The thing about Hyoh is that Gumi is going to keep releasing stronger DPS units. He's going to get powercrept pretty fast. I would use the UoC tickets to fill a hole in my team, and the DPS role has a whole lot of options coming.
Like, I'm seriously considering UoC-ing Wilhelm, because I don't have a 7* provoke tank and Odin has shown the importance of role consolidation (and that my 6* tanks are showing their age). The last few tanks we've gotten were all limited units. And fuck those. Fuck Viktor. I will never forgive Gumi for that banner. Fuck Lilith too, even though I didn't pull for her. Fuck her on principle. Wilhelm is still usable, though, so I'm keeping my tickets in reserve. Let's see what kind of tanks are coming.
[edit] Not powercrept, exactly. He'll just have a lot of competition.
UoCing Wilhelm, you have to ask yourself if you plan on going for CG Sieghart. He'll be the story event CG unit for December, which is also when Christmas is going to hit. So he's only like 2 months away. If you don't want to gamble on pulling a 7* from Sieghart's banner or would rather save for Christmas, then Wilhelm is a great unit that will serve you now until at least the current point in the JP meta that's like a year away.
Sieghart doesn't have a sexy mustache. What kind of comparison is this?
I might just use my UoC ticket for Hyoh. His 7* form doesn't get outclassed anytime soon does it?
Hard to say with scheduling. Technically we should see the 1st Xenogears collab in January (if we're going to get it). That banner has Fei and Elly, both top 10. We'll also be getting the Jecht and Auron shortly after, so probably Feb with the 2nd Xenogears banner that month with Citan (still ranked #2 on altema). It's not going to be till April or so that we'll see Akstar.
Now how will GL TDW updates play into the meta, we don't know. I'll say this, if you have 1 Hyoh and you have full TDH gear (2 Marshel Gloves, Buster Style, DCK's STMR, Nalu's TMR, exAileen's TMR, etc) then it's really worth it to grab another for the 7* version. You'll also want Tonitrus and Flaming Blade Agni for him as well.
I'm already back up to 5 UoC tickets. So I'll have another one by mid-January. Since all the pulls I want to do in the next 3 months are limited units (Randi, WKN, Xenogears), having one available now wouldn't do much for me.
I don't have a single Hyoh. But in reality it's going to be a point where I have like 50 of these tickets that I never use "just in case", much like Megalixers in FF games.
Agree with others, don't use a UoC on your first of a unit. I'm right there with you though, in old school RPG's I'd always grind outside of town so I never had to use potions. I'd end up with max stacks I'd never use. But this game is different. I use trust moogles all the time. I may have 2 or 3 hundred % on standbye but when I need something I use them. I feel like UoC's will be the same. There will come a banner where you just don't want to pull and after it's done can use 2 UoC's on the unit you wanted.
This become especially true when a lot of the limited time units are really good and can't be UoC'd. So you may want to drop all your resources for Randi, then use 2 UoC's on Jecht or someone.
Review of Jecht:
Jecht
"I'm winning this fight if you don't mind"
Jecht comes blaring out the gate going at the throat of the big G.O.D. himself Hyou. He rivals Hyou in several factors, and even beats him in others. Like hyou, he doesn't even need a 7* to kick everyone's behind in the DPS game, he'll do this himself. He's one of the very few characters with access to W-Ability, T-Ability, and both his chaining moves as a 6 star, [he even has T-Ability as a 5 star]. This automatically places him in top tier, not to mention he gains both DW EQ and TDH passives AS A 6 STAR, this guy is seriously no joke!! Jecht has Imperil and imbue for water element, letting him use virtually any equipment and lose very little in the damage department. He has access to HE/DR and QT frames, which consequently open up a whole slew of units to chain with. These have excessive mods, and self cap ala Hyou, And we haven't even gotten into his 7 star yet!!
Jechts 7 star form further adds on to his abilities to abuse everything in his tree, adding modifiers to his main chaining attacks, nearly all of which have his name in it. He can also activate T-Ability just setting up for big damage turns effortlessly, showing Tidus up on how to DPS, he may not have Fixed Dice like his son, but he sure as shit doesn't need it, give him a greatsword and his plethora of passives will boost his attack to insane levels, letting him nearly effortlessly hit the cap of even 400%.
