    As I just started I'm assuming I'm too weak to get stuff from the vortex?

    You would probably be able to run the earth one in the next few days if you can get through some of the first areas and build a decent team. The Vortex battles aren't that difficult until you get to the boss (ie the unit featured). I would not suggest taking your Thunder lead to the Earth event, though.

    Are all ghosts exp fodder? They have no Brave Burst or levels to do.

    All Metal-named units are for XP (God, King, Ghost). All Jewel-named units are just to sell for money (again, God, King, Ghost). And you can probably beat the Vortex levels once your team is around 25ish I'd say. However, they work on a drop-type system (meaning you're going to be farming those areas until the boss unit drops, especially level 1). You can probably reliably farm the area when you're in the 30s, just try to get yourself a healer or you're gonna burn through potions pretty fast. The forest-type Vortex stage is probably the easiest one yet since the boss has shitty defense.

    I swear they super nerfed the honor summoning for metal units. I have not gotten a single super rare so far out of 22 summons, whereas before, I got super rares 3 times in a row sometimes. I don't even get rares that often either, twice so far. Maybe just bad luck.

    On a happier note, I just got my thief's bracer so if anyone wants to farm some synthesis and sphere items feel free to add me. Now gonna go try that new battle.

    Someone needs to update OP with all the new codes. Also, what is the point of these events other then metal key ones? Am I supposed to grind them for units that I'm not lucky enough to get? Lol

    If I understand correctly. It keeps your high score for the duration of the event, then based on that high score at the end of the event you'll get your rewards. (And maybe it then keeps a ranking based on performance? Can't remember.)

    Cleared level 16 of the challenge. Over 400k zel, 2 metal gods, 1 metal king, 2 gens, and a lot of spheres.

    I haven't had a chance to try again, but I think these bonuses are one time only.

    Any tips on where I can farm to get better level of summons? After the first few levels it seems to slow down a lot when I only get level 1-3 monsters to feed them D:

    Edit: I figured out metal parade for xp. Yeah leveling over and over from each run and refilling energy lol

    Also what do I do with a mimic?

    Given the metal gods and gems, I bet you are right. Maybe it will reset when the event restarts (2 weeks?).

    I cleared 16 and eeked out the #1 spot among BG folks. Would love to hit the next rank to grab a Murasmasa if I can.

    To add to my question, do I only get honor from summoning a friend once? None of them seem to list Honor anymore when I see them.

    You get 10 honor from using a friend, 5 honor from using a random player. Theres a cooldown on how often you can use a friend, but not sure exactly how long that is. Think it's somewhere in the 12 hour range.

    On another note, made it to stage 9 of the frontier thing. Burned through almost all my items on stage 7, then got flattened in 3 turns on stage 9.

    Mimics are sometimes used to evolve units. However there's a weekly Wednesday Mimic vortex that you can get them from. Personally, I used them as EXP fodder, and still do actually, until I actually need them to evolve.

    Sometimes you can get 40 honor for friend summons, but idk what the trigger is.

    Any one use a high elf? I just got one from gem summon, don't know if def and rec up for 3 turns is worth it for the summon.

    Honor point rewards are increased due to an event. Normally it's 10 per friend unit, but now it's 40 for a few days. They post their events on the Facebook page.

    40 honor is only when they have honor events going on, which seemed to be tied to rate increases for jewel and metal drops from honor summon.
