War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (Android/iOS) - Tactical RPG - 2019

[Aelfinn]

Got him on pull 1.

We all knew it was coming. Got shit for Visiore sooo.. gonna wrangle up 6k before the event’s done. Need..200 shards to get him to LB3, right? 40 > 80 > 120?

is LB3 the max we can expect to get these limited units to?

[arus2001]

If you wanna spam refresh the shop you can probably get higher, but that's whale territory.

[Jinn]

got him on my 17th pull :/

Edit: And those were x10 pulls, 2k Vis a piece. much needed spheres and dupes on vision cards/unit shards for several people. I can post all the screenshots here if anyone wants to see everything I ended up getting?

[Karbuncle]

I dumped 4 10x Summons on Oldmando, Did not get him, in fact 0 UR's in total. I expected as much.

[BerenTebogo]

Got englebert and orlando in 2 10x pulls and have him LB2 working on buying out the mog shop shards for him over the coming days. I will probably throw a few more 10 pulls at him if I dont get another copy from free.

Don't really have rainbow crystals for englebert so he gets sidelined.

[Vagrant]

No Orlandu in nine pulls but did get Gilgamesh and Ramuh

[Azat]

Did 5 pulls, no Orlandu but did get the vision card and another Sterne.

Dupe orlandu get. Should mean I get LB3 out of this nonsense by the end.

[Ayn]

If anyone is on the fence about this game, try it out again. I’s actually really generous, and I’d argue you probably only need like a few hours per week (maybe just doing dailies and missions) to keep up easily. Most notably, NRG items are given to you daily and I haven’t really run out of energy that much unless I farm all day. There’s always something to do and something to farm. In FFBE, running item world trials, raids, then just simply waiting for NRG to fill up was tedious but not here.

I’ve been getting into arena (since there are decent rewards), and my team is Etre, Ayaka, and Frederika. It’s been working out really well.

The free units so far are pretty decent. I never bothered leveling up or using Mont since I had Engel, so all my Earth materials went to Etre (also her TMR has +3 AGI which is pretty decent).

My setup so far (I swapped in Etre and I’ve been enjoying her a lot).

Spoiler: show

I set Etre as a tank, and she counters other Frederika’s pretty well (also she can take magical hits better than Engel and Mont).

Frederika I used the Agility and Luck Trait, and the +1 Range and Accuracy (I don’t know how bad the evasion down is on Concentrate but I prefer making sure I have enough evasion since I managed to get clutch evades on Frederika, and that’s why I went with Ranger Lore over Concentrate in Arena).

Since you can see your opponent’s match ups, I only try to pick opponents I can counter with my setup.

The arena rewards aren’t too great but it’s something extra if you have nothing else to do, and plus you can get at least +100 Visiore per week if you do decent enough (any higher is basically whale territory).

As for regular content, I decided to go with Frederika, Phoebe (she has a really good TMR and for a SR, she has one of the best combination of jobs and abilities in the game), Little Leela (her magic resist is actually really high and I want to try her out for Arena later), Shadowlynx, and Etre.

Phoebe, Little Leela, and Etre can all be hybrids which is something I want to experiment with. I have a Mediena at 40 (she’s actually still my second strongest character despite all my others being 60+), Ayaka at 55, and Frederika is maxed Awakening and on LB3 and near LB4.

I’ve got really fortunate with pulls (Frederika is paying off a lot) but despite that, I could trade Frederika for Y'shtola or something and go for a pure MR and below team. So unlike FFBE (so far), you can actually build a strong team with the free units they give you. There’s is a huge stat difference between UR and MR (apparently a Mediena at level 60 has about the same Magic and Damage output as Y’shtola at 99) but the differences in abilities and passives (and also when you get Resonance up with Espers and Vision cards) make up for that difference.

Match Battles so far has been more whale territory (been getting match up with teams of 80+) though but you still get good rewards even if you don’t win.

The downside of this game is there is no guarantee pulls or step ups or anything. If you really want a particular unit, you may definitely not get it (especially if it’s limited).

