FF:BE - A Skinner box with plot

[Delain]

Most useful unit BY FAR in this first batch is Wilhelm.

I totally didn't see his name on the list, even though I believe he was listed first. I was absolutely and unashamedly looking for Tidus, and nothing else mattered. Willy made me much happier with this batch.

[Yuri-G]

Went through 30 more tickets today trying to get Rena. Beatrix #2 and Fayt #3, oy vey.

7* Beatrix meta hooooooooooo

[dasva]

I'd love any 5* from this banner. Big fat 0 atm. Really want Rena but it looks like i'm waiting until the event comes back with their 7* I aint got shit.

Don't worry all I've gotten so far is 1 Roddick. Though I've only been doing 1/2 daily pulls because saving for something more excited. Would at least like to get Fidel for the free unrestricted 40% atk

[Cyn]

I have 5 of the fucking 4* dude and no rainbow units lol.

Service announcement:

Most 7* get mediocre buffs at 115 and slightly-less-mediocre buffs at 120, plus the respective stat increases from levels.
It takes 10 maxed kingtuars to get to 120.
Or you can get 6 units to level 110 for the same amount of XP (or use 12 moogles and get them each to ~112). So it may be worth getting a few units to 7* as the buffs are pretty significant along with new skills, versus a single maxed unit.

For me personally, I'm probably going to max Olive on day one, and then get a few other 7* ready to go (TGCid, Luneth, maybe DFina and Marie) but leave them around 110 and wait on the next batch.

I thought this should be brought up again, because there's some really good points here everyone should consider.

Examples, I'm going to be awakening Ramza, Orlandu and Wilhelm. I only need to get Ramza to lvl 110 for his important skills (W-Break, HP Barrier). Orlandu can be safely be left at lvl 101 for a while IMO, as the finisher type moves you get and sub par passives don't add much of anything to his kit(his lvl 120 mod bonus to DR is good, but not gameplay changing for him). However, he gets 50% ATK, an LB Upgrade and 30% TDW just from being lvl 101 and equipping his TMR. With Wilhelm, he gets some good passives at max level to bulk him up and his 105/110 skills are neat, but I don't think they're too important for current content. He gets good passives and AoE cover just from being lvl 101 and using his TMR.

TL;DR
Look up your units you will be pumping up to 7* and see what skills they get at what level. Some of your 7* units might get huge upgrades just from being lvl 101 and having their TMR. Don't be disappointed if you can't max level any of your 7* units right away.

is Iron Giant as easy as it looks? something something evade something breaks something burst from 50%?

More or less IIRC. If you fail to burst him down, you'll likely wipe from all the threshold attacks. Don't let your breaks slip either, Meteor can ruin your squishies.

[dasva]

When I did it actually somehow barely missed taking it down all the way but was able to kill on the following turn. Thresholds suck though but manageable with para resist

[Yuri-G]

got him to 20% and nobody died. but I fucked up; stacking abilities lose their stacks if you defend. did not know that.


I'll try again later. if I don't delete this godforsaken piece of shit game first. which I probably won't.

Game has been so far: Oh, I can login today through data! Next Day: Only through Wifi Feelsbadman. Next Day: I can login through Data! etc, GDI.

Also did the last raid 4* ticket and got a rainbow! Got Rena!..... I need to look her up, but I do already have LM Fina so...... Not sure who wins lol.

[dasva]

Fina should usually win but Rena has some nice utility and having a 6/7* with silence type ability for once is nice and shares some Ayaka stuff too. If you got a Lila those fists are pretty great

[Alkar]

If you have a unit ready to cover Reraise and AoE Raise then Rena is the better option of the two. Otherwise go with Fina.

[Robertfb]

I might do both, the only buffer I have is Soleil, so Rena could take over as buffer.

[dasva]

Well full 25k step up banner. I knew those lapis bundles were a trap lol. Here's hoping I can get back up to 25k

If you do get enough for the full lap, gl on getting 7* for Squall/Rinoa/Both. It's really nice they 100% give you one of the 2 if you complete the step up.

[Zealot]

Is it just 1 pass of the step up or 3 total like in the past?

[Alkar]

3 total. Step ups are different depending on the banner: King Mog events have the full price steps with 3 total, Story events have the 11k step up but can only be done once. This won't change until CG Akstar's banner.

[Zealot]

Oy vey. I need some more lapis.

Meh I have until they bring these to 7* to randomly pull another and TMR is pretty solid to begin with anyways

Banner doesn't say I'd assume 3 like the other 25k step ups.

[Alkar]

Squall and Rinoa are 7* already
