    I did 10 pulls, mostly because I wasn't getting any banner units. No Orlandu, but I got two more Shines, so I am VERY happy about that. And Lawrence and Soleil, so I can max out Olive and not kill myself grinding.

    Lots of people on Reddit salty about pulling rainbows that aren't Orlandu!

    I would love to have a single Shine. The only thing keeping me back from maxing Olive is my lack of access to more 30% ATK materia. As is she'll have the 30% ATK from the Gilgamesh Trial, 20% ATK from Karl, and a 15% ATK materia to go along with doublehand. I mean, that's still really good and I have a Brave Suit for her, so all in all it's whatever. She'll get there eventually.

    Right there with you bud.

    People may laugh at how bad Randi is now, but he can't be pulled anymore and his enhancements are nuts. You'll be one of the cool kids eventually, and even that much cooler for the fact that entry into that club is closed forever.

    Well a friendly Noctis managed to carry my entire level 1 bonus unit team through ELT without issue. Fire flask too strong.

    The only rainbow I've seen is Duane and Cerius but that was before the change, nothing since then.

    How long until his enhancements (and what do that they give him)? He's a solid unit right now but as Zomro said he's not really envy unit.

    He's a beast in this event though.

    A very long time. We're I'd guess about two months out from enhancements, and he doesn't get his until the monthly 5th batch, which was only recently in Japan.

    He really is a Doublehand beast with them though.

    Also, this is what it's felt like to have Ramza since always. Counting the days... one by one by one... Just a couple more months to go until he becomes useful again... Right from zero to irreplaceable.

    I set TGCid as my friend unit, but I'm not going to start stripping TMRs from other characters to slap onto him until I get him at least into the 6* range. I have approximately 0 gigantaurs at the moment, although that should change once I have a chance to barrel through the event a few times.

    Heads up everyone: Black Magic is banned in the Arena this week. HOWEVER! For some reason Exdeath can still cast Meteor. Which, thank god, the amount of 2-3 Noctii teams I have run into already is crazyballs.

    Does that happen before or after the accuracy change to two-handed weapons and doublehand? Also, does increased accuracy decrease the target's chance to evade? I'm not clear on how the accuracy mechanic works in JP.

    I'm not either, but I'm pretty sure the accuracy change happened around Cloud time, which was only a monthish ago. Chizuru gets her enhancements in the very first batch.

    hum.. well i did one 10+1 pull today. I figured after yesterdays 10+1 pull gave me the bottom of the luck barrel Hope and nine, that i was owed something.

    got Gilgamesh.

    Also finally got a Y'talkndffasdjkadlkdfjas from raid coins, and exactly enough shard of genius moogles to max her TM. now i have to decide if i want Refia to have 4k health and about + 30 def/spirit or 4.5k health with her current 15% HP ability.

    That's one crazy pull. It would have only been better if the daily was Shadow so you hit both extremes in two pulls.

  • ArtereisArtereis Registered User regular
    Cyan's not too far off Shadow. My team power got a crazy shot in the arm this week between him and Olive from the daily the other day. I'm going to run Dunes until my eyes bleed. So much TM farming to do.

    Cruor
  • CruorCruor Registered User regular
    I'm looking forward to the next one-and-done event so I can hopefully finish up the majority of Olive's TMRs. Gaff is at 95%, Karl is at ~90%, and my Bartz triplets combined are at about 70%. Olive herself is at 55% just from Moogles. After all of those are done it'll probably set up Hayatex3 (for my second hood), Snow (Champion Belt as my only other +30ATK accessory), and...something else I haven't decided on.

  • azith28azith28 Registered User regular
    I pulled my first shadow in like 4 months after that gilga pull. I'm afraid to pull more.

  • RiusRius Globex CEO Nobody ever says ItalyRegistered User regular
    Major congrats to all who've gotten Orlandeau-dude so far, and good luck to those still pursuing him. I cannot help but think I should have saved more tickets, but he'll be back on a later banner that doesn't otherwise utterly suck and my team is outstanding as it is already.

    So, because I'm weak (though I've stayed away for like 2 or 3 weeks now its been? Dunno what the heck is going on with this raid event thingy), but I saw that TGCid banner is up in the thread title, so I decided to log back in and decided to go all out to see if I can get the Thunder God, and then see what happens.

    First ticket: Rainbow?! WTF game you've got to be kidding me, its ... Marie?! Who the heck is Marie?! (After looking up on the wiki, she's apparently a top support buffer.) So, I figure, well there goes any chance at TGCid. Use up a 3 or 4 more tickets, nothing great (I think there was an Ovelia and a Lawrence in there). Well, I figure I've got like 7k lapis, I say might as well, just do an 11 pull.

    First unit... TG Cid!!!!

    Damnit Gumi, I'm gonna have to start playing your damn game again. ;-)

    So interesting notes on my pulls:

    Ovelia went strait to 80%
    Leon went strait to 40%
    Soleils x 5 so I'll decide their fate later

    Worthwhile TMs:
    Shine
    Seven
    Gaffgarians x 2
    Snow
    Leon x 3
    Guy x 4
    Hayate
    Jack
    Kefka x 2

  • CruorCruor Registered User regular
    Just pulled my third Y'shtola, was feeling lucky. Also got a ticket from the Raid completion list and used it on the banner and got Leon. Ok, cool, I guess that'll eventually be a nice TMR.

    Still have three more tickets to buy from the grind event, plus dailies. There's still some hope.

    Are you playing JP or am i missing that TGCid is actually just the name you people call orlandu? Cause TGCid isnt in global yet is he?

    I can also finally put those two Equip L swords and my 3 Excaliburs to work like I've always wanted.

    Edit: Also finished some extensive house cleaning. Even after buying the 100 cactuars to feed to Orlandeu (16 leftover), I am down to 197 / 300 units when I was at around 315/300 before buying them.
