FF:BE - A Skinner box with plot

[Hioki]

11 pull for 2 Joachim and 3 Kupipi, 1 ticket(cause fuck it why not), shadowlord. Think that's enough to pop out the 5* UOC quick enough.

[Coren]

Did 11 10+1 pulls. Got a single Shadowlord, 0 Shantotto (one of the ONLY rainbows I've really wanted for nostalgia purposes), OK#4 (STMR yay?), Eiko #2. Also used a 5* ex ticket for Ace #9 (goddammit) and a 3* ex ticket was DKCecil #7 (goddammit).

Talk about shit luck. Fucking RNG.

Dyer spent over 300k lapis on the ff11 banner. For some reason he decided to take the black bars down for this video. Holy shit, not factoring in lapis from stories and other stuff that 460k lapis he started with comes out close to $2600. Now I'm sure he gets revenue from YouTube but God damn that's alot of money. Should have kept the bars up.

[Patriarch]

Went full rage mode and blew some lapis on the banner

Pulled a shadow lord. At least the rainbow drought is over

[Dimmauk]

Did two 10 pulls and tickets, got 1 rainbow that turned into a Queen...ended up with 3 joachims and bunch of kupipi

Same and got the same. Fucking LOL

[Robertfb]

Threw up Joachim (Traverser Stone bitch ftw) for bonus currency. Farming LGD with 7* 2105 ATK Olive as sole DD, someone posted a setup on Reddit for it where with beast killer, both beast killer from 3* Ifrit, 3* Shiva DEF/SPR down, and imperil, can just barely OTKO Kirin even with his high Lightning resistance. For trash stages, usual immolation blast and raise with bonus unit.

[dasva]

Woot refinished story though still got some quests and explorations and of course Alexander to do.

4 4* tickets, ex ticket, daily 5% and daily 1/2 still no bonus units. Guess going to have to go into my stash a bit

[Epical]

This MK event is 15/10 nostalgia... holy smokes.

[dasva]

Had to give up on the marchenko fight cause his titan shield wont go away. Didn't use anyone with lightning attack at all and after 8 turns of not being able to do shit I said fuck it. Any suggestions. Party was lid, Wilhelm, ayaka, sephiroth and a friend orlandu.

Are you guys going to grind out that 150k UoC ticket? I'd like it but man that's alot of currency to grind.

Use full party? Sure none of them accidentally still have a lightning weapon on?

I did CG lid, Nichol, Lightning, Tidus, Chow, Friend evasion WoL. Ending up being rather overkill in the defense department and Lightning/Tidus chaining were doing the full 50% each chunk if I let them. Took a turn off to entrust the Lid so she could do LB kill and for some reason didn't count so gotta go again

Edit: Round 2 no friend tanks up so grabbed Abbandons Water boi and swapped my Lightning for a Slimy boi. Wow holy hell chaining FD Tidus is amazing... Slimy boi somehow died from the 50% threshold (guess the fixed mp drain thing idk?) but 2 Tidus doing LBs easily took it the rest of the way

[Azat]

What I Hate most about these xi events is I hear the battle theme, which then makes me queue up the xi ost and now nostalgia triggering urge to resub.

[dasva]

Hahaha. So if Ayaka has been your go to arena support/healer and generally person to deal with stop strategies sucks if you enhanced remove stop cause that makes it banned this week lol

[Deathbringer]

sucks if you enhanced remove stop cause that makes it banned this week lol

Glad I decided to NOT enhance that. Also:

Spoiler: show

Well then.....sorry Shadow Lord.

[Patriarch]

I enhanced it. go figure

also seconding the nostalgia triggering. was hoping Kirin would summon the Troup.

but alas, I fired the private server back up and find myself wandering around sky

[dasva]

all you luck sacks. I'm about 20 tickets in and no rainbows and only on banner gold was 1 Joachim. Wanting pulls for nostalgia and Shantotto being one of my favorite vidya game characters aside definitely want to farm this with a real farming team and not a pile of Kupipis

[Robertfb]

I fail at reading. Read the Marchenko guide, thought it said he was immune to breaks and got wiped at 50% when WoL ate cannon and died.

Gonna reattempt without WoL and use Greg for 55% breaks.

Edit: Won it including LB kill after failing 2x more, first because friend DD got confused and killed my healer and buffer....., 2nd because no tank got everyone paralyzed (forgot to gear for it...).

Fuck 40 NRG trial fights.

Edit2: Clutch fight for LB kill, got lucky and last chain took Marchenko from 23% to exactly 1%, thus allowing Tidus to LB kill alone next turn.

[Cyn]

I went in blind when it dropped and got all but the LB kill due to the fact that Marchenko basically couldn't kill my Wilhelm at all (killed my healer on the first round lol). I'll go back for the glasses later I guess.

[Coren]

Ended up using 75k lapis for 1 fucking shadow lord and no shantotto. This shitty RNG is going to end up with me ragequitting one day. At least on the step-ups I'm guaranteed SOMETHING.
Added an offbanner Lila #3 and Ayaka #4 to go with the other useless shit from the day. Hooray?

Better than me I think. 86 3* tickets and 1 1/2 daily at 3% rainbow rate and 5% daily and 4 4* tickets at 5% rainbow rate would net me an average of 2.86 or ya know just the 0 I got. Literally everything except the Joachims became fusion fodder. But hey got ~30 Kupipis so portal charms here I come... and of course my 1 gold and all blue off the 5% streak as well /sigh. Meanwhile other people beating the odds like crazy


Marchenko super easy though. Aside from status which any number of units can give AoE protection from and that 1 single target move nothing it does was really all that dangerous even to undergeared support if you had buffs/breaks on

[Prothescar]

These 3* EX tickets in the daily rewards calendar fuck me up every time

[DFJS]

Saw the rewards for September late last night and said to myself oh boy. Woke up this morning went to reddit and saw all the rage. Looks like it was so bad mods had to step in. One of the posts someone said that Seattle meet up was gonna awkward. Whenever they post a new video on YouTube is prolly going to be downvoted into oblivion.

Disappointment reigns over the global player base atm.
