1591 Ex Aileen is the best I can do without farming TMR Head and Body equipment. While I would totally farm Prishe and new!Kain, I don't have them and I'm not about to farm Hayate or Fohlen. Not worth it for a few points of ATK. As for body, my choices are even more limited. Gouken? 5 ATK higher and limited to males. No thanks.
We meet again raid... back-to-back-to-back raids. Looks like machine killer will be key. I will switch up the gear a bit on my friend unit to boost damage against machine. There is not a lot out there to do that is there? Sword TMR (Killing Machine) and materia TMR (Edgar) and unit passives. What else? You can't get it from an esper.
There's the Gaia Hammer (which is fire element) that also has machine killer. I think that finishes the list though. I think the Esper Alexander has machine killer, but he's a little bit out yet.
Ah, I forgot about this one. Another hammer that hardly anyone can use to take advantage of the killer - Aileen anyone? Does anyone even use Aileen anymore now that Seph, Fryevia, and Tidus are the new hotness?
I made the really dumb mistake of selling all my Edgar's and keeping all my Sabin's, mixing up their TMR's, way back when. Only at 45% for Edgar vs 90% for Sabin, now thanks to that.

At least you're close to that sweet counter materia. You'll be countering left and right!
I wish raid coins were worth enough to just consider selling them like the bahamut raid or whichever one that was. I'd rather do that once I have any of the worthwhile raid tmrs/equip than sit through being a gazillion units over limit again plus using up all the raid coins.
Shadowlord too, right?
Well, that was annoying:
My sixth time drawing that group today, and now I have my first arena loss of 2018!

I'm up to 3 100% moogles and not sure what to do with them. There are several good TMRs I could choose from, but I can't get myself to pull the trigger on them.
Tempted to moogle Emperor for his staff for the HP/MAG for TT or to moogle a few Rassler's for Patriotic for Wilhelm.
TMR group has mostly been weapon based but has Aileen, Vertias of the Dark, Desch (almost done), White Knight Noel, and Ang currently. I've got enough gear for a well geared tank, 2 DW dps, and one TDH dps, 2 Mages, and 1 healer/support, so it just doesn't seem like I have a high priority to use the moogles.
Is there anything Hyoh really wants outside of the TDH stuff I have farmed? Or should I moogle Nichol or Ayaka's TMR for 7* or do the same for TT or Orlandeau?

Hyou wants his own TMR for the ATK it provides so I'd save one Moogle for him. If you have 2 TTerras already I'd pull the trigger on hers since the turn 1 quadcast is just so choice. As for the third...I don't know.
My 7* collection is actually fairly large for when we get there.
I've got the following.
Ace
Aileen
Ang (assuming I'll sit on him as his 7* probably won't be until Chinese New Years I assume?
Ayaka
Balthier
Barbariccia
Cloud
Dark Fina
Delita
Elfreeda
Grim Lord Sakura (assuming Halloween? and I have her Reaper farmed)
Lightning
Lunera
Luneth
Noctis (2 TMRs farmed)
Olive (1 TMR farmed)
Orlandeau
Queen
Rem
Seabreeze Dark Fina
Sephiroth (1 TMR farmed)
Trance Terra
Veritas of the Dark
Wilhelm (1 TMR farmed)
Pulling the trigger on Trance Terra's TMR and Orlandeau's seem like a good idea for future units, but I'm afraid if I do that they'll announce some change to the 7*s or put TT in a really late batch because of how stupidly powerful she is.
I'm really considering Ayaka since her TMR would basically mean Nichol shouldn't have MP issues correct?
CG Fina is the bane of my Arena runs. Its why I dont have a win streak trophy. I ultimately hit a group with her LB boosted to fuck and back, then its just Reraises all day everyday
CG Fina? That wasn’t the issue, she died first round almost every time. Her reraise can be dispelled. What sucks is 4 Ray Jacks covering each other with mechanical heart, his innate counters, and full status immunity. That guy is rank 200 and apparently has a bunch of TMRs to play with.
First five times it was a long fight until I eventually picked off two of them with Odin, but they either killed or full mp drained at least one of my units each turn. Sixth time they went back-to-back with something (golden shower strike? IDK) that killed everyone but GLS.

Honestly, I would just hang onto them. If your team does not need anything, then just wait until they announce the first batch of 7* and then prioritize at that point. I've started putting my potential 7*s into the ES farm team one at a time. Based on the JP first batch, I'm working on Orlandeau and Rem first. Not sure what after that. There really is no rush to 7* units right away since the content will not scale up right away to match it. Also, most people will not be able to reach max level anyways. It will take a TON of King Cactuars for max level - hundreds? No hurry there, but all of these raids certain help to stockpile a bit once we can start fusing them together.

The last time I lost (very recently) was to a team with 2 Vanille (probably max LB for max Death chance) and 3 Chow. I have an all magic team so the Chow's covered the Vanilles and then they both LB'd and KO'd my whole team. I have since put Safety Bit on Ayaka, but still... ugh. It takes forever to kill off the Chows with a mage team. Odin helps.

Nichol probably wont get 7* in the first batch so you still have time to regularly TM farm him. Same with Ayaka i think. I'm saving moogles for characters i decided i need to 7*..since you get those free 50% all moogles from 7*'ing units, as long as you have several characters already at 100%, you can start a nice chain of TM moogles going with a little investment in the beginning.
CG Fina is the bane of my Arena runs. Its why I dont have a win streak trophy. I ultimately hit a group with her LB boosted to fuck and back, then its just Reraises all day everyday
CG Fina is way easier than Ayaka. The worst is those with super high HP and some evade, that just Curaja themselves back to full every turn. That's when I have to break out the magical activation to dual CW her butt.

