Same, I was laughing because it was the very last Maria co-op I had to do and it happened to be randomly with someone from BG ^^
No worries, it was fun! :D
Still, I'm glad they're nerfing the amount of tokens needed for co-op rewards starting with Seph. The Palom and Maria co-ops have been really hard on my time.
Vivi EX!
He's so adorable and his buffs are great! Can't wait <3
I think I've seen 1 or 2 BGers in coop total. I know I use Silenka all the time as my friend unit though.
I stopped capping my characters after irvine because i didn't want to grind cycle quests because they are the literal worst. This new event isn't much better for crystal farming but at least we get armor tokens from it. Do cucle quests become more efficient at some point? Also what happened to the 2x cycle quest rewards for this chapter release?
2x cycle quest rewards are sporadic and don't always happen with chapter release.
Eventually, we will get endless cycle quests - it still rotates by day, but you can run it as much as you want, so you can really just stick it on auto all day. And it will include the Kactaurs, which give increased drops and xp.
I imagine we might even get endless cycle quests after this introduction to Kactaurs is over...but maybe not that early? Who knows with GL.
Finished Ch. 10 and HM, did another 2 5k gem pulls in hopes of Quisty's 15:
2/11: Serah 15 dupe (2/3), Vivi 35 dupe (1/3)
2/11: Quisty's 15!!!!!, Quisty's 35 (2/3).
Hoarding all gems for Lilisette/Jecht/Alisaie. Gonna hoard tickets after Sephiroth.
Grats Rob! I've been throwing a few tickets a day trying for Quistis and I've got two Serah now to show for it. I'm at 75k Gems and 620 tickets saving for Lillisette. It's great comfort seeing that the new difficulty tier that just released on JP(Level 150, called Cosmos iirc) has people clearing it with Lilli. She's going to have great longevity.
Tried the current banner for a chance to get closer to MLB lightning 15 and Tidus 35. Got a rem 15 dupe when i've already maxed her dagger out. It's now time for me to ignore every banner coming up barring maybe Rydia for the sole purpose of Lilisette.
Vincent is pretty good with Lightning. He's slow so they don't compete for turns, and he lowers the lightning resistance of enemies.
I know it's probably all RNG but I've seen 8 kactuar in the low level quest compared to 2 in the high level one.
I've just been autoing it while packing for a camping trip. It's mindless but at least it's an easy grind.
Does that Maria Glitch thing still work? I'm getting hammered by them this time around. It's probably because Lion is my only real debuffer and she needs some LBs on her weapons. I'm assuming that I can glitch one of them and then leisurely take down the other?
I'm pretty sure that was patched.
You can glitch both and (as far as I know) it hasn't been patched. I tried it when people claimed a patch had been issues and it worked so give it a try. I suggest bringing a Sazh friend and buffing before summoning on Round 4 if you don't have your own so you can get some extra damage in.
It definitely still works.
I feel kinda bad cheesing it with a stacked roster.
YES!!! 2nd ticket of event got me Sephy 35! Also ticket #9 got me dupe Sephy 15.
Also fuck this Sephiroth EX fight, manikins are super goddamn tanky and Ramza buffing Sephiroth = instant death.
This is another fight where Galuf is king.
I tried with Galuf (0LB 35), Eiko (MLB 15+35) and Tidus (0LB 35) and didn't have enough dps output. Only 1 Regen used in the lead-up to Seph, but ~90 turns to get there. Tidus debuffs are fantastic on these guys, but my Tidus is too weak so next time I'll be bringing a stronger dps (Prishe or Vaan prob). Kuja friend was no good, since you want to burn them down one by one (bringing Vaan next time). When using Galuf, the only abilities that can hit him are Black Materia and Heartless Angel, so best to kill Seph > Zidane > Ramza.
