Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius (Smartphones)

[Malithar]

Absolutely, TM is tied to the specific unit. You could have a team of 5 DWing a total of 10 Excaliburs if you really wanted.

[Coren]

I works really like a Cecil or Roselia... got a second Kefka. I guess another ribbon isn't so horrible.

[Ayn]

Thoughts on the new units coming soon? Locke, Hayate and Artemios?

[Malithar]

Locke: Decent TM (limited unit selection) and a unique passive to help mat grinding

Hayate: Meh unit with strong TM physical attacker hat

Artemios: Meh Barrage unit (poor equipment selection) with no future and junk TM

If you have Bartz, Firion, or CoD, Locke's TM won't be a bad addition for them, and he may be a desirable unit for you for grinding (not really worthwhile IMO). Hayate isn't a bad pull if you don't mind the TM grind. Outside of whaling to get a bunch of Hayate hats or wanting Locke to boost a CoD or help with grinding, I'd pass.

[Starby]

I got a 2nd Cecil; can you get a 2nd trust mastery rewards for maxing the second one if you've already maxed the first? Just wondering whether that's a shit pull for me or an okay one.

You can raise them both to 100 and get 2 Excalibur's, or you can raise them to 50 each and fuse them to get 1 Excalibur. Definitely don't fuse them right away

[Coren]

Will there be another alternate weapon for CoD later if I don't want to try for Locke? Obviously the current weapons for her suck balls compared to Murasame or even the chest/craft/quest stuff for other characters.

[Malithar]

There's a club from a trial boss that gives something like +78 attack, 70% poison rate, and man hunter. That seems to be the go to that I see mentioned most often.

[Coren]

Well that's helpful. I wonder how long till we get said trial boss? 25/26 attack on the current "best" weapons kinda sucks.
I guess to give her the best weap, Locke's still the goal. +107 is amazing. But +78 is still a MASSIVE step up.

I still need to roll a mizuki to get the sword, and a zidane for dual wield.

[Malithar]

It's the 6th trial boss so I'd say maybe within 6 months. Compared to JP version we're speeding along, but I dunno if that faster rate will stay consistent until we're caught up. Guess we'll see within the next month or two, events should start rolling out within that time frame.

[Coren]

As with any game, it's easier to burn through content than develop it. I guess we can't expect too much so soon, even if all they really need to do is translate it to English. I may have to drop a couple tickets trying for locke, just so I don't feel like I completely missed the opportunity.

Do you stop getting encounters during explorations after X # of fights? Been wandering around for Abominable Wings for a while now and did 3 full laps in Phantom Forest.

Do you stop getting encounters during explorations after X # of fights? Been wandering around for Abominable Wings for a while now and did 3 full laps in Phantom Forest.

It's X number of fights per area of the map I believe. Like the desert has a north and south spawn table etc. Someone on reddit was breaking it down but I didn't read the whole thread.

[Prothescar]

You get battles up until you hit the XP cap for the zone. Usually 20-25 fights

[arus2001]

Yeah, it's EXP-based. Certain rooms/tiles having specific mob patterns is also a thing, too. The fact you don't know you're capped until you run around for a while is why I'd just like a Mob Call button to trigger a fight. That way, if you're done with the zone, it'll just tell you nothing responds. Plus it'd cut exploration time down a few minutes.

[Starby]

I resisted doing a pull on this banner but decided to throw one ticket at it and got Kefka. I'm pretty happy with that result.

[Classikmage]

Woot, Rain/Lasswell are 80 and Demon Chimera is down! Now to figure out what to use my NRG for. I have Golbez I could level as an upgrade to Shanttoto, but not much in a rush for that right now. I have plenty of workable characters. Maybe I should farm crafting materials for a few missing gear pieces?

[Starby]

Probably start farming for hero's rings,recipie comes from trophies. You'll get magicite for siren and Ifrit from that and once you get them to v2, farm rank if you need.

[Coren]

Go work on beating down the Colosseum. There is some great gear to be had there (including basically all the top-end mage stuff, like your white and black robes, run staff, ice rod, mage's hat, etc). Beyond that, farm mats for awakening units later, magicites, and gear for all your units you want to use down the road (I'm trying to have enough units serviceable for a balanced, mage-heavy, and phys-heavy team, plus a spare healer [kefka, kefka, shantotto, vivi, krile, fina, chiz, cod, vaan, lasswell]).

How many quests are in the game presently? I have 52 completed quests and I believe that's all of them currently in the game. Do the upgraded espers count as quests?

[arus2001]

Feel like I've read the number is either 52 or 53, but either way, the last quest trophy can't be obtained at the moment.

I've just been throwing energy at Lanzelt Summit the past few days, outside of daily quest needs. Building up my max stamina pool is feeling more like a QoL need than powering up characters I'll probably realistically never use. And for the moment, that's sparing me some Hero Ring grinding, but I'm still passively working on those through my daily explorations. Other melee are doing okay with Hyper Wrists.

[Coren]

Why don't you do Demon Chim farm if you don't have 2* espers yet?

I finally got my first Hero ring... Now to get umpteen more. Blah.

I've been using the hell out of mages on my friendlist (they just make life so easy, whether in explorations or in int vortex). Should I leave my shared unit at chiz, or swap to kefka once he's less gimp gear-wise?
