I'm assuming there's no reason to level up Zebra's BB? About to have him maxed out at 5*, and everything I've read said he's basically just there for the LS.

I need something I can dump stamina in while I chain-run 4Pillars...

Last couple of days was great because you could dump in the karma or zel vortex. Now get any evo mats you need. Going to be kind of glad when the 1/2 cost expires. I've gone from 52 to 86 so far. Shooting for 109 as my goal.

One week in. I saw a red graphic this morning as the last unit after an auto-run and got momentarily excited. Nope, trolled by a bat mimic.

I'm about to hit 90 and am worn out of running 4Pillars, additionally I want to murder the person responsible for the Item screen and constantly having to go back to it to clean out all the drops. 4-5 clicks to sell a stack is infuriating.

Honestly, I'd just move on with regular questing for xp if you can handle the zones. There's quite a few ones who have 1.5x xp aswell, so while the energy/xp ratio might not be as perfect as it is in Pillars, you still make plenty of zel/karma/xp and open up zones where useful materials drop.

Most importantly, you won't lose your god damn mind running a 5 energy zone over and over again.

I've been running A Formidable Presence and it's much more tolerable. Getting 6k exp for 16 energy.

I'm also 103 now, and my healer team can fit 6*'s (Uda, Lilith, Lunaris, Lancia, Luther). I'll need a few more (110 maybe?) to fit all 6*'s in my damage team. At this point though, I don't really care about gaining more levels.

Yeah I cleared through Amdahl the other day for a change of pace, may go back to more story stuff.

Even though Zebra is there mainly for his Leader Status ~ Leveling up his BB is still a benefit to you. I only have a couple units where their Brave Burst or Super Brave Burst isnt maxxed out. I get annoyed when it takes more than 30-50 units to level up just one BB level - but Im still at the point I havent ran into it costing me over 100 bb fuses to do one level like Ive seen some people exaggerate about. That, or spam fusing level 1 slimes from BB farming dungeons isnt as great as people think it is. (Which Ive read that as well.)

I second the talk about going through the rest of the dungeons for exp. If anything, the free Gem is more than enough to continue in my opinion. Besides, energy is 1 per 3 minutes. Running Pillars is optimum only from an EXP stand point and thats it. Besides, once you're like level 105-106, it really doesnt matter anymore. They'll have to release more 28+ cost units and by then your level should be higher by then based off of just running random dungeons. Lizeria I had to mindfully remember to look at my phone every now and then, just as a heads up. Lugia has some pretty gay ass BB's for example and reminds me of a World of Warcraft fight. (IE. You have to pay attention more from that "World" onward.)

I wish I had counted them up, but I know I spent well over 100 units on Luther just for a single BB level. All told to get from 6-9 BB was in the 300+ units range. Most of them were from running the higher level quest zones, too (not slimes). Even taking his SBB from 1 to 2 took a good 40 units.

My Luther is at lvl 81 so I havent even attempted to level his BB's yet. He may be harder than what Ive had to deal with so far? Or either Im really lucky and you're really unlucky. (or something like that lol)

Dilma 100 SBB
Dia 100 SBB
Signas 100 SBB
Grybe 100 SBB

Working on getting my Aisha to SBB next and maxing my Darvanshel's BB too I think, although he has no 6* yet. Just not sure I want to invest in Sefias or Bordebegia?

All luck I think, Luther maxxed pretty fast for me. On the other hand, every single support unit during the rate ups went to lilly matah and still only got her to 9/10.

I'm not sure what kind of team to bring for the trial.

Thinking:
Uda (lead)
Lilith (boss killer)
Lunaris (status null)
Zephyr (def ignore)
Lancia (heals)
Michelle (friend)

Also no clue about what items to bring.

Edit: No Michelle friend, so I took another Uda. Used a lot of items, but got through trial #1 ok.

Took my crit team to Vargas dungeon lvl 3, 1 gemmed it and got my Dandelga. Feels kinda cheap, but if you got it, why not use it? I want to try out a Fire squad for Lance dungeon, but I feel like I will die becuase I don't have a Darvelshel (or any +def units).