EDIT: you can use Nichol to imbue him with water again if you need to dispel due to whatever problem you're having with a boss imbuing you with unwanted elements, for virtually no DPS loss, So that's super exciting.
The negatives: Jecht only really loses out in one place against hyou, and it's equipment issues. He has less accessory options than hyou, and doesn't have an applicable 2h Elemental weapon, not that it's that big of an issue, but it does cause him to use a Setup turn for Imbuing. His LB is a complete flat capping move, that unlocks T-Ability instantly for Jecht, this makes it less useful than Hyous for chaining purposes, but T Ability activates at all three rarities for him, making him one of the only people to access T Ability at low rarities.
Review of Auron:
The OG breaker of FFX does not disappoint. He's just as good as any other breaker at 5/6 star rarity, but 7 star he really shines brighter than any other. He's Loren/Lorraines better half, in that he does precisely what she does, but with TDH and W-Ability. His breaks feature AOE 50% double breaks, ST 60% single breaks, and a ST 50% full break, when he becomes 7 star and has his Trust master, he gains the ability to buff teammates with his Cooldown, while simultaneously breaking the enemy with a heavy 70%, then his LB also gains 74% Full break thanks to his TM Passive. But that's only the initial part of Auron, he has various damaging moves that let him take advantage of his heavy fire imperil, making him a great sidekick for Emperor Shiera, and his frame set is 6fr or AT Frames, which include Bart, Fei, Sephiroth, Lasswell Reagan and Machina. His LB will also partially chain with Tornado users for what it's worth
The negative: as with Jecht, his short comings are very very small. Almost all of his passives and his TM revolve around using Katanas, of which there isn't any good 2h ones, so he's stuck with standard variance. Aside from inherent build problems, many will argue that Lid is a better breaker to use over him due to that 4% advantage she has over him.
I finally finished Livid Shanatto's TMR. I have to say, I'm surprised with how much I like her. When I first got her I was kind of bleh about it. I don't care about FF11, and her best stuff requires a turn set up, but ever with just her default spells she's no slouch and handily covers a lot it elements.
I tried the vampire guy and it's just... instant death moves and mp drain? No thanks. Back to the MK grind.
Lucious + Ayaka + A Rain + D. Fina = fucking bullshit. A Rain covered D. Fina, which means she casted her retaliation spell like a dozen times and wiped my entire fucking team.
That's why my team is purely physical. 2 Hyohs (7* and 6*), 2 Pod 153 users. Both Hyohs have 100% accuracy and use double Ruthless Blade (because it chains the AoE hits). The Pod users have 95% accuracy (2-handed bow and 2-handed harp for 70% accuracy and a TDH each). When I'm not facing A. Rain or another magic tank, I'll have Ayaka use Frozen Hurricane.
They all chain together. I think the Pod bridges the gap between the Ruthless Blade hits. Whole bunch of hits. Tends to kill the whole enemy team. Sometimes it leaves one alive if one of the enemy units has ST cover. The same thing happens when I use Frozen Hurricane with an enemy A.Rain. It triggers his cover, leaving himself and his cover buddy alive (because his ST magic cover comes with damage mitigation).
I also pick the highest HP enemy unit to target because whoever I target gets extra damage (essentially double the damage from the Ruthless Blade). Currently, one of my Pod users has been replaced by Pirate Jake for the bonus. Usually I use Elfreeda and Cloud as Pod users (because they have innate TDH and thus accuracy), but I have enough TDH gear that I can make anyone 95% accurate using Equip Bow and Equip Harp (or rather, Instrumental Flair).
Fun fact. Bows and Harps have the highest accuracy. Guns come next with 60% accuracy. Except for Spica, which has 70% accuracy like Bows and Harps.
[edit] Wait, hold on. I know that you can't exceed the highest bonus available that week with multiple bonus units, but can you get to 100% bonus (this week) by using multiple 75% units?

