Thanks, I just sent an invite, though I still have a WoL set as a friend unit. He's my best tank and all around best equipped unit. I did just max out Agrias, and throwing her and my Kefka into the group, I manage to win in about three rounds instead of 4-5 and can use my Ramza friends as well.
Current team is:
Kefka
Celes (for focus)
Agrias
Golbez (second strongest mage)
Lenna (cheer/heal paralyze)
I still don't have any TM gear, but otherwise I have most of the good stuff available in the game so far. Really, only thing I'm lacking is decent melee DDs
3 daily draws in a row of Krile. . . -_-
5th hayate for me. Where's my damn miyuki!
Got Black Cat Lid from daily pull. Woot?
I wouldn't worry about her ability slots. If I read right, we get ATK+10% crafting with next area release, so while you technically do lose out in comparison, she's not exactly a powerhouse on her own. She's got some niche benefit like wrecking mechanical units. And aside from stuff like Pandora, we haven't had them thrown at us too often.
I need to clear the Elite Tower of Babil before it goes away. I'm rolling with Cecil, Lenna, Kefka, Ramza, and Agrias. Going to grab a 550ish Lightning companion.
I don't have any TM gear but I've covered my resistances with gear/espers except Lenna's weak to fire and Kefka's weak to water. I'm hoping barspells will keep me trucking but I'm a bit scared to take the jump. Everyone is capped except Cecil and Ramza are 97. My main sources of DPS are going to be Kefka with 400 mag, Ramza with 347 attack, and the companion Lightning.
You guys think it's doable?
If it doesn't work out, could swap your Ramza for a supporty type mage like Tellah or Tera if you have them. Generally, the hard parts are Rubi getting low on HP, Barb's fight in general, then hoping Golbez doesn't insta-KO too many people. A good Lightning will do most of the leg work.
Do you have a unit with Raise? 550 lightning can solo everything just have other people defend and buff and cure. Use raise on he first boss, he is undead. I would switch Kefka or Agrias with someone with raise
Your setup will get to golbez fight just fine, from there it is just rng if you win or lose
I was afraid to drop Ramza because he's my heaviest hitter(although I suppose that can be shifted), highest level, and he's got Holy Blade. Agrias is my only Full Break and I thought that was required for all of the uber high content. I wasn't worried about Raise on Scarmiglione since I was just going to pop him with a Phoenix Down and swapping Kefka for Tellah seemed pointless for one spell. Although; if my companion Lightning really is going to lay waste to them anyway, I can see the utility of being able to raise.
As far as Golbez(and the game in general); there isn't any way to reset the fights like in FFRK, right? The couple of times I've force closed trying to save a bad fight it took me right back to where I was and not at the beginning like in FFRK.
Maybe with airplane mode shenanigans, but yeah, the game isn't as S/L friendly. And in my experience, it leads to losing arena attempts, too.
Arena actually was the only place it worked for me(found out on the goddamned ADV S-4 ice dragon boss); even with airplane mode it seems like the game locally saves your battle progress in most fights.
This doesn't always work but sometimes you can make the game freak out a little and reset a fight swapping between android and ios. Never really messed with it myself.
The game seems to only record your turn after everyone has taken an action. If you leave one unit on standby while the other 5 chain, for example, you can quit and redo the turn to correct your chain.
I did this often during the tactics event when my repeat button would Fuck up the blizzard chain.
And arena done. Last 2 bosses need a couple tries since they both decided to one-shot Lenna first turn. :<
Not sure I'm looking forward to farming blood swords.

Adv A-2's Boss is pulling some BS- Iai Strike keeps killing everyone :/
