Brave Frontier (iOS/Android)

The stages are designed to give more points the higher level you do. Middle farming uses a very specific tactic to maximize the points from every facet of it. It involves a lot of guarding and time wasting. I doubt you have the proper units for it. I personally don't bother with it because its time consuming.

There's the guarding method and the luck method abusing high power stats spheres, lots of critical damage, abusing elemental weakness, spark damage, and lots of luck in hoping you get good room spawns with 3+ enemies.

I stopped doing the guard method and use double Kira leads, Griff, Feeva, Zenia, and Ark. I OTKO each stage. I'll get like 1.2 million per floor with 2-3 enemies, and floors with 5-6 enemies I'll get upwards of 3-4 million for that floor.

A lame floor spawn run I'll get like 5.5 million points (275k esteem points), with a good run (each battle having 5-6 enemies) I've gotten upwards of 13 million (650k esteem points).

Takes the same amount of time as an regular OTKO Terminus run.

I don't have Zenia or Griff or Ark :<

BB mod, Crit damage mod, hard hitter light/dark unit to take advantage of Kira's LS.

Will, Reis, annnnnd maybe Grah, or Sefia,Raaga, Nemethgear?

[Tyrath]

I'm gonna try with

Kira
Kira
Feeva
Reis
Will
Sefia


Is it worth swapping those guys into Attack 100% up for 2 turn spheres to maximize damage?

Also Nemethgear better choice than Feeva? Their attacks are close for me but Feeva has more hits.

[Tyrath]

Got 5.3mil my first run.

Gonna swap Reis, Will and Kira to 2 turn 100% attack boost orbs. Feeva has Blighted/Heresy combo. Keeping sefia on her ES sphere. Wish I had a Raaga or Zenia for that extra spark damage.

Definitely doing this though because this is way faster than the 3 turn terminus farm.

5.3mil is like 1.3 in Terminus; nice. Make sure to use Spark boosting spheres like Batootha, Steeple Rose, and Heavenly Bud as well as crit damage boosting spheres; Blades of Ultor, and Geldnite Axe.

edit: Popular Units Rate Up (20% chance of pulling a random unit with the Rate Up). All days are pretty solid to pull from; Day 2, Day 4, and Day 5 especially so. Also there's a 5+1 summon deal for it.

Highlight Units
Day 1: Griff, Edea,
Day 2: Bestie, Feeva, Will
Day 3: Medina, Liberia, Farlon (eventually)
Day 4: Elimo, Rhoa, Kira, Aaron
Day 5: Krantz, Shera, Reis, Dion
Day 6: Kagura, Rinon, Kafka

I was thrown off seeing Farlon in Day 3.. Forgot he gets a 7* when Lunaris, Alyut,and Signas get theirs. Farlon becomes an AoE infinite SBB with his 7* form.

I feel like my units have a strong addiction to Miracle Totems. I've farmed so many of them, the last few days....

[Hushigoshi]

Every evolution from 5* to 6*, and 6* to 7* requires a miracle totem as well as 1-2 elemental totem.

That's why I like to farm ~20 of them during 1/2 energy vortex times.

[Tyrath]

Got 6.3mil in middle with Zenia friend. So I might just alternate between Kira and Zenia based on who is available.

[Nitsuki]

My journey to ark is almost there! Finally decided to take on zevalhua and wrecked her. Now to alfa dilith.

[Tyrath]

Did a run with kira friend with almost same enemy line up (got memetes instead of Alma and Oguro). Got 6.7mil. So Zenia friend is not terrible replacement for Kira.

[Rizil]

Thats funny, because just about every evolution I'm doing now and for the past 2 days has required at least 1 metal mimic (and sometimes 2) per evolution, and those things are a bitch to get (praise be RNGesus)

Played around a bit with Toutetsu and he is...weird...to say the least. His BB acts like a poison, but is not a poison, which means it probably will stack with a poison user (hello Tora) I don't know if DoT builds are viable in this game but Tou is at least a 140% atk buffer so there's that.

[Hushigoshi]

Farm level 1 cave of desires for Metal Mimics. They have a 9% chance of showing up. In level 2, they have a 10% chance. Not energy efficient.

[Rizil]

Really? Haven't seen any ever at level 1. Been always spamming level 2 for them. Hell a 1% difference gets more than made up by the increased amount of runs in saved energy. Law of averages and all that.

[Tyrath]

I just do some level 2 farming and then run a few dark metal runs. I save the dark metal gods I get from SHS. Boom. Consistent supply of metal mimics.

[Kachiko]

Buy/use a key and farm Metal Parade to get Kings/Ghosts and use the Metal Gods, from SHS, to make your mimics. Much much more efficient then running 1/2 unless you need some batwings, from L2, then, any Metal Mimics are just extra cake.

[Rizil]

I know I can make them, and I guess now that Metal keys are 50 cap that might be more viable. Before I hated wasting keys when the cap was 10 because I would always binge on leveling new units. Now I guess that's a lot more viable.

oh my god oh my god oh my god....
Next week is going to be epic.

Who the fuck is Gazia?

[Hushigoshi]

Who the fuck is Gazia?

He's the main villian in the Soul Bound Saga storyline. He's the creator of Cyclaw, Hydraloid, Euryalis, Netherhound, Grievesnare, and Stormwing makes an "Iron Army" (of said units) to march against the Athensphere. You learn about him in the SBS Grand Quest.
