Still haven't seen a single 5* character weapon

Yeah, some choices will be made depending on what you pull; if you pull a 5* spear, Kain is probably one of your normal 5.

I got a fucking Masamune and I don't have Seph. Mad about that still. My only other ones are Danjuro and Regal Gown. I'd kill to give my Josef/Rydia/Terra something better.

I think Seph will be back pretty soon so it's not all bad.

Wanted to hone protectga from lv 1-2 and saw I need 15 4* earth

Urgh

I'd rather do Quake to R3 than Protectga to R2 honestly. Obviously that requires some additional dark orbs with the 12 earth but those are cheaply farmed.

Is it better to save up for an 11 relic pull, or try to get a few good things now? Recently started playing and only have a couple 3* at this point. Running Cloud, Tyro, Kain, Vanille, and Rydia, all around lvl 11-16. Just got Lenna from the event.

edit: doing the fire crystal event till it ends to get some better equips. Already got the 2 power wrists and just stacking points till it ends to see what I can do with them from there.

->SE announces new game
->Everyone jokes/is upset new game is a mobile game
->Mobile game thread on BG is longer and more popular than the FFXV thread

._.

This is actually the only phone game outside of older real games (like FF6/5/4 Etc.) that I ever liked on the phone. If they make more of these I'd be interested but most of them suck.

If you can manage, I'd save up for an 11 to start. It should be raining mythril anyway when you first start so it shouldn't take more than a couple of days if you're spamming the old dungeons.

Got it, thanks. Sitting on 45 Mythril currently, thanks to freebies and events. 6 more should take no time at all.

I'd also advise you look up the specific odds depending on what relic banner you click on as well. The reason for this is that when certain items get increased for the banner, a lot of them get dropped to a ridiculously low percent.

This thread usually gets updated (Click on individual item drop rates to see what I mean with the .001% rates on a bunch of 5* weps at the bottom):

The robe and mace from Lenna's events are very good (for a new player), as is the hyper wrist.

I'm guessing you don't have either Terra or Rinoa? If not, unless you feel strongly for Rydia, I would boot Rydia and make Vanille your BLM, and Lenna your WHM. Rydia is really squishy, and can't use 3* white magic or 4* black magic, so she's not as flexible as Vanille. Vanille has less MAG, but IMO she makes up for it in other areas.

It kinda sucks that neither of the relic banners are very good right now. If I had to pick one, I'd actually pull Lenna's banner over Vanille's. While Lenna's relic SB isn't very good, her staff actually provides much more MAG and MND than normal relics (238 MAG+MND). In comparison, Vanille's only gives 199 MAG+MND. So you can put the Healing Staff on Vanille, and she can do both Black and White magic reasonably well. Genji armor + Genji helm are probably better than Kaiser Knuckles + Gold Bangle as well. Locke's event should be coming soon, so you can wait for that as well.

55k of points left and I'm done with vanille since I do hard only should be done tomorrow or Monday

[Tyrath]

Is it better/easier to do hard only? Just got back from a cruise so I only started today. Do I have enough time to go for the big prizes?

You can cap out in 5 runs of heroic so if you can manage to do heroic without mythril (see my earlier post about this)... it's a no brainer to do it. Either way you'll want to beat heroic at least once even if you have to use a mythril to do it, but I really don't think that's needed if you abuse Vanille (or whoever your WHM is AND Vanille for additional damage) leveling up mid run.

Was 1 page back, here:

Also, I did heroic with L32 Vanille with a planned level up 4 stages in (10.8Kish from level) and didn't use a mythril. Although I'm on the higher end gearwise for it, I feel like if your abilities are honed a bit more than mine or you adjust strategy a bit (to using retaliate probably if you only have 1 strong weapon because of Anima's counters) then you can still farm heroic. I started with the Manasavin Warmech (x2.8) just because all of the options end up frontloading the harder mobs. Decent chance you end up with a double Anima if you do like I did my first time, but if you do then just clear to stage 7 for 11kish and retreat.

Setup was:
Cloud (R2 Thunder Strike/R3 Double Cut) with Buster Sword/Gold Bangle
Cecil (DRK) (R2 Power Break/R3 Double Cut) with Dark Sword/Diamond Helm
Terra (R3 Thundaga/R2 Quake) with Enhancer/Genji Helm
Tidus (R3 Boost/R2 Armor Break) with Diamond Sword/Knight Armor
Vanille (R1 Protectga/R4 Curaga) with Light Staff/Gold Bangle

(Vanille was level 32 with 10.8K until next level; everyone else was 50.)

