    How do you dispel yourself? Still use targeting fuckery?

    Lakshmi has a party ally dispel you can get as well (Dispelling Smile). I had it at first since I can't get the targeting thing to ever work for me. But that charm protection has been necessary these days so I have to wait till she levels up more to get it back.

    My experience with Asshole Count:

    1) Did his first charm land on CG Fina? If yes, reset.
    2) It didn't? Yay, you win.

    As soon as she's not charmed, it doesn't matter if she gets charmed again, that's enough time for her to regen mana, toss reraises out, for other people to have ATK/MAG broke the boss, and then it's just wait for all the rest of the missions.

    I've dropped 40 or so tickets on this VP banner and only have a single fucking unit from it. I might just sell all these moogles and be done with it.

    Well, my raid macro so far is doing fine, but with the connection not always connecting fast, it sometimes finishes before the raid is actually done causing issues. Guess I just need longer pauses in between stuff. but at least I can automate that tedious grind.

    Man, so many Espers getting 3*. Need more ways to get more Supercite, I feel weird when my Espers aren't max level.

    Yeah, I think all of my opened espers are around level 13-20. I've got two maxed, ifrit and shiva. I'm debating throwing all orbs into Siren since she's near 40 ish or keep slowly 1-2 leveling various espers every week.

    Vampire down, forgot no LB but eh. Didn't realize he had a ST Death skill (not 100%?) so that was a bit annoying. I really hate any esper related missions.

    There's apparently a thread on reddit about it.

    I wouldn't have realized, except an hour or so ago I was selling cactaurs only to find that I could select my Orlandeau and Ramza for sale as if they were unlocked. I panicked and went back to doublecheck everything was locked.

    It's only then that I realized they weren't my party. I have an extra copy of every unit that was in my main party at the time the raid issue happened. I was in the raid, killed the boss, waited for rewards to show up, only for it to prompt me that I had to login again and kicked me back to the main screen.

    Congratulations. You got free units. Make sure you report it to Gumi, have them give you the okay to keep them. Otherwise you run the risk of getting accused of injecting units.

    [edit] I'm going to stuff my raid team full of units I want to 7* and 7*s that have good STMRs. Just in case.

    Well, I nearly died. I tried to go for 1HKO but the thing survived with 10% HP and proceeded to murderize my entire party through a layer of +110% SPR and 30% damage mitigation like it wasn't even there - except Onion Knight, who thanks to having huge elemental resists survived the onslaught with about 1K HP and could deal the killing blow.

    Obviously didn't manage the last two missions but whatever, really. I really just wanted the dagger for Rem, and the moogle is a nice extra.

    So, working back thru some of last season's quests I noticed I hadn't done the blue sector quest line in Madam's Manor. I am now doing that, clearing some missions I didn't and that'll get me ready for the next step.

    Therefore:
    1. Ancient Ruins 2
    2. Get yellow sector
    3. Defeat anima x2
    4. finish off quests
    5. Move on to Next Story chapters.

    That's a full slate for the end of the day, haha.

    Not particular. all it really offers is star quartz for the token turn ins. We don't know if it'll turn into something like the raven's hideout quest line with really nice reward at the end or possibly just a new star quartz exclusive shop or something.

    Spent the tickets from the Inner Chamber on the banner, landed Lenneth, so I ran her Step-Up and hit second Lenneth on the very last step! Hell yeah! I think with this I'm sorted out for units I actually want until Christmas, where depending on the quality of WKN's 7* form I might try for a second one.

    Okay, now how the hell do I equip this lady. She seems to want either swords or bows? I have kind of fuck all for bow support though.

    Tinkerer Carrie has a 1h bow that might work if you want her DW. I am sure you have her since you have Christine.

    Hmmm! I had legitimately not thought of that. Like, sure, she seems to be more oriented to doublehand, what with having 150% TDH on her own, but I kind of have zero TDH stuff. Her own TMR on one hand and Carrie's bow on the other (I am pretty sure I kept a Carrie, yes) should be a reasonable facsimile until I manage to get any TDH stuff.

    I has assumed these VP banners would be like in Japan. So when my final pull on the Lenneth step up had a rainbow, I was super happy. Then it turned into an Awakened Rain. I was pissed. Royally pissed.

    Daily dropped gold, shattered to Rainbow revealing Guts Arngrim.

    10+1 had a double rainbow, giving me my first SBDFina, and VoTD#2.

    Nothing super useful, but still neat and another 7* for the collection.

    Halloween got me shit. 5+1 got me shit. 10+1 got me shit. I am at this point praying for Randi to come so I can not get him and put this gambling game down for good.

    It's gotten to the point where I am legit jealous and pissed off at people in this thread when they get a rainbow... And it shouldn't ever be that way. I just don't get any satisfaction from this game anymore. I just do it for the pulls.... And my pulls are always bad.

    At this point I don't even merge my units for TMRs. I just sell them.

    The issue is that I have been playing so long that 4* units and below are completely worthless. So I HAVE to get a 5* to feel good about a pull.

    But now even if I see a rainbow come down I know that if it's a new 5* I'll need yet another one to make them useful.

    Yeah, I know how you feel. I must have done over a 100 pulls in these last two months, with nothing to show for it. The RNG in this game is brutal.

    And honestly, I would never recommend this game to anyone, nor would I encourage anyone thinking of quitting to keep playing. It's like standing in a casino and inviting people in. It makes me feel dirty.

    Anyway, now that STMR moogles are a thing, do we still sacrifice a full 7* unit to get a STMR or do we just wait patiently until we get the STMR moogle update?

    I had the same no luck, @urahonky.

    Hell, more than half were super garbage like counter, bioga blade and thundaga blade.

    I, too, would like Randi #2. I spent a lot looking for Pirate Jake so unless it's far away I can't really utilize the step up.. if they have one.

    The only reason I'm still here is my absurd levels of luck. I wouldn't recommend anyone start the game now, the barriers to entry for new players are crazy high since the 7* meta, and we haven't kept pace with JP in terms of ease of pulling 5* units. Part of me feels like things like the Mixer will never come to us, much like how we never got Friend Levels/Bonuses.

    Also, I doubt we will get the "only banner rainbows during limited unit banners" perk JP has. Gumi hates the global fanbase too much for that.
