    Daily pull got me Ludmille #5. With 5 I could knock out a single dualcast in very little time (or two in slightly more time). Maybe I'll do that after Olive is all kitted out.
    ive got three running and it has been pretty fast
    next is adding two lunas to finish my luna barrage tmr
    then I have like five firions so I could do that or I could close out shera because I have drawn 12+ sheras FUCK YOU GAME
    and also I have a lot of gaffgarions
    NO ZIDANE EVER AHHH

    Ring of Lucii get. Seeya, Ramza. You're out of the arena party again. Welcome back, Refia, now with dodge, counter, and her own doublecast nuke.

    Kind of feeling a little burnt out though. Noctis is fully kitted out with the best TMRs I can get for him, and while everyone else in the main (Arena) party has at most two, they're not exactly lacking either. Just feeling pretty well set up for everything up ahead for a long time, and improvements here are going to be pretty damn incremental outside of lucking into 5* bases. This dumb FF Type-0 grind event's not likely to help that either.

    I kind of wish I was in your shoes. My current list is:
    1. Gaff
    2. Zidane
    3. Mercedes
    4. Hayate
    5. Maxwell

    Once those are done I have Leon, Shine, Gaff x2, Cecil, Agrias, Snow x2, Xiao, Emperor, Arc, Jack x2, Cupid Luna x2, Cupid Artemios, Leo & Arsha at minimum. That doesn't count extra blade mastery copies or more sakurafubuki if I want those.

  • ArcTangentArcTangent Registered User regular
    Oh, I have plenty that I could be farming, but Luneth's already got two TMR swords, Chizuru's got DW/BM, and Exdeath gets nothing because he's a tree. I've got various TMRs to farm; Gaff, Snow, a third DW/BM, etc, which would be decent power jumps for the second/third level of people, but push comes to shove, the focus will be on Noctis and a whale to hyper carry while they get pushed out for support and tanks, so improving them isn't going to get a ton. I guess I can focus more on mage stuff since I'm going to be hurting a bit with non-physical things, but there's not much on that front that I'm aware of for many moons to come.

    He was a limited time only unit. He's gone forever.

    There's another unit coming up.

    In two+ months because it's a King Mog event after TGCids.

    A mere 4* too, but also time limited.

    That event also has an extremely strong regular sword for sale in the Mogporium for a ludicrous amount of Mogite or whatever.

    But not exactly coming soon.

    I'm sure you'll end up with some Shera's. Mine is at 75% TMR just from pulls.

    Oh, did I ever.

    35 tickets spent to get Shine. 11 of those pulls were Shera. Also pulled my first Mercedes in there, which was nice.

    Someone asked earlier why all the Arena teams are seemingly chock full of 5* base units, when most people have 0-2 of them total. I think it's a combination of groups:

    1. Whales

    2. Re-rollers (these are the guys Rank <50 with several great units)

    3. Lucky people

    The gacha in this game can be a harsh mistress, and I bet Gumi has lost a lot of players who just got fed up with not ever getting any good units.

  • ElementalorElementalor Registered User regular
    Yeah, I've mostly got Noct with all TM'ed out with whatever I have, gilga katana will be a nice upgrade over his Murasame, but past that he's basically done. I've been pulling to just try to gear up Luneth and Greg, but the game isn't being very helpful on that front. So it's just grinding out some ok TM's while I hope to pull more good ones.

    I guess I have to consider myself really lucky because I have managed to pull 2 5 stars which are considered "good" without chasing them (Noctis and Lighting) and used a lot of tickets trying to get Randi and failing miserably.

    I currently have a bunch of characters I would love to set up to farm, but I just don't have the patience to set it up on my PC. Does anyone have any experience setting it up but still being able to open the app on their phone? I would assume it wouldn't be possible but who knows.

    In my case, I've been playing for 8 months straight (since launch) and have one 5* base. And it's Ace :(

    It's definitely been getting under my skin a little bit. I'm at the point where the only significant upgrades to my roster are 5* base units.

