FF:BE - Need One More Thread for STMR

**dasva** · 2019-10-22 17:15

Kind of being leaving shit behind for a bit too. Mostly just using up nrg mostly in big chunks and use up orbs

But with no events really going on and 1/2 nrg in chamber I've been clearly them out recently I guess so I can feel even less of a need to do anything lol. Which will probably hit even harder once I finish the last of the trophies.... Just got moon left for content though and planning doing that once this pimped out Christine is back up (fucked up first time not making a unit tanky enough) . Redoing the ones where you have to use different units got annoying as heck though.

**dasva** · 2019-10-24 14:58

So datmine came out and holy heck Karten got a T1 99x chaining move that even gives him extra atk boost first with a 1 turn berserk... and quickly find out doesn't work with dual wield. I mean it's still great but imagine 198x on T1 lol

Still interesting units and been hoarding a bit so did some pulling. Premium... all gold lol. Regular 10+1 ticket 2G/9B. 13 ex and 5 4* ex. No rainbows or banner stuff. 2 5* ex was Oldman #3 and Shadow Lord #2

Well shit guess it's step up time. 2 Laps + got me Karten #1-5, Shera #3, awakened rain #6, Willy #6, Shantotto #4-5, Godrea #1, Circe #5, Barby #4 and prism for Godrea. Well great farming team, the unit I wanted and some good STMRs so not bad

**Teryu** · 2019-10-24 16:19

God i really hope this stupid slot machine doesn't require actual skill or input to get results. I don't want to have to time my button presses and get completely fucked over if i don't.

**Teryu** · 2019-10-24 18:26

How the hell are people 1TKOing even the elite boss? I have 4 bonus units and I can't solo carry my way through it cause none of my units do deal damage or bonus damage to undead without doing light dmg

**DFJS** · 2019-10-24 21:34

So I can't even do the event. Every time I try to enter its greyed out. Have restarted a few times and nothing works.

**Malithar** · 2019-10-24 21:40

For one shotting legend while bringing along four bonus units, you need a finisher of some kind, though Regina and Ignacio are the only two I've seen mentioned. The bonus units need to chain with Pod or something similar for the unit to cap. If you're one shotting, the element doesn't matter, as it just affects the attacks he'll use the next turn. Darkness is certainly preferred due to the innate weakness, but not a requirement. Elite is more easily done with two meta chainers.

Personally, I'm just spamming elite with an Elena and Esther. I'd prefer to do legend, but I lack a finisher that fits the bill really. I did read about a Kaito build that can solo it in three turns, though I haven't dug into that enough to see if I can make it work.

Edit: Tried it, didn't work out, but I'm lacking his STMR. I'm at 95% evade, but a smidgen too low on attack. He gets to 6% then full drains MP. If it weren't for that, I'd have him. :/

Have you tried to restore data from the login screen or reinstall the app? Haven't seen anyone else having this issue, and Reddit usually lights up quick if anyone is having issues. Could just be a corrupted file or something.

**DFJS** · 2019-10-24 22:55

Gonna put in a support ticket. Tried restoring data and reinstalling the game and still cannot get into the new event.

I'm an idiot. Had units in exploration.

**Malithar** · 2019-10-25 03:02

Haha, at least it was an easy fix! I get not noticing that. I hate explorations locking units and gear up.

Concerning elite versus legendary, seems it's best to just stick with elite if you're after efficiency.

There's a fancy table laying it out at the link. Copying it over doesn't play nicely. Each run of elite provides 10%~ more coins per energy and 20%~ more crafting materials per energy, compared to legend, with the same bonus mob %.

**Byrthnoth** · 2019-10-25 06:42

Light megacrysts are the only material I care about . . .

never going to get that ring. (4/9)

2 Kartens (one can be not great and the other doesn't have to be that good either) chaining with Pirate hooker Jake def down can 1 shot. If one of them is pretty good can do it with Jake using their own def down

Of course this will somewhat depend on the plentitude of bonus companions. But of course also depends on if you can kill LGD with full bonus too.

