    Charla:
    Avant Lead/Friend
    Charla/Zeru/Gildorf/Rize or Vermillion
    Order: Charla -> Zeru -> Avant #1 -> Auto
    Average ~ 5.7-6.2m over around 8-10 runs 1-20

    Not-Charla:
    Avant Lead/Friend
    Zeru/Reud/Elza/Reis
    Order: Press auto button -> walk away
    Average ~ 6.3-6.75m (with new record high of 7.01m) over 10 runs

    I had thought Charla was the queen of FG, but is this only true for FH? Am I using her wrong somehow? And yes I checked for SBB priority fuckups so that wasn't it.
    You're "not fucking up", it's just you're probably not sparking well enough with your first party set up to take advantage of Charla's +100% Spark buff. In the other party, you have 3 units with 40+ hit SBB so you'll get more sparks on average.

    Gildorf is also a double edged sword. Yeah, he deals insane damage... but ONLY if he sparks. If you can't spark his attack, he's worthless.

    My FG party is
    Avant lead x 2, (Blade of Ultor + Sacred Axe on mine, best spheres on a friend Avant with a good elgif is Blight Seal + Sacred Axe)
    Charla (Phantom Gizmo + Sacred Crystal)
    Zeruiah (Flag Flower + WDB)
    Rize x 2 (Godly Flower + WDB on both)

    I get around 8.5 million points a run, highest being 9.8 million. But I make sure to position my units so that both pairs of Avant and Rize all spark their hits. I also turn off auto-battle on Floor 10 ad Floor 18 and just do SBB Charla > SBB Zeruiah > Regular attack everyone else to preserve SBB gauges for the next floor where there is 4 units and potential to deal more damage.

    Oh yeah, Gumi snuck in some other miscellaneous data with the update.

    They put in the elgif rewards from Light, Water, and Thunder Frontier Gates (so maybe end of the month or next month we'll get those).

    They also put in the Summoner Level Milestone Elgifs (level 600, 700, 800, and 900).

    They've also been piecemealing the JP Colosseum data in for the past few months.

    Last thing, Frontier Hunter was suppose to start today, but they pushed it back to start March 16, 20:00 PST and will last until March 21, 19:59 PST

    Lame. I tried all possible configurations with that group (with verm anyway) and couldn't reliably always spark as much as I wanted. It was frustrating, but I guess that explains it. Thanks.

    Seria EX dungeon down, lots of potential damage going out so be careful. I UBBed on the second turn with Laberd as soon as I saw her summon one extra person, got lucky cuz on turn 3 she summoned 3-4 more. Darvanshel will cut your damage down a lot but 3 turns of UBB should let you take most of the danger down.

    BTW you can also now see how many FH points you've farmed, on your way to 200 million points, for Sacred Longbow. Looks like I'm almost 70 million into it at rank 21. Check the Frontier Hunter achievement section to see where you are.

    The new units look great but it's hard to get excited about pulling for them when we know we have DE units right around the corner who will overpower a lot of 7*.

    Just FYI. The game doesn't work; Gumi is aware of the issue.
    When you try to start up the game you get hit with an "unexpected error" pop up and the game will close.

    So used the last of the "CA gives good amounts of tickets and gems" supplies that I had to do 9 pulls.

    Farzen (G) (new for me)
    Avant (A) (upgrade from G)
    Ivris (B) new
    Allanon (O) (to go with my O deer )
    Charis (G) dupe
    Rhoa (O) new
    Rigness (O) dupe
    Kira (B) (upgrade from O?)
    6* Nyami (A)

    Also got Lord type all stats+20% elgif and probable BB boost from spark elgif. I'm pretty happy. Unsure who to Lord elgif but probably Paris when I get her? Or Karl? Or just wait for Ghrah/Owen

    Farzen is nice, he's like a DD version of Charla, providing Crit Rate Boost, Crit Damage Boost, Spark vulnerability, and Spark Boost (via ES). Granted, his buffs aren't as strong as Charla's, but he's nice to slot into a Raid team to help boost more damage.

    Breaker Kira is definitely a bump over Oracle since Kira is still one of the best leads for Medal Rush. Also, Kira with Demon Striker and Urias can solo Mega Metal Parades very efficiently and damn quick with his BB (gives ignore defense).

    I'd give the +20% Lord elgif to Paris if you're using her in your team compositions for now. You can always buy an Emgif and transfer it to another unit later!

    So I do a rainbow summon and pull green dragon of fail. Meh. So I see new GLOBAL EXCLUSIVE UNIT 2X RATE UPS! So I do a pull, and I shit you not.......GREEN DRAGON OF FAIL.

    I'm really starting to hate this game since it obviously hates me. No new units streak continues.

    Aside from those two places is there any reason to level Kira? I have had O Kira at 5* for over a month. I use Lune for MMP and for medal rush I primarily just yolo it since it is over in 1-2 turns.

    Will put some effort into getting Farzen up for sure, but now I need to rethink my water FG group lol. I think with Allanon existing now I will feel better about replacing Charla for raids.

    Well, I had Kira from back when he was first released so I already had him leveled and imped because he was the best Crit buffer at release (Maxwell and Duel-SGX were the current meta at the time).

    And you could always just use a Kira friend for medal rush; Nitsuki and myself usually put ours up for that.

    If you got a unit you use for MMP then don't worry too much about it.

    Is this event worth doing for these units? What niche do they fill?
    As someone who mostly logs on to get my rewards and then logs out, are they worth for when i feel like playing

    Those two units do looks pretty solid; just don't know how they'll compare to the dream evolutions that are coming round the mountain. Course, I might have 10 summons worth of gems saved up by then, for when they do come out.

    Well. Since you're missing Zeruiah, Allanon is a solid replacement. Unless you have Shida, since Shida gets his 7* most likely in April.

    Just Ciara, but she also has that +ATK buff that Allanon doesn't have, so I don't know that he'd replace her in FG. Super useful in raids as a cleanser/healer, if you can maintain the SBB.
