Brave Frontier

Challenge arena is out today. Played a bunch. Aka how many times can I get no brave burst rule in a row. It will also make you glad you leveled all those random units.

Hp and bb carry over between each match and you can see what rule you are getting between each fight. Bench injured units before "no brave burst" and "empty bb gauge" matches. Benched units keep their bb gauge so you can rotate empty units in one at a time during regular matches to fill them up.

Awesome man First one is the hardest, all downhill from there.

I haven't even looked at it yet, I should now I suppose.

Been messing around with Chain Chronicle some, but it is a really bad substitute for the Brave Frontier addiction. It is the sort of game where you'll run out of Energy/AP in pretty short order (and regens energy at like 1 per 8 minutes so that is slooooow in comparison), and you don't have much to do. The "Arena" only lets you go only 5 times a day, but it forces you to wait at least 5 minutes in between each attempt win or lose (seriously, that is obnoxious). To top it all off the rates for any decent units are freakin' absymal. As in so bad that it punishes BOTH F2P and P2P....one is an extreme waste of time (bad) and the other would be an extreme waste of money (worse).

To top it all off, it doesn't have the depth Brave Frontier has either.

It might be amusing to play for a few days just to mess with, but beyond that I don't recommend it.

Thanks for the tips on the Challenge Arena, I'll give that a go.

Before I started my few days break from Brave Frontier I had just finished leveling up ALL units to at least 5 stars (wait, just 5-stars? That's not impressive, right?).....seriously though, filter by rank and I have *Zero* units at 4 stars or lower on my roster (try it).....which also basically means that my *entire* roster is only 1 rank away from being Maxed Ranked (6 or 7 stars, whichever highest evolution is available for a given unit). I ain't gonna lie, it was a little bit exhausting. If I bother to farm Honor during the next double honor event, from where I am now, it is entirely possible I could max rank my entire roster next month heh....harder to do with 5-stars, but I already have a head start, been working those up too already. Realistically it would probably be more like 2 months, but still.

So are you still sticking with 7-star units?

I just jumped in blind, managed to get some of my better units killed before I realized what was going on.

I can't seem to avoid "Opponent First Strikes" due to squad being too powerful. I haven't actually lost a match yet, but lost numerous good units already.

I probably should have done at least a few minutes reading first




Edit: I'm getting it. This will be more enjoyable whenever the next reset happens so that I can start with a full roster again.

You are right though, it pays to have a big roster of usable units for this.

Do spheres not apply? It kinda seems not.


Almost 70% of my 7-stars (that are still alive) have their SBB's charged atm. (Goddamnit Gumi, I was just getting over you.)

Challenge Arena is Grindy. As. Fuck.

Challenge arena basically hangs on what you can get out of the CA summon gate (when it is implemented) and how much it costs. I'm not optimistic, the prices of artons and imp keys are dumb. I've been able to hang at tier 14, but the newness is wearing off quick.

Didn't know they had a max gems limit. Just hit 500 (ftp). It's like with puzzles where I saved a ton of gems but ended up not using them because I stopped playing.

Not sure if I like how grindy the arena is right now. I don't even do the FG grind.

Got promoted to summoner, 3 gems. Since there are only 2500 people in summoner I'll get 1 gem per day and 2 from the weekly even if I don't play. Makes the last three days worth it.

Challenge arena definitely has the worst grind per day compared to fh, fg and raid.

Units to save for: dolk(if you don't have a krantz), Avante (less valuable if you a zedus), chrome (not super valuable if you have rhoa). We're pretty far ahead on units compared to content, so no rush unless you have a shit ton of gems.

Alyut, farlon, signas, lunaris, Ciara, and semira 7*s out tomorrow. Preliminary data on the Halloween units is good, both are useable.

So, I accumulated 5 gems while messing around with the game on the PC version from doing quests/CC collab vortex dungeons and whatnot......decided to yolo a summons on the SRS gate. And got....

Vanberk. Awesome. Always wanted more Vanberks sitting around doing nothing.




Also, R.I.P. Quaid, you had a good run.

Ciara= quaid + attack buff + def ignore.

Quaid is arguably still a better arena leader.

Edit: officially done with the FG grind. Now if only CA wasn't so unfun. Currently enemies randomly strike first at summoner rank, regardless of bonus multiplier.

Try rhoa, krantz, will, tridon, melchio, griff friend. Only thing you don't have is bc on hit, but your dmg and survive should be great.
