I went with Aurelia because I need a status cleanse and don't want to tie up my Krantz (heals+mitigation) to doing status cleanse (+mitigation). It's pretty low dps :|

I keep getting fucked on RC6. I'll follow the stance-dance bullshit, but still get the expression of anger along with an empty seal the turn after resulting in a wipe. Even sometimes without the expression he'll blow through mitigation+earth shield like it's NBD and wipe me.

Who's a sub for Charla? Gonna try that sub with my own Haile and your Korzan.
There isn't a good 1:1 replacement for Charla in that setup. She brings too many buffs and her angel idol extra skill lets me run away during expression of anger turns so I don't get wiped by empty seal. I would recommend harvesting rc2 "reveal my secret" for smoke bombs, red/blue orbs which help a bunch.

Crafted my 5 war emperor blades, so done until the next mission gets released. Thank god they did raid drops up.

I need to not slack off on spheres. Just haven't had a lot of time lately.

Are Zedus and Haile gonna fuck each other up with competing atk down buffs? Because otherwise the two comprise a nice suite of damage buffs.

Not liking Zedus's 12 hitcount sbb, though.

Zedus is fuckin awesome! I just got him to 7* with his gem and I have him paired with Avant. I'm melting RC4 bosses in 2 turns.

I think both are 50% down so having both just increases your overall chance at applying the debuff.

Monday dungeon makes me wish I had Xmas unit... only one with +xp, right? Not that I have any major milestones to hit soon, as I'm gonna hit 270 today(ish).

Started working on spheres in earnest last night and the streamlining of raids makes a world of difference. But fuck joining so many raids with a boss already dead or about to die. I need these drops.

Just got her with a BP summon ticket, Fuck Yeah!

Now to hate my life again as I try and level her.
You hate getting the crystals to level or you hate getting the evo materials?

First part will soon be easy due to SHS/Metal-Key excess/Giveaways, second part is easy (easier) when they do the monthly/biweekly. You'll get there, trust me. Once you hit the point of running 5 7* you won't even sweat it.

Start your own raids and people will auto-join in. Much easier if you need specific parts.


Also, fuck this wargod hair bullshit :|

I beat that guy once, got no drops, and decided since I only have like 6 Malices and 2 Buffers, working on them is time better spent for now. About to get my third Buffer, then after a few more I'll start working on the 40%

I also don't understand how some people are putting out the damge that they are. Maybe I'm wrong in assuming Haile, Zedus, Zeru, Krantz, Hadaron and Avant friend would blow shit the fuck up. Charla would be ideal, but I don't have one. Either way, doing way more than most people but every now and then somebody does 2-3 times the damage I do and one crazy bastard was doing 5x.

Most rc5 bosses are crit damage resistant so that avant friend likely isn't doing you much good. I put my Lucius up, see if using that helps your overall score.

Unit of choice is tomorrow. I've gone from meh on Dolk to pretty stoked about his atk to def convert after running some tests with my Korzan squad. Hopefully they don't mess it up.

What about RC3 and 4? I'm rank 6 but most of the drops I need for Buffer are RC4 - do those bosses have crit resistance? Tried to pull up a list of crit resistant raid bosses earlier but google fu failed me.

And do you agree that that should be a pretty high-damage squad? Zedus works really well in it.

edit: high damage, providing there's no crit resistance I mean.

Anything below rc5 and your bringing to much survivability with Haile as a lead. make zedus a lead and Haile a sub.

Balmedia's tail is crit damage resistant. That's the main one I remember.

I was cleaning up my RC3 and 4 with Zedus lead, Feeva, Bestie, Rhoa, Dolk, Avant friend (all 7* except Dolk) and easily doing twice as much damage as the next guy.

Leveling crystals are a pain since you cant actively control what color you get. Evo mats have been awesome this past week with all the dungeons up and half energy. I just have so many guys to level up that I cant use the evo mats (first world problems), and a couple of the summons I picked up changed my priority list and squad synergy so I had to readjust and re-evaluate, in addition to me only having enough squad cost to field four 7* so I cant just rush my best five to max.

Between shs, raid slots machines, gift box prizes and half energy vortexes this game shits crystals at you constantly. Don't be afraid to feed off color. Unit development cycle is a fraction of PAD.

I have been, but in the past week I've gotten six to 7*, 3 of which were straight out of the summon gate and another three to 6*. Burned through 300+ summons worth of honor points, 500 raid coins, 25 keys, and probably 40000 to 50000 merit for random things, while leveling up as much as possible to have enough squad cost. Just about all my 7* are max BB since I've been saving my frogs specifically for this.
