    My best DD leads are imped Chrome, imped Griff, Zedus, or Zenia, or using Mahalu, for BC support. They also happen to be my best DD too as I don't have my second Rize fully leveled.

    Normal FG party (5ish million runs) has been Zedus/Avant, Ciara, Chrome, Rize, and Nemethgear, with slightly different sphere loadouts.

    drop charla and add in Nemethgear. Or, if he's maxed out, add in Gazia (SBB has a 850% modifier at SBB10). Even with the buff clash with Avant, Gazia's SBB is simply more powerful than Nemethgear's (850% vs 500%)

    Ya, normal group got 3 million, without a good UBB group.

    Also, FH summon is supposedly up:

    Heroes that excel in Frontier Hunter will also gather at the Rare Summon Gates. Summon them from Feb. 17, 20:00 PST until Feb. 19, 19:59 PST on the exclusive gate of Frontier Summon.
    Avani | Nemethgear | Mahalu | Vermillion | Charla | Farzen
    Rouche | Vars [Golem] | Reud | Avant | Chrome | Griff
    Rize | Zenia | Shida | Kiravel [Folg]| Korzan

    I have 8 of them already. Korzan, Avant, Rouche, Avani or Shida would be nice to get, but that's only 30% chance to get something I'd want.

    The hell....somehow lost to a Piany arena leader team just now, with three of their team members left. How does Hadaron + 4 double/tripple hit units fail that hard?

    Did like 8 pulls in FH gate and almost threw my phone at 3 mahalu dupes, 3 golem dupes, and a zenia dupe... I got the light dragon at least completing all 6 elemental dragons. But i'll never get Avani.

    Looking at current elgif options:

    30% Boost to Elemental Damage is worth more raw damage than 15% attack, correct? But only on BB/SBB? Or is it only when you have elemental advantage?

    Cannot really bring myself to spend that many gems for them and him over waiting for that future JP batch (unless maybe it was Zeruiah-tier).



    Probably doing the first turn of End wrong. Been doing ATK potion and fujin on charla, Zeruiah, Avant, have them SBB and the others just regular attack which clears it in the first turn. Problem with this is, I have to take another battle to set up for the perfect Avant/Rize spark auto-battle. Better to just give up the first turn kill bonus to set up for the auto battle in the first battle?

    No idea since not using the perfect Avant/Rize method. May not matter since it looks like a lot of the +5 rewards will be eaten by people doing autoguard w/ charla + UBB every floor of Terminus since that is far and away more points than anything else. I'm positive you'll easily get +4 at your current rate. I think you're taking down 2-3x more points than me in end just using my basic FG spark blanket team. I'm netting 600k +/- 50k FH points per run just doing attack potion -> autobattle every stage.

    You're doing End wrong.

    First battle should go like...

    Pop fujin Charla. Guard everyone. Hit auto battle. A few turns later everyone has maxed SBB.

    Then use an attack potion and do your SBB order and auto battle for the remainder of your run.

    This requires you to have Phantom Gizmo and Sacred Crystal on your Charla to work properly.

    End still nets more points than Terminus.

    I'm doing the "UBB every round" method on end because I'm bored and like big numbers.

    I'm getting around a score of 8 million. That nets me 800k esteem points on End.

    Oh wow the difference between perma UBB and not isn't as big as I thought it would be. Granted over like 30-40 runs it'll be a lot but still.

    I tried the "perfect spark" thingy (which means no UBB) and got around 5 million on End, which is 500k esteem points. Over the course of the season, that 300k esteem difference will be a huge chunk since there's about 39 orbs usually. That's like 35 End runs. That's a difference of 10.5 million esteem points.

    I don't have Charla so cant do UBB spam but its weird that double rize + double avant score lower than I'm currently running (spark# optimized in simulator ofc).

    Avant lead (blighted + WDB) upper right
    Avant friend (whatever) mid right
    Reis (sky harbinger + steeple rose) upper left
    Zeru (heresy + beiorg) mid left
    Reud (lion regalia + heavenly) bottom left
    Chrome (occult + infidelity) bottom right

    Running something like 172 sparks/turn with full auto against 4 enemies.

    Drop the Occult and Beiorg spheres.

    Blades of Ultor + WDB on your Avant.

    Reis is fine.

    Blighted Seal + Spark Sphere on Zeruiah

    Reud is fine

    Batootha + Infidelity on Chrome.

    Not sure I understand why I am popping Fujin on Charla and how the non-Avants are gaining BB from guarding.

    How exactly is the UBB each turn done?