I’ve been looking at the character list at https://altema.jp/ffbewotv/charalist and I think I’ll save for Kitone and Salire (the little sister girl in the story). Movement and Jump make a huge difference in farming some stages. If you have Shadowlynx, she’s actually one of the best MRs (she has around +60% in Attack Passives which means that she can get enough Attack to match a UR in stats). If you have only Shadowlynx or something, it’s not bad to invest in her.

Salire is a MR but apparently one of the strongest mage characters (plus I like her in the story so far), and Kitone is a UR Ninja which would be useful in farming stages where the enemies are spread out.

I haven’t bothered pulling in FFT banner, and the power difference between the FFT characters and non-FFT characters do not seem that different (while Cid is top tier, he’s still about the same level as Mediena or something for example). So far, it’s not like the difference between when Esther came out in FFBE vs other characters (Esther was insanely OP when she came out last year, and her 6 star form was stronger than all other 7 star damage dealers, and her 7 star form dealt as much damage as several 7 stars combined), so that’s why I’m skipping this banner.

Anyway, if you are the fence about this game, it seems to be pretty generous so far. The story and characters are something I’m invested with, and it’s entertaining enough so far. The QoL Updates like quest auto-repeat (and more like auto battle ability selection) is also nice.

Updated my info on the spreadsheet.

[Jinn]

eyyyyy someones using the sheet!

so to update, 17 TGC pulls resulted in
TGC
Yerma
Robb
1 Ramza pull gave me me Ramza.

using the 1700medals to buy shards for TGC and I'm refreshing as often as I can remember but I think I'm getting shit luck in the shop. I'm almost to lvl4 and when I start farming event currency I should be able to put a dent into lvl5. Just hoping I can buy enough to get him maxed out.

[Ayn]

Godspeed, Jinn.

I'm sure you got enough shards to probably LB5 some MR units, too.

[Myra_FFBE]

I’ve been looking at the JP Tier List and noticed they put Grace as third best healer. Grace has innate 15% resistance to all damage types (except damage types that ignore resistances) and she has 30% resistance specifically to magic. You can also combine that with other resistances (Esper, Vision Cards, and Equipment) and she can reach a high resistance to a damage type.

Seems neat, so I have put her in my farm party to build Esper Resonance just in case I can find a good team to put her in.

Also, Sage’s Hat apparently can get Evasive type which gives the hat +18 max evasion.

The type you get seems random on craft. I got three vitals instead of the evasion one.

Finally, they said to use HP Hammers instead of the others (if the HP stat is low enough to easily max it with hammers that is). MR items get +5 total stats allocated randomly, and if you max out a stat then the level up stats will go to whatever is available. Since HP Hammers give +15, they are more effective to use assuming you can max out the HP completely on the item you want to level.

(New Post Here on Crafting)

I’ve been enjoying Etre a lot. I’m thinking of trying to make her an evasion tank (especially for arena). Etre has natural +10 Evasion, and since she is Earth, she counters (and can solo) Frederika (the current meta unit that has a powerful guarantee hit ability aside from Ayaka which most people haven’t been able to max yet).

Etre has half the damage output of most units but she is absurdly tanky. She has more mobility than Mont and Engel, and can rush an opponent more easily. Though, Etre needs max esper resonance and a maxed out weapon to be really strong. Personally, I actually enjoyed Etre a lot in her story (and I like her design too), so thats why I ended up using her (plus her Shards are free and her TMR is decent for AGI).

Esper Resonance is really important (especially if you are using MR and below), so make sure you check the Esper Stats and Abilities on each of your characters. Siren (for example) is more of a tank oriented Esper (her resistances) for magic users than Shiva or Ramuh (for examples).

It apparently takes 100 battles (regardless of NRG spent) to level up Esper Resonance.

I have also been enjoying Phoebe. Phoebe is like a budget Ayaka since they both have relatively high HP and AGI and both can act as hybrid damage dealers or healers. Just some stuff in case this helps anyone. Personally, I have a full UR team but I have been enjoying experimenting with MRs and below. All my resources (Rainbow Spheres) went to Frederika and Ayaka, so I haven’t leveled up any other UR past 40 (unless it’s through LB).

