For me it's a less awful grind than ca since you can get points over time and buy rewards, and the amount you play is limited by tickets. Ca is basically 3 weeks of fh with no limit on the amount you play.

Yeah, I guess the team setup is what kills me. I want to basically have spheres be "unlocked" so I can use a FH team with specific sphere setups and Coli team with specific spheres and an Arena team with specific spheres...

I'll probably switch my arena team to match my colessium team to avoid that issue. The only sphere I have to move is my skyharbinger for imp farming.

What's your setup for imp farming? With the new autobattle I'm tempted to try and setup a speed clear team.


Also, is there some sort of display bug to have all your SBBs/BBs fire off at the same time without the name-animation firing? I've had it happen a few times (most notably during raid farming).

Griff with a demon core and skyharbinger. No friend, no other teammates. Fujin and hit autobattle.

I can't program in "Fujin and then autobattle"

What type of run speed are you seeing? Can you 1 round artons?

Starting tommorow omni atro will be great for imp farming. With sacred crystal, phantom gizmo, an elgif that regens at least 3 BC per round, and the SP option to regen bc at the start of turn, atro gets bb every round automatically, even round 1 (without needing a fujin). Can get up to 34+ imp runs per key, depending on the loading speed of your device using auto-quest.

Now Atro takes a strong lead in my "first OE" poll!

Well if you want to get in 30+ runs with auto and no gems you'll need 240 stam and 90 open inventory slots.

I try to time my imp runs close to a levelup. I'll get to close to 12,000 xp away from lvl, then run imps at full energy. Each imp run is 1000 exp, and with my 180'ish energy bar, the last imp run will level me, refilling the bar. During half energy vortex, can do the same thing without having to sync with a levelup.

What I find the biggest headache with imp runs are the shitty blue imps. Random gonna be random, but I swear I get 2-4 blue imps to every red imp. I have multiple 7* units maxed on imps except reds just waiting till I get more.

Doesn't help that the largest pool of "uneven split stats" for imp cap is Attack followed by HP.

Finished farming all 6 starters. Went with anima atro, lance, magress, and breaker eze, vargas, selena. I got the starter type within 2-6 runs on everyone except atro. For atro's dungeon I had to refill energy with gems twice, as well as a levelup before finally getting anima. I was also going to farm for a breaker atro (didn't get that typing either yet) but as I think about it, the round 1 atro build for imp farming only really gets you a few extra runs per key. The resources to raise another unit from 2 star to omni, then raise their bb, imp them, etc... I figure it's not really even worth it. I'll just use my anima atro with a normal SP setup to imp farm. Getting ~25'ish runs per key with round 1 basic attack is good enough for me.

That's a waste, considering type can change as you evolve them. The starter's level cap is obscenely high, so it's not that big a deal (especially since atk is nearly the same on all of them except breaker).

Got my Waifu max SBB but haven't leveled yet. Also holy shit those are higher than I thought.

Working on Atro now.

Atro 150/UBB done... also I just realized it's ANY fodder is 'SPUP?' so I finally have something to do with the BUF type fodder.

Fodder for SP was bugged first day or so to be like 2% chance. It's fixed now to be the proper 20%, so raising SP is a lot easier.

Now that omni's are out, what kind of party is everyone running for standard farming, raid5, etc? I'm using a mono-light team with atro lead:

(L) Atro
Allanon
Charla
Gazia
Lilith
(F) Lucius (or whatever for quest mode)

Covers every single buff / conversion / element while taking advantage of atro's doublebuff leaderskill for all light units. I keep trying to make a team with multiple omni units, but it's really damn hard to get every buff covered without relying on the friend slot. I prefer to cover every buff with my core 5 so that on quest or vortex stuff I'm not boned by the random availability of the friend list.
