    Been spamming raid X1 trying to get this ruby to drop so I can evolve Grandt. So far no luck. Drop rate for this thing sucks.

    I have almost 60 gems right now, but I'm holding off until a good summon event comes around, hence why I'm asking about a squad, with current units listed. This will let me use my current crystal stock to free up inventory to either summon or stock up on some evo mats, during the current event.
    For general questing; this assumes the units being 6* (7* if applicable), and at least having Super Brave Burst Unlock, but better max level.

    Lario lead (generates BC)
    Eliza (attack and crit boost)
    Zele (spark boost)
    Selena (DD and Healer if 7*)
    Mifune (Glass Cannon)

    Of course this set up wont give you any status protection, so try to use friend's whom have leaders with the status null lead skill. But really, with the quests, the fights shouldn't last more than one or two turns each, after the first one. Gather BCs, everyone fires off BB/SBB, everything dies, move to next stage. Rinse and Repeat. Still focus on getting Sola and Madia leveled as well. There's a monthly event, Frontier Hunter, that they will help out tremendously.

    Lario Lead
    Sola
    Madia
    Mitigator
    Status Cleanser
    Raaga/Rosetta/Zenia friend

    is one of the used party setups for FH. Oh, and here's a helpful guide for leveling your unit's BB/SBB with locations to farm fodder.

    Another thing, if no one has told you, or you didn't find out yourself. "Favorite" all of your units. Unit > View Units > Click a unit and favorite it. It'll have a star by it's name and will not show up in the sell or fuse menu. That way you can't lose them!

    It'll be at least another two months before we see the 3 Gem Gate and 5 Gem God Gate event. 3 Gems was for any unit, 5 Gems was for only units with 7* form.

    IIRC, it was discovered that Gumi actually LOWERED the rate of Crystal appearances in Super Metal Parade once Mega Metal Parade was released. Best way, as Dimmauk said is to use the keys before you're about to level so that way you get an energy refill and can keep entering the dungeon.

    It costs 15 energy per run, so determine how many runs you can do in a full energy bar, then get your XP to level less than 1000 * max number of runs. Leveling will refill your energy and double your number of runs.

    Do the Melion/Reduhark fight under RC4. Whenever I'm doing that to farm Queen Jewels and Dark Jewels I end up getting like 10 rubies and emeralds (for Elaina) before I get a jewel lol.

    Hey look at that. Starting tomorrow a discount summoning event. 4+1 and all summons will be at least 5* (level 80).

    Personally, I would still wait but that's because I don't need anything right now and I have about 10 maxed out Bestie friends.



    Event Period:
    July 25, 07:00 PST - August 8, 05:59 PST
    (July 25, 08:00 PDT - August 8, 06:59 PDT)


    Super Rare Summon Plus (Minimum of 5-stars and higher chance to get 6-stars) and a bonus unit from Claire's batch onwards for every 4 summons will start on August 6, 07:00 PST until August 8, 05:59 PST.

    Summon Ticket Bundle that we released last July, will be reopened for players who haven't availed it from August 5, 07:00 PST until August 8, 05:59 PST.

    Notes:
    Summon count (starting July 24, 07:00 PST) will reset at the end of the current Super Rare Summon event, please ensure that you get your 5th summon bonus before August 6, 05:59 PST.

    Super Rare Summon Plus count will start on August 6, 07:00 PST.

    Bonus unit will be sent via Presents Box.
    Global Exclusive units such as Grandt, Elaina, Deimos and Zenia are included on the bonus unit pool.

    Finally did Grah's Grand Quest. First one I have 100%. Not so bad with a guide like this.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/bravefronti...est_100_guide/

    Hopefully find similar ones for the others.


    Which Grand Quests are the most important to do first after Grah?

    If for some reason you lack a healer and status cleanser she's good. Otherwise not really. I have a 5* one that I got and still haven't leveled it at all.

    Reddit's pulldown menu has a list of all the GQ step by step guides.

    Off the top of my head, GQ2 is a good one to 100%, Queen's Tear is a 5 BC/turn sphere (like Evil Shard). Lin's GQ gives a decent sphere also and you can 100% it on one run. Paris and Lugina GQ gives good spheres as well for 100% completion.

