    The Frontier Hunter EX is out. It's no joke. Seems each round is completely random, or at least rotates. I cleared the middle path, first try with no items or deaths. Then I tried the End path that you unlock after clearing middle, didn't clear battle 4 of 5. So went back to the middle path and the units are completely different than my previous entry and harder.

    Also there's the first jewel key too coming in about 15 min.

    Finally caught Stya. No luck with Selena still though. Really beginning to wonder if you can really catch starters in lvl 2 of those dungeons x.x


    Also how much is the bonus to water summons right now? I wanna use my gems but I don't really want extra chance of water..

    Edit: Nvm, got impatient and did it. Got a Loch. Yes!

    Fuck it, I give up on Zephu for now. Have to be over 0/30 on him (and thats 0/30 on the times he actually shows up, which is less than half of all attempts). Drop rate is fucking hideous for such a mediocre unit, I just want him cause hes a DRG Gave FH EX a try and wiped on Maxwell at 50%. Given the fact that I haven't even beaten him in the main story, I think I did alright. Might give a thunder totem quest a shot tomorrow since I have 2 units at max level that need 1 to evolve. Have most of my 4* team at max level, so hoping it's not too bad.

    Honor summon rates go up starting tomorrow. Hope I get lucky and get a few metal gods or kings. I already have 19 summons saved.

    Finally made some progress on my mono thunder team. Got a decently powered Loch, Zeln, and Eze. My other 2 are Lemia and Maria or Mimir for healer. Is it better for me to opt for the thunder element healer or is she not as good as Mimir?

    Not too much difference, but strictly speaking, Mimir has better healer stats IMO. Here are their 3-star stats:

    May
    3648 HP, 701 ATK, 957 DEF, 1126 REC

    Mimir
    3880 HP, 639 ATK, 1030 DEF, 1269 REC

    Maria
    3464 HP, 1034 ATK, 942 DEF, 1126 REC

    EDIT: If you're running two +50% leaders, then May effectively has 1400 ATK, in which case I'd go with her.

    Okay, thanks for the info.

    Also got a Lance and Mifune out of honor summons today. First time I've gotten anything not junk that wasn't metal or jewel.

    Also, oh my. I only just realized how good Frontier rewards are and that it doesn't run off energy anymore. Time to dive into this shit! Except it's so hard At least you get esteem points even with losing

    Attempted my first totem run and got the win I think some people were having trouble with it, so I'll write what I did to get past it. First off, it was a thunder totem, so I brought 3 earth units with me: World Tree, Lario, and Earth Knight something... whatever Demenic's leader is set as (thanks btw ). Everyone on the team was 4* and max level except 1 unit (Lario, was at around 50). I brought Cures, High Cures, Divine Light, Revive and Earth Seals. For the fight I basically just spammed the earth seals and used the cures/high cures whenever someone was getting low. Never had anyone guard, was just a full on blitz. Only had 1 unit die the whole run, but the totem was close enough to dying that I didn't use the revive. At the end I had used all my cures/high cures and half my earth seals. Never used revive and only used 1 Divine light. I didn't run into a light/dark totem, which I think is the reason I won. At this point I can't see you beating 2 totems in 1 run without having a full team of max level 5* units. Good luck to whoevers still stuck.

    Edit: Tried another run for a 2nd thunder totem and got another win. Same strat as before, though this one took longer and had a few more close calls due to using a random persons Pixie Royal guy. Gonna try for an Earth totem once my energy refills, though not sure how thats gonna go since my earth units are alot better than my fire units. Either way, Behemoth and Eze are going to 5* soon

    Uhh so my issue is that theres more than 1 totem fight >_< I beat the first one but ended up using most of my items. Now I need to survive the rest of the run, which I don't think is gonna happen.

    Also fail, first totem was Light when its Dark I need

    Edit: Whew, somehow won with 1 healing item left. All hail double healers. Wish the Light Totem had been Dark, it would've taken care of 2/3 of my immediate Totem needs. Oh well. I need to stock up on healing items before I can try again next week probably. But yay gonna get my first 5 star in Zeus Bow Loch when I can farm 1 more Thunder Idol on tuesday :D

    Any good spots to farming healing item mats? Namely I need blue grass and red drops for more high cures.

    From what I've read:
    St Lamia, Volcano Eldent - Watchdogs From Hell is a good one for Blue Grass. Orobos seem to the the target for those.
    Morgan, The Destroyed Cathedral - The Peculiar Black Knight is good for red drops. Minotaur and Fairies as the target.

    Also Friday dungeon Lv2 might be a good spot for both of those as well.

    I ended up doing Blue Grass in Sword of Lightning Speed in Shrine of Lystia. Orthos and Ramia both dropped them. Did do the one you suggested for Red drops.

    I have enough healing items ready again so gonna attempt another Lightning Totem later today.

    Double postang for my win.

    I didn't realize that every totem run didn't have 2 totems spawn. Since a second one didn't spawn I easily got my 2nd Thunder totem of the day. Only used half of my healing items. Spammed thunder seals on the totem fight. Ran double healers and my 3 star healer died early into the fight, but wont without any issues. The biggest problem was the damn thunderbird paralyzing everyone. Oh well, won't be needing any more thunder totems until I find more thunder units that can get 5 stars.

    Gave the Earth totem a shot and got a win. Fire units I used were pretty bleh, but spamming Fire seals/ores the whole fight did the trick. Barely used any curing items. Although I won on the 2nd try.... first try I ran into a Light totem and he basically wrecked my shit (could've killed it, but was gonna burn through all the items I needed for the earth totem fight). Still need a dark totem to finish off all the totems I need, but I'll give that a shot once I get the rest of my future 5* units leveled

    Yeah I wish dark and light totems had their own shrines. Gonna be harder to get my dark.

    Also, I used a rare summon during the increased water event and got a thunder unit. Waited till after water event was over because I didn't want more water and I got...a water unit..

    At least it's the brand new water gun chick.

    I'm basically set to make a mono water team now although I don't think I have all potential 5 stars. I have Mega, Zephu, Stya, Undine, and the new chick.

    So are actual summon rates up for the 3 new units (light, fire, water)? Or is it just the bonus for doing 10 rare summons that gets you one of the three?

    I don't think the rates of the actual units are up, but from finally deciding to buy a large pack of gems my summons were

    Bolt Pike Amy
    Genius Elimo
    Twins II & Mina
    Lancia
    God Blade Mifune
    Hawkeye Lario
    Two 3* Tree and Two Vampire(bleh)
    Twin Flash Rickel(woo)

    Then I got Twin gun Rickel as my free. Really wanted Aisha but the other great units I'm pretty happy with my draws.

    The three new units are definitely available via summon (got Aisha), but I don't think anybody's keeping track of their rates to say for sure if they're up or not.
