I wouldn't worry too much about it because you still have a fuckload of TMs to grind and you don't even have a Chizuru yet. You can use a Murasame on one Gilgamesh, and just eat the 10% atk loss to equip a sword on the other one. I assume you're nowhere near having either genji glove finished, and having a katana on Gilgamesh isn't that big a deal until he's dual wielding.

Noctis doesn't actually need a katana at all unless you have a third Chizuru TM because unlike Gilgamesh, his katana passive is worth the same amount of atk as his other weapons.

I've got one Chiz already, but yeah, it's not a big deal until I grind those TMs.

Not a lot of time to grind TMs either. I plan to farm the Maze hardcore over the next week. I have a lot of units that need leveled and Awakened. Then next week we are looking at a Christmas grind event. So my TM work is on hold. And I was making pretty good progress at around 2.5% a day for the last week. My TM team is all around the 30% mark.

I've got 45% in moogles saved up, and might just blow them on Zidane (~50%). That allows me finish up DW to get my gilgamesh to a decent state, so I can slot Gilg#2 into the TM grind team.

Summoned a few tickets this morning and pulled Noctis... if his wiki data is correct he seems rather OP (he has full life!). I feel like my account is pretty good at this point as I have;

Refia
Luneth
Gilgamesh
Elza
Noctis
Cecil

Slowly grinding out Zidane and Gilgamesh for DW. Thank god for TM macros.

Managed to get Noctis also...however I spent some $$ and a 18 summon tickets. Guess serves me right for having good luck on other banners and getting a Lightning on a daily pull.

Noctis is a beast. His kit is awesome for arena, I'm enjoying him so far. Got him to 100 cuz I saved cactuars.

Yeah multiple noctii are going to be a major pain in the ass on weeks where you can't burst them down with dual meteor spam.

Sure would be nice if those queer fuckers at Gumi would disable AoE abilities for just one week, but god forbid they ever do anything their whales might not like.

Debating dropping a 10+1 into Noctis banner, but my daily pull netted me Sazh #7 (5 from daily pulls during his banner, 2 from daily pulls since it ended). Not feeling lucky!

No, I actually just used them all. I got Noctis to 100, and then my 2nd Lightning Awakened. My current leveling group is Bartz/Chizuru/Lightning/Snow as 6* and I threw in a 4* Mercedes cuz I want to level her up to max.

I'm bad at maze navigation apparently. Only made it to the 2-way split twice, and both times I picked the wrong door. Most of my runs end after 2-3 doors too!

I used up my tickets on this banner (only had a few), and got some decent fluff pulls, but all blues. Charlotte (my first), Ludmille, Cecil (#7), Shadow, Duane.

I'm not too sure who to focus on for leveling next for my final dps team slot. Options are Chizuru, Mercedes, or Dark Cecil. Chizuru would be the best, but I have to give Gilgamesh my best katana, which means she would be stuck using Murasame, which isn't all that impressive. Mercedes is decent, but the best axe I have is golden axe (55 atk), so she would be subpar until I finished her TM, which would be a long ass time with all of the events we get. Dark Cecil (w/ barrage materia, fuck killing himself) using Gungir is probably my best option, since he would have the highest atk of them all, and it would be nice having him already leveled and ready for his enhancements later, which puts him to A+ status.

Or maybe I could just pull a Noctis tomorrow and make the decision easier.

So far the maze event seems pretty mehhhh. I dislike the RNG that makes you feel like it was something you did wrong that caused you to fail. The rewards seem decent but again, total RNG. Is it really worth going full bore on this event?

Maze is primarily used to level units and bank Giant Cactaurs. If your team is set than you don't really need to run it.

Based on other people's testing it seems that there is no RNG involved in the maze at all. You enter the maze and it has been pre-determined how far you will go. The only exception to this is sometimes a Moogle will be peeking out from on top or to the side of a door. In this case you always pi that door. But the Moogle is rare and if he doesn't show up than don't worry about picking the wrong door. The decision is purely theatrics and doesn't actually affect how far into the maze you go.

I'm wondering the same thing myself, and I'm not sure.

When you jackpot, the maze is absurdly good. like 100,000 xp worth of cactuars, a bunch of materials, and rare items like quartz/screamroot.

On the other hand, when you flop in the maze (which seems all too often this week, at least for myself) then you're only getting 35,000 xp from cactuars, and a few worthless 3* evo materials, which is worse ratio than exploration leveling (63,000 xp per 10 energy). The maze takes ~30 seconds compared to ~15 minutes per exploration though, so that's something to consider.

Do the rare 6+ door mazes make up for the very common 1-2 door fails? It's hard to say. One perk is that we're getting "free" 6* evo mats from some of the runs, but honestly, I'm not held back by 6* evo materials anymore and have a surplus from events.

Suppose the question is, are you willing to level through exploration grinding? If so, that's probably better. If you want an effortless, fast levelup source, farm the maze.

I'm planning on spending every scrap of energy on the event. The event is dropping sacred crystals this time (which it didn't last time), 6* mats, and you have a shot at star quartz when you make it to the end. The next star quartz vendor has an 82 atk light damage spear and a man-eater materia, for 100 and 200 quartz respectively, which we should get at the end of January. The one after that, which should be at the end of March, has auto-refresh, caster hat, and safety bit. I also haven't purchased any earrings yet, and once you have everything you want you can just save up for the 300 quartz moogles. Sitting on 216 quartz atm and I can't possibly have enough!

It's nice having all the extra mats for awakening dupes too. The thing holding me back from experimenting with dupe 6* units has been mats, so now I can easily awaken a 4th Exdeath, second Chizuru, second CoD, etc etc etc. I pulled a second Cecil so with all these extra 6* mats maybe I'll experiment with my ultimate troll arena team of 3 Refia/2 Cecil at some point too. The extra sacreds are nice for having 5* units ready to go when their 6* drops like a pair of Tiliths and my Garland.

Only problem with awakening multiple Chizuru is that I haven't finished any Miyuki TMs yet, so #1 is wielding a Murasame and #2 would only have the halloween knife (as far as pvp is concerned)

According to people smarter than I am, the way to go with 2x Chizuru is 2x Kazekiri, the 35 atk wind katana, for massive elemental chains.

Can't believe I haven't seen this thread yet. Been playing since September or October, F2P. My current team:
  • Exdeath 6*
  • Cloud of Darkness 6*
  • Noctis 5* (just pulled him, was using Ingus 5* before)
  • Kefka 5*
  • Refia 6*
I have yet to pull Cecil, so I'm looking to put Charlotte on my team somewhere. I also have Chizuru, Faris, and Ingus. Any recommendations for team comp? Currently constructing a team that can take down Antenolla.

Also I don't know how to set up macros for TM farming. I just pulled my first Zidane so it might be something to look into.

My ID is 108.631.820 if anyone wants to add me. I will gladly take randos off my friends list for some FoH peeps.