Better than me... 1/9 with like 20 genbu rings already lol. I super missed out starting slightly before last years CNY event. I did farm it a decent amount but lacked teams to farm well and only had some many friends strong enough to carry... plus didn't realize what a gold mine it was for megacrysts. Other note the more recent exploration is pretty good. Can get thru it with on average 1-3 encounters and come out with 6-13 megacrysts per run with it being split between all of the kinds

**dasva** · 2019-10-29 12:43

So heads up for people thinking about the old Halloween banner. The step up leaves you short on getting a prism so have to do another 10+1. Also you know how featured summon also talks about the step up and in that says only the time limited rainbows? Yeah turns out that only applies to the step up you can only do 1 lap of. So if you were thinking well heck can get them on the regular banner... it's .3% for each on banner rainbow

**Cyn** · 2019-10-29 12:49

It's a shame Shadow's STMR is a katana and thus competes with Zeno's STMR and a bunch of other godly weapons, because that raw attack and an AoE stop move is fucking exquisite.

**Teryu** · 2019-10-29 17:05

I did the old halloween step up cause i had exactly enough lapis to do the whole thing. I got GL sakura #3 and D Lasswell 2 and 3, so i bought his prism from the trust shop and I can get his stmr.

**DFJS** · 2019-10-30 21:57

Just did last step up on old Halloween banner. Got quad rainbows. 3 x demon rain (new) and lilith #2. There goes my luck for a really really long time. Before this step up I had 1 dracu laswell as my lone 5* from 3 years of Halloween. This step up got me 1 lucius, 1 grim lord sakura, 2 lilith and 3 demon rain. Probably should have saved for xmas units but I like the Halloween ones better.

**dasva** · 2019-10-31 17:54

Still debating whether or not to do old banner since only enough lapis for the first 2.5 steps right now... but enhancements look pretty good

In other news Karten/Godrea are anywhere from pretty good DDs to the best depending on whose spreadsheet you use. A lot of contention on reddit lol. Looks like they unnerfed the stmr bundle. And yay another cash only banner... though honestly it looks halfway decent at least when you try converting to regular banners and lapis cost... assuming of course you spend cash and can use any of the 6 rainbows that are the only ones that can't drop. Finally got my 30k from event... 5* ticket Aloha #5 <.<.

**Malithar** · 2019-10-31 22:54

That's what I hate about the spreadsheets and reddit, so much bickering over what's best, many don't even bother looking at what the unit as a whole can do, or what other buff/debuff options may do to them. Hell, the prominent ranking uses 100% buffs and 35% imperils. Like wut? Neither of those have been relevant for nearly two years.

That in fact is the major bone of contention in the wiki ranking thread for them. Like wut most new players are more likely have an unit with 50+% imperil than crazy day lol. It's funny how hard people defend it though.

Just summoned 20 gold and 22 blue. I'm I being punished for not spending money on this game?

working as intended. Actually recently found out that those premium tickets give regular 3% rainbow rates despite being at least gold

**Malithar** · 2019-11-05 01:06

Woah at these changes. Got some big decisions when it comes to UoCs.

5% rainbow rate (1.5% featured, 3.5% off banner) across the board.
Summon Fest Prisms are UoC-able for 8 UoCs
Units that were classified as Summon Fest units will be in the Ex banner and available as off banners
Unsure if ALL new units, or only units that were classified as Summon Fest units cannot be UoC'd, only the prisms
Old units prisms can be UoC'd for 8 UoCs as well
Prisms for new units will be added immediately instead of two weeks later
Old rainbows removed from any featured banner, still exist in EX pool - No specifics yet - Assumed to be similar to JP with units prior to about~ the Sworn Six CG units being removed from pool
Free 10+1 for three weeks starting this week
5,000 lapis log in event
UoCs can be SOLD for 1,500 Lapis - The first 5 exchanges are for 2,000 Lapis

That UoC selling feature is an event, but it will come back around periodically. That's pretty crazy, it puts a price on UoCing a unit. Suddenly, I'd question paying 15,000 Lapis for a specific unit. The Youtube vid is almost something magical, it has over 1,200 upvotes with only 33 downvotes. Don't think I've ever seen one of their vids be so popular.

Edit: Reddit to the rescue with a list of units that were removed from JP's pool. Our's will obviously be at least slightly different with all the GLEX units.
