    Decided to drop Belfura for Michele from my everyday team b/c I desperately needed someone with an atk buff, and she's the best. I always wanted to add her but I've been waiting for her 7* to hit global, but my patience has worn thin at this point (was saving burst emperors for her, but fuck it I'm done waiting at this point) Problem I have now? 3/5 fire units in my squad. I see this as kind of a glaring weakness for raids and such, but I don't want to drop units just because of elemental weaknesses. Think I might switch out Ulkina for Elmedia but she doesn't have a SBB that attacks, and that's what I love about Ulk. This has got me thinking too deeply about this.

    Are you running gate to farm points or to clear it?

    Clearing it you need a "general specific" set up.

    *Mitigator is essential
    *Unit that can Poison is essential (Edea, Tora, Fadhal, etc)
    *unit that can Paralyze and Curse is extremely helpful (Edea does not apply these buffs fyi)
    *Unit with HoT buff extremely helpful but not necessary.
    *Taunt unit is helpful but not necessary.
    *BC drop buffer, BB fill on hit, BB fill on spark, BB fill rate modifier should all be tried to be fit into your party if possible.

    I cleared it before the OD revamp with Grah lead, Elimo, Edea, Ultor, Zenia, Bestie friend.

    Tridon is awesome for Gate but I've read reports that his shield does weird things on the last stage due to the boss applying a DoT to people. Like randomly abnormal damage from DoT when you have Tridon's shield on (like taking 15k damage instead of 4k damage).

    Is Tora good enough to cover all the statuses?

    If you plan on farming points I suggest looking at one of Formana's threads on reddit of a light/dark auto battle team to farm floor 1-20 for 2.5-3.5 mil a run.

    Can't wait for God Gate to start getting Meta units. I've been able to grab Anima of Reed, Rhein, and Lucana, as well as a Lord of Aniel. The dungeons hit stupid hard, but they also drop almost every time, so aside from Aniel, they've all been relatively quick to get.

    I've started doing raids, and now my inventory is starting to be come a problem (again); I'm around 165 inventory slots. Most of the item guides out there seem out-dated, so I'm wondering if anyone has one they use or have put together for what to get rid of, these days. Biggest drag right now are those elemental eyes; I have 50+ of each of the elemental stones, but I don't know if I should have full stacks of them or if I'm good to go with those.

    Also, I wish friend list would gift better/more consistently. I should be getting over 40 Honor Drops a day, but I only get like 20, which is eating into how long it's taking to make the higher level items. D:

    *edit*

    Also, darn Miku isn't dropping often enough; still haven't maxed SBB, though I am close.

    And after I just blew all those burst emperors and dupe Micheles to max out her BB b/c I was tired of waiting, boom oh hey here's that 7* form you've been waiting for. Choke on it. Also decided to replace Ulkina with Rigness b/c I totally forgot I had him and he's just a better version of Ulk and I had no water unit in my squad, so it evens out better for rainbow lead friends. Now I just have to wait for the end of the week for totems and mechs, because I got blindsided by them deciding to release Michele Exvhal and Melchio 7* forms.

    Being completely honest, I would synth all the elemental eyes into stones and seals..... to get synth counts towards "total item synths" in the Achievement Store and then sell them. I've used my elemental stones a grand total of 2 times; once accidentally because I was starting out and had no idea what they were for, and once to attempt a OTKO kill on a trial. Otherwise the stacks of stones and seals I made have been collecting dust otherwise.

    As far as regular materials (brown outline in picture) go, I would keep all the "green" materials (claw, pelts, bone, fangs, and bugs) to synth into the low 5% stat spheres. Once again, that is simply to count towards "total sphere synth" in the Achievement Store, and then sell them. Taking those 5% spheres and using them to make the 10% spheres is actually a loss of Karma/zel ratio. Blue, Red, Yellow/Gold sphere materials can all safely be sold in my opinion.

    Unfortunately, all of the raid items (red outline in picture), I would keep all of them. Some of them have abysmal drop rates so you want to keep everything you get.

    While you are micromanaging your inventory this is my recommendation.

    Items that you should make 1-2 stacks of:
    Regular Cure Potions
    Titan/Brute Elixirs
    Fujin Potions AND Fujin Tonics
    Revives AND Revive Lights
    Angel Idols to be converted into Goddess Idols
    Ares' Flute to be converted into Holy Flutes
    Hero Crystal (make like 10-20 of them)


    The rest I feel are not that important enough to take up valuable space. Synth them if you want (for that total synth count achievement) but sell them so they don't take up space. Plus, a lot of the materials are easily farmable and if you really need it, just go run whichever quest that drops it!

    You can sort your friend's list by the last time they've played. Since you probably added a few random people from using quests, you'll be surprised to see quite of few people probably stopped playing. I usually drop people from my list if they haven't been online in 5 days or so to free up space for more active people that gift daily.

    To give you an idea, I just hit my 300th consecutive day playing. I've given out 14.8K gifts, yet only received 8.8k gifts. Someday people will like me enough to gift back

    edit: Unit info for Michele, Exvehl, and Melchio 7* in case anyone needed a quick reference

    My friend list is pretty trimmed, aside from a couple BG people, but ya, I've sent 1041 and received 494, some of which are the 10 honor point ones, even though I don't have that requested. >_>;

    Well, it looks like I'll sell all of the elemental ore/seals I get, cause I haven't used them myself. I think I only got rid of one common raid item, so I'll keep them, and, unless it's a boss drop, sell pretty much any non-important consumable material since they can just be farmed if needed, right? I'm guessing I'll eventually get Angelic Foils and such, as I naturally progress in other areas (two Murasamas already), like I have with Legwalds/Malice spheres.

    So I didn't realize Owen was a much better lead than Grah if you don't need the damage mitigation.

    Owen is like a free Griff almost. He's pretty badass for a free unit not going to lie.

    Leader Skill:
    Griff: 30% HP/Atk boost, 150% boost to crit damage, 6-8 BC fill for each critical hit
    Owen: 35% all stats, 100% boost to crit damage, 6-8 BC fill for each critical hit

    BB:
    Griff: 14 hit, Fire/Water buff, 50% Crit damage buff (total with LS is 200%)
    Owen: 16 hit, 60% chance of Injury/Weakness, 45% buff to Critical Hit Rate

    SBB:
    Griff: 17 hit, Fire/Water buff, 50% Crit damage buff, and 40% Ares effect for 3 turns
    Owen: 25 hit, 70% Def > Attack buff for three turns.

    Any way to figure out which optional raid missions I havent done? Apparently the latest RC5 requires all missions done -_-

    Open up a room with no quest selected. Go to the quest tab, start with RC1, and look down the list. Missions you have cleared will say "CLEAR" right above the image of the boss target.

    Thanks

    It's honestly dumb to have optional missions and then have a story mission that requires those done. Granamos levels suck.
