More importantly, I am missing a LOT of global exec units cuz I haven't been playing too long. I don't have Korzan/Zenia/Avani/Mikael/others.

    But yeah I'd never go for the 100% pull for them, I do think that is pretty crazy and definitely not worth it. At least I'm 1/1 on useful units with Nadore already.

    Unrelated: FH23 question

    Thinking Avant (Dand/WDB) lead + Avant (dand/WDB) friend + Zeruiah (Occult/Raven whatever) + Reud (Heavnly/Regalia) + Chrome (???/???) + ???

    Last spot: Reis for Crit buffs is what I use for FG. Would that be wise here as well? I do usually Blighted/Phantom for Reis. What is general good orb setup for Chrome? Low hit count so WDB or Vorpal with Impiety or an ATK buff?
    Definitely Reis in your set up. Something like

    Reis SBB
    Zeruiah SBB
    Avant SBB
    Reud SBB
    Avant SBB
    Chrome SBB

    Generally farming End will net you more points compared to Terminus due to the sheer power Double Avant leads give.

    For clearing Terminus (to collect rewards) youd probably drop the Avant friend for Chrome friend and sub your Chrome for a mitigator unit (Shera is the best for FH due to 30hit SBB and 7 BC fill/turn). Sometimes in Terminus you won't OTKO enemies so having a mitigator is to make sure you don't wipe and waste an orb.

    Tempting to pull for some of the global exclusives I am missing but more specifically for Deimos/Haile. Not sure if a better gate will show up for those chances. Or if to just deal with it and pull in the next JP batch mentioned.

    Also, got Mirfah finally after so many levels. Lord type. Will still do the area until 2x XP is over since it is still pretty nice XP and see if I can get Anima.

    I got several GE, from a separate rate up gate, back in Novemberish, and most of the rest from the Christmas gate, just doing normal pulls. If you want the best random shot at them, then it's probably whenever the GE rate up gate comes back around, otherwise, it's these special holiday gates, that require pre-dumping for a guaranteed shot.

    Personally, I'm falling behind, on the GE power curve, as I don't have any of the new ones, but I'm okay in the JP power curve, for now. I need to find a good gate to summon on again.

    Weekend Merit Point event again...

    New spheres in the shop as well.

    Metal Orb - 20k,
    Revelation Book - 15k
    Thorn Crown - 15k
    Phoenix Orb - 10k
    Sky Blade/ Sky Buckler - 12k
    Peserverance Jewel - 25k
    Prized Light - 20k
    Luna Laguliz - 18k
    Metal Orb is a status effect orb that boosts atk/def 20% along with dealing status ailments (can stack with a regular stat sphere like buffer jewel).
    Phoenix Orb is used in Beiorg Armor (saves you some time making another one)
    Sky Blade and Buckler are the combined stat spheres used to make Occult Treasures.
    Revelation Book for War Demon Blade

    The rest, in my opinion, are passable...

    What could I replace zeruiah with? Perhaps a 6*, as I'm lolcasual and can't play 5x7*...

    If you have 7* Ciara she adds all elements but light/dark to attack. 6* Quaid SBB does the same.

    Edit: Or 6* Shida

    Also there will be half exp vortex a few days before FH23 I think? If you spam karma lv4 all day monday at half EXP to try to get up to enough cost for all 7* that might be a good idea.

    The artwork for the new "Dream Evolution" JP BF is releasing is downright badass; I especially like Lance, Eze, and Magress.

    Spoiler: show














    Not that it matters for us right now, but for future reference...

    Think of these as 7.5* and not as 8* evolutions.
    They go up to level 150.
    45 Cost

    Evo materials consist of
    2 Mecha Gods
    2 Miracle Totems
    1 Elemental Totem
    1 Elemental Pot
    1 Elemental Idol
    1 Elemental Spirit
    1 Elemental Nymph
    1 Legend Stone
    1 million Karma
    3 million Zel.

    It's a lot of materials to fit on their standard evolution screen. I have Anima of all, but Magress, so, aside from legend stones, I could have them all day 1 release. Wonder if 8.5 Selena becomes the new Arena metta.

    That's the evolution screen



    More info (take note of the bold part)

    Summary from Zoonam

    *Lore wise they are basically alternate versions of "What ifs" .

    *7* Units will be able to Dream Evolve only after reaching their max level.

    *To Evolve, they'll need 10 materials, including Nymphs and Spirits

    *Elgif carry over to next evolution, SBB halved as usual.

    *In addition to Zel, Karma will also be needed

    *Both Leader Skill and BB will be more powerful.

    *At first only the Six Heroes will Dream Evolve.

    *When a Unit get to level 150, with SBB 10 (UBB unlocked), it will be possible to obtain Special Abilities

    *If a 7* Unit had its UBB unlocked, the SBB level will go back to 1

    *30% to all stats when the Six Heroes have their spheres equipped

    *At first you'll have 10 SP, but you will be able to obtain more (like when you level a BB)

    *SP longform is Specialty Point.

    *100 SP max per unit, can be gained via fusing same unit, using burst frog / burst emperor, sphere frog, etc. Customization such as HP up, spark (either spark dmg up or, spark crit, or whatever), crit (crit damage up, crit chance, etc. IDK the full details yet.)

    *SPs are necessary to obtain Special Abilities

    *Special Abilities are various, and different from Unit to Unit. Costs of Special Abilities vary. Some cost between 10-20 SP, some cost as much as 80 SP. You will not be able to select all Special Abilities for one unit because of this.

    *Once a unit Special Abilities are unlocked (read, once you've distributed every SP) you'll be able to reset them for 3 Gems

    *When a Dream Unit Sparks with another Dream Unit (T/N: possibly of the same element, given the interview details), a Cross Spark will occur -> this will lead (invoke is the term used) to the Resonance Effect

    *While Resonating, the party members of the same Element of the Dream Unit will get buffed

    *With more Units of the same Element in the party, the Resonance Effect will be stronger

    Guess I'm leveling some starters.

    I have 200 honor summons saved up. Can I get the starters during SHS or should I go ham now?

    Best bet is during Super Honor Summon.

    Plus don't sweat it now, it'll be at least 2... maybe 4 months before we see this in Global.

    I didn't really understand how you gain SP points, or maybe I do, but if a burst frog will only give you 1 SP point, that's a hell of a grind.

    Sphere frogs give like 10, burst frogs gives 5, you can get random 1 from BB fodder.