Finally got the Vampire Count down. I dropped used - CG Nichol, CG Lid, 7* Rem, WKN, Hyoh, and friend Hyoh. It turns out that I really needed CG Nichol for my MP regen. He had almost 1k MP and was left with 75 after the first turn. Once Lid got her breaks down, I could focus on getting MP to the Hyohs, sacking Rem for esper, and removing charm with CG Nichol or Lid. 3rd turn KO with triple case servant. Now to work on a 3* Odin team since there are a lot of similarities in the team comp/gear.

[edit] Dispel can remove charm. I think I learned this fact multiple times but I keep forgetting it. I had to look it up just now. CG Lid has an ability that cures certain status effects, among them charm. It's better than dispel because you get to keep the buffs.

Self casting Dispel removes Charm. Or self targetting moves with Dispel effects, like Finger Snap or CG Nichol's Sharp Kick.
I just slow played the Vampire Lord to regen MP. According to the Gamepedia page, he only uses the insta death move as a counter attack on certain turns (I think 2, 5, 8 etc) and maybe on thresholds. He also only MP drains on thresholds after the preemptive attack. I just guarded as much as possible turn 1 to regen MP for Ayaka to Dedication and CG Nichol got buffs up, then it was fairly simple to mana battery MP back. Wilhelm had to eat a bunch of hits when he was charmed, but I had as much passive provoke as possible. After that, I just kept the boss' ATK and MAG broken as much as possible and he started hitting like a wet noodle.
The MP drain is hybrid damage, so adding DEF would probably reduce the MP drain more than more SPR.
My Ayaka has alot of MP Refresh on so she recovers a lot per turn. Mine has Pure White Blessing, Soluna Ring and Vestment of Mind equipped so she recovers a lot of MP a turn.
Man, that vampire. I spent half an hour farming esper orbs and he stayed at 99% HP. I thought, let's try a double Servant of the Blade, see if that gets me more orbs. Dead. The Hyohs weren't even using the same element.
[edit] Got the esper mission.

Woo. Odin down. Now to eat a well deserved dinner.
Greetings Starfighter! You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada.
Yeah basically if you can't kill the vampire lord from 50% then you are screwed. I got him to 12% then he charmed Ayaka/Lid and used death on Hyoh. Which brought him to 36% health (and drained everyone's mp). Next turn he used death on M Ramza and went back up to 51%.
It occurs to me that auto-buffs might make a good counter against preemptive MP drain. Next time staves or rods show up in the Item World, maybe put those 50% Spr/Def buffs on a few lesser weapons.

What are you talking about? I know Hyoh is strong, but this guy went down like a chump after I passed the initial RNG stage of the first few turns. He has 70 Def. Seventy. I feel like any decent physical chainer should be able to take him down in one turn using imperil and Atk buffs. Just make sure to dispel that 50% atk debuff he put on you. Maybe rebuff yourself.

I had Estark and friend Hyoh with Nichol's buffs and CG Lid's debuffs and got him down to around 12% hp from around 60 or so, I don't remember. But that was with triple strike and a metric fuckton of mana.

Did you dispel yourself before buffing? You can also use Nichol's LB if you don't care about the mission. And he's immune to Def/Spr breaks, so CG Lid's usefulness is limited in this fight.
How do you dispel yourself? Still use targeting fuckery?
Yes. I think at this point it's a legitimate gameplay mechanic. A whole bunch of trials are designed with this ability in mind. It's just difficult to pull off and not well known.
Aha, yep you're right TeaSpoon thanks. I was basically ignoring the ATK break he was putting on me. So this time I got to a point where my team had enough MP, dispelled myself, buffed my ATK, and then went ham with Estark/Hyoh and got him.
Only one mission but that's alright. Appreciate the help.
Lucious + Ayaka + A Rain + D. Fina = fucking bullshit. A Rain covered D. Fina, which means she casted her retaliation spell like a dozen times and wiped my entire fucking team.
I have lost twice this week already. Once to a team of five Liliths when they went first and at least two of them picked some chaining attack. The second to a team of two Liliths, two A.Rains, and Ayaka that counter chained three of my characters down.
I blame Lilith, and having to carry WWFina this week.

