I did the first two steps of the new CNY banner in hopes of getting Qin (or whatever). But I didn't get anything. I think I'm going to wait until the next banner is announced before I decide if I want to go any further.
Don't worry about my complaining. There are friends in my list with bonus units, just no 7* ones. It's not a big deal. I'm just being grouchy.
[edit] The best thing about raid is that they're free, essentially. You get free stuff for putting in the time and effort. What you get from the raid pull is random, but you get individual rewards. The best thing about KM events is that you get to pick what you buy. It costs energy, though.
The best thing about wave battles is nothing. You don't get to pick what you get. It's not free. There are no individual rewards. It combines the worst parts of raids and KM events. That they made is slightly better than previous wave battles doesn't mean they made it good.
You have to give them credit for trying something new after the last wave battle was so poorly received. They still don't have the right formula, but maybe someday.
It's questionable if they made it better. Adding bonus units doesn't mean less energy is necessary. It means that they'll have increased the material requirements for crafting event gear. The people full bonus teams get an advantage. Everyone is now required to spend lapis/tickets to get one or two bonus units to make farming manageable.
No 3* bonus units, so you'll have to use 4* tickets. Of the 3 4* units on the banner, only 2 are bonus units. There's a banner without a rate-up for bonus units. Lots of people are going to pull from that banner and get nothing.
This is bullshit.
I'm very resentful towards the game for making me spend those 2 4* tickets. Regular MK events have 4* tickets in the shop, but unless I'm crazy lucky I'm not going to get those tickets back this event.
[edit] In a regular KM event, you have 3* bonus units. If you need 4* bonus units, you can farm until you get the tickets from the shop and pull for them. In this event, if you don't have past bonus units or 4* tickets saved up, you're fucked. Half of the gear you can craft is for newbies, but newbies are the ones who got fucked the hardest.
There really is nothing good about wave events. They're garbage. I used to skip them because the gear was garbage too, but this raid has two pieces I want.
I like it because doing 5 raids and being done until 5 hours goes by felt like such a constraint. I hate having to login multiple times a day. I want to do my shit in the morning and then not touch the game again until the evening or the next day. This lets me burn through all 160 NRG and then not have to babysit the game throughout the day to ensure maximum orb usage AND I still get to stock up on cactaurs/gils turtles.
I do wish it had some sort of reward other than that. Maybe an increased chance of getting a regular ticket/4* ticket?
I'm not saying you're wrong though. I guess I just wanted a change of pace on the daily grind... It's day 1 though. Tomorrow I'll be bitching, as usual. :P
I wish they had just added a second Mog Minister in the vortex and made this an MK event. You can drop all your energy in those too.
Because let's be honest here. Wave battles are really just a way to have MK events without going through the trouble of programming an extra NPC. I'm sure if they tried that, it would break the game.

That's true except MK events don't really help for those of us in need of cactaurs and gil turtles.

Yeah i’d hold off. None of these units are that great. Keep 1 moogle for Qin’s tmr and if we get a container for the 3rd anniversary, you could use it.
There’s a chance we’ll be getting SoM or Xenogears at the end of the month.
Mine is, like, 300 ATK lower than yours. And he's great at that level. I really need to try him out in a trial or something. Some fire / wind chaining with Ang finishing will be pretty awesome.

The theoretical max for Ang looks to be around 2900 or so, but I'd need STMRs I'm nowhere close to.
I've also got Yun at 2115 right now which makes me pretty happy. I could go higher if I got off my ass and beat Antonella.
I am still really tempted to bankrupt myself and do the step up, because I have one Chow, one Yun, and one Ang. But I just know if I do something I need will come two weeks later.
Sucked it up and finished the second round of stepup snd got my 7* Yun on the last step. Now all three of my boys are 7* and I feel a lot better. Still have 27k Lapis, so time to hoard it again.

My ex ticket came down Loren #4. Guess I've got a nice new sword!
Ran into my first bonus mobs in days. So i threw a ticket at the old banner, came down Yun. Kind of happy as Chow or Ang would have put more pressure on me to get their 7* versions. As is, nice 100% unit in the arena now and a little more help for the event.
I used all of my NRG yesterday on the CNY event and did not run into a single bonus mob. Today, just about every run has had 1 or 3 in it. RNG is weird sometimes, unless Gumi had a bug in the rates and ninja fixed it overnight. I can craft the only thing I want now, but I'm going to keep running it for the cactuars, gil snappers, and chance at more moogles and tickets.

Well, I asked a friend of mine to throw some twenty more tickets into the banner and he landed me a second Ang, so that is nice. I still would have preferred Chow, mind. Ang is very difficult to gear!

Yeah he is purely a TDH character. He does get 150% total TDH when he has Sunbreaker equipped, so it's not a massive journey to max out from there. Killer Bow+ is a nice alternative if you don't have it.

Thing is, I don't think I have any TDH gear? For a thing that is supposed to be THE current meta it sure is hard to get any pieces that give it.

I forgot he got that extra 50% for his trust ability. Just swapped Buster Style for Tomb Raider, gimme that LB fill!

Hey, Gumi, how about an extra button to do 50K coins on one go.
*Sigh*
That's an entire week of farming, isn't it?
Are you looking for a bonus for this event? Are we friends? I havent gotten to play much today but I'll put my 5* monks up

Hi5 I just got it too. Now to wait for the Item World.
Yeah, I need to run it through item world badly. Gonna go get the flame whip tonight and I'll need to run it as well.
Yun is so good you guys.
