Just to let you know in case you didn't, you get a great elgif as a reward for crafting at least one of every rank 6 raid sphere. The elgif is +20% to all stats and +50% bb damage. Definitely worth making all the r6 spheres for that elgif.

Yeah, definitely hoping to pick up a few more spark and stat elgifs.

Btw guys, Felice and Deer's spheres are fucked atm for the noble purpose of FH experimentation.

Oh very nice. I had just seen a +20% All Stats +BB Damage Elgif on a character on my friends list yesterday, and it was blowing my mind a little, didn't have any idea where it came from. I'm pretty sure there are two RC6 bosses I haven't even seen yet - hopefully they'll come up in the rotation next week or so. 8 total, yes?

Considering that I don't actually have either the character or the elgif yet, I might save that elgif aside for Ark .... The creme de la creme of Elgifs on the creme de la creme of Units



Off Topic: I finally got RC5/M10 decoded again. 3 Bosses each with their own pain-in-the-ass special needs. I seem to be getting Silpas' Roots, Esoterit's Wings and Arkem's Thunder to die before their main body (Or at least same-turn at worst, so I'm crossing my fingers and taking it)....still need parts from all 3 bosses for various RC6 sphere crafting. ....They aren't giving me what I need yet, but I'm not in a huge rush as I'm starving for Honor Items....I would always keep 2 full stacks of all Honor items on hand at all times, but since I've been doing RC6 sphere crafting, I'm f'n out of everything. I'd estimate 75% of my friends list at least are daily gifters, but I'd need 3x that not to be out at all times anymore heh.

Zelnite Omni data:
Brave Frontier - Units Guide by Brave Frontier PROs
Rize Omni data:
Brave Frontier - Units Guide by Brave Frontier PROs


Zelnite is taking being a Normal Hitcount specialist to a whole new level..... Oh, and his SP options will make you want two of him. Not sure I've ever seen a single SP skill that cost 100 SP all by itself, but he has it....and it's something everyone will want around....

Rize...is....Rize. Crazy damage, Support buffs that get overshadowed by her damage so badly nobody will notice she has them... SP geared to making her whip even more ass.

Can anyone decipher this part of her SBB? "900% Thunder (TGT) / Thunder (AOE) 200%-900% BB ATK% Based on HP LEFT" Is that actually a Single Target Nuke AND an AoE nuke mashed together? If that is true....oh lawd, if that is true....I'll need another towel :(




Edit: As it stands, I'm 99.9% sure that Zelnite is going to replace Kulyuk in my groups where Kulyuk was a Sub. (Kulyuk will still keep his position as a nice defensive leader for me when needed.) ....I used to love to abuse Zenia's +HItcount UBB....Going to love to see what Zelnite's +Hitcount UBB is capable of.....it looks absolutely grotesque.

Colloseum is the most cancer addition this game has ever seen. I kid you not when I say that 95% or more of my matches are against a motherfucking juno-seto leader, and 2-4 azurai are on over half of the teams too. I mean, juno was a limited edition very low droprate unit, how does EVERY SINGLE TEAM HAVE HER AS A LEADER???

Ugh.... just lost like 5 matches in a row (at 10 tickets per loss) because every single time, half of the team lives at 1 hp angel idol, even when most of the shitty units like mifune have no business proccing angel idols. Yes, I'm salty.

/rant off

THIS.

You have my sympathies for the god-awful luck. ...Myself, I looked down no less than twice just today to see Mifune's sitting at 1 HP for no good goddamn reason. Either entire teams are made up of angel idol units or Juno Seto does it for them.

IMO they'd be doing everybody a favor if they matched you up against opponents running the same number of Angel Idols +/- 1. And Juno Seto leads count as a full group of the goddamn things. Seriously.

Seriously.




I'm doing something that I admit makes zero logical sense whatsoever, but it seems to hurt less... I no longer spend 10 tickets at a time....Every day I take time to spend tickets at 2-5 per pop until I get down to 80 tickets on hand. Over the long-term I know it will all average out and it won't/shouldn't make any real difference in the long-term results....but in the short term, I'm finished with the agony of flushing 10 tickets at a time to bullshit mechanics and group compositions.

The only Colosseum scenario I actually kinda like is when you get the "No Brave Bursts" rule and you are not facing a bullshit clown-car army of Mifunes. A strait-up street brawl where they go 12 rounds Rocky 4 style is good stuff :p and for some reason, my units are good in a fistfight, I always seem to win the "No Brave Burst" matches no matter how many Angel Idols are on the other side (dunno why).

I am on an epic fail streak in the Elgif dungeon.... 0 for the last 11......3 for the last 20. Ugh.

Personal worst - it needs to end. It has been a bad day overall.

Came in wanting better elgifs for zenia and Elza, and ideally +1 hit for a mifune

Came out with:
20% all to anima, oracle and 2x genderless. All pretty fucking useless for me.

