    If you already cleared a lvl 3 last time then you won't get another gem. If you didn't and still didn't get a gem, than that just sucks. The only one I hadn't cleared was Lico and got her gem. The only thing she managed to do was kill my 8,000 hp Duelmex in one turn one time. But she was quickly dispatched otherwise. I might go after some Serins, but of course I never got a Fennia and of course they are both going up at the same time. Eh.

    Is there a consensus best place for getting healer BB fodder because I'm not sure I've ever seen one listed.

    Never cleared level 3 Cayena before. No gem :(

    The best energy/battles ratio level in the forest area of Morgan is probaby pretty good. I level healer BB by running the second level of the water area in Mistral (which usually gives me one unit per 3 energy, plus 2-4 attack BB raising units). The reason I like using the Mistral levels for BB farming is the xp is very low and I can typically level a unit from level 1 BB to level 3-4 SBB before they hit level 20 (after which the zel cost means it is cheaper to level the unit to the max level before continuing to feed them BB fodder).

    The higher tier dungeons in Cordelica are starting to stomp me, heh. Need more power, but outside of metal parade, leveling is so damned slow... Ugh.

    Current team:

    Kikuri L5 Level 64
    Xenon and Estia A5 Lev 61
    Selena A5 Level 80
    Lorland L4 Level 60
    Lancia A5 Level 77

    Cost 62 of 66

    X&E have by far the highest stats in my entire force. It's a bit silly. If their LS affected light/dark they would be a no brainer for my team lead. As it stands I would have to drop Kikuri to make the most use of it.

    I can evo Lorland immediately, but that would put his cost up another 5. Need an Idol and Totem for Selena and 10 more cost.

    Thinking of replacing Lorland with my Aisha eventually. Or finally going duo light/dark with Kikuri/Xenon/Estia/X&E/and 2 more.

    Ran Lico about a dozen times on Level 3 with no capture. I'm a little pissed about that.

    I did get another Serin though so I'm not that mad.

    God, the Serin dungeon is giving me nothing. Ran it four times already.

    Cordelica is good for some of the more rare Sphere / Synthesis crafting materials, but is actually more difficult than the 3rd world that is available after defeating St Lamia.
    I highly recommend St Lamia / Palmyna / Encervis for grinding Xp/Karma /some fusion fodder.

    Got my first 6* - Kikuri. Had to drop X&E for X, but oh well. Also capped out my chef.

    Did metal parade 8 times in a row (leveled in the middle). Got only one crystal but it was all Kikuri needed.

    Aaand nope. I cant beat a single Battle Maiden.

    I beat the catgirl at the expense of a gem because I need Earth characters worth a shit, but she didn't join.

    Happily scooping up the gems that I could not attain when the Battle Maidens were first accessible. Even with a reasonably strong team I have to manage the final battle to survive. I got an Anima Serin, Anima Lico, and Breaker Bayley for the effort as well.

    Woo, finally got a Vanila on the last time I was going to bother. A 4* one to boot. Might as well try for another Serin for my last vortex mission needed.

  • TeaSpoonTeaSpoon Registered User regular
    Goddamnit. I ran Serin today and I forgot I was 2000 XP short of a level up, so I wasted 50+ energy. I ran Serin another two times, and the second time the game started downloading shit. I'm now looking at a frozen screen. I'm going to have to restart my game, wasting another 35 energy. I'm not happy with this.

  • SkeldSkeld Registered User regular
    I have so many dark units that need the pots to evolve, but of course those never, ever drops for me. Common sense tells me I should run more Serin to get her instead of spending energy on running pots, but I can't help it!

  • urahonkyurahonky Registered User regular
    I need a Fire Pot... I've been able to grab everything but a Fire Pot.

    Isn't Alice one of the more OP units? Melchio looks nice, too.

  • TeaSpoonTeaSpoon Registered User regular
    Should I delete the following units from my inventory? Units: Zegar, Galant, Zephu, Falma, Falma, Zeln, Luna, Luna, Luna, Athena, Alma, Alma, Heidt, Heidt, Mifune, Mifune, and Mifune.

