Brave Frontier (iOS/Android)

[Nitsuki]

Yay pulled a juno, my first time limit unit. And a Melina for extra cuteness (i know she sucks). Gonna attempt grahwen fight on my day off.

[Meian]

Keep getting "Unexpected Error Has Occurred" when fighting Nalda Delia (Underworld Messenger) on auto battle between rounds and have to keep clicking ok to continue the battle. Turned off the advanced auto battle settings, didn't fix the problem. Turned off SBB priority, same issue.

[Hushigoshi]

In case it hasn't been posted before, or has been lost in prior pages, here's what is needed for the 6 starters dream evolution requirement

2 Mecha Gods
2 Miracle Totem
1 each of Elemental Totem, Pot, Idol, Spirit, and Nymph
1 Legend Stone
3 million Zel
1.5 million Karma

So if you need something to spend your energy on, start stocking up.

[Kachiko]

We should hit a 1/2 vortex event cycle, during this event, yes? Should mean that, unless we want them day one, we'll have a good cycle to get them all evolved.

Medal Rush this weekend and more Divine/Normal gate rate up:

We have double exp for the next two weeks (1st - 14th). Most likely 1/2 energy after that.

[Kachiko]

Well, something to use all of last event, and this events, honor on. Still, I'm waiting on honor items, to craft my first 0 -> Beoring Gem, to get those achievements out of the way, and make that gem, so I may just stock up on things anyway. Probably take the better part of a week to collect them all.

[Kachiko]

Hmm....to pull 4 times, for Juno, or not? My UoC is currently Allanon, and I have Aurellia, who's my best healer. Really, my only healer, and why do they always turn out to be light units? I thought we would see stats for Ms. Dark OE unit, but nothing and her gate ends in the morning.

You dont have Charla? If you dont have Charla, Charla >>>>>> Allanon. Shida does 90% of what you will want Allanon for soon enough.

Anyway I like Juno, I told GF to blow her pulls on her but she didn't end up lucking out so yeah. Always a gamble. HoT on mitigator is really nice though.

Pretty sure Kachiko has Charla. Also, Adel has HoT (as well as Spark damage) with his Mitigation. He's got such a weird buff kit he allows for some bizarre party set ups.

[Kachiko]

Have Adel for HoT mitigator, and I have two Charla, whom I find hard to actually use because I usually need her heals, which means she can't use her buffs. Aurellia is still my go-to healer, but she lacks any offense, hence Allanon as my UoC. I'm almost done farming FG, so Shida doesn't feel all that good of a pick, and I'm pretty sure I can get +5 now that I know paralyze isn't an issue.

I don't like Adel cuz he isn't super auto friendly as his spark buff is up to 20% lower than what may be provided by other teammates. But yeah he definitely is useful in some spots.

You know auto battle system was updated? Press and hold the "auto battle" button to bring up 3 swappable customizable load outs. Set it up to make sure Adel goes before any other spark buffer and you're set.

Charla's buffs last 3 turns. I can't think of anything in the game that constantly nukes you to the point that you need burst heal EVERY turn. In the case it is needed I'd just as soon bring Krantz as my mitigator or set Piany as leader or something. Charla offers way too much to not utilize. Admittedly I couldn't keep her buffs up 100% in Grahdens but that was more due to # of BB/turn penalties, still had them up generally 4-5 turns out of every 6.

I don't think I've ever used my Aurelia even before I had Charla. Krantz is the man.

Yeah I just haven't had cause to use him since update so not first thing I thought of. Since clearing Grah and waiting for Coliseum I've only been using arena orbs and auto battle elgif to burn stamina then logging off.

Have Krantz too, and used him until I got Gazia, but when I did use him, I couldn't seem to put an immunity sphere on him without risking BB not up in non raid battles, so I had him + Aurellia going. For Rc6 raids, I did get Sushi down so I could utilize Charla, but Boering always took my HP down low every round. Maybe it's because I haven't imped a lot of my newer uints, or made the RC6 spheres yet, but I do seem to need big heals every turn. If I go too defensive, I just don't do much damage. Unless I have Anima or +Imped characters, I seem to sit around 16K ish HP, and up to 18k with Anima or GE units that have +20% stats. I am missing reasonable Elgifs, so maybe that's my problem? The dungeon never really ave me stat elgifs and my bonus summon ones have been mostly +BC on Crit nonsense.

