FF:BE - Need One More Thread for STMR

It all sounds pretty good and reasonable so a lot of people are waiting for the other foot to drop. I think the best part though it puts to rest the people saying we'd definitely be able to fully UoC summonfest. Prism though is still a good step in the right direction and kind of goes to the entire point the UoC system was needed in the first place

Not sure where but I think I saw a recap that said the changes for new units would be all and there basically isn't a summon fest.

Looks like Chair Rain isn't getting upgrades so not sure how much hype their will be given all our glex powercreep.

Also something interesting not in the news but some users have found. It seems under buying lapis there is an option for "free" lapis which involves uploading other mobile games and hitting some milestones. Seems really hit or miss on who actually has this option though... and the whole thing seems questionable on if it's worth it as a time sink

So said fuck it and did old Halloween step up. Actually got my first Pertira lol. Lassy #1/2 and GLS #1. Of course the regular 5k got me nothing but the coins I needed for prism. Not bad though sad didn't get either the ones that just got enhancements. Now to decide on using coins to get GLS to 7* or to use them to get lassy prism and get another one from trust coins to get STMR... or wait I got my old Lillith could get her prism hmmm

**DFJS** · 2019-11-06 22:16

Can't decide who to prism either. Dracu Laswell, GLS or Lucius.

**dasva** · 2019-11-06 22:22

If they'd actually put all the halloween units up for trust coins would be easier... like wtf only lassy/rain?

So new Glex material...
Ruler's Might [Materia]
Increase equipment ATK by 50% when armed with a single weapon
Increase Accuracy by 25% when armed with a single weapon
Increase LB damage by 30%

And looks to be in one of the bundles

**Patriarch** · 2019-11-07 09:17

25k got me

Jecht#1
CG Rain x2

7* rain is neat, but 3 rainbows for 25k is a bit rough

**Malithar** · 2019-11-07 10:26

Bad break. I did two of the 5k 9+1+1 summons and got 3rd Squall, 6th Zarg, 2nd Ignacio, 3rd Yuraisha, and 1st AK Rain. The free 10+1 also gave 5th Sieghard and 6th Wilhelm.

It's worth noting that the reduced rainbow pull list does not apply towards guaranteed random rainbows in steps up and such, at least for now. People seem pretty split if this is a mistake or on purpose. The full rainbow list is clearly included in the rates for them.

That said, here's the reduced rainbow list. There's a few included that prolly shouldn't be, namely Fryvia and Olive, makes me wonder if they'll get a rework like other GLEX did, or if their latent abilities will propel them back to usefulness, like JP's did to Shadowlord and Dark Knight Cecil. The only other inclusion that I wish wasn't is Citra. She was actually removed in JP.

Spoiler: show

**dasva** · 2019-11-07 11:52

Out of Lapis pretty much so not pulling with lapis but ex ticket today got me first OKR and the free 10+1 got me 4th Folka and 4th A Fry just in time to run those STMRs in IW.

I'm of the opinion the guaranteed rainbow is on purpose. It's always not considered banner and had rates reflective of just being a 5* ex

**Nitsuki** · 2019-11-07 13:45

Unfortunately, this game is now dead to me, thanks to Last Cloudia, but i’m officially tired of Gumi’s bullshit. While the recent changes are positive, feels a little too late. Just blew my lapis and got nothing but golds, just... fuck this. Lol just gonna do my daily logins for November.

**Ayn** · 2019-11-07 22:31

Got Chair Rain on a pull, so yay.

How's Last Cloudia?

**dasva** · 2019-11-08 01:17

This has got to be the easiest bonus stage ever. Pretty sure Kartens can one shot each one with just an imbuer for support lol

**Patriarch** · 2019-11-08 06:58

did 2 of the 9+1+1 summons

Aerith #2 and 3

the real kicker is, I've spent 35k lapis. and of the 7 10+1 pulls, I only got one rainbow that wasn't Gauranteed

Fun imo, but at the same time, a lot to learn in terms of what to prioritize in your progression. The bg discord epic7 channel now became the last cloudia channel

**Dimmauk** · 2019-11-08 09:56

I have 8 5* select tickets. Is it worthwhile to trade them in for lapis to pull for King Rain?

**Malithar** · 2019-11-08 10:29

I'd say no. UoCing a prism is really strong, trading in over half your UoCs for 10k lapis is pretty meh. I'd hold your UoCs until a more important unit comes out, so you can get their prism.

**dasva** · 2019-11-10 02:19

I'd say it depends. 5 tickets is just .625 of a prism... meanwhile 10k is almost half a lap of a step up. With new rates should average a little over 2 on banner rainbows per lap so 10k would be about .8 units.

And that's not even getting into bonuses from some step ups like 30% tickets or coins to buy prisms or wanting to spend on limited time banners that may have locked rainbows. For example if you did the old Halloween banner + 1 10+1 you would've averaged 3.76 rainbows and a prism of choice for 22k though split between 5 banner may not be good depending on what you wanted

Meanwhile at 1.5k each it comes out to a little lower not counting the bonuses... which I can only assume they had someone do the math on to do on purpose

Either way you got some time so I'd say wait and see if anything really peaking your interest comes up and what kind of value the banners have first

**Malithar** · 2019-11-10 10:42

Maybe it's my "don't use the megalixir" instinct taking over, but when you only have 8 UoCs, enough for a single prism, my sole response is to hold that so you've got your safety net. Cashing them in removes that for months, until you're back to 8.

**Teryu** · 2019-11-10 14:47

Uninstalled again. I thought about how much of ny time this game is eating and i realized it's not worth it considering the amount of time/money i put into it and how much fun (none) i was getting out of it. I know i said this last time but hopefully it's my last time.

I mean really depends on what you got and what you think you'll use. If you're low on lapis/tickets and anticipate the need to immediately 7* in the near future something yeah for sure. Over time though the exchange should win out. And honestly I can think of few reasons to really need to immediately up something unless you are super into being full top meta all the time. Can even do partial if you worried like only do 2-3 so be back up in a month

**Dimmauk** · 2019-11-10 20:51

Should I use the 8 tickets to get CG Charlotte or CG lightning, or save for a unit I don't have?

I just don't know

It depends on your unit list. In my opinion though, I'd prioritize a support (Charlotte) over a DPS unit. DPS are plenty, the good supports, not so much.
