Half price summon Kupipi. Okay, sweet, a banner unit. That TMR does not seem great.
Free summon *quick taps* huh, pastel shaded rainbow? Oh hey! David Bowie! I mean, Emperor.
I imagine the weird shade on the rainbow crystal was a graphical glitch.
But yay, another Rainbow! Nice looking TMR he's got too.
I think that dry spell I was having is over.
After the first few times I threw all my tickets at a banner and got nothing, every new game-changing unit is just another opportunity to feel like shit after the binge. You look at those amazing units and you know you won't get them. They're content locked behind a paywall. So every time everyone gets hyped about this or that unit, I'm just seeing the meta progress, seeing my own units getting left behind.
It's like treading water. You have to keep up with the game, get all the rewards, buy out the MK shop, get the new units, or you'll drown. Well, that's putting it a bit dramatically, but it feels like that sometimes. And the way the game works, there's nothing you can do about it.
Except pay money.
Honestly this was one of the reasons why I whaled on the Nier banner. Looking ahead at JP to see the future units, there wasn't much that really excited me. I have solid units, I can clear content, and while there are *interesting* units, the majority of them are just TMR fodder. Sure, doing fire chains with a fire katana would be nice, or thunder chains with a thunder greatsword, or whatever, but I totally agree that the grind content is not what keeps the game interesting.
I'm actually pretty excited about the 12 Weapon trials, since the rules are "10 units, no friends, any equipment and units you have but no dupes). And the bosses change their tactics, strengths, and weaknesses as the fights progress. Although they will take a little longer, it's more interesting to gear up units and work against that type of content, instead of getting excited over fighting a Mog King wave of weak enemies for 2 weeks in order to buy mid-tier equipment.
I can reliably 3-round anything with Olive/Fry/9S/Wilhelm/Friend Fry
s'true though
I call bull pickles. First round you cant do any damage, second round 50% of the time is going to be physical vulnerable for 3 rounds not magical, and olive just doesnt do all that much damage on him by herself, freyvia barely tickles him during these rounds. My Frey is 980 mag, my friends are around the same number and it almost always takes 2 rounds of double frey (round 5) to down him. (I have luneth in my party instead of olive but same thing...his slay only does 100-250k. I'm talking about Elite, so maybe you are referring to pro?
With a friend Fry and two Tidus' I can get about 20% of his damage down if he's on SPR break. It's not hard to imagine if you time it correctly you could easily take him down in 3 turns.
I've been hoarding my tickets for either Ayaka or Roy, my team needs a great healer / support. I was leaning towards Roy, because his stat boosting, HP/MP regen songs, but I've been using Soleil a lot for stat boosts, and Ayaka can recover MP for the party (just not herself). Considering that there are some solid TMs on the banner (Sylvia and Kamui), it's really tempting me to drop a bunch of tickets on this banner. I want Sylvia's sword for Fryevia, as I only have the one Needle.
See, i dont get why Ayaka is 'better' than tillith. I think the elemental resistance buff on a healer is what makes or breaks a good healer since that healer can perform two functions and you dont need a dedicated support unit. Granted tillith at that point gets very busy and sometimes you cant do everything you need to do. Marie is still the top GL healer/support hybrid unit because she does practically everything in a single cast and she does it very well. The new Nichol in JP is Marie's upgrade, and I don't think I'll be pulling for a straight healer until then..or even a straight support unless they bring something else to the table as well.

I'm using double Frye, FV, two supports, and Paul. 3 turns. Without fail. Sometimes 2 turns, if FV gets his stronger finisher through the counter unlock and def gets broken. 2 turns if I get a really strong friend Fry and spr is broken.
What really helps is FV's Inspire, a 80% buff to Mag/Atk. Soleil would be better if I could bother to enhance her. She could replace Tilith, whose sole job is to buff def/spr by some 40% and is otherwise useless. I probably don't even need that buff.
Also, your physical attacker needs to be finishing/chain capping. That's the only way to get FV to do enough damage to kill the boss by turn 3. I wrote a macro a while ago that puts his second DW attack right at the end of a Fryevia chain. Does the job every time.
Hmmm... Let's see what kind of macros I have.

She's just an upgrade, she's not crazy superior. She can dual cast tier 5 heals, she has Rem's auto-revive which can be dual casted, and she has an inbuilt Silence/Paralyze/Confuse/Petrify Resist. She also has stat boosts that are 5 turns, tilith's 2 turns drive me nuts as you have to recast so often.

