Well with Balthier being cut for Zargatrash, we aren't getting a good capper until FV and he's on a split banner. Doesn't make much difference to you I'm sure.

Hes just a TMR unit to me.
I just finished Deathbringer recently. Already got some use out of it for Maxwell. I have been lapis refresh TMR farming a bit lately since we get free daily summons. Nice to see progress being made on my backlog. I think i am going to prioritize gearing Reberta next. She is going to be great for the next event. WTB spear mastery materia.

I'm sitting on a bunch of trust moogles for the next "must have" TMR. I'm considering dumping some into Reberta to get her Crimson Blood spear. I'm still kicking myself for selling those moogles instead of just buying more unit slots...

Made a slot, try re-sending the friend invite.

I have like 350% of moogles banked right now, but there hasn't been a "need it right now!" TM for me since the players choice banner with Zidane. Enough for 100% of them are in reserve for Onion Knight, but the rest I'll probably use if I hit a wall on a trial boss.

I do use the occasional 1% and 5% moogles to finish off a TMR I have been farming, but usually when I know they will hit 100% while I'm sleeping or at work. I hate wasting time/NRG in the farm group for maxed units. Also, it seems like that last 1% takes the longest to complete sometimes.

Edit:
Just saw this and thought it was a fun idea for an OTK/chain finisher. Granted, it requires a very specific party setup, but pretty insane that you can get that much damage out of him.

Any good YouTubers you guys recommend watching btw?

Is it worth trying the Gilgamesh trial before having all my guys max leveled?

I did beat a few thanks to some of you op guys

I usually post a youtube video of new trial or ELT bosses, but I have a year's worth of TM rewards, so my video's aren't really aimed at new players. Claic Yuzolt on youtube usually puts out a "F2P" guide for bosses, using 0 or 1 TM, with no 5* base units (except the friend slot). He's worth checking out.

Gilgamesh trial requires some really specific setup (you have to seal a bunch of elements every round or he does some strong counter-attacks). It can be totally cheesed by a 100% evasion unit wielding a holy weapon and safety bit if you want to try to find a friend to setup a unit like that for you (I don't have enough evasion TM's to provide the unit needed to cheat the trial). I would recommend you instead hold off and beat it legit with your own units once you've progressed to that point, since if you're not playing to beat the trials the real way, why play the game at all, but to each their own.

I think Gilgamesh is the last trial that can be carried though (Maybe Echidna?). The devs got wise to evasion cheese and made future trial bosses ignore evasion.

I wouldn't even Enhance Firion if I was F2P. Unit is too fucking stupid looking.

Forgot about Elza TBH. I was debating Enhancing her as she is cheaper then Enhancing Delita. I still haven't done either of them. Want to see the next Enhance batch as OTK is primarily just for Raids.
With my current run of bad luck on pulls, I don't think I have any choice but to level and enhance Firion. Hoping I get lucky on of these free daily pulls, but not holding my breath.

Just did 1 ticket pull for shits and giggles. Rainbow Trance Terra. Another mage. Once I get some cactuars, guess I'll level either her or Dark Fina or sea breeze Fina. Which is the best of the 3? Going to replace Amelia and Chiz with Firion and one of these mages.

Right now Dark Fina is probably best, especially for arena. After her enhancements, Trance Terra is much better than the rest.

Early warning that Trance Terra requires epic amounts of black enhancement materials to fully enhance her (30x T4, 11x T5, and a ton of T1-3).

Thanks. Are TT enhancements available now? I'm more focused on pve vs arena right now.

Not yet, and they're still at a minimum two months away, but probably more because Gumi loves to delay anything powerful from JP, and TT's enhancements shoot her to top mage by a long shot, at least until she's power creeped by even crazier mages down the road.

Guess ill just start building up TT and farming for enhancements. With my luck, I'll actually pull something better and waste the time I've put in. Gotta do something other than running chiz and Amelia out there. I feel good about the rest of my team, but those 2 are just well below par.

Gumi loves to delay anything powerful from JP

Why do people keep saying this? Gumi introduced enhancements months ahead of when they came out on JP and GL has only just reached about the same spot as where JP enhancements first came out. Ramza's enhancements were a huge mistake, and it was an even bigger mistake for them to be in the first enhancement batch on JP, so it would have been even dumber to have released Ramza's enhancements early on GL. WoL was presumably delayed because they didn't want to tack two new unrelated 6* upgrades on to Eileen's event and the anniversary was the first chance they had to roll him and Garland out.

The only truly significant delay Gumi has made was Orlandu, and with good reason because Orlandu permanently redefined the entire metagame. People should be grateful that they just delayed him instead of nerfing him.

Delaying WoL for like 5-6 months, and Orlandeau for 3-4 months are the primary things that make people say that. Ramza and DKC's enhancements too, but sure the argument can be made that enhancements as a whole were early on global. There's no reason DKC's enhancements have been delayed so long though. They're not overpowered, and it takes an otherwise completely useless 5* base to at least worth putting on some teams.

The typical estimate is global's about 6 months behind JP. Well, DKC's enhancements came out 9 months ago, and they're still not here (Ramza was 10 months ago). Other useful enhancements like Gilgamesh and Luneth are also 8+ months ago, and still not here.

Is global suffering from the lack of these strong upgrades? Not at all, but that doesn't change the fact that they have in fact been seriously delayed.
