Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius (Smartphones)

[Starby]

Went through and added tons of you to my friend list finally and marked it off on the google doc.

Also, some of you being Rank 35-40..Jeez, haha. Here I am at Rank 20 and I try to play as much as I can.

Playing since pre prerelease and spamming Ifrit v2 when I don't need exp got me to R40 easily. It's 15 Stam for 500 Rank xp

[Alkar]

Gonna assume Shiva v2 is better given how much the normal gives but... gotta unlock it first!

[Classikmage]

So as far as attack buffs go. Which is more potent? Fina's Cheer, or Cyan's Nonpareil?

[Kainos]

^^fina. Cheer is 40% to attk/def

[Classikmage]

Wow, lol. WTF is up with the S Rank Round 3 Boss Gorgameira? Difficulty spikes from 0 - over 1000!!... Fucking thing resists everything... my 1st group barely got it to 60%, Krile, Shanttoto, Exdeath, Edgar, and Cyan, all maxed except for 77 Exdeath.

So I try using some of my EXP party members. 48 Kain, 51 Garland, 45 Galuf, 64 Fina, and maxed Edgar. Got it to about 25% before Fina ran out of MP and I started praying I could wittle it down fast enough. Wiped at 15%. -_-; I was even getting resist messages on melee attacks... this thing is superfreak...

Elemental resistances are a bitch like that. Being a chimera, it's immune to fire, blizzard, and thunder. Your melees were being resisted because they were likely using Coral Sword, Flametongue, or Ice Brand. You'd be fine with Edgar, Cyan, Shanttoto, Krile, and Fina. Equip Edgar with a basic weapon, and have Shanttoto spam Aero/Stone/Water instead. Krile for heals, Fina for Cheer.

I have vaan but no tank. He has nearly identical stats to leo, including the +20% defense trait. Provoke, cure, and cura can be added via Golem and abilities. Only thing he doesn't have is draws-attacks and cover, and he can't use heavy shields (can use mythril buckler +30 def but not golden shield +38 def). He can wear heavy armor (paladin armor), etc.

Thoughts on utilizing him this way? Am I missing something? I don't relish the prospect of burning tons of tickets trying for leo or cecil (or whatever next tank comes out).

[Akiyama]

So I haven't used a single point in my espers pool for skills or levels ups at all. What should I focus on? :<

My Fina is still 10 levels from Cheer. =(

That's 5 solo runs through the xp dungeon. Do ittttt.

[arus2001]

2 hero rings cooking. Then lol colloseum Europa.

Also wtb a monster call button for exploration mode.

[Coren]

Are hero rings all they are cracked up to be for physical attackers? Chizuru at lvl 80 has 120atk and would presumably get +12atk, barely above the +10 hyper wrist. I guess at 6*, lvl 100 she'd get a much more substantial boost, but there's also likely to be a corresponding +atk item as well. Cloud of darkness would get 11.5 and vaan gets 9.9 from 10% bonus.

Magic is a different story as there are limited options on that side.

Golem and Shiva are the same as Ifrit; 15 energy for 500 rank (33.3 rank/energy). Lanzelt Highlands - Summit is 27 rank/energy and I just auto through it. Lanzelt Highlands, Lanzelt Ruins and Wolfsfang Peak explorations are about 28 rank/energy if you want to do explorations for rank farming for some reason.

[Coren]

What did you guys do to get your espers to 30? I picked up one of the little $.99 bundles just to see... it got my ifrit from 18 to 22. That seems like an asston of farming, or was that "lands of plenty" event *that* good?

[arus2001]

Mine are still on the lowish side, but it's mainly just been red/blue magicite while farming for ring mats. Imagine most R2 people were betaing.

[Coren]

I have an asston of friend points. When should I waste them to try for cactuars? I got lots of turtles last weekend; was that due to event, or just bad luck? Ie, will I be more likely to get cactuars this weekend, and should I save the points?

[Yuri-G]

you should use them now. getting the turtles was bad luck (or good luck, if you want gil)


reason being, the cactuars are part of a friend point event that lasts until 7/18.

[Coren]

So after the friend event, the friend point rolls will only give you shit-tier units? Ewwww.

And I'm assuming the +50 friend points per carry will drop back to +10 at that time as well?

[Zoii]

The drop rate on Gigantuar is really high from dunes, almost guaranteed at least one from each run of advanced. So, I would just save your FP and use it for characters you want to get TM from.
