    Kinda hard to evolve your units when the evolution materials destroy them when they're maxed in their current form.
    IMO it's built that way a bit intentionally to make you spend gems.

    Simply fuse with any unit of the same BB type: attack, heal or support.

    BB level resets when evolving so it's near pointless to do it before their final form. In the three I've done so far it was around 1/30 for a single level up... so 300 fuses to get to rank 10. It is significantly less expensive to start at level 1 but it also holds you up for quite some time in doing anything else until that's out of the way.

    Don't question it. Just pew-pew with them.

    I still haven't got my rewards. I want my metal god dammit....and I guess Levi.

    Edit: Just looked at their facebook and read one of their replies to a person who also got 2 Larios. They said they had to run the reward script twice b/c it did not hit all the users in that phase the first time. Enjoy your two Larios!

    Also, holy hell at the damage jump at Tower of Light in Cordelica. It's insane, I have a defensive team and I got absolutely wrecked by normal mobs on like the 5th or 6th battle. It's tons higher than any St. Lamia battle that I can remember. Guess I'll have to spend my time doing Metal Parades to level up my team a bit even though I thought I was doing well with them all being in high 30s in their 4-5 star forms.

    I'm thinking of offering you guys an honor points hack. Gumi might be cracking down soon but there is a way to absolve one side of the responsibility.

    The vortex event to get Alma starts in about 2 hours, and I think it's possible to get Atro also.

    In the same event?

    Also I keep hearing things about Atro. What's so good about her?

    On all these special element vortexes, you have a small chance to catch the starter units of that element if they show up in the fourth round of Lv2. I do not know if you can catch them from any other level of difficulty. It's the only way to get them after you start other than getting lucky with honor summons.

    Edit: You can also catch them from Lv3 as well from what I just read on a forum. So Lv2 or 3 if you're wanting the starter unit chance too. They do not always spawn for you though. They alternate with one other unit. In the case of the Nemia event, Lance alternated with one of the healer trees (I don't think you can catch it). In this event, I think Atro alternates with a wyvern.

    FINALLY built up my team to the point where I can clear the level 3 evolution unit dungeon and collect idols. It takes all my cure items to do it, but it gets done. With that being said... would I be able to clear the totem dungeons? Couple of units are getting close to needing totems to evolve.

    I'd give that a big no.

    I can farm Idols easily, but Totems destroy my team. It actually got to the point I'm discouraged from playing.

    Are you guys keeping your teams evenly leveled? Do you guys have low defensive units mainly, like Mifune?

    I've done two totems so far, earth and fire. Earth wasn't bad with my mainly mono-earth team, but I did do fire with my mono-earth team and that was hell with the elemental weakness. It took forever and used up all my healing items, but I got it done which allowed me to evolve my Phoenix. I think it helped that a few of my units have above or close to 1k defense. Also I should note that I did not run into any light/dark totems in those two runs, so that may have been in my favor. It's basically a survivability fight overall. If you think you can go in there with 5 masamune spheres on 5 god mifunes and come out unscathed like in some other fights, you're in for a rude awakening. I personally use 3 healers for my mono-earth team: Tree, Phoenix, and Queen Lidith. Though all three of them count as nice damage when I don't have to use their BBs.

    A tactic I've seen people mention on forums is to use Gilded Pearl spheres on all units. It'll boost their defense and recovery (some people say it doubles healing and halves damage) when their hp is under 50%. Try using seals if you're running a mono team. Make sure you're guarding on your healers to keep them alive if they don't have high hp/def. Bring the full BB gauge item for that emergency heal. Got a friend with an evolved Aem unit? Try to bring them, the higher evolved the better as Aem boosts your BB gauge each round, with higher evos boosting it more. Also, do you have any units that can cause injury on attack or BB? That will severely hinder totem attacks for a round or two if you can manage to get it to stick on them. Just trying to lay out some ideas to help you all out.

    I understand what Toki's saying. Seems the devs wanted walls in place to make people think they need to buy gems to proceed. I'm personally discouraged from playing much due to yet another huge difficulty jump at the start of Tower of Light that I mentioned a few days ago. I wouldn't have minded it if it were gradual, but you go into the first battle and get wrecked after wiping the floor with the rest of the map. It doesn't make sense.

    I understand that I can't take down totems now (since I can barely handle idols), but if you've got a squad of max-level 4 star units that need totems to evolve... and STILL getting flattened by totems, the game devs are definitely doing something wrong. I'm assuming they're making them that hard to force people into spending gems to revive their teams, but theres no way in hell you should have to spend real money just to clear a battle. Might as well just charge 1 gem per totem and get it over with.

    Also, is there some sort of special trick to leveling your BB? I read that you need to fuse any units that have the same type of BB together to raise the BB level. I've been fusing mostly lower-level crappy units with damage dealing BBs (mostly goblins and the elemental slimes) with my own higher level units (in this case God arm Galant and King Behemoth), but both of their BBs are still at level one after maybe 20 fusions each.

    In response to both of the above.

    My team is max leveled:
    Black Magress
    Loch Ness
    Hell King Hades
    God Blade Mifune
    and a 30/40 Titania

    I've tried running it with both Scythe Alice (or w/e the max one is) and a second healer (Phoenix, Lava Phoenix, and two of the Trees) as helpers and got destroyed each time. I keep Dark Seals and Ores on me as well as Cures, High Cures, and Ares' Flutes. The damage dealt is too much to keep up with from the healing BBs and I run out of Cures and High Cures even with Seals. Incredibly frustrating.

    I've also had the pleasure of fighting the Light Totem 3 times out of 5 times with a mostly Dark team.

    Do you have anything that could replace your Mifune? His attack is awesome, but he's probably hurting you more than helping with his low defense. Probably eating away at your potions too. Your top 3 units I think are great and are probably what I'd use, especially if they're maxed. If you're not wanting to buy gems to risk getting a Phoenix/Tree, it might be an alright idea to try to get an Angel Maria. She's farmable and easy to evolve. She'll have higher defense than your Titania or you could use them both and just keep them in guard the entire time they're not using their BBs to cut down on the healing needed.

    Also, don't forget about divine lights. They aoe cure and you can carry up to 3 at a time. I think they're the equivalent to high cures in terms of potency or very close.