Kitone is apparently the next banner after FFT (should be two weeks from now as it seems new unit banners are every two weeks), so I have been saving for her too.

Anyway, just some random stuff in case this info helps out anyone.

[MisutoVapira]

Look at that resplendent bastard.
Pulled with the free visore.
Now to start the process of upgrading this effin expensive unit.

I'd like TG Cid, but my luck so far has been frustratingly good. With awakening materials being such a massive block, I'm finding it hard to include other units into my awakening plans. I've got:

6* LB3 Sterne, almost ready to LB4
6* Frederika LB4, LB5 once the final 5 free login shards are available
6* LB5 Gaffgarion
6* LB4 Mont, almost LB5, sitting at 189/200 shards
5* LB5 Y'shtola, pretty much back burnered due to lack of azure orbs and rainbow thoughts
5* LB4 Engelbert, only 31/200 shards towards LB5, and rainbow thoughts being the block on 6*ing him

Beyond them, I have multiple I've worked on to some degree that I'd like to build up more. I have Rairyuu at 4* LB3, a newly pulled Xiza from the free daily 10 pull, 4* Margritte who hasn't been touched in weeks, Shadowlynx who hasn't been touched yet, and a newly pulled Mediena from a few days ago. I've gotten other URs that I'd like to play with some day, but they're not considered to be good, such as Robb, Oelde, and Aileen. Pulled a Gilga recently too, but won't be touching him.

Add in the difficulty in splitting your materials between units and cards. Urg. XD I've got multiple MR and UR cards I'd like to awaken, but the orbs are just too tight to do so. The material block is really hitting me. I'd like to create a full dark team, as Gaff, Sterne, Ryu, Shadowlynx, and Xiza could all chain dark slash attacks, jacking up the chain mods. Add in Xiza or Ryu using steal time to keep a heavy boss unit's CT down, it feels like it's be a great team to build. Shadowlynx or Xiza could also be built as an evasion tank to draw hits to keep the others safe.

Beyond that, I've been awakening and LBing all of my N, R, and SR units (no MRs due do azure orbs being in short supply) to earn the rank up missions, then using the chocobo expedition to get them to 40 for their mastery quest. There will be content in 2-3 months called towers where you can use an unlimited number of units per day, but the only caveat is they must be level 40+. Getting some junker units that can body block for other stronger units feels like a good investment with them. Plus, some may actually end up useful with minimal investment.

Content wise, Saturday and Sunday all energy and refreshes are thrown at gil turtles, with multiplayer enhancement event being the go to beyond that. Such massive value from that event. You get lots of books, exp cubes, adamantite, and vision card eggs. Seals also drop kind of uncommonly, but there's no real known value to these, other than if you're enhancing a max level weapon, you may as well use them. Even if you don't have immediate plans to create one of the weapon types from the event, I'd highly recommend grinding that event hard.

BG guild has some open slots too, not sure if there are plans for them or not, but if anyone is waiting to get in, might be a good time to speak up.

[arus2001]

Yeah, pretty much need some volunteers, but can understand if the side guild doesn't wanna gimp itself going understaffed.

Anyway, I wish MP wasn't such aids. What should be 2m fights turning into 5m+ affairs with loading times, disconnects, waiting for people to confirm, etc. can get right the fuck out. Just trying some on Discord the other day was a pain.

[Malithar]

Yeah, multi can be rough. I go through a dozen rooms that are one and done due to someone going afk. There's almost always someone who seems to be playing on a 1 bar 3g connection or wifi cutting in and out or something, easily doubling the run's time. When you find that room that just clicks, everyone has a good connection, auto/1.5x speed enabled, decent to strong units to clear it quickly, and everyone is on the ball when the fight ends to requeue, and the host runs dozens of runs - just bliss.

I'd be down to host some rooms and cycle host with BG people if anyone is down. I have no experience joining private rooms, I just hop in random public rooms.
