Some more GL exclusives coming our way for Chinese new year. 2 bundles (a daily one and a bulk purchase one) and 2 new units + 1 awakening: 5* base Chocobo Rider (seems to be a fists-based fire oriented DD), 4* base Dancer (Healing, Debuffs, and Counters?), and a 6* awakening for Xiao.
Xiao prolly has the most potential out of any GL exclusive 6* awakened unit so far.
Let's hope it's not shit like the previous two 6* exclusives. Rider TM is light armor with 52 DEF, 25% fire resist and 30% attack if equipped with a fire weapon.... do want!
Also the event is an exploration one and I'm sure the Ariana collab will still be running for some easy Gigantuars.
Considering that 80 attack Katana is a fire weapon, that armor sounds badass for that.
Got Refia from daily pull. Only major non-5*-base unit that I'm missing now is Cecil
So here's my update after 60 days of playing this game.
Finished Storyline up to Zoldaad - Fire Shrine. All missions 3* clears. Colosseum ADV Cleared. I have 107 unique units (not counting duplicates). Three Lv.100 6* units - Gilgamesh, Lightning, Exdeath. Gilgamesh is nearly capped on all stats. 73/94 Side Quests completed.
So all in all, it's an easy game to play. I turn it on maybe 2-3 times during the day to use up the NRG and Arena Orbs. I don't even stress the randomness of pulls, cause I know I will get them eventually.
TMR Farming is probably my next focus. That and Trials, but I don't feel like I'm ready for "endgame" bosses yet. Probably going to start spending Lapis on inventory expansion. I don't think I need any more units which will drastically change my gameplay.
Daily pull and got shit.
How do you solve a shit pull like Maria?
You burn 3 tickets on the non type 0 rare banner.
First was Krile # I lost count.
Second was Clyne. Oh boy.
Was thinking "Geez, been a while since I've seen a rainbow, but I should count myself lucky I've seen any at all."
Next one's a gold.
Turns to rainbow.
Hopeful for Noct, figure I'll get trolled with another CoD.
Gilgamesh!
Spoiler: show
What's the opinion on the new Lucky Red Packet? I only want the summon ticket from it. Worth it for 350 Lapis?
I have 20k lapis saved up, and 58 tickets already. You can get one red packet per day for 2 weeks so afterwards I'd have 15k Lapis and 72 tickets.
Well, I'd look at it from the perspective of 1 summon being 500 lapis normally, with the other perks then being a factor. So, I guess 50 stamina might translate to about 50 lapis depending on your rank, magic keys always good to have for new areas, with the rest being more situational. I'd say it's worth it if you've got the stockpile.
Finally my streak of Blues is snapped only to get trolled with Vanille.

I'm on the fence about the Lucky Red Packet. The only things of value to me are the energy and tickets, so it comes down to weighing the bundle versus an eleven pull or about 50% on 5 unit's TM. With my luck lately, a guaranteed 4* seems better than a few extra tickets.
If Amazon coins go on sale again, I'll probably buy the big bundle though.
It's 350 Lapis for a free ticket, which unless you're doing 11s constantly or only pull dailies is a 500 Lapis value. The other stuff is fluff. Do it. Stockpile tickets whenever possible. Hell we could even get the ticket 11 pulls like JP have.
Finally pulled Seven!
mfw have over 30 LB pots and no one worth using them on, is there even anyone worth boosting besides Cecil/Garland/WoL/Noctis/Agrias? Already have Agrias/WoL/Garland at 15+
Exdeath and Refia are about the only others we have at the moment.
Cecil's LB is +74% atk/def/spr at max level. I'd put your burst pots there.
He's gotta get one first.And it was on his list.