Fuckin Vampire Asshole is dead!
Once again Merc Ramza is a hero tank. I had been farting around all day trying to make a 2 tank setup work, but I couldn't bring enough DPS or enough mana battery (CG Nichol) to make it work.
Then I kicked myself when I realized that Merc Ramza has both covers! Gave him all my draw attacks stuff (which is 55% worth I think?) and that was enough. Managed to get all missions.
That vampire lord is very silly! Not sure how you'd get that done without a team of 5* bases, particularly some of the CG units. My team was CG Nichol + CG Fina + Wilhelm + Basch + Orlandeau + friend Hyoh. My first time ever using CG Nichol and this dude can do way too much stuff! Lawd

My extreme desire for the VP banner and my extreme aversion to spending money on this *stupid* banner configuration was driving me nuts.
I decided to split the difference with my 70% blue ticket on the VP banner, hoping for a Lucian.
I decided that since I have some 84 tickets, I could throw some 40 at the VP banner, and then if I got any VP rainbow I could try running their Step-up for decent chances at a 7* one.
I did get a rainbow. Namely Eiko. Damnit. Ah well. Would have been neat.
I saw that I hadn't done the esper mission of the Shiva 3* trial yet. It was too difficult when the trial first came out. Now I used Ace to fill the esper guage, some other unit to summon Ifrit, CG Lid to break, CG Nichol to buff, and double Hyoh to kill Shiva in one shot.
Got 3* Odin down. Took a couple of tries because I was not ready for his massive AOE attack on turn 4 and forgot to dispel him. Second time went smooth.
I. Nichol (redirect)
6* Zarg (Evasion, Buffs, DM)
7* Rem (esper mission, heals, AOE reraise CD)

Loving me some Rem lately. I just wish she had a magic reraise, but I have Ayaka for that on other trials.

[edit] It took me 5 4* tickets to get a single on-banner VP unit. It took me, I don't know, like 6 tickets to get the blue VP unit.
I can't even imagine trying to get a 7* on this banner.
They all chain together. I think the Pod bridges the gap between the Ruthless Blade hits. Whole bunch of hits. Tends to kill the whole enemy team. Sometimes it leaves one alive if one of the enemy units has ST cover. The same thing happens when I use Frozen Hurricane with an enemy A.Rain. It triggers his cover, leaving himself and his cover buddy alive (because his ST magic cover comes with damage mitigation).
I also pick the highest HP enemy unit to target because whoever I target gets extra damage (essentially double the damage from the Ruthless Blade). Currently, one of my Pod users has been replaced by Pirate Jake for the bonus. Usually I use Elfreeda and Cloud as Pod users (because they have innate TDH and thus accuracy), but I have enough TDH gear that I can make anyone 95% accurate using Equip Bow and Equip Harp (or rather, Instrumental Flair).
Fun fact. Bows and Harps have the highest accuracy. Guns come next with 60% accuracy. Except for Spica, which has 70% accuracy like Bows and Harps.

Once again Merc Ramza is a hero tank. I had been farting around all day trying to make a 2 tank setup work, but I couldn't bring enough DPS or enough mana battery (CG Nichol) to make it work.
Then I kicked myself when I realized that Merc Ramza has both covers! Gave him all my draw attacks stuff (which is 55% worth I think?) and that was enough. Managed to get all missions.

I decided to split the difference with my 70% blue ticket on the VP banner, hoping for a Lucian.

I did get a rainbow. Namely Eiko. Damnit. Ah well. Would have been neat.

Loving me some Rem lately. I just wish she had a magic reraise, but I have Ayaka for that on other trials.
