    The bundle is a good value but not amazing. The STMR bundle in the shop last month was $50 and most $50 bundles now come with around 10K lapis. So they are pretty equivocal, other than I can use in game earned lapis to get these STMR's, which boosts the value quite a bit.

    I got it to get Reberta's STMR but we'll see how Friday goes. I'll hopefully have the ticket from the Demon Parade, a 10+1, and a ton of EX tickets. Maybe I'll weirdly pull another Reberta.

    Not sure what to do with the coins though. I have 106, with only 10 tickets coming tomorrow. So I'm guessing it a gold pull for me.

    I grabbed the bundle for Reberta ‘s STMR. Universal attack plus bulk is nice. I’ll just wait till prisms for Kryla #2. I have a ton of trust coins.

    A. Lasswell is nice, high damage and tankiness. But he’s locked to water or wind.

    His most reliable damage is from Water/Wind, yes, but he does have non-elemental options. Importantly Showdown, his big damage CD, is non-elemental, and you can use Summer - Ocean Splitter as a non-elemental chaining option when his CD is not available. The mods on Ocean Splitter (6.9x with passive) are pretty bad compared to Winds of the Sea and Waves of the Ocean (16.5x). Alternatively, you could rely on chaining his LB (22x, 2xAMoE frames, which means it's slightly better than 3xOcean Splitter) on turns when his CD is down. His LB is only 20 crysts, so it'll be up most of the time, if not every turn.

    Sure, there are better options for other elements, but if you WANT to use other elements with A.Lasswell you could.

    According to the Wiki, Ocean Splitter is a water based attack. Really his LB is it, and it has provoke on it, which may not always work out. The rest are CD finisher moves.

    You'll get more coins with the Rankx5 tickets we are getting on Thursday. Save the coins until then, they may get you another Platinum pull.

    You guys weren't joking about A Lasswell. Holy hell. Him + Randi + water Samurai guy from this event + Elly hit the damage cap easily.

    Finally got the 5* from the event, now I have a Dark Veritas STMR.

    Molten variables hiss and roar. On my mind-forge, I hammer them into the greatsword Epistemology. Many are my foes this night.

    yeah I use him to imperil with his chain move then cap it for the third ability, while chaining water Esther and Randi. With Loren's breaks, I hit the damage cap every time in the raid. I usually see 1.2-1.4 billion show up on screen.

    For the raid I break/buff with Sylvie, imperil all with Kryla, and then chain Randi/A.Lasswell for easy raid max damage. Randi just uses one of his AMoE moves, and A.Lasswell uses Enriched Mind + Wind move + Showdown. Enriched mind is used first since it's fixed damage and doesn't benefit from imperil/imbue

    I'm still using the tried and true Auron break/buff, Nyx sac, IF Katy x2 entrust to Elena x2 LB.

    I really should find a better max dmg team.

    I am 6 runs away from being done with this stupid lantern!

    I would not bet against there being something weird under the hood regarding pulls. I've still yet to see Ramza or Veritas of the Light in my 3+ years of playing the game. I also feel like there are plenty of people that don't have a ton of rainbows but will have 7 or 8 of one character in particular.

    I still have yet to see Duke, Shadow Lord, or Orlandeau. And there's tons of the newer characters I don't have.

    But yeah, eight Tidus, seven Fohlen, and seven Maries...

    I've gotten 6 or 7 Fohlens and 5 Delitas, but the only Lightning I've ever gotten was from the Rookie quest.

    Can't survive long enough against the dumb lantern to get my LBs charged to kill it for the LB mission. I beat it once but only got the no KO mission.

    Such a dumb fight.

    Did a random ticket pull at the Octopath banner in case the raid banner drops trust moogles.

    Rainbow drops. Loren #1 pops out. Well, I guess she is a good unit.

    Just checked and SBDF is the oldest Rainbow I do not have, followed by Lunera.

    Oh man we are getting some STUFF for this 40Mil DL campaign.

    4 Guaranteed 5* stepup tickets and 16 standard 40mil Stepup tickets for login rewards. I assume thats 20 summons of an undetermined quantity.

    Our 7% Rainbow Weeklies start Monday

    40mil Quests that give out goodies

    A 9k 6+1+4 that give 4 guaranteed 5stars a 100% Trust Moogle and a Diamond Key. Edit: This is also only going to be rainbows from the start of the year until now. So expect mostly on-meta units from this. Suddenly making it somewhat tempting.

    All of this on top of our F-Up Summons tomorrow.

    We get 4 guaranteed 5* units from the 40M download celebration. This looks interesting because each "step" is locked to a specific pool of 5* units by year they were releaseed. Should be good!

    Then there is a 9k lapis summon that has 4 guaranteed rainbows. I don't think it's worth it at this point with how many units are in the pool. Plus, we'll be getting a lot of rainbows over the next few weeks anyway - between the FU tickets, 40M download event, 7% 10+1s on Mondays, and event 5*s.

    As Reigner mentioned, the 9k lapis summon is restricted to rainbows released since January 2019. So the oldest unit you can get is Tifa/Vincent.
    Assuming it's there for one week, I am scared of what the banner on the 13th is going to be. Some new GL super units after Gumi cackles at trapping us with 18k lapis worth of recent rainbow summons.

    Probably not gonna do the 4 random rainbow summon. I'm pretty much set for units, and the other 40M/F-up summons might get me anything I am missing, and if not, I have a bunch of UoCs saved up. The lapis is more valuable to me at the moment since we have Halloween coming up soon.

    I was also just wondering when the 7% 10+1s were gonna start. So excited for my deluge of salty blues.

    Going to wait until Friday to use the 5* ticket from today and from the event. Knowing my luck, I'd pull one of the OT characters and I don't want to wind up wanting to chase the dupe. So I'll wait until they're out of the EX pool and avoid that probability entirely.

    I think I'd like to see another round of Halloween Costume units. Give me Death Knight Wilhelm. Give me Emperor of the Underworld Shera. Give me Faerie Princess Ignacio. Barring that, just go off the fucking wall and give us a crazy Dracolich unit or something.

    I'm almost expecting them to make summonable unit versions of the Pumpking Reaper or the Skeleton King. Icd be okay with that.

    Since OT units are going away on Friday I went ahead and used my other 5* ticket in hopes of getting Primrose, unfortunately it was Ignacio. Although it is his 7* so that's cool.

    I decided to hold off on the 10k shop bundle, mostly because I can't bring myself to use Aloha Lasswell even if he's a meta-tier DPS. He just breaks muh immersion too much.

    The 9k quad-rainbow seems like a no-brainer for me, though - there are a lot of units that would be highly relevant for me to pick up either a first or second copy. Between the anniversary summons and the 40mil campaign, I'm hoping to be able to round out my roster considerably.

    Mine was either my 3rd or 4th Loren. I'll have to go check. 4th would be a decent sword, 3rd would be sad trombone I suppose.

    She is my breaker. I really should see what else I could use instead of her as I think I have Auron sitting around who may be better.

  • TipharesTiphares Registered User regular
    I missed the part about the limited rainbow pull for the 9k summon. I still don't think I'll be going for it. I still need to recover after splurging on the Elena banner. My team feels pretty solid right now. I could UoC Sylvie or Fid to improve my support slot, but their 6* forms are working for now and CG Nichol is putting in some work after enhancements.
