did not realize that maintenance started so fucking early because I was on a work trip for the past few days, just got back 2 hours ago and got stuck in an item world run with 120 NRG outstanding.
Sounds like it will be easy to get everything from the MK event without any bonus units except a friend.
Also, GL Sakura now has chaos wave frames with Eldritch Wave, which can be triple cast! She also has LB fill for a party member, 35% DM, and can multicast her non-grim skills with a CD!
Hrm, Lilith does indeed have AR frames, but it's Fire/Dark innate. On content not resistant to either, iust throw Necro Dagger on Viktor and BAM! No other damage dealers needed. That's silly.
How future proof is T.Terra? I'm pretty good for tanking, buffs and physical damage, but my magic damage options are pretty limited. Is she worth spending a UoC ticket on to get to 7 star?

She is still among the best Mages in JP. She is well worth a UoC

Oh yes, that sounds lovely. I can try and get my GLS dupe and then UoC a TT dupe and I'm getting excited just thinking about it. Innate triple cast only really seems to work with other GLS as TT has either double or quad cast, though I suppose it isn't so bad to triple and quad and let the chain drop. The only thing that slightly sucks is Eldritch Wave is fire and dark, so enemy resists xan really screw with it. I would've pteferred a fire option and a separate dark option. Thst being said, it fits thematically as her other move that starts with 'Eldritch' is a combo fire and dark attack, so it makes sense. I'm quite happy with how she turned out.
Lilith's kit looks crazy, she's got so much stuff. However, she doesn't seem to have to have a lot of innate stat boosts, so she might be a softer tank without really good gear.
D. Rain gets a bunch of DEF and SPR passives, including a 30% DEF and SPR TDH. He's got some cool stuff.

I mean I know Elly came along and stole the show (and Xenogears assets are in today's data but that doesn't necessarily mean anything), but if I look through the trial threads after today's (so starting with Reborn Gilg, or Dark Espers v2), you don't see TT at all. Occasionally see tornado chainers, single target mages,etc but TT maybe just for things like story event boss rushes which aren't too bad either way. Granted things may change a bit on GL but still doesn't seem like she would get used a bunch after current content. She was big on Anotella and Malboro, and can of course nuke non trial content, but I don't know if she's particularly future proof.
I finally got my first one a little while ago but she's still sitting around level 1. Even with 2 GLS I don't think I'll UoC the Terra unless something comes along where I feel like I'd need it.
I'm tempted to UoC TT now that I have a chaining partner for her, but yes fire/dark could be trouble with some content. I'm thinking more for the 10-man stuff since everything seems to be dark resist, but we only have a few of those left and I have not done any research on them to see if she is worthwhile. I think I'll hold onto my UoC tickets for now and see what comes along that I REALLY need to round out my team. If the older Halloween units are any indication, the Christmas banner is likely to be 2 new 5* units with a triple 5* banner for the older units - which means no 7* WKN for me. I guess Seighard is my next target then.
Anyone notice a huge performance decrease when chaining? My phone is a Pixel 2 and I've never had issues with it lagging before but my arena team just grinded to a hault.
I've noticed a slight delay, but nothing that bad. I'm running a Galaxy S7. There is definitely a long delay when pressing the start button for an arena match.
Hrm, I have the necessary equipment to get Reberta over the 400% ATK cap, putting her at 2016 ATK. That seems pretty good. When IW for Swords comes back, I should be able to do that with a free materia slot.
Edit: also that'll go up a little after I get the Demon Mail+, used Iron Colossus as a stand-in.

Yeah, I hate that her kit is crazy good. I don't really want her, but without Basch or even A.Rain, I could really use her. All her stuff is SPR scaling and D.Rain gets not a single move with Def as attack. She gets the same DM as WKN, where you can stack your supports DM on top. She can get 65% + 50% from Zargs LB for thresholds. She also brings CG Nichol back into the conversation with break resistance, so
Can you only run Nox if you are using emulators?
I've been playing the game on an Amazon Fire HD. . . although I could install it on my machine if I needed to

Uh. Nox IS an emulator. It Emulates a Cell phone. Then you run the actual app out of it. Nox has built in macro's which you apply a program to 'click' in the spots you need it to in the timing you need it to.

