    Lost another arena due to game crash. And I'm sitting on over 3200 arena medals. Methinks I'm done with arena after this month. It's just not worth the effort any more.

    It's actually way worse than that. Most recent estimate is thousands of hero rings. The item is basically a red herring

    Fantastic! /sarcasm

    I'm betting they ninja-buff the droprate then. Gumi seems to be getting better about "fixing" obviously-stupid shit from the JP version.

    Tips on beating the Dreadnought ELT?

    I've looked at some of the other sites and they suggest an all Mage team. Not sure if mine's strong enough though.

    I try rolling with:

    Exdeath (370ish mag)
    Dark Fina (480ish mag)
    Arc (LOL 257 mag)
    Cecil
    Refia

    Best attempt was using Ajax as a friend character. Thinking maybe Arc is the weak link and I should sub him out for someone else, but not sure who.

    Who else do you have to swap in for Arc? Arianna should be better if she's leveled and you got her all her gear. She can Thundaga, or boost mag.

    You could try using my Ling. I have her set up really defensively. She'll help with mp/raising incase of a bad sweep, and can AoE spirit debuff.

    Also, bring smoke bombs to flee from random encounters, tent before the boss, and all the elixers/Phoenix downs/chocolate you can bring.

    You should try doing it with Ling. As long as Cecil and Ling survive the Sweep AoE, it is impossible to get wiped even with two consecutive Sweep. Bring lots of MP recovery potions. Once you are done killing the bombs and the summons, it is over. You just need to nuke down the boss slowly.

    so I started this back when it first came out. thinking about coming back, but wondering if the issues that caused me to drop it have been addressed. mainly:


    - when I first started playing, it was massively grindy. more than normal. a good example would be the gravity rod. have they backed off a bit or is it still as grindy as ever?


    - gacha rates. they were ridiculous. 1% chance for a 5* and even then it might be a 3* base. have 5* rates been upped? and have they fixed it so that pulling a 5* guarantees a 5* base?

    The gacha change that guarentees a 5* pull is a 5* base is this week. If you're coming back, spend some time rerolling this weekend as they're also giving everyone a free 10+1 pull to celebrate 20 million downloads.

    The order of events now seems to come in two phases, grind, and 1 and done. The grindy ones award currency that can be traded in for summon tickets, and exclusive gear. The 1 and dones tend to have harder fights.

    Other than that, there's story mode, which is actually getting interesting, and trials which are the hardest fights imo.

    It's still grindy if you want Trust Mastery rewards, but macros help a lot with that, and gumi has officially stated they don't care about macroing.

    Thanks, Starby. Can I straight-up ignore TM rewards and still enjoy the game? That was one thing I never wanted to bother with. Sounds like this is a good time to come back, in any case!

    I cleared it first try but I kinda brute forced my way through it with couple ExDeaths, deadweight luneth and many turns later. I had Ling tho and she was definitely MVP for that fight.

    Thanks g uys. I will try Ling.

    As for fights, I forgot smoke bombs, but gravitational solved that.

    Will also swap in Arianna.

    I played the game heavily during pre release and a few months after release but dropped it. Picked it up again and have been playing since early Jan. I could use some help clearing some of the harder difficulty fights. Anybody here got room on their friends list for a scrub who is trying to make BE gains?

    I do. Just throw BG into the comment and I'll add you. 917 581 600. Name is Tyon. Running a chizuru as my helper unit atm. Olive and shine looked pretty badass not that I'll get either one.

    Ghaleon, list your friend code. Most of us clean our lists of dead weight occasionally and can add you. I just don't like to keep spots open long because it slows down TM farming.

    A couple others here are around 900ATK on their friend unit, and I'll have Greg around that once I finish his shiny new TM.

    Also, who else is planning to waste a bunch of lapis on a couple shines for that ATK+30%? And shera's not a bad runner up if you're currently full of +10% materia.

    And maybe, just maybe, you'll put that new no-trolls to good use and get an Olive!

    Got My first shiny dual wield tonight. Now my tm farming is 3 miyuki's and 2 Zidane's. That last unit Shera sounds like a lady name but in the description below it says he. Might throw some tickets at this banner. Don't even have a banner unit from this current one yet.

    And if you could just go accept that friend request so i don't waste half the night's TM farming declining to send friend requests, that'd be great :/.