All the TMR farming macros I found on the reddit. The other ones I made myself. Using Nox.
If anyone is using Nox, Fryevia, and FV, I could put the macro on a pastebin. That's the big one. The others only have niche uses. Firion I used before I got FV. The macros with ExDeath was for the Hein event. The Pod 153 + Toxic Rain chain I also made for Hein. I even got it to work on the dummy, except that Hein was immune to elemental damage, so I couldn't build a chain. That was like 5 hours of my life wasted.
[edit] Unless I'm very mistaken, all the ExDeath macros should also work with Victoria and anyone with Meteor. The timing on spells is identical across units, right?
I've got FV and Frey, just farmed up Fixed dice and OK's sword so im ready to play around with a macro to see who is going to make the cut into my new main party. I'd like the macro in a pastebin if you dont mind.
There you go. Fryevias on left upper corner (position 1) and right lower corner (position 6, for friend units). FV on right upper corner (position 4, to the right of your Fryevia).
Equip FV with an ice weapon and test the macro on the dummy. It should register a 29-hit elemental chain. If it doesn't, then lag (yours or mine) has thrown off the timing. Tell me and I'll adjust it. I put FV's second hit at the very edge of the Fryevia chain, to give the first hit as high a multiplier as possible.
Hmmm... Using the chaining visualizer, I should be able to make a macro for any sort of chain with FV finishing, even if I don't have that unit. I just need to put Fryevia's chain and the other unit's chain next to one another and make it so that the final hits overlap. That should give me the difference in timing, which I can use to adjust the macro.
It should work. I figured out the timing for FV finishing through trial and error, and the visualizer has the timings for all the chains. The only issue is lag. Using a 4/5 year old laptop here.
[edit] Speaking of the visualizer, if you just want a macro for the chain (without finisher), you can use this site to generate a macro (both Nox and Memu).
that site was what i was looking for thanks. Can't play with it at work, for some reason im getting the same problem i do with the FFBE unit calculator in my browser..it never loads the characters into the drop down boxes.
I generated a Nox macro for a single Fryevia. Then I moved the timing up 60 frames. The newly generated macro shows a 2000 microsecond difference. It should be 1000 microseconds for 60 frames per second.
Okay, so, maybe the macro the site generates is for Nox running at 30 frames per second. But 1000 microseconds on the macro should still corresponds to 1000 microseconds in real time, right?
The only way this makes sense is if running Nox at 30 frames per second actually slows the game down.
That can't be right.
I got a Simple Stopwatch and installed it on Nox. I made a macro that started and stopped the stopwatch exactly 20 seconds apart. Then I switched to 30 frames per second and ran the macro again. Still 20 seconds. So it's not Nox.
I know that there are games whose FPS is tied to the game engine, making it so that a lower FPS will make the game run in slow motion, but that hardly ever happens anymore. Not in modern games.
Fuck. I need to test the 20 seconds macro on in FFBE, time it with an actual stopwatch or a stopwatch app on my phone.
[edit] Nope. 20 seconds is still 20 seconds.
Then... What's going on?
[edit] No, this test was dumb. Of course the 20 seconds macro will second tap after 20 seconds. It's tied to Nox, not the game. What I need to do is time an attack, change the FPS, and time it again, see if it changed.
[edit] Haha. Oh my god. Attacks take twice as long in real time when you're running the game at 30 FPS.
[edit] I guess the point of this post is, if you're going to use the site to make anything more complicated than just dupes chaining, you should keep in mind that the macro is designed for 30 FPS. Either change your FPS settings or adjust the timing by dividing each timestamp by 2.
Actually, for Nox it's ((timestamp - 100) / 2) + 100 because the macro the site generates won't go below timestamp 100.
You mentioned having Onion Knight and his TMR sword.
I made a macro for an Onion Knight chain using Onion Cutter (from his TMR) with FV finishing using Heavy Stomp (which I'm pretty sure has the same timing as Full Charge Stomp, which you unlock through a counter).
I have no idea if this works. It should, if the data on the timing is correct, but I don't have Onion Knight and I certainly don't have his sword. I just wanted to try making it.
I'll look into it later. I'm not sure if my stuff will be super reliable...I'm running nox on an old laptop and sometimes even with the simple earth shrine macro its a bit of a slog, so im not even sure if im running at 30fps. Like just yesterday somehow my earth shrine macro ended up putting me into the Octopus teacher advanced difficulty fight.

Like just yesterday somehow my earth shrine macro ended up putting me into the Octopus teacher advanced difficulty fight.
Well, if that's the case, I'm not sure any of those above-posed macros will work properly. When I was making them, I was adjusting the timing by steps of 50 microseconds.
Hmmm...
The macro is designed for 60 FPS. If the chaining causes lag, the game-time will slow down, but the macro-time won't. So FV will attack before he's supposed to attack.
That's actually okay for Onion Knight. His Onion Cutter is so long. It's so super long. The period in which you get full 4x modifier is huge compared to units like Fryevia. If Nox ran at a stable 60 FPS, FV's seecond attack would land on the tail end of the chain, which you need to maximize damage with a unit like Fryevia, but you don't need to do that with Onion Knight.
So, the Onion Knight macro might work. Unless the game runs so slow that FV's first attack hits before the 4x period has started. That's not likely to happen, though. The 4x period is so very, very long.
The Fryevia macro requires tight timing, though, because the 4x period is incredibly short.
Just test everything before you use anything in a real battle.
[edit] Your lag and timing issues might explain why you can't reliably kill Shadow Lord on turn 3 using 2x Frye and Olive/Luneth. That 4x multiplier is huge.
I play the game on my iphone, i use nox to TM farm. I just figured if i could get a good macro going i could use my laptop to kill the trial bosses much easier via the combo macro
Just finished up Fixed Dice, so FV is promoted to Finisher Supreme. He still needs a couple more 30% ATK boosts (Maxwell and FV are on the farm, and I'll have Adventurer IV done soon) but 538ATK with Fixed Dice is pretty decent already.
I'm missing a few things to allow for maxing FV, namely EV's TMR for the 40% ATK with heavy armor, and Fohlen for that sweet helmet. He'll still be pretty beefy and do tons of damage on good dice rolls, so I'm happy with that.