    I've never used them. Well, I used a pretty high-level Mifune for the longest time, but I've replaced him and not looked back. I got the two Falmas from Rare Summon, so I feel really bad about deleting them, but they're just taking up space.

    Thoughts?

  • SchideSchide Yeoh! Registered User regular
    Well, you can fuse them instead of outrighting them, but otherwise none of those units are really worth keeping anymore I don't think.

  • TeaSpoonTeaSpoon Registered User regular
    Does anyone know if they'll get a 6 star form in the near future?

  • ElementalorElementalor Registered User regular
    I could see them getting 6* evo's way down the line.

    Tempted to pull for a Melchio, but I know what my luck is like.

    Surprise Super Metal Parade.

    Also, isn't Melchio NOT one of the current promo pulls? Bad odds if you are aiming for him.

    I really wish the Summon gate would stop giving me fire people.

    I need Earth, Light, and a healer that dies less. High Stripper May and Titania die too much. They need to work on that.

    NO, GAME! DON'T FREAK OUT! NOT WHEN I JUST GEMMED AND DID THE SUPER METAL PARADE! THAT'S 40 ENERGY! FROM A GEM!

    [edit] What the fuck? I didn't play the level. The game skipped the level and just gave me the captured units. Like, I think the game decided that winning was a foregone conclusion and that relieving some of the server load was better than keeping up the pretense.

    Confirmed in this thread. Brave Frontier = Progress Quest.

    Sure.

    Except for the progress.

    Melchio is on the list, he's got his 6* too.

    Let's just call the game Quest Quest, the Quest for Progress.

    BTW here's a nice listing for the buff values of various units. http://appinvasion.com/threads/by-the-numbers-a-guide-to-buff-values-etc.155177/

    The fire arena seems like a fun little thing. You get a bunch of stuff just from participating. Obviously nobody here's going to get the top prizes, but you still get stuff even if you finish within the top 100k, and you get even more stuff for getting to new tiers like the regular arena.

    No freaking idea how someone already has 6k points though. I mean besides gemming like crazy.

  • ElementalorElementalor Registered User regular
    People love gemming for top spots, I think the game has a lot of whales.

    BTW anyone know if there's been any advances in iOS scrubbing? Short of factory resetting your device I mean.

    You gotta get some points first so people can do that sweet sweet farming off you.

    My fire team is pretty janky, but I would have wanted to farm this event since I need frogs. Too bad I'm busy this weekend.

    Okay, I got it. I also had to update my game.

  • KiTAKiTA Registered User regular
    Hit 5 gems. Decided to summon - 4* Anima Tiara.

  • TeaSpoonTeaSpoon Registered User regular
    From those awesomes your posts got... Tiara is a good unit? Because she's been sitting in my inventory forever, collecting dust.

  • Gnome-InterruptusGnome-Interruptus Registered User regular
    Tiara is a good rainbow leader, and a decent healer/blue sub.

    Her 6 star form is also coming very soon, which will push her into a great rainbow leader spot.

    If by coming soon you meant today, then yes.

    Yeah Tiara's pretty good. Great 6* leader skill, best regen heal, Anima's great for her. Level her as soon as you can, especially if you're short on healers.

    I've found that once I got my Il & Mina to 6* with a level 7 SBB and Lancia to 6* with a level 4 SBB, I don't have very many healing problems anymore.

    Hmm... looks like I need to average 3k points a day to get the final rewards from the Fire Vortex Arena.

    Not entirely sure I will be able to pull it off.

    On the bright side, this event makes it difficult for paying players to win. A gem gets you something like an extra hour. You could probably get in the top 1000 just by losing some sleep. My current rank is 3266, and I've just been casually playing. I've missed like four hours worth of points when I throughout the day when I got engrossed in a book or got dinner and forgot to play. And I missed the first few hours of the event. I bet I could get a Fire Bulb if I really wanted to.

    [edit] Actually, now that I think about it, my Fire Team isn't that great. I'll run into difficult opponents in the endgame. And other people will also stay up to play, and they'll have gems to burn. Is Titan Wing Blaze worth the attempt?

    [edit2] You know what? Fuck this noise. It's 4 in the morning and I'm running a fever. I'm going to bed. I've read that Fire Bulbs will appear in future events.