    And in practical terms that means there are no upgrades. There is nothing but TM farming.

    It's funny, because if the game could at least make TM farming fun I could see my self playing this game for a long long time.

    As it is I'm waiting out the clock until Orlandu.

    *Start Rant* I'm in the same boat. I've gotten one 5*, Randi, who right now is next to Ace in value and is from a game I never played. Sure, he'll get better a year down the road, if I'm still playing. It just bothers me that two 11 pulls and now I'm up to 65 tickets spent and not a single 5*. This is half of everything I have, starting at launch, and doing almost every event. I know this would kill their Whale profits but I'd love to see a 15K lapis spend or something that guaranteed a 5*. Let those of us who like playing the game get something out of it besides TMR grinding. Hell would it have killed them to do that with this free 10+1 pull? At least those without a 5* could have something. We have a ton of 5*'s now, none of them are game breakers by themselves. I still have half my haul, we'll see how TGCid turns out *End Rant*

    Whales aren't driven by getting the best unit so much as it is gambling addictions

  • StiltsStilts Registered User regular
    I have yet to get a 5*

    I've been making do with Chizuru, Bartz, Exdeath, and a few whales/lucky people I've gotten as friends.

    Yeah don't get me wrong, I'm still able to do most of the content and the toughest fights just need a whale friend. I think it just me fighting with myself a bit. Most of the time if you work at something there is some form of payoff. Here, no matter how hard you work for lapis and tickets, your still hoping the RNG gods smile on you at the end.

    decided to do 10 ticket summons to get some bonus units for the event like I always do (so I can replenish the tickets with the event tickets)

    first 6 weren't even banner units

    7th was a blue, shattered to gold, shattered to rainbow... queen. well there goes my luck.

    8th was a straight rainbow.... Marie. fuck there goes it all

    the last 2 tickets? still no other banner units...

  • chocoboliciouschocobolicious Registered User regular
    I used all my tickets because I rather like type 0. Ended up with Nine, Eight and Cinque. Which I'm pretty content with. Bonus units for grinding and a pretty solid dragoon if I ever find myself needing jump cheese. Hell I might even stick him on my team as a DPS until WoL gets his 6*.

    So, FYI, the Dunes are amazing now. The third round of the 15 NRG stage has a chance for multiple Gigantaurs; I've run it three times and have seen 2, 1, and 3 spawn there.

  • Trajan45Trajan45 Registered User regular
    Event seems pretty easy thankfully. I'm back in ticket conservation mode, doing ELT with a event friend seems good enough to get me around 300 a pop. Should be able to get all the items I want within the event period. Not sure if I want the sword, I have a Shining Splendor now that is very similar attack.

    I'm at >90% on Ramza and Hayate's TMRs. Letting them run over the day today while at work, maybe one will be done by the time I get home. Once I do get home I'll probably dump lapis into the effort until it's done and then I can do the grind event without feeling the anxiety of being so stupidly close to their TMRs.

  • EggyToastEggyToast Jersey CityRegistered User regular
    I told myself this morning (well, last night), "I'm only going to spend 4 tickets on this event, since the 3 and 4 star units aren't anything special." For the daily, a gold appears, and I think "hey, cool, maybe farming will be easy." Seven! Again! I pulled six sevens last week going for Olive! Wrong event!

    First ticket is Artemios (really?), then Kefka, then suddenly the 3rd is a rainbow and out pops Queen?! Well, ok! Then an Eight.

    Do you guys want on my friend list? I can make 5 spots.

    This event is kind of pathetic. It wasn't until Elite 3/5 where Fire Flask didn't one-hit everything. Note, one-HIT. The second hit from Dual Wield more than finished everything up to the boss off. Not having any issues with it either, although since it seems to always use AoE at the start and I haven't quite figured out how to one-round it, having trouble keeping my garbage Eight alive. At least for the SoM event I had to do a bunch of tweaking and special configuration to get Noctis to hyper carry through it.