I'm in the same boat, had about 500%+ sitting there since I haven't been pulling much and I don't need much. My 10+1 got me another Greg, so that was 1 100% down. I used 75% on Helena to finisher her's, since CG Lid and Nichol both like LB boosting items and there are not many. I'm saving the rest for any random pull I may get.
Since it sounds like you TMR farm, I'd throw your 7*'s in that rather then use moogles. We still have 2 months by most accounts, so you'll have time to get them to 50% or so at least. How many Patriotic Recall's do you have? Do you have any Crowe's? I feel like I'm good with 3 Thirst for Survivals and 4 PR's. Since lately most hard content has need 2 tanks (Provoke and cover).
For weapons, you may want to wait till we get closer to the Item World. Some weapons like Rod's, the buffs were not great when it was first released. However Swords and Daggers have some great buffs, so you may decide you want to use a moogle to get a TMR item to take through. We're not sure if GUMI will enhance item world or leave it as is for now. Otherwise, I've slowly tried to work on getting elemental weapons done to help with any future content that may need them.

Yeah Chow’s frustrating - another annoying fight I only won thanks to luck was three Kings and two Chows with two Kings berserked...

I'm guilty of this. My arena Ayaka has 10k HP, but no evade. I'm not sure I can work evade into her build without sacrificing too much HP. Maybe on FFBE weeks when she gets a buff?

I like to stick with non-elemental magic for arena in case of any resistances. GL Sakura and Ashe (Soul Barrage and Heaven's Fury) takes care of that very well. Only problem is that Ashe is very squishy.
lol mine is setup the same. It's the AI that makes it suck as it has to be programmed to use Curaja when under 50% HP. Normally the AI will be sporadic and you can get lucky with a CG Fina attacking or something.

lol Veritas of the Earth is the only unit I've ever run into problems with with my team, and he almost never shows up. Even with the "resist" popping up after every hit, a 49 hit chain including 2 Alternas and pretty much everything dies lol.
I use Fohlen as a beefy physical attacker, with built in evade and occasional blink, dual wielding a spear and razzmatazz for petrification, a high HP Rem with Rikku's Pouch and Frozen Hurricane, and then three Ashes. Everyone with ribbons. I will occasionally lose if I get really unlucky with the AI going first and all picking the strongest group attacks, but not much survives Heaven's Fury x3, plus vortex/bladeblitz (depending on the week's rules), and then, depending on the week's rules, either Frozen Hurricane, Chaos Grenade, or a dual cast Firaga/Blizzaga.
Realized I have about 5 spaces free on my FL, so went through and friend requested a few folks in here that aren't on my list yet (@TeaSpoon, @Artereis , and @Papagander ) Tried to add a few more but your lists are full!
Also, like @urahonky I'm now also starting to see people clearing "Where Destinies Intersect - After" and trying to figure out how they're unlocking that stage already.

Rem will make your tornado team cry tornado tears.
I go with Ayaka for stop shenanigans and general safety net. She also has Frozen Hurricane equipped for turn 1 (when it's not banned). 2 Williams for Quake chain. 2 Pod 153 chainers, equipped with Razzmatazz, one of which is also full dodge. I like to think I'm equipped to deal with most teams.

Not sure if I am one of those, but I'm sure I have some inactives I can clean up. I'll sort it out after work. The Story Event names could be messed up. I'm sure it's a bug where the wrong name is being reported.
There are days when I'm tempted to level my other 2 Barb copies and just Tornado the arena between 3x her, Lexa and Rydia.
I'm using Lexa right now. Dual Tornado + CW is OTKO'ing everything. She's got more HP than Shantotto but not nearly as much as T.Terra or Barb, leaving her kind of squishy.
What I worry about is someone bringing wind-resistant units because Tornado is the most common element used in magic chaining. That's why I'm using Williams. I used to chain Victorias, but Veritas of the Dark absorbs dark damage.
I used to routinely clear the medal boards, but I stopped a while back when people started talking about the rewards update. I'm somewhere between 6 and 7k now.
I do what's easy, so I just run Tidus, Seph, OK, Ayakka and TTerra for Arena. I set Ayakka to esuna and curaja, TT to dual firagga or Ultima, and then T/S/OK to their group attacks (OK rocking the razz). Then I just hit repeat till all five arena orbs are gone. I actively try to avoid Noctis though. I can concentrate him down since everyone in my arena team also has magic via esper, but I don't want to deviate from Repeat if i can avoid it. I'm not running against top end teams tho, as I spend half my dailies on Colosseum still. I generally get to about streak 40-50 each week, unless i get very unlucky.
I've also been saving arena medals since the pot/cactuar fuse announcement, but only have about 700 or so collected.
Partly as I'm working on medals. I have Xon stealing from every Colosseum battle to work on that and Colosseum together (highest rank S2 is a good source of Mystic Ore from the winged Eyeballs). And in other craziness, I still am farming elt Fabul with Seph group-shotting all the things while my bonus units fire attack items (to make the claim of helping.....) so I can eventually work through those item cheevos. I don't otherwise use items in this game.

The rank difference doesn't bother me, but I suspect they have periods of inactivity I'm not catching. Mostly because they and I were the same rank when I friended them lol. I probably don't check friend activity as much as I should, but I don't want to be obsessive about it.

I use a similar set-up, but Ling w/Frozen Hurricane instead of Ayaka. I also have no pods, so that's different too.
Noctis is using the Razzmatazz, so he can Stop/Sleep/Petrify all at the same time.