    Orz....

    I thought using 3 Metal Keys would open up a Super Metal Dungeon, where I could pick the element I wanted, and go grab specific exp, but it's just one level, with all elemental types in there. That makes leveling a pretty huge pita, since them keys are the only way to really get EXP, and it takes a week to get the best zone, unless you spend achievement points.

    I suppose the Super Honor Summon events are the time to get a lot of leveling in, since I recall getting a bunch of Gods/Crystals just from ~30ish pulls. Regardless, Selena, Lario, and Madia will be 5* max leveled, and possibly Zele, if I burned everything I had. My Unit space will be quite happy.....

    Yeah, sadly the only one where you can pick an element is the regular metal parade. Once you got a higher summoner level and more energy, SMP will be better to level your units even if you don't take advantage of the same element bonus.

    You don't get to pick but the overall amount of exp mobs you get is way higher in super and mega parades. I don't run element specific parades anymore unless it's dark so I can get some stuff to evolve metal mimics.

    PS. Pachiko today once Super Rare Summon Plus event starts it will probably be a good time for you to do a few summons and get better units. Every summon will be minimum 5 stars and every 5 summons you will get a bonus 6th one that is from Claire batch onwards, meaning one of the newer units that can be made 7 stars.

    Sucker. There's nothing that I "need" to have except maybe Bestie, but I got about 10 Bestie friends on my list.

    Having the maxed-Mifune/Kikuri party setup definitely made capping my units easier since I was able to get 46+ runs every key.

    So far, I have these units capped. (as of 8/15/15)
    7*
    Claire
    Ultor
    Selena
    Elimo
    Colt
    Tridon
    Edea
    Quaid
    Griel
    Kira
    Raaga
    Kikuri
    Aaron
    Reis
    Zenia

    6*
    Zelnite
    Rosetta
    Andaria
    Exvehl
    Sola
    Maxwell
    Aurelia
    Mifune
    Grah
    Madia

    Sefia is 7 attack imps short of being capped. Deimos needs 3 each (or an Arton). Will and Nemethgear have zero imps as well.

    I need to imp Michele and Melchio as well come the next half energy vortex event. So. Much. To. Imp.

    I don't 'need' anything either. I just figured I'd try for the bonus units. Fail all around. Saving the rest of my gems.

    Whats the Mifune setup for fast imp runs again?

    Breaker Mifune with either Urias and Heresy Orb, or Blighted Seal and Heresy Orb depending on how many attack imps you put on him
    7* Kikuri with Lexida + Virtue Stone or Sol Creator/Celgrad Gem
    Any friend

    1st fight - Fujin Mifune. Attack Kikuri, attack friend, SBB Mifune
    2nd fight - Attack Kikuri, attack friend, SBB Mifune
    3rd fight - SBB Mifune

    Urias+Heresy Orb is safer to guarantee SBB filled, but requires more Imps to get over the defense threshold of the Metal Gods. Blighted Seal + Heresy Orb requires less attack imps but there's the chance you might not fill Mifune's SBB.

    Average run time, with a good internet connection, is like 75 seconds. Might be even shorter because I Heard Gumi finally got rid of that stupid "WARNING" Banner on that third fight to shorten the time up.

    To make the most of the runs max sure you clear out unit space so you don't have to interupt your runs and fuse imps to make more space. I Can get about 24 runs in with a full energy bar and I'm about to level, so hopefully 48 maybe 50 runs. Need to have 150 open unit spaces lol.

    edit: fuck it, what's 20 gems anyways.
    Breaker Vernil
    Anima Sixgear (holy fucking shit holy fuck yes)
    Lord Ruby
    Breaker Tora (dupe, and I just maxed my guardian. oh well.)
    Guardian Raaga gift (dupe)

    If it makes you feel any better, I discovered that summon tickets do transfer over between platforms. I had 2 summon tickets on my iPhone, but used Bluestacks (Amazon App version) to do the summons since it had my 100+ gem stockpile. It used my 2 summon tickets and 10 gems. Oh well!
