Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius (Smartphones)

[Prothescar]

XIII event seems like shit to farm.

[arus2001]

Yeah, definitely need more characters. Lightning not counting sucks, too. Pulled Sazh, but he's not gonna be impressive anytime soon.

Edit: Just ran into a metal gigantaur on 2nd round of the hardest difficulty. It's damage resistant like the one in that trial, so might be wise to carry dark vessels if they work. Was some emote about running away, but I managed to kill it 2nd round. Gave some decent gears, so they're pretty much this event's metal gods, it'd seem.

[Deathbringer]

Lightning -might- get the bonus once the 2nd XIII banner comes out. These bundles also look lame too.

Edit: unleash the Bladeblitz in arena!

[Alkar]

Yeah, Light will get the bonus next week alongside Fang and Hope. It's silly that she doesn't now but ok. I'll probably need to swap some of the XIII units in, assuming I can pull them (Kain blessed me with his presence today...).

WoL with bladeblitz and the petrify staff/blind sword seems to be my MVP this week.... feels weird benching Pecil for him

[Coren]

I don't have a WoL. He and Miyuki are my 2 remaining white whales that I'm hunting. They're among the only 3 or 4* base I haven't seen (also haven't seen gaff or xiao).
I did get a gold zidane this morning, so there's that at least (total 3 zidanes, 1 gilgamesh, luneth for dual wielders). And another golbez and another roselia. And the complimentary shadow. This game really wants me to have meteor. On all of my characters.
I'd like vanille and snow for TMs, but ugh. The units themselves are so bad, and 4* to boot.

[DFJS]

Damn was hoping that Chakram for gears would be nice for cod only to see its for a unit not in the game yet. Still haven't beat flower yet.

Same thought I had go through my head as soon as I saw barrage was out. lol
Yeah this event doesn't feel very good to farm. At least a lot of the stuff they are trying to hoist off are not worth the effort.

EX: why the fuck would you buy MAG+10 or ATK+10

[Coren]

This event is beyond terrible. I knew it was bad earlier, but I had my hopes up it would be similar to karma where after you get a unit or two, with a +% carry unit (Elza), then add in occasional metal gods, it would be tolerable.
But no, this event is just atrocious. The rates are shittier, there are no available +% carry units (elza is a boss, snow/vanille/sazh blow chunks), the cactuar rate is half the god rate, gives half the currency, and only shows up one at a time (instead of up to 3). And then to spit in your face you practically have to carry a damage item with you to kill it before it runs off (or explodes or whatever happens to it). My OP group was going to take 2 turns until my 800atk gilga friend 1shotted it.

The way it is currently set up, it will only take me ~2500 NRG for the first moogle, or ~6k for the second one. What the fuck? At these rates it's barely worth it to farm gigantaurs. Which sucks balls; I'm so tired of xping right now (gilgamesh 5->6, exdeath 4->6, buttz 4->6, cecil 4->6, agrias 4->5 are my current projects...... gilga is 6* lvl 70, exd is 5* lvl 40, cecil is 5* lvl 40... others haven't been touched).

[Karbuncle]

I was really hoping this wasn't going to be another "If you don't have these new units get fucked fgt" event... if this is what all farming events are going to be from here on out this might kill the game for me :\, I actually enjoyed the farming events as one of the better time spenders I had in this game.. but the tedium of getting 1/5th of the rewards as the old event unless I bring 5+ Synergy characters? not fun.

[Teryu]

I really hope this new trend of vastly increasing shit events doesn't continue. Forcing people to use lapis to pull shit characters that they might not even get is absolutely retarded.

[Karbuncle]

Useless characters no less...

[Coren]

I refuse to use lapis on pulls aside from dailies. I had a couple tickets left over, and figure I'll buy a couple with gears during the event. But I'm not dropping an 11-pull on this shitass banner.

As an aside, I hit the "jackpot" by rolling with a friend Snow and getting a cactuar. Woooo ~1300 gears. /sarcasm. This sucks (compared to my best "jackpot" in karma event with friend elza plus 2 of my own serias, then ran across 3x metal gods; raked in 12k+ from that one round).

[Auspice]

Apparently it's because in JP this was an earlier event like the FFT event and that's why they are both horribly grindy; it was before they eased up on it.

That said; Gumi actually INCREASED the cost of King Mog items over JP for no known reason, which makes things even worse.

This event and the associated lapis bundles are miserable.

I got Sazh on my half price daily and am going to level him up just as a companion unit to try to help people out but IDK how much farming I'm going to do here; it's just fucking miserable.

[Karbuncle]

As sad as it sounds I'll probably just get the metal cactaurs to ease up on the 3 6*s I've got coming up (Ex, CoD, Buttz) and call it a day.

If I'm bored I may try to farm the 30k moogle but I don't think I'll have the willpower for it

Also. I don't know much about FF13 I really thought that Saint thing was a body armor and was excited for one good thing to come out of this event. Nope, it's a H2H. Not one serviceable item from this garbage except a Moogle

[arus2001]

That said; Gumi actually INCREASED the cost of King Mog items over JP for no known reason, which makes things even worse.

I can only speculate because global has more whales for them to sucker.

Admittedly, did an 11 pull from my BF deal hoping for some more bonus units. Got a Snow and 2 more Sazhs. Like others, I'll just target the cactaurs and perhaps the TM, but otherwise I'm fairly ehhh. Lightning unlocking will make things a bit more palatable, but even running 2 units, a 95 gear run nets maybe 120 bonus. That's 140 runs for the 30k moogle, cactaurs not factored.

[Alkar]

At least we get 5 extra lapis from daily? (lol)

[Starby]

This event is garbage. I'm going to attempt to get all the star quartz, cheap 6* materials, cactuars, and the tickets(Except the 6k ones, fuck that).

I had back to back cactuars earlier, with a Snow companion each time. I made more gears in those two runs than I have all day.

Also, the bundles suck, though that's not really a surprise or anything new. /end rant

[Starby]

On another note, this weeks arena is great. I swapped Refia back into my team to heal CoD who's using Dual Weild Darkside for 1998 damage + Poison from Thorn Mace. I'm still running WoL with Golem Staff for the Petrify chance on Bladeblitz, but it's not as much of a crutch this week.

[Cream Soda]

wow, I always just defaulted to barrage for CoD and now that I can't for arena this week, I started using Aura ball.

Shits on mage teams and whms/Cecil

Silence rate is pretty damn high (and attack down for phys teams) it's a win win all around. I don't even think I'm using CoD as offense anymore, even when I get barrage back, lol
