If you have more people alive than your opponent, then they will end up casting more LBs because all of the LB crystals they generate are split among fewer people, assuming their dead people aren't characters with significant LB generating abilities.
He also got some upgrades in JP recently, though that's moot for us for the time being. They help lift his 5* base status and rank up a bit among the existing units a considerable deal, with his Passive becoming incredibly useful since it equalizes all of the weapon types.

How does six hit -> twelve hit but still 3x damage work?
Even if the solo damage is the same, having more hits means Twin Genjis are easily going to get their hot 3x chain damage sex party rolling and everyone's invited.
Ugh finally got Maxwell with the Diabolos. Killing him wasn't a problem before, just getting the orbs for the esper and his weird turn changing mechanics if you get him to threshold on a Sacred Song/Rune barrier was really messing me up.
I also charged through the story this weekend to get to Kolts so I could buy a black belt and make some SPR 10%, but I don't think those helped much. Didn't get anything from the black belt counters.
All in all, much PTSD from the original BF Maxwell fight. I'll go for the 15% dark resist next, but will probably skip the karma.
Bunch of tickets/draws and dailies on BF banner gave me Seria and Karl so getting karma isn't really a problem.
I'm still really really hurting for a Refia and a Tilith. Blew pretty much everything I had trying to get them. orz
I feel like if I put Refia and Cecil in the same party I'm kinda killing the point of Cecil. I know he's a tank/healer but really he doesn't do any good melee damage. I swapped out Tellah for CoD (now that I have her up to level 93) and it's made the hardest event level a lot easier... I still can't bring in a useless unit but I don't need to have a buffed out Lightning/CoD to do it.

Refia and Cecil are perfectly fine together. They also allow for flexibility in that Cecil can Curaja, allowing Refia to Embolden when you still need to heal, or Cecil can Curaja when Refia needs to Full-Life someone.
You can never have too many Curajas. I beat Maxwell with 3 Curajas and 6 people still died during the fight.
So any idea what the boss is that will drop that mace? I need to start prepping.
Antonella is a Plant boss with multiple segments, kind of like the ocotopus that has multiple parts. You do not want to kill the main body first, since all of the other parts will explode and wipe you, so you have to whittle each individual part down. There's some status effects like I think poison, sleep, blind, confuse and the like and each of the plant parts have overlapping resistances so only one part of the plant is likely going to be vulnerable to any individual spell.
Unless they buff it, it shouldn't be all that hard, particularly since this Trial is very late for us.

Yeah. A friend whale Lightning/Luneth should be able to obliterate it with AoE attacks.
Cool! I got back up to a 74 streak in the arena and my app crashed. Guess I'll try again next week.
Memu is killing me with that. Aside from Arena, I swear once I go to sleep with the TM macro running, it crashes. Haven't been able to farm that junk in weeks.
When I got to 70+ with my Arena streak I started manually closing and re-starting the app before using my orbs to prevent crashes. Wish I could help with emulator issues - I'm on iOS and macro with Switch Controls.
So I got something to decorate my office and it's FF related:
The background, the Falcon, and the characters are all on separate layers (Falcon about 4 cm in front of background, characters on top of ship) but it's kind of hard to appreciate off a phone camera photo as the 3d effect is more pronounced in person.

I got 3 of them actually:
Where did you get them? I'd pay good money for a Secret of Mana version.

I got it on Etsy. The seller I purchased it from doesn't have any Secret of Mana ones, but I know others do. Search for Shadowboxes, prices and build quality depend on who is making them.
I simply cannot keep up with Maxwell's damage to survive long enough to evoke Diabolos. The fourth turn onwards is a war of attrition I'll never win without a Dual Cast for Refia.
If I had 6* Agrias and 6* Exdeath I might be tanky enough. Just not gonna happen, even after getting the other two Guardian's materia.
Yeah, I haven't got WoL. My only other tank is Charlotte and she's still at 4*. I think not having 2* Golem for Provoke is another big deal.
When Thursday comes along I'll have Cecil, Refia, CoD, Bartz, Exdeath all at 6*. And soon enough I'll feel comfortable burning Lapis on TM farming to pick up a Dual Wield, Doublehand, Dual Cast, 30% MAG and Barrage. Though i suppose I need Barrage less, and should maybe put my other Zidane in that slot?

Definitely replace Barrage with Zidane. You don't have a native Dual Wielder, and the good DPS units are all going to come with a competitive DPS ability to Barrage.

TBF, I really wished I had a barrage TM on my Luneth for this event. Are there any other silly challenges coming up that was benefit from the drop checks?

I think most of the "proper" Trials have some kind of Esper invocation requirement for one of the quests, but they're also very long fights where you're bound to fill up your gauges just by trying to survive. Maxwell was kind of the first proto-version of this, and was very hard specifically since at this point in the game, you would have needed to pull rather well in order to have the support and healing requirement to be able to survive an attrition situation.
finally got my 100 wins. what a relief, now back to always selecting a 1.5 opponent.
You should know that I slaughtered your two Lightnings the other day.
only having wol and lenna while I wait for refia to level up and cecil to get a better lb really hurts.
also, my streak lasted right until the very first arena match today where my opponent got first both turns and had his refia embolden, lightning dual electric blitz and ramza ultima..... followed by almost the exact same thing the next turn.
I almost got the LB mission on Maxwell, but the party wiped at ~2%. I had half a summon gauge.
This was with a party designed to generate as many hits as possible while my ultra Darkbringer Elza whale smashed Maxwell through her scripted events. Really lamenting the lack of Provoke or Dual Cast, it's so easy to lose my 3.5k HP people even when they're geared for survivability.

Wouldnt aoe attacks hit the main body, causing an explosion? sounds like you need to focus down the segments before you can attack the body.
Finally took the time to grind out enough Fire Megacrysts for my first Hero's Ring. In the three days it takes to make I should have enough time to grab enough for another (I already have a stockpile of Water Megacrysts from Maranda Coast grinding). Hooray small accomplishments!
