    Leveling units is a pain. Wow.

    Once you start getting upper level dps that can solo some of the nodes it becomes easier. You just stick the unit with the other solo unit and they get all the xp with as little xp penalty as possible. Like I can run with Sol and Baiken by themselves on a couple mid to upper hunts and so throw in a unit with them and hopefully it survives to get xp heh.

    I've finally started getting some seeds. I'm guessing Angie's a good place for them? Seems her S3 would be pretty nice with a 1 turn cooldown. With souls you could then keep it up on going.

    Other wise, I've read Sez drops off later so I'm not sure I want to boost him. Same for Mercedes, she's just my only AoE unit right now. I love Carmainerose but she's a 3* unit, making it tough to use rare seeds haha. Though she's been handling tank duty pretty well. Might try for some lifesteal gear.

    Just make her a 6 star unit. This is not a game where you go "3 star is temp unit will ditch later." 3 star usually means that someone else out there can do more damage for some less effort, but all 4 banshee girls (well Pearl Horizon not so much for PvE), are perfectly fine units to invest some real resources into.

    I've been bringing a friend along with my Ravi and Tenebria and leveling dogs that way, but it's a grind just getting them to 30. I want to make my first 6*.

    Though I'm not even sure who that's going to be yet.

    Edit: probably Ravi. Probably.

    I'd do Ravi. She does damage, tanks, and sustains herself. She's one gal wrecking crew who'll make each subsequent 6 star easier.

    At what point after the guaranteed gear would I farm equipment?

    Would that just be from hunts?

    Some stuff on reddit has recommended farming lab 2-5 for gear.

    My Ravi with the level 50-something Abyss lifesteal set (and a level 85 defense axe + chestpiece) can solo-with-a-friend Hard mode in the event and like, earth element missions through chapter 6 on world difficulty. She's slow but super efficient for farming.

    (Also turn off skills when autoing, you need her to be at max rage for lifesteal tanking)

    Yea hunts are your gear. The Nixied Laby is 50 accessories so that would be next. If you’re not up to there by the time you’re capped on compasses go through Farche. I just remember getting past its level of gear real fast.

    Farche gives you the gear needed to reach Wyvern 11, rather than farming 8 repeatedly for gear

    hmmm so Angie's S3 tier 3 unlock requires Baby Mouse Insignia. Is it worth grinding through 3-2 or 3-3 for it? or just wait for an event?

    EDIT: Also I can't seem to find much online around accessories. Is it basically luck of the draw with hunts?

    Yeah, My Carmainerose is a beast. Still my main DPS. Her 2 just wrecks things. And her kit is nuts when you really look at it. Buff stripping that buffs her. Combat Readiness debuff w/ speed buff for herself. Bonus self healing! She's really awesome.

    Ugh, was on track to finish Chapter 10 tonight but nope the boss of 10-7 pulled some bullshit on its last chunk of life and wiped me out before I could even react. I'm not paying gold to revive units, which is a stupid-ass mechanic, so I guess my first shot at the Moonlight Summon will be tomorrow.

    Patch notes out, roll your guaranteed Baiken now if Dizzy doesn't interest you (but she should).

    Dizzy: Taurus Ice Mage

    S1: AoE with chance to stun
    S2: AoE that extends all non-stun/sleep debuffs and reduces CR by 50%
    S3: Guaranteed to miss AoE. Reduces speed, attack, and hit chance of all enemies.

    I think I can probably slam her into a wyvern team with Surin, but I still need moar speed to kill Wyvern 10. Still, if I survive the double attack I think I could easily clear it in manual with double debuff extends

    Yes! Dizzy. And she's a blue! I need a blue very badly. I really hope I luck out into pulling her.

    So I've finally gotten my new main team of Kluri, Carmainrose, Iseria, and Achates to 50. It's pretty nice to be able to do the new hard mode world without any issue. I've also started rocking an alternate team version with Achates as the tank with Idol's Cheer and wow, it does work. Setting her up as the tank and getting a full round of invulnerable off her 2 is great. Which is funny cause I find the invuln doesn't work too well with her not tanking. Since it's only one round, my characters are usually fast enough that they take a turn before the enemies and loose the invuln :(.

    I'm now working on some fun long term goals like powering up Lorina and getting her and Kluri's specialty changes. Figuring out gear and stuff has been fun as well. I like these sort of end game goals that are long but not crazy unobtainable.

    Though I still think some stuff like the cost on the tournament and that first record grind for Sol is a little ridiculous.

    I do need a good blue since my current option right now is Romann.

    Finished 10-10 and, uh, was that it? That was the last fight? One phase, no real mechanics, no big epic clash of powers or conclusion to the entire story? The animation was more impressive than the damage, even the previous boss was more difficult.

    Well, unlocked Moonlight Summon so let's see what pops out. Gloomyrain huh? Guess my luck needed some rebalancing

    Dizzy looks good, an upgrade on Mercedes. What's the best way to try and pull for her? I have around 100 bookmarks and around 1000 gems.

    Romann is strong in PVP. Taking all the teams buffs away post Roozid howl is fun to watch on LadyJubs screen heh.

    Dizzy looks to be one of those you cant miss. *hyuk* Pair her with Surin and Baiken and just destroy bosses.

    Edit: The only way to pull her Trajan is the luck of the draw. She will be gauranteed at 120 pulls but just hope you get her before that. There is also a "deal" in the normal game currency spender tabs for 950 gems to summon things that is worth grabbing if you are going to push for her. Being that you are still new you most likely have a ton of gems still in story mode and such to grab so just go ham on gems etc to try to pull her.

    While she looks to be good enough as a main debuffer with her 2 she will shine when you can fill out a team to work with her. Like what I will do with her if I get her: Baiken, Surin, Dizzy and Angie.

    Woah, I didn't realize that pulling on the special event summons made it where you couldn't pull any other 5*s. That's odd. I wonder if that means Dizzy replaces all other 5* pulls or simply turns 5* pulls into 4*.

    The rate is .25 lower(1% as opposed to 1.25), but any 5* you pull will be Dizzy no matter what. No downgrading takes place.

    The chances of getting off-banner units are FGO high normally, so limited banners are a goddamn godsend.

    I’d rather spend that 3 hundo to 100% get the unit I want then 900 on 3 units I didn’t.

    Story's not over, just this section. The world difficulty does have a story associated with it though and deals with some aftermath. I don't know if we have a time table for the next section of the plot.
