    Seriously, how are you almost broke? I generally hover around 1.5-1.6 and events and other stuff keeps me there even with honing/gear upgrades.

    Neither do I, but I guess you're constantly pulling so that's probably the difference when I have 300+ myths lol

    i know it's going to happen every event, but having to exp these characters for mastery conditions is making me sad in the pants

    I think we're mainly gonna see this happen for challenge events and it's really not so bad except when they bring in 2 characters at once and require both for target score. That said, we do get a break with the reissue events like the upcoming Tifa one and Rinoa and Irvine and Aerith.

    Personally I'm looking forward to the next festival of gold. I think id spend some time and money on stamina to grind out what I want for levels and stockpile eggs from that. Gil and upgrading all your gear to max (because you get so many upgrade items) is a given plus too

    Except nearly every event is a challenge event from now on.

    The character specific collection collabs also require those characters for mastery of the ex dungeons.

    Personally I like it. It gives incentive to keep everyone leveled.

    (Eventual) Materia seems reason enough to level people for me, but yeah, I can share in that feeling of frustration in having to level a new character just for a medal condition. The fact egg payouts for events usually put said characters between 35-42ish doesn't help, either, with some of the harder fights really demanding 50+ for safety. Oh well, they will run out of features eventually. Even core/classic jobs will be limited.

    Oh man the last Edgar fight is a bitch. It's bad enough you get high HP trash fond of lobbing 1K+ AOEs but then the boss itself is a giant exercise of surviving 1-3k rain and waves depending on breaks and move choice. Not 100% sure if it's immune to slow. Poison is probably a good idea if it sticks. I'd even wonder about berserk. Still the main problem is chopping at its 198k HP while we don't have things like shellra or a non-rw area cure. So lesser geared players be warned if you don't have good VI gear and higher hones.

    Won after a few restarts and eventually chewing a mythril to refresh abilities and luck out on the +2 buff. Worth a free slowga since I didn't have one. Didn't manage to master a single level either.

    i'm feeling it for the last Edgar and Sabin stages too.
    Edgar's fodder is actually easier cos you usually only get 2 mobs that deal those AoEs.
    Sabin's on the other hand.. getting 3-4-4 bombs is pretty common and they like to use Fireball if youre unlucky. Bladeblitz is awesome tho.. but I only have 2 charges on that :\

    Didn't master Edgar's but am not gonna bother since I have my Slowga. am currently working towards Sabin's boss

    He's weak to lightning and you can inflict Poison end Blind if you want. With breaks and SG it shouldn't be that bad.

    Oh man, doomtrain gave me such a hard time, and it was only for his memory crystal. it didn't help it loves to spam confuse/poison/doom AoE on everyone, or the fact its AOEs hit like a truck. still not as bad as the 4 tentacles though. just as horrible as i remember from ffvi, eventually i had eaten 14 mithril in buffs just to clear that stupid fight for edgars crystal. ~_~ i kept getting unlucky and getting ability buffs, which helped me not at all because the tentacles would one shot my whm at the start half the time before he could even buff.

    maybe one day i'll have the 5 star gear and high level characters to tackle heroic levels... one day... q.q (i have 1 zantenzuken for tidus and the next best thing is a 4 star sargatanas bow for wakka. the rest is all 3 star or less, most of which is double melded 1 star crap. every day i get 1 star from free draw, with only 2 2 stars from it, and all the 100 gem pulls have been 3 stars. >_< just have gotten zantenzuken and a monks robe for 5 stars, everything else has been 3 star crap other than the bow.)

    Sentinel's Grimoire is always the answer. Poison does 3.1k a tic so yeah it's definitely nice; Blind was mostly useless for me considering how much it spammed AoEs, but with Magic Break and SG up for all of them, they only did like 200-400 damage per person so it wasn't a big deal. As for the trash, if you're not S/Ling to keep max medals on trash stages when you need to, you're doing it wrong. As long as you kill the Magiteks before they get a move off, you're fine, but I think there was 1 double set where you probably need to eat 1 attack.

    Yes, you can oneshot it with Raise (or Death).

    Sadly my boosted Cloud couldn't 2 shot a few things so damage was inevitable even if I managed first strikes and good move choice. 2 of the stages also started with double magitek mobs for me.