Basic strategy stuff:

Starting with Manasavin Warmech ends up with these as your path options:
2.8 → 2.2 → 1.4 → 1.5 → 3.3 → 1.5 → 1.8 → 3.3 (38,082) *
2.8 → 2.2 → 1.4 → 2.2 → 1.5 → 1.5 → 1.5 → 3.3 (21,157)
2.8 → 2.2 → 1.4 → 3.3 → 1.5 → 1.5 → 1.5 → 3.3 (31,720) *
2.8 → 2.8 → 1.4 → 2.2 → 1.5 → 1.5 → 1.5 → 3.3 (26,909)
2.8 → 2.8 → 1.4 → 2.2 → 1.8 → 1.5 → 1.5 → 3.3 (32,294)

You won't be able to clear the asterisk'd ones without a mythril use most likely so I'd just go to stage 7 and retreat if you end up on one of those paths, you'll still get a solid amount of memories. You'll also probably need to restart the fight (without losing the stamina) a decent amount depending on mob RNG to make sure you don't get hammered with damage. Examples: Thundara on the 1.4x mob, Wave Cannon spam.

Individual fights:
You'll only encounter 3 hard mobs and you have 2 uses of Protectga to use between them and you only want to use 2/4 Power Breaks so that you have 2 left for Anima. The behemoth absolutely needs Protectga so I'd use a Power Break only on the first fight (Manasavin Warmech) in case you end up with 2 Behemoths so that you'll be able to Protectga both of them and then apply an additional Power Break on one of them. For the hard mobs (2.2x, 2.8x), I'd use 2 thunder abilities per fight. I'd always use Boost on Cloud before using Thunder Strikes (Used 1 Thunder Strike/1 Thundaga on the first 2 hard mob fights and then my final 2 Thunder Strikes on my 3rd (and final hard mob instead of my 3rd Thundaga just to be able to bring 4 Thundagas to Anima.) The rest of would be regular attacks and sometimes an additional Double Cut from Cloud (I had 4 left going into Anima), although you can probably use an Armor Break or 2 where you see fit as well. Quake will one shot the trash mobs (except the 1.8x guy where you will lose at least 1 medal) so use those fights to take a swing or 2 (depending on where the ATB gauge starts) and toss a Curaga and then finish them with Quake. You could also just attack them down if you wanted and take something other than Quake (or use Firaga for the 1.8x one since your only shot at saving all 3 medals for action taken is hitting him with 2 heavy fire attacks). Anima is pretty straight forward. Make sure protectga is the first action you get off and preferably without him hitting you too hard. I used what AoE damage I had to almost kill both arms and then attacked one to finish it off. After that, I spaced out 2 power breaks, reapplied protectga after the 2nd power break, and just kept hammering Anima.

Now, changes that could be made for lesser gear:
First off, you could use someone else instead of Tidus but they need to be able to use Boost at least. On Anima, with my setup, I spent 3 turns on Tidus boosting the other DD and then finally getting to Armor Break on Anima. However, as I said, if you only have 1 good DD weapon, you'll probably need to use the retaliate tactic, but it's probably possible without that too, but you might lose too many medals for mastery because of actions taken. Alternatively, if you have abilities more honed than mine so that you can afford to use some more abilities on the other mobs, it's even more do-able sans Retaliate. I still had 2 Boosts, 2 Armor Breaks, 2 Double Cuts on Cecil, a few Curagas and 2 Bravers/1 Trance Fira/1 Darkness left over when I killed Anima so there's certainly a lot more wiggle room with ability usage.

[Draylo]

There is no way I'd be able to clear it :/ I need to get more abilities, still missing Protectga and a decent mage user. I don't have that gear either you have some nice ones.

That's why I said retaliate since it allows you to backrow everyone but the retaliating char and all you need is 1 good weapon. You can potentially use even more timed level ups (Start @ ~10k til next level) as well for increased damage/more utility ability usages so you should at least be able to clear if you're clever and have at least a group of nearly 50s. Another cure might be a sub for Protectga, but I'm not sure if you could keep up with the damage, however the reason I couldn't keep up with damage on Anima was because of counters and if you use retaliate, you don't have to deal with those.

Has anyone tried retaliate on heroic xp dungeon? 1 50 rest low level? Don't have quake or blade blitz and wanna level a bunch of people

It may be possible, but it wouldn't be practical. You'd S/L like crazy due to AoEs killing your low guys.