I feel like giving Nyan cat the +20% stat Elgif, from the merit points, so she's not so squishy when she does get hit.

[BerenTebogo]

So Coliseum is pretty interesting. The rock-paper-scissor formation really puts you at the mercy of RNG sometimes.

[Hushigoshi]

Couple of things... Server maintenance is over. However, the game update download is huge (500+ MB) so it'll take a while to download. Second... yeah. All hail Ensa-Taya... jeebus...

Name: Umbral Bloom Ensa-Taya
Element: Dark
Rarity: 7★
Cost: 43

Lord-type Stats
Max HP: 7020 (1000)
Max Atk: 2732 (600)
Max Def: 2430 (400)
Max Rec: 2304 (300)

Normal Attack
Number of hits: 12
Max BC generated: 48 (4 BC/hit)

Skills
Leader Skill - Allure of the Temptress
50% boost to max HP, greatly boosts BB Atk (150%) and Spark damage (100%) & boosts Atk relative to how high HP is (0-120%)

Brave Burst - Aurora Deluge
BC required: 22
50 combo random Dark attack on all foes, adds probable Injury, Weak, Sick effects to attack for 3 turns (15%) & enormously boosts own BB gauge for 1 turn (55 BC)

Super Brave Burst - Stygian Cataclysm
BC required: 30
Max BC generated: 22 (1 BC/hit)
22 combo powerful Dark attack on all foes (damage relative to remaining HP) (300-900%), hugely boosts BB Atk for 3 turns (300%), greatly boosts Spark damage for 3 turns (100%) & considerably boosts Atk relative to Def for 3 turns (60% Def to Atk)

Ultimate Brave Burst - Lacuna of Despair
BC required: 26
Max BC generated: 24 (1 BC/hit)
24 combo massive Dark attack on all foes (damage relative to remaining HP) (1200-2400%), enormously boosts BB Atk for 3 turns (500%), hugely boosts Spark damage for 3 turns (150%) & activates Dark barrier (20000 HP)

Extra Skill - Boundless Void
Adds huge damage boost against status afflicted foes for 3 turns to BB/SBB (160%) & greatly boosts Atk when HP is full (100%)

Her Leader Skill straight up beats Sirius for top tier damage in crit resistant content (like RC6). In content where there is little to no crit resistances, Avant and Nyami are still better.

So her, BB is interesting. It's 50 hits, but random attacks. Last time this has been on a BB/SBB was with Magic Riffs Eric. The random attack is a double edged sword. On the one hand, her BB will spread its 50 hit across all enemies (so not every enemy gets hit 50 times like normal BB/SBB AoE) and WILL NEVER CRIT due to the random target selection. On the other hand, each individual hit has it's own calculation on damage and status infliction. This means, You have a near 95% status infliction rate on enemies with no status resistance. Ensa-Taya's BB will pretty much guarantee you to land Sickness/Injury/Weakness like in the Grahdens/Owen trial.

Her BB also fills her BB guage to Max, so as long as whatever you're fighting does not have BB drain, her SBB will always be ready the next turn. If only Allanon had this...

Her SBB ties for the highest BB Mod (300%, same as Gazia), highest Def > Atk buff (60% just like Gazia), but replaces mitigation with a 100% Spark Buff (highest amount in game currently until Omni Evo Eze is released). hhhnnnngggggghhhh

There's no mention of it from the Gumi forums post about Ensa-Taya getting an OE in the future, but the chances of it happening are decently high I would say. Ensa-Taya is going to be relevant for a long time.

[BerenTebogo]

Yeah she's awesome and I'm all out of ST just a few gems. RIP me.

I'd spend SOME tickets today to test your squad! I had to make some changes to my initial thinking after testing over 7 runs. Spheres / units / etc.