I saw 4 news announcements queued, got excited, opened it, and then was immediately disappointed.
I have so many pots in my inbox. What do I even do with them? I could use them on FV, but he's doing fine just with his Atk filled out.
I've been throwing all those useless mini burst pots on 9S, even though I don't think I'll be using him. Just because his LB seems the least useless out of all my units and I had mini burst pots coming out of my ass.
Not counting the gazillion pots in my inbox, I have two screens worth of pots in my inventory. And not the small ones either. Most of those I fused away on units I may or may not use because they were taking up so much space.
I really wish I could trade my Atk pots for Spr pots. And HP pots. You can never have too many HP pots. I just wished I had a few really good units I could use them on.
Guys I think Mechanical Heart may be the most crazy TMR there is. My WoL is virtually immortal now.
Incidentally, I had a perfect validation of "you can never have too much hp" the other day probing Marlboro ELT. WoL hit 29 hp at one point. His max hp currently is a little over 10,400. Every bit of hp matters!
Ugh too many of my friends with Fry have changed their units to something else.
Same happened to my Tidus friends. I specifically bought 10 more slots for OKs and Tiduses, now there's a mass of Frey's (which do me zero good as I don't have her) and a random smattering of TMR-chasers, banner units and (as always) Orlandeaus (who I also don't have). Sucketh verily.
I wish people with enhanced maries would understand that while they might not be the flashiest Friend unit with a gazillion attack...people would really love you for not switching her out.
Since we don't have friend level yet (if ever?) it doesn't matter all that much I guess, but she's not really a day to day kind of unit. Probably not too hard to find one to switch for a while to get some trials done or something. I can switch over at some point today if you need.
Some people would love it, others like just a few posts above would complain that their <attacker> friends changed units to Marie :P

Nah all of my friends changed from Fry to Orlandeau for some reason. It makes it really annoying to go through this stupid raid.

HalfmexI mock your value systemYou also appear foolish in the eyes of othersRegistered Userregular
Honestly I wish they'd do something different with the Friend system for this exact reason. It's sort of weird to recruit a friend based on a really great unit/setup they have and then be beholden to their whims as to when they switch them out while at the same time not having any way to contact them and request their original unit. I'd rather see something like a 'rent-a-unit' kind of thing where you can just browse the units your friend(s) have available and use whichever they have for the day. Put it on an appropriate cooldown or something but at least give me the option of using the unit I originally friended the person for and not TMR-chaser#54863 or something.

Sinking a lot of lapis this week into TM grinding to kit out VoL. I really want to get her ready to replace Olive for general fights as my finisher. I have one last item to finish up for Rikku and then the entire TMR team will be devoted to her for the near future.
Fate:Grand/Order, or however it is styled, lets you set a main friend and then sub-friends of different types -- like, a healer, although for them it's more pokemon-style types. Still, it's rarely used and most people just put their main waifu as the "all".
It's a collab with a JP Star Ocean mobile game that itself pulls characters from different games in the series. The US doesn't have that mobile game, so we might not get this collab.

The Fryevia macro requires tight timing, though, because the 4x period is incredibly short.
Just test everything before you use anything in a real battle.
[edit] Your lag and timing issues might explain why you can't reliably kill Shadow Lord on turn 3 using 2x Frye and Olive/Luneth. That 4x multiplier is huge.

I've been throwing all those useless mini burst pots on 9S, even though I don't think I'll be using him. Just because his LB seems the least useless out of all my units and I had mini burst pots coming out of my ass.
Not counting the gazillion pots in my inbox, I have two screens worth of pots in my inventory. And not the small ones either. Most of those I fused away on units I may or may not use because they were taking up so much space.
I really wish I could trade my Atk pots for Spr pots. And HP pots. You can never have too many HP pots. I just wished I had a few really good units I could use them on.
Incidentally, I had a perfect validation of "you can never have too much hp" the other day probing Marlboro ELT. WoL hit 29 hp at one point. His max hp currently is a little over 10,400. Every bit of hp matters!

Same happened to my Tidus friends. I specifically bought 10 more slots for OKs and Tiduses, now there's a mass of Frey's (which do me zero good as I don't have her) and a random smattering of TMR-chasers, banner units and (as always) Orlandeaus (who I also don't have). Sucketh verily.
Free summon: Gold crystal, it's Werei
1/2 summon: Blue crystal breaks into gold crystal. It's another Werei.
And now I don't need anything from the XI banner.
Some people would love it, others like just a few posts above would complain that their <attacker> friends changed units to Marie :P
Nah all of my friends changed from Fry to Orlandeau for some reason. It makes it really annoying to go through this stupid raid.