Saddly TT is almost as crippled as Tidus hiding that w ability behind triggers. I mean, if it cannot be killed in 3 rounds, or requires complex timing, tornado chainers are just easier for on demand dmg. You see this especially if you use TT in Arena. TT can quad-blast that first round, and then quad-blast again the third round, and then the fifth round you've got your doubles up. I mean, if your party is geared/balanced properly, the burst dmg from TT means you rarely ever see a round two but her contributions start to suffer if you do.
I could easily see her working, but being less than ideal, for all the incoming trial nonsense. Like M Ramza, having key abilities or burst behind triggers can easily be a game breaker. Its the only reason I might UoC Basch (or kinda want the Succubus/A.Rain). I love M Ramza, but that limited magic cover can cost you.
Edit: small additional comments.

I won't be able to 7* GL Sakura until tonight and then I'll see where she stands with her stats. I plan to hoard all of the Halloween tickets and then spend them all at the end of the event. Maybe I'll luck into a rainbow like I did with the Summer tickets - with "rate up" on the Halloween units... it could happen. Then I would need to chase a 4th GL Sakura for a 7* dupe or her STMR.
edit: Still hoping for a 2nd step-up (maybe next week) for the older Halloween units.

I figured what they hey and put mine up to play with. Just took a guess on what I had, I don't think I have anything better than 40% mag materias for her. I need a Corrupt Emperor, Malphaise's and Rem's STMR. Easy right?
On the plus side, I didn't have any desire to pull on the Halloween banner of death and nothing they did increased that. Demon Rain continues his niche fun route. You can get his attack even higher and with AoE cover, he may be able to counter easier trials to death. He doesn't get any Def as Atk moves or chain moves to take advantage of his tank/attacker role. Draco Lassworm, doesn't seem like he got anything amazing. The idea he could imdue ice to someone else didn't come to fruition. Since I don't have him, easy pass.
GL Sakura seems like the best 7* of the bunch, with T-Cast, CW chaining, and W-Cast for support moves. With her enhancements she could be a powerhouse. Of course I don't have any of her, so again no desire to pull.
Wanted a 7* Zargabaath so I did a step on his banner... Beatrix. How is her 7*? I assume underwhelming since no one has talked about her
Yeah she's not stellar. She picks up a bit once her enhancements hit, they help clean up a lot of the mess, but she's still middle of the pack.
On the plus side, you're now only two Beatrix's away from that sweet, sweet STMR.

Went the full lap... Got another Beatrix and my first Eiko. Bah! Oh well!
Lasswell seems pretty ok. Can self imbue ice and has DR/AT frames & dual ability, triple after LB for burst. So he can use something like Cloud's STMR. AT frames aren't super great yet since he's the only one, but that's the next big usable family. Wonder if Fryevia will get AT frames. Don't know if he'll really be a standout, but not bad if you have him. Though still not worth trying to pull out of a triple banner.
So with IW cutting out right before I was able to roll on my level 10 properties, I did get my dagger back. Unfortunately it doesn't have the stats I went in with (22%HP 10%MP), but instead the properties from the 9 levels I did before getting kicked out (HP 7%, MP 3%)... One last fuck you from IW on my dagger runs. I put in a customer request, but I doubt they'll be able to do anything.
Adding more insult to injury, I took a break before that last Bowie run to run through Arc Arcana. Used it for the 'kill with magic' mission on the bonus stage, so I figured might as well. Not only did I get a rare on the first level but all the stats I was getting were decent.
I'm convinced more than ever they bugged daggers the other way when fixing the previous bug. I did over a dozen runs on a bowie knife and not a single one got me stats better than what I got on it from the first IW. Hell none of the stats were better than any of the 3 bowie knives I ran through in the first IW. If it wasn't for the fact daggers wouldn't be coming back for 4-6 months, I probably would have saved my 80 some NRG pots.

Apparently I was a complete slacker because boy is this turning into a lot of lapis quickly!
Good point. I have almost 400 nrg pots gathering dust.
Also, GL Sakura now has chaos wave frames with Eldritch Wave, which can be triple cast! She also has LB fill for a party member, 35% DM, and can multicast her non-grim skills with a CD!
Incoming extended maintenance?