Got thiefs warning 4 for my farming zelnite and 10 bc when dmg exceeds 5k for Selena. 2 gems used.

Meh results.

I'd still love a +1 Hit for Mifune, but no trace of one yet (not for lack of trying, that's for damn sure).

Your 2x +20% Genderless might be collecting dust for a while, but the Anima/Oracle are bound to get use sooner or later, only a matter of time.

I got a +20% Breaker a couple hours ago that finally gives me enough to deck out my core group I think - although Krantz will/may probably have to use a +30% HP/DEF instead of a +20% All to make things work.

I've gotten several I can't really use too, but I was hoping for a few stashed for the future anyway. I have a +20% Dark that will be collecting dust until Zenia arrives, but damn glad she's got one on reserve lol Zelnite will have a +20% Earth too I think. As for the Rize Twins....I will probably see about giving them +Spark Elgifs or some damage thing or other that doesn't have shit to do with +ATK (apparently she reaches the damage cap if she so much as sneezes). My Dream of Dual-Rizing FH/FG is dead unless I can pull an Allannon out of my ass by accident :p Still looking forward to see what she is capable of.

6 more hours and I feel rushed lol, watch them extend it by a day or two because folks were gemming it :p

Late last night I was on another god-awful stretch of bad luck...

Finally a regular Elgif boss drops the Mega-Rare prismatic sparkly thing for a unit capture...

"Please be +Stats....Please be +Stats....Please be +Stats!" I was chanting in my head...

...wait for it.....waaaait for it....aaaand....


"+50% REC"


"....."


"....."


"....sigh......RNGesus, quit being a smartass...." :(

I don't mean to spam our own thread, but I just got an interesting, albiet extremely niche, elgif that I hadn't seen before....

"Epidemic Tragedy Lv. 5" (5-star elgif) +120% Damage boost vs Status Inflicted foes.


....whoa, 120% lol.....It will collect dust until an Omni-Tier Status Infliction specialist shows themselves, but my gods that really seems like it could be a good one.

No gems burned for energy yet... but I've been fucked on this thing. I'm able to clear it, but died once to Grah because I said yolo instead of reading what to do.

Speaking of which, I've gotten 1 of each of the non elgifs :|


Here's my elgif takes so far:
20% all stat to anima
20%
Epidemic Tragedy 5 (enormous dmg boost against status afflicted)
40% def
Glorious Life 2 (boost Atk/Def/Rec relative to how high HP is)

Also a few burst emps, and arton, and an emgif.

edit: Hah I was thinking of tossing mine on Ensa with her using Vorpal. Should shitstomp then I hope.

Burned a gem, got two more...

20% all stats to light element
Demonic Life 3 - Greatly Boosts Atk/Def/Rec when HP is under 50%

I should level off of one more run, and should have stamina regen for it in ~20 minutes.

Nothing better than a another +20% All Stats elgif for the road lol

So I've been doing mid-farming guard frontier... holy shit is this insane. I'm averaging 90m Esteem with a high of 128m Esteem, which is 1.8m frontier service points per run. It's boring as shit but I'm currently in the 3k rank area...

So I may have over-farmed the elgifs just a tad.....I counted (including the pittance I already had) ....168 total Elgifs in my inventory this morning....


And here is the best part.....it seems harder to get rid of the damn things than it was to get them.... I imagined myself grinding 100+ of them into Merit points pretty quickly, but that isn't happening.

Pretty much all the +Stat Elgifs (exception: REC only) will find a home somewhere or await their turn.... +Spark Damage Elgifs have real value.....+Crit Damage not as much, but still definitely not trash......some of the +BC fill are interesting enough not to throw away (yet anyway, I'll get more picky as I thin this mess out)

The list of things I'm throwing away so far is shorter.... Most of the stuff that depends on HP or BB being high/low to work I'm getting rid of....(Exception: Demigod Balance).....Boosts Elemental Damage seems like a bad deal, so getting rid of those.... "BB boost when attacking normally" is going in the trash.... Stuff with either limited utility or with obnoxious qualifications before they even work....

Still sorting through them.

I sold a bunch of mine, and fused all of the rest onto random units mostly as a storage mechanic. If I ever really need that +100% crit damage elgif or whatever, I can emgif it off my 5* unit, but at least now I only have a few top tier elgifs clogging my inventory, and the other 40 or so are saved on my 5-6* units.

Aye, I'm going to do something similar, I'm just not there yet. I haven't fused a single elgif yet.....RL calling too, so I might not get much time with the game for the rest of the day.

Does anyone know off-hand what the rules are regarding elgifs on 5-star units for the Summoners Arc? I thought I heard they don't work - but if that is even true, does it keep you from using the unit altogether?

I don't know for sure, but it'd make the most sense if they were just deactivated in Summoner Arc in a way analogous to spheres in Challenge Arena.

Ditto on the RL (and hence my continued silence). RL keeping me busy this week.
