So I did some summoning on the raid and Grave Hexvius banners. Between the two of them I had a little over one million coins. All of that resulted in ZERO summon tickets.
I know they're rare but seeing it like that, not even one in one million... just.... man

Yep, the last I think three or four, whatever it's been raid coin summon events that we've done I've averaged around 800k coins, not a single 4* ticket off any of them. Not one 10% moogle either, come to think of it.
Last few raids/elemental battles I've managed a few 4* tickets and a couple 10% moogles here or there. I have been getting a huge amount of 1% moogles though.
Looks like I won't be able to get the final two rewards from the Brave Hexvius event points because of the four days I couldn't log in. Similarly, I won't be able to get the 50 spin slots ticket. Oh well. I sure am glad the compensation they talked about has both been mentioned again and materialized...

Funnily enough, I just got an email from them. They had asked on like October 26 asking people who couldn't connect to submit a tech support ticket. The reply was basically "this issue is already resolved, compensation is being discussed for a later date".
Finally got around to taking out Gilgamesh. Hardest part was figuring out a proper elemental attack distribution, but wasn't too bad after that. A pair of Godreas burn him down real fast on turn 6. Now on to the dark esper rematch so I can get those Tiger Fangs before the item dungeons start up tomorrow.
Decided to test out Godrea against the demon lantern. I grabbed a super sub-optimal friend for it and still beat the ever living hell out of the poor thing. My first clear with Circe as my damage dealer took...a lot of rounds, and I went through two full Sealing Rites rotations to do it. 2xGodrea killed the Lantern in 9 rounds, with a single rotation of Sealing Rites. Keep in mind two rounds were spent entirely in setting up, so 7 rounds of dealing damage.
I may go back again if I find a better geared friend Godrea and see how long it takes if I entirely skip the Sealing Rites mechanic. Certainly will still be faster than my Circe clear.

I think I can gear my Godrea pretty well, I do have CG Jake and Vincent's STMRs, so at least her weapon choices are good. I'll see what I can do after maintenance / I wake up tomorrow
Tickets pulls for Chair Rain.
6 rare tickets - nope.
90% blue - blue.
4* ticket - rainbow! AK Rain!!
I think I got extremely lucky this morning. I UoC his prism, leveled, and max potted him. I will put him up as a friend when I figure out his best gear.
Cruor, I've got my Godrea set up in Event 2. Not sure what esper to set, so she's currently on Diabolos. She's potted, but not door'd yet. I keep getting surprised at how high her DEF and SPR get when contrasted to her lower HP.
It took way more tries than I would have liked, but the dark esper rematch is done. My strategy was probably sub-optimal, but I finally managed to do it with a team of Xon, Jiraya, M. Ramza, Lilith, and two Godreas. Now let us never speak of it again.
Free 10+1 had Rinoa #3. That STMR seems somewhat useful in certain situations, so not bad, assuming I ever get a fourth.
@Cruor, I have my Godrea set up (still in Event 1) if you want to use that. Set up with Demon Killer and on Diablos.
My Free 10+1 summon had CG Firion #1 in it. Pretty nice sword that I can run through IW,
Also, word of warning for those looking to do the new step-up. The old units do exist on the 3rd step guaranteed rainbow. It shows it in the rates page and lots of people have pulled Delitas and older units with it.
I got him as well. Not sure if I should UoC because who the hell would I chain him with?
Chair Rain is a Stardust Ray chainer so he chains with himself, A. Shadow, Malph (LB), Elena (Blade of Heavens), Sieg (Dangerous Rose +1). There are actually a lot of options. I may enhance Sieg's ability to chain with him.
My luck sucks today. I used 40 regular tickets and 10 4* tickets and didn't get any rainbows. Has the rate on those actually improved, or is that just for lapis summons?
Just going off of the FFBE Equip build for max LB damage, it looks like Chair Rain is at least 25% higher LB damage than Esther.
That doesn't take into account his CD, which gives him a 200% LB damage boost. For comparison, Esther gets a LB damage boost of 35% from her LB. Chair Rain will be probably be doing about twice the damage of Esther, but I don't have exact maths.
Someone on reddit mentioned that the step up 3rd step still has older units in the pool as someone got Delita. Could be that the rate and changes are post banner or it's a bug.
I'm strongly considering UoCing a Malphasie prism to grab her STMR. I think I'll wait until after the free 10+1s are done, in case I pull an extra copy of her from them.
I've seen mention that it's not worth chasing Chair Rain's STMR. It gets used for a little while, then there are better options that come along. Also, you end up gearing him for elemental damage and killers to really boost his damage. I know he has fire/earth/lightning imbue already, but it saves him a turn to get right into his LB.
On a whim, I geared up my awakened Lucius to see where he could get to. If I door potted his ATK, I could get him over the 3k mark, which is nice. Could be even higher if I had a better sword (like Lightning's STMR). I probably won't have a lot of chances to use him, as he competes with Karten for gear, but it's cool to see him get the love he got.
But going through Lucius' gear made me once again realize that we need better gear options for different weapon types. Lucius can use axes, but our selection of 1h axes is bad. Ignacio's STMR is good, but it's 2h and locked to fire. We need more 1h and 2h axes. Whips also need more support, but that also requires having a good whip using unit.
The bundle of 3k lapis is interesting. It offers a materia that is probably very good for AK Rain. I don't know if it's worth it, but it is TMR quality. I'll wait to see the maths, but I'm thinking not.
It's a neat idea, TDH and LB damage, but it'll have limited use-cases (King Rain, maybe King Lasswell, Esther/Hyoh if you don't have King Rain). The extra 30% LB damage may also end up not worth it for King Rain specifically because of his 200% LB damage boosting CD. The extra 30% from the materia just may suffer from diminishing returns.

It's interesting if you have say DK Luneth or someone with a TMR like that. You'd still get the 100% as Buster Style, but you'd add 30% attack and 30% LB damage. However whenever I tested this with FFBE Equip, the increase just wasn't worth it since yes you're removing BS which has nothing but TDH, but that 2nd materia slot may be giving you the same or better stats. For example War Goddess' Insignia has the exact same combo of stats.
EDIT: I can only really see it being useful for units that don't need a lot of TDH equipment. Hyoh for example has 200% TDH innate after enhancements. So you could use this in place of buster style and only 1 marshal glove. But I'm still not sure if that small amount of damage is worth 3K lapis.
Wish I had bought the 2nd Red Sword moogle during the MK event. It feels a bit like a cheat code. Throw it on a unit like Shadowlord who has multiple KO thresholds and they are nearly invincible to 90% of content.

Godrea #6
And #7
Okay I have to stop this is stupid
Energy pots?
Maintenance is tonight. 4 hours before server reset.
Make sure to use up raid coins as needed. I don't know what ends when anymore.

FFVI raid is still ongoing, Grave Hexvius raid coins banner will be up until next week's maintenance.

Just Cid right now and his BIS is TDW. Though he’s much easier to gear with TDH.
Since it’s wind, could make a good weapon for chair Rain if that element is needed.

Also, Chair Rain's LB chains perfectly with Elena and Hyoh LB. I guess I can keep Elena in my main squad still!

Now I need to figure out what else to run through IW now since Longinus was my main goal.
