to have an easier time 1 squading the mini bosses.

Just one squaded Maxwell. Grahdens lead, Lily friend, Ulkina, Darvenshel, Rowgen, and Zelnite. Brought the basic heal pot, Fujins, and both the 75% res and 1% res pots. Used all but 2 heals, and 1 each of the fujins and res pots.

Now to level up and max out bb/sbb. Already sphere frogged.

"Ciara:
BB10 - 250% and ATK Buff of 95%, but note that the ATK buff does not apply on Ciara's BB. 22 BC
SBB10 - 420% and ATK Buff of 110%, and the DEF ignore is now 2 turns and applies on her SBB as well. 42 BC
Semira:
BB10 - 250%, 20 BC
SBB10 - 370%, 38 BC
Also their BB/SBB costs got rescaled so that increasing BB levels do not increase in BC cost. Your prayers have been answered."
