Not sure how long I can stand this new arena mode, but I guess it's cool that ypu get to use unkts that you've historically dismissed as useless. Lava, Lunaris and Loch are super good leads when bb is disabled and you just wanna throw a bunch of trash with double attack power at the opponent.

Seriously don't sweat it, man. Swings of fortune are an indelible part of the game, and it can change at any moment. I went a long time withno7 star (non-Elimo) mitigator and no Zenia back when shewasthe metagame. I didn't care how good my luck was when I couldn't get either. Hell, I quit over it.

Fast-forward a few months and while I still have no Zenia, I'm fucked now by the sheer salvo of mitigators. Lack thereof was so catastrophic that I chose Krantz as free unit; pulled a Krantz immediately thereafter; Shera 7* arrived; got Gazia; forgot to change unit of choice, now I'm getting another Krantz.

I know I posted that before, but that was all within like two days. You've presumably still got a unit of choice coming, whereas Ishad and I have blown ours (somebody please, PLEASE correct me if there's a way to change it at this point). (Also I am assuming Ishad chose Avant).

I've lamented in the past Alim's tendency to release a glut of linear improvements to existing units (Reis -> Griff, Raaga -> Rhoa) in lieu of interesting sidegrades (Kikuri -> Medina, Kira -> Dion), but it can go a long way toward unfucking indignant/frustrated players by offering the possibility of a single good pull alleviating any amount of rage. I'm not familiar with this meta but I think that applies to you, because all anybody ever seems to talk about is Avant and Zedus
I'm going to try re-registering for a unit using a different Facebook account. Who knows if it will work. Going to ask for Dolk I guess.

Zedus and avant are getting lots of talk as grind content like fh,fg and raid are all damage races and they're two of the best damage leads. Of course, since this is global none of them are necessary because we are way behind on content relative the units we have.

My amazing pulls yesterday? The best thing I can do with them is run a better fg squad if I want to start farming for the 1.5-3 million point rewards.

That was the way I was told to change the unit by Gumi support.

The whole process is a bit of a shit show. I don't think they were really prepared to do the giveaway. Which is why I won't be mad if the change doesn't go through as I wasn't 100% convinced I was going to even get my unit of choice.


Edit: it looks like all legacy units (not including global exclusives or sbs units) are available to be summoned for 3000 rainbow coins from challenge arena. I'd expect god gate soon.

Yes.

Store, Trade, Trade Unit.

Make sure you have the "right" one available. If you want to maximize points, fully evo them (and level, w/e). I don't bother, because I just want the box space back.
What should I be considering so far as which ones I want to keep? For instance the 3 Kefka's I have are Breaker, Oracle, and Anima.

I think all types are more viable than the used to be, but with the recent revamp Anima > Guardian > Lord > Breaker > Oracle, with oracle being the only one you truly wanna avoid if you can. Still definitely worth using any oracle if it's the only one available.

After the revamp I guardian went from second worst to second best imo. And I prefer breakers to lords on bruiser units, but I'm not sure that opinion is shared.

Ok, most of my guys are Anima, Guardian and Breakers so I guess I'm doing well. After tons of summons since I've started, my list of noteworthy dudes based on the list on the first page is:
Griff
Caria
Owen
Elimo
Signas
Libera
Dolk
Andaria
Shera
Charla
Melchio
Nadore
Kira
Sefia
Reis
Semira
Kefka
Feeva

Christ, you're already doing as well as I am almost. Griff, Elimo, Libera, Dolk, Shera, Charla, Melchio, Nadore, Kira, Reis, Semira, Feeva are all worth someting to various degrees. Does Kefka = Kafka? If so, him too. Reis is replaced by Griff, though, and Libera and Nadore are very similar.

Griff, Libera, Dolk, Charla, Melchio, Nadore in particular, I think. Just returned to the game so I'm not really gonna pretend to know what I'm talking about.

It sort of sucks that you're screwed on cost until level 217 or so.

I have just about all of them max level at their first form. Cant really evolve anything due to squad cost but for now I have enough points for Dolk, Griff, Shera, Charla, and Andaria which seems to work pretty well.

Who else should I consider for a lead? Using Dolk for grinding, also he's the only one I have evolved and SBB.

Griff is the most common lead among those by far, but I imagine you're just going through the quests, in which case...Griff if you're not having bb fill issues. If you're not consistently.filling your gauge to at least bb and partial sbb every turn, try Libera.

Your units are so powerful compared to the content you're going through it doesn't really matter.

2.9 million with Chrome, Griff, Gazia, Libera, Ruby, Avant friend. Haven't looked up how the scoring works, though, so all I did was remove Aurelia from main squad and replace with Ruby. We're measuring through floor 20, right?

Pulled 5 more times...

Irvis (Dupe)
Lemia (what the fuck... 3* from RS)
Rubeus
Aurelia
Kagura
Bestie (Dupe) present.

Glad I got an Aurelia... already have her SBS unit ready for her and have her harp made. Not sure on Kagura or Rubeus. Dupe Bestie is meh. Giving me a 3 star is just bullshit.

AAAAND just after I pull they change the rare summon to SUPER RARE SUMMON +

3 new units... and an elgif for every 2 summons.

Summon four times... Kagura (dupe, seriously) + Diana (dupe), and lvl 1Sick Elgif (adds low chance of sick to attacks), maruideath (new!) + rowgen (dupe) and lvl2 warrior Elgif (probably BB guage increase when attacking normally).

Meh. Another slot machine of shit to collect.


Anyone know how the elgifs work?

Fuck it, 2 more... Rashil (dupe) and Balgran (new!) with lvl1 Raging Elgif (boosts spark dmg when sparks have exceeded a certain amount).

Wtf is an elgif?
Attach it to a unite for an additional Extra Skill style perk. One of the best I've seen so far is +25% Crit rate, but that is pretty damn rare.

Mostly it's whale bait, give folks something else to fish for from the gates besides just units.





Not what I came here to post though.....

LORD AVANT!!!!


FUCKIN'. FINALLY.


Geezus Christ. In my pissed off, fuk it, Kamakaze frame of mind, I started dumping all my banked summon tickets and FH gems, anything I'd collected on my PC client......decided to put some into the newest pool-of-17, even though I had numerous units from that pool and didn't want most that I didn't have - just because I'm so sick and tired of age-old dupes of units nobody in their right mind has wanted to use in more than a year....if I was gonna get dupes, at least give me newer dupes that won't make me bust a vein.


Anyways.....Lord Fuckin' Avant. Not even in my top 3 for typing, but you know what? I don't even give a shit. Holy christ it is about damn time that gate paid out something worth having.

Goddamn.


This is finally a unit worth retooling a group around. Sweet baby geezus its about damn time.





Edit: It was the very last summons I could do too.....had literally dumped *everything* and just bought the latest discounted summon ticket from Achievement Points that unlocked today.......that ticket is the one that got me Avant. I was ready to walk this thing down to the beach and throw it in the damn ocean if that summon didn't pay out lol holy hell


I think I need a towel
